RECENT computations from those in
Official relations to government finances
give the total of the coin and paper
money now in circulation in this coun-
try as S1,435, 600, 900, or about 5000 per
capita. The corresponding figures show
that Great Britain has slightly less, and
Germany a small percentage more.
France, on the other hand, is given $751;
SO, more than double that of the United
States. France is d conservative nation
in financial management, and it has not
been alleged that its currency is unrea-
sonably inflated. 1t is an old country,
with its IL developed in a great
measure and does not afford the oppor-
%tunities for the USE of capital found in
this new world, with its vastly greater
geographical extent. The masses OF
France have more of the property of the
country than in any other European land

IN SESSION..

Congress met yesterday and apparently
commenced work in earnest from the
start. Several bills were introduced and
among them half a dozen providing for
the free coinage of silver. The presi-
dents message was heard and the repub-
licans proceeded at the first opportunity
offered to hold caucuses. 1t is evident
that the g. o. 2. has not learned well
the lesson of the staggering defeat OF
Nov. 4. They propose to proceed with ex-
tremely partisan legislation and if the
presidents advice is taken the unnecces-
sary and burdensome taxes imposed upon
the people by the Mckinley bill will be
allowed to stand. The voice of the peo-
pie in this matter, so clearly asserted in
November, is to be wholly disregarded.
The republican senators decided yester-
day IN their caucus deliberations that the
election bill should be taken up at once
and passed and if the democratic minor
ity should assert their rights the Reed
gag system would be at once applied.
Here is another measure odious to the
q, people, but the republicans seem to be in
a state of desperation at present and
ready to go to any extreme.
1t seems pretty clear that
between this time and March 4th next,
when the tifty-frst congress will die a
natural and deserved death, the admins
tration party will make it an easy matter
for the democr rats to sweep the country
} again in 1899. Such partisan Legislation
as is contemplated in the election and APP
p]ortionment bills will do the work nicely.
The determination. too, to maintain the
b%urdensome and odious tariff tax, as
embodied in the Mckinley act, Will prove
disastrous to that party.
Altogether the prospects are rather
gloomy for the republican brethren at
Washington and there was not much
hllarity among them yesterday. 1t is
fortunate for the country that they have
but three months in which to outrage
public sentiment.

Buoyed mid the watery wilderness; wan,

Horned things ahholred and shapes intolerable,
Fixing glazed lidless eyes swan up to me,
And pushed me with their SHOUTS, and coiled and

Velocity of the Fly.

A psychologist in France has been OBJ
serving the work Of flies in flying, and
somehow has arrived Mt the conclusion
that the wings of a fly make about $50
beats per second, and that such a fly can
travel ut the rate Of a kilometer per
minute. This is equal to the velocity Of
an express train. Assuming this to be
50, then a fly could compass the earth'a
circumference in twenty-eight days

The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1890-08-15

Have you ever overheard the con-
versation of number of small boys
who, firing OF peel away" and 'ssting
goal, have seated themselves upon a
curbstone TO cool off 1t is study.
They invariably talk of their respect
i've fathers. and the evident desire of
each is to place his own particular pa
ternal parent upon the highest pima
Gle MY father knows more than
yours, says one boy to another,
''cause he's newspaper mamie
writes for the paper" The other boy
shifts contemptuously and says:
"Huhi he don't write any, he gets adj
vertisements. That's what my pa
says" Then the first boy gets back
with: Maybe he does, but he gets
free tickets to the theatre, just tl.e
same" This is usually a crusher. as
boys do not usually see anything
above free theatre tickets. A third boy
boasts that his pa is on the board OF
trade and that he has often accompan-
led him there, while fourth boys pa
is in a railroad office and can ride
without paying. So the youngsters
go on, while their fathers hustle for
them, and the .'old gents would all
feel proud If they knew what enthusi.

Points About the Hair nru.h,

There is another consideration in con-
nection with the use of the hair brush
which, though it may scarcely need men
ton, should not be overlooked. The
brush should be kept clean. 1t gives
one shudder to see the brushes and
combs that are sometimes supplied at
places of public resort. No one should
ever think of using public hair brush
any more than a public tooth brush, un-
less it becomes matter of absolute ne
cessity; but the fact remains that the in.
dividual article requires to be properly
cared for, else it becon. es an instrument
of danger rather than delight.
IF the case is not very aggravated the
bristles may be washed in lukewarm
water, to which a few drops of ammonia
can be added. This will clear away the
accumulated dust and dirt as by magic
The bristles can be rinsed in pure water
and allowed to dry in an airy place; the
brush should not be exposed to the sun,
nor should the back of it be wet at any
time. Soda and soap soften the bristles,
and if the back of the brush be of ivory
it will turn yellow by their application
For general use it is better economy tc
buy cheap brush, and, after using it
for reasonable time, throw it into the
fire and start afresh. Good Housekeep-
ing.

No Eatlne with the Knife.

A well known Chicagoan recently
spent Sunday in the insane asylum
at Kankakee. He went there to see
one of the patients, and he took dinner
with him, occupying seat at one of
the tables set apart for mild eases. !"
During the progress of the meal pa
tient at another table arose, carefully
deposited his napkin at the side of his
plate, and, walking over to the next
table. caught another patient with a
powerful uppercut under the ear
''There9" he cried, ''thatll teach you
better than to eat with your knife" In
a moment more the aggressor was
seized by alert attendants and hurried
away to his own room. Ii was ex-
planned that this was his one hallucina-
ton. He became wild whenever he
saw a man eating with his knife. On
his way back on the train the Chicago
visitor thought what an awful task
this poor fellow would have if he were
allowed to eat in certain local restau-
rants and hotels, where at least half of
the guests are known in the vernacu-
lar as Sword swallowers. Chicago

Made wealthy by a whippinr.

John James Mago, millionaire who
lives nine months of the year in Paris, is
the hero of curious story. 1t is related
of him that fifteen years ago he was
British vice consul at San Jose, Guate-
mala, and a poor man. One day native
commandant, who was running the port,
ordered that he be given 100 lashes for
some fancied insult. The vice consul
was lashed accordingly. Later the Brit
ish government stepped in and ordered
that Mago be paid $500 for every lash.
Guatemala was glad enough to pay the
money, which made the vice consul a
comparatively rich man. Having more
ready money than any one else in the
country, President Barrios entered into
partnership with him. Mago became a
large coffee planter and dealer and also
was given exclusive franchises for build
ing docks in the ports, out of which he
made great deal of money. His fortune
is now estimated at $1,000, ,00o.-New
