EVERYDAY TRAGEDIES.

o.Ist, Ordinary Life Furnishes More Trag-
edies Than War or Pestiience.
sThe tragic and the metaphysical are
:, reality inseparable. Let us take n
nmiliar illustration" writes Walter
blackburn Harte in the New England
MAGAZINE. 1.-THE tragedy of a Bala-
lava charge is not in the roar of artil
law. the confused mass of wildly gal
i,ning horses, laundering madly along,
nnbridled or riderless, the cries and
lash of arms, the forms upright or
,raying in the saddle, the blare and
Ain. sooty clouds and the fire and smell
n gunpowder. All this makes fine
oIture; but the tragedy lies in the mind
n each individual rider, who has rislSed
Ms divinity in this hideous insanity of
war,
TOO many writers seem to think that
tragedy consists solely of murders, acct
dents, suicide, flood, fire, slaughter, and
,be rattle of musketry. These things
NAV be either the accomplishments, or
tbe causes of tragedy, it is true, but the
tragedy itself is invariably in the minds
Of the actors or onlookers. And there
are the tragedies of quiet, ordinary l'fe.
There is the tragedy of noble purposes
defeated. Tragedies are taking place
every day between actors who do not
move out of their chairs. Everydoctor's
Office, every lawyers sanctum, every
court of law-every house in lax q
city has been at some time the scene OF
tragedy. AN houses wherein men
have lived and died are haunted houses.
"a man may live life filed with
tragedy and never go to the wars or get
shipwrecked; indeed, he may never
leave his study, his house, or his garden.
All this is, of course, obvious; but one
would not imagine it to be so fIom a
constant reading of the criticisms on
the fiction which goes behind actions
and discovers souls"

Coming value) in 100 years has been:
Of this His amount gold was S,633o0Sooo
Of this amount silver was...,..... 510i96l,G
The production of silver from 1919 to
1871 was annually between $39000,O00
and $51,575,OO0 remaining for fourteen
years under $50,OO0,OOO. 1t stayed under
S61 100000 until 1872, when it was $685.
25O,OOO It gradually advanced to $96,
100000 in 1880, $lO2,O00,O00 in 1881 to
$162, 100000 in 1889 and $196,G05000 in
1892.
The gold production in 1S49-Califor-
MIA year-was 100000. 1t jumped to
$44, 900 in 1850 to 1857 100000 IN 1851,
$132,75O,0O0 in 1852 and $l55,450,000 in

1t fell next year to 1927 100000, and then
gradually fell off until 1874, when it was

The highest price for silver in London
was in 1S73-74, 59a8, and at that price
our silver dollar was worth 9SM, cents,
and its ratio to gold was 1917. The
lowest price was last month"; 32l &, and
then our silver dollar was worth 81 cents
and the ratio was 1852.

ENGLAND'S VIEW OF 1T,

As general proposition it may be ac-
cepted as fact that, financially speaking,
whatever is taken as nuts and ginger
bread" for England may be considered
"gall and worm wood" for the United
States. 1t needs but "a glance at the two
systems of government to make this
apparent. The English government is a
free trade institution and gloates upon
gold as its single standard of money.
whereas our government has been built
upon protective tariff system and the
constitution itself repudiates the use of
gold only as money, declaring it the policy
of the union to circulate both gold and
silver.
, We note these contrasting facts in order
to show how thoroughly un-American is
the conduct of the present house Of
representatives. in voting two to one
against the establishment of any ratio
that will recognize the use of silver as
money, and TO show how the English peo-
pie regard it, we quote az follows from the
London Morning Post:
"The division in the house on the ues-
ton of repeal proves that the greatest
change has occurred in American opinion
on the silver question, and that the Dem
ocratic party is practically a unit for the
repeal of the purchase clause. How vel
come this change will be to business men
on this side of tho ocean, the recent action
of the Bank of England shows"

African Fruit Ruined by Insects.


Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis-that
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr.. William Tuck of Grahams-
town, who expresses this opinion, is q
high authority ON fruit farming. He
tells us that in the eastern province
they can never depend ON any fruit ex-
cept grapes coming to ripeness without
damage from fly larvB, though where,
owing to high altitude-2, 900 feet to
5000 and over-there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the larv@ cannot tide over the
frost.
1t sometimes happens that scarcely a
peach ripens in the whole province with
out worm inside. Mr.. Tuck is for he
roic remedies. He is decidedly of opin-
ion that if a general and perfect destruc-
ton Of all the fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the COM
mon consent of the whole body Of fruit
growers the fly might be stamped out,
but he mournfully confesses that the

The capital of the nation is infested
with human insect that devotes its en-
ergies to boring into places where it is
not wanted. Possibly its kindred exists
elsewhere, but there has been so much
freedom of access to the houses of men
whose careers depend upon popularity,
and 80 much dread among those in high
places of unwittingly trampling upon
influential feelings, that the breed is es-
pecially encouraged there, Then, again,
there are two notable features which
mark the society of the capitalize pres
ence of officials and statesmen who are
known far and wide, and the absence of
men who are distinguished in the sci
ences and the arts.--H. L. Nelson ip

Tom White, freckled faced lad of 10,
came into my view just then, and I heard
the signal from under the hiacs, very soft
ly and cautiously given this time. Tom
seemed to know whence it came, for in q
moment he was with the others, hauling
his long legs in after him so as to be out of
sight. Both boys addressed him at once.
Say, Tom, did y'ever have the measles'"
'Yep, you bet did, an I don't want em

other channels then, and the boys talked Of
