Teara and Nerves..

My medical friend explains: AS the
muscular power that extends or 1ex-
es a finger is at a distance from the
part moved, so the excitement to
tears is from an irritation in a dis
tant nervous center and is removed
when the nervous center is either
soothed or exhausted. The relief
comes, not from the mere escape of
tears, which is only a symptom, but
from the cessation of the storm In
the chain. If the storm be
Gained by soothing measures-as
when we soothe a child that Is weep.
ing from fear, annoyance or injury
we quiet the centers, upon
which the effect ceases. In children
the soothing method succeeds, and
sometimes it succeeds in adults, al
though in adults the cessation OF
tears is more commonly due to ac-
tual exhaustion following a period OF
activity.-Boston Globe.

Longevity among the blras.

Small singing birds, technically
known as "warblers,n live from 8 to
IS years, providing they meet with
no accident. Ravens have been
known TO live for more than 100
years in captivity and parrots even
longer. The average life of the COM
mon barnyard fowl is Ia years;
geese wild 100, and swans 300
years. Ornithologists believe that
the extraordinary longevity of some
species of birds is natures plan OF
compensation for their feeble fertill-
ty and for the great mortality
among their youngest. Louis Re-

Craze for RIchca.

The Atlanta Constitution says: We
 must get rid of the craze for riches. It is sapplng the foundations of business and industry and running our young men. It lowers our standard of busi- ness morally and demoralizes society. In western city today one of the leaders in social and business circles is an ex-conyict who spent years In pri- son as a defaulter-in plain English as thief He is popular now and has host of friends simply because he is many times a millionaire. This is what our greed is leading us to. In the old fashioned days, when men toil- ed and waited patiently for their legit- innate investments to yield modest profit, this gilded robber would not have been suffered to enter the front door of the average plain citizen. Let us return to the simple days of our fathers. They believed in work and thrift, and summed speculation as they would the worst forms of gamb- ling,

 George II. Murphy y, United States vice commercial agent at Hamburg, sends to the Departmental of State re. port on the wages paid in the steel and iron industries, with a general review of the whole subject of Ger man wages. 1.-The average earnings of the ordinary workmen amount to less than S200 per annum. Women earn about half as much. The average wages of miners and foundry hands is less than Sl per day. The salaries of primary school teachers are S224 for men and sl79 for women, Most gov, ernment employees earn less than S400 per annum. Necessaries of life cost as much in central Europe as they do in America. Luxemburg coal costs g. per ton, eggs 2lc. per dozen, rye flour Sc. per 10. wheat flour 5c, su- gar Sc, butter 23c. beef l0c, veal and mutton 16c to 20c, fresh pork 2Oc and smoked pork 23c per pound.

His Vegetable Marrow.

The game of the Briton in a for eign land is ever the same, says II. c. Burner in December Scribner's. It changes not from generation unto gen- eration. Bid him to the feast and set before him all your wealth of cellar and garner. Spread before him the fruits of the season. Weigh down the board with the vegetables that the gardeners art can bring to perfection in or out of it's time-white potatoes, sweet potatoes, lima beans, string beans, fresh peas, sweet corn, lettuce cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, toma- toes, muskmelons, and watermelons- all you will-no word will you hear from him till he has looked over the whole assortment and discovered that you have not the vegetable marrow and that you do not raise it. Then will he break forth and cry out for his vegetable marrow, until you will figure it in your mind like unto the famous mangosteen fruit of the Ma lay peninsular, he who once eats whereof tastes never again any other fruit of the earth, finding them all as dust and ashes by the side of he mau- gosteen.
 That is to say, this will happen un- less you have eaten of the vegetable marrow and have the presence of mind to recall to the Briton's memory the fact that it is nothing but second choice summer squash, after which the meal will proceed in silence.

food and manufactured articles. Gen eral interchange of services and com modities would be re-established. This prosperity would attract an in yestment of foreign money and rates for money would be lower, for we would have an increase in the supply of money from our mines, from money sent here for investment. America would free herself from dependence on European money-lenders."

