The Missouri democratic platform
as adopted at Kansas City last week
is for the free coinLge of silver at
some ratio. Who would have thought
that silver Dick Bland could have
been roped into making such q COM
promise as this with the enemies of
silver? John Sherman is for free coin
age at some ratio. Sherman will
vote for free coinage bill if 625
grains are put in the dollar instead of
412g, but honest bimetallists proceed
upon the theory that the market value
of the two metals, gold and silver, is
fixed by the value at the mint. In
late years the price Of gold has been
fixed by statuary law and the price Of
silver by the demand of the silver
smiths and the supply Of the mines.
Free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l is
the issue on the silver question. We
would see every gold-bug in paradise
before we would add grain of sill
yer to the dollar for their benefit

The constant avowal by some Of our
republican friends that the country is
all right, does not sound we'll along
with the statements Of their speakers
who can "beat the populists" howl
ing calamity. The facts are that
everybody who thinks at all knows
hat all is not right. The republicans
say the trouble was all brought about
since March A, 1913, by a 'change"
without the passage Of a single law
except what they supported, The
democrats say the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill less than five years ago did
the mischief. The populists clam
that the panic of 1898 and 1894 was
brought about by the same natural
causes, which produced the panic of
1873 and that of 1887, viz: a contrac-
tioL of the currency of the nation I'M
til it is far too limited to do the bust
ness of the country, and at the same
time doubling, nay, trebliDg the value
of bonds, notes and other evidences of
debt, as well as the gold possessed by
brokers and money dealers. This re-
duction of the amount of the circulat-
ing medium reduced the price of
labor, and the value Of farm products
as we'll. Now which is the most
reasonable position?

BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt

How to Attend to a Lawn.

The beauty of a lawn depends largely
on the neatness with which it is kept.
Dead leaves, rubbish and refuse of all
kinds should be kept from disfguring
its surface. Lawn rakes are made Of
bent wire, which take up everything
which may be scattered over the grass
without in the least injuring its roots,
as is done by an iron toothed rake. A
lawn mower is also necessary. For small
yards one with a narrow cut will do.
but on larger grounds one with wider
swath is advisable, as it greatly expe-
dites the labor of properly caring for
the lawn.
Do not spread coarse fertilizers over
the lawn, as the fertilizing properties
are dissipated and wasted in winter by
the action of the elements. Very little
nutriment from it reaches the soil, and
as protection it is valueless. In the
spring scatter bone meal or some such
concentrated fertilizer over the soil as
soon as the grass shows tendency tc
begin to grow.

FREE COAL AND TAXED SUGAR.

'The Consumer Pays the Tax" Say the
Democrats, So See What 1t Means.
In considering the effect Of free coal
and tax upon sugar it must be remem.
bered that, according to the Democratic
theory, the consumer pays the tax.
Our imports of coal In 1899 were
1894, 817 tons, upon which was collect
ed duty Of 70 cents per ton, or total
Of 81, 028, 613 in a single year. This is
the extent Of the relief that would DO
accorded to the American people by free
coal
Our consumption Of sugar last year
was a, 343, 200, 500 pounds, which, at an
average price of az cents per pound,
would be worth $1t9, 43S, 26l. An ad
valorem tariff Of 40 per cent upon this
amount would be $47, 775, 304. A diff
ferential duty of one-eighth cent upon
4,343, 900, 500 pounds would be IS, AGO.
012, making total breakfast table tax
Of $58, 204, 316.
Free coal would thus, according to
the Democratic theory Of the consumer
paying the tax, effect saving to the
people of $1,023,613 or ~ cents per
capita, while taxed sugar would cost
them $53, 204, $40, or " cents for every
man, woman and child in the country.
The direct loss by such Democratic leg
islation would have been TON cents for
every individual, total additional
surden Of e6a, $50, 70a g year

How Purple Became the Royal Color.

