SILVER COIN.--tt IS recorded that
"Solomon made silver to be as stones in
Jerusalem" AS Jerusalem was rather
stony town we may reasonably inter
that silver was rather at discount in
the Hebrew capital. We are coming
very much to the same condition in this
country, though we certainly have no
Solomon amongst US. TO say that silver
was as stones in San Francisco, would
be no great boast; for that is a stoneless
town. But to say that silver were as
sand in Frisco, would mean something
affiuent. And SO it 10 IN that Pacific me-

The Emma Mine Sensation.

The testimony Of James +. Lyon be-
fore the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs shows the first streak of rich
ness that has been developed from the
"Emma Mine.o From his statements it
appears that it is possible for rich men
to be great seoundrels. Wealth may
have one attribute of charity inits being
able to cover multitude of sins; but it,
failed in concealing the true sinfulness
of the Emma Mine business. The sins
in that transaction we're too muititudin-
Gus to be covered either by wealth or
charity.
| Mr.. Lyon was one of the parties con-
cernsd in the original business Of the
Emma Mine, but was eventually sold
out, body, boots, and breeches, by his
own attorney, whom men CALI Senator
Stewart of Nevada. And, from Lyons
tes timony. 1t now appears that the mine
was considered "worked out mine"
before they put it's stock upon the Eng
| Ush market; and that Trenor W. Park,
the chiet manipulator OF the stock, de-
clared to Lyon, that he proposed TO sell
the mine for what has come out OF IT,
and not for what is In it."
The proceedings We're deliberately
planned and adroitly carried out on that
| basis. None but great names were to
| appear in the schema; and the person.

this he was to- have $4,000. His report

world.n The British agent ant

ssexhaasted mine."
The whole matter was loud sme1lin
affair from the beginning. We regre
that American credit was scandalousl.
misused BY the parties cognizant OF tn
fraud. We particularly regret that on
Minister, Gen. schenck. was induced t
lend his name to the concern. Grantin
that he did IT innocently, which we yel

and serious mistake in Judgment, i

RURAL NOTES.
Sheep i'm November.

The true way to be successful in
sheep breeding and feeding is to keep
none but the best breeding ami
mails, and to supply them with nutri-
tious food at all times. Stufing at one
time and starving at another does not
pay. A field of rye, sown in August,
or early in September, will furnish an
excellent pasture for sheep in the late
fall and early winter months, and also
early in spring if necessary. Sheep are
fond Of an outdoor life, and it is not
advisable to confne them to sheds, I'M
less In very severe weather. At other
times they should have the choice of
going in or staying out at pleasure, bat
the racks or feeding boxes should be
kept under cover. Sheep in sheds
should have plenty of room, and they
should be graded SO that the small and
weak shall not be driven from their
food by the large and strong, Root
crops should be grown for feeding cat
tie and sheep in winter.

And seventy-years betwixt them glide
A bubbling fount, an ebbing tide.

The Birth of the FlV.

Sir John Lubbock, in recent paper
in Nature, London, describes the birth
of a Mayhy from full grown larva,
which, having observed it to be in a
glistening condition, he caught and put
under the microscope in drop of wa.
ter. \ cry few minutes had elapsed
when he had the satisfaction of seeing
tne thorax open along the middle of
the back; the two sides turned over;
the insect literally walked out of itself,
and IN an instant flew up to the win
dow. Several times he has witnessed
this wonderful metamorphosis, and it
is extraordinary how rapidly it takes
place. From the moment when the
skin first cracks, not ten seconds are
over before the insect has flown away.
Like the ephemera, dragon-hies, at first
dull, brown, sluggish and ugly Larvae
with six legs, are developed in water.
Not SO the ant lion, which passes its
early days in dry sand.

Care i'm Feeding and StabIing.

