All nutrimeuts consist of two leading
elements-carbonate and uitrates. The
former answers to charcoal, which when
burned throws out heat. Oil, butter, lat
meat and sugar belong to the carbonates
or heating foods. In a hundred parts of
oil there are nearly hundred parts of car
bon or warmth. 1t is the same with sug
ar Hence in cold weather our system de
mands more fats and sweets than in sum
mer.
The heterogeneous foods make muscles and
impart strength. Rice, beans, potatoes,
wheat. corn, oats, beef, etc, belong to
this class. Some of these have also a large
proportion Of the carbouaceous elements.
Wheaton grits, crushed wheat and gra-

a strait for want of money, and, above all,
he had the worst possible opinion of the

though his own generation We're chiefly

us at this distance Of time is Shelley's

For him the world is always on the eve

The old Teutonic and Saxon races in
central and northern Europe before the in
PRODUCTION and spread of Christianity had
a great veneration for trees. They would
never willingly damage them. Under large
trees, especially old oaks, the great coun-
ellis were held and judgment given, and
the graves of this people We're found in
groves, they always being buried under
the roots of tree. This all was result
of the superstition that their gods lived in
those trees. In the linden tree Berchta
dwelt-a benign spirit who took charge
of the babies and rocked their cradles when
the nurses fell asleep; in the oak Donar,
the thunder god; in the willows all sorts
of spirits, in the elder trees the dwarfs.
Whenever the festivals of these gods We're
celebrated, their trees were decorated with
lights, wreaths and questen (tassels), and
offerings were hung in the branches which,
however, were plundered again when the
fes .ival was over, the gods being supposed
on.y to appropriate the best.-Sunday

Mr.. Justice Field said: The trainers
of the constitution were considering
the subject of money to be used
throughout the entire Union when
these provisions were inserted, and it
is plain that they intended by them
that metallic coins fabricated, by the
national government, should every
where be the standard and only stan
dard OF value by which exchanges
could be regulated and payment made.
At that time gold and silver constitut-
ed the money of the entire civilized
world. Indeed these metals, always
have constituted money for all people
having any civilization, from the
earliest periods in the history of the
world. even to the present time. 1t was

pelah, nearly four thousand years
ago. Gen. 90, 16. This adoption OF
the precious metals as the subject of
coinage-the material of money by all
peoples, in all ages of the world-has
not been the result of any yagaries OF
fancy, but is attributable to the fact,
that they of all metals, alone possess
the properties which are essential to O
circulating medium OF uniform value.
History cannot name q ma who has
gained enduring honor by causing the
issue Of paper money. Wherever such
paper has been employed, it has, in
every case, thrown upon it's authors
the burden of exculpation under the
plea OF pressing necessity. (Bancroft's

Populism has been indicting itself
by its own d~eliverances since 1890,
1t is indicting itself wherever it has
acquired power. It has shown itself
no more capable of safe and orderly
government than the Frenchman who.
a hundred years ago in Paris, brought
upon France the government of ca
price under Robespierre, Danton and
Marat. 1t has revealed a desolatinR
ignorance OF true financial principles
far beneath the conceptions OF John
Law on the same subject and more
grotesque than the financial folly OF
the champions OF the assignats which
were poured out in overwhelming
floods in France in 1850. More Ok.
treme are these financial reformers
than the Argentine financiers, who,
in 1886. organized a big national
mortgage bank to make loans on the
hypothecation of real estate. They
declared that this money mill would
be "a great boon to the people," just
as the populists declare that to iuun.

reached 300 per cent, and Argentina

has shown up the party in its proper
colors. The Waite regime has ex-
cluded capital from investment in
Colorado. 1t has promoted lawless-
ness and all manner of outrages

Kansas populist rule has concat-

but has distinctly refused to put down

people of the state should rise up in
their might on November 6 and crush
it beyond recognition. The pretea-

Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter-0cean.
1t is but a few years ago, as years
count in the history OF trade, since
every pound OF sugar used in Europe
came from Asia or from America. The
idea Of growing beets and of making
merchantable sugar from them was
secuted az ridiculous. When wise
rulers-the great Napoleon being first
to adopt the plan-ofered bounties
for sugar thus produced the theorists
ridiculed it as contrary to economic
law, and not a few politicians de-
nouneed it as class legislation. But
the bounties have proven profitable
investments. Continental Europe to.
day not only supplies herself with
sugar but exports many billions of
pounds. The imports of sugar
from Europe to this country alone
we're near to four billion pounds
in the year 1893. Great Brit.
ain imported a still greater quantity.
Never was money more wisely spent
than in fostering the sugar business of
continental Europe.
It should go without saying that a
like policy would have like result in
this country. The bounty system of
the Mckinley law doubled the cane
sugar product ofLouisiana in the two
years of it's operation. 1t also gave
the beet-sugar industry a great i'm
petus. The withdrawal of the boun-
ties is sure to lessen the Louisiana
output and to check the growth of
beet-sugar production in Iowa, Cali
fornia and Nebraska.
There is more at stake in the far
West, especially in the semi arid re-
gions of Nebraska and Kansas, than
the mere increase OF the sugar output,
though that is q most desirable con-
summation. There is the question of
development or abandonment of larse
tracts OF land. Mr.. Arthur Hansl, the
Nebraska Commissioner OF Immigra-
ton, resident IN Chicago. who is ma
tive of one of the European beet-sugar
countries, recently read an able paper

The beet fourishes on soils too parch-
ed for grain. Its roots run deep in
search OF subterranean moisture. Ir-
rigation or root crops are necessities
TO the half-arid regions of this coun-
try. Beet crops are easily cultivated
and cheaply produced. But there
