ton, were redeemed by the issue of
new silver certificates III their places.

When Is the Prime of Life?

Rev. A. G. Thompson thinks he has
found it for himself at his present age
1t may be remarked that Mr.. Thompson
is eighty years old. He has written a
charming little book called "Our Birth
days." in which he shows the utter folly
of becoming helpless old idiot at any
age short of, say, 100. Good will, cheer
fulness and the sense of humor together
constitute the magic potion which this
old boy recommends for warding off age.
He reminds us that at seventy-one
years of age John Wesley wrote of him
self that his eyesight was better and hi,
nerves were firmer than they had been
thirty years before. He had just the
same strength that he had thirty years
before, with none of the infrmities of
age and with entire freedom from sew
eral that he had known in his youth. It
is interesting to learn that Wesley at
tributed part of this good health to ris-
ing at 4 in the morning for fifty years
and never travelling less than $500 miles
year. We also find that he regards
preaching at o'clock in the morning as
zone of the most healthy exercises in the
world" Perhaps some of our American
ministers would like to try it as means
of warding off old age.
From the multitude of examples
brought to our notice by Mr.. Thompson
we conclude that the prime of life is any
where between 70 and 100. One has
only to keep up his active interest in
human affairs, and he will remain young
while he lives, Mr.. Thompson believes.

Silver in the Next CONGRESS-

Matthew Marshall, of New York city,
writes in The Sun something about the
composition Of the Fifty-third congress
as to the silver question. He says:
A possible effect of the failure of the Brus-
sells conference to recommend any other than
palliative measures for the benefit of silver
may be to renew the struggle in this country
for the restoration of the free and unlimi. ed
coinage of the metal, and its consequent sub
stitution at the ratio Of sixteen to one for gold
In this part OF the country public opinion is so
overwhelmingly against the measure that it i,
difficult for us to conceive of its adoption, and
we therefore undcrrate the strength of the
support it commands in sections where nearly
everybody Is interested in getting high prices
for the product of his industry and in paying
lis debts as cheaply as he can
Out of the forty-four states of the Union
twenty-six are predominantly agricultural or
mining states, and are besides largely in debt to
eastern and European creditors. The remain
ing eighteen states, comprising the six New
England states and the states of New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Minnesota, are engaged more in
manufacture and commerce, with the result
that they are richer and possess a great stock
of accumulated capital. No accurate estimate
can be made of the proba BILE vote of the repre-
sentatives in the next congress, but roughly
speaking the twenty-six agricultural and min
ing states will have 140 members who can be
counted on to vote for free silver, and the re-
naming eighteen states will have 1872 members,
part of whom may be counted on to do the
same.
In the senate the twenty-six agricultural and
mining states will have fifty-two senators
against the thirty-six senators from the other
eighteen states. If, therefore, the silver mon
can win q votes from among the 1872 uncertain
representatives, they will have majority in
the house as well as in the senate, and the only
obstacle to free coinage will be President
Cleveand's veto.

sinfalness OF the swsllowt.il.

