ACCORDING to statistics the stand
ard of values is at present fixed by
the population of the world as fol-
lows; Gold, 1870, $50, 900; silver, &c.,
100000; gold and silver, l32, 100000.
1t will be seen from this that the
incubation under silver exclusively
is nearly FIVE times that under gold
exclusively, while if those nations
that have the double standard be
added, the gold standard countries
are but little more than seventh Of
those of the whole world. And it so
happens that most of the nations with
which we hope to trade possess the
silver standard. Such Is the case
with China, India and most OF the
Southern and Central American
States, and Mexico. 1t can be been
seen therefore that the losses, etc.,
predicted by the single gold standard
champions have existence only in the
imagination, and that on the contrary
the effort to bring about the universal
adoption OF their system would be
productive of the widest possible
distress.

IGNORING THE FACTS.

The advocates of an exclusive gold
standard persistly ignore two essential
facts, says the San Francisco Post
They assume that silver coin, being
now five per cent. below the gold
standard, would continue to remain
SO if the former were fully remone-
tized. The two controlling facts are
m that the silver coin pow in circula-
tion Exclusive ofthe trade dollar does
not pro rate with the old silver dol
lar of 4121a grains surreptitiously
destroyed, and never were intended
to be anything more than tokens or
small change. (2) That the depreci-
alton in silver is a consequence OF
such surIeptitious decentralization,
which would disappear with re-
moyal of the cause that produced it.
The value of silver largely depends
on the degree to which it is used as
coin; hence it is, that to first demone-
tie it and then assign as Il reason
for refusing to restore it to its pre-
vious position the results of such de-
monetization is to knock silver down
and then kick it for falling, But
there are none so blind as those who
will not see. Gold spectators are
persistent in illusions.

Gravity, Specific and Otherwise.

No ADMISSION fee is charged to visi-
tors to the bonanza mills, the only req
uisite being a permit from the Superin-
tentendent; but lady who visited the
California pan-mill last Sunday paid
twenty dollars for the privilege, and
was taught a lesson in natural philoso-
ply, in this wise: Mr.. Long, the FORE
man, was showing three ladies and a
gentleman through the mill, and kind
ly explaining the functions of the va
rious settlers, pans, and so forth. The
quicksilver bowls standing near the
amalgamating pans attracted the at
tention of the visitors, and they in
quired what use the odd-looking con-
Germs were put to. He explained their
use, but the ladies did not seem to
catch the sense of his remarks very
readily. They seemed quite puzzled.
Mr.. Long repeated his explanation, but
the ladies manifested more surprise
than ever. In order to make himself
understood, Mr.. Long then gave a prac-
tical demonstration of the working of
the bowls, by pulling up the stopper
which checks the inflow of the beauti-
full metal from the pipe cOnnecting with
the supply tank. The bowl Immediate
ly filled with quicksilver, the surface
looking clean and bright. The
party could not resist the temptation
OF dipping their fingers in the metal.
They withdrew them as clean as when
they put them in. This surprised them.
Mr.. Long threw bunch of keys in the
bowl. They f1oated. This was pleas
ant experiment. A gentleman with the
party then threw pocket-knife in the
bowl. It, also, hoatsd. The ladies

The essential dignity and independ-

The essential dignity and independ-
ence of the calling-more characteristic
of il, perhaps, two or three generations
back than at the present time-should
be recalled and re-established. Farm
ing is to be the best business in this
country for the next twenty years, judg-
ing from the existing situation and the
outlook from it. The farming class,
therefore. should become more and
more an educated and self-respecting
body. 1t is in this line that the agricul-
tural colleges and practical scientific
schools can be useful-not in making
farmers of men, but in making men of
farmers. And when they drop their pre-
tensions in the former direction, and
seek to fit young men for their life-work
by affOrding them means of mental dis
cipline, and imparting knowledge that
will minister unto their wisdom and
efficiency as men and their intelligence
and rank as citizens just as Yale and
Harvard fit men TO become lawyers or
clergymen-they will at least deserve a
hearty support.
Don't make the boys mere drudges,
therefore. Mingle play with their
work. Remember that they have heads
as we'll as hands. Entrust them early
with responsibility, and reward their
labors generously. Many a farmer
makes of his boy a hoeing and fodder
ing and choring machine-encourages
him to raise colts and calves only to see
the horses and COWS sold away from
him-and then wonders why he leaves
" the dear old farmr' Some men never
learn that there is good deal of hui
man nature in a boy, until it is too tale.
But the recognition of this fact is one
secret of keeping them on the farm

were delighted. Mr.. Colby, the Chief
Engineer of the party, having just been
relieved. came along. He threw four
bit piece in. 1t floated, of course, and
he took it out and rubbed it dry. The
quicksilver having absorbed all the i'm
Purities on the coin, it looked bright as
FURNISHED gold, One of the ladies said
it was beautiful, and another took a
ty-dollar gold piece out of her
pocket-book and threw it in. Mr.. Long
and MIR: Colby saw the movement, but
said nothing. The specific gravity of
gold as compared with quicksilver be-
ing as seventeen is to fourteen, the coin
sank out of sight, to the utter dismay
OF the ladies and the great mortifica-
ton OF the owner of the twenty dollars.
This feeling did not last long, how
ever, as MI. Long assured them that in
a day or two he could probably restore
the lost money in the form of amalgam,
as he would have to use the quicksilver
to work the next charge put in the pans.

ROASTED PRAIRIE CHICKENs.-When
the fowls are thoroughly clean and we'll
dried, stuff them with mashed potato
seasoned to taste with pepper, salt,
butter and chopped onion. Put slice
of salt pork on each bird and haste
often with butter and water. When al
most done sprinkle with salt, dredge
lightly with flour and haste with melted
butter. They should be brown and
crisp outside but rare and juicy when
cut. Serve sliced lemon and currant
jelly with them.
FARMERS and planters, as rule, en-
joy remarkable good health, and are
free from the ills that beset those who
lead a shiftless or inactive life. They
represent the bone and sinew of the
land, and reap in a measure Just re-
ward for their industry, thrift and COM
mendable habits of life. There are
thousands of this class, however, who
from excessive Overwork, and total
disregard of Natures laws, become
broken down prematurely and suffer
from nervous and general debility and
kindred infirmities. Those who are
engaged in agricultural pursuits have
the advantage of vocation with a view
to longevity, and with pure air and
sunshine, and due regard for the
laws of health, there is no reason why
those who are SO favorably situated
should not in the maximum of cases at

SIGNS OF A PROSPEROUS FAR MER.-
When you see barn larger than his
house, it shows that he will have large
profits and small Affections. When YOU
see him driving his work, instead of
his work driving him, it shows that he
will never be driven from good resolu-
tons, and that he will certainly work
his way to prosperity. When you al
ways see in his woodhouse a sufficiency
for three months or more, it shows that
he will be more than a ninety days
wonder in farming operations, and that
he is not sleeping in his house after a
drunken frolic. When his sled is
housed in summer, and his farming
implements covered both winter and
summer, it plainly shows that he will
have good house over his head in the
summer of his early life and the winter
Of old age. When his cattle are prop
crly shielded and fed in winter, it
evinces that he is acting according to
Scripture, which says that "a merciful
man is merciful to his beast" When
he is seen subscribing for paper and
paying in advance. it shows that he is
speaking like a book respecting the last
Improvements in agriculture, and that
he never gets his walking papers to the
land of poverty.-Erchange.
