RECOMMENDING OUR WINE.

Acting under instructions from Secre-
tary Morton Mr.. Murphy is to have an en-
larged mission In Europe to bespeak favor
and fair treatment for American products.
He is to be an accredited national canvas
ser, with wide commission. to recommend
the use of many food staples or luxures
which America is able TO supply in
abundance Last year Mr.. Murphy trum-
peted the praises of corn as diet. 1t is

WHAT THE PARITY OF GOLD AND
SILVER MEANS.

The most suggestive paragraph in Presi-
dent CleveIand's message is the following
Possibly, If the undertaking we have in hand
were the maintenance of a specific known
quantity OF silver at party with gold, our
ability TO do so might be estimated and gagged,
and perhaps, in view OF our unparalleled growth
and RS sources. might be favoraby passed upon.
But when our avowed endeavor is TO maintain
such parity IN regard to an amonnt OF silver III
creasing at the rate of S5O,00O,O00 yearly, with
no fixed termination to such increase, it can
hardly be SAID that a problem Is presented
whose solution is free from doubt.
This may be construed as a willingness
to allow limited coinage of silver dollars
to be maintained at parity with gold. But
this is not bimelalism nor an approach to
it. 1t is pure monometallism. 1t makes
gold the standard, the measure of value,
and admits silver only in subordinate
capacity as a medium of exchange. That
Is precisely the position the nickel now
holds. 1t is accepted as five cents without
regard to the commercial value Of the stuff
in the coin. A limited amount of them
may be so maintained. but if the amount
were limited by the am 0uDt and cost of the
metal their money value would sink to a
level with their commercial value.
Mr.. Cleveland is not certain that even a
limited amount of silver can be maintained
at parity with gold. He seems inclined to
think it may be. He does not seem to have
considered the fact that limited amount
of nickels has been kept in circulation at
more than five Zines its commercial value.
But silver and the staff in n nickel stand
on different basis. The amount of silver

1.-THE world Is full of people who think

crushed sugar, objecting TO white lump
because, as he assured me confidential

was nothing else but animal refuse.
Il explained to him that he was quite
right in his ideas excepting in two re-
spects, one Of which was that white
lump was not made from glucose and
the other that glucose was a product Of
corn and not of animal refuse. He
seemed rather to resent the information
at first, and as be proceeded to destroy
the flavor Of his coffee by the use Of
some very dark sugar which was little
more or less than glucose itself he told

One of the most curious rock forna-
tons in the world is to be seen in Ari-
zona. It is a short distance east of the
stage road between Tucson and Oracle
and stands on knoll several feet above
the surrounding sand hills. When first
seen, the effect is startling, and the mind
has to get over a shock before the pecu-
liar object can be comprehended. It Is
a most perfect representation of camel
and is formed Of one piece Of granite.
This curiosity is Of colossal size, but
perfectly proportioned. 1t is about 60
feet high and is very white and smooth.
There are very few fssures on the sur
face, and they strangely are in the
proper places to form features. The
only real projection from the surface Is
exactly placed for an eyebrow. The two
humps are plainly to be seen, and the
neck is curved beautifully.
The rock is really solid piece rising
from the ground, but the effect Of legs
is produced by a clump of dark colored
brush that grows beside the stone. The
white stone shows plainly at both sides
Of the brush, and the effect of the legs
is unmistakably produced.-Philadel-
phia Record.

And with the music that rcioicos,
Than thou art present in my days.
NJ silence. life returns 10 thee
In all the pnuses Of her breath:

And then wake ever, wake for mo.
Fun. fun is life in hidden places,
For thou art silence unto me.
Full, full Is thought In endless spaces.
Eull is my life. A silent sea
Lies round all shores with long embraces.
Thou art like silence all unvexed,
Though Wild words part my soul from
thoe;
Thou art like silence unperplcxed,
A secret and a mystery
Between one football and the next.
Most dear pause in a mellow lay.
Thou art inwovcn with every nir;
with thee tho widest tempests play
And snatches Of thee everywhere
Make little heavens throughout a day.
Darkness and solitude shine for mo,
For life's fair outward part are rife
The silver noises; let them be.
Il IS tho very soul Of life
Listens for thee, listens for thee.
Oh, pause between the sobs OF carcsl
Oh, thought within all thought that IS

Thou art the form Of melodios,
And thou the ecstasy Of prayers.