Purple was selected as the color for
royalty because of its enormous cost and
rarity. The only purple known to the
ancients was the Tyrian purple, which
was obtained in minute quantities only
from Mediterranean species of shellfish
called the murex. In the time of Cicero
wool double dyed with this color was
so excessively dear that single pound
weight cost thousand denarii, or about
$175. A single murex only yielded a
little drop of the secretion; consequent
ly very large numbers had to be taken
in order to obtain enough to dye even a
small amount of wool. Among the ma
tions Of antiquity there were some with
whom it was death for any one except
the sovereign or supreme judges to wear
garments dyed with Tyrian purple.
Upon the accession of julius Caesar a
law was passed forbidding any private
person to wear it.

How to Clear the Voice.

Methods of many singers differ as to
the care of the voice, but for others
benefit tits well to know some of them.
Gallmeyer, the famous soubrette, treats
her throat before each performance to a
good rubbing with rum and glycerin.
Labatt, the great Swedish tenor, ate two
salt pickles before going ON to sing.
Wachtel used the yolk of an egg with
sugar. Many drink beer, champagne,
soda water or punch. Walter, the tenor,
drinks cold coffee without cream, and
Geistinger relies on glass Of grog.
Xelia Trebelli, the famous contralto
who died not long ago, always drank
lemonade before she went ON the stage.
Kinderman chewed dried prunes during
the intervals, and Southeino swore by a
pinch of snuff before each aria. Some
singers will not smoke at all on the day
they expect to sing, while others claim
that cigarette before the curtain rises
puts them in best voice.

Famous Old Appomattox Deserted.

The old town of Appomattox is en-
tirely deserted, with the exception Of
five or six families, of whom only one,
that of a Methodist clergyman, is white.
A syndicate bought up all the property
q few years ago as speculation, and
when the owners got their money and
signed the deeds they moved away, leav-
ing their houses empty. The courthouse
was burned about the same time, and
new one was erected at the railway sta
ton, about three mikes distant, where a
considerable town has sprung up. The
Mclean House, in which the articles of
surrender were written and signed, was
purchased by the syndicate and was
taken down, brick by brick, for removal
to the Worlds fair, but for some reason
the plan was not carried out, and the
bricks and timbers are still stored in
the vacant houses in the neighborhood.

A Simple Instrument by Which a Fly Can
BE Heard to Walk.

Within the telephone is a wonderful
little instrument called microphone
BY its means sound can be magnified to
unheard proportions The microphone
is very simple instrument indeed.
Three ordinary round nails and a square
piece Of wood will form very good mi
crophone. Two of the nails are laid
parallel to but not touching each other
The third nail is laid across the first
two, which are connected in circuit
with battery and telephone receiver
The nails Of course are laid on the fiat,
square piece of wood. which acts as
sounding board and transmits to the
nails any vibration which may take
place upon it.
Every sound is reproduced exactly as
it is made. except that it is much mag
nified. When fly performs its toilet,
the rasping of the hind legs against the
wings or the rubbing of the atenu@
may be distinctly heard. The buzzing Of
the insect makes terrific noise.
When, for instance, fly confined in
In a pasteboard box, attempts to walk
around his prison. the vibration caused
by his movements is conveyed through
the sounding board to the nails, which,
in their turn, interfere with the perfect
passage of the electric current as it
travels across the places where they
rest upon each other. A large vibration
produces correspondingly large sound
in the telephone, and so on down to the
smallest degree of minuteness.
The principle of the action of the in
strument depends OH the interruption
of an electric current which passes
through the telephone The apparatus
for this interruption in SO delicately
poised that any sound will cause vi
bration accurately reproduced in the
telephone. The method given ABOVE IL
the very crudest form in which mi
crophone may be made. Those which
are manufactured for commercial or ex-
detrimental use are very exact affairs
delicately adjusted and arranged to
work with screws at the highest point
of efficiency.

How to Prevent a Black Eye.

There is nothing to compare with a
tincture or strong infusion Of capsicum

mucilage or gum arabic and with the
addition of few drops of glycerin.
This should be painted all over the
bruised surface with cancels hair pen
Gil and allowed to dry on, second or
third coating being applied as soon as
the first is dry. If done as soon as the
injury is inflicted, the treatment will
