WHY NOT DO AS THEY DO In
FRANCE.
From tho pittsburE Post.


In regard to the redemption of gov
ernment paper, the rules of the Bank of
France, which does the financial busi-
ness of that government, as the United
States Treasury does that of this coun-
try, are very different from the practice
that prevails with us. In France the
government exercises its discretion in
paying out coin, and does not leave 1t
to the noteholder. Any man who goes
into the Bank of France with big roll
OF paper and asks for its equivalent in
gold is politely told that he can have
but per cent of the amount in the yell
low metal. Yet no distrust is occasion.
ed there and no great howl goes up
from the bankers about the disturbance
of the parity OF the two metals and the
consequent impairment of the public
credit. Why is this, in a country where
there is nearly 500, 900 of legal ten
der silver in circulation, coined at a
ratio of Is l-2 to |, or about Sl5O000, 900
more than there is in the United States
There is not much question that the
cause of it is the systematic war that has
been waged on silver in this
country for the last twenty
years by the dominating financial
influence, whose policy has been to con-
tract the metallic basis of our circulating
medium to the narrow gold standard.
France can pay out silver with safety
and without financial discredit. For
the United Seates to do the same we
have been taught is fiat reputation,
although the law allows the government
the discretion lust as the French laws do.

Nelson 54 and Washburn 62. Nelson's

THE management Of the Ohio peniten-
tiary during the past year has been, if
possible, more deplorable than ever.
And it does not need rhetoric to depict
it, Figures, that do not lie, tell the
story. During the year the revenues Of
the penitentiary have fallen off from n
net surplus of $3l 900 to a deficit Of
nearly $4,000. In other words, year
ago the penitentiary turned into the
treasury $3l 900 more than it cost to run
it. This year it has drawn out nearly
$4,000 more than it turned in.
In the mean time we have had very

tentiary managers, and the most elo-
quent and picturesque governor, east of

A Magnifyfng Show Window.

One Of the most extraordinary de-
vices for attracting custom on record
was that Of q fruiterer in a Midland.
England, town. Instead Of the ordi.
nary plate-glass a large number of
rough and magnifying glasses formed
the window. Seen through one of these
panes an orange looked as large as a
pumpkin and cherries as large as ap-
pies. A great disadvantage attaching
to the novelty was the fact that at the
distance of a few yards from the win.
dow 1t was quite impossible to see into
the shop. Everybody knows that you
must hold a magnifying glass very close
to the eyes to see anything through 1t.
Nevertheless, for some time, at all
events, the enterprising proprietor did

Value Of tho Deer's Right Fore Lci

Value Of the Deer's Right Fore Log.
A deer can handle itself with three
sound legs almost as well as 1t can
with four, provided the disabled n
is not the right fore leg. A deer cal
get over the course with q broken left
fore leg nearly as rapidly as it could
before it was broken, and a broken
hind leg retards its progress but little.
But If q deer's right fore leg is disabled,
that moment the animal Is as good as
in the hunters hands. In running and
taking its great leaps the deer always
strikes the ground with its right fore
foot first, SO thai if the left fore leg be
broken, it can be so favored by the
right one that the speed OF the deer
may be maintained for many miles,
but the left fore leg cannot I've q

ity befalls 1t the deer Is gone.

LEAP OF THE SALMON.
Wonderful Powers of That Great Fish
in Making High Jumps.

in Making High Jumps.
A few years ago had occasion to say
something about the leaping powers Of
the Atlantic salmon, and what l said
was criticised by a well-known angling
authority, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. l mentioned that it was re-
ported that salmon in Norwegian riv-
ers had jumped up and over an obstruc-
ton sixteen feet high. My friend and
critic contended that salmon could
not jump to exceed six feet.
l then brought forward evi.
dence from a number Of ang-
lers, fishing inspectors, fish commits
sioners, etc., in this country and IN Eu-
rope, to show that salmon had made
leaps ranging from ten to sixteen feet.
and still my critic was not convinced.
Under date Of oct. 23, 1894, Prof. A.
Landmark, inspector of fresh water
fisheries for Norway, writes to me from
Christiania about his experience in
marking salmon and sea trout for the
purpose of observing their m%igrations,
and he has this to say about the leap of
the salmon:
Concerning the height that salmon
car jump under favorable circumstan-
ces there is in one place in Norway I'M
deniable evidence that salmon some
times have made a perfect clear jump
of sixteen feet perpendicular height.
No doubt a jump Of the said height is
quite unusual, but having myself exam
ined the spot where the occurrence had
taken place, and heard the evidence Of
persons who have witnessed it, I can
not doubt the fact"
