sion that while there Is very strong and
respectable sentiment throughout the
state in opposition 10 this currency
theory, yet the opponents Of 16 to l are
without organization, apparently with
out any ambition to succeed and are
siDgularly silent, while the silver men
are vigorous, active and aggressive.
at seems to me utterly impossible that
the opponents Of 16 TO ] silver, should
they take part in the June convention,
could make any serious impression. The
convention will unqusstlOnably declare
in favor Of l6 to l, without conference
with any nation.
ave who oppose the view, although
there are some differences Of opinion
among us, will az rule take no part in
the convention, although in some Coun-
ties delegations will DO sent composed Of
leading men to represent both views
wholly irrespective Of the sentiment In
the particular locality.

organize the democratic party in this
state, il such a thing is possible. The
ultimate effect, should the currency
question be the prominent one Of 1896,
will be the reorganization Of both par
ties on new lines.
"Thoss who, like myself, may be called

be able to secure this. Unless the re.

me TO take part In the convention shall
lead the party elsewhere to believe that
democratic sentiment lie not thoroughly
represented by the convention, this dec
lsrstion will have q very strong and
powerful influence upon the parties in
the Western and Southern states, but
will not, l think, affect anything east Of

1t Weighed Too Much for the stoutest

One of the interesting features Of the
late czar's funeral was, as usual, the
two men clad in medieval armor, one
on horseback and the other on foot
The mounted knight had his visor
open and his armor was of FURNISHED
gold, which glittercd in the sun. He
symbolized life.
The other was on foot; his armor was
coal-back steel; his visor was closed,
and in his hand he bore drawn two
handed sword, the blade OF which was
shrouded in Grape. He symbolized
death.
The weight of those two suits OF
armor is so great that, notwithstanding
the most gigantic men of the imperial
guard being selected to don them, the
one on foot who otficiated at the oh.
sequies of Emperor Nicholas l. fell
dead from exhaustion on reaching the
church of IS. Peter and Paul, where
the imperial mausoleum is situated
while at the funeral of Alexander II.

An interesting anecdote is told of the
late Capt. Theodore Julius, whose death
occurred recently. Some time ago, says
the Philadelphia Record, Capt. Julius
went over to shipyard in Camden to
take look at the old packet ship Tona-
wanda, which was being converted into
coal barge. The captain took par
ticular interest in the old ship because
of his having served as mate aboard her
in the early '6Os While he stood watch
ing the old vessel total stranger ap'
preached him and asked: Isn't your
name JuliusP" The captain replied in
the affirmative. "You were a mate
on that ship in the summer Of 1882
"Yes," said the captain. "You don't
remember me-" continued the stranger,
"but I remember you very well. Twas
steerage passenger on the Tonawanda
at that time, being on my way to this
country. I've been pretty prosperous
and I've just bought the old ship and
am going to make coal barge of her.
Strange, isn't it, that should come to
own the ship that brought me practi'
cally penniless to this countryP" The
captain agreed with him that It was
very strange.

IN OLD SCOTLAND.

how The People Got About One Hundred
and Fifty Years Ago.
The produce was carried in sacks on
horseback or on sledges, or Qater in
the century, on tumbrils, which were
sledges on 'tumbling" wheels of solid
wood, with wooden axle trees, all re-
volving together. These machines,
small that in a narrow passage the
carter could lift them bodily, for they
held little moro than wheelbarrow.
They had wheels foot and half in
diameter, made of three pieces OF
wood pinned together like butter
firlfin, and which quickly wore out,
and became utterly shapeless, so that
a load of six hundred pounds was enor'
nous for the dwarfsh animals to drag.
Yc. even such vehicles were triumphs
of civilization when they came into use,
when the century was young.
Carts are later invention still, and
when one, in 1913, first carried its tiny
load of Goals from East Kilbride to
Cambuslang, crowds Of people," it Is
reported, went to see the wonderful
machine; they looked with surprise,
and returned with establishment" In
many parts Of the lowlands they were
not in ordinary use, even till 1760,
while in the northern districts sledges,
or creels on the backs of women, were
chiefly employed to the end Of the CEN
tury. The wretched condition Of the
roads was the chief cause of the reluo-
tant adoption Of carts,
In the driest weather the roads were
unfit for carriages, and in wet weather
almost impossible, even for horses
deep in ruts of mire, covered with
stones, winding up heights and down
hills to avoid swamps and bogs. 1t
was this .precarious state of the roads
which obliged judges to ride on circuit,
and a practice began as q physical me-
.cessity was retained as a dignifled
habit, so that in 1744 Lord Dun re.
signed his judgeship because he was no
longer able to ride on circuit"

NOCTURNAL FISHING.

Trout Caught When 1t Is Too Dark to
See.
In the clear streams of western New
York Including the celebrated Spring
creek of Caledonia) in which have
fshed for several years, 1t is the custom
to do a great deal of night-fshing in
July and August, as at that season the
large fish seem to be moving and feed
ing only at night, writes an angler in
Forest and Stream, Many anglers
there do not start for the stream till
after dark during the hot weather, and
though smaller trout will rise at dark
as before, the largest ones are almost
invariably taken much later, partic.
ularly on warm nights.
OF course the leaders and flies used
at night are much larger than those
used in the daytime, and long cast is
not necessary. 1t is the custom to let
the fly sink, and bit Of worm on the
fly is a great help, though, of course,
one does not dwell on that feature
when telling about his catch the next
day. The flies used are the red and
brown haclles, grizzly king, white
miller, etc.
have taken many trout when 1t was
80 dark 1 could not see the fly on the
surface of the water for that matter.
One pool in particular remember that
was entirely surrounded and overhung
with large forest trees, and at ten
o'clock at night was as dark as any
place ever saw, yet have taken
trout there often at that hour during
August.

