the practical workings of the plan, to
which Mr.. Livingston replied:
"The advance is made direct from
government to producer. This system
will encourage production of necessaries
of life, for when a man knows what he
raises viii sell for its value, Influenced
by speculation, he will plant heavily.
1t will stimulate the agricultural world
without end. This plan applies to agri-
cultural products, pig iron or any staple
product The principle is now applied
for silver under the scheme devised by
Alexander Stephens The government
issues money called silver certificates,
based on silver coin or bullion; also, GER
tificates based on gold coin or bullion.
Silver and gold values have fiuctuated
largely Some will say the fluctuations
of produce of farmers will be an obsta-
Gle. We answer, bullion has fluctuated
also. Under this plan, however, fuctu-
ations would be reduced to the mini
mum. 1t would have the same effect
on agricultural products that the remon-
etization had ON silver 1t will solidify
and steady its value Fluctuations as
cause will be removed, and prices will
be left to adjust themselves firmly to the
cost or abundance of crops and other legit-
innate factors ir the cost of articles. The
farmers, as it now is, must pay retailers
profit, wholesalers profit, Georgia bank
er's profit, and the toll the New York
bank makes off that in Georgia. With
the other plan the money goes direct to
the producer, and he gets his purchases
at the lowest margin of profit.
A Great Campaign Feature.
This sub-treasury plan will, as Liv-
ingstone states, be the one great feature
of the coming campaign through the
south. Railroad regulation is the other,
but the farmers say they want to wait to
see if the railroad commission will &C
complish any practical good. That they
are in politics in earnest there can be no
doubt Livingstone is himself right in
the midst Of heated campaign for the
governorship of Georgia. His plan is to
ally with him on these lines strong men
from all congressional districts, and
make the campaign fight between farm
ers and other classes. The alliance is
$4,000 strong in Georgia, and its power
is almost overwhelming. So Georgia and
other southern congressman have reason
to feel shaky as to the result.

Portuguese Merchants Looking to the
United States for Goods.
NEW YORK, March s. S.-Francisco Con
valves, business man of Portugal, who
has come to America to buy machinery
instead of going to England as formerly
says: "The popular indignation caused
by the acts of Great Britain in the recent
political complications has led to an al
most universal determination on the
part of the mercantile and industrial ele-
ments of Portugal to free themselves
from the tyranny OF England and to
seek for other sources for the supply of
goods. There is also a movement on
foot to form companies to manufacture
articles that were formerly imported
from England. The public opinion is in
favor of liberal treaties with foreign
countries, and more especially with the
United States

Fxpert Electrician Killed.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March William
Miller, 20 years old, and a son of Gen. j.
C. Miller, of Pennsylvania was killed by
an electric shock at Thomas furnaces,
near this city, late Wednesday night.
The exact manner of his death is mys-
terry. He was in charge of the electric
lights, being an expert electrician, and
was killed in one Of the cast houses. No
one saw him fall, and his body was ten
feet from the nearest electric wire when
found. A thorough search failed to find
an exposed wire in the house, and how
Miller received the shock which killed
him is a mystery. The shock was evi-
IDENTIFY great enough to produce instant
death.

His Sentence.
WASHINGTON, March 8.--One of the
dispatches announcing that the board of
managers of the Ohio penitentiary have
recommended the pardon of e. l.. Har-
per, the wrecker of the Fidelity National
bank of Cincinnati, says Among those
who are thoroughly informed as to
Harper's prison life, and the causes that
have led the board to make the recon-
mendation, it is believed President Har-
rison will grant an unconditional pardon
at an early day" Attorney General
Miller was shown this dispatch Thurs
day, and said: II have heard nothing
on the subject of Harper's pardon recent
ly. An application for his release was
made some time age and after full con-
sideration of all the arguments advanced
iu his behalf this department could not
recommend Harper's pardon, and the
president so decided. / am not, of
course, authorized to speak for the presi-
dent, but 80 far as the department of
justice is concerned nothing has been
brought TO my attention recently to
change the opinion already expressed,
that Harper should not be pardoned. "

