Currency Question
Wills POINT, TEX, Aug. IA, 1891.

Editor Gazette.
Some days since l noticed two communi-
cations from Mineola as to the proper in
vestment of the public school, fund which
have not received proper attention from the
public While l do not agree with the
writer's views, believe he is doing good
work in calling public attention to the
proper investment of that fund. My opin-
ion is the proper course for the state to
pursue would be to turn the whole into coin
and issue bills two for one and reduce in
terest to per cent. There is no ex-
cuse for scarcity of money in Texas.
In the way 1 have indicated we
can secure a local currency as
good as greenbacks, and one which will
make its center at home and not in New
York. As Harry Tracy says of the sub
treasury, so am l by this state system of
banking; the details can be amphfed later
on. l re-affir1n. however, that this ques-
ton is one needing the light of public dis
cussion. How would it DO for you through
your excellent paper to solicit the matured
views of the various county judges Qfs1lGj

Remarkable GROUP Of Mines.

A group of old Spanish or Aztec mines
has recently been discovered at Las
Placitas, about twenty miles from Al
buquerque, New Mexico. An extensive
system of underground work has been
brought to light. The mineral discov-
cred, while not of the highest grade, is
rich enough to pay handsomely and runs
generally from $50 to $50 to the ton.
But what is more interesting is the fact
that these explorations have developed
u~nmistakable evidences that the work on
these mines, which was performed, no
body knows how many centuries ago,
was brought to a summary conclusion by
an earthquake or general upheaval of
ONE sort. Not only all the mine work.
ings, smelters, furnaces, ETC., were
buried under some fifteen feet of earth,
but there has also been found. on the
same level the ruins of what was once an
aqueduct for bringing water to the camp
from a source about ten miles distant.
The camp of Las Plactias is ou the east
ern slope of the Scandal Mountains, about
twenty miles from Albuquerque, and
promises to become one Of the most in-
teresting fields of archaeological research

Overcome with Joy at the return Of his
valuables the Persian presented the young
fellow with the ring.

Mrs. Dudley was the first European

Ambrington received his letters and
presents back. They made nearly a car
load. He reciprocated by packing her
tender missives, etc, into an envelope.
Ambington always was a fool, and with
in three years after coming into his
estate he had acquired the reputation of
being the most gullible spendthrift in the
service. But he had had a most sincere
admiration for Mrs. Dudley, who was
really a charming oma Her actions
in public were, however, such, OCCASION
ally, us to give rise to unpleasant
remarks. But she was simply thought
less.
One day Captain Dempster made a re.
mark to Ambrington to the effect that
the latter was neglecting a sweet girl in
England for the sake of a woman who
could not begin to compare with her.
Ambrington was nearly drunk at the
time, and he made a scene. Next norm
ing his friend received his deputies, and
they met early on the following day,
pistol in hand. There they stood facing
each other, each ready to kill the other.

Two shots rang out almost simultane-

They thought at first that he had been
MORALLY wounded, but he wasn't. The
bullet had squarely hit a ring in his
watch pocket, and had driven It into his
chest with such force that it broke one
of his ribs and imbedded itself in the
muscles.
OF course after one of the combatants
had been hurt they were in honor bound
to be good friends, in token whereof
Ambrington eventually gave the ring to
Dempster.

Longevity of loads.

Some toads have a peculiar gift OF
long life without sustenance Of any kind,
and with a very small supply of air; but
the alleged instances of their being
found embedded in solid stone or the
heart of a tree, with no possible com
munication with the external world, are
declared upon good scientific authority
to have doubtless arisen from error of
observation. Experiments in connection
with tho so-called antediluvian toads
show that toads cannot usually survive
ever a year when deprived Of food and
air. The toad has been known to live
thirty-fve or forty years, and it is
thought to attain a considerably greater
age; it has been so far tanned as to come
and feed from the hand, and it seems to
be capable of attachment to man. From
their fondness for insects toads make ex-
cellent traps for use by the en-
tomologists, who may thus procure rare
beetles and nocturnal insects which they
could not otherwise get, as the toads a

Gardeners often put them into hot.

The Value of Sleep.

