Mr.. BEEcHER thinks that the advance
ment of England toward pure democracy
is so rapid and general that after Victoria
will come the deluge. There are many
indications showing that monarchical
forms have a feebler hold upon the loyalty
of Englishmen than ever before, but that
the aristocrat is to become unknown to the
law of England and the class distinctions
on which English society now rests become
speedily extinct is not probable In the
next half century. Mr.. Beechei may note
on the surface that free expression that
indicates liberal sentiment favorable to
genuine democracy, but there is greater
depth to the loyalty of the English to the
imperial system than he estimates. The
revolutionizing of governmental systems
among such a deliberate people as the
English is not the work of decade, nor
of several of them, but measures of time
approaching centuries.

delicate Health in Young women.

The special provocatives of delicate
health" in young women are in great
part social. The deleterious influence Of a
multiplicity of engagements, of the exact
ing demands of ambition, fashion and gay
ety-and not infreauently of an early be-
trothal-are intensified by the capacity for
endurance which belongs to the so-ealled
weaker sex. A girl can tire out her part
ners in german" one after another !;
a feeble wife can carry her baby twice
as long as her athletic husband. The
more strain there is upon the strength of
women the more completely do they forget
themselves and material wants. They SUBJ

the depressing influences of misfortune or
an unhappy home. They suffer and are
silent with what have been called bad
husband headaches" They stifie a wounded

BURIED GOLD FouNp.-While workmen

what was formerly the Glover estate, at
Suspension Bridge, Wednesday morning,
one of them, in digging a place to put q
support under the barn, came upon pile
of gold coin amounting to something
less than 500. The property on which
the barn stands was recently pur-
chased by J. T. Brundage, and he was hav-

THE SILVER DoLLAR-Of all the silly
things thrust into our faces from day TO
day, the slush about the silver dollar being
worth only 80 cents beats all. Will the
fools never learn anything? The paper in a
greenback dollar is not worth so cents, is it?
Why not make this fact pretext for retir-
ing them all? True enough, the Shylock
crew hate the greenback AMI want to de-
stroy the last one, but who ever heard of
any one arguing that because the paper
upon which they are printed is not worth
dollar, therefore destroy them? That is
:" too thin" Everybody could see through
that. And yet the argument against the
silver dollar is exactly the same. Will the
people never learn that money is one thing
and the material used in making it anoth-
er? The Shylock crew know this. We
can't give them credit for being such fools
as not to know it. But it is their aim and
business to keep the masses in ignorance of
the true nature of money. As Judge Tiff
fany says: Truly speaking, there is no
such thing as a gold dollar, or paper dol
lar."-EM M. Pilot.

Tom CoRwIN's WIZ John C. Calhoun

Ohio, and said to Corwin, "There goes
some of your constituents" Yes" said
Tom, gravely, they are going down South

once matched against Corwin, and in the
midst of his speech said Gentlemen,
my honored opponent himself, while he
breaches advocacy of home industry, has
a carriage at home which he got in Eng
land-had it shipped across the ocean to
him. How is that for supporting home
industry and labor?' When Corwin came
on the stand he made great show of en-
barrassment. stammered and began slowly
We'll, gentlemen, you have heard what
my friend, Mr. Brough, has to say of my
carriage. plead guilty to the charges, and
have only two things to say in my defense
The first is that the carriage came to me
from an English ancestor as an heirloom,
and had to take it. Again, have not
used it for seven years, and it has been
standing in my back yard all that time,
and the chickens have converted it into a
roost. Now, gentlemen" with a steady
look at Brough, Z" i have nothing further
to say in my defense; but would like to
know how Brough knows anything about
my carriage if he has not been visiting my

what Dreams are Made OF.

