THE YARD MEASURE.

1t Represents tie Exact Length OF the

Every one is acquainted with the ma
ture and utility of the yard measure. II
is the standard Of length in dozen diff
terent countries, regulating all other
msasarss, and, consequently, Is the
foundation Of business tssAssctsoRs and
professional operations oS many kinds.
10 high utility Is entirely dependent
upon Its Rxed and uniform dimensions
It would be In the Greatest degree In.
convenient and unsatisfactory II yard
In one country meant something en-
tirely different to that In q neighboring
country, especially would this Be true
did the different parts Of country pos.
sess different standards OF o yard meas
ure. Hence Il is necessary to have some
authoritative standard By which the
dimensions Of yard shall be accurately
adjusted, and according to which the
legality of any measurement may be de-
termined
Many curious particulars are con-
nected with the formation OF this au'
thoritative standard of this and many
other countries; few persons unac-
uuainted with the facts would have any
idea of the interest that was formerly
attached to such a common object In
the early history of Great Britain dis:
putes often arose in the measurement
of cloth, etG., shopkeepers practicing
rank frauds upon the simple:minded
people, To check this, Henry ]. ordered
a standard yard to be made and kept 81
Winchester, and decreed that 1t should
be of the length Of his own arm. This
was ''rough-and-ready' mode OF set
Ting the matter, one which presents
great contrast to the formation OF a
standard measure in this day and age.
The disadvantage attending it was that
in the event of the standard being lost
or destroyed, it would be next to impos'
sible to construct another OF precisely
the same dimensions. To avoid any
such difficulty a scientific basis hat
been taken for the formation Of the
standard measure. Plainly stated, this
basis is the exact length of the CLOCK
pendulum which vibrates the seconds o.
time at the great Greenwich observa'
tory, from which reckonings for nearly
all the world are made.
This may appear to some OF the 'Curl
Gus" to be a simple rule by which the
standard may be determined with com
parative ease; but, on the contrary, Il
was matter requiring minute and ac
curate research, which only mathematt
clans and astronomers are competent K
undertake.-St. Louis Republic.

such way ofexecuting criminals would

The poison above all others that l
think would give the best results as a
means OF execution is morphia If one
grain of morphia is injected into the
arm Of any ordinary NAN, the dose re-
peated an hour afterward, Fhe man
would pass away in a quiet sleep. He
would drop off into delicious siumber,
and from this painless Sleep there would
be no waking. OF course, If the man
vas addicted to the use of morphine,
such q course could not be pursued, OF
the dose would have to be enlarged.
sHydrocyanie acid, better known tc
the general public in the form OF prusslc
acid, is another poison that might be
utilized this way. 1t is probably the
most rapid of poisons. 1t is so deadly

corner of the room would, ! have been
informed, die before he could take two

would have convulSons, but he would

HAsnRes Wrought by the Event., In 50
Commerce OF Europe

HhanRea Wrought by the ENentt In She
Commerce OF EuE0pes
The maritime discoveries OF the Per.
tuTuese and the Spaniards ct this epoch
brought about an economic rel ol ution OF
a most remarkable character The sur
face of the world available for purposes
of trade was doubled, commerce was
turned into new channels, the medium
of exchange was increased fourfold.
These events were concurrent with
social changes which dissolved feudality
and established the basis of the modern
world. Under the feudal system the
greater part of Europe had been por-
toned out into large estates; only
quarter of the soil of France was oc-
cupied by the people, the rest was held
by the clergy and the nobility. On the
other hand, the large capitalist of
modern times had no existence. Trade
was almost exclusively in the hands OF
close corporations passing like inner
itances, from father to son, and
guarded by barriers of all kinds.
The two principal centers of commerce
were the shores of the Mediterranean
and the German nttoral from the
Scheldt to the Oder. Distribution of
commodities took place at the fair Of
Lyons on the one hand and at those OF
frankfort and Cologne on the other; but
it was hampered by tolls and customs
which had been established at every
available point. By the new discoveries
the Mediterranean ceased to be the prin-
cipal route of traffic to the Indies.
Seville, Lisbon and Antwerp, Rochelle,
Bristol and London succeeded to the in
herItanee of Venice, Genoa and Lubbock.
New products came into the market,
while the old ones, previously confined
to the few, became the property of the
many, But the greatest effect was pro
duced by the influx of the preciou;
metals, especially Of silver, which was
forty times as common as gold. Each
year during the latter half of the six
teenth century the mines OF Potos
brought into Spain at least two millions
worth Of silver. and those Of Mexico a

modities was increased skiold II

THE HERALD is truly gratified at
the interest manifested IN our "MOdel
Husband contest. It is the talk of
the county and by every mail we
receive substantial assurances of its
popularity. Through this and the
bond feature we have brought our
subscription list to a healthier con-
ditiOn than it ever was before; the
list is longer, leW names are more
frequent aud old Subscribers are bet
ter paid up than at any time since the
Oldest attache can remember. We
are not only glad of financial returns,
but we are proud OF the good we. are
doing. Many who have never writ
ten for q paper before, have been in
spired by the subject and the occasion
and encouraged by the strict conn"
dence with which their names will be
kept, to try Themselves; and the liter
airy success of their first venture we
know will move them to other efforts,
for they cannot go about much with
out hearing themselves cOmPli-
mented, and that by people who do
not dream the writer is listening.
Then too the moral tone of and the
good advice contained in the letters
cannot fail to have q salutary effect
upon many lord OF the manor. 1t
was the good we felt we were doing
in this last named instance, that per-
suaded US to decline a hundred dol
lars to close the contest, offered by a
man who said his wife compelled him
to listen to her read each and every
one of them, and stopped and empha-
sized the faults he had and the vir-
tues he did not have. Parties who do
not see their letters in print the week
they are sent need not become dis
heartened or alarmed; our space is
crowded at times, but all the letters
will appear in due season.