General Lord Wolseley, England's
leading soldier, is a man of simple and
absteminous habits, and is an emphatic
advocate of sleep. When he is his own
master he goes to rest between 10 and
IL and is up before 6. He is a sound
sleeper aud can sleep at almost any time
and under any circumstances, which is,
no doubt, one great secret of success,
for in war, as in politics, the man who
cannot sleep might as well retire from
the running. "You cannot put in your
time more probably than in sleeping"
Lord Wolseley says, and the saying is
n that may well be taken to heart by
all hard workers. AS long as you can
sleep you can always renew your
strength. 1t is when sleep fails that
your balance at the bank of life is cut
otf.-Best Things.

Do the robins all come homer
Here's a nest upon a bough,

If from some far land we came
We should all the home nest know,
Even were it filed with snow.
There are blue eyes that we miss
In the flush Of violet time;
Something lacking in the bliss
Ofthe bird-bells' sweetest chime:
In the heart are many spots
Sacred to forget-me-nots.

Through some treasure on your knee,
Still the heart will prove a lack,
Lovely though the Guild may be;
Forif itso needeth you,
You still need your mother, too.

Come back with these later ones,

There will be no missing tones

DREAM OF THE SEA.

A farmer lad in his prairie home
Lay dreaming Of the sea;
He ne'er had seen it, but well he knew
Its pictured image and heavenly hue;
And he dreamed he swept Ger its waters
blue.
With the winds a-blowing free,
With the winds so fresh and free.
He wokel and he said: "The day will come
When that shall be truth to me-" =
But as years swept by him he always found
That his feet we're clogged and his hands
were bound,
Till at last he lay in a narrow mound,
Affair from the sobbing sea,
The sorrowing, sobbing sea.
Oh, many there are on the plains tonight
That dream of a voyage to be,
And have said to their souls: The day will
come
When my bark shall sweep through the
drifts of foam"
But their eyes grow dim and their lips grow
dumb,
Afar from the tossing sea-,
The turbulent, tossing sea.

The Curve Of Health.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes has made
a discovery. II is that of the law of the
curve of health. SIT is a mistake" he
says, ''to suppose that the normal state
of health is represented by a straight
horizontal line. Independently of the
we'll known causes which raise or deprcss
the standard of ~vitality-there seem to
be, I think may venture to say there is
ID rhythmic undulation in the flow Of
vital force. The dynamo which fur
nishes the working powers Of conscious
ness and action, has its annual, its
monthly, its diurnal waves, even its mo-
mentary ripples, in the current it fur
nishes. There are greater and lesser
curves in the movement Of every days
life-a series of ascending and of de-
scending movements, a periodicity de-
pending on the very nature of the force
at work in the living organism. Thus
we have our good seasons and our bad
seasons, u good days and our bad days,
life climbing and descending in long OF
short undulations, which l have called
the curve of health. Frop this fact
spring a great proportion Of the errors of
medical practice. On it are based the
decisions of the various shadowy systems
which impose themselves on the ignor-
ant and half-learned public as branches
or schools of science. A remedy taken
at the time of the ascent in the curve of
health is found successful. The same
remedy taken while the curve is in its
downward movement proves a failure.
So long as this biological law exists, so
long the charlatan viii keep its hold on
the ignorant public. So long as it ex-
lists, the wisest practitioner will be liable
to deceive himself about the effect OF
what he calls, and loves to think are, his
remedies

The Thermometers.

Hero of Alexandria, who lived about
1870 years b. c., is said 10 have been the
inventor Of an instrument for measuring
the heat or cold of the atmosphere,
which instrument continued in use until
about the close OF the sixteenth century.
1t was then reduced 70 a more convenient
form by one Sanctouio, an Italian, and
was afterwards considerably improved,
especially by Fahrenheit, who, la 1920,
affixed the graduated scale and added
other details which chiefly tended to
render the Thermometer the Instrument
Of practical utility which it now is.n-

cotton comes the news that the planters
are preparing to decrease the acreage of
that staple aud diversity their crops to a
greater extest than heretofore. This de-
termination iAthe result of the low price
for the neecy staple the present season.
This is a Mise moVe on the part of the
planters, as nothing tends more to keep
the farmer poorer than the one-crop sys-
tenn. If the low price of cotton has had
the effect indicated above, it has at least
taught the planteea wholesome lesson.