We are told that In some parts of thh
great country the inhabitants regard o
swallowtail coat as such badge Of
offensive plutocracy that il any man
wore one Of an evening in their neigh
borhood they would wish to shoot him
on the spot. A man might own race
horse that cost $25, 900 or even private
car, but neither would arouse the indig-
nation in their souls that the sight of O
gentleman in evening dress would.
They are quite right. There is some
thing inherently diabolical and not to
be tolerated in the swallowtail coat. 1t
is an engine in the hands of the pluto.
Gratis to Cypress the toiling and moiling
masses. It is true the wearer of this
sign of total depravity may toll and .noil
for his living as hard as anybody, say
ten hours day at least, longer if he is
a newspaper man. When evening comes
and he would go to his best girl or to a
dancing party, where people appear in
their best clothes, with bright and snil-
ing faces, he, too, would like to put on
his best clothes and brightest face. He
wishes to doff the old garments that sug-
gest toll and soil, to get rid of their at
mosphere for few bright hours.
He has bought that swallowtail suit
with his hard earned and skimped
money. 1t cost as much as any other,
and thus he gave work to the toiling
breadwinners who cut, fitted and sewed
it. But he wrongs his fellow citizens by
wearing it. 1t is the kind of suit that
our grandfathers wore by day in con-
gress and out. Daniel Webster appeared
in that fashion daytime and evening to
his dying day. So did the venerable
Hannibal Hamlin, vice president, senator,
foreign minister and pure patriot.
Neither one of these distinguished gen .le-
men ever had thought that he was
doing anything sinful or expressing the
masses in thus wearing coat that had
the front of the skirts cut away.
But they were wrong-wildly wrong.
The standing of the swallowtail as an
instrument Of oppression has been fully
established in our more enlightened
times. 1t is true that in clearly dressed
and refined society the world over it has
been recognized as convenient evening
dress for men and one that has the ad-
ditional advantage of showing off the
graceful manly form with good effect.
But now that its diabolical character is
fully recognized doubtless every Amer
lean patriot will throw off the accursed
toggery and don it nevermore.
Go to parties in your working clothes,
and the more worn and unpleasant they
are the better. 1t is proved that man
cannot be honest or a patriot if he wears
the regulation evening suit Down with
the swallowtail

A series of illustrations showing the
death masks of famous individuals has
constituted one of the interesting fea-
lures of popular magazine during part
of the present year, The interest awak-
ened by these pictures suggests that
whenever famous individual dies the
impression of his dead face and head
should be taken in plaster cast. AS a
means Of comparison and delineation of
character such cast would be inval-
liable to students Of anatomy and biolo-
gy, and to artists as well as the general
student. By all means death mask of
Jay Gould should have been taken.
While the record of the Nineteenth CEN
fury lasts the question concerning this
mightiest financier of modern times will
be, In what part of that brain resided
the power that made him what he was?
Other men have died possessed of as
great wealth. No man of Jay Gould's age
--ffty-six-ever amassed as great for
tune as he did by his unaided efforts.
Life masks of famous men are better
than death masks, as the reproduction
of Lincoln's head and face in the maya
zine referred to shows. This mask is
pronounced without question the most
perfect representation of Lincoln's face
i'll existence But death masks Of great
men are better than no casts at all of
their heads and faces.

Then and NOW.

A hundred years ago that wise man,
Thomas Jefferson, made prophecy. He
said it would be thousand years before
this country would be thickly populated
as far west as the Mississippi. Now a
city of nearly million fourishes on the
very banks of the Mississippi. A hun
dred years ago it required more than a
month to travel from the Atlantic coast
to where Chicago now is, if indeed any
body ever Travelled SO far.
In 1892 there were only 100000 peo-
pie in this United States, and one fifth of
them were negroes, many of whom had
besn brought from Africa in slaveships.
There was not a law school In the coun-
try, although young men learned the
legal profession by reading" as it was
called, law with some practitioner. There
were only two schools of medicine in all
North America. Except in the immedi-
ate vicinity of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia there was not decent
country road in the Union. There are
not very many now, come to think of it,
and perhaps the less said about that the
better.
Neither is there much of an American
literature, but Professor Hart reminds
us that in 1892 there was no literature
at all to speak of, except the state papers
Of such men as Washington, Hamilton
and Jefferson. There is one odd fact to
be noted here, by the way. While every
other kind Of literature has advanced
rapidly, in the art of writing state pa
pers few m5zlern American Statesman,
with one single exception, have equaled
the old masters named.

