He has felt our saying-wc have thought
him down. This heredity business is
the mistake of the age. Whatever else
we are, We are Gods children, and he
has no pet child, and if LIE has it is the
one that has gone away. Not the one
who has stayed at home and lied about
his brother. Because Your father and
mother both died of consumption have
you got to die with it? Please get that
out of your mind. This hereditv bust

A SHARP SCHOLAR.
How He Fooled tie Old Professor
with IL Watch.

The examinations at a certain prep"
school We're in progress, says the New
York Sun. The boys were working
busily over their papers, and the grim
old professor was watching sharply
from his desk.
Presently he noticed that one of the
students, a prominent nc'cr-dO-wcll,
was consulting his watch with cOnsid-
cradle frequency. The professor studied
him In five minutes he had looked at
the tmepiece three times.
This was enough for the guardian.
He called the student to his desk and
demanded the watch. 1t was given
him and he opened it. Across the face
was piece of paper bearing the legend
Pooled"
But the worthy professor was not to
be so easily deceived. He gave the stu
dent a sharp, knowing glance. turned
the timepicce over and opened the back
cover. 1t opened with considerable
difficulty and behold there was another
slip of paper bearing the information,

Tobacco at Yale College.

DR.. Seaver, of Yale college, is waging
war upon the habit Of tobacco smoking,
which some Of the students there in
dulgc in. He is the physician Of the
college and the professor of athletics, a
man of science who follows scientific
methods in any investigation he may
undertake. He has been engaged for
nine years in observing the effects Otto
bacco smoking upon the bodies and
minds of the Yale students, and he
has just published remarkable budget
of statistics.
Dir. Seayer informs the public that
the students of Yale who indulge in to-
baccO smoking are in error in physical
vigor and mental ability to those who
DO not. According to his reckoning,
the smokers have less lung power than
the anti-sm0kers; they have less chest
initiating capacity; they are of less
bodily weight, and they arr even of
less height. The muscular and nervous
power of the smoking student is nota
bly, and noticeable less than that of the
anti-smokine. From an athletic point
of view, therefore, the Yale pro lessor
of athletics considers himself justified
in waging war upon the tobacco habit.
Not only in physical way, but also
in an intellectual way, the Yale smok-
crs are inferior to the anti-snokers.
The smoking habit is disadvantageous
to scholarship. OF those students who,
within a given time, have received
Junior appointments above disserta-
tons, only , per cent were smokers,
and very few smokers received APP
pointments of any kind. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the brain powers
of the smokers at Yale are far inferior
to those OF the anti-SmOkcrs.
The demonstrations Of DR.. Seaver APP
pear to be influencing the Yale mind
He is able to report that 20 per cent of
the senior class in college do not smoke :;
that the leading athletes do not smoke,
and that not a single candidate for the
rowing crew is a smoker.
Young America, athletic, intellectual
and ethical, can ruminate upon Yale's
statistics collected by DR.. Seaver.

A Melancholy Affair.

Social customs III Japan differ widely
from those which prevail among us.
Over there, for instance, n wedding
must be rather OF a melancholy affair.
1t is not good form for the bride to adj
NIT that she is glad to get married.
When she is told of the prospect she
is expected to howl loudly and long.
Also she must keep it up by day and
by night until the ceremony takes
place After She has been richly
dressed for the event she must renew
her shricbs and hang back until one Of
the attendants throws Il veil over her
face Then an Old bag takes her on
her back and carries her to n sedan
chair. When she arrives at the bride
groom'S residence she is wife; the
simple ride in the dowry chair being
the only legal ceremony required,

he Two Dollars.
From the Pioneer Press.


