satisfaction to all, otherwise the Board of Ed

are worth as much to us as to Others and
should be paid as much as others would allow

There is only one difficulty in the
way of doubling the value of horses, OF
silver, or anything else. That difficulty
| lies in the unfortunate fact that nc
matter how we may change the tags
| that mark the nominal values of things
we cannot thereby alter their. instrinsic
and actual worth. Macaulay, in his
History of England" speaking of a
minister of finance who could not I'M
derstand why English coins would not
circulate at the value stamped upon
them, says: HE was not in the least
aware that piece of metal with the
Kings head on it was commodity of
which the price was governed by the
same laws which govern the price of a
piece of metal fashioned into a spoon
or buckle, and that it was no more in
the power of Parliament to make the
kingdom richer by calling a crown a
pound than to make the kingdom larg-
er by calling furlong a mile. He
seriously believed, incredible as it may
seem, that if an ounce of silver were
divided into seven shillings instead of
five shillings, foreign nations would
sell US their wines and silks for similar
number of ounces.n All the honest be-
levers in COINS" charlatantic plan
for raising horses to a parity with
electricity, and silver to parity with
gold, at ratios to suit ourselves, are in
the same state of mental mist and finan-
cial fog.-B0It San.
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE CUT
WoRM.-Morgantoaon, W. Va, June 8.
The people at the agricultural eX-
pertinent station have been making
some observations concerning cut
worms this Spring, attention being
called to the pests on account of their
great prevalence and the damage they
are doing. 1t is determined that the
cutworms, after their career as such
is ended, turn into grasshoppers and
as such lay the eggs in the fall, from
which the cut-wOrm comes again.
Their plentifulness this spring is at
tributed to the dry weather of last
summer, which was favorable for the
deposit of the eggs and for their pro-
lection. The severe weather of the
last two winters and the work of the
hunters haYe made quail and turkeys
very scarce, and as they feed largely
upon grasshoppers and worms they
were not numerous enough to destroy
the embryonic pests.
Experiments with cut-worms placed
under glass eases and fed go to show
that the grasshopper theory is the cor
rect one, and it is believed that the
grasshopper plague later in the season
will be as bad as the cut-worm plague
is at present. The cut-worms have
never been known to be worse than
they are this season.
Mrs. Cleveland and her children left
Washington Wednesday for the family