A French journal relates an incident
In which naughty functionary re-
ceived what In the vernacular of our
own country would be called meat
set-down." This naughty person was
a member Of the chamber Of deputies
and much given to long speeches. One
day he found another deputy convers-
ing in the lobby with man whose
face seemed familiar to him, but whom
he could not remember. He fancied the
man must be an intruding journalist.
Pardon me-" he said to the other
man, "but whom have we here2"
"Allow me to introduce to you," an
swered the deputy, 'the man who has
written more falsehoods and stupidities
than any other man living"
''Indeed!" said the great man. "Then
my supposition was correct that he Is a
Journalism"
"Not at all; he Is the official reporter
Of the chamber"

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is Said to 30 Conducive to
Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said to 30 Conducive to
Longevity.
AS factor in longevity the London
Speaker calls attention to the fact that
those people who have been accustomed
to the continued disciplinary use OF
their brains daily and who have placed
their nerve power under highly-de-
veloped constitutional training are en-
abled by these very means to escape
the so-called early decay and to avoid
those alarming accidents to health
from which so many apparently healthy
men succumb. People who use their
brains and observe ordinary hygienio
care of their bodies resist diseases in
the first place; and when they are
actually ill they prolong their lives or
recuperate sooner than do those who
have lived less intellectual lives. Thus
there is given new force to the asser-
tion that you may kill man with
anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult
to kill him with work.
Whether the brain can actually give
power to the muscles is not certain,
though the enormous strength some-
times developed in last rally looks
very much like it. That it can material.
ly affect vitality is quite certain, and
has been acknowledged by the experi-
enced In all ages.

THE FLOW OF TREASURE.
Influence Of Increased Wealth on Intel
lectuallty.

Influence OF Increased Wealth on Intal-
lectuality.
In 1902 Columbus discovered America,
and, as the stream of treasure slowly
flowed into Europe, new life dawned.
1t was the opening of modern times.
For the first fifty years, says the Fort
nightly Review, the influx of the
precious metals was not enormous, but
Potosi was opened in 1545, and then the
flood of silver reached its height, and
the power of the stimulant was felt.
"Silver sunk in it's real value, or
would exchange for a smaller quantity
of labor than before; and corn rose in
its nominal price, and 9lstead of being
commonly sold for about two ounces OF
silver the quarter y came to be
sold for six and eight"
Yet though there was this great rise
in commodities, the relative values OF
the precious metals remained unaltered
during the whole of the sixteenth CEN
tury, and in 1900 the ratio OF gold to
silver was twelve to one, precisely
where it had been two hundred years
before.
Nothing is more curious and inter
esting than to watch the impulse given
to intellectual activity as the tide OF
money ran from south to north. In
1915 Raphael and Michael Angelo were
in their prime; in 1919 Luther denied
the papal supremacy; in 1909 Calvin
was born at Noyon, while Shakespeare
did not see the light till 1864. Science
came little later, for Calico was not
eminent much before 1899, and Keplel
only took his masters degree in 1891.
Adam Smith says that the new silvel
"does not seem to have had any yer!
sensible effect upon the prices Of thing
in England till after 1870" But within
twenty-five years from then Shakes
peare was writing his plays, Bacon wa
in parliament, and Drake had become
the greatest seaman Of the world. II

WINTER IN The SUBURBS.

! supreme.

When the Glad Spring Cometh Joy Reigna
/ supreme.
There is perhaps nothing more dis
agreeable to the average lover OF COM
fort than to have to spend winter in
the suburbs, writes one who has had
the experience, in Harpers Bazaar,
where there is nothing at all going on
but the household bills, and where the
wind blows the snow about at such
rate that when the boy digs path to
the sidewalk, it is so well covered by
the time he reaches the street that he
has to make new path that he may
get back to the house dry.
Ard then the wind means dismally
about the chimney ali night, and shakes
the house so that the pictures swing on
the walls, and the quinine pills rattle in
a merry tattoo in the bottle on the
bureau. And this wind blows down
the chimney, and makes the curtains
flap like sails, and cools the room, and
blows the ashes off the hearth until the
room seems filed with dense London
fog. The milkman doesn't arrive until
the head of the house has left for the
train. Then comes leak in the root
that let's the slush tricl1le down into
the swinging lamp. The plumbing
bursts, and plumber cannot be had,
because he goes first to the richest man
in the town, and all the pipes are
frozen. Then the snowstorm comes un'
der the door-all but the snowbird.
But now all the hardships are over
The snow has gone, the frogs are croak
ing, the bluebird is singing and the
yiolets are blowing in the twinklinG
grass. The smile of spring gilds hills
and valleys like gentle benson, ant
the air is throbbing with wild magic
music that makes one feel young an(
happy. The lamblsins are capcrine
about in widest glce, and the lons
bright days, shimmering in gold anC
painted with lily and lilac, fade away
like fairy dream.
And the ruralite is happy, for now hi
gets his great reward for suffering
there all winter Now, in the ROSY
reign of spring, he sallies forth full o
the music of gladness-he has rented
his house for the summer.
