Gold and Silver in History.

The earliest history extant of the
human race informs us that gold and
silver were highly appreciated as
measures of commercial value and as
materials for aesthetic ornament and
personal adornmcnt. In the first
chapter of the book of Pentateuch
mention is made of the gold of Hav-
ilah, and it is added with considera-
BILE unction, "the gold of the land is
good" free from alloy, sill yer or cop
per, and worth twenty dollars an
ounce in the mines. Abraham bought
the cave of Machpelah for q burial
place for his faithful spouse Sarah,
and paid for it in precious lucre,
current money with the merchant" )"
His grandson, Jacob, sent his sons
with money to buy corn in Egypt,
and holy writ is full of illusions to
gold and silver as negotiable articles
or as cmblems Of purity, beauty and
every desirable quality. Solomon
sent his ships to Tarsish for gold,
which was very plentiful in Jerusa-
lem during his reign and as for sill
yer. it was SO abundant that it "was
not accounted anything in the days
of Solomon Things were evidently
ON specie basis during the reign Of
that merry mouarch. Yet, though it
would appear that the times should
have been flush, Israelites were SO
oppressed by his exactions for build
ing the temple. the kings house. ETC.,
aud furnishing them with vessels OF
gold. silver and brass, that at Solo
mons death they thought it meet to
send a deputation to his son and sue
cessor asking relief from the burdens
ever laid upon them by the "wisest
man" Their petition was contemp-
tuously rejected, and Immediately
ten tribes passed ordinances Of seces-
sion and went out of the Hebraic
nnion. So that the building of the
temple was the occasion of the dis
ruption of the Jewish empire, instead
as the builder fondIy hoped, of being
bond of indissoluble union between
the tribes. But this is a depression,
for which we trust we Will be for
given. The earliest profane history
also shows that gold and silver were
the chief objects ofardent desire and
earnest quest among the ancient pa
gans and Midas, of the golden touch
Jason, of the golden fleece, and other
old buffers, who revelcd in wealth,
were almost as popular as Hercules,
Perseus and long list of ancient he
rOcs and demigods.

PEOPLE WHO SWEAR.
Examples Quoted by Mr.. Talmage Of
Men who have Cursed God and Died.


The Brooklyn Tabernacle was
crowded Sunday morning when MIR.
Talnagc took his text from the ninth
verse of the second chapter of Job,
Course God and die" Prefacing his
remarks with the story of Jobs trib-
ulations and his refusal to curse the
Lord at The command of his wife,
Mr.. Talmage said that blasphemy is
one of the ten plaques. The drayman
curses in the street and the girl
swears in the factory. Little children
swear, men swear, ladies swear
(half suppressed laughteD-swearing
from the calling OH the Almighty in
the low restaurant up to the "Oh,
Lord ~ from female lips in the gilt
tering drawing-room. 1t was no pro-
family when James A. Garfield in the
Washington depot cried out ooh!
my God! What does this mean!"
There is no profanity is calling on
God in the day of desolation. Be-
tween sixteen and twenty years of
age there is time when young
man is as much ashamed at not being
able to swear freely and gracefully
as lie was of the dizziness caused by
his first cigar. 1t is not heard in the
rawing-rOOm--m have no rever-
ence for God, but they respect the
ladies. Fathers aud children swear.
The crime is fostered by master me-
chanics and those at the head of great
business houses. Some men say hey

when they get mad they've got to
do ito clear themselves out. The
habit comes from bywords. "My
stars /! Mercy on ne! Goodness gra-
cfous BY George! By Jove ]"
daughter among the ladies.) These
words, perfectly harmless in them
selves, are next door to swearing.
The continual use of bywords always
leads to profanity. Here the preacll-
er asked if there were not words
enough in the English language to
express ones hatred and condemna-
ton OF anything mean and false with
out having recourse to swearing. He
would let any man begin and curse
and he would come after him and
express stronger condemnation and
hatred with good, pure English
words. "fhere is not" he continued,
"a city or village which cannot give
yon an illustration of a man struck
down in the moment of imprecation.
In New Brunswick, N. j., just before
L went there as a student, a man on
the railroad track uttered horrible
oath. A train came along and struck
him dead. The. physicians cxainin-
ing the body found hardly bruise,
except that the tongue was cut out.
No mystery in it. He cursed God
and died. In Scotland there was a
club for horrible purpose. Whoever
uttered the most horrible oath was
TO be president. The man who as
sumed the chair contracted a most
peculiar disease. His mouth swelled
and his tongue protruded out of the
mouth. Tie physicians could not
understand it. There was no record
of such case. ! understand it, lie

of Catskill a crowd of men stood in a
blacksmith shop during storm. A

Scientific Miscellany.

A single seed is said to have pro-
duced a plant bearing 1880 grains
of corn. AT this rate, it has been
computed that the product of a sim
gle seed of corn would amount to
sufficient in eight years 10 supply the
entire human race with bread for a
year and half.
The experiments made by. NJ. Bou-
chut with pepsine, as an agent for
destroying worms in the stomach and
bowels have been repeated with very
favorable results. Even the tape
worm succumbs to the digestive act
ion of pepsine in large doses, while
the more highly organized tissues OF
the stomach remain unaffected.
Mr.. C. Shaler Smith has given the
results of extensive observations in
relation TO the pressure exertcd by
the wind. The most violent gale re-
corded by him was at East St. Louis
in 1871, when the wind overturned @
locomotive, the force developed in SO
doing being no less than 93 pounds
per square foot. At st. Charles a
Jail was destroyed in 1877, the pres
sure required being 81 pounds per
square foot. At Marshfield, in 1880,
brick mansion was leveled, the
force necessary beng So pounds per
square foot. Below these extraordi-
nary pressurcs, Mr.. Smith Instances
numerous cases of trains blown off
rails, and bridges, etc, blown down
by gales of "a to 81 pounds per square
foot. In all the examples the low est
force required to do the observed
damage has been taken as the maxi
mum power of the wind, although,
of course, it may have been higher.
