Foreigners would not import as
much, however, as our currency
would be deprecated should the
theory of the golbngs be correct.
In that event our people would have
to rely on home market to supply.
their wants. Manufactures and
new enterprises would then follow
the great law of supply and demand
and as far as we are concerned We
are willing to rely on the enterpris-
ing genius of the American people
to meet every arising contingency.
Whichever may be our theories
our judgment should yield to prac-
tice and experience. Facts are
stronger than theories. From 1892
to 1873, space of 81 years, no
discrimination was made at our
minis against either metal. We
had the free coinage of both on
terms of perfect equality. During
that period the American people
became one of the leading nations
of the world. General prosperity
was seen everywhere until that fatal
year of 1873 when silver was de-
monetized. Ever since things are
going from bad to worset Stagna-
ton IN business, want and distress
are seen on every hand.

About CONTAGIOUS Diseases,

Medical experts have long known that
people who habitually live in tho undrain-
ed, filthy parts of towns succumb very
easily to all contagious diseases, and DR..
Alcssi set himself to cndeavor to fathon
the cause. He experimental by exposing
animals to the action of putrefactive gases
such as are the inevitable products Of de-
caying filth, and then inoculating them
with the typhoid bacillus at tho same
time inoculating normal animals. Those
who had brcathed the putrcfactivc gases
were dead at the end Of 80 or As hours Of
unmistakable typhoid, while tho Same
dose of typhoid bacilli had 10 effect upon
most of the control animals. OF these
ono died. but it was notable that while tho
animals were cxperimentally inhaling bad
air they continued to eat well, but lost all
their hvcliness and gradually pined.

Disinfection After Scarlet Fever.

Experiments by Scotch physician In
disinfecting scarlet fever patients SO as to
free them from contagion before the proc
ess OF DISSEMINATION is completed have
resulted successfully, according to an ex-
change. His method was to give success
sion of three or four comfortably warm
baths, sometimes daily, at other times on
alternate days, using freely carbolic acid
soap and washing the patient thoroughly
from top to toe. After each bath except
the last the patient was put back to tho
bed on which he had lain with the disease.
After the last bath he was taken into q
clean room, dressed with clothes free from
infection and then allowed to minglc with
the rest of the family. In most cases tho
body was anointcd daily with olive oil
mixed with some disinfectant. Patients
with such complications rs otitis or ulcer
ated or suppurating throat were not sub
jccted to the process. No complications
followed the cleansing process in any case,
but convalcscence seemed to be rather has
tened than retarded.

don Athletic club has record of 40 3-5
seconds in the quarter mile run and has
lowered tho colors of E. G. Bredin this
year. Ho won the quarter mile at the
Cambridge sports this year, and also at
the Oxford Cambridge games and again
at the amateur championships. Jordan,
who may run in the quarter mile race,
won in tho Oxford Cambridge and Oxford
Yale games last year, but was beaten out
by Fitzherbert this year.
In this event the New York A. C. is

be the clubs best man, but he is not con-
sidered in Fitzherbert's class
In the half mile Charles Kileatrick of
the New Yorks will have f. 5. Koran and
E. J. wilkins to beat. Koran ran second
to Bredin in the English amateur cham
pionships, being beaten n few yards in
1866. He is tho captain of the Cambridge
team that will meet Yale, but is also q
member of the London A. G. The Eng
lishmen have as much chance of winning
the half mile race as we have of landing

UNHEALTHY TO GET ANGRY.
Scientists Say Ugly Feelings Develop Tor
ines and Antagonize the Vital Forces,

Scientists Say Ugly Feelings Develop Tox-
ines and Antasonize the Vital Forces.
That it is unhealthy to indulge In an
ger, malice and other evil passions is tho
latest discovery of sciGntific men, Those
feelings are antagonistfc to the vital forces.
1t is the belief of some eminent physicians
that these feelings develop poisonous tox-
ines and also perhaps injurious microbes
that tend to create disease. Almost every
one has experienced the fact that sudden
grief or violent anger stops digestion. This
is shown by the cessation of appetite for
food until the seyerest stress Of feeling has
passed. 1t is also known that the bite Of
a person who " enraged possesses viru-
lence that the same injury by the teeth
would not cause if tho injury were done
accidentally and without malice. The
British Medical Journal some time ago
sent out inquiries about the danger Of
kissing. The most interesting reply to
these questions came from DR.. A. f.
Bridgcr He does not regard kissing as at
all dangerous, because in the act Of kiss
ing only bene1icent organisms are encoun-
tered, and some of these are microbes USE
full in aiding digestion" This starts
most suggestive train of inquiry. Is 1t
for lack of kissing TINT aged spinsters and
old bachelors grow lean and hollow look
ing? There is an old saying that hunger
is the best sauce, but If kissing be an aid
to digestion that also Is likely to be deem
cd sauce that is far more appetizing and
sure TO be always popular.
