PHASES OF THE SILVER QUESTION.

The Silver Convention held last week
nj Denver, OF Colorado, Nevada, oregon
and California, demanded the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the pres
ent standard, favored tho withdrawal Of
one and two dollar greenbacks In order
10 give o larger circulation TO silver,
that the obligations Of the Government
should DO paid without discrimination
In gold or silver, or gold and silver GER
tiAcates, and the national banks DO re-
qulred 10 keep not less than 10 per
cent. of tho legal reserves In standard
silver coin. This Ia the voice Of the
silver States, and II has many support
era, possibly majority, In the other
States. Tho convention also earnestly
advised President Cleveland TO select a
Secretary OF tho Treasury who will not
DO In tho interest OF national banks and
eastern brokers, but will recognize the
great interests of the South and West In
shaping the finances OF the administra'
ton, and strive 10 promote the interests
OF the whole people, Instead Of consult
Ing only the wishes Of the magnatos OF
Wall street." President Arthut's Score.
tary OF the Interior, Mr.. Teller, Of Colo

pungont letter In favor Of putting gold
aud silver on an equality In the way OF
unlimited coinage.

THE PRICE OF A KISS,

good story was told of Booth when
he was here last, says the Philadelphia
Press, which illustrates his Indifference
to the class of women who always find
something irresistible and fascinating
in the men who earn their living be-
hind the footlights. Booth was trav-
cling on the Boston and Albany road
one day, having just closed an engage
ment in the New England metropolis.
He heard an eXpensively dressed hand
some, middle aged woman back of him
sigh and say to her companion: II
would give $50 to kiss that man. He
turned suddenly, and looking at the
speaker, he demanded, DO you mean
that?'' fixing his fine dark eyes upon
her, and causing the blood to mount
up to the very roots of her hair.
why, yes, of course l do" replied
the woman, confusedly, looking in
helpless sort of a way at the great ira
gedian and at the smiling passengers.
"Well, | accept the terms, madam
exclaimed Booth, solemnly. And 1
stand by my proposition" said the
woman, recovering her self-possession,
and rising, she imprinted a sound kiss
upon the actors lips. Booths face did
not betray the slightest emotion. He
received the kiss stolidly, and did not
return it, but waited until the impetu-
Gus woman found her purse and handed
him $50 bill. He took the money,
thanked her, and turning to a feeble,
shabbily dressed woman ON the other
side of the aisle, who was travelling
with two young children, placed the
money in her hands, and with court
ly bow said; This is for the children,
madam. Take it, please, and without
another word he left the car.

DIsINFECTANTs.- response to sew
eral inquiries regarding disinfectants
we give below what Dr. Domett Stone
says about them: "All authorities. |
believe, are agreed in'giving the pref
erence to chlorine, which may be
evolved by mixing in bottle two ta-
blespoonfuls of common salt, two ta-
blespoonfuls of red lead and half wine
glassful ofHstrong oil of vitriol in a
quart of water. The bottle should be
kept cool, tightly stopped in a dark
place; a little of this fluid exposed in a
saucer, sprinkled on the floor, or soaked
in sheets of old linen and hung about
the rooms, rapidly destroys the effiuvia.
Green copperas (sulphate of iron,) one
pound, dissolved in a gallon of water,
is another very excellent agent, and
the same may be said of the fumes of
sulphur (sulphurous acid) for unoccu-
pied rooms. Chloride of lead solution
is another potent fluid; it is cheap, in
wolves very little trouble, instantaneous
in its effectsand perfectly safe. Indeed,
any of the above will be found to de-
stroy the rankest compound or vii
lainous smell that ever offended nos
tril."

