IMPORTANT FACTS AND FIGURES.

The subjoined statements, showing in va
riety of forms, the rapid increase arising from
interest (rent or usury being very nearly sy-
nonymous terms) charged for the use Of &C.
cumulated wealth-wbich we take from lee.
ture delivered some time ago in Association
Hall, New York, by Wallace P. Groom, on
the "Currency Needs of Commerce"--con.
tain much "food for thought" for all classes,
old or young, man or woman, employer or
employed for interest affects the price of
every commodity in the most vital manner.
Many carelessly infer that the increase of
money at six per cent. is just t.oice as rapid as
at three per cent. but 70 reality the increase
is vastly more rapid than this. In one hun
dred years, at six per cent, the increase on
any given sum is about eighteen times as much
as at three per cent.
If one dollar be invested and the interest
added to the principal annually, at the rates
named, we shall have the following result as
the accumulation of one hundred years:

There are probably few, however familiar
with the subject of the rapid increase of capi:
tai put at interest, who would not be startled
at the statement that the cost of the outfit Of
Christopher Columbus, in his first voyage OF
discovery, put at interest at six per cent,
would, by this time, have amounted to more
than the entire money value Of this continent,
together ,oith the accumulations from the indus
try of all who have Hved upon it. If any doubt
this, let them reckon the amount, estimating
the entire outfit to have cost only the small
sum of five thousand dollars, and remember
ing that money doubles, at six per cent, in
little less than twelve years-or accurately, IN
eleven years, ten months and twenty one days.
Allowing it to double every twelve years, this
FIVE thousand dollars at interest at six per
cent. since 1892, it will be found, would have
amounted to $l7 1885, 200, 100000; which, es-
timatiDg the population of the entire CONT
nent of America, (North and South) to be
eighty.fve millions, or seventeen million fam.
lilies (averaging five members each), would
give more than a million dollars as the pos
session of every one Of these. The interest
upon million dollars at six per cent. is sixty

princely annual income of each of these sew
enteen million families from the sccumula'
tions up to this time, upon 80 small sum as
that named for the outfit of the discoverer.
In Hildreth's "History Of the United
States" it is stated that Manhattan Island -
afterward called New Amsterdam, now the
City of New York-was bought by the Dutch
from the Indians, for sixty guilders, or twen'
ty-four dollars 1924, and this only about two
hundred and fifty years ago. And yet, if the
purchasers could have securely placed that
S24 where it would have added to the princi.
pal annually, interest at the rate of 7 per
cent, the accumulation would exceed the
present market value of all the real estate of
the city and county of New York.
Again, if a man, at the age of twenty-five,
should commence business with capital of
one hundred thousand dollars, and could, by
any possibility, add thereto interest at our
legal rate of I per cent. annually, the result
would be (in round numbers) as follows:

I, Section 26, of the Constitution, we dissent
from and protest against the passage of "a
joint resolution providing mode of ascer.
tanning the debt of the State, and of liquida-
ting and settling the same"
l. Because in our opinion every bona fde
holder, for value, of bond or coupon of the
consolidated debt of the State, is entitled to
be paid according to the terms of the con-
tract set forth in the bonds and coupons afore-
said whereas, under the said joint resolution,
a part of the said consolidated debt is de-
clared to be valid, and is ordered to be paid,
whilst another part thereof is declared to be
of doubtful validity, and is referred to le-
gal tribunal without reference, in either case,
to the honesty and bona fdes of the holders
thereof.
g. Because, among those declared to be of
doubtful validity, there are number of bonds
aud coupons, which are not only in the hands
of bona fde holders but which were issued in
exchange for old bonds and stocks Of indispu.
table validity, as appears from the records of
the State treasurer, prior to 1868; and it
pears to US unjust to refer these bonds and
coupons to the courts, whilst the other bonds
and coupons, having no better vouchers, are
to be paid without any question.
3. Because, ia our opinion, the State is-in
honor bound to recognize the right of limo.
cent holders of these bonds and coupons, who
have purchased the same, trusting to the pledg-
es made in behalf of the State, in the hour Of
her dire extremity and peril.
4. Because, if any part of the consolidated
debt is to be referred to the courts, it is in our
opinion, an unnecessary expense to the people
of the State to create special tribunal for
the decision Of questions which can be decided
in the courts as now constituted, especially
when grave doubts must arise as to the pow
ers of the General Assembly to establish such
tribunal, in view Of the provisions of Ar
ticle w, Section /, Of the Constitution.
5. Because in our opinion, it is inconsistent
with due regard to the faith and credit of
the State to repudiate one-half of the floating
Indebtedness, after defence Of the interest of
the State, by able and distinguished counsel,
and after the amount of each claim, and the
validity thereof, shall have been determined
in a special tribunal of our own creation.
And we respectfully request that the fore.
going reasons be spread upon the Journal of
this House. S. DIBBLE,

