malignant fairy has been making the
protecttonists and the free silverites alike.
The protectionist cannot understand how
prices of manufactured commodities
should rise and wages of labor advance
under a wicked free trade tariff. TO the
silverites the advances in the prices of
wheat, cotton and other agricultural pro-
ducts under a gold standard is quite as
great mystery. The simple explanation
is that the theories OF the protectionists
and of the silverites both are false and
incapable of standing the test of reason
and experience. Truth is the genius that
has made skies and sevens of the predic-
tions of the calamity howlers and OF the

A few days ago. It was thought that
there was no prospect whatever OF any ac-
ton being taken by European countries
in respect to the silver question Sudden
ly, and rather Unexpectedly. this view OF
the matter has been changed. It is now
regarded as,probable that there will be an
International silver conference, not later
than the middle Of October. The reasons
for this belief are the following: The
ROsebery ministry in England has been
defeated and viii be succeeded by a minis
try of which Lord Salisbury will be the
head. In the Salisbury cabinet there will
be several strong men who are heartily IN
favor of settling the silver question up
on some basis that would be satisfactory
to all the great commercial nations. One
of these men is Mr.. Balfour. who has
been very active in his efforts in behalf Of
genuine bi-mefallism. His influence, to-
gether with that Of other men who will, in
all probability. be members of the new
government. will. there are reasons for
thinking. be sufficient to induce England
TO take part in a silver. conference. If one
should be held.
The announcement is also made that the
Bundesrath of Germany favors an inter
national agreement. That body by a vota
Of ~ to 16, decides in favor Of a conference.
If England and Germany should agree to
hold a conference the other European
countries. together with this country,
would take part in 1t. 1t is well known that
France is anxious to have the silver ques-
ton disposed Of In fact, the silver ques-
ton is a rather troublesome one in all
European countries. There isn't one of
them that wouldn't like to have 1t perma-
nently settled.
As long as there was a prospect that
this country would adopt the silver stand
ard Europe took little interest in the sill
yer question, but now that 1t is daily be-
coming more apparent that this country
will hold on to the gold standards stand
ard it has had for more than sixty years
unless an international agreement is adop-
ted European countries are manifesting
more interest in the silver question.
The bare prospect of an international
silver congress will not, of course, check
the agitation in behalf of free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver in this country The
agitation will continue, but it will accom-
plish nothing. The conviction is steadily
growing that this country could commit
no greater folly than to adopt alone free
and unlimited silver coinage at the exist
ing ratio, but there would be a very gem
eral acceptance of settlement of the
nations gave their approval. The nations
would then be upon an equal footing,in the
matter of silver, and one nation would
have no advantage OF another in respect
to its currency.

The official records show that the banks
of the silver states-Colorado, Montana,
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah
and Nevada-held on May Z, 1895, nine
times as much gold as silver. All told,
they held less than 100000 in silver. The
people of those states evidently like well
enough TO talk about silver. but when it
comes TO the rub. they prefer to hold gold.

a few years later they became friends
again, and Salisbury accepted a place in
Disraelfs cabinet. Salisbury became

Congressman Josiah Patterson, who is
to deliver speech in this city shortly
has been making a comparison, from Off
and other gold standard countries with the
wages paid in silver standard countries
With regard to Mexico. the records show
that a laboring man in the United States
gets for a days work twice as much in
money equal in value to gold as the labor
ing man in Mexico gets in silver, and the
American laborer's dollar has nearly twice
the purchasing power of the Mexcan's.
A comparison between England (gold) and
Russia silver shows that the English la
borer gets about three times as much for
a days labor as the Russian gets, reducing
the Russian currency to a gold basis. Tur>
key is heather country with a gold
standard. China is a heather county with
a silver standard. In Turkey the laborer's
wages are three times as much as in China.

As a curative agent the snake, dead or
alive, is thought highly Of, In Suffolk
they hold that goiter may be cured In the
following manner Let second person
hold the common snake by its head and
tail and draw 1t slowly nine times across
the diseased neck, but after every third
time the creature must be allowed to
crawl about awhile. 1t must afterward
be put alive into a bottle, which should
be tightly corked and buried--the swelling
will waste with the snake. Some soy the
snake should be killed and Its skin worn
around the neck.

thorns, but Its virtue is rcpellent, not at
tractive. For instance, slough bound

White Handled Raxors.

