The remarkable case of Elizabeth
WoodcOck, who was buried under the
snow, is especially striking. In the
winter of 1879 she was returning on
horseback from Cambridge, Eng, To her
home i'll a neighboring village, and, hav-
ing dismounted for "a few minutes, the
horse ran away from her. At o'clock
on winter evening she sat down under
a thicket, cold, tired and disheartened
Snow came on; she was too weak to rise,
and the consequence was that by morn
ing the snow had heaped around her to
height of two feet above her head as
she sat. She had strength enough to
thrust twig, with her handkerchief at
the top of IT, through the snow, 10 serve
as signal, and to admit little day
light. Torpor supervened, and she knew
little more of what passed around her.
Night succeeded day, and day again
broke, but there she remained, notion
less and foodless. Not senseless, how
ever, for she could hear church bells and
village sounds-nay, even the voices and
conversation of some of her neighbors.
-Four whole days she thus remained, one
single pinch of snuff being her only sub
stitute for food during this time, and
even this she found had lost its pungen-
cy. On the fifth day thaw commenced,
and then she suffered greatly, but still
without means to extricate herself. 1t
was not until the eighth day that the
handkerchief was espied by villager,
who, with many others, had long been
seeking for her. STOPPING down, he
said
"Are you there, Elizabeth Wood
cock ?"
She had strength enough to reply,
family:
"Dear John Stittle, 1 know your
voice. For Gods sake, help me out"
She died about half year afterward,
through Encouragement of frost-bitten
toes; but it was fully admitted that no
one, unless cased in snow, could have
lived out those eight days and nights in
such place without food.

How To (Iet Along.

Never stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have q place of business, be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich sitting around
stores and saloons.
Never "fool" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, and
also promptness.
Donot NEEDLE with business you know
nothing about.
Do not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made in day by
going steadily than stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give when you cannot afford to, simply
because il is fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity Of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather than those
of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean, III repro
ducing the above table, says: Exactly
what has occasioned the relative increase
In value of gold and the decrease in
value of silver as compared with gold,
it is extremely difficult to say" The ex-
PLANTATION usually given by writers on
the subject, and doubtless the true ex-
PLANTATION, is that it was caused by the
discovery of the silver mines in Mexico
and Peru by the Spaniards, and the enor-
nous increase In the worlds stock of
silver which followed the opening of
those mines A considerable period
elapsed after America began to pour its
silver wealth upon Europe before this
consequence was clearly manifested, but
it gradually operated until, from requir-
ing little more than eleven ounces Of
silver TO equal in value an ounce of gold,
an ounce of gold became worth over fif-
teen ounces of silver A state of APP
proximate equilibrium had been reached
In the eighteenth century, and the oscil-
lations in the price of silver for long
time ranged within narrow margin
above fifteen. A new and more rapid de-
preston set in about 1875. This, no
doubt, resulted in part from the discovery
of immense veins of silver in Nevada
and the production therefrom of silver
bullion at rate never before witnessed,
and in part from the demonstration Of
silver by Germany, followed shortly after
by the practical prohibition of its further
coinage blythe States of the Latin Union.
The decentralization of silver by the
United States i'll 1873 had little, If any,
influence in depreciating silver. For
many years silver had not been in circu-
lation here, and the action of the govern
ment threw no silver upon the market
Ii Germany had been a country without
actual silver in circulation, and using only
irredeemable paper. it might have de-
monetized silver in the nominal and theo-
retical manner in which that act was per-
formed here, and no consequence what
ever in the bullion market would have
followed. 1t was the fact that the action
of Germany threw hundreds of millions
of that metal on the market, which gave
it Importance, and, with the immense
production of the Comstock lode, led to
sharp decline in bullion. Erchange.