THE MYSTERY OF MAKING LOAF BREAD.
ar ia cd

Loaf bread, once SAID an experienced
,house-keeper to us, "interferes with the saliva
ton of more house.keepers than any other one
thing in the world" This was probably an
extravagant statement, yet to the country
housewife who cannot turn to convenient ba-
kerry, the duty of bread-making is too often
heavy cross-a sort of hit or miss experiment.
Heavy, sour bread is far more general than
the opposite, and this is trying to both the d.
gestions and to the tempers of the family who
eatit Yet there is no reason for this. There
is philosophy of bread-making, as of every.
thing else, and certain causes accomplish cer-
tain results. Therefore, we are glad to be
able to give recipe from a practical house.
keeper whose bread never fails: To make
two quarts of bread or roll, take four or five
nice, large Irish potatoes, peel and cut them
up, and put them to boil in just enough water
to cover them. When done, mash smooth in
the same water, and when cool, not cold, add a
half teacupful of yeast, or ifyou use compress
ed yeast, the sixth part of cake dissolved in
tepid water, dessert spoonful of sugar, a lit
tie salt, tablespoonful of lard, and pint of
-four. Mix together lightly. This should be
very soft and quite sticky. Set by in cover
ed vessel in warm place to rise. In two or
three hours, it will be risen, and should look
almost like yeast, full of bubbles. Now work
in the rest Of your two quarts of -four, and, if
necessary, add little cold water. The dough
should be rather soft, and need not be knead-
ed more than half an hour Set to rise in
moderately warm place for four hours, or
thereabouts. 1t can be baked now if wanted
at once but if not, take spoon and push the
dough down from the top and sides of the YES
sci containing it, and let it rise again. The
oftener the bread rises, the lighter it will be
three times is, however, sufficient. After it
rises the last time, takeit out of the vessel and
knead it with your hands until it is smooth.
If too soft, add little more flour. For rolls,
roll out and cut as if for biscuit. Ifyou pre-
fer doubled rolls, give each touch with the
rolling-pin to make it oblong, and then double
it over. The baking pan must be creased, and
the rolls must not touch each other. Set down
to rise-this will take half or three.quarters
of an hour. Then put in the oven and bake
as you would biscuit. Unless the oven is hot
the rolls will spread and the crust be hard.

Observation-Disclosures child, as soon as
he can speak, to nsrrate his little experiences,
his chapter of accidents, his griefs, his fears,
his hopes to communicate what he has no.
ticed in the world without, and what he feels
struggling in the world within. Anxious to
have something to narrate, he will be induced
to give attention to objects around him, and
what is passing in the sphere of his observa.
ton, and to observe and note events will be-
come one of bis first pleasures; and this is
the groundwork of the thoughtful character.

