The gold reserve is down to S58, OOG,-
OOO' and still there is no sign of the
silver dollar and various other moneys
emitted by Uncle Sam, supposed to
be backed by gold, going at a dis
connt. And it is not likely they will,
either, unless the mistake is made of
Reinforcing the law which permits
the Government to collect it's custom
dues in gold. That was the prime
cause OF the maintenance of the pre-
MUM on gold in the United States
after confidence had been restored.
In 1878 when the farce of resuminp
specie payments was gone through
with, this regulation was relaxed by
the Treasury, and as a consequence
the demand for gold soon descended
to zero. 1.-THE Secretary of the Treas
ury would adopt the French system
and refuse to pay out gold in large
quantities he could soon build up a
reserve--that is to say, he could, pro-
Vlded good working balance was
maintained in the Treasury--for in
that case the bankers who are now
depicting the reserve would COM
mence to charge slight premium on
their own stocks, course which, once
resorted to, would soon check the for
elgn demand and make our creditors
prefer products to the yellow metal

A Simple Rule.

Everybody does not know that by a
very simple rule the duration of night
and day can be determined at any
time of the year. All you have to do
is to multiply the time of the suns
rising by two, and it will give you
the length of the night. Multiply the
time of setting by two andyou get the
length of the day. 1t is easily demon
strated at the time of the year when
the sun sets at six, and the day and
night are of equal duration. 1t is
just as true as the days lengthen and
shorten. Thus, as Winter approach

England and Wyoming.

A certain Mr.. Horace Plunket made
speech in the English parliament the
other day which sent the members off
into fits of laughter. The occasion was
the debate on the woman's suffrage
clause in a proposed bill. Mr.. Plunket
has lived 10 years in Wyoming, and
therefore spoke as one having author
ity. Mr.. Plunket excited the merrilnent
of his listeners by referring to "a fe-
male justice of the peace, with whom
he was we'll acquainted. He said she
knew how to use her authority and her
revolver. But the funniest thing was
when Mr.. Plunket told about women
jurors. That practice, he said, had
been abandoned in Difference to the pro-
test of one man who complained that he
had to take care of the baby all night,

Another Wisconsin Diamond.

Recently young son of Charles De-
vine, who resides on farm ~ miles
southwest of the village of Oregon,
Dane county; Wis.,, found brilliant
little stone in pebbly clay bank and
carried it home as a curiosity. The
father submitted it to William II.
Hobbs, professor of mineralogy and
metallurgy in the University of Wis.,
consin, and he said that it was a genu-
inc diamond. 1t measures three-eighths
of an inch in diameter, weighs four
carats, and is a rhombic dodecahedron,
with its 10 faces slightly rounded, one
of the signs of a good stone. It was in
the glacial drift and came of course
from the north, where biologists have
long insisted conditions exist favorable
to diamond discoveries. This specimen
is of good color and is worth perhaps
5000.
This find recalls the big diamond
found at Waukesha in 1884, which sold
for 81 900, and about which extensive
litigation occurred. Both finds are in
the same drift. The Oregon diamond
bed is among the Sugar river pearl fish.

At HALF RATE IN A BOX.
4 Nebraska Mans Solution Of tho Problena
OF Cheap Railroad Travel.

OF Cheap Railroad Travel.
The Burlington operates line to
Sheridan, Wy, at which point the
Adams Express company has an Office.
About two weeks ago man called upon
Mr.. Smith, depot agent for the Adams
Express company in Omaha, and in
quired the cost of shipping a box,
weighing about $50 pounds, to Sheri-
dan. He was informed that it would
be about $40. -... ....-s
A few minutes before train time an
express wagon brought the box to the
depot. It was unloaded, weighed,
properly marked for shipment, and i'm
mediately placed on board the express
car, preparatory to taking $50 mile
Journey.
The box was about feet long and 8
feet wide and weighed 273 pounds.
The express charges were $1e.15 and
were paid by man whose identity the
express company is now attempting to
establish. The train duly arrived in
Sheridan and the box, among other
goods, was unloaded from the express
car and stored in the depot and the
doors locked.
In about half an hour Agent Wood
was Informed that the express office
door was ajar, and the belief was voiced
that burglars were at work robbing
the place. The agent at once secured
the assistance of several men, and after
arming themselves they entered the
express Office. Nothing was found dis
turbed except the Omaha box. It was
empty. The lid had been forced from
| the box, and the contents were gone.
| When the box was critically examined,
it was found that no instrument had
been used from the outside to loosen the
cover.
Upon the inside at one end was plain.

