creased to So month. No iptelli-

mouse, securing the votes Of every
republican and every northern demo-
crae except Mr.. Bragg of Wisconsin,
and Mr.. Hewitt of New York.
Inc bill was favored by MANY
members, because it could be util;0oJ
to head off measure that would in

DON'T UNDERVALUE THE BOY.

Too many men make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac-
count while they are boys. Lay a
responsibility on boy, and he will
meet it in a manful spirit. On no
account ignore their disposition to
investigate. Help them to under
stand things. Encourage them to
know what they are about. We are
too apt to treat boys seeking after
knowledge as mere idle curiosity.
"Don't ask questions" is poor advice
to boys. If you do not explain puz-
cling things to them, you oblige them
to make many experiments before
they find out, and though experiment
tai knowledge is best, in one sense,
in another it is not, for that which
can be explained clearly, does not
need experimenting with. 1t the
principal involved is understood,
there is no further trouble, and the
boy can go ahead intelligently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow up
before you begin to treat him as an
equal. A proper amount of conf
dence, and words of encouragement
and advice, and giving him to under
stand that you trust him in many
ways, helps to make man of him
long before he is a man in either
stature or consolidation, Agrical-
| tatrist for February.

DR.. Brandcs, a physician at Hitzackes,
Hanover, has written an article in a
German medical paper in which he
demonstrate the valuable properties of
the anacharis alsinastrum, n water plant
which has hitherto been considered as an
unmitigated plague, choking up rivers,
and altogether useless.
DIR. Brandes has remarked that
In the district where he lives,
and where malaria and diarrhoea
malaria and diarrhoea yearly appeared
in a sporadic OF epidemic form. these
diseases have gradually decreased since
the anacharis alsinastrum began TO in
fest the neighboring rivers and marshes,
and since four years have totally disap-
peared.
The above-named water plant nour-
ishes itself on decayed vegetable matter,
and grows with incredible rapidity. IL
thus destroys the germs which produce
malaria and diarrhoea; and besides, its
presence obliges the frequent cleansing
of standing waters, a measure beneficial
u health.
DIR. Brandes therefore proposes that
the experiment should be tried of plant
ing the anacharis ~alsinastrum in marshy
districts. 1t is also useful in protecting
the young of fish, and affords an ex-
cellent dung. The plant came originally
from Canada, whence it was brought u
England, and thence TO Germany about
1910. In North Germany it rapidly
spread far and wide, and this year APP

morrow.
The United States treasury To day is
sued the following notice in regard to the
issue of one dollar silver certificates:
Owing to the great demand for other
denominations of notes. the treasury Of
the United States is unable to supply one
dollar notes except in small amounts. In
order to satisfy, as far as possible, public
demands, it has been decided TO furnish
from this Office those notes in sums of
81 900 to each bank making application,
and at the same time %deposiung that sum
with the assistant treasurer at New York.
L pom the receipt of certificate OF deposit
a like sum will be forwarded at the OK
pensc Of the banks making the applica
ton. In order to effect an equitable dis
tribution. as far rs possible, appll-
cants will obtain these notes in the
order in which the deposits are
made at the sub treasury at
New York. Until further notice no
second application will be granted, until
the supply of notes is adequate to meet
all current demands The maximum
amount Of these certificates that the treas
ury can furnish daily, will not exceed over
$50, 900, and il is suggested by the acting
treasurer, that it will be well for the banks
70 ascertain through their New York cor
respondent the probable time when they
will receive shipments of ones, in the

No Change TO Occur.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Star to-
night says: AT the treasury department
there seems to be no Importance attached
to the report that the president has offered
the secretaryship of the treasury to Sena-
tor Mcpherson. Ii may be stated with
certainty that Secretary Manning is going
back to the treasury. He has decided to
remain at the head of the department so
long as his health will permit him to do
So, even to the end of Mr.. Cleveland's
term. When the members OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet accepted their appoint
ments it was with the understanding that
they enlisted for the war, that they
would remain in the cabinet until the end
of the term. The Democratic admins
obstacles had to be overcome and stability
was necessary. It was important that
there should be no breaking up OF the
come what might, to carry into effect
Democratic measures and make the ad
ministratlon a success. OF course, such a
calamity as the illness of Mr.. Manning
was not taken into consideration. When
he was in such a critical condition that it
was uncertain whether or not he would
ever recover, and lac was obliged to leave
the department, it seemed if his retirement
could not be avoided. Consequently his res
ignation was sent in. Now he has apparently
recovered his health, and he is willing and
desires to stand by the ship and see
the administration through, if his physi-
cal condition will admit of it. He would
put himself to great personal inconven
fence to do this. His absence would be a
serious loss to the cabinet, and Mr.. Cleve-
land would feel it keenly. OF course, as
a friend, Cleveland would not urge upon
him too strongly to remain if it involved
injury to his health; but he will do all he
can to retain his services without taxing
his strength. 1t may be said with Ger
tainty that Mr.. Manning will make the
trial. Those who are in a position to be
best informed on the situation, do not
think that Senator Mcpherson will be
secretary of the treasury, Should Mr..
Manning find by experience that his re-
tirement from active life is necessary to
his health
