A GLASS MEASURE.

In her address here Tuesday even
ing, Mrs. Lease, in referring to the
silver question, said that the old par
ties were opposed to it's use as money,
and that they made no mention of it
in their platforms. So far as the Re-
publican party is concerned her state
ment is not true. The Republican
platform in regard to financial mat
tiers and as far as they relate to silver
says:
The American people from tradi-
tion and interest favor bi-metalism,
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and ssiluer
as standard aaoa,ey, with such
restrictions and under such pro-
visions, to be determined by
legislation, as will secure the main
tenance Of the parity of values of the
two metals SO the purchasing and
debt-paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver or gold, or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
But the Republican party does OPP
pose the free coinage of silver until
such time as arrangements with the
other nations of the world caR be
made, so that silver will not be dis
eliminated against and its value de-
pressed. The United States cannot
enter upon the free coinage of silver
alone, and maintain it at parity
with gold. Mrs. Lease was fierce in
| her denunciation of what she termed
class legislation, but this free coinage
scheme is one of the greatest move
ments in behalf of class legislation
that was ever unloaded upon people.
| 1t is directly in the interest of spec
ulators and mine owners and they are
the only ones that will profit 10y it,.
1t has been shown that the output of
the mines is SO great in volume, and
the operations in mining have been
SO perfected, that the cost of putting
an ounce of silver on the market to-
day is only % to 4e cents. This makes
the profit from the large mines foot
up to an enormous sum. Now il in
addition to this the silver mine own
er can get law enacted SO that he
can take IS or 20 cents worth of his
product Of his mine to the govern
ment mint and get it stamped one dol
lar, his already large profits are swell
ed by large per cent. The Populists
have much to say about the watered
stock of railroads, but in advocating
free silver under existing conditions
they are fayoring scheme that would
put watered stock in the sdade, and
in addition thereto wreck the finan-
cial system of the nation.

TennvSnn,S First Home.

The Somersby House estate, with its
rent roll of 81 900 year, and its incalu-
able if sentimental value as including
the rectory in which Alfred Tennyson
was born, has failed as yet to find pur-
chaser. Apart from the investment of
capital" question, Somersby rectory is
likely in years to come to prove the Mecca
of Tennyson enthusiasts, and in that way
might be made source of perpetual
profit in the hands of a private owner,
although confess that should like to
see it the property of the nation.
Shakespeares birthplace is secured to
us as national heritage for all time,
and it would be well if Tennyson's first
home could be equally honored. For no
poet since Shakespeare has SO perfectly
understood and voiced the various
phases, passions, heights and depths of
human nature, and it might almost be
said that in the Bible, Shakespeare and
Tennyson alone might be found some
thing to coincide with every character
istic and emotion of humanity.
For thirty years of his life Lord Ten
nyson lived at Somersby, and no doubt
the exquisite appreciation of inanimate
as well as animate human nature
manifest in the laureate's works was
due largely to the influence of the beau
tiful surroundings of his peaceful Lin
colnshire home.-Lady's Pictorial.

StagnatiOn in Shipbuilding,

The stagnation in the shipbuilding
trade on the Clyde is apparently most
serious. The North British Daily Mail
estimates that there are at present be-
tween Glasgow and Greenock over 49,
600 men out of work, every one of them
willing to accept any occupation that
might offer, although skilled workmen
at their trades. This statement, how
ever, only partly shows the depression.
Out of 14S building berths on the Clyde
only forty-nine are now in use. The in
dustry employs in good times from 5O,-
600 to 10000 men, and it follows that
there are 10000 or 10000 men not work
ing on the Clyde who would be en-
ployed there if all the yards were in full
operation. About one-third of this num-
Der, it is thought, have migrated to other
shipbuilding centers in Great Britain,
but The Mail thinks $4,000 is less than
the number of men actually idle on the
Clyde at the present time.

VOlapuk Up to Date.

Volapuk, the new tongue which was
to bind all articulate creation together
in the bond of a common language, has
been but little heard of for some time
past. In Belgium, however, the Vola-
pukists are showing signs of life. A
conference of Volapukists, as they are
called, is being held at Brussels, and ac-
cording to all accounts much enthusiasm
is being displayed for Pastor Schleyer
and his system.
The Volapukists profess to be indiffer-
ent to the ridicule with which they have
been assailed. Their pet notion is des-
tined to triumph and they can afford to
wait. If the present generation does not
reap the full benefit of their labors, sue
ceeding generations will do so. Such
has been the tenor of their discourses.
But in the meantime, if their figures are
to be trusted, they have made solid prog
ress. tits only twelve years since Vola-
puk was first promulgated to world

Not only is this so, but we are told
that thirty newspapers altogether are
published in Volapuk in different parts
of the world; that courses of lectures on
the new language are held at the uni
versities of Munich and Turin, and that
the Russian press censOrs are bound to
be acquainted with it to qualify them
selves for their posts.-London News.