There are many BARRIERS who will not
own q white handled razor because of
an old superstition that bad luck goes
with it. A razor is to the barber what q
locomotive is to the engineer, and there
are more things to learn about it than
one would suppose. For instance, there
are razors that will cut certain qualities
of hair better at certain seasons than at
others. Climate and weather have q
great deal to do with razors. Some will
cut better in cold weather and some In
hot. These are only few of the causes
that affect razors, and they and many
more all tend to make the barber who
does much work keep accommodating ra-
zors until he has all sorts to pick from.

Hot Milk Cure.

Those who are afflicted with skin orup-
lions, especially with the rcd blotch,S and
hard little Jumps known as eczemous
acne, will find relief by persevering in the
following 81 pie and inexpensive cure:
Do not baihe the affected parts in water.
This aggravates cutaneous affections.
Each night before retiring, heat about
pint of fresh, sweet milk. Do not let 1t
boil, but let 1t rise just to the boiling
point. Boiled milk loses its healing vir-
tue. Then, with an old linen handker-
chief sop the hot fluid generously on the
affected parts. Do not wipe the milk off,
but let it dry into the skin.
In the morning battle the skin in lit.
tie hot milk or in dilution of listerine
in hot water in the proportion Of two pints
Of hot water to one of listerine. Eat NO
constipating food. Avoid especially new
fine bread, sugar, pastry and all starchy
foods. Fruit, lettuce and radishes may be
taken with good results. Be careful not
to worry. Worriment is often the direct
cause of eczema. Exercise actively in the
open air, but do not heat the system.
If you will follow these few simple
rules and will persist in the application OF
the hot milk each night before retiring,
the red spots will soon fade away, and the
hard Jumps will gradually soften and dis.
appear. York Herald.

WHAT FLAGS SIGNIFY.
The Coiors of n Regiment or ship Are
Something Moro Than Mere Silk.


Something More Than Mere silk.
Flags are not merely so many yards of
silk. They represent to soldier what Is
noblcst in his country's history and insti.
buttons. Their loss under circumstances
short of heroic is an eternal disgrace to
the regiment losing them. Only death
can excuse the color guard from defending
them, and when he has been shot or cut
down others should be ready to stand by
the flag In the navy vessel never strikes
her colors except to acknowledge defeat
For this reason when in that great sea
duel between Paul Jones' Bonhommio
Richard and the English Scraps, which
lasted far into the night the ensign was
shot away from the halyards, Lieutenant
Stafford plunged into the sea after 1t, and
Drawing n double dcath-he was in fact,
wounded while swimming-saved 1t and
set it again, and 1t was the Scraps which
finally struck.
Next to our own flag, that of Great
Britain interests us most 1t Is called the
"union' flag because 1t is three flags in
one. The flag of England is n red cross
on white field; that of Scotland, a white
st. Andrews cross on q blue field. These
flags were combined when England and
Scotland united in 1888, and on the union
with Ireland tho Irish flag, n red st. An
drew's cross on white field, was added
The union of the three countries is thus
indicated ON the union" The St.
Georges cross of England remains ms be

dividing it into four quarters occupied by
the st. Andrews crosses, the white of
Scotland and the red of Ireland, which are
placed side by $50.
Aboard British warship the "'union"
| Is hoisted only when the queen or an adj
miral is aboard. English ships sail under
the British ensign, of which there are three
| kinds-white, blue and rcd-each with
the union in n square in the upper part OF
the hoist-that portion of the flag along
the staff. The navy, and, by special per
mission, the Royal Yacht club, sail under
the white ensign, which has, besides the
union, the red cross of st. George over the
whole The blue ensign is a privilege al

Of the red and the "admiral Of the

because it was found puzzling in action
and was often eliminated. Trafalgar, fol
instance, was fought under the white en-

into action without setting their colors
but were later obliged to hoist them SO a,
