THRASHING OLD STRAW.‘ '
' Bilver Question‘Up Again In Ohio, Iowa
and "‘ entucky.
The farmers of Ohio, Iowa and Ken-_
tucky will; be called upbn this fall to
vote again upon the silver question, the
same old question which they voted on
last fall. and which they no doubt
thought at that time they were settling
once for all. The silverites are reviving~
this issue in the hope of gaining for
their party an impetus this year which
will enable it to carry the congressional
elections in 1898 and to secure the presi-
denCy in 1900. There is nothing new in
the question-as it is now presented. It
was fully discussed last year, but all
the old arguments will be brought to
the front once more.
It will be well for the farming class
and the other voters of these states to
study the question afresh and ask the
politicians what good the free coinage
of silver can ,do us or our interests.
They will be told first that times are
still hard in the country and that the
cause of them is the want of sufficient
money—that more money is what is
needed for general prosperity.
But the education of the last cam-
paign Ought to have made every man of
them understandclearly that" the coin-
age .of more legal tender silver dollars
will not increase the circulating medium
of the country, for the reason that the
history of the world shows clearly that
whenever a nation has attempted to
make use of two kinds of money, difler-
ing in intrinsic or commercial value, .
the result has always been that the bet-
ter kind of money disappeared from cir-
culation, leaving the poorer kind to oc-
cupy the field. If it is provided by law
that 412.5 grains of silver shall be
coined free without limit and .form a
legal tender dollar, and that one-six-
teenth of that weight of gold is also a
legal tender dollar, then if the specified
amount of silver is worth less than the
specified amount of gold, in the meas-
urement of gold, all gold money at
once disappears from circulation.
Immediately after the passage of such
a law this . country would lose about
$500,000,000 of gold from the channels
of trade. It would take several years,
running the mints at their fullest capac-
ity, to coin enough silver to make up
for this loss of gold money. In the
meantime there would be all the evils
of'a heavy contraction of the currency.
Mortgages and other debts would be
forced to payment, and the farmers
would find in the general tightness of
the money market the demand for their
preducts would decrease and prices fall
off.
There will be a great deal of the old
talk about the blessings of bimetallism
this year. Now, the fact is that the
United States is already the greatest
bimetallic country in the world except
France. That is to say, while maintain-
ing the gold standard of values, we use
as money in this country more silver
than is used in any other civilized coun-
try in the world except France.
The silver men do not want bimetal-
lism. Their scheme does not look to
that end. They demand a cheaper kind
'of money than gold standard money.
This they expect to secure by forcing
rthis country down to a silver basis, so
we shall be not a bimetallic nation, but
a monometallic nagion. using silver as
our only metallic money. This is the
condition of Mexico today, and it is
held up to us by the silver men as the
ideal situation—Sound Money.
Interest Lower Since 1896.
The Engineering Record publishes a
table showing the rates of interest at
’which various cities have borrowed
money this year and last year, the les-
son of which is that money is cheaper
and cheaper and that the capitalist gets
a small return for its use. Baltimore,
for example, got money in November,
1896, at 3.34 per cent, but in July,
1897, got it at 3.26 per cent. Brooklyn
and New York got loans this summer
slightly lower—at 3.21 and 3. 13 per
cent respectively—but all 'the other
eight cities mentioned paid more than
Baltimore. Milwaukee paid 4.29 per
cent in August, 1896, and 3.55 per cent
in August, 1897. Provided the lender
has assurance that he will get his
money back he nowadays parts with it
“dirt cheap, " one may say. The day of
safe 5 per cent investments is passing
away. Even 4 per cent is hard to get on
safe long term investments. —Baltimore

China and Legal Tender.
Before the “legal tender” trick was
introduced to give a forced currency to
fiat money gold and silver passed from
hand to hand at its bullion value. The.
Chinese still stick to that form of deal-
ing. All gold and silver coins '2 cur‘

