The demonish folding bed has clutched and slain another victim. In New York city Mrs. German was cleaning her bed with naphtha. She had not much sense, for while she rubbed in the explosive fluid with one hand she carried lighted candle in the other. Naturally the fumes from the naphtha foated to the candle and burst into flame. conduct ing the fire to the vessel which held the liquid. Mrs. German, stupefed and frightened, fell forward upon the bed If it had been an ordinary bed, this might have saved her. But it was a folding bed, and the internal machine closed over her and locked her in, and she could not lift the weight from her body. Her charred remains were taken to an undertaking establishment after the firemen had extinguished the flames in the house.

In all probability not vote will be changed by the debate now on in congress and yet the house has another week of silver debate ahead of it before the vot- ing begins. The unconditiona! repeal men appear to grow more confident of the result, although they admit that if the rumor which is current, that forty or fifty of the republicans have agreed to vote with the silver men for the amendment providing for the free coinage of silver at ratio of 20 to l, shall prove to be true they will be de feated and the amendment adopted That rumor, however, appears to have very slender foundation, as Represent ative Bland, the silver leader, says he knows nothing about any such arrange ment and does not believe that it exists and ex Speaker Reed says the republi cans of the house, with less than twenty exceptions, will vote for unconditiona
 repeal.

WHAT does the word ''ratio' mean in it's relation to gold an silver askeda correspondent of the Hartford Times. Here is the answer. ''The ratio between gold and silver coins means the portion of the metal in each-as determined by the grains in each; in other words, by the weight. Thus, the old law of 1192 ordained that the silver dollar should contain 37t grains of pure silver-oqulv- alent to the ruling value of the Spanish milled dollar; while the gold eagle (SlO) should contain 247 5-10 grains, or 24 75- 100 grains to the dollar, which made the ratio of the value of silver to gold, by
 weight, as to 15. In 1884 the weight of pure gold in the eagle was reduced to
 232 grains, no change being made in the weight or fineness of the silver dollar This made an ounce in gold equal as z legal tender to ,16 O45 ounces of silver It made a practical increase in the lega value of the previous gold coinage, oi nearly : per cent. In 1887 the compost tion of both gold and silver coins was changed, but without changing the \ quantity of pure silver in the dollar
 while the quantity of pure gold in tho
 eagle was increased 70 2322-10 grains
 thus making the legal ratio betweer
 gold and silver by weight as r SSS O silver to one of gold. That has beer
 the legal proportion, to the present time
 The quantity of pure silver in the uni dollar of the United States has re
 mained unchanged since 17'2, whel
 congress first ordained the dollar. Tn
 weight of the gold eagle has beel changed twice, as above stated"

A Patriotic Tribute to the Nations
 Greatest Hero.
His Name stands Uuexcelied and Majestic Among the Great Men of tho Earth A Rare Blending of Moral and

fSpec,al Letter.l

[Spec,al Letterl
 The fame of George Washington, the hero of the American revolution and the founder of the American republic, will never grow old or lose the fresh- ness of its immortal youth. On the con- trary, wide and great as it now is, it is likely to grow wider and greater still as the fermenting and heaving political forces of our modern times enter upon the death struggle with the ancient sys- tems of kingcra and tyranny which yet bear rule in so large part of the civilized world. As nation after nation follows our example-as France has al- ready so conspicuously done-and cuts loose from monarchy and hereditary nobility, the splendid name of the great hero and leader whose sword won the independence of his country, and whose wisdom founded and cemented, more than hundred years age, the first great republic since the disastrous fall of Greece and Rome, will shine with a constantly increasing luster.
 When great man is sent into the world to accomplish a great work he does not usually come with crown and scepter. or any of the outward symbols of power. Only very few really great men of action in all the worlds history have been born to hereditary thrones. Alexander and Frederick and perhaps Gustavus Adolphus and two or three others of lesser note, would exhaust the list. The Caesar, the Cromwells, the Napoleons, the Washingtons were not born to the purple. No thunders of &C., clamation or of cannon proclaimed the moment of their birth; no sounding titles were showered upon their baby heads; no happy, anxious peoples hung over their royal cradles But better far than all these honors and trappings which have been so often wasted upon the worthless scions of monarchy, each one of these came into the world with a scepter of power, a wand of authority in his little right hand whic the great God had given him, and which, though invisible then, was to rule over men and nations with more than kingly sway.
 There is no need to recount in detail the story of Washington's life. The American people and the lovers of lib erty throughout the earth already know it by heart. The broad outline, from his birth in Westmoreland, Va, on the 22d of February, l732, to his death at historic Mount Vernon on the lith of December, l709, shows the sue cessive stages of its development; from the truthful and manly boy to the youthful surveyor and gallant militia
