Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous mem-
brane the remedy used must be nOn-irritat-
ing. The medical profession has been slow
TO learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be
accomplished with dOuches, snuffs, powders,
syringes, astringents OF any similar applica-
tion, because they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces and
should be abandoned as worse than failures.
A multitude of persons who had for years
borne all the worry and pain that catairh
can inflict testify to radical and permanent
cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

The Mind and the Legs.

From tie DenUsr Tribune Republican.
Men generally cross their legs when
there is the least pressure on their minds.
You will never find a man actually en-
gaged in business with his legs crossed.
The limbs at those times are straighter
than at any other, because the mind and
body work together. A man engaged in
auditing accounts will never cross his
legs; neither will a man who is writing
an article, or who is employed in any
manner where his brain is actively en-
gagged when at work in a sitting posture
the limbs naturally extend 10 the floOr in
perfectly straight line. A man may
cross his legs II he is sitting in an Office
chair discussing some business PROPOSE
tion with another man, but the instant he
becomes really In earnest and perceiVes
something 10 be gained. his limbs uncross
quick as a fash, he bends forward toward
his neighbOr. and begins 10 use his hands
lhat is a phase that believe you Will al
ways observe.
Men often cross their legs at public
meetings because they 20 there TO listen,
or IN be entertained; they are not the fac
tors In the performance, and they natu-
rally place themselves in the most COM
Portable nositiOn known 10 them, namely,
that OF leaning well back In their chairs
and crossing their legs. A man always
crosses his legs when he reads a newspa-
per- but is more apt to lie down when he
reads book. He reads the paper, Of
course, 10 inform himself, but at the same
time the perusal Of It's contents is recrea-
tion for bin, and his body again seeks its
position Of relaxation.

waiting for his breakfast his legs are al
ways crossed, but 80 soon as the breakfast
is brought 20 him he puts the paper aside.

MAKING MANY MORE DOLLARS.
Decline in the Price of Silver Increasing
the Light Weight Coinage.
Froa. tho PhiladelDhtd Times.

FrOHt tho PhtiddeLDh31 Times.
WASHINGTON. April lS.-It was sup
posed at the Treasury Department that
the effect of the recent action of the House
OF Representatives in refusing to author
ize the free coinage of silver or to sus-
pend coinage would be to steady the price
Of silver bullion. 1t appears, however,
that, instead, the price has declined and
that the latest purchases were at less
figure than has ever been reached. 1t
puzzles the Treasury officials how to ac-
count for this. The law requires the pur-
chase each month Of not less than $2,000,-
600 worth of silver bullion. At
the present declining price of sill
yer the coinage for the present year
will aggregate about $50. 100000, or con-
sderably more than $4,000 600 month.
Under the law as 1t now stands the
lower the price of silver the greater the
number OF dollars coined, so that the less
valuable silver bullion becomes the more
dollars of that metal are required to be
put into the circulation of the country.
This Is practical feature OF the silver
question which the silver men did not eX-
pect to meet, and one which is giving
much concern to the Treasury Offcials,as
well as to those in Congress who really
have some appreciation OF the gravity of
the subject in an economic as well as
financial point OF view.
In connection with the silver question
in general mucn pressure is being
brought to bear by parties still holding
trade dollars. A Treasury official of high
rank, talking about the trade dollar, re-
marked that 1t was a singular fact that
the standard silver dollar at the present
price of bullion was worth about seventy
eight cents, but the law made it pass
current at 100 cents, while the trade
dollar, worth 80 cents, or cents on the
dollar more, would not pass at all. The
same official said that the amount Of
these dollars still in existence was far
below six million. 1t was also SAID tnat
the cry of having large number thrown
back upon the country from China was
without serious danger, as it
had been discovered after
very careful investigation that
bullion dealers Of New York, San Fran
cisco and elsewhere, expecting to realize
a handsome profit, had secured the COM
mercial points Of China, from Tientsin to
Canton, and bad found that no American
trades were to be had. Therefore the dan
ger from this source is thought to be i'm
aginary. This is explained by the infer
ence that as soon as the trades found their
way into the interior of China they went
into the melting pot and were run into
sycee of taels weight and became part of
the silver medium of mercantile and do
mestic commercial transactions of the
country. From all appearances the sill
yer question is just beginning to enter it's
most interesting stage.

The Prettiest Sight in savannah.

For this week the prettiest sight in Sa.
vannah will be our display of EASTER
CARDS and NOVELTIES. 1t has been our
aim to offer such a large and exquisite
line of Easter Art Prints as were never
before shown in this city.
We have succeeded, and we are proud
of it. We have the choicest designs from
all the leading art publishers. We have
thousands Of them, and hardly any two
alike. The variety is bewildering, and
makes one wonder how so many lovely
things were ever thought of.
And all so tastefully and artistically
grouped aud displayed, that every lover
OF the beautiful will be delighted. Our
show window, with its large cross COW
cred entirely with Easter Cards, is well
worth an hours inspection.
And, best OF all, low prices rule this
year, and % cents will 60 twice as far as
at Christmas.
Ladies and all art lovers are invited to
call and see this display. II they do not
wish to purchase, it's all the same, and
they will be just as welcome.
Remember our special 10 per cent,
cash reduction on Easter Cards, and all
goods. i. 81 b. 5. NJ. H.-AdU.

Tom Corwin's Ready Repartee.
From tAe LoIfsD,ue Couyier- Journal.


John G. Calhoun once pointed TO drove of
mules just from Ohio, and said to Oorwln
'Ihere 20 some of your constituents" ~ cs,"
SAID Tom gravely, "they are going down
South to teach school," Gov. Brough was
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 England-had it shipped
across the ocean TO him. How is that for sup
porting home industry and labor"
When Corwin came on the stand he made
great show of embarrassment, stammered,
and began slowly: "Well, gentlemen, you
have heard what nv friend Mr. Brough mas
TO say Of my carriage. 1 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 1t for seven ears, and it has been
standing In my back yard all that time, ana
the cnlckens have converted IL into a rOost.
Now, gentlemen" with a steady look at
Brough. II have nothing further to say in my
defense; but ] would like to know how
Brough knows anything about my carriage
II ne mas not been visiting my chicken roost."
One OF the neatest rostrum retOrts ever re-
corded was made by Corwn to Tom Hamer,
VINO was also noted as wag and stump
speaker of great power. 1t was in 1910, and
joint debate was being held between the two
