WHO DEMONETIZED THE COW !?

Edward Atkinson of Boston recently
discussed the very interesting question:
at least Mr.. Atkinson made it interesting
Who Demonetized the Cow? He
brought out some facts which he did up
in those little parcels sometimes called
nuts, and naively asked the free silver
ties to crack them. According to Mr.. At
kinson somebody is responsible for the
demonstration of the COW and it is quite
important that we find out who. Then
we should know just who is responsible
for all our financial ills. The COW was
once used as currency, and it is unques-
tionably her decentralization, the dire
effects of which run down through many
centuries, eliminating in 1878. 1t is this
act which has undoubtedly disturbed the
currency of the farmer and not the much
denounced act of some twenty 1.-TWO years
ago. Mr.. Atkinson says: "A COW was
the unit of value in the HON eric age. A
COW was current money throughout Eu-
rope, Asia, Egypt and all Africa. The
OK was the highest unit; the COW was the
common Standard the ass. the goat and
the sheep were the small change"
After disclosing this ancient financial
secret Mr.. Atkinson pertinently asks, Who
Demonetized the Cow?
He is quite decided in his opinion
that what the farmers ought to do is to
60 back Ito the real dollar of our daddies,
to the real money OF the ancient Greeks
and Romans. to the units OF value OF the
men who organized society and art and
industry and commerce.. The good old
Greeks and Romans knew a thing or two
about art, literature and commerce, and
we ought. therefore, to credit them with
knowing what good money was. There
fore MIR. Atkinson aptly asks who demon
etized the good money of the Homeric
period-the COW?
In these enlightened days we ought to
remonetize the good money OF the an
clients, who in their day and generation
were so learned. The thing to do Is to
copy the legal methods of the silver advo-
Gates. All the cows in the country should
be put on Uncle Sam at fixed value.
Then Uncle Sam can issue legal tender
COW certificates and there you have 1.-THE
greatest money on earth; the money of
our learned daddies.

The next important step is that of the
selection of a director-general. If Mr..

in refusing to accept the place third

regard his decision with regret, and to
select some one who will have the

A CITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SLAVE
TRADERS

AS predicted by this paper would be
the case, the board of police commission
efs yesterday granted to Mr.. Theo. Bauer
a saloon license for his corral of prostl-
tutes on Alameda street. The Herald's
prediction was based on a statement made
to representative of this paper some
Jays ago, when this journal commenced
its fight against this outrageously inso-
lent proceeding. The statement was made
by a friend of Mr.. Bauer. and was to
the effect that no amount of influence of
decent, clean people could prevent the
issuance of the license, for the reason, as
it was tersely and forcibly put, the po-
lice commissioners have got to grant
it, That was rather strong language,
and The Herald did not like to believe it,
but the result seems to show that the
friend of the applicant knew just what
be was talking about.
This action of the commission nlaces
every citizen OF this beautiful city in the
position of being party 10 the most
horrible form Of trading that the
world can know. Tho filthy, curse bur
dened money that the city will get from
this license makes us all, to that extent,
partners 10 lne suzanne ana nastlncsS OF
the unspeakable traffic from whence it
comes.
The Herald does not believe for mo-
ment that the self-respecting, decent peo-
pie OF this city will approve of officials
about whom the poast can be made that
they have got to do the wishes of the
lowest of the low, and then who verify
that boast by Immediately o5eying its
purport.

IS THERE A MISSING LINK ?

What is the connecting link between the
chief Of police of Los Angeles and Theo-
dore Bauer, to whom the municipal au-
thorities have, upon the chiefs advice,
turned over the worst features of the So
cial evil for regulation and for government
as Bauer sees fit? The public has a vital
interest in the problem here propounded.
There are and for some time have been
rumors in the air that police protection
is now and for some time has been on tap,
and easy of access to the elect.
These rumors and intimations are per-
haps not true. Some of the very recent
acts of the police issIoners, how
ever. look suspicious, to say the least.
The time is. however. not far distant
when some of ahe many rhmors now
af1oat will have been run to cover.
When the reverend gentlemen OF the
Ministerial union first began their cru
sade against the social evil--in the Eighth
ward-the larger part of the practical
men of the community thought them Wis
ionary. Gradually but surely. however.
all of the thinking people of the city are
being brought around to the opinion that
the views of the ministers ale right, and
that the opinions of the police commits
sioners-and that means, of course, also
the opinion of Mr.. Theodore Bauer, are
all wong.
Take down the fence. Remove the
Bauer dead wall from the position where,
as It stands today, it herds, by and with
the advice and consent OF the city author
tiles. an army of unfortunate creatures
whose surroundings compel them to be
the slaves of une man. Remove the
fence and the Bauer saloon license will
not be worth the paper upon which it is
written.
This is the opening chapter of very
interesting story.

A Literal Portraiture From the Descrip-
- ton In q Popular Novel.
As many readers of fiction have had
cause to complain, authors and artists often
work at cross purposes, and the novelist's
eloquent conception Of the heroine's per-
sonal attributes is but family Swallowed
forth in the artists lines. To show how q
heroine of romantic fiction actually looks
our esteemed contemporary, The Path
finder, handed to a realistic artist chap
ter from popular novel with instructions
to make literal portrait of the heroine.
Here are the eloquent words of the au-
thor from which the faithful portrait was
drawn:
"Belinda was the fairest of earth's
daughters. Her shapely head was nodded
in the form of perfect oval, poised grace
fully on swanlike neck. Her delicate,
she'll like ears looked fragile as the thin.

