On the other hand. these gentlemen

SEVEN QUEER cHILDnES.
PecuIiarities OF the offspring Of an
Ordinary Father and Mother.
TPhiladelphia Inouirer1


philadelphia Inquirer.l
People of Munson claim 10 have
among them the queerest family as to
physical peculiarity In the whole coun-
try. Jacob Hiers, a farmer in moder-
ate, circumstances has seven children.
The Oldest Is is, a bright boy, but hav-
ing thirteen fingers and thirteen toes
seven on one hand and six on the 9TH
er, his toes being similarly divided.
Next to him is another boy, IA years
old. As long as this boy Is quiet no one
would suppose he had any peculiarity,
but the moment he opens his mouth to
talk he loses all control Of his hands,
arms, feet and legs, and they jerk and
thrash and kick around as II they were
hung on wires.
The boy Is as slow of speech as his
limbs are active, and In answering
simple question 1t Is no uncommon
thing for his legs to have carried him
rod or more away before he is able to
articulate yes or no. The boy does not
seem to mind his affliction, and not
only does not hesitate to respond or try
to when he is addressed, but Is always
ready to begin a conversation on the
slightest excuse. He can be seen al
most any day arguing with or explain
ing some point to some companion,
who is kept constantly busy either in
avoiding the involuntary kicks or
blows of the boys sprightly feet or
in following him briskly to keep the
run Of the subject.
The third child is q girl, who is a
hunch-back and a dwarf. She is IL
years old. A boy next to her is deaf
and dumb. The fifth child has q bright
red birth mark encircling her neck like
a piece ofred flannel. 1t Is an inch and
a half wide. The other two children
are twins, 8 months old-a boy and q
girl The boys head Is covered with
hair enough for grown person, while
the girl twin hasn't the sign of q hair
upon the head, the little poll being as
white and shiny as billiard ball. The
girl Is fat and the boy lean. When the
boy laughs the little girl cries Justify,
and when his little sister Is merry the
boy sheds tears and yells.
Every one of these seven children Is
handsome and mentally bright. Mrs.
HERS is fine-lookifg woman, and her
husband is sound physically and men,
tally.

Concerning the Intrinsic Value of
Money.

II money must have instrinsic value,
1t Is evident that such value should be
equal TO the money value, else the diff
ference would have nothing TO sustain
IT. Silver and gold go up and down
in price, but the debt paying power Of q
dollar never changes. The number Of
grains In dollar have been changed
by law several times, but the power of
the dollar has remained the same. The
trade dollar of1873 contained 420 grains
and was current dollar. When de-
monetized, IL Is worth only ninety
cents; but the smaller standard dollar
Of 4l2l grains, was still worth dollar.
A pound Of copper Is worth twenty
cents. When coined into money 1t be-
comes legal tender for SLIGO. A pound
of the "nickep material Is worth about
seventy-five cents. Its money value Is
S.. How much intrinsic value must
money have to make 1t good? Money
is simply check issued by society. 1t
bears the stamp of the government to
show that 1t is genuine, and as mark
Of sovereignty. Il Is legal tender for
debt because the law so declares. Every
one honors it because he Is member
of, and has confidence in the firm that
issues 1t. Take the stamp off of 1t,
whether gold or paper, and 1t will
neither pay debts nor buy groceries.
Restore the stamp and you quicken it
with new life and start it on Its circuit
through the channels Of trade.-W. w.

ures, prepared from delicious fruits and
health-giving plants, one which would
be pleasant and refreshing to the taste,

tenn, the management very wisely con-
cluded to select the leading newspapers
Throughout the United States to make
known to the public the merits Of the
new remedy, Syrup of Figs. Recognize
ing the NORTHWEST as most valuable
advertising medium, arrangements
were made with it for the attractive
advertisement which appears in our
advertising columns. AS happens with
every valuable remedy, cheap substi-
tutes are being offered to the public,
but with the general diffusion ofknowl-
edge. it is becoming more difficult each
day to impose on the public. Health
Is too important to be trified with, and
reputable druggists will not attempt to
deceive the public, as they all know that
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the

A Wonder Worker,

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be, Con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.
He found, before he had used half of q
dollar bottle, that he was much better;
he continued to use it and is today en-
Toying good health. IF you have any
Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, try it.

The Athens Messenger asks Demo-
cratic contemporary to rise and tex
plain why, if the tariff is tax, can tin
plate be purchased cheaper to-day than
before the passage of the Mckinley
bill? And what is of equal, if not
greater, importance in this connection
Is that the plate is of American manu-
facture-made by tin plate plants es-
tablished since the passage of the lob
noxious" tariff act, and which in the
course of few years will give perma-
nent and profitable employment to
many thousands of our population.
How the people are being robbed by
our manufacturing barons.n
The above questions were not address
ed to the NORTHWEST, but the follow
ing clipping from the Republican
Chicago Tribune fits so nicely as an an
swer that we take pleasure in inserting
it:
A great flourish of trumpets recently
accompanied the exhibition in show
windows Of "tinplate made In Chica-
go,n which were said to be the first
beneficial fruits of the Mckinley bill.
But a careful examination Of the facts
shows that the new industry is yet of
diminutive proportions. The black
(iron) plates forming the basis of the
specimen tin plates were imported
from Europe, the pig tin was also inn
ported, and even the laborers who did
the dipping were imported. The only
manufacturing process performed here
was the melting of the tin and dipping
of the sheet into it. This simple and
inexpensive work was done by ''im-
ported labor" of the cheapest kind,
and the whole experiment was mere
flash in the pan, there being no works
now in operation, and not likely to be
any for some time. The whole thing thus
far is foreign and cannot be claimed to
be otherwise except by making false
pretenses.

MYTHS OF THE SEAS sALTNEss.
Some Very Interesting and Ancient
Beliefs.
iSt. Louis Rspublic.l

tSt. Louis Rspublic.l
There are hundreds of queer myths
and traditions given to account for the
fact that the sea is salt.
The Arabs say that when the first
pair sinned they were living In beau
tiiul garden on track of land Joined to
the main land by narrow neck or
isthmus. When it became known to
the Holy One that His people had
sinned he went to the garden for the
purpose of driving them out and across
the narrow neck of land into the patch
of thorn and brambles on the other
side. Anticipating what would be the
consequences of their heinous crime,
they had prepared to leave their beau
tiful garden and had actually gone so
far as to send the children and goats
across the thicket.
When the Holy One appeared on the
scene the first pair started to run. but
the woman looked back. For this the
man cursed her, and for such crime
was almost Immediately turned into o
huge block ofsalt. Compare with Gen
esis xix, 26.) The woman, more for
giving than her husband, stopped to
pick up the shapeless mass of salt, when
Immediately the narrow neck of land
began to crack and break. As she
touched what had once been her COM
panion she, too, was turned to salt just
as the neck of land sank and the waters
rushed through.
From that day to this. the Arabs say,
all the waters of the ocean have rushed
through that narrow channel at least
once year, constantly wearing away
the salt of what was once our parents,
yet the bulk of the two salty objects is
not diminished in the least.
The Pythagoreans believed that the
sea was made salty by the tears OF
Kronos, father of Zens. The Hebrew ex-
planatiOn is somewhat similar, though
more poetic. They believed that the
saltiness was caused by the tears OF
fallen angels.
