A Tilt in Congress,

Here is scene of the silver debate as
reported by the Congressional Record:
rs not this the most prosperous coun-
try on the face of the earth?" asked
Congressman Gear of Iowa.
1T is often said to be-" replied Mr..
Harter of Ohio, 'but want to ask you
all a question. Is there a man in this
house who can today take his note for
$1,000 to his bank, and, with government
bonds for security, getit discounted for
three months? If there is such man
here, let him stand up want to see
him"
There was an impressive silence.
Members on both sides looked at each
other inquiringly, but nobody stood up.
There was no applause and no laughter,
but Mr.. Harter had referred to a cold
fact that struck home to every man in
the house."

"The gentleman will state it,"
SIS this a congressional debate, or a

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 19.-The schooner
Viking will sail today to rescue two sailors
who have been marooned on Clippertou
81 a nd for three months. Clipperton island
IS tiny coral reef near the equa tor and is
covered with rich deposits of guano.
The Oceanic Phosphate company sent
schooner to the island last spring and
IN order to hold it, left two sailors Carl
Jensen and Eli Hall, IN charge of the island.
This was May and as the islands are en-
tirely barren the men We're given provisions
Tor ninety days, with II promise that before
that time another schooner would be sent to
their relief. The men left on the island evi.
IDENTIFY had some idea that they would be left
there to starve, for Jensen sent a letter to
a friend III this city when the schooner
sailed from Clipperton island, telling him of
the circumstances and asking him to make
the letter public in case no relief expedition
was sent out within Il specified time 1t is
said the comnany made no move toward re-
moving the sailors and Jensen's friend pub
lished the letter. Now the Phosphate COM
pany have fitted out the Viking to 90 to
their relief, but it is feared by some that the
provisions has given out and the men have
starved. 1t will take thirty days for the
Viking to reach Cllpperton island

Curious Phases Of Growth.

One who has devoted some time to
the study of finger nails states that
they grow more rapidly in children
than III adults, and that the growth
is slowest with the aged. His Obser-
yations, however. do not stop at this.
for he finds that both in childhood
and age they grow faster in summer
than in winter. The period of re-
rewal differ proportionately with the
length Of the fingers. Thus is is
more rapid in the middle fingers than
any other. Ia the fingers on either
side of the middle fingers the period
of renewal is about equal and slower.
1t is even more slow in the little fin
ger. and the slowest Of ali in the
thumb. Comparing the same fingers
with the different hands, the person
who discovered these curious phases
Of growth states that Oh an average
the nails on the left hand fingers Of
right-handed person require eighty
two days longer to renew than those
of the left. In one particular thu
growth Of the nails and hair and
beard are governed by the same law,
that Of growing more rapidly in sum.

NIaStOuOnS.

1t is positively asserted by the
Stickeen Indians that within the last
five years they have frequently seen
animals which, from the descriptions
given. must be mastodOnS. Last
spring. while out hunting. one of
these Indians came across a series of
large tracks. each the size of the
bottom of a salt barrel. sunk deep in
the moss. He followed the curious
trail for some miles. finally coming
out in full view of his game. AS a
class these Indians are the bravest
Of hunters, but the proportions o.
this new species Of game tiled the
hunter with terror, and he took to
swift and immediate flight. He de-
scribcd the creature as being as large
as post traders store, with great.
shining, ycllowishw white tusks and a
mouth large enough to swallow a
man at single gulp. He further
says that an animal was undoubtedly
Of the same species as those whose
bones and tusks lie ali over this sec
ton of the country. The fact that
other hunters have told of seeing
these monsters browsing on the herbs
up along the river gives certain
probability to the story.

recognized silver as one of the money

but as soon as Sevd succeeded, through
the medium of John Sherman in 1873,
in getting the decentralization law

price of silver in the markets O: the

THE PRICE OF SILVER

Interesting Quotations.

The idea that the laws Of supply and
tlemard has regulated the commercial
value of silver is an erroneous one. Ii
silver is only commodity. then i. is
subject to the laws OF supply and lie
mand, but as American money it is
not.
The constitution gives Congress
authority ito com money. regulate the
value thereof, and of foreign coins ana
fix the standard Of weights and meas
ures.' The action of Congress deciar-
the value thereof, actually does regal
ate the value thereof. in defiance of
any effects supply and demand may
be supposed to exercise. The only
evidence necessary to prove this asser-
ton Is TO be found in the following
quotations showing the price of silver
before it WAS demone:iZed and the
effects of the value fixed by Congress-
Tie few cents tiuctuation noticed Ill
the yearly quotations OF silver before
it was demonetized shows the very
slight effect the supply and demand
may have had in regulating the price.
After it was relieved of the Govern
ment support it was then entirely sub
ject to supply and demand. ana the
second column of quoted prices will
show how 1t fell in value and iluctuat-
ed i'll price under the law of supply
and demand. These quotations are
worthy of careful study.
