What Dollar Bills Weigh.
he New York Herald. !

from the New York Herald
Several customers were chatting in
.. Lafayette avenue grocery store,
Oh. evening recently, when the grocer
pointed to a half-ba-rel of small
beans, and asked how many of them
it would require to make "A bushel
Various estimates were offered. One
man recklessly put the number down
at so, 900, which occasioned a laugh
from all the others, who had guessed
a much less quantity, ranging all
the way from S 700 to 10000.
well, gentlemen" remarked the
grocer, "you are all wrong. There
are approximately 10000 beans in
a buShel."
No one was inclined to believe him
until he showed them that it took
sixty beans, selected at random, to
weigh half an ounce. The rest of the
calculation was simple.
=="Now, then" said one of the party,
''since we are engaged in guessing
contests, how many dollar bills
would it take to weigh as much as
silver dollar?o
One said 100, another said rs
while the grocer, who knew all about
beans, put the figures at 800.
"All wong" remarked the man.
cit takes just 90" This was proved
to be the case by experiment.

Our National Habit of w histling.

From the Boston Transcript.
The right of a person to whistle, to
the paralysis of other persons
nerves, is becoming almost as burn
ing a question as the right of persons
to smoke, to the mental and bodily
detriment OF others. We Americans
are probahly-next to our own col
ored people in the southern towns,
whom we have educated in the art
the whistlingest people in the world.
There are, apparently, two reasons
for this. One is, that we are the most
nervous of people; we have got to be
doing something; we can't go down
stolidly at our work like Europeans,
or sit silent and contemplative; SO
we work off our tigets with whistling
The other reason is, that we are
really Il cheerful ard expressive PEG
pie, ia spite of all that has ever been
said to the contrary. The national
whistling habit has resulted in the
production of a great number of
really skiilful and musical whis-
tiers. With one considers ton and
another, there is ii treiuendOus
amount of whistling it seems Cheer
ful, and sometimes: to the whistler,
it is really cheerful. Now, undoubt-
eddy, this would be very nice If every
ones whistliDg were heard only by
himself. 1t would be blessed way
to work off ones nervousness. Bat
the other fellow has nervousness too.
What about that? An ordinary
whistler's = .i,'rtnance gives abso-
lutely no pleasure to any one but
himself.

GooD.TIMEs COMING.
Some of the Many Good Things the
Fusionists Have Promised.

Some of the Many Good Things the
Fusionists Have Promised.
From the Morganton Herald
If the apostles of fusion ere not
arrant frauds and cheats there are
good times acomiDg.
They have taught on the stump
and through the press and in secret
midnight conclave that the Demo
cratic party is responsible for all the
ills that human flesh is heir to.
Now that Democracy has been de-
feated they must make times better
or acknowledge that they are "a lot
of buneo steerers, unworthy of be-
lief and bent on treason, stra tagems
and spoils.
They have told the people that the
Democrats have made the price of
wheat SO low. Let them now see to
it that wheat doubles in value, and
,, that cotton goes booming back to
twenty cents IL pound,-or let them
! make the damDing admission that
/ legislation is powerless TO effect the
price of agricultural products.
They have charged the Democrats
with cutting down the price of labor
and grinding the face OF the poor
Let them now see to it that wages
are promptly raised, that there is
plenty of work for those that want
30 work and that those who won't
work are provided with an office or
pensioned off at the public expense.
They have complained that the
Democrats have made money scarce,
and they made the money question
one of the most prominent issues in
the campaign. Now let them flood
the country with silver and green
backs-let them start up the mints,
and put the printing presses in
motion, and distribute to every man,
woman and child the fifty dollars
they have. promised; or let them
admit that they have been guilty of
obtaining goods under false pre-
teuses.
Ofcourse, the good times are COM
ing.
There will he q demand for an I'M
limited quantity of cordwood at two
dollars a cord, corn will bring two
dollars the year round-money will
grow on white oak trees and laborers
will only have to name their price To
get it,
Les, SOOu times are coming.
The Fusionists will give the coun-
try:
Free silver.
A gold standard
High tariff.
Low tariff.
Free trade.
Free sugar.
A sugar bounty.
Lower goods for the people.
Greater profit to the manufacturer.
Higher wages.
And if they don't give all of these
things right away, their names will
be mud.
For to the Fusionists everything
must be done today, or the party
that don't do it will be an anathema
maranalha.
The good times are coming
If they don't arrive on r :hedule
time, Mary Ann will be at the bot
tom of it.
For the indications are that Mary
ADn-she is the State.

tue celebration of the sixth anniver-
sary of tue Winston-S Young
Mems Christian Association at the
Home Church in Salem Sunday. night,
over which Bishop Rondthaler presid-
ed with his accustomed ease and
grace.
A very attractive and enjoyable
feature of the occasion was the fine
music, for which our Morayian friends
are noted. In addition to the regular
hymns, two fine anthems were render
ed by the choir, with orchestra &C
compartment, under the direction of
Mr.. w. j. Peterson.
A very earnest Invocation was offer
ed by Rev. H. A. Brown and two APP
propriate selections from the scrip

A strong address upon the subject,
"Thc Young Man-Is He Safe" was
delivered by Mr.. L. A. Coulter, State
Secretary, who demonstrated the i'm
portance of looking after the various
interests of our young men, as is I'M

church.
Testimonials as to the success of the
work and its Importance were offered
in brief addresses by Revs. II. A.
Brown, j. Ii. Clewell and Edw. Rond-
thaler, in the order nPmed.
Mr.. Brown emphasized the fact
that he had experienced among his
own members the effectiveness of the
Association in developing christian
workers.
Mr.. Clewell laid stress upon the
comparatively small amount of money
required TO accomplish the great re-
suits wrought by the Association.
Bishop Rondthaler said he was will
ing to double or treble his subscrip-
tion if necessary in order that the
good work might continue.
The ministers were followed by a
brief, but earnest and effective adj
dress by Mr.. G. r. Towson, General
Secretary Of the Roanoke Association,
along the line of what the Y. NJ. c. A.
has done and what it may do.
Under the direction of State Secre
tary Coulter a collection was taken

pledges, supplementary to the person