As king OF Prussia he has had until

marks revenue from crown lands and

Hard on the Reaux.

There is nothing that shows so plainly
the mutation of human affairs as the
change in the manner of the sunburned
maidens who were SO lately wont to
gambol on the sands or roam the noun
tains DER in their greetings of the youths
who on those occasions acted as escorts
during those long weeks of Adamless
inactivity. In those sultry summer
hours how the pretty creatures did their
best to spoil the one or two specimens of
masculinity that came within their ken!
How they feted and pelted the callow
fedgelings until the boyish hearts hut.
tered and the bump of personal vanity
developed with alarming rapidity!
All now is changed-they meet their
one time worshipers on the public thor
oughfares and cool nod is all that in
dicates that the fair ones recognize their
existence. Sometimes this ceases when
a real man is promenading with the
tickle summer goddess, and little boys
are looked upon as good enough when
there was no one else to practice upon, but
nuisances when there are actually three
or four genuine men to payall homage to
the heartless maidens. Well, boys, take
courage. Your time is coming, and it
will not be SO many years before these
same autocratic fair ones will not con-
slider disparagement in ages any detri-
ment to matrimonial prospects that are
not as fattering as they once were

Lent by the Vatican.

The exhibition opened in honor of
Christopher Columbus at Madrid has
just received two of its most interesting
exhibits, and the lender has been the
Vatican. They are geographical maps
of very early date and of extreme rarity.
One drawn in the lifetime of Alexander
vi shows the chart of the world as it
was believed to exist at the commence
ment of the Sixteenth ce'ATry A line,
the drawing of which IL additionally
ascribed to Alexander himself, defines
the limits of the Spanish possessions in
America, and separates them from those
of Portugal.
The second NAPLES ancient than
the tirst-has greater historical value,
as the precise date is not left to con-
lecture. An inscription in Spanish an.
nounces that it is the handiwork of the
cosmographer of the king of Spain, who
prepared it by command of the king al
Seville in the year 1929, and under it is
the rather naive announcement, not that
it is a map of the world, but map OF
so much of the world as had been dis.
covered up to that date.
These documents are the more inter.
esting as their authenticity and pedigree
are above all doubt. They come from
the famous museum originally founded
by Cardinal Borgia when he was project
of the propaganda. No European insti
tuition is 80 rich in photographic treas

A Poser for Biologists.

The members of the medical profess
sion in Hamilton are greatly interested
in remarkable surgical operation which
took place in the west end of the city
about week ago 1t is said that the
case is in some of it's features so curl
Gus as to be unprecedented.
A little girl, three years of age, was
troubled with what appeared to be a
tumor rapidly growing out of the small
of her back. The growth was soft, and
had all the characteristics of fatty
tumor, excepting that there was well
defined bone of triangular shape en-
bedded in it. The supposed tumor was
the shape of sugar loaf, with an inden-
tation at the crown. 1t was about six
inches in diameter, and stood out from
the back fully five inches. 1t was de-
cided to have it removed. Seven city
doctors were present at the operation
1t was not successful; the child died
thirty-six hours afterward
The dissection of the mysterious
growth and the postmortem held on
the child's body revealed some remark
able facts. A portion of the spinal col
umn was wanting, and from the cavity
the growth proceeded. There was in
the supposed tumor evidence of the be-
ginning of another and independent
life, documentary organs having already
been formed. If no operation had been
performed this independent life would
have continued to grow until, no doubt,
it would have developed into mon
strosity and ultimately caused DEATH

Intenperance among women is in
creasing. The metropolitan police re-
turns show that there has been de-
cided advance during the last two years
in the number of women apprehended
for drunkenness. In 1889 the total was
less than 1900; in 1891 it was nearly
$500. There was corresponding
growth in the number Of "drunk and
disorderly" cases during the same period.
Last year 1878 women were taken into
custody on this charge in London alone.
Inquiry of magistrates, clerks, jailers,
missionaries, and others whose daily
duty obliges them to frequent the met
