"Still Harping on My Daughter.

in the presence of the shipments of
gold to Europe taken from that
tsacred reserve" say:
cit is a reason that will continue
to send gold abroad, unless wages
are reduced in this country to the
European level so as to lessen i'm
ports or the tariff is raised. What
nonsense to talk about capturing
foreign markets when we cannot
hold our own but have to sell bonds
in Europe and send gold there to
pay for the increasing flood of
imports #"
How is raising the tariff in order
to check or stop altogether imports,
to put money in the Treasury The
same papers which make use of the
above plea say the prime cause of
the gold shipments is the lack of
revenue to meet the public expen-
ditures. The whole trouble results
from the lack of money in circula-
ton or in the country to conduct
business. The Treasury, like. the
people, is bankrupted by the gold
bug financial system.
"Wages must be reduced in this
country to the European level"
says the paper above quoted. In
plain Saxon prices and wages in
this country both must fall still
lower till they come down to the
European level. The international
gold system Of finance must inev-
itably place the United States and
Europe on level of wages and a
level of prices. The goldring has
got every country in Europe and
the United States in debt to it and
have deliberately set about making
money scarce so as to make it for
ever impossible for the world to sell
the products of labor at prices that
will permit the payment of this
immense fictitious debt, which like
restless tax gatherer takes all
save bare living from the people
whose work creates all wealth. No
tariff, high or low, will ever help
the case. Nothing but reducing
the purchasing power of money toa
normal condition, condition that
answers to olive ond let live." A
high tariff will prevent goods from
coming into the country or the
price of similar home made goods
will have to be raised, and people
the consumers-must pay that
advanced price. They haven't the
money to pay with and can't get it
while the price of their raw pro-
ducts remains as low as it is. The
price of all farm products is made
in Europe where the surplus is sold.
If prices remain low there, that for
their products cannot rise; they con-
sequently cannot buy foreign goods
at high prices and live, and unless
this is possible, high tariff can
not fill the Treasury, and gold, to
pay balances and interest, will go
to Europe in "spite of fate" The
republican doctrine will not work
any better than the democrats is
working. Nothing but more money
in circulation will help present de-
plorable conditions. The republi-
can financial policy and the demo
GRAFT financial policy are precisely
the same, and that policy is prov
ing-has proved-an utter failure.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Plea for TeakettleS.

L nave always nau q warm re-
gard for a teakettle. Not that l am
especially fond of tea, but because
around the teakettle cluster all the
dear associations of childhood,
youth, and home. People may
sentimentalize as they like about
the beauties of the word "hearth-
stone" hearths have not been
made of stone for long time, and
in these days plenty of homes are
made without any real hearth at
all. But what is hearthstone
without a teakettle? There may
be, and are, homes without a tea
kettle. / never saw but one case
of such restitution among suppos-
eddy civilized beings, and L made
haste to supply the crying want at
the very next Christmas time.
No family can be reared properly
without a teakettle. If | never
had occasion to use a drop of hot
water I would still have a teakettle,
because of its homelike physiog-
nomy and its cOnsOling song, and
because it expresses all manner of
domestic comfort, coziness, cheer,
fulness, and peace for the same
reason that I would have the
"Farmers' Almanac hanging
under the end of the mantlepiece in
the kitchen, and a smooth, plump,
well fed, and self-satisfed cat lying
in the sunshine ON the board win
dow sill. True, the cat digs up the
window plants, scratches the sofa
into rags whenever he gets into the
setting room, comes out of his
warm nest in the shed and bowls
at the backdoor in the night, and is
fully determined to sleep anywhere
else but on the window sill but
when he does happen to be bribed
or coaXed into lying there five min,
utes, | am ready to forgive him
everything for the sake of the
peaceful, prosperous, comfortable
air which he gives to my humble
establishment. But even he could
not make it seem like home with
out the presence of teakettle.
An empty teakettle, or a cold
one, should never be allowed in any
well-regulated family. Nothing is
mole vexatious than when, in some
sharp need of hot water, one sees
the teakettle and finds it cold or
empty. 1t is like seeking a human
soul for help and sympathy, and
finding it entitled to the same
adjectives.
But no matter weather a teaKettle
be made of iron, tin, or copper, the
only really bad teakettle is the cold
and empty one; so if the house
keeper would avoid inconvenience,
fretfulness, delay, impotence, and
all uncharitableness, let her see to
it that her teakettle, whether black
as Erebus, or secured until she can
see her face in 1t, is always full and
always hOt.-Demorest's Magazine.

Two Pounds of Honey a Year.

A French naturalist with a mathemat-
iCal turn Of mind has been calculating the
work done by hive of bees. When the
weather is favorable, worker" accord
ing to his estimate, makes usually six to
ten trips, visiting 40 to so flowers and col
lccting about one grain of nectar. Even
when, under extraordinarily good cOndi-
lions, he visits 200 or 400 flowers the
amount collected would not exceed five or
six grains, and the collection of a pound
would occupy several years. A hive con
tains 20, 600 to So 600 bees, of which only
half are occupied in preparing honey, the
rest caring for the young and their quar-
ters In good day 16, 600 to 20, 600 bees
can, in six to ten trips, visit 800, 600 to
l, 900, 600 flowers For this it would be
necessary that the locality should be favor
able for honey making, and that the nee
tar secreting plants should grow near the
hive. A hive of 80, 900 bees can then, un-
der good conditions, make about two
pounds of honey year.