Wundt regards most dream representa-
tons as really representations, since they
emanate from sensorial impressions which,
though weak, continue during sleep. An
inconvenient position during sleep causes
the representation of painful work. peril
Gus ascent of a mountain, etc. slight
intercostal pain becomes the point of an
enemy's dagger, or the bite of an enraged
dog. Difficulty in respiration IS fearful
agony caused by nightmare, seeming to be
a weight rolled upon the chest, or horri-
rible monster which threatens to stifie the
sleeper. An involuntary extension OF the
foot is a fall from the dizzy hight OF tow
er. Flying is suggested by the rythmlc
movements OF respiration.
Further, "those subjective visual and
auditory sensations which are represented
in waking state as luminous chaos of
an obscure visual field, by humming and
roaring in the ears. and especially sub
jective retinal sensations, have an essential
role according to Wundt. There are
shown to us innumerable birds, butterflies,
fish, multi-colored pears, flowers, etc. But
If there be some cutaneous irritation, these
visions are usually changed into caterpil-
lars or beetles crawling over the skin of the
sleeper The sleeper sometimes dreams
of his appearing on the street or in society
only half dressed; the innocent cause is
found in some of the bed-clothes having
fallen off. An inconvenient position of
the sleeper, slight hindrance to respira-
lion, or interference with the action of the
heart. may be the cause of dreams where
one seeks an object without being able to
find it, or has forgotten something in start
ing on journey. The movements of re-
spiration may suggest to the sleeper, as
preyiously mentioned, flying but this
fight nay be objective, and instead of
himself flying he sees an angel descending
from the heavens. or luminous chaos
where birds are swiftly moving
THE representation of dreams having
sensorial origin may have mingled with
them those which arise solely from the re-
production of past memories. Parents or
friends cut off in the flower of life ordna-
rily appear in dreams, because of the pro-
found impression which their death or
burial has made, hence the general opinion
that the dead continue during the night
their intercourse with the living '"-Medi-

PACK THE LUNGS WITH AIR. = Deep
breathing and holding of the breath is an
item of importance Persons of weak vi
tally find an uninterrupted succession of
deep and rapid respiration so distressing
that they are discouraged from persevering
in the exercise. Let such persons take into
the lungs as much air as they can at a
breath and hold it as long as they can
they will find grateful sense of relief in
the whole abdominal region. Practice will
increase ability to hold the breath and the
capacity of the lungs. After time the art
may be learned of packing the lungs. This
is done BY taking and holding the long
breath and then forcing more air down the
trache by swallows of air. The operation
may be described by that of a fish's mouth
in the water To those who have never
learned, it will be surprising to what an
extent the lungs may be packed. Caution
at first is needful, but later practice will
warrant large use of the treatment. The
whole thoracic and abdominal cavities will
receive immediate benefit, and continuance.

THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH.-This ex-
preston is corruption OF an old-fashioned
saying that originated in the early days of
this country. As most of you know,
wild geese, when they migrate in
autumn, form themselves into lines
shaped like the letter V, the leader
flying at the point, the two lines
following; and as they sail away, far above
the trees, and beyond all danger from guns
-on those cold mornings when the air is
clear, and the sky beautifully blue-they
seem full of glee, and join in chorus,
Honk, honk, honk ~ ANY one who has
heard those curiously sounding notes,
never could mistake them. And the folks
on the earth below who heard the birds
wild call, in old times, realized the happi-
ness of the winged creatures in being SO
high and safe. And so it became quite
natural, when two persons met each 9th r
under peculiarly favorable circumstances
for this or that enterprise, for them to say !:

MILK DRINKING AS AN ART.-Milk
should not be taken in copious draughts
like beer or other fluids which differ from
it chemically. If we consider the use of
milk in infancy. the physiological indiges-
ton, that is, of food provided for it, each
small mouthful is secured by effort and
slowly presented to the gastric mucous sur
face for the primal digestive stages. II is
thus regularly and gradually reduced to
curd, and the stomach is not oppressed
with lump of half-coagulated milk. The
same principle should be regarded in the
case OF the adult. Milk should be slowly
taken in mouthfuls, at short intervals, and
tnus it is rightly dealt with by the gastric
Juice. If milk be taken after other food it
is almost sure to burden the stomach and
cause discomfort and prolonged indiges-
ton, and this for the obvious reason that
there is not sufficient digestive agency to
dispose of it; and the better the quality OF
the milk, the more severe the discomfort
under those conditions. Exchange.

