SQUIRE HAS A SCHEME.
How He Would Please All Sides on
the Silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-SQuire of the
State of Washington this morning intro
dnced in the Senate an amendment 10 the
silver bill, embracing about everything
demanded on both sides Of the question.
1t provides that the owner of bullion, the
product of mines or re6neries In the
United States. may deposit it at any mint
in an amount not less than 500 in value,
to be coued into standard dollars of the
present weight. There shall only be paid
to the person depositiug the bullion such
number OF dollars as are equal to the COM
mercial value of the silver bullion on the
dag OF deposit. the difference between the
commercial value and the mint value to
be retained by the Government as seig-
niorage The deposit of bullion for COIN
age is not to exceed 100000 per month
and when the number of silver dollars
coined shall reach the sum of 500, ,000. 600
further coinage shall cease. The seignior-
age is to be retained in the treasury as
reserve fund for the purpose Of maintain
ing the parity of every dollar issued under
this act. These silver dollars are to be
legal tender in all payments at full value
and no certificates are to be issued to rep
resent them. The Secretary Of the Treas
ury is authorized to issue bonds, the in-
terest not to exceed per cent. redeemable
at the pleasure of the United States after
five years, for the purpose of maintaining
ell money at par with the gold dollar. The
National Banking Association shall be en-
titled to receive circulating notes to the
par value of bonds on deposit, provided
the aggregate of such notes, tor which any
association is liable. shall not exceed the
ca apital stock paid in.
The amendment is. in fact. new bill,
striking out all of the old bill after the en-
acting clause. 1t is understood Teller,
Allison. Sherman and others say it is the
best compromise yet suggested.
After Squire's amendment to the silver
bill had been presented, the resolution
heretofore offered by Allen (Pop.) Of Ne
braska, calling for information as to money
borrowed by the United States, il any,
since 1885. was agreed TO.

VERY KIND OF HIM.
The Austrian Minister of Finance
Proptesies Concerning America.


VIENNA, Oct. 1O.-Minister Stein bach,
referring to the financial situation to-day
in the Reichsrath. said the Austrian
securities which were flowing back con-
sisted chiefly of silver rentes. Foreign
countries now were frightened at the very
name of silver. and therefore Austria ad-
hered to the view existing in connection
with that metal. The Finance Minister
predicted that in the course OF few years
Austria would possess the whole amount
of gold she required while the United
States would be passing through an unpre-
cedented crisis. Austria. he added, was
free from difficulties and the currency
must not be restricted or inflated. The
state of affairs in America showed to what
imitation led. The Minister of War pre-
sented bill to reorganize and increase the
LaDdwehr, remarking that the growth OF
the army estimates would continue owing
to political conditions which were not
likely to alter.

weather and nieteorology.

Let us illustrate the difference between
weather and meteorology. A man sets out
from his warm and comfortable suburban
house, He finds a thin but vigorous snow
storm beating in his face. The wind is
strong and chilling without being tenn
pestuous. The particles of snow sting his
skin: The wind whistles in his ears He
| finds it rough. wintry day. He says as
much to other suburban men who are COM
ing edgewise up to the station, and they
agree with him. This is weather or condi-
| tions OF the air affecting human bodies and
minds.
Now, at the top of the cupola on the roof
of the postofilce, on the same day, there is a
thermometer of extreme nicely of construc-
ton, and an thermometer which measures
every puff of wind, and a rain gauge or
snow gauge or whatever it may be. There
Is no human being there out of doors. Ev-
erythng is automatically recorded, and
man merely comes out occasionally and
waits on these machines They record and
record all day, and at the end of the day
their records are summed up into figures,
which say that the temperature was above
the normal and the wind was of moderate
velocity, and the precipitation was half an
inchl Your rough wintry day has vanished
in column of unmeaning figures.
Now, monthly meteorological report"
is but an aggregation of such unfeeling fig-
ures, and while all these days may have
left total impression on the part of all the
people who experienced them of unusual
roughness and wintriness, the monthly
meteorological report tells us that there
has been an excess" of 1920 plus degrees
of temperature during the MONTH That is
meteorology.
But people donot care about meteorology.
The thing that interests them is weather.

Popularity of the Soft Hat.