It paws to feed well, and with discre-
ton, the team of all work, to give them
careful grooming and see that their
comfort is secured in the most gener-
GUS manner 1t pays IN the labor they
perform as a result Of the attention,
and In their health and longevity.
The writer would not advocate the in
diligence and pampering Of horses, SO
as to unfit them for the best of service,
but the care which gives them strength
and endurance for the regular and In
time of emergency the extra work that
may be required of them. There may
exist reserved power in a horse as truly
as in a man. The poor, half-kept
team, in case of q great strain when
endurance and continuous strength to
the full amount Of their ability is
brought into service quickly give out.
Tn such places it is not alone good
breeding that tells, but good care.
Stock of all sort should have warm
shelter, not only from the coolest
weather In winter, but from the search
ing fall winds. The same weather that
is disagreeable for man is pad for AMI

There is a good deal in the manner

There is good deal in the manner
of feeding, also. To those who man.
age during the first feeding this fall to
cloy the animals, we predict most
unsatisfactory condition of stock.
There is 81 particular danger of this in
the management Of young stock, colts,
calves and lambs that have been so fed
that they begin to turn up their noses
at the mess given them, are in q most
unfortunate condition to enter the win
ter. The one thing needful with such
creatures is a good appetite. Then if
this is judiciously appeased at regular
intervals, there is little danger of "runts
or stunts" It is not q good plan to
feed old and young stock together
There is generally no spirit of generos-
lty among animals toward each other,
and the young and weak usually es-
cape the good bites, are showed around
and hooked about. No wonder they
come out in the spring poor. Neatness
is absolutely necessary among sheep to
insure their good health and proper de-
velopment. Last winter this paper de-
scribed a system of stabling cattle by
which proper regard for neatness was
preserved, and the manure remained
beneath the cattle. Since then we have
noticed the same method in vogue with
horses, and do not indorse it in the
least. The manure beneath a herd of
cattle tramped down firmly scarcely
ferments at all, and there is neither
heat nor odor. In the horse stable the
case is very different. The manure
here will heat to considerable extent
under the best of management, which
produces vile odors, and is injurious to
the animals health, particularly to the
health Of the feet and legs. Horse
stables should be kept clean by the re-
moval of the manure and foul odors
absorbed by the occasional use of dis
infectants, like lime or plaster
Stock of all kinds require plenty of
exercise, and to this end it is an admir-
able I Ian to have a good place for them
to run, and in all mild days light feed
out of doors, when they are free to
move about during the middle Of the
day. is a capital plan.
The exercise of colts and steers is best
managed by having it contribute to
some purpose, and it should be under
the control of a master who is looking
in their future usefulness.
There is nothing more attractive up
on well managed farm than the ar
rangement and care of stock during
the winter months, and nothing that ex-
hibits the skill Of master hand to
greater advantage.-DetroH Post.

RHEUMATISM is more common and
distressing, especially in this country
than almost any other disease; and, at
the same time, it may be asserted that
it is as little understood and as unsuc-
cesssully treated. Physicians, in many
cases, are unable to cure it, even in
their own person; yet such are the un-
paralleled virtues of the celebrated
Merchants Gargling Oil, that the most
obstinate cases at once yield to it.

Pampas, or Upland Rice-A New Cereal.
Among the novelties exhibited in Agri-
cultural Hall, is a new cereal, weighing 6o
pounds to the bushel, as easily grown as
corn, and more productive, excellent Tor
table use, for stock and fowls. 1t is of
South American origin, but has been accli-
mated in the state of Michigan since 1917,
where it produced from rs to $50 bushels an
acre. and will ripen where cora will rlpen.
Its stalk and leaves resemble corn, 1t Is
planted three or four feet apart six to eight
kernels in hill, grows seven or eight 1eet
high, the kernels being in cluster, seven
or eight inches lone, at the end of the stalk,
which curls over and hangs down like the
top Of seed onion. The kernel is little
larger and rounder than rice, which it
much resembles. 1t appears to be very
desirable addition to the cereals OF the
North, and it is to be sold only in small
packages, with cut Of grain on each pack
age, and sent by mail, to prevent i'm position.
It is called
