uNFoUNoEo PREJUDICE.
Peculiar Views Held by Many That Banks
 Favor Dull Times.


 Favor Dull Times
 One of the most surprising features of the present cheap money agitation is the evidence of widespread prejudice against banks. According to the silver ltes and fiat money advocates, it would seem that bank is diabolical institu- ton which preys on the farmer and workingman, while the banker is an enemy and oppressor of the people. These peculiar views are held seriously by many persons, who oppose sound currency principles merely because the bankers are ill favor of them.
 It is hardly necessary in these en- frightened days to show that banks are beneficent institutions, of as much use in our present system of industry and commerce as factories and stores. Their chief function is to serve as reservoirs for all the spare capital of the country, which they receive only to loan out again wherever it can be used to best advantage. The idea of the Populists that banks draw interest from the people on idle meney locked up in bank vaults
 
 employed it can earn no interest.
 The chief benefit conferred by banks is their insurance of credits, through which much larger volume of business of all kinds is transacted than if men had to trade on cash basis. In this way banks serve the same useful pur- pose as fire or life insurance companies. The Populist pretense that bankers want money scarce so that business will be depressed is wholly untrue. In dull times bankers suffer like merchants and manufacturers. They cannot loan their funds, while they are nearly always bound to pay interest on the deposits loaned to them. Every sensible banker is anxious for the greatest possible pros perity. The banker of whom the cheap i money advocates dream and write is al- together creature of their imagination.

Wages In Japan.

We publish today letter from Rev. Will P Turner, Methodist missionary who was sent from Georgia to Japan several years ago.
 MT. Turner keeps in touch with af- fairs in his native land and sees the ef fort that is being made to "Japan" our currency. His letter shows what we can expect should that calamity befall us.
 A labor leader i'll Texas few days ago advised the workingmen to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver The rate of wages in the foremost free silver nation of the world will hardly commend this advice to sensible and in- telligent wage earners ill this country.
 MT. Turner, whose facilities for in- whose reliability is beyond question. tells us some interesting things about wages in Japan. It must be remem- bered that his figures are in Japanese money, which is equivalent to only 50 cents on the dollar i'll our currency.
 Here are some of his figures:
 Teachers in government schools, $12 to $50 per month.
 Postof1ice and custom house clerks and similar government positions, $s to $50 per month.
 Teachers in high schools, $l5 to $75 per month.
 Brick masons, 50 to 60 cents day.
 Carpenters, 45 to 55 cents day.
 Female operatives in cotton factories, cents a day.
 Male operatives, 16 cents day.
 MT. Turner tells of an expert Japa- nese workman who with the aid of his wife made cents day!
 The workingmen of this country are being informed about what a silver ba- sis means ill regard to wages.
 There is not q nation on the face of the earth which has the free coinage of silver where the average of wages IS one-fourth as high as it is i'll this coun- try.-Atlanta Journal.

HOW HIS PULL WORKED.
An Incident of the Labors of Municipal
 Reformer.

Reform is not dissolution from at tempts to work the political pull. Com missioner Roosevelt of New York has found this out Not long ago half a dozen friends of his called on him. Among the number were three Wall street men, a we'll known lawyer and a down town business man. The lawyer, who acted as spokesman, opened up.
 Hook here, Roosevelt, he said, "as man to man we want to know if you 'rs going to keep on pulling the poolrooms, even if they are respectable"
 Certainly, if you'll tell me where there are any" said the commissioner.
 "That isn't what we came here for, was the reply Now, Roosevelt. you play the horses now and then. eh?'
 The lawyer winked. Mir. Roosevelt winked. There is nothing more noncom- initial than wink.
 Well, continued the lawyer, "you understand. It'sa quiet little place, you know. No disorder or anything of that kind If a man wants to place quiet little bet, you know, on Saturday after noon when he can't get to the beach, there's no harm, eh?' The lawyer winked again. MT. Roosevelt winked again. The lawyer said he supposed it would be all right. MT. Roosevelt pro- duced notebook and wrote something in it.
 1T think I know that place, J he said genially. Let's see, tomorrow's Satur- day, ain't it? I'll pull it tomorrow. Hope none of you fellows'll be there Delighted to have seen you. Drop in any time."
 MT. Roosevelt grinned. There wasn't t an answering grin on the faces of any of his friends. The spokesman reflected audibly on his future fate. Then hs turned and led the way ont.-New York Sun.

A Valuable Find.

The report of the director of the geo. logical survey for the months of Juns and July shows that in addition to the purely technical work of that bureau an extended report is being prepared on the phosphate industry of Florida. Dur ing this period the survey has tested samples of fire clay and other refractory materials discovered in Colorado sip- posed to be valuable for lining furnaces This new clay has been found to be suitable for this purpose and will prove a valuable find to the miners of Cobra do, who have been compelled heretofore to import it. t.-Philadelphia Ledger.

