New Orleans, Feb. 18.—Mr. H. M. Neill, the well known cotton statistician, to-day issued a circu lar as to the probability of consump tion of American cotton for the current season. After reviewing the results of previous seasons Mr. Neill says : In America the southern mills are doing well and will probably consume 100,000 bales more than last year. But the reverse is the case with the northern mills. With these promises we may now form a fair idea of the actual con sumption of American cotton dur ing the year ending the 1st of September, 1898. Now as to sup ply, European and American mill stock Sept. 1, 1896, 400,000 ; visi ble supply American Sept. 1, 1897 800,000 ; crop of 1897-98, 11,000,- 000 ; total supply of American for the yearji2,200,000.

Milwaukee Seems l* be the Storm Centre— Snow Drifts SO root High. Milwaukee, Wis„ Feb. 20.—The blizzard which started in yesterday and of which Milwaukee is the centre, still continues. Snow to the depth of seven feet is piled up all along the different lines of the street railway. Railway trains on all roads entering Milwaukee are all the way from two to fifteen hours late. All the boats plying between here and across the lake and northern and southern points, are accounted for. The captain of the steamer Wisconsin, which arrived from Grand Havre to-night, reports a a very stiff gale blowing and the snow so blinding that it is impossi ble to see more than a foot ahead Reports from neighboring towns and from northern Michigan, are to the effect that the storm now raging is the worst of the season. In Oshkosh such a blizzard has not been seen in 25 years. Street car service is everywhere crippled and passenger trains are either stalled or badly delayed. Twelve Marinette fishermen are missing and grave fears are eater- tained for their safety. In some places the snow drifted to a height of twenty feet. visible excess at Sept. 1 over last year, 1,950,000. While I have used the figures of rr,000,000 bales in these calcula tions it is quite manifest from the movement that the crop will be considerably more. Z. T. Hallerton, Macon, Ga.

A fact often overlooked, or not al ways understood, is that woman suffer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troubles as the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that rea son any distress, disease or inconve nience manifested in the kidneya, back, bladder or urinary passage ia of ten, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kid neys and bladder need doctoring. If you have pain or dull aching in the back, pass water too frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burn ing,—these are also convincing proofs of kidney trouble.