OUR FLAG,

The subject of flag or standard was
considered early in the Continental
Congress; and on the 18th of June,
l777, this resolution was passed:
feS0tred, That the flag of the thir-
Teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
De thirteen stars, white, in blue field,
representing new constellation
The admission into the Union, after
the establishment of the Government,
OF Vermont and Kentucky as new
States, caused the number of stars and
stripes to be increased to fifteen each;
and the subsequent addition of five
other States led to the following enact
ment which is yet in force, approved
on the 4th of April, 1918.
An Act to establish the flag of the
United States.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and House
o. Representotiues Of the United States of
america an Congress assembled, That
from and after the 4th day of July
next, the flag of the United States be
thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate
red and white; that the Union be
twenty stars, white in a blue field.
SEC. 2. And be 1t further enacted. That
on the admission of every new State
into the Union, one star be added to
the union of the flag; and that such ad-
dition shall take effect on the 4th dav
OF July then next succeeding such adj
mission.
Whenever, therefore, an American
sees this glorious ensign of his country,
the stripes recall to his mind the birth
OF the Republic, with the events that
surrounded it; the stars suggest it's
wonderful development in size, in re-
sources, and in power; and, in homage
to the national grandeur and protec-
tive authority which it represents,
wherever he beholds it-whether in
mid-ocean floating at the head of a
passing ship, or waved aloft in the
streets of foreign lands-he lifts his hat
to it with patriotic feeling of filial
love and pride.-,St Nicholas.

THE GIRL WHO GETS LEFT.-It NAV
be set down as an absolute truth that
when a respectable young man desires
the acquaintance of one who may some
day be his wife, he does not go out on
the street and seek to make that ac-
quaintance by Irritation; in direct op-
position, such a one he would not
marry under any circumstances. The
flirting girl should bear in mind that
she is a by-word among those with
whom she flirts, and that the prolonged
indulgence of her folly will but serve
to fasten stigma upon her name
which will long outlast her years of ins
discretion, and will cause her to be
stunned by wife-seeking young men
through knowledge of her formerrepu-
tation

BEEF TEA.-Prof. Roberts Bartho-
low of the Jefferson Medical College,
says: Nothing has been more conclu-
sively shown than that beef tea is not
food 1t is nothing more than a stim-
ulant. preparing beef juice the lean
part should be selected. This should
be cut into thick pieces, about the size
of a lemonsqueezer The pieces should
be next placed on hot coal fire for a
moment to scorch the exterior; the
meat is then transferred to a lemon
squeezer, which has been warmed by
dipping in hot water, and the Juice
pressed out and allowed to flow into
the glass, which has also been heated.
The juice is seasoned with little salt
and cayenne pepper if the patient de-
slresit, and taken Immediately. Inthis
way the nutritious elements of the
meat are obtained, and the slight
scorching develops constituents which
give the peculiar flavor to cooked
meat" This is diet the principle of
which is the administration of those
elements which are disposed of in the
stomach, and do not require the aid of
the intestines in their digestion.

HOW AMERICA IS PEOPLED.

Every minute of the day 70 new hu-
man beings are brought into existence
and 67 are removed, says writer in a
Pittsburg paper. The population of
the world is steadily increasing at the
rate of three per minute, or 1920 per
day, more than 100000 each year.
| Just think of the yearly increase of man
being equal to the entire population
of the State of Iowa. Where do they
all go? The home of the human race,
| as far as we can learn, was in Asia
| and from there all nations have come.
The rapid increase of population in the
United States shows the tendency of
the race to scatter and seek new fields.
Had the revolutionary fathers forbid
den immigration, urgreat West would
still be wide waste. The natural in
crease of population would not have
been sufficient to have populated the
| country as far west as the Alleghanies.
| However, instead of discouraging i'm
migration, they offered inducements to
| farmers and mechanics. There were
but few attractions for professional
gentlemen, or those who are above
working. The result was that an in
| dustrious class of citizens was secured,
and the admiXture of blood has pro-
duced new race which is as distinctly
American as the Irish is Celtic.
One characteristic of the new race
is its spirit of independence This trait
is not only shown in political affairs
but in everything. The only restraint
to personal liberty is when it's exercise
would be serious injury to others.
This feature of our government is con-
stantly attracting those from all other
countries who love liberty and indie
pendence. This class is universally
strong physically and possesses better
brain and more of the spirit of pro-
gress than those who remain behind
to live and die serfs, vassals or subjects
of a government for which they have
no love.
There is room in this country for
double the present population, and
still not be crowded like European
States. Some imagine that at the pres
ent rate of immigration it will only
take another decade or so to fill the
country chocl full, and already some
OF our domestic economists are getting
scared.