WHAT TO TEACH THE BoYs.-A philoso-
pher has said that true education for boys is
to "teach them what they ought to know
when they become men," ....
What is it they ought to know, then
First.-To be true-to be genuine? No
education is worth anything that does not in
clude this. A man had better not know how
to read-he had better never learn letter in
the alphabet, and be true and genuine in his
intention and action, rather than, being learn
ed in all sciences and in all languages, to be
at the same time false in heart and counter
felt in life. Above all things, teach the boys
that truth is more than riches, more than
culture, more than any earthly power or po-
sition. .. .......
Second.-To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and in body. An i'm
pure man, young or old, poisoning the society
where he moves, with smutty stories and i'm
pure examples, is moral ulcer, a plague
spot, leper who ought to be treated as were
the lepers of old, who were banished from
society and compelled to cry unclean, as a
warning to save others from the pestilence.
Third.-To be unselGsh. To care for the
feelings and comfort of others. To be po-
lite. To be just in all dealings with others.
To be generous, noble and manly. This will
include genuine reverence for the aged and
things sacred.
Fourth.-To be selfreliant, and self-help-
full, even from early childhood. To be in
dustrious always, and selfsupporting at the
earliest proper age Teach them that all
honest work is honorable, and that an idle,
useless life of dependence on others is dis
graceful.
When boy has learned these four things
when he has made these ideas part of his
being-however young he may be, however
poor, or however rich, he has learned some of
the most important things he oug hit to know
when be becomes man. With these four
properly mastered, 1t will be easy to find all
the rest.-Home Arts.
A CURIOUS CUsToM.-It was the custom
in Babylon, five hundred years before the
Christian era, to have an annual auction of
the unmarried ladies. In every year, on a
certain stated day, each district assembled all
its virgins of manageable age. The most
beautiful we're put up first, and the man who
paid the most gained possession of her. The
second in personal charms followed her, and
so on, that the bidders might crafty them
selves with handsome wives, according to the
length of their purses There may yet re-
main in Babylon some for whom no money
was offered, but the provident Babylonians
managed that. When all the comely ones
are sold, the crier orders the most deformed
one to stand up, and after demanding who
will marry her for small sum, she is ad-
judged to him who is satisfied with the least;
and in this manner the money raised from the
sale of the handsome, serves as portion for
those who are either of disagreeable looks, or
that have any other imperfection,

Bismarck's evident intention to use the re-
fusal of the National Liberals to support his
a1ti-SOcialistic Dill, followed by the attempted
asSassinatiOnS of the Emperor, as weapon
against that party at the coming elections, has
caused the Liberals to issue clever NANTES
to, in which it is declared that the party will
support all proposals for the protection of
order which do not imperil the permanan t
guarantees of liberty. The danger suggested
by the manifesto, to wit: that the repressive
measures aimed by the government at the So
ciallStS viii tend to destroy, generally. the
freedom of the press and individual liberty in
Germany, is not a fanciful one. 1t seems like

much reputation as issuers of proclamationS.

one of independence. Assurance is given Of

The annual raid on stray dogs is now in full
operation, and life has become burden to
the canine race. These dog wars have the
good result, incidentally. of removing pro-
spectiye sources OF hydrOphObia, by eXter-
minating homeless, OwnerleSs and worthless
ours The raids would, however, be just as
as effective in this way, if made at any other
time of the year, as it is well established that
cases of hydrOphObia are not more frequent in
summer than in any other season. An objec-
ton to the dog catching system is that it fire.
quently leads to theft II also causes great
annoyance TO owners who value their dogs,
imposing upon them the necessity of con-
slant watchfulneSs over their pets, lest they be
led astray by an enticing small boy and be
bounced upon by the dog catcher. 1t may be
truly said, however. that if some means were
not provided for Kidding the city Of superfiu-
Gus dogs, its streets would soon be as much in.
Tested by ours as those of ConstantinOple.

1t Is hardly to be supposed that the House
would have adjourned without providing, even
by the necessary twO-thirds vote, for the pay
ment of the Halifax award, but there is no
telling what might have happened in the rush
and pressure at the close of the session; so it
is perhaps fortunate for the good fame of the
nation that the provision was attached by the
Senate to the Sundry Civil appropriation bill
and, its passage requiring only ma ority vote,
thus placed beyond reasonable doubt The
nation is not so nearly bankrupt that it can
not pay what a tribunal, which it has shared
in making, decides that it owes. If we believe
that no adequate equivalent has been or will
be received for our money We may consider
the five and half millions as sacrifice
offered up on the affairs of arbitra ion.