worth when melted down. There are
still many things in finance and men

SHOOTING FLYINGFISH.
A Novel Sport Carried On In Southern .
' California‘fi'aters. \ ‘
The visitor tofthe island of Santa!
Catalina, or he who goes out on thei
launches from Long Beach-or San P9- 5
dro, is always entertained ,by the re- ‘
markable flights of flying-fish, which
in these waters attain a length of eigh- f
teen‘inches and a weight' of two,
pounds. Alarmed by the boat or '
steamer, they dash ‘out of the waterI
by a vigorousmovement of the screw- ;
like tail and dash away in headlong
flight, skimming over the waves like
birds, presenting so remarkable an. ap- ,
pearance that the tourist who has
never seen so extraordinary‘a. perform- '
ance takes them for birds. The flying- '
fish is not flying, but it has four very '
wing-like fins which serve it a similar
purpose; that is, it. hurls itself out of
the water by the aid of its tail, and
then using the four winglike fins as
parachutes, goes soaring away, cover—
ing a distance of an eighth of a'mile;
when the inertia fails, the'tail of the
fish drOps, and the moment it strikes
the water it begins a violent twisting,
which sends the fish into the air
again, and by repeating this the fish is
enabled to cover the long distance.
The wings or fins are. not flapped. the
only'motion being a tremulous one im-
parted to them when thg tail is twisted
in the water. As the boat glides along
these fish dart from the water and go
soaring away on either side, and it is
then that the sportsman, sitting in the
bow, has an opportunity for some novel
sport. '
The fish move like some quail, very
low, not more than two feet from the
surface, and are not the easy shots one
might imagine. They move rapidly
and appear to rise and fall over the
waves, and go sweeping away in grace-
ful curves. Sbmetimes four or five are
in the air at the same time, and the
good shot can bring them down to the
right and left. All that is needed to
carry out the idea of quail shooting
would be to have a dog, but there is
a sea dog that flushes this attractive
game, the agile tuna, a fierce creature
known on the Atlantic seabord as the-
horse mackerel. 'The. flying-fish is its
legitimate prey, and big schools come
sweeping in from the deep sea, driving
the schools of flying—fish before them,
chasing them into the air, six, eight,
ten feet, giving marvelous exhibitions
of lofty tumbling. At such times the
flying-fishes are crazed with terror,
and leavethe water by scores and hun-
dreds. 'Ihey fly into beats, out upon
the dry beaches. strike boatmen who
happen to be in the way of their head-
long flight, and present a most attrac-
tive appearance to those who have nev-
er seen a flock of ocean flyers in the
air with fish six or seven feet long pur-
suing iu a series of leaps or jumps,
Sometimes the tuna chases the flyer
along just below the surface, catching
it as it drops—a cloud of foam alone
telling the story.——From Santa Cata«

iNSECT LADIES’ MAID.
Ants Make Elaborate Toilets and Are As-
sisted by Their Companions.
We know well enough that ants are
the most. advanced of all the insect
world, that they can talk to one anoth-
er, and have regular laws and regula-
tions in their tiny colonies. But the
last discovery about them is, perhaps,
the most astonishing of all. A natur-
alist has been making observations on
their toilet, and has discovered that
each insect goes through a cleaning
precess as elaborate as that of a eat,
only not performed by herself, but by
another, who acts for the time as
lady's-maid.
Ants of the genus “atta” were the
subject of these observations. These,
he found, slept in relays for about three
hours. When they woke up they would
stretch their limbs just like warm-
blooded animals: even, under the mi-
croscope, he- could watch them yawn.
Then begins the toilet. The assistant
starts by washing the. face of her com-i
paniou. and goes on to the thorax and
legs. The attitude of the cleansed is
one of inte'use'Satisfaction, resembling
that. of a dog or eat when his head is
being scratched. She lies down with
all her limbs stretched loosely out:
she rolls over on her side. even her
back, a perfect picture of ease The
thus combed and sponged is res-fly en-
- .muu— .—.
Many Toilets Made Each Day and Only
Incompetent Girlsto Assist Her.
Strangely enough, the Queen of Italy
has no ladies of the bedchamber and of
the wardrobe, such as are to be found
at the British court, and is very much
at the mercy of slipshod. inexperienced
girls for assistance in hertoilet. Once
a servant is engaged for the royal pal-
ace she is never dismissed, and this,
perhaps. is the reason that Her Majes-
ty is so poorly served. Court etiquette
demands many elaborate toilets, being
made each day by the Queen, and it
is said that Her Majesty suffers much
from this regulation, combined with
the inefliciency of her maids.
No Fruit.
' In the Hawaiian Islands, where
pumpkins and other like plants have
been introduced. and where they have
no bees or other insects of that kind
to do all the flower fertilizing, it is
done by the natives. These plants
bearing no fruit, and when they finally
solved the mystery they found it neces-
sary to carry by hand the pollen from
one plant to the pistils of another.