Austin. 13.-To the Editor: I have
bu-hel of potatoes and bushel of " heat
which is my surplus living. Now, the
government sends me two blanks, one
gold and the other paper, and both
marked [. S, which is the sign of the
government; and the government binds
herself to guard and to protect my sur
plus exchange.
Now, | invest in the gold blank my
potatoes, worth dollar "a bushel; also
in the paper the wheat, worth the same,
and the money is complete.
Now | am taxed dollars to live and
support the government; and | ex-
change to the government the price of
my surplus living that she may live as
we live; and now the question: ''poes
not the government fortit her obligation
when she pays off the paper lthe wheat
with the gold (the po;atoes)?
| never can see how money of any
kind that has been it use can be sent to
the trcasurer's office without vested
price Of some mans labor.
A. Q. I!oLLrsTER.
The above shows how con ruacdly
great many people think on the money
question, and into what difficulties they
are plunged by some of It's simple is
sues. We are not ourselves quite GER
tain Of what orr correspondent is driv-
ing at; but it appears to us that he has
struck upon the rock that has wrecked
so many, the inability to realize that
the paper dollar, without an equal coin
reserve behind it, is ONLY a represent
alive of the debt and not Of existing
value. He gets paper dollar for his
wheat, and gold dollar for his potatoes i:
and if the gold dollar has to be used to
pay the paper dollar. then 1t seems to
him that the value ofthe wheat has dis
appeared into thin air. His trouble is
that he does not begin his argument at
the right point. Let him commence
one step farther back. Before that
paper dollar which the government is
! sued, and which some one gave him for
/ his wheat, was in existence, there was
! the gold dollar only. Now the govern
ment, needing more money thar it pos
sesscd, or desiring more things than it
! could pay for, determined TO borrow.
1t issued paper dollar, which il only a
| promise to pay gold do!ler at some
/ future time, and gave it to some man for
his service or his wheat, or some other
| value. The paper dollar thcrea 'tcrrep-
resented the governments debt to that
man, to be discharged when it was able.
| 1t is discharged when the government
gets back the two dollars as suggested
in this letter. The value represented
by the wheat has gone to pay for the
value furnished by the man who first
received the paper promise in exchange
for it. No value has been destroyed or
lost in the transfer. 1t is the simple
process of debt paying, with which the
farmer is familiar who gives a bushel
of this years crop COR liability incurred
perhaps many years ago. 1t Is necessa-
ry that every man keep constantly in
mind the distinction between a promise
to pay and a piece Of medal that con-
tains in itself the value of that promise
1t is the difference between good
money and bad, between property and
debt.

A Tariff for Revenue Only

What is a Tariff for revenue ONLY?
GEO. T. DoLLARD.
BELLFIELD, \. D., July 2G, 1891.
As conceded by the Democratic party
Tariff for revenue only is a mere ouib-
bic, meant to afford wide enough scope
for trickery and treacherv in Tariff
manipulation, 1t means nothing, and il
was never intended to mean ANYTHING.
What a Tariff for revenue ONLY should
be, strictly speaking and with honest in
tentlon, Is uniform Tariff of ten, twenty
or thirty per cent, ad valorem upon
every article that we import from any
foreign country, whether raw material
or manufactured goods. 1t should be
uniformly and exactly imposed upon
every article in precisely the same pro.
duction, with the sole object of raising
revenue.
1t was injected into the Democratic
platform at Chicago a. a political catcf-

RECEDiNG GUMS.
People Losing Their Teeth From n
Cause Little Understood.

People are losing their teeth from q
new cause nowadays" said Il dental
surgeon. 1T is a complaint which
seems to have become common only
within the last fifteen years or so. Re
cession of the gums it is called. Tar
tar is deposited at an abnormal rate,
and this carbonate of lime secretcd
from the saliva pushes the gums back
from the teeth. After a while, if moth
ing is done to prevent. the trouble gets
as far as the sockets, which become in
famed. Finally the teeth fail out.
"A well known statesman came to me
fourteen years ago with 4 bad case Of
the disease. Every tooth in his head
was loose, and one of them was so far
gone that took it between my thumb
and finger and quietly lifted it out.
Within three months | had fixed him
up so that all the rest of his dental
equipment was perfectly solid in his
removing the destructive tartar and
preventing it from accommodating again,
also with the aid of il little medicine
applied to the gums. The distinguished
patient of whom | speak comes 10 me
every two or three months and under
goes a little treatment. In that way l
have been able TO keep his teeth for
him thus far.
1t is very peculiar disease. In q
case so far advanced as the one | have
described it can hardly be cured. That
is to say. the tendency to an aCCumula-
ton of tartar cannot be stopped. All
that can be done is to prevent it from
accommodating by scraping it away at
intervals and by medicinal applications
to the gums. In an early stage. how
ever, the complaint is perfectly durable,
and the tendency in most cases can be
overcome But much care and cOntin-
ual attention are required. Otherwise
the person will have lost some of his
teeth by the time he is forty years Old
and after that the rest of them will 20
rapidly. The making Of false teeth has
arrived at great perfection, but at best
they are poor substitutes.
AS | have said. this may be re-
garded as a new disease. At all events,
1t is only in recent years that it has be-
come prevalent. 1t is important that
peoples attention should be called to
II. From seven years to twenty care
must be taken Of the teeth lest they de
cay. There is little danger of that
after the twentieth year is passed. But
from that time on one should look out
for tartar A mouth affected in the
way | speak of is almost worse than Il
badly dccayed mouth. The trouble
means certain loss of the teeth unless
looked out for and treated. ashing-
