ALL this talk about Governor

occasion or pretence OF occasion for
one. III the Attorney General gives
an opinion that the recent election
was invalid, and that a session Of the

tute a session OF the Legislature, then
the Governor must order a new cleo

assignats were a child Of the revolution
ary government. They perfQEz7ned 8 good
work in giving homes to the people. AS
money, they were precisely as good as
the issuing power, no better, no worse.
They lived as long as the revolution, and
went down with it. The last insurrec-
tion was put down by Napoleon in 1895,
the assignsts finally fell to the point of
worthlessness in 1876. The revolution
fell into the arms Of Napoleon, the most
bitter foe Of all forms of paper money.
He often said that he would never issue
paper money. But when it came to the
test, he was compelled to issue paper
until, by his victories, he was able to live
entirely upon bis enemies.
Alison's History of Europe" volume
VII, page 100, states the case Of tis mill
tsry robberies as follows:
The victories Of Ulm and Austerlitz pro-
Vided the means of solving the (fnanCisD
difficulty. From the moment the grand
army crossed the Rhine, Is was fed, clothed,
lodged, and paid at the expense Of Ger
many. On the 18th Of November, an ediot
of the emperor directed the transmission Of
all funds to the army Of the north to cease;
and ON the 18th of December a similar
order was given in regard to the army Of
Italy. Thus the three principal armies Of
the empire ceased to be any longer charge
upon its finances, and the tributary or CON-
quered states bore the burden of the greater
part of that enormous military force by
which they were overawed or retained in
subjection.. This system continued without
intermission during the whole remainder Of
the reign Of Napoleon.
That was the plan of the hard money
man for raising money. All rights of
private property were as much violated
as they were by the revolution, and all
the rules Of honorable warfare were set
aside as much as they had been by the
English counterfeiters Of the French
money.
Now comes another view of the case;
Napoleon came into power Ias pro
nounced hard money man. After he goi
fairly started and became able to live
upon the enemy, he issued no more
paper of any sort. He carried on war on
the coin basis entirely, getting his coin
by all means whatever, both fair and un-
fair. On the other hand the English
government was compelled TO adopt
paper. In 1877, coin utterly failed In
England. The bank paid out its last
silver six pence, and there was no other
resource but paper. The proper requi-
site conditions for the success Of paper
money existed in England as they did
not in France during the revolutionary
governments. England was an organ
lied and responsible government. 1t

could give to its money the quality Of

sary things, and the British money was

mann, Of Oregon, in which he states that
'the French asaignGts were q legal ten
der" came duly to hand. Ycu ask me to
say whether the statement Of Mr.. Her
mann is true. Icomply with your request
with much pleasure; but the question
cannot be answered in single sentence.
Technically, the asERnsts were legal ten
der; practically, sad, in effect, they were
not SupepRcially considered, the answer
ID not satisfactory. But when we under
,gsEand the case, every one will see that
.sthe various governments of the French
revolution" as Sir Archibald Alison calls
them, had no power to confer the quality
OF legal tender on money in any true and
lasting sense. At best, they could only
attach 10 it an edict Of the convention
which happened to be in power when the
paper was printed; perhaps to be reversed
by the new party Of the next day, and
never to be obeyed out Of sight OF the
guillOtine.
Every enterprise, every special sort OF
work, and every invention or creation OF
man, must conform to certain requisite
conditions necessary to success, or it
MUST prove q failure Suppose the
farmer plants q crop Of corn. The land
must be properly prepared for the plant
ing, the planting must be done in the
proper season of the year, and the crop
must receive reasonable culture after
wards. If any one of these conditions
are neglected, the crop to that extent
will be q failure.
II the orchsrdist desires to plant q
field with fruit trees, the land must be
plcFod. the trees must be wisely
selected as to variety Of fruits, they must
be properly dug, with plenty Of healthy
roots, holes for the trees must be located
TO suit the sizes Of the full grown trees,
the planting Of the trees must be done
by men who understand the work, the
after culture must be strictly attended
to, and the field must be protected from
the destructive inroads Of cattle and
other animals. If any Of these requisite
conditions are not complied with, the en-
terprise will, to the extent of'the neglect,
be failure.
When q machsnio makes an imple-
ment or q machine for any special pur-
pose, as plow, wagon, an engine, or
any implement or device whatever, it
must have all the parts in proper place,
we'll fitted and fastened as the purpose
Of the implement requires. Not an i'm
portant bolt, screw or crank can be
omitted or misplaced without marring
the value Of the machine, and, perhaps,
running it's value entirely. This is law
of mechanics and nature which cannot be
dsGed with impunity.
So money, which is the most import
ant device of civilization, has its laws
and conditions which must be complied
with, and the system of finance, which is
constructed in defiance of the requisite
conditions, must, to the extent Of that
neglect, prove failure. Monetary laws
are just as inexorable as the laws Of ma
ture, and they cannot be violated with
impunity.

tions for proper and successful money

TO HER.

