The more perfect the independ-
ence Of individuals. the greater their
power to assist each ether, in case OF
unforeseen trouble. 1t is the same
with nations, yet we have long been
fostering financial policy that made
us more and more dependent upon
the influence and control Of foreign
money markets, which are liable at
any time to create more or less dis
tnrbanee, and derange our business
relations. Yet this system is de-
clared by its defenders to be honest
and all attempts for establishment
OF one that vii! free us from this
foreign influence and control are de.
nounced rs dishonest and unsound
l-IScntry.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that i solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made Of composition known
a. albata, which il very poor substitute
for silver, a. it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much Is possible Of
the cheap metal Anotherimportant point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should b made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which il
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
= brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
keystone SilverW atch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

The discovery Of ATHLopHoRos rs
specific for rheumatism and Neu-
ralgia was not an accident, but the
suit OF inquiry into his own case, by
u gentleman OF wealth. leisure and
scientific accomplishment. who had
been long Il victim Of Rheumatism.
His own cure proved His theories as
to the nature of the disease. and the
merits OF Athlophoros as specific
for it. Then his friends tried it, and
their friends. And SO the circle
widened, till now Athlophoros is
recognized in every state as the sur.
est remedy for Rheumatism and Neu-

Preachers-PoliticaI.

To-day, in Austin, there will be no
political sermons preached from our
pulpits; at least, judging by the past
and the general taste of the ministers
of the churches here, there viii be
none. 1t is certainly very gratifying
to be able to make this assertion, and
yet what we say of the preachers of
this capital city, the states seat of po-
litical power. may be repeated in a
general sense as applying to all por-
lions of Texas. In fact, it is a most
creditable feature of all southern pull
pit addresses that they aie never APP
piled to things political. As much
cannot be said of preachers in north
ern states, and yet while this is true
we incline to the belief that Christian
people, anywhere, do not think such
expression consistent with the duties
and responsibilities of gospel
preaching. To convert the
pulpit into the rostrum,
where the claims of individuals are
presented for public political selection,

One Thousand Acres of Land and
"R1ght Smart of Bears"

On the deck Of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter Indicating
bya sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to passenger from tue
North: "When / was twelve years old
killed my first bear on new plantation my
father as then cutting out of q forest that
grew directly over the waters ef this ben1.
That was mighty good plantation, and there
was right smart OF bears there, too. But that
one thousand acres Ofland went into the Mis-
sissippi years ago"
1t Is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests Of youthful hope, womanly
brauty and manly strength are swept IN the
same way every year into the great, tlirbid
torrent OF disease and death. Yet it should
not be So That it is so Is a disgrace as well
as loss People are largely too careless or
too stupid to defend their own interests the
most precious of which Is health. That gone
all Is gone. Disease is simple. hut to reckless,

Gen. Cerro Gordo Williams. the noted

calculated to produce the most violent
alarm" He says the disease is as ''coD-

that the malady may be lurking in
in the system of an animal for months
before it IS suspected to exist" Its
march is slow, but constant: it cannot
be told when it may break out. 1t
hangs over the cattle breeders like a