ETIQUETTE.

Little Thorns Hidden In tho Rose Strewn
Path of tho Newly Engaged Girl.
The time when girl is first engaged
is popularity supposed to be the happiest
period Of her life, yet there arc many
little trials connected with the new re-
lationship and many new responsible
ties involved.
There is the question whether her
f1ance will "get on with her friends
and relatives. Some men are not very
adaptable, and they do not readily get
on in new set. It is possible that An
gelina's friends may not really appreci-
ate Edward, and it is equally likely
that his relatives may not care about
her. Then it is difficult to steer clear Of
complications when she and he go into
society together. If she speaks to any
one else, he is jealous; if she devotes
herself too much to him, she may be
blamed for making herself too conspic-
uous.
Els family may regard her with a
oddly critical eye and find a thousand
faults with her manners. She must
Leave it to them to make the first ad-
vance. There is absolutely nothing to
be done until they have shown that they
are ready to welcome her into the fam
lily. As soon as Edward has informed
his mother of his choice she must write
a letter to the young girl expressing her
pleasure at tho news and (if she does
not know her) her desire to make her
acquaintance. She should also call Oh
the mother Of the f1ancee with as little
delay as possible. Both letter and call
should be responded to at once, as it is
Of the utmost Importance that friendly
relations between the two families
should be maintained.
II the mother Of the bridegroom lives
at some distance from town, she will
probably invite the young girl on a
short visit, in order that they may be-
come better acquainted. Such visit is
often sad ordeal to girl, for Of course
abe will be anxious to make as good an
impression an possible.
It is very incorrect to make any pa
rade about announcing an engagement.
for it might reem as though the young
lady were assuming an air Of triumph.
The mother Of the bride elect is the
proper person to make the announce
ment. She should write to the nearest
relatives and intimate friends, and the
news will spread fast enough. The
amount Of freedom permitted to the
young couple depends chiefly on the
length of the engagement. ..-.
II the engagement is likely to be a
long one, it is better for the young cou-
pie not to make themselves too conspic-
uous, but If the marriage is to take
place within few months it 10 usual to
permit the engaged couple to be as much
in one another's society as they please.
The modern maid is less subject to re-
strictions Of this kind than were her
mother and her aunts.

LOVED BY THE SOUTH
N. b. PLANT HAS, DONE MUCH FOR
THAT SECTIONS DEVELOPMENT.

There is little doubt that the new
south owes as much Of it's present indus
trial development to FL. b. Plant as to
any other one man. Indeed there is no
other one probably who has done 80
much in that direction. Certain it is
that the residents Of the southeast quar-.
ter Of Uncle Sam farm consider them
selves under great obligations to Mr..
Plant, and, this was exemplified only
recently, when the managers Of the At
lanta exhibition designated one day 10
his special honor (Oct. IL, bis seventy
sixth birthday, by the way), distinc-
tion which is rare enough to make it
specially notable.
Mr.. Plant has won the respect and
esteem Of the southern people as bust

capacity he has wrought veritable won
ders and has displayed the nerve and
farsightedness Of great general,

GOOD HEALTH.
The Rest euro Benefits Nervous Invalids
and WORKOUT Workers.

The Rest Cure Benefits Nervous Invnlids
and WORKOUT Workers.
One hears great deal Of the rest cure
among women nowadays. 1t seems to
have become fad with them, and in
some instances proves very beneficial,
while in others it is decidedly injuri-
GUS, hurting the patient not only phys
ically, but morally. This treatment Of
obstinate cases Of nervous exhaustion
and hysteria includes seclusion, rest,
massage, electricity and full feeding.
There are tho rest cure and the modi-
fed rest cure, adapted to two entirely
different states Of nervous exhaustion.
The first is devoted to tho comparatively
small number Of nervous and hyster-
ical persons who are at the same time
healthy looking, but, as rule. ansemic
and are probably able to 90 about their
duties, though they are more or less
feeble, as we'll as to that large class Of
nervous, exhausted; historical people
who lounge around hopeless and help
less and thoroughly incapable Of taking
any part in the duties or pleasures Of
life. The modified rest cure is for busy
women and busy men.
Entering still further into the details
Of the rest cure, the New York Sun says
the usual time taken to effect cure is
from six weeks to three months. The
patient, if belonging to that class Of
nervous, hysterical semi-invalids, is Sc
cluded from home and friends and placed
in the care Of q physician and trained
nurse, who. in such cases should be q
woman Of wonderful tact and insight
into human nature. Say the patient is
a woman. She is put to bed and receives
passive exercise by means Of massage or
electricity and in many cases both.
Sleep is induced by means of wet sheets.
The sheet is wrung out in water at
about 80 degrees and wrapped around
the patient for few seconds. She in
tho meantime stands In tub Of hot
water with her head tied up in a Turk
ish fowl turbanwise to prevent any
shook from the cold sheet. Finally as
the patient gains strength the sheet is
dipped in water a. low as go degrees.
This method ia found most ef1cacious
in sleeplessness When the patient is
absolutely separated from indulgent
friends and sympathetic relatives who
do nothing but ooddle her and can sleep
she begins almost invariably to gain.
Then the matter Of exercise and diet
comes next in Importance. Food is given
in small quantities at very short inter-
walls, and the massage and electrical ex-
ercise are administered according to the
needs Of the patient. After the system
has been built up sufficiently the patient
is allowed to attend to her correspond
ence if it is not heavy, to read little, to
drive, walk or go for a short ride on the
bicycle. 1872.
