Young America builds bigger than his
ferefathers. Wyoming is not an excep-
tionally large state, yet IL is as big as the
six states Of New England and Indiana
combined. Indiana itself Is the size Of Por-
tugal and is larger than Ireland. 1t iswith
morn than ordinary curiosity that one ap-
proach n, Wyoming during a course Of
study OF the new western states. From the
palace cars Of the railroad that carries a
tide of transcontinental travel across Its
full length there is little to see but brown
bunch grass, and yet we know that on its
surface Of 1856 miles Of length and 2I5 miles
of width are many mountain ranges and
noble river threaded valleys Of such beauty
that great block Of the land is to be for
ever preserved in its present condition as
the Yellowstone National park. We know
that for years this had been a stockman's
paradise, the greatest seat Of the cattle
industry north of Texas the stamping
ground Of the picturesque cowboys who
had taken the place Of the hunters who
came from the most distant points in
Europe to kill big game there.
We know that in the mysterious depths
of this huge state the decline Of its first
great activity was marked by peculiar
disorder that necessitated the calling out
of troops. But that was flash in pan,
much exaggerated at distance and easily
quieted at the time. For the rest, most
well informed citizens outside the state
know nothing more than the misnaming OF
the state implies, for the pretty Indian
word Wyoming, copying the name of his
toric locality in the east, is said to mean
plains land. n--Julian Ralph In Harper's.

When cholera was SO greatly feared in
Baltimore in 1867 and the years following,
DIR. Piggot, a celebrated chemist OF the
time, announced that the only disinfectant
of any usein the cholera fight was Copptras,
or sulphate of iron, and he made n compo-
sition Of charcoal and copperas which was
said to have been invaluable In its dsin-
fecting properties, The idea is, first, pro

ing gas, carrying with it millions of disease
germs, then have the necessary agent to de
stroy the germs after they are absorbed.
SCOT is claimed to be superior to charcoal
because it contains some of the unoxidized
hydrocarbons contained in the smoke from
the fuel, and among these hydrocarbons is

it was presumed the island was destroyed

at the rate of about mile an hour Its ex-
tent was about 800 feet each way, and it
contained much forest growth, many ofthe

What is the history Of the mustache'

worn without boards, but in the eonquering
days of the Roman empire several half civ

the influence of the Romans and who
wished to be rid of the name of barbara, OF
wearers of Boards attempted to shave in
imitation of their conquerers. But as they
had very imperfect implements for thu
purpose and as the upper lip is VIGOROUSLY

they were unable TO make n clean Job of il

The indications favor the speedy re-
peal of the Sherman Act, providing
for the purchase Of about a million
dollars worth OF silver per week. 1t
seems singular that 50 small an out
lay should produce the stringency in
the money market that prevails, and
what Is more, we are satisfied that 9th.
er causes operated to produce it. In
the first place. the Government paid
for this silver in notes, which were
convertible into gold, but that gold
went into the pockets OF our own peo-
pie. and not into the pockets OF Euro.
peans.
We therefore say the stringency
was produced by other causes. Tie
outcry raised against the measure by
Interested parties did more harm than
the measure itself. 1t did not lead to
the export OF gold as claimed, but the
balance Of trade was against Out
country. and either gold OF bonds had
to be shipped to pay that balance. II
bonds were sold by Europeans 1t wat
because of the demand for gold by tht
different countries and not because o
the purchase OF silver.
When the balance OF trade turns In
favor of our country, gold flows in
and when it is against U.s. gold flows
out. The Sherman Act may be 70
pealed, the purchase OF silver may bt
stopped, but if we continue to impor
more goods than we export, the gold
will 20 to pay the balance, and oul