viii either kill himself or me if he
keeps on" But firmless must be vour
rescuc. If you yield once, you can con-
tnue so TO do. The instances are rare
where violent TITS of crying from
naughtines have not been the direct
result of the too ready yielding of the
over-indulgent mother. 1t is better
to have the annoyance of hearing your
children scream until tired nature
forces them to stop, than to let them
know that they can have what they de-
sire, if they only scream long enough.
BE s'rc they are not crying from the
result OF pin, or any other accident,
and then simply leave them. Some
children have been cured of scr canning
IFS by beng taken ont of their cradles,
and then lIii ON the bed. with their
faces turned toward the wall, with a
pillow placed at their backs, TO prevent
their turning. II they are old enough
to scream for what they desire, they
are old enough TO understand what
this treatment means. When an Indian
baby cries from temper, the mother
sIucez, 5 his nose with one hand, and
covers his mouth with the other.
When removing the hands, If the baby
gives another scream, they are at once
applied, as before. This Is rather
heroic treatment, and, therefore, l
cannot advise its trial.
Each baby Is or ought to be, the
sweetest one in all the world to his
own mother; but they need discipline
long before they have Out-grown their
cradle, and il is wise to allow no habit
to form in infancy that must be broken
later on. Hard as it may be to prevent
the form Of evil, it will be still harder
some day to do away with it. Nor is
it necessary to spoil baby IN order 10
gain his love. Spoiled children are,
perhaps, the most of all to be pitied,
tor they are so rarely happy.
1t is a problem, which an intelligent,
cUnsc entiOds mother alone can solve,
as how best TO train her own little ones,
for each child is 50 different from every
other. But do not allow them to tyran-
ize. Pet them and love them all that
you will, remember that they both
want and need your love; besides, they
appeal to you 50 entirely, that no true
mother could help but love them. But
do not allow them 50 be exacting.
For they will rule. these tiny things.

Where the Patents Come From.

Most OF the women inventors of the
country live in New England and the
Middle States. Few patents are taken
out by Southern women, but quite a
number come from the West. Massa-
chusetts Las more inventive ladies than
any other paft OF New England. Helen
Mari, of Boston, has invented a patent
dressing case and washstand combined,
Mrs. Carpenter has metal halter for
hitcnIng horses Oh the street, and Miss
Mary Barber, another Massachusetts
girl, has q patent pie-lifter, ley which
you can take pie from the baking pan
without burning your fingers. One of
the best cutting machines for trimming
the leaves of books Is the patent of a
Massachusetts lady named Semple, and
it is used by the leading publishers of
the country. There has been lots of
money made in ironing boards. a
Boston girl named Parker has kitchen
table and ironing board combined,
which can lie folded up and packed
away in a trunk. There are patent
beds by Massachusetts, ladies, patent
coIsets, patent griddle greasers, and a
hundred and one other new ideas put
into mercantile shape. Connecticut
women have invented duSt-pans, fire.
escapes, and there is one woman in
Providence, Rhode Island, who has a
patent chimney.

Professor Spring, of the University Of
Licge, has carefully Investigated the
question of the color of water, and has
reached some interesting conclusions.
According to him, absolute pure water,
when seen in masses Of sufficient thick
ness, is blue, and all the varieties OF color
exhibited in lakes and ST. cams arise from
the presence in the water Of mineral salts
Of different degrees Of solubility and in
VARYING quantities. Water containing
carbonate Of lime in 4 state of almost
complete solution remains blue, but IL the
solution Is less complete the water will
have a tinge ot green, which will grow
stronger rs the point Of precipitation is
lpproached. Professor Spring concludes
hat, if lime is added to blue water in
which so much carbonate of lime is al
ready dissolved that the point Of satura-
ton is approached, the water will become
green. In proof of this he cites the fact
that the water from the shores of lakes
aud seas, where it comes in contact with
limestone, is generally Of grceoeT hue
than elsewhere.-NGtuTs.