Tactic acid is one of the chief agents
that give acidity to the gastric juice of
the stomach in health. This is the
acid of sour milk, and, therefore, one
of the best Summer diet drinks that we
can use is buttermilk. 1t satisfies the
craving for acids by giving to the
stomach natural supply and at the
same time furnishing in its cheesy mat
ter good supply of wholesome nutri-
ton. A man will endure fatigue in
hot weather better on buttermilk than
on any diet drink he can use.

HE KILLED HIM.

|
A lady correspondent furnishes us
with the following for our columns:
Our professor was much annoyed
last Winter by petty thieves, who Wis
tied his woodpile and chicken houses
SO often that at last his patience gave
out, and, procuring a revolver, he
announced, in the presence of his
family, and several students who
boarded with him, his intention of
using it the first time he found anybody
prowling about his premises at unlaw-
full hours.
A night or two afterward, he was
awakened by a noise in the yard, in
the direction of the woodpile. Arous-
ing his wife, he sent her to the window
to reconnoitre, while, revolver in hand,
he cautiously opened the back door,
Sure enough, there was a man just
climbing the alley fence Raising his
arm, the professor fired, and, after
swaying backward and forward a mo-
ment, the man fell to the ground
20, professor" exclaimed his wife,
you have killed him.
To say the professor was surprised
would be putting it lightly. He was
amazed, stupefed. He had onlymeant
to scare the intruder, and had, he
thought, aimed far above his head;
but he had hit him. As the awful
thought that he had slain a human
being rushed through his brain, he
shut the door, and sank trembling on
chair.
20, Mollie.' he gasped, you know
did not mean to hurt him. What shall
do? o, merciful Heaven, I know now
| how murderer feels!''
His wife, only a little less excited
than himself, begged.him to be calm.
May be" she said, ''the man is not
dead, only wounded; let us go and see. >
Il cannot" groaned the professor.
Il know he is dead by the way he fell.
Shall | ever forget that dull, heavy
| fall! o, Mollie, don't open the door;
| stay with your wretched husbandm
At this moment sound like a smoth-
cred laugh reached the ears of husband
! and wife. They gazed at each other a
| second, and then the professor sprang
to the door and flung it open. There
was a sound of hurrying feet; but the
| professor was swift of limb, and in a
twinkling one luckless student was col
! Jared.
20, professor" he gasped, ''I-I-I
heard your shot, and was going to see
| if the man was dead
You scoundrel! where's the rest of
your gang?" cried the angry professor.
| III expel every one of you.'
Just here his wife interposed.
Come, boys" she said as she saw
by the moonlight three or four figures
trying to step out of sight behind the
house, come, boys, it's good joka on
| the professor, but it has shaken me up
| terribly, so come in and tell US how YOU
managed"
| 1t was very simple. A stuffed suit of
clothes, half dozen boys to pull it as
the shot was fired; that was all.
The boys were pledged to secrecy
but it was too good to keep and, some.
how, the story got out; and the pro.
fessor is often.s asked if he remembers
that dull, heavy fall?" and begged tc
enlighten people as to a ''murderer's
feelings
| But it is safe to say that midnight
marauders will be unmolested now by
the professor, although the students
declare that they are ON the watch
and intend to guard the premises vigi
lantly.

A spider caught for observation by a
scientifically inclined Englishman was
weighed carefully together with what
food he consumed in given time.
AT the same rate of consumption, says
the London Standard, a man weighing
160 pounds would require the whole of
fat steer for breakfast, the dose re-
peated with the addition of half dozen
well-fatted sheep for dinner, and two
bullocks, eight sheep and four hogs for
supper, and then as lunch before 60
ing to his club banquet, he would in
dulge in about four barrels of fresh
fish