Bicycle Riders.
There are freaks in bicycles just the
same as in human beings, and the in-
ventors bring them out every season.
In the main, these freak wheels are
designated to increase Speed—the
scorcher’s delight—and this is sought
to be accomplished, as a rule, by a.
combination of foot and hand-power.
The latest auxiliary hand-driver is, the .
product of a Denver inventor. The
handle-bar is formed in two sections, ‘
which are journaled on the top of the
steering stem. The bicycle has an
extra sprocket and bearing, fastened
to the head just above the fork. A
long chain connects the two sprock-
ets. The sections of. the handle-bar
move up and down, and a rod trans—
mits the motion to the sprocket. The
bicycle, in full operation, would make
an imitation flying machine, that.
would send almost any horse on_ a
runaway career. Some years ago, a
well known Jersey bicycle man con-
structed a machine on similar lines.
His bicycle created quite a sensation.
at a freehold meet. A novice, who had
broken his wheel, jumped on the freak
bicycle and won the mile race handily.
From far-away Wales comes the
story of a widow who is an enthusias—
tic wheelwoman. After losing her
husband, it seemed prOper for her to
give up riding for a time, but she
would not entertain that idea. at all.
So she devised a mourning costume
for the. bicycle. Her costume is
sombre black, with jaunty turban,
gloves, and leggings, all to match. The
handle-bars of her bicycle are tightly
wrapped with crape, and little stream-
ers of the same stuff hang down, much
in the fashion of wheelmen’s club
colors. Every bit of metal work is
coated with jet enamel, down to the
spokes and bell. To complete the ef-
fect she has had the wool of her little
dog dyed black, and takes him out.
with her for exercise When she rides.~
Mayor Harrison of Chicago recently.
drew this distinction between bicycling
and equestrianism: “When I go horse-
back riding," he Said, “the horse gets
the exercise. He does not exactly get
it all, but he gets the better part of
it. On the other hand, when I go bi-
cycle riding, all the exercise is mine.
I do all the work and have all the fun.
A man can feel that he is doing some-
thing for himself when he is riding a.
wheel, and there is a great deal of
satisfaction in that.” _
American tourists agree that the
English woman is the most ungraceful
rider in the world. She sits too far
back, has the handle bars to high,
and wears her skirts so long that they
draggle. Add to this that she rides a
clumsy and-heavy- English wheel, and
her appearance maybe imagined. It
is only fair to add that English women
return the compliment, and call Amer-
ican girl riders “utterly ridiculous.
It is now announced that the chain-
less bicycle will be the wheel for 1898,
and that the price will be $150.
doubt the manufacturers will my to
get that sum for their wheels, and no
one can blame them; but we prophesy
that the price will drop much more?
rapidly than it did in chain wheels,
It will require considerable argument
to prove that the bevel gear costs more
to make than the chain, and, as the-:-
latter now gives thorough satisfaction,
not many pe0ple will pay seventy-five
dollars extra for the sake of mere nov-.
elty.
A New Jersey justice of the peace!_
has ruled that riding a bicycle in New-
Jersey on Sunday is legal, provided
the cyclist is on his way to church, or
to perform an act of charity or of ne-
cessity. In all other cases he holds
that it is illegal. This decision will
last just long enough to get into a.
regular court, and then it will be set
aside so quickly that the justice will “
be astonished.
However welcome a woman may be,
she is certainly'out of place in a cen-
tury run. Even a. continuous trip of
fifty miles is much too long for a we-
man, unless she is exceptional.
Wheelmen are waking up to the fact
that “cycle paths" are only a make-
shift. What’s wanted is good roads of
generous width.

MISS GUlLFORD’S VOW OF JSILsncs:
ls‘aid she‘Wouldn’t Spank for Fifty Years,
and Now Sl)e_Can’t Thur.
The people in the southern part of.
Hancock county are deeply interested
in a peculiar malady which afflicts
Miss Experience Guilford, an. aged wo-
. man of that place,.who has not ut-
tered a word Or any audible sound for
fifty years.’ The original .reason .f01
Miss Gullford’s speechlessness was
anger because she c0uld not marry 1h:-
man of her choice. When she wa» "
year: old she. fell in'love with Wil‘i _
Simpson, the' village ‘schoolmasz’ ‘
They were to be married on June 3.
1847. One of MiSS'Guilford’s rejecti-Z
suitors. told tales about the. sch:~
masteryand Miss Guilford’s parez'
stopped the wedding. Miss Guilt-c. ‘
thereupon said:
“I swear [ will not-speak a. word
though I live for fifty years, unless l
marry this man.” '
She kept her pledge. Her parents
died, and she went to live with her
married brother. When he died she
,made her home withher sister, and af-
ter the sister’s death she went to a
camp in the woods and kept house for
a brother, with whom she is now liv-
ing. All‘this time she performed her
share of the household work and did
not show any regret for having made
the vow. When the fifty years of si-
lence expired she was visited by a
large number of relatives and friends,
who went to the camp for the purpose
of being present when she was at lib-
erty to speak. Soon after the mid-
day meal Miss Guilford dressed her-
self in the garments which she had
not worn for half a. century. At 2
o’clock she stood up before the people,
smiled and opened her mouth to speak;
but though she tried hard and got red
in the face in trying, she could not ut-
ter a sound. Her vocal muscles had
become atrophied from long disuse and
refused to work. . '
When Miss .Guilford found that she
could not speak, she sent to Bangor
for a physician and took to her bed.
The doctor gave no hope of recovery,
but suggested that she be sent to a
hospital, for treatment—New York

