81 Never Scratch"

What class OF voters really exercis-
es the most influence in shaping the
affairs of this nation? Is it those
who never scratch ticket? Not by
any means. They exercise less inf1u-
ence than any other class of voters.
They are regarded as safe and sure
anyway, and no attention is paid to
them. Their wishes and desires are
entirely disregarded, for it is known
that they will take the dose no mat
ter how or by whom it is administer
ed. Attend a caucus OF party lead
ers once, and hear them discussing
their plans. You will very soon
learn that it is the man who scratches
that they most fear. They will speak
Of the utmost contempt, and curse
him viciouely, but he is the one they
take into consideration when they
make up their states and lay their
plans. They need his vote, and know
they cannot get it, unless they 40
things that he desires shall be done.
All know this is the truth. All par
ties placate him, and so manage mat
tiers as to get his support. Hence, we
think it very clear what class OF vot-
ers exercises the most influence. The
man who never scratches, but always
votes the same way under amy and all
circumstances, really has no vote so
far as tine influence of vote is con-
cerned his vote can be counted just
as well bef9re as after the election.
and their voting is simply matter OF
form. The real necessity OF the cleo
ton itself is to afford an opportunity
to count the doubtful voters, and at
ter all they are the ones who rule the
country, pravided there are enough OF
them to hold, the balance OF power

Some Facts About Tea.

Tea came into use almost by accident.
Some Buddhist priests, going on a mis-
sionary expedition from northern India
to China. took with them the dried
leaves and also some cuttings of an in
digenous shrub which was said to have
the power of correcting any injurious
properties i'm the brackish water they
might meet with on the way. The de-
coction thus made pleased the mission
aries SO well that they continued, as "A
matter of taste, to drink it after they
had reached China, and introduced it to
their converts. They also set about
planting the precious shruo and although
it did not thrive SO well i'm China as in it's
native Assam, becoming smaller both in
stem and leaf. it was SO well liked that
it soon formed the foundation of the
favOrite beverage of all China. Thence
it was brought to Europe, to be drunk
and desired by EngIishmen of every de-
gree. And it is only OF late years that
Assam tea has come into the European
market. to be looked upon rather sus-
piciously as the rival of its own degen-

What Are "Moreanatic" Marriages?


The term "morganatic," applied to
marriages, had it's origin in an ancient
custom by which the bridegroom on the
day after the wedding gave his bride a
morning gift-morganabe. In the case
of nobleman welded to a wife of low
estate this morning gift constituted the
wife's portion. or endowment, and from
this gift such marriages took the name
NOR anatica. The German law, continu-'
ing this tradition. allows the members of
the reigning house and certain noble
families to contract marriages in all re-
spect legal and valid, except that it gives
TO the partner of lower birth and to the
children no share in the rank. titles and
distinctions of the privileged house.
Such marriages have often been eminent
ly happy ones. -London Life.

A Dogs Curious Death.

Mr.. M. E. Batter, of Washington. this
county, owned large, unmanageable
and vicious dog. Last Tuesday while all
the men were at work in the field, the
brute made an attack on a young son of
Mr.. Butler. who happened to have in his
possession pitchfork with which to de-
fend himself. AS the dog jumped for
him the lad held out the fork. and the
animal jumped against the tines, one of
which penetrated the throat just under
the jaw, killing him instantly. The
death of the dog undoubtedly was the
salvation of the child. as there is no
doubt he would have killed him if he

Birds and Telegraph Wires.

1t has been supposed that birds become
accustomed to the presence of telegraph
wires, and are careful to avoid them in
flying. but it would seem either that this
is "A mistake. or that the birds on the
Scotch and English moors are less intelli-
gent than their fellows. Systematic OBJ
servatioT there along line of telegraph
wires has shown that great destruction
of bird life goes on throughout the year,
and that at certain seasons the roadside
is literally strewn with the remains Of
unfortunate grouse. black game par
fridge. ,snipe and other birds. Every
morning at dawn marauding bands of
rocks come from the lowland woods
to feast on the, dead and dying, and
the farmers and shepherds in the re-
gion declare that more grouse are killed
annually by the telegraph wires than by
all the sportsmen. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Case Of Mind Cure.

A correspondent of The Fairfield (Me.)
Journal gives the following instance of
mind cure in the early days of that
town: DIR. Thayer, who lived near what
was called the Back Meeting House. was
one of the best physicians in the county,
but his skill was no avail in the case of
his wife, who kept her bed for more
than two years. One day there was no
grown person about the house and her
little boy came running in with bad
cut on his finger or hand, bleeding pro-

Silver and Wheat.

Why has the price of wheat, cotton
and other farm products in the United
States declined 35 per cent, while the
burdens of mortgages and other obliga-
lions have continued to increase? The
answer is plain, and easy Of demonstra-
ton. Take, for example, the article of
wheat. Its price has been two rupees in
silver for more than twenty-five years
without any material change, except
slight fluctuations depending upon the
crop in particular years. Silver in the
silver standard countries has the same
purchasing power which it possessed be-
fore it was rejected as a money metal by
the western world Before silver was
demonetized rupee of silver was equiv
alent to forty-eight cents in gold, and
two rupees to ninety-six cents. A rupee
of silver is now worth but thirty-twO
cents. and two rupees sixty-four cents.
In all the silver standard countries
wheat is produced ON silver basis for
the same quantity of silver money as
formerly. while in the United States and
the Australian colonies wheat is pro-
duced on gold basis. The result is
that neither the United States nor Aus
tralia can compete with the silver stand
ard countries in the production of wheat.
To supply the deficiency in her home
production Europe obtains wheat from
the UniTeu States, Russia, India, the
Argentine Republic and the Australian
colonies. ,r,sar6fR to mara ,i.Y.., ..sd
In 1880 the United States contributed
60 per cent. of the aggregate furnished
by the countries named; since which
time. the proportion furnished by
the United States has been constantly
declining, until in the year 1899 the
United States contributed less than %
per cent. of the total from the countries
while the exports from India.
Russia and the Argentine Republic, the
silver standard countries, were vastly in
creased. The export from the Austria
liam colonies in 1880 was 100000 bush
els, while in 1889 it was only four and
one-half million bushels. So long as the
United States adheres to the gold stand
ard, and produces wheat with dear
money to sell in competition with Russia,
India and the Argentine Republic, which
maintain the silver standard, our farm
ers must sell in Europe for the price of
Indian wheat-two rupees, or sixty-four
cents in gold.-Senator w. NJ. Stewart
in DelfOrd's.

Night.

About siXty-fve relatives and friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Elwel,,
gathered at their home, No. ia Bank
street, Friday night, to celebrate the
fourtieth wedding anniversary of the
couple. Pretty flowers about the room
added their fragrance to o scene cf
beauty that will not soon be forgotten
by those privileged to be present. Mr.
and Mrs. Elwell received the con-
CALCULATIONS of their guests as they
arrived early in the evening, and the
remainder of the time was given up to
social pleasure and conversation.
Persons were present from all about
South Jersey, Philadelphia and the
West. Nearly all were relatives of the
family, and the gathering of these was
especially pleasant to them.
Later in the evening a superb cola
tion was served in the dining rooms,
by Caterer G. H. Barnes.
A large number of very pretty and
valuable presents were received by the
couple who have lived so many years
in the married state. The guests left
at very late hour wishing their hos

life and continual happiness and pros.
