Of doing any good in the world, news
papers have castigators They are not
critics. A critic is intelligent; he can
see good and evil. and separating them
find that the former overcomes the latter.
He sees many times more good than evil.
But the castigator picks out one item
which touches his personality, his
prejudice, or his ignorance and from that
condemns the paperlwhich has come under
his evil eye without reference to the
good that is in it--without reference to
the manly and noble work it may be do.

Care Of tho Feet Insures Comfort.

Care of the feet is an economy Of strength
as Well as of stockings Aside from the
daily BATH the feet should be washed at
least once day. This is a matter Of a few
moments and insures neatness, rest and
comfort. If the tired shop girl or sales
woman who has been standing for 10 hours
would dip her feet into a basin of cool
water instead Of curling her bang or doing
up her back hair, she would have a lighter
step and feel more like walking home than
usual
Walking heats the feet, standing causes
them to swell and both are tiresome and
exhaustive when prolonged. There are va
rious kinds of foot baths, and authorities
differ as TO their value. Hot water enlarges
the feet by drawing the blood to them.
When used, they should be rubbed or exer-
cised before attempting to put on tight
boot Mustard and hot water in foot bath
will sidetrack fever if taken in time, cure
a nervous headache and induce sleep. Bun.
ions, corns and callounness are natures
protests against bad shoe leather. Two hot
foot baths week and a little pedicuring
will remove the cause Of much discomfort

Dainty and Paiatable Sandwiches.

The eminent Francatelli, who was pupil
Of Careme aud chef TO her majesty the
queen and subsequently to the Reform

being stamped out in circular form and
fried In clarified butter TO a light golden
color. Between two of these croutons was
placed n preparation Of minced cooked
chicken and ham mixed with curry paste
The sandwiches were then anointed with
grated parmesan mingled with butter and
baked for five minutes.
Francatell's Victoria" sandwiches were
composed Of thin brown bread and butter,
with layers Of thinly sliced hard boiled
eggs, small salads and cleansed hllets OF
anchovies between the layers. And TO the

THERE Is no scarcity Of currency
in this country. According to the
various times at " hich the estimate
has been made there Is more or less per
capita In this country. but whatever the
average rate. 1t has always been above
that Of the United Kingdom-the
richest and most prosperous country in
the world. A writer In the century says
"The per capita Of the United Kingdom,
is SIT 30: Of Germany, $40 40; Of France,
$4S11. In the United States, before the
outflow OF gold began it was 500 69,
and at the beginning of June
it was &2S So France has q
larger per capita because It has not the
system OF checks and credits IN use In
other countries" With the banking
and clearing house facilities, the boards
of trade, and exchanges all over this
country there Is not so much need oil

have implicit trust will be basis fol

DON'T BE A FOOL.

JUN DE- - FOOEs
The various vagaries rampant at
such time as this concerning finance
and trade are probably more lamentable
than amazing They are both amazing
and lamentable to a degree that inclines
one to doubt the intelligence and civili-
zation Of the age; and to believe Car
lyle's bitter taunt that our boosted nine
teenth century civilization brings us TO
the condition only Of emerging from bar
barsm.
Trade and finance are not complicated
subjects-they are among the simplest
with which the human mind has to deal.
They ca mot be complicated till fools.
cranks, selfish and dishonest men begin
to make laws TO change them from
nor NAL TO abnormal conditions. The
trade Of a nation is governed by the same
simple laws which govern trade between
communities and individuals-the laws
Of barter, sale and exchange phe-
nomena Of supply and demand, Of loss
aud gain.
With a nation these are the same,
except in degree, as with every individ-
ual man in It,
We have about 10000. 600 people in
this nation. They must live
The demand for shoes, hats, iron, STEEL
coal, silver, wheat, wool and all the
necessities and Injuries Of our present
style Of lie will not. cannot cease. That
is one phenomenon that applies to the
human race, collectively and individu-
ally, with universal and increasing
force II Is the ebb in the undulatory
movement of life-it is demand
Demand produces supply Whenever
or wherever there is demand for iron
or bread OF clothes there will, in the
nature Of the case, be miners of ore
tillers Of the soil and mills to work the
products into the various articles OF
necessity and luxury. The supply for
that demand is as inevitable as the revo-
luton of the planets, as the flow Of the
tide that has ebbed These phenomena
are as simple in their natural state as the
phenomena which govern the rotations
Of the sun and the moon. RI they are
interfered with by legislatures composed
OF men who are careless, ignorant, sci
fish, venal, they become complex and
men say, II do not understand tn,
laws Of trade; do not understand tn,
tariff; do not understand finance"
Trade is the ebb and flow of the sur
plus It is the exchange one man makes
out Of his abundance to supply another
mans wants. Finance Is the science Of
the currency the money known to boil
and estimated az a fixed value by both AZ
a measure of exchange.
That is all there is In either of thes,
subjects out OF which, for variouI
reasons Of their own, many politicians
not statesmen, make such perplexities
and then prophesy such disasters.
All any man has TO do is, min,

THE argument that the farmers have
lost moneyby the dislocation, the be-
trayal or the demonstration Of silver is
not sound or true. Silver has not been
dislocated, betrayed or demonitized.
silver dollar will be accepted as 100
cents now as heretofore, because it is
exchangeable in this country for gold
it has backing of metal whose intrinsic
value is settled all over the world. whicl
is acceptable anywhere. For every dol
lars worth Of produce farmer sold he
got dollars worth Of something in re-
turn at precisely the same rate Of
measurement and valuation 1t Is not
logical OF wise to refer to the ale ged
loss Of farmers by the depreciation Of
the value Of silver bullion The farmers
could not lose on bullion, because they
did not have bullion, but currency,
backed by gold. The currency might
have been iron or paper. II does not

Of the final delivery fixes the value
Of the intermediate delivery-the cur
