The public confidence in the purposes
and ability of the government to maintain
the parity of all our money Issues. whether
coin or paper, must remain mistaken. The
demand for gold in Europe, the consequent
drain on US, are in considerable degree the
result of the efforts of some of the Euro
pean governments to increase their gold re-
serve and these efforts should be met by
appropriations on our part. The condi-
lions that have created this drain on the
treasury gold are in an important degree
political and not commercial. In view OF
the fact that a general revision of our rev.
enue laws in the near future seems to be
probable, ii would be better that any
changes should be a part of that revision
rather thar of a temporary nature. Dur

The report Of the secretary of war brings
again to the attention of congress some i'm
portant suggestions made to congress as
to the reorganization of the infantry and
artillery arms of the service. The condi-
lions upon What We have called the
frontier" nave heretofore required the
maintenance Of many small posts, but now
the policy of concentration is obviously the
right one. The new posts should have the
proper strategic relations to the only
frontiers we now have, those Of the west
md the north, and part of our southern
boundary. I do not think that any ques-
ton of advantage in localities or states
should determine the location of the new
posts.

Common Salt for Neuralgia.

= Take chloride of sodium timely
powered and perfectly dry, use as a
snuff in the nostril of the affected
side. The best results are obtained
when the salt is administered through
an insufflator. An insufflator hold.
ing four or five grains is sufficient.
As the powder is blown into the
nostril, ask the patient to inhale
through the nose, that the remedy
may be thoroughly distributed over
the membranes. The application
will produce but little pain or dis
comfort, and often a single treatment
will Immediately inhibit a neuralgia,
especially when it is recent and
located in one branch of the fifth
nerve. In other cases, where the
disease has been protracted and ex-
tensively distributed, the Insulation
may be repeated every one-half to
one minute for. five to ten minutes.
This novel treatment has given sat-
isfactiOn many times, and may also
be used for odontalgia, cephalgia,
bronchial asthma, etc.

Story OF An Oak.

Concerning the American oak grow
ing in the imperial gardens at St.
Petersburg, this remarkable story is
sold:
When Mr.. Dallas was in St. Peters
burg as United States Minister, he
was one day visited by tall, awk-
ward American, who, being requested
to state his business, Immediately
said that he particularly wanted to
see the Emperor.
He was assured that obtaining an
interview with the Emperor was no
easy task, but not being disposed to
take a refusal, he was requested to
leave his name and return in about a
fortnight, when his application would
probably be considered and determ-
ined, and the result communicated to
him.
A week or so later, the American
Minister was surprised by a visit
from the tall American, and begin
ming to assure his visitor that an inter-
view with the Empeor could not be
obtained, the American responded
that he had already seen the EN-
peror, and had just called in at the
embassy for the purpose Of saying
"good-by," as he was on the point of
leaving for home.
Mr.. Dallas was dumfounded and
inquired into the particulars, when
ne found that the man actually had,
by nothing more than sheer force of
impudence, succeeded in passing the
guards stationed about the palace and
seeing the Emperor.
Il gave him present, too" said
the Yankee.
what was it?" inquired Mr.. Dallas
in a wondering tone.
"An acorn from Mount Vernon
from tree that grew over Washing
tons tomb. The Emperor planted it
in the garden with his own hands.
I followed him out and saw him
plant it,"
Strange as the story was it was
true, and the oak now growing in the
imperial gardens at St. Petersburg
sprang from the acorn carried thither
as a present to the Emperor by the
long, awkward American.

Shot the Tomatoes.

The family had stewed tomatoes
for dinner and one Of the diners
found something round and hard in a
spoonful of the vegetable. It turned
out to be drop of solder that had
fallen in when the can was being
sealed. 1t was shown to the baby
with the explanation that it was a
pretty little bullet. Then the baby,
who happens to be boy Of about 4
years and very much interested in
guns, looked up and asked:
do they shoot tomatoes to kill
'em?"- Columbus Dispatch.

Trap for Carpet Beetles.

I recently found a simple way to
check the increase of the buffalo
carpet beetle. This insect does its
damage in the immature or larval
state, being then the ugly hairy worm
which most housekeepers call the
~carpet-bug." These hairy larvae be-
come full-grown in this condition at
various times during the fall, winter,
and spring, and concealing themselves
in crack or crevice change to what
is called the pupa or chrysalis state.
They are then quiescent, and take no
food. They remain in it a short
time 1.-TWO or three weeks), and then
again change into small, dark-colored
beetles, less than a quarter of an
inch long, having on the back spots
and stripes of white and red.
These beetles fly out of the win
dows in spring, and, as 1 have lately
noticed, flock in great numbers to the
early crocuses and tulips of the gar
dens. They prefer, especially, the
light-colored varieties, being found
in tulip-bed under observation al
most exclusively on the white and
yellow flowers. From this small bed,
containing less than four dozen tulips,
we gathered in week more than one
hundred beetles. The little creatures
seek the flowers to feed on the pollen,
and are easily seen and destroyed.
This offers simple method of check
ing increase of a vexatious pest, and
is measure which city and village
housekeepers cannot afford to neglect.

Reception, Parade and Ball-Excep-
tionally Low Railroad Rates

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-The Exposition
has now been open about one-third Of
its ninth season and the attendance up
to date is by far the best on record.
Gllmorc's magnificent band of 100
pieces is giving four concerts daily,
and although there are 1000 seats in
the Music hall, a vacant seat during
any portion of any one of the concerts
is,very unusual. The general features of
the Exposition are voted by visitors from
all parts of the country, as well as from
Europe, as remarkable both for their
beauty and costliness and also for the
great variety, SO many attractions hay
ing been rarely collected together in
one building. The exhibits of manu-
featured goods, of electrical and me-
chanical triumphs and high class
works of art are all first class; and
any one department would provide a
first class Exposition.
The next illumination will be given
on Thursday, Sept. 90, when all the
electrical panorama and pyrotechnic
displays will be in full working order.
The carnival will be at its height
at the opening of October, for
on the afternoon of Oct. 1 the
Yelled Prophet will arrive by. boat and
be received by strong military guard.
Heretofore the Yelled Prophet has ar
rived secretly and has not been seen