Barker to sr'KlnIey.

by Wharton Barker of Philadelphia, to Governor Mckinley of Ohio:
 "The results of the election ot No vember G. 1894, make clear the fact that the people of this country know the difference between an American policy and an allen policy. They have spoken at the ballot box upon the ta- riff issue. In the next national cleo tion they will speak upon the money question, for they must and will have financial as we'll as industrial indepen- dence. They begin now to understand that the fall in the general level of prices of all staple articles. and of mills, factories, landed estates, rail- roads, etc, is not confined to the Unit ed States, and that it has resulted from the appreciation of gold, caused by contraction of the quality of mon ey-the instrument of association-- through the demonetlzation of silver
 They want to know what policy the republican party purposes to pursue whether it will stand by British gold monometallsm, or by the bimetallsm introduced into our political system by the fathers of the republic-v vheth- CT the policy of appreciating the standard money by the degradation of silver to the great profit of the money lenders and to the ruin of those whose means are invested in productive en- terprises, is to be continued. A great and patriotic financier will desire to put the currency of his country upon permaninent and staple basis, so all monetary obligations extending over either short or long periods shall be governed by fixed and stable mea- sure of exchange. Bimetallism does not interfere with stable standard, but monemctallism, either gold or sil- yer, does do so in the most aggravated manner. The demonstration of either metal contracts the volume of money of final payment and of course contraction of money must cause a fall in the general level of prices Of all kinds of property other than debts of solvent debtors proportionate to the withdrawal of money from circulation. If gold had been demonetized instead of silver we should have had apprecia- tion of silver, and fall in the general level of prices would have followed, as 1t has done from the demonetization silver. There can be no question that the disturbance of values has been caused by the gold monometallic coun- tries advancing the value of the standard, thereby depreciating all other commodities from 35 to 50 per cent since 1873. Last year. under the lead of MT. Cleveland, the money len ders of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, acting with those of London and Berlin, dragooned congress into the repeal of the sherman act, fas- tening letters upon the debtor class and bringing great losses, in many cases ruin, to all those whose means were invested in productive indus, disclaimers, manufacturers, miners middle men who carried stocks of merchandise, were forced into bank ruptcy and the wage-earning classes into enforced idleness.
 ''The people, under gold monomet- allism, must accept lower and lower prices for commodities; they must sui fer from diminishing value of proper ty and the consequent serious injury of agriculture, trade and industry. No remedy and no relief from the dis astrous position into which gold-mon-

IT SHOULD NOT BE COMPOUNDED WITH AN ORGANIZATION WHICH HAS CLOSELY
 INITIATED ITS NAME.

From the New York Recorder, Sept. 10, 1894.
 Through similarity of titles many people have been led to confuse the Mutual Rene. fit Life Association of America-the assess ment concern recently declared insolvent by the state superintendent of insurance with the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company of Newark, one of the oldest, most successful and most reliable life in- surance companies in the country. There ought to be some legal way of preventing similarity of names that may be used by one concern to the detrirnent of another.
 The Mutual Benefit Life association per- sistently worded its advertisements so as to mislead people who were looking for sound insurance and had been advised to try the great New Jersey company. Scores of the ill-informed have been induced to accept the precarious protection of the now insolvent assessment concern in the belief that they were insuring with an old time company that has gloriously stood the test of forty years.
 On January 1, 1894, the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company of Newark proved itself one of the very staunchest concerns offset to it's Sa9, ,742 1902. AZ of liabilities, un- impeachable assets to the amount of $53, ,018, 65032. Its surplus consequently was B, ,276, BAY .S5. It does not only large business, but profitable one. In 1855 it's receipts were s, ,944 ,671. AS and its expendi- lures s, ,090 ,249.25, of which $6,667, 506.2 .21 was paid to policy holders. Its conserv- ative methods are based upon the soundest of mathematics and common sense.
 The policies of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company of Newark are strictly non- -forfeitable, and in 1893 this company paid nearly $120, 1000 of claims on policies lapsed by non- payment of premiums, but continued in force for the full amount of insurance in accordance with the company's liberal system. It is the boast of the com and more safely than any of it's respectable competitors.
 The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance com pany of Newark was organized in 1S45, and the late Justice Bradley of the United States supreme court was at one time it's mathematician. Its credit has never been under the slightest suspicion for one sec- ond.
 beg to assure our policy holders and the public that the foregoing is a true statement of facts; that THE MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of Newark, N. J., is .tsolid as 8 rock.
 She writes the most liberal policy have ever examined. The company is fully pre- pared and always ready to meet it's every obligation promptly and in full.

has excellent schools and churc hes and no drunkenness or other disorders-the miners being noted for their sobriety and general good behavior.
 Such enterprisng and deserving institu- tions as the Standard Coal Company are the great agencies for development of our sec- tion and richly deserve the encouragement end the success with which this company is meeting. The whole secret of this suc- cess lies in the fact that the Standard has a good thing and knows how to manage 1t. They are enabled to meet any competition.
 Investments which prove profitable, la- Dor well satisfied and successful manage ment of improved machinery are most con- vincing and pressing invitations to capital, and the Standard Company clearly demon- strates what can be done in the South. It deserves word of encouragement, aud the public has a right to know of it's grand success,