Your last cruel words have wounded
BAnd severed us forever apart;
Your last cruel dart has anchored,
Deep down in my Quivering heart
You've told me you could not love me,
You, whom l thought so fair;
You, for whom pain was a pleasure,
For whom would have borne any care.
You have spurned my love for another,
After giving me cause to believe,
That was more than life to you,
And you the web round my heart did
weave.
You have told me it was all my fault,
That YOU have ceased to love;
That you have given that love to an
other,
My once little gentle dove.
All! darling. how can it be my fault?
God knows have tried to prove true,
| have loved you as no other man
Will ever, my darling love you.
l have loved you my darling my treas
ure,
Dear and truly with all my heart,
Fow my life seems dark and lonely
Since you have deCreed we should part.
l wish for you sweet little darling.
With your dear blue eyes and golden
hair,
That you'll ever have sweet love and
- pleasure.
That'your path will be ever fair.
In after years would not like to reflect,
And think that sorrow had ever
touched you,
If my own life must be gloomy and sad,
wish for you, dear, JOY and love true.
l hope this new love you have found,
dear,
Will ever prove what you hoped to find,
That sickness, sorrow or reverses
VIII never serve to make it unkind.
As you have chosen this day love,
To throw aside my love forever.
And never more to be but friend,
For one whom the world calls clever.
Why. have no right to complain or re-
greet;
But darling you've struck deep blow;
An try as | may | can never forget,
Till death relieves me of my woe.

Cheap Filters.

With the advent of warm weather
the necessity for supply of pure,
well-tiltered water becomes imper-
ative, and scientific journal has
adViSedly described two methods
whereby an effective filter can be
easily and Cheaply provided. Pro-
cure a wine barrel and a piece of
fine brass wire cloth large enough
to make partition across the bar
rel. Support the wire cloth with
a cOarser wire cloth under it, and
also a light frame of oak to keep
the cloth from sagging. Fill in
with about 3 inches in depth of
clear, sharp sand, then , inches Of
charcoal, broken finely, but no
dust. On top of this put t inches
more Of sand, fill up the barrel
with water and draw from the bot
tom. In another method two bar
rels or two stone pots or Jars may
be used. The top jar must
have a hole drilled or broken
in the bottom, and a small flower
pot saucer inverted over the hole.
Then fill in with layer of sharp,
clean sand, rather coarse, a layer
of finer sand, layer of pulverized
charcoal, with the dust blown out,
then another layer Of sand, which
will come up to about One-third OF
the jar. The jar which is to hold
the supply of filtered water can
have side hole drilled for faucet
so as to Obviate the necessity OF
removing the top jar when water
is wanted. The ftItering jar is
placed on the top and filled with
water, and thus a supply of the
filtered liquid is always Obtainable
> in the bottom receiver.

Certain Indications of Death.


The mere stoppage of the heart
can not be regarded as a satisfac-
tory sign of death. In some cases
on record that organ has apparent
ly ceased to perform its function
for as much as fifteen minutes, yet
the person has revived. 1t is be-
yond dispute that certain Indian
fakirs possess the ability to suS-
pend animation, and permit them
selves to be buried alive for
months, coming to life again after
being dug up. This artificial sus-
pension of vitality is supposed to
bear some relation to the natural
Information of bats and other an
imals. The recent statement by
the French scientist, dArsOnVal,
that phenomenon very similar
to this is caused in persons who
have been electrocuted, and that in
stead of being killed, they are only
rendered torpid, and can be resusci-
tated if proper steps be taken, in
vests the question of the value of
the signs usually relied on by ply
sicians as sure evidence of actual
dissolution, with gravest impor-
lance. If the fingers of person in
whom vitality still fingers be
tightly bound with piece of
string, the end of the finger will
soon became red and then blush.
But if the individual be dead, no
such effect will follow the applica-
ton of ligature. Another test,
the certainty of which, however, is
disputed, is to thrust bright and
clean needle into the muscles of
the body. If life be present, the
steel rapidly rusts on being with
drawn. After death, no such OXi-
datiOn takes place. A familiar
method of determining absence of
life is to produce blister by heat,
as with the flame of a candle. If
the skin beneath and around the
blister becomes red, the individual
lives; otherwise he is dead. a
sure test is said to be the
holding of the hand of the
supposed cadavOr between the eye
and the light of candle or lamp.
When thus examined the hand of
living person has rosy color be-
tween the fingers that of corpse
has not. A fact which has most
important bearing from the medi~
co-legal standpoint, and which has
often been decisive in determining
the nature of the cause of death
when there has been uncertainty
as to whether case was one of
suicide or murder, is that if per-
son has committed suicide the
weapon will be found rigidly
grasped with fingers stiffened by
the rigOr mortis. 1t is not possible
for another person to tighten the
relaxed grip of dead person upon
a weapon. Army surgeons say
that the expressions on the faces of
soldiers killed in battle reveal the
causes of death. Those who have
persisted from sword wounds have
look of repOse, while there is an
expression of pain on the cOunte-
nance Of those slain by bullets.

After a breezy dsquisition on How
Woman Writes a Letter" a London jour
nal sums UP it's hints and suggestions in
the following:
"Recipe: Take a sheet Of paper and pen
and ink. BE sure you know TO whom you
are going to write the letter, as some
people are a little vague in this matter.
Let the address and date be at the top.
for this shows a good cook-I mean
scribe-who has her mind as well as her
materials at hand. Begin with some
usual formula Of address. Add In two
parts of family news, two parts or an
swers, two parts of genuine and kind
injuries; mix with n light hand. Add
gradually six parts OF odds and ends,
well beaten up. such as weather. dress
this is naturally a large and valuable
item-personal remarks and so on. not
forgetting the inevitable gossip. which
must be sugared and sifted in lightly at
the last Finish up and take care to add
p. S. after the signature. for like a
tail to a kite this balances the whole
concern. IL is in the T. S. that woman $
individuality is charmingly shown TO the
greatest advantage.
1.-The size of the letter the length or
each part and the choice of words must
be left to the writer's feelings. but care
must be taken ia. put In all the twelve
ingredients. Then place IL in an envelope,
and serve hot-that is. send IL off to the
right address by the next post. AS
million letters a year are posted In Lon
don with no address. this final warning
does not seem to be amiss.'