B. and o. 8. W. withdraws.

ST. LOUIS, March 23.-The Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern will
withdraw today according to its
own notice, from what is known as
the presidents agreement.
The "presidents' agreement" was
formed in December last by execu-
tive officers of the trunk lines and
lines leading eastwardly from st.
Louis, Peoria and Chicago. 1t pro-
vided that on and after January
|, 1895, passenger fares should be
maintained strictly, and that they
should not be reduced by the pay
ment OF sidecuts, drawbacks or
commissions. 1t has frequently
been charged that the lines were
not observing this agreement, but
there has here tOfore been no open
break. Developments in the mat
ter are apt to be interesting.

are beginning to catch a glimpse
Of the truth, that their interest and
welfare have been sacrificed to the
greed Of the money power.
Has not the prediction OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, that the "money
power Of the country" would bring
it about, that "all wealth would,
be aggregated in Il few hands" been
literally fulfilled? There is no
room to doubt the fact.
Shall it end, as Lincoln predicted
it would, and "the republic be de-
strOyed" The people must decide
that matter at the ballot box.
We must return to first prinCi-
ciples, and legislate for all the poo-
pie, and not solely for the money
power. No country can enjoy sub.
stantial prosperity, where the ag-
ricultural class is crushed to the
earth. We must legislate for all the
people.

ton Is 81, COO for a homestead and $3.50 for
household furniture, and the tools Of trade
required by any mechanic in the pursuit
OF his business are also EXEMPTED. In
pennsylvania the exemption is 5000, an
plying to real estate and personal property

$1,000 Of real estate and on personal prop
erty $500 for married and 500 for an
unmarried person. In Alabama the real

In Maryland there is no real estate ex.

Generally speaking, the insolvent laws
OF the United States are liberal and leni-
ent to debtors in the west, liberal as to
land, but strict as to personal property in
the south and strict as TO both in the east

ancos are in part explained by the fact
that under the homestead law, adopted
to promote the settlement of western and
southwestern states, certain amount of
land was exempted by law from attach.

How the Clever Japanese Make Some of
Their MarveIs For the Market.

At Jamrach 5, in London, the other day,
some one asked the great animal catcher

1--WE used to keep them" he answered,
"when they fetched "a apiece, but now we
can't get more than 81 for them. Frank
auckland burst up the trade when he ex-
posed the method Of their manufacture by
the japanese from fish and a monkey
skin cleverly united, so we no longer make
them a leading article he smilingly
added.
The Japanese are remarkably ingen-
ious. Not only that, but they possess in
finite patience. The telescope fish is a
case in point. 1t is fish of immense
length, with a double fanlike tail, and
produced by breeding on the principle Of
artificial selection. However, they are
quite common in Germany now"
And do you know how they get white
Java sparrOws?"
They select pair of grayish birds and
keep them in a white cage in white
room, and they are attended by person
dressed in white The mental effect on
series of generations of birds results in
completely white birds. They breed the
domestic cock with enormously long tails
after the same principle. They first select
a bird with a good tail, giving him very
high porch to stand on; then, with
weights, they drag the tail downward,
carrying on the same system with the
finest specimens Of his descendants till a
tail almost as long as a peacock's is pro-
duccd at last And how marvellous they
are in the fertilization of plants! Did you

of heavy rains for several days past all
the streams are very high and still rising

the Kinchefoonee creek, were washed
away to-day. Four men, who were on the
bridge at the time were precipitated into
the stream w. r. Redding section boss
had his hand badly mashed and hip bruised
and Bill Bird, negro track hand had his
foot so badly mashed that amputation
1t is thought, will be necessary. A loco
motive had been stationed on the bridge
to weight 1t down and had just been re-
moved when a lot of debris came floating
down, knocking out the vents and leaving
the track suspended. The four men who
fell with the bridge all managed to reach

The State TO Expend $4,000 on an
Agricultural Exhibit.

Atlanta. Ca, March 1.-THE state ex-
position board to-day authorized the ex-
pendlture Of 5000 of the states appropria-
ton for an agricultural exhibit, and the
work of getting it up will be commenced
at once. The plan adopted for securing
the agricultural exhibit is to offer
premiums for the finest specimens Of all
the products of the state. These specimens
will be artistically put together in the
building and thus a magnificent display
of the resources of every quarter Of the
state will be secured. No premiums are
to be offered for county exhibits at all,
but county lines are to be entirely elimi-
mated in the organization of the display
as a whole.
Plans for the educational feature were
also adopted to-day and $4,000 set aside
for that department. Besides the COM
mon school system there are to be prac-
teal exhibits from the Girls Normal and
Industrial College at Milledgeville the
State School of Technology and the Col
Ored Industrial school at Savannah. The
practical working of these institutions will
be shown by the students themselves at
work in the exhibits.

proceedings instituted by w. p. Ward

Wards two little sons were told at the
public schools that they must be vac
cinated or they could not be admitted as
scholars. Their father did not care he
said, to inflict such a painful opera-
ton upon them when there was no state
law for such action. The rule for vac
cination is one of long standing. and
has been adopted by the state board of

would settle the right of the health and
school boards as to the requirement

with the United States which they argued
would benefit the United States at the loss
Of the business interests of the South

has been especially strong in these larger

that the interest with established IA
cilities must take the cream Of all new
business created by this undertaking of

posing TO interfere with the great bust

people now come in with a spirit Of lib
eral rivalry TO aid in the work Of develop

it."
The Argentine Republic has already APP