With the advent of the soft felt hat
named after Kossuth began the decline Of
the silk hat. The latter still remains an
adjunct of ceremony. 1t has been pushed
almost entirely out of the daily life of the
masses. 1t is a surprise that what is often
called the stovepipe hat held its place so
long as it did, for it suggested very little of
comfort. Perhaps it was simply endured
because it was compromise between the
steeple hat of the Puritans and the high
but less stiff and formal hat of the later
Elizabethan period. 1t has been estimated
that the output of the soft hat industry in
this country is almost 5000, 600 hats a
month. They are recognized in Europe as
the best in material and most artistic in
style and finish that are made. Then, too,
we control most Of the trade in South
America and Mexico--Frank H. Stauffer

A Hairbreadth Escnne.

"a man is not safe from bullets any
where, was heard to remark Captain Eu-
gene May the other day to a lot of old COM
rades. II have reason to appreciate the
truth Of this observation when | reflect
upon an experience had at jackson, Miss,
once during the war. Bullets were flying
around pretty lively, but we felt fairly safe,
as we were behind a high embankment
which extended some distance above our
heads. Well, there wasn't anything to do
just then, so | stretched out beneath a cais-
son with my head just behind n wheel
1.-THE last thing in the world seemed the
coming of bullet into the shade of that
caisson. But while was lying there tax
ing it easy suddenly heard a sharp 'sping'
just behind my head. 1t Sras unmistaka-
bly, the noise Of bullet hitting something.
Well, I turned over and looked at the
wheel, and, by George, there was bullet
imbedded in the tire of the wheel Just about
an inch from where my head had been. II
that tire had been fraction less wide, I'd
have got the bullet in the head. wasn't
sleepy after that, | can tell you, and moved
away from there quickly. New Orleans

Talking For an English Butler.

Dawson, our butler at Smiths private no
tel, yields the same blighting influence on
our republican spirits, accustomed to the
soft solicitations of the negro waiter or the
comfortable indifference of the freeborn
American. We never indulge in any ordi-
nary, frivolous conversation when Dawson
is serving us at dinner We talk up to
him so far as we are able, and before we ut
ter any remark we inquire mentally wheth-
er Dawson is likely to think it good form.
But the other afternoon | had tea four
times between and Z o'clock and went to
the dinner table well stimulated and with
something of my usual national nonchal-
ance. Accordingly maintained through

rected.

inanities at their face value-I gave a by

Milk has many peculiarities that are

through which to carry certain forms dis

of killing microbes, and microbes Of the
most deadly disease. If the cholera bacillus
is put into milk drawn fresh from the cow,
it dies within an EoGr Fresh goats milk
has similar properties, only not so deadly.
The bacillus dies within five hours when
put in the latter, but the bacillus of ty-
phoid fever dies within five hours in goats
milk and not before "A hours in cows milk.
Nearly all Of the other microbes of diseases
known to science are killed in the same
way by cows and goats milk, the time re-
quired by the process varying in different
diseases.
But milk to possess this microbe destroy
ing power must be fresh, as after four or
five days it has no effect upon the microbes.
Milk that is kept at a temperature Of l3l

the germs after an hour, and this fact is of
considerable interest TO the profession in

Torpedo Boats In the Civil War.

Nothing important succeeded Fultons
boat till the time of the civil war, when the
Confederates constructed some cigar shaped
vessels of sheet iron, TO be driven by screw
worked by hand and submerged by the ad-
mission of water. The descent and ascent
were regulated by rudders OF paddles on
the sides of the boat, in much the same way
as in the Bushnell boat These boats were
provided with floating torpedoes that
dragged astern and were intended to ex-
plode by striking against the bottom Of a
ship under which the torpedo boat should
pass. They had also torpedoes set on a spar
standing out from the bow of the boat.
One of these spared torpedoes destroyed
the federal blockader Housatonic, of
Charleston, but the torpedo boat and her
crew of nine men were also lost by being
caught in the wreck of the sinking ship.
The same torpedo boat had previously
drowned % members of her successive
crews by many accidents due to her de-
fects.-St. Nicholas.

considering whether it would not be good

Talking of patent medicines-you
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors-some of them are between you
and us. They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands won't cure
you. You'd believe in patent medi
cines if they didn't profess to cure
everything-and so, between the ex-
periments of doctors, and the expert
ence Of patent medicines that are sold
only because there's money in the
" stuff" you lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the pre-
scription that cures by what you read
in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no
better way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and take the
risk of its doing just what it processes
TO do.