THACKERAY’S GALLANTRY.
An Unconventional but Kindly Act To-
ward an American.
Mrs. McLean, of'Brooklyn, N. Y.,
was a short. slight woman. and when
she reached the Crystal Palace on the
day of the opening the crowd com-
pletely hemmed her in. She could not
catch a glimpse of a single royalty or
celebrity. Tears of chagrin sprang" to
her eyes as she realized her disappoint-
ment and the price of it. A “distin-
guished looking Englishman,” as she
- afterward described him, who stood
beside her, grasped the situatiOn at a
glance, and saying “Permit me, mad-
am,” he closed his. hands around her-
waist and lifted her as be wopld' a
child above the crowd. holding'her
there as long as he could, and pointing
out the Queen, the Prince Consort and
the other royalties and celebrities. Af.
for he had set her down and rested him-
self, he raised her again, and then a
third time. When she thanked him,
he said simply: “I am always glad to
don favor for an American.”
' . All that summer she‘tried in vain to
identify her “distinguished English-
man,” but finally came home without
learning who he was. Years afterward
in Plymouth Church, when the lectur-
er of the evening entered with Henry
Ward Beecher, she turned to her hus-
band and exclaimed: “That’s my
Englishman!” It was Thackeray,
whom she met later and entertained
at her home, recalling the incident to
their mutual satisfaction. Who but

John Green Brady, Once d liomeicsc'Walf. ~
Rescued. from the Streets of New York.
, The brilliant .man, *-J0hn, Green
Brady at Indiana, who has been ap-
pointedGovernor of ,Alaska,:.has had >
an interesting and romantic career.
To the best or his knowledge he is a
native of New ‘York city. He never
knew his parents nor the name they
gave him, if any. He grew up a ver—
itable street arab in' the utmost DOV‘
erty. In' 1860. he Was sent to Indiana
with a car load of waifs as miserable
as himself. ,
The car‘ reached Tipton,
seat .thirty miles north. of. Indiana,
and a number of the youngsters were
committed to the care of residents.
Judge John Green, a prominent citi-
zen of the place, called for the “ugliest,
raggedest, andinost friendless” in the
lot. “Jack,” as he' was afterward
known, was, promptly presented; and,
at first, the Judge, appalled at so much
.misery in bulk, was inclined to go
back on his demand, ‘but finally took
the lad home to Mrs. Green. , She was
out of patience with her husband for
his action, .but the absolute destitution
of the boy appealedto her and she'
got down to the real boy by a process
of thorough cleaning. After the ex-
amination she thought she'might learn
to like him and Jack’s new life began.
He appreciated his home and the
kindness of his benefactors, and dili-
gently applied himself to study, prov—
ing himself capable and efficient. A
ecurse at the public-schools was fol-
lowed by a year at Waveland Academy
a well-known preparatory institution,
and that by four years at Harvard; He
had determined to be a preacher, and
after he had been graduated at Cam-
bridge he was sent by Judge Green to
England to pursue his theological
studies. Returning to-Tipton in. 1876,
the next year he went to Alaska as a -
missionary under the auspices of the
Presbyterian Church, and heihas since- _ . ,
_ His interest in the a
field was not confined to his mission- ‘
ary labors, and in 1881 he visited the
States, displaying specimens of ‘its
gold and silver ores, and telling mar-
vellous stories of its natural rescurces,
As a result of his talks there was a
large increase of the population of the
Territory, capitalists and prospectors
being attracted by his enthusiastic de-
scriptions. Mr. Brady contributed
largely to the reports of the census of
1890 respecting Alaskaand in the Har-'
rison Administration served as Com.
missioner of the Territory.

Outwittlng a Store Detective. i
The Philadelphia Record says a de-

that city is engaged in the mental pro—
,cess of kicking himself whenever he
jthinks of a certain transaction which
took place last '- week. At a time of
day when the store was crowded the
detective, who was keeping a sharp
lookout for. evil-doers, was approached
by a well-dressed, intelligent-looking
man, who informed him that he was
employed as detective in another'
store, and had followed a shoplifter
from his firm’s store to the present.
place, where they would find her at the
glove counter stealing gloves.
“Let her alone,” said the strange de-
tecti've, “and when she loads up I will ,9
follow her home, and we can then
make a big haul.” .
Consent was g-lven‘to this plan and
the shop—lifter stole $200 or $300 worth
of gloves upmolested. Then she went
out, followed by the strange detective.
That was the last ever seen of the
pair, and the store detective wonders
how on earth he was duped so easily.
