AN old friend of ours-Dr John
E. Edwards, writes thus of his exper-
fence with the La Grippe:
"Have you had La Grippe-the
Russian Grippe? If not, then there
is an experience to which you are
happily stranger. am just now,
after ten days experience OF this cruel,
merciless malady, beginning to sit up,
with barely strength enough to use
my pen. 1t came upon me rather un-
expectedly. With very little Fremont
ton it pounced on me like hungry,
ravenous vulture. 1t struck its talons
in the back of my neck, and then drove
its iron beak into the small of my
back, then it clamped my head in its
voracious jaws, and after shaking
me, and pulling me this way and that,
it left me helpless and PROSTATE. The
last particle of muscular strength was
gone, and was as helpless as babe.
l could no more support myself IN an
upright position than bag Of sand.
At night could not sleep. If / dozed

Wrinkle is reported to have slept.
What visions / had in the short in.
tervals of unconsciousness. Dragons,
hobgoblins, serpents, sea-monsters
beasts of prey, disported themselves
before my startled gaze. All the
angles of geometry, all the figures OF
trigonometry, all the algebraic signs
and all other conceivable and non-con
ceivable shapes, figures, colors, i'm
ages-every thing included in the
widest phantasmagoria-all passed
in rapid review before me. An hour
sometimes in the night seemed like a
segment of eternity. The thought Of
food was nauseating. / found my

II this congress fails to provide
more adequate volume of money it is
safe to say that the financial question
will reappear in politics and exert
powerful influence on the next cleo
ton. The pinch for money is becop-
Ing so great that general recognition
of the absolute necessity for a greater
volume of it must soon be forced. For
years now when we have been cnorm-
ously charging expanding business
and increasing in population we have
been contracting our Gu renty, whereas
it should have been materially increas-
ed volume. The result has been that
the value of money has steadily risen;
its scarcity has given to the dollar bill
an unusual and unnatural value. The
increase in the value of the dollar is
only another name for the fall in the
prices of commodities. These COM
modities, except those controlled by
trusts and monopolies, have fallen
year by year, and the greatest decrease
has been in farm produce because the
farmer has not been as able to resist
the tendency as other classes. A dol
lar will now purchase nearly twice as
much farm produce as it WOULD ten
years ago. The farmers income has
therefore been greatly curtailed.
But the feature of the shrunker
money supply which is worst of all
is the crippled condition in which il
leaves the debtor class. How are they
to pay their debts? Certainly only il
money. How can they get money
Certainly only by selling something
What shall they sell? Is it cattle? L
so, the herd won't bring what it ones
would. 1t requires more cows anC
calves to pay a $1,000 debt THAI
when the debt was contracted. Is i
corn or wheat? 1t takes vastly NOR
grain to pay off the debt than when i
was contracted. Is is farm? Well
have farms increased in value Will
grain and live stock have been falling
Of course, to say that the grea
shrinkage in the value of the circu
lating medium has crippled and i

it by playing spot-barrcd matches, and none other'
or almost none.
His superiority at pyramids, though decisive, IS
necessarily much less than at the all-ronnu
billiards. He gives his best opponent one pail
Pyramids, however. seem to offer the only chance
of a match in America. The American game OF
billiards which il not American, but trench IS
so entirely unlike the English that the champion
at either would be completely at the mercy OF
the other on his own table | suppose Schaehcr
could give Roberts 500 in 900 on French

least as much on an English table. The table,
the balls, the cues and the game are all different,
and no real test of skill at billiards between two
experts at two games so totally unlike is posi-
bic. What Roberts now proposes is to play any,
body in America at pyramid pool; two sets OF
games one on an American and one on an English
games on both TO win the match. II is not good
match, but it is better than nothing and perhaps
the best thai can he made.
More interesting still, should say. will be the
opportunity of seeing the English game played
by its most brilliant practitioner. II is agreed
that at this game nobody ever equalled, or ap-
preached, Roberts. But the game seems to he
unknown in America, and the rudiments of II VIII
have to be acquired before the spectator can appre-
ciate his skill. knowledge Of French billiards
is not enough. The mysteries Of the losing hazard
must be mastered and some practical knowledge
of the difficulties presented by the greater size
of the tables and the smaller size of the balls
ought to be obtained also. Perhaps it will then
occur to the amateur that this is for him better