whose income is not more than s., 900 a
year, 1t will have every luxury attain
able ON tho cooperative and buying at
wholesale basis, but it will be known
distinctively as the g, 900 a year peoples
home. Persons of education and refined
tastes and no others will be permitted
to buy or rent cottages in this beautiful
home park. They will really have such
accommodations as they would get at
first class summer resorts without the
awful bills attached to first class sum-
mer resorts.
Furthermore, in this delightful re-
treat for actors and literary folk Mrs.
Grundy will be sat upon and silenced.
People can do as they please abso-
lutely, Sundays and other days, inside
the common accepted rules of morality
and good manners. They can ride,
walk or go fishing, and nobody will
mind. Now, outside the impossibility
of anybody doing exactly as he pleases
in the state of New Jersey, the plan, how
ever delightful, will not work. Noactor,
journalist or author would go there, be-
cause he would thereby acknowledge
that his income was $4,000 year and
might be less.
If the philanthropists at the head of
the scheme would simply give out that
they intend to make beautiful summer
home for colony of actors and literary
and journalistic people, then these would
throng there gladly. But they must
give it no flavor of charity. Let them
do all the fine things on the economical
business basis they design, but say not
word about the price. The persons they
design to benefit would find out the econ
omy of the thing fast enough, and would
take advantage of it without having

eloquence this winter the necessity of
making an appropriation for the mag
nifcent roadmaking exhibit which will
be so grand an object lesson to Amer
leans from all parts of the country at
the Worlds fair. What the roadmak-
ing exhibit will show is summed up by
a writer in The Century as follows:
What the advocates Of good roads propose is
comprehensive exhibit Of all that Is known
of scientific road building, which will serve as
a school of instruction to the thousands Of
Americans who will visit the fair. They will
give sample sections of the best road construc-
ton in this country and In Europe. They will
have skilled workmen actually engaged In con.
structing sections of the various kinds of
roads, the most expensive and the cheapest as
well, and will have competent engineers and
chemists in attendance to explain the process
of building the roads, constructing artificial
stone and preparing cements. All machinery
used in the work and the various kinds
material will be seen in daily practical OF
tion. In short, the visitor who wishes I
not only what a scientific road is, but the ex-
act way in which it is built, will have full op-
portunity of doing SO.

Matrimony has got into strange tan
gle in Hungary. The population Of the
country is mixed up theologically among
Roman Catholics, Protestants and Greek
church adherents. Theological rancor
is much more active in these old coun-
tries than in the United States, where
people are too much engaged in making
money to take time to think whether
ones neighbours religion is not as good
as ones own. But in Hungary theolog-
ical prejudice is so rife that when couple
are married by pastor of one Of the
three leading faiths followers of the
other two doubt in their minds whether
the knot is tied good and strong or not.
There are so many adherents of all
three faiths in Hungary that mixed mar
riages are very frequent. There has
been endless bother, and at last law
was passed that sons should be brought
up in the religion of the father, daugh-
tiers in that of the mother. But this was
splitting up of the babies education
that would not do at all, and family
strife followed. The authorities were
so much worried that at last it is
proposed to make the civil marriage
that is, marriage by mayors, justices of
the peace, etc.-lawful without any other
ceremony, just as it is in the happy
United States. Then the father and
mother that were to be could fight the
question out at their leisure, having
plenty of time. But to make civil mar
rage perfectly respectable in an old
fogy, ignorant country like Hungary it
would be necessary to make it obliga.
tory, as it is in France today, leaving
the religious marriage to be let alone OF
not, according to the taste and con-
science of the persons interested. The
question has become so troublesome that
civil marriage in some form seems to be
the only way out.

A financial writer bewails the fact

A financial writer bewails the fact
that the south this year will get s16,-
100000 less for her cotton crop than she
did last year, thereby cutting down the
sum of our exports by that amount. But
this is no less really. The wise southern
farmers planted 100000 acres less in
cotton than they did last year. The
place of the $16,500,000 for export is
taken by S87,500,C00 worth of sugar,
rice, wheat, corn and garden vegetables.
Much Of this the southern farmer will
consume at home in place of articles
which he formerly bought. There is no
loss here; there is large gain.