And We Are Mad Players.

The cult of degeneracy is acting as a boomerang. Dr. Spitzka, an eminent alienist, says that Nordau writes with violet ink and in acramped hand, using a fine pen and crowding his lines for the purpose of emphasizing his concen- tration of thought These affectations belong to the same order with those characterized in Degeneration" as pe- culiar to the victims of egomania. Dr. Spitzka declares that Nordau is generally regarded by alienists as of unsound mind. And if the alienists begin to challenge each others sanity, who shall decide for the rest of us? Verify, it's 8 mad world. St. Paul Pioneer Press

A YELLOW FEVER CURE.
Nuclein Expected to Prove a Wonderful
 Remedy.

 Remedy.
 The newly discovered medicinal agent nuclein, known as natures rem edy, which is the property ill the hu- man being which cures and repels dis ease without any artificial aid, is about to be tried in an entirely new field, and scientists and medical men will watch the result with the deepest interest.
 Dr. J. Mount Bleyer of New York. who'was the first physician ill the world to demonstrate the value of nuclein and give an account of it's clinical operation i'll large number of cases, has perfect ed a process of obtaining this remedy in the purest state from the eggs of fish. and with the nuclein so obtained marvel ous results have followed in the treat ment of disease.
 Dr. Bleyer and others who have treated disease under his direction with the fish egg nuelein have cured several hundred cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, consumption and cancer. and in all instances where in chronis cases there have not been speedy cures there has been marked improvement.
 In making some recent experiments with nuclein, Dr. Bleyer became con vinced it would operate as specific in the cure of yellow fever, and his work in that direction attracted the notice of the directors of the Laboratorio Histo- Bacteriologico of Chronica Medico-Qui rArgica of Havana. They were so inn pressed with the possible value of this natural remedy that Dr. A. H. Mascort, the most eminent of Cuban scientists, was deputized to come to this country, make study of the subject and inci- dentally to gather information concern ing the practical work of the board of health in New York and it's methods of maintaining perpetual quarantine against infectious diseases.

TO RENEW ITS GLORY
6REEcE,s PRouDEsT TEMPLE TO BE
 RESTORED.
Dishgured by Wars and vandals--Ersctsd to the Worship of woman--Cost More Than Any Temple Except soiomon's.

The news that the Parthenon at Athens is to be restored awakens deep interest, for there are no other ruins on the face of the earth that inspire such mingled feelings of admiration and re- gret for the course of history.
 The Parthenon was the best fruit of mans highest intellectual achievement. Its ruins today are tribute to his im- becility and stupidity. It was the finest edifice on the finest site in the world and hallowed by the noblest recollec- tions that can stimulate the human heart The Greeks gave us no other heritage of themselves that we could more wish had been handed down to us without rust of time or the blemish and disfgurement of the barbarian.
 The complete restoration of the Parthenon is an absolute impossibility. It is impossible from the fact that there is no detailed historical account of this temple. Pausanias, who saw the temple in it's original beauty and glory, never thought 1t worth while to describe it in detail. He wrote as if he expected that the temple would be preserved eternal and unchanged. From that time on the Roman, the Goth, the Venetian, the Turk, the Greek himself, the English man and in fact everybody else has put his yandal hands upon this most glori- eus creation of man.
 While its complete restoration is not drooytnod nf thu T,ro nf fbn ruins, which means the practical res- toration of the structure, is what the Greek Archaeological society has un- dertaken with great enthusiasm. The society has raised $200,00 and hopes to raise as much more, which is believed will be ample to preserve the ruins from disintegration. The work on the ruins is soon to be commenced.
 At the time the Parthenon was built all Athens worshiped woman. It was a strange idea for the Greeks to wor- ship virgin, for neither yirginity nor womanhood was highly prized among the Greeks. There is much better reason for Parthenon or temple to Athena or Minerva in New York than in 11uuOod Ut tuUb blAiOt lOl OuA AOW WIlA- an" is very much more of an Athena than the maid or matron of Athens ever was.
 But this glorious temple was dedicat- ed to a woman who was born from the brain of man. In the days of Themis- tocles, the temple on the summit of tho Acropolis, dedicated to the virgin god- dess Athena, was destroyed by Xerxes. After the Greeks defeated the Persians on the plain of Marathon, Perieles. the ablest statesman, about 45O B. C., or dered Phidias, the greatest sculptor, and Ictinus, the greatest architect, to build new temple on the site of the old one. This is the Parthenon, built from the marble quarries of Mount Pen telicus, which overlooks Athens and whose marble is as white as snow.
 The building of the Parthenon must have occupied more than 25 years. It was not the largest of Greek temples, but it must have cost more than any ancient edifice outside of Solomon s temple. New York World.
