A MISTAKE.

WE are glad to see the press at last
getting through their heads that silver is
not demonetized, and that it is only a
question as to whether it shall be coin
ed. This we have tried to impress from
the beginning, and all that was needed
was to read the law. The benefit of this
fact is that it does away at once with the
argument that it ia bad faith to pay the
creditor in what has not been money
since 1873. Silver has been money all
the time, and the dollar full legal ten
der-but the minis have simply been
forbidden to make them.
We find the foregoing item in the
Kansas City Journal of Commerce of a
recent date, and we have also seen SINH
lar statements in other papers, but they
are mistakes. 1t is true that the act of
Congress of 1873 did not demonetize the
old silver dollar, but in 1874, when the
revision of the United States statutes
was acted upon, the following clause was
adopted with the rest:
Sec 1856, The silver coins of the Uni
eCu Stotcs Sudil NC u icSdi tcuucI dt tuclI
nominal value for any amount not ex-
ceeding five dollars in ary one payment.
The adoption of this section by Con-
gress, of course, makes it law. and effect
ually demonetizes the dollar with the
rest of the silver coins. These revised
statutes were adopted in bulk, Congress
supposing them merely what they pur-
ported to be, revision of laws already
in force. 1t is not believed that Con-
gress supposed that any changes had
been made, and it is probable that if the
question is ever brought before the Su-
preme Court. that the court will hold
such change improperly made, and the
section referred to null and void. But
that court has not yet passed upon the
question, and until it does, the statutes
are law as they stand, and the silver dol
lar is demonetized.

SHUT YOUR MoUTH.-Catlin taught
the world the importance of shuttiI 6
the mouth and breathing through the
nose. 1t would seem that his little book
entitled "Shut your Mouth" is bearing
fruit in Germany, where new thoughts
receive more attention from physicians
than anywhere else in the world. Res
piratiun by the mouth is easier than by
the nose, but is not so safe. The nose to
a certain extent, fits the air for entering
the lungs. The sense of smell warns US
against breathing an air loaded with poi
sonous vapors. The moisture of the ma
sal passages to some extent saturates the
air and makes it less irritating to the
throat and larynx. The mucus of the
nasal passage and the hairs catch &he
dust before it goes far enough to harm.
On the other hand, breathing through
the mouth dries the throat, and in chill
dren may cause false Group, and catarrh,