The size of the box, the weight and the
footprints were sufficient to convince
the agent it had certainly contained {
human being, and that upon his arriva
at the end Of the journey he simply
opened the box, walked over to the door
unbolted it and disappeared.
There are many theories advanced al
to the purpose of the man in the box
Some believe that arrangements wer'
on foot to rob the express company
either on the train or at the Sherida,

pant of the box was an escaping crimi

HE PERSPIRED BLOOD.

Edward Dunn Was One of tho Very Few
Suffers From Petechial Hen,orrhage.
Edward Dunn, 80 years old, employ
ed in a printing establishment at 26
Vandewater street, and apparently per-
fectly healthy, went to the Chambers
Street hospital the other day, blood ex-
uding from the pores Of the skin of his
arm and face. He said he must have
lost much blood, but wasn't weakened
by it.
DR.. Taylor was puzzled over the phe-
nomenon and said he hardly knew how
to treat it. There was evidently no
artery severed, as the blood did not
squirt out violently, as it would have
done in that case. While the doctor
was trying to decide what he could dc
for Dunn, the curious flow stopped OF
itself. 1t had lasted about an hour.
Dunn returned to work.
Superintendent Lake of the hospital
told me last evening that Dunn's all:
ment was exceedingly rare and that he
might enjoy the distinction of figuring
in medical annals as one of a few suf
ferers from what was generally known
as petechial hemorrhage.
1T is really an emulation of BLOOD
from the pores of the skin,'' said Mr.
Lake. THAT is the generally accepted
explanation of the perspjration of BLOOD
of the Saviour. Medical opinion doe
not seem to have as yet come to al
agreement as to the cause of the mani
| festation. New York Letter.

The cartoon from Judge as re-
produced in the St. Paul Dsi;patch
Of Jan. 9Th is surely expressive,
and suggests strongly the existing
condition of the United States, yet
open to criticism, as to position of
some of the States, from an ana
tomical standpoint. New York
should hold the position held by
California, Queen Lii should be
crowded in between Louisiana and
Texas, and something beside New
England should represent the head
of the concern. No better selec-
ton of states could possibly have
been made for the intestinal part
of the figure.

A MYSTERY OF DREAMLAND.
While the Doctors We're Helpless a Boy
Vision Effected His Cure.

S1SlOh CLuOCtcu OuTcs
In Savannah, Mo-, last June, Thomas,
the 11-year-old son of farmer named
Alexander Gilpin, was stricken with
rheumatism of the right side and leg.
The pain was SO severe that his parents
were obliged to keep anything from
touching the body or limb. Drs. Mar
tin, Kerr and Jefferies of Savannah
could do nothing to stop the pain. On
Thursday, Dec. Z, he fell into what
seemed to be trance and could not be
aroused for some hours. When he fin
ally awakened, being unable to talk,
he wrote on piece of paper to his par
ents that he had seen his two little dead
brothers and sister. He said they told
him to send to a certain field and at
particular place to scrape away the
snow until they would find bed of
moss, and under the moss a bunch of
roots, which they were to bring to him.
The doubling parents yielded to his
entreaties, and going to the place found
everything as the boy had stated They
brought the roots home, and the boy
told them how he had been instructed
to prepare an ointment with them. The
ointment was made and applied to the
seat Of pain, the result being that the
next day the boy left his bed. He can
now walk as we'll as ever.
These facts are vouched for by q. J.
Hurley, the editor of the Savannah
Democrat, the physicians, and all OF
Gilpin's neighbors.-St. Joseph ono.
