Ny Dear Sir: Yours of yesterday is
just received, and seizing passing

ton you ask is one raised by the peo-
pies party, and is stirring the gold
standard advocates to question the
correctness of our statements, ''that
there has been great contraction of
the currency since 1866" Their organs
assert that instead of contraction
'there has been gradual expansion"
and that to-day we have more money

No Evidence to the Cotrary.

A young Catholic priest, shortly
after beginning his labors in his

one OF the older fathers. Anxious
to show the progress he had made,
he called up class in catechism

Pensioners in the Lodges.

Investigations made in a COM
paratively few localities lead to the
belief that many of those who are
carried on the pension rolls as dis
eased are members of benevolent
insurance companies, which they
could have entered only on affida-
Wits that they are sound in body.
The matter is one of very consider
able Importance at time when the
expense for the single item Of pen
sions is about to reach $15O,OOO,OOO
a year.
In all such cases it is demon
strated beyond question that the
pensioner who is carrying life IN
surance in the benevolent societies
has perjured himself in one direc'
ton or the other; and that he has
through this perjury committed 9
fraud either on the members OF hls
lodge or on the government.
While the Pretorian influence Is
so strong that even such an expo
sure might not result in purgine

no doubt that it would make volc

Beautifying Body.

Body requires no special thought
given to it, and needs no particular
care beyond that needed for clean
illness. Our care should be to have
our habit of thinking of a spiritual,
pure and fearless nature; to have
thoughts of health, strength and
goodness, with the understanding
that these conditions (health and
strength) are spiritual, as life ia
spiritual, that they are not material.
The manifestation of so-called ma
terial health must surely follow
care taking, to think only those
things which are altogether lovely
and true. Body will express just
the nature of your thinking; it will
manifest health, strength, harmony
and beauty, if you are in thought
what you should be. In this way,
by right thinking, we are to care
for the body; in this way and ONLY
in this way can we take good care
of it, however much thought and
labor may be bestowed directly
upon it. We care for body when
we are pure and fearless in thought,
and when our thoughts are the op-
posite to this, We neglect body, or
positively abuse it. If you will by
pure thinking beautify your ma
terial body, so-called, you are priv
ileged to beautify it lavishly. II
your thoughts are beautiful, pure
and harmonious, your body, which
is but the expression of your mode
of thinking, will also be beautiful
and harmonious. Body expresses
the man (mind) }, so each person's
character is proclaimed for those
to read it who are able to do so.
"How can a man be concealed?" l
trust this better way of caring for
the body will be satisfactory to all
persons, especially to those who
appear to think it almost sacrile-
gious that scientists should give 50
little special time and thought to
body and devote so much time to
having mind right. Since body 10
the expression for mind it is moth
ing more nor less than common
sense, to change mind would we
change its expression, body. Better
mind, would you better body, for
it is not possible to improve it in
any other way.-Ex.

Solid Comfort at Last for Bald Heads.

The skin-grafting physician Of
Reading, DR.. Ege, who has success
fully demonstrated by practical
tests that it is possible to turn
black man white, has made known
his real object in conducting these
experiments. The doctor does not
think that there are any colored
people in the world who would be
foolish enough to submit to the
skin-grafting torture in order to be
classed with the white folks, but he
does claim that thousands OF bald
headed people are willing and anx-
ious to wear a genuine head OF hair.
This can be accomplished by the
skin-grafting process. Or. Ege
stoutly asserts that a bald head can
be covered with scalp, teeming with
healthy hair. He has several let
ters in his possession from persons
anxious to undergo the operation.
The wonderful process opens up
a world of possibilities. The sem
sitive red-haired man could trade
scalps with some black-headed per-
son who is anxious to get rid of q
cowlick. Dame Fashion might de-
cree that polka dot was the proper
caper in hair and the new process
would be a harbor for the ultra
fashionable. Again, by utilizing
the hide of a blue skye-terrier the
Fourth of July orator could make
an impression upon his hearers by
wildly tearing out handfuls OF red,
white and blue NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Spiders.

It is very seldom that any small
insect escapes from the web OF q
spider, q fact which is not to be
wondered at when it is considered
that an ordinary sized snare may
contain as many as 10000 viscid

engaged in repairing injuries to the
web inflicted by wind, stray leaves
or captured insects. Once q day
the whole snare is subjected to rig
orous examination, and any broken
or loosened threads are adjusted.

Crisp's election was received at Atlanta
with great rejoicing. Tho rotunda Of
the Kimbali House was filled with citi-

minutes from the telegraph Office near
by. Enthusiasm knew no bounds, and
tho hotel was crowded by the rejoicing
citizens as late as midnight.
Possibly greater interest was felt in
Mr.. Crisp's candidacy in Atlanta than
in any other city, North or South. He
was known personally to most of Allan
tans, and they felt an interest in him as
friend and as Georgian. There was
no public demonstration, but the en-
thusiam was unbounded.
AT Americas, Mr.. Crisp's old home.
the demonstration was greatest. The
little city was painted q deep vermil-
lion, the fire bells were rung, and the
steam whistles blew. He is immensely
popular At home. Thousands of his adj
mirers in that section went wild over
his election, and many congratulatory
messages were sent him. His constitu-

Georgia heart pine, a gavel. which is to
be finished in most artistic manner
and presented to the new speaker. 1t
will be presented to him as soon as