WHY Mr. TOP ScoRNED THE DOUBLE ID. y
One of Mr.. Lincolns most esteemed
friends was old Ex-Governor Tod, of Ohio.
He was quaint old character, and Lincoln
loved him for his honesty, ability and ma
tive shrewdness. One evening when Tod
was in town Lincoln invited him over to
the White House, They had long chat
together, when Lincoln finally said Look
here, Tod, how is it that you spell your
name with only one d? married Todd
but she spelled her name with two DIS. All
of her relatives do the same. You are the
first Tod | ever met who spelled his name
with so few letters" Old Tod looked at
Lincoln for a moment in his peculiarly
quizzing manner, and then replied Mr..
President, God spells his name with only
one d, and what is good enough for God is
good enough for me-" Lincoln used to re-
peat this story to some of his more inti-
mate friends, and every time he did so ne
would laugh until the tears ran over that
furrowed but grand face.-Boston Trdrelier.

putation were based on the increase al
luded to, then the apparent reduction of
the debt would be s96,0OO,OOO to June
5oth, and Sl16,575, $50 since March 4,
1885. 1t adds as the conclusion of the re-
view:
For manifest reasons, however, the real, actual
debt of the country is that on which interest is
paid. Funds are held in trust in the Treasury
to pay all the Notwithstanding debt at any
moment, except the greenback item and the
gold in the Treasury in excess of gold eertifi-
Gates usually amounts TO about 80 or 80 per cent
oil the greenbackS actually outside the Treasury
The policy of Republican Secretaries OF the
Treasury has always been to retain about
Sl35 100000 of gold in the Treasury, exclusive of
that held in trust to redeem gold certificates in
the hands of the people. All in excess of
$3.50 1000 was used to make bond payments
and lower the interest-bearing Indebtedness.
The amount of this free gold in tie Treasury at
the close of the late fiscal year was nearly
Sl57h00,001. If Republican administration
had been in power in the past year therefore,
the nations debt would have been reduced to
the extent of S72,00O,000 at least. instead of
S50,000,000 under the Cleveland Manning
regime, and the burdens of the people would be
lcSsened TO that extent.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

Up to June 30th the total receipts of
the Government for the fiscal year we're
1886. IA, 292. In the same time it ex
pended S9O,52S,547. The excess of income
over outgo for six years past is thus shown !:

ISL. ....... las 5iS, Sll l1sSS 6S46S, ~
1888 1872 SIS, IA lSs6.......... sO52s, 547
So the excess has been 100000, 900 and
more four years out of six. Prior to that,
however. it never reached the hundred
million limit, excepting in 1867 and 1870.
The sinking fund was established in 1862.
One per cent. of the whole debt is the basis
of its integrity, together with the aggre-
gate of interest on bonds redeemed. This
fund is for the payment Of the debt. For
the year ending June so, 1886, there was
in that fund s45, $50, 900 that should have
been applied to debt payment. 1t is not
an item of the outgo above reported, and
hence the sum of expenditures should read
that much more. The Administration re-
duced the interest-paying debt since it
came into power $50, 135, 900. Until early
in 1886 il made no calls for bonds, the

LITERARY ADvIcE.-The following bit of
humorous advice which writer in Puck
gives to an aspirant for literary honors. is
worth reproduction "Would we advise
you to become literary woman? Oh,
yes, by all means, Clara. Become liter
erary woman, do. When you have con-
quered fame, you will have nothing to do
but to lie on a satin upholstered couch and
turn off delicate and dainty poems and
thrilling romances and things. You will
have a salon, and the great ones of the
world will gather about you and listen
with bated breath to your slightest utter
ances. Pages clad in gorgeous livery will
bring you, on golden salvers, rose-tinted
envelopes, inclosing the ten thousand dol
lar checks of your publishers. A grateful
populace will put up statues to you, name
streets, and villages, and race horses. and
patent neckties after you. Fair maidens
will seek an audience with you to solicit,
on Bonded knee, the priceless gift of your
autograph. Such will be your roseate fu-
ture when you have once won fame. And
until you have performed that tritiing feat
you can have lots of fun thinking of all
this while you are trudging around in the
rain, with half a gallon of water in your
shoes, or climbing up twenty seven flights
of stairs to sell hundred-dollar poem to a
twenty-fiye-cent editor, to be worked up
into tooth-powder ad.' for a patent in
side"
