WHISTLING MEN ARE KIND TO
ANIMALS.

An old farmer once said TO US that he
would not have a hired man on his farm
who did not habitually whistle. He Gl-
ways hired whistlers. He said he never
knew a whistling aborer to find fault
with his food. his bed, or complain of
any little extra work he was asked to
perform. Such man was generally
kind to children and TO animals in his
care. He would whistle chilled lamb
into warmth and lite, and would bring
in his hat full Of eggs from the barn
without breaking one of them. He also
found such man more careful about
closing gates, putting up bars. and see
ing that the nuts on his plough are all
properly frightened before he took it into
the field. He never knew 4 whistlng
hired man t. kick or beat a cow, or to
drive her on n run into n stable. He
had noticed that the sheep he fed in the
yard and shed gathered around him as
he whistled, without fear. And ne new
er had employed a whistler who was not
thoughtful and economical.

The most beautiful and expensive dres-
ses seen upon the stage this season have
been worn by Rose Eytinge in"Led
Astray,' and are provided, not by the
arteste, but by the managers Of the Union
Square Theatre. The more elaborate ones
consist of silver-gray silk and royal purple
hat 70 match--the costume trimmed with
gold and mother-of-pearl ornaments; the
nat with gray feathers and n brilliant
clasp Of gold and mother-of- pearl.
A dinner dress of lemon -colored silk.

and oruamented with crimson and pale
tea roses;a garland Of these surrounds
the skirt. The penitential costume Is OF
| black velvet, square out, and trimmed
with let. These dresses are made OF the
richest materials, and could not have cost
less than from Gfteen hundred to two
thousand dollars For an artist to supply
them herself. unless she received Titlen' S
| or Nelson's salary, would be impossib BILE.

Subjects for Workingmen's Study.

There nre many thousand workingmen
who, to-day, vividly recall the times of
hfteen years ago, when wages were low
er than they are now, but when their
purcha ing power was much greater. A
corr pondent of the New York World
has taken the trouble to compile a series
OF tables, in which the average earnings
Of five different trades in the city of New
York in 1869 and 1874 are given, and
compared in their purchasing power in
the years to which they respectively be-
long. These tables are exceedingly in
structive. and deserve the closest peru
sal by ne working classes. They con-
clusively demonstrate the fact that al
though receiving to-day q much larger
percentage of wages. they are unable to
purcha with them anything like the
amount of the necessaries of life which
the smaller wages of fifteen years ago
would at that time have procured for
them. After having given them the
study they decerve. we would ike to

A TALK ABOUT GREENBACKS.

There are few simple facts about the
''greenbaek" which cannot be denied,
but which are often overlooked. We
group here some of these facts-the A,
b, g Of the financial question;
a ''greenback" contains the follow
ing promise: ''The United States will
pay the bearer-doIIars." What does
this promise of the national government
mean! ihe only word in the sentence
about which there can be any question
is the last. What is "dOllarl' The
answer is not difficult, for the dollar"
existed before the greenback, and will
exist long after this sort of promise to-
pay has been retired. Whatever, there
fore, constituted n dollar before the
greenbaek law was passed, is the guam
tity of value promised to be paid in re-
demption OF the greenbaek The laws
of the United States define the word
dollar" 1t means, according to them,
twenty-three and One-third grains of
gold, made into coin and stamped aft
the Mint Of the United States, or an
equivalent value Of silver, treated in the
same way. This dollar is recognized the
world ever. 1t passes anywhere in
ChFistendOm mt its face valae. A bit of
Of green paper, on the other hand,
though stamped thousand times over
with the gooFd dollar" does not be-
come the thing. 1t merely represents
the thing, and does this so imperfeetly
that it is wortiI-nOt n dollar, not 100
cents, hut n varying number of cents
60, 20, so, or 90, according to certain
circumstances and the confidence felt in
its redemption in actual dollars within n
reasonable time. 1t is now worth about
Sc to 81 cents. 1t has been worth only
IS, and not long after it jumped to so
cents, and then tumbled down to 60,
then up, next down, and so on. IL there
the initiation programme were to be fully
carried ont, it would he worth 10 cents,
or ;, or 0 cents, ike the French assig-
mats, the rebel gray-backs, and other
shinplaster scrip. It is not strange, per
haps that the American people have for
gotten what dollar" is, since there
has not been a real dollar seen in gener-
al circulation east of the Rocky Noun
tains since 1861. Persons who wish to
refresh their memory can do so by tax
ing trip to Nevada or California, where
they will fiud real dollars circulating, and
Federal scrip, called ''greenbaeks,"
bought and sold like any other sort of
dubious paper.
Since ''dollar" means n minted coin of
23 and 13 grains of gold, the promise
printed on every greenbaek means that
the United States will pay the be ,rer
thereof as many gold dollars of 90 and ! 3
grains weight each rs the paper oalis for.
The demonstration can lie thrown into
the form ola sylIogssm. Major premise;
A dolIa. Il 23 and Is grains of gold,
made into coin and stamped at the
mint Of the United States; MINOR pre-
mise: \ greenbaek is a promise to pay
so many dOllarsS conclusion: therefore,
a greeBback is a promise to pay SO many
minted coins containing 23 and l 9
grains Of gold each. Chicago 7TiJHne
