First Look in a Mirror.

The effect which the sudden seeing of
themselves as others see them had upon
several Siamese women is narrated by a
lady:
A few weeks ago a company of Siamese
women came to see and to look at my
house. They consider it great treat if
| invite them through my rooms, and let
them look at my bed, my table, my
chairs, my pictures and knicknacks, and
especially if they can get look at them
selves in the mirror on my bureau.
One or two of those who came had
been before, and they were telling of how
they looked in the glass, till the others
were all anxious to see too, so they
gathered in a crowd and stood before the
mirror.
One quick look, and then surprised,
startled cry, and some of them hid thier
faces, others jumped away, and some
looked about to see who was really there.
They had never seen themselves before
and did not know how miserably they
looked, with their black teeth and naked
bodies. They drew their scarfs over their
brrasis and tried to hide from the sight
of themselves.
One turned and said to me: "We are
very hateful-looking; don't you think
SOP
I did not tell them l always thought
50, but l said:
Now, since you know how you look,
is it any wonder that we always tell you
to wear more clothes, and to quit chew
ing betel?
Some of them would not be induced to
look the second time, while Others stood
and looked.

Mrs. JoIlnson's Wood -Chopping.
Kingston IN. W Freeman.l


Mrs. Julia johnson, the wife of Peter
johnson, who resides in the town of
Rochester, had an experience in the way
of splitting wood, the other day, that
will throw in the shade the saddest tale
the "Danbury News Man" ever wrote.
This lady went on the wood-pile in Or
der to split some wood to brighten up
the fire, and took with her sharp axe
to accomplish the purpose. After select
ing proper piece of wood, she raised
the axe and struck at the wood several
times without hitting it, and naturally
being a little vexed at the result, launched
out a powerful blow, which sent the
axe clear through the stick, but did not
split it,in two. Thinking she could ca
silly part it with her hand, she inserted
her fingers in the crack and with all her
strength tried to spread it apart. Out
dropped the axe, when the stick came
together with snap, and though she
managed to pull out the fingers OF one
hand by scraping them some, those OF
the other were fastened in a grip so
strong that she could not free them.
After struggling while, she picked up
the axe with the free hand and tried to
strike the piece of wood so as to split it
through. Unluckily the blow miscarried,
and the keen edge of the axe, coming
in contact with one Of her fingers, cut ii
completely off. The poor woman finally
went to neighbor's house, her hand
fastened in the stick as with wise, the
blood streaming from her finger, when
by the lid of one or two people she was
released.

Bees and Honey.

A calculation by Mr.. Andrew Wilson
in regard to the amount of work per-
formed by bees in collecting honey, re-
suits as follows:
He finds that 125 heads of clover yield
approximately one gram of sugar (about
15l grains) and that 1875, 900 heads yield
one kilogram az pounds). Now, as each
head of clover contains about so forets,
it follows that the bees must suck 1000
600 distinct forets in order to obtain two
and one-ffth pounds of sugar. And as
honey may be said to contain roughly ~
per cent of sugar, we have one kilogram
equivalent to 100000 visits for one
pound of honey.

Money Was the Theme.

They were discussing the venerable
theme Of money and happiness. "Mon-
ey does everything for man." said one
old gentleman pompously. "Yes, replied
another one, "but money won't 40 as
much for man as some men will do for
money"

not indorse their declarations, whether
these advertisements appear in advertis-

in the loaded matter of "locals."

100000 of cash. The inference is
that not far from S2O,OOO,OO0 of cur
rency have been called from this city
to the interior within the last six
weeks"
There are almost as many texts as
there are lines in this paragraph. This
large accession Of gold to the vaults
OF the banks to make good the drafts
upon them for currency is one of the
results of doing business in gold, i'll
the money of the commercial world
in the one and only kind of money.
Of the twenty millions Of coin receiv-
ed from the beginning of August to
the middle Of September little more
than half a million was silver coin.
We have in these statistics a striking
Illustration of the truth that money
will go where it is wanted-we mean
good money, real money, the one kind
of money-when the community to
which it goes makes its currency con-
form to that money. Here is COM
ment on the nonsense of the infation-
lists who talk of regulating the supply
of money by an arbitrary act Of Con-
gress in accordance with some wild
notion of the demands of business. ="
Business must furnish the supply as
well as the demand. How would our
soft-money friends set to work to eff
feet this wholesome initiation of the
currency? Our twenty millions of
gold are worth as much when poured
over this country as they were when
they started from the other side of the
Atlantic. Our soft-money friends
would adopt the simple plan Of print
ing all the dollars they want; but
what would the greenbacks be worth
as each fresh supply flowed out from
Washington?
We are feeling the beneficial effects
of financial system resting practic-
ally upon one kind Of money. Is it
not our plain duty to strengthen and
perpetuate this system, to remove
finally all temptation to experiment
with other and pretended kinds Of put
ting an end to the opportunity and
the instruments Of such experiments?

receive or pay out any form of paper
currency in its transactions. Such
was the old democracy. 1t was hard
money party par excellence. After
the close of the war party with this
record had only to stand by it's time
honored principles in order to reap all
the political advantages of return to
sound money when the time should
come, as it inevitably would come, for
the sound financial sense of the coun-
try to recognize the mischief and evil
OF an irredeemable, fuctuating paper
currency. Impatience to ride into
power on transient delusion of the
debtor class tempted the democratic
party to fling away the great advan-
tage of its we'll known historical posi-
ton on questions relating to money
and to follow the "will-o'-the-wisp'' of
initiation and reputation that has led
it into the bog in which the party is
foundering. How strong, how COM
manding, how impregnable might be
the position of the democratic party
at present had it stood as a united, in
domitable phalanx for hard money!
Instead Of this it has allowed the re-
publicans to become the hard money
party and to occupy the solid ground
which was its own by tradition, by in
heritance, by the fame of many hard
fought battles and famous victories
on the side of a metallic currency.
The republicans have been permitted
to occupy this solid vantage ground
which the democrats deserted, and the
democratic party is wallowing and
floundering in bog. The defeat in
Ohio will bring the greenback demo-
Gratis to their senses, but it is too late
to retrieve what they have so foolishly
lost. Their political adversaries have
gained the credit Of restoring specie
payments against their opposition and
amid their SCOTS. The desertion of
their time-honored principles by the
democratic party is the most stupen-
dous political mistake since the Sc
cession of the South.
1t is the tendency of this descrip-
tlon of blunders to work their own
cure, but the cure comes through dis
asters which foresight might have
avoided. The rag baby" will no
longer figure in our politics; but its
destruction, like the crushing out of
rebounds to the credit of the
republican party, which gets new
lease of life by Staying this monster.
The Ohio election does for the green
back heresy what Appomattox did for
secession heresy. 1t is the finishing
'troke-the coup de grace.

A clergyman once publicly rebuked
a person who disturbed a religious
meeting by apparently acting the buff
foon and diverting the attention of
the assembly from the sermon. He
was afterward informed that the per-
son he admonished was an idiot, and
he AYERS that he ever after feared to
reprove any one for disturbing reli-
gious meeting, lest the person so re-
proved for such a course might prove
to be an idiot! His apprehension
were not groundless.
