Counterfeit CoHae

Tho potteries in New Jersey exhibit
an ingenuity and enterprise not always
to be seen in protected industries.
They have just begun the manufacture
OF a useful new article which is certain
TO supply long-felt want. This is the
bogus coffee-bean. 1t has always been
hard to adul'erate coffee. The man
who bought whole. unground coffee
has always felt pretty certain that he
was getting straight unadulterated
goods. They might cheat him on
ground coffee, but they couldn't on
this. The ingenuity OF the New Jersey
potteries has overcome this difficulty.
The bogus coffee bean is m de OF clay,
and is so exactly like it in size, shape.
smell, and color that it cannot be de-
tected from the genuine coffee with
which it Is mixed. 1t costs but trifle
to make it. 1t is made from refuse
material unfit for anything else, and
can be supplied to dealers in any guam.

Varying Value OF Silver.

Silver. in its relative value to gold
has varied greatly at different times
In the days OF the patriarch Abraham
it was to / b. c. 1000 it was II to / ;
Is. G. 500 IL was Is to l, and Mt the
commencement OF the Christian era it
was TO l. la the year so A. ID. it
was Is to |; in Hoo it was 10 /, and
in 400 it WIS IL to 1.
In 1854 gold was only six times more
valuable than the precious white met
al, silver, and within the next hun
dred years two pounds of silver could
be exchanged evenly for one OF gold.
In 1909 gold was again worth ten
times as much as its paler brother In
1925 gold was thirteen times more val
liable than silver, just as it was 500
years B. c. At the beginning of the
present century it had risen in value
to Il higher point than ut any time
since 500 A. d.. being fifteen times
more valuable than silver In 1876
the ratio OF silver to gold was twenty
to one, and in 1885 it was at the high
est point ever known since which
time it has gradually declined to
twenty to one.

School Book Uniformity.

other days no scholar was more aggressive
than the Saracen, but he fell into the fatefpl

has uniformity in plows and mills for grinding
meal. uniformity in prayers and physic, and In

school will find the same books in Cairo and in
Bagdad-the same books for reading, mathe-
mates, law and medicine. This is the blessing
sought for Iowa! Iowa does not want II. 1t
is trogression-inimical to our thought, our
genius, and our spirit. 1t has no strength, no
push, no progress. Let us make a stranger OF
It-shut and bolt our doors against II, and vel
come every animated step of progress Admit,
for the argument that 1t might cost less.-So
II does in China, where every book and every
pair of pants and every coat and queue is pat

at what q cost in human progress
Let the uniformity qestion alone. Let it go

school books surely. Books cost too much, we
hear. Perhaps,-and yet the best school book
is the cheapest thing we buy. 1t is cheaper
than tea and coffee, why not cry for uniform
ity anu state supply in those articles. lhe
farmer would get them at less cost. The school
book is cheaper than tobacco aud cigars-cost
the farmer less,-why not demand uniformity
In what we smoke and snuff and chew! There
are more dollars and cents going into the weed
than into school books-let's have cigars made
uniform and regulate the price of plug. 1t costs
more than school books. School books are
cheaper than rum or beer,-let's make that UNI
form; cheaper than clothing, boots and shoes,
let's go into the uniformity business all over
or not at all. But why assail school book
prices when properly restricted as they might
he, and pass by greater thingsi Leave the To-
cal authorities some option. Let the state SUI
perintendent and his aids attend to books and

abandon the uniformity and state publishing
idea. 1t is a sort of trust that leads 70 sure

midas DEADLY COBRA.
1t's Poison Said to be an Antido
for ChoIara

/ us fOISOn Saio TO Dc an Anita Ot9
| for Cholera.
Modern research has disproved the
poetic fiction of Shakespeare that .the
toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a
precious jewel In his head" We know
now that the toad is not venomous,
and that he wears no jewel. But we
shall be permitted to draw from the
domain OF natural history an equally
striking illustration OF the law Of COM
pensation. il the theory of French
physician, residing at Calcutta, turns
out to be founded in fact This disci-
pie OF Esculapius believes that he has
| discovered remedy for the cholera in
the poison OF the COBRA the most
deadly OF the reptile tribe. The mode
Of application which he proposes is in
lection.
People will probably DO 10th to be
among the frs. upon whom the new
remedy Is tried, but II it shall turn out
that the reptiles OF India can be put to
any use in saving human life, the dis
covery will constitute an excuse for the
existence OF what has heretofore SEEM
ed an unmitigated curse Statistics
collected by the British government in
India show that the number OF people
killed by snake bites in British India
alone is in the neighborhood OF 10000
per year. Sir Joseph Fayrer, in a pa
per in the Nineteenth Century for De-
cembcr, expr sses the opinion that
snake poison kills by extinguishing in
some way the source Of nervous ener-
gy. causing paralysis, particularly OF
the respiratory organs. No physiolo-
gical antidote for the bites OF Indian
snakes is known, the only successful
treatment being such as prevents the
poison from entering the system-as
ligatures above the wound; excision,
burning. or the application of potas-
SUM permangandte. Lately an effect
i've way of keeping snakes out of hous-
IS has been discovered, namely. the
laying of positive and negative cleo
trio wires parallel to each other across
the sill of every door and window.
Which a snake attempts TO enter the
house, his body establishes a circuit,
and he is either killed or frightened
away. This protection. however, can
be afforded only by tho wealthy.
To secure the determination of the
poisonous snakes. the government has
for years paid bounty for every one
that was killed. II the French doc
tors remedy works, tho carcasses,
which have heretofore been altogether
worthless, may possibly be partially
utilized.
