You needn't mail an answer to this
simple conundrum. We know that you
know that fellow-we use the term in
no offensive sense-is yellow because he
is bilious. In other words, his liver has
got out of order, his bowels have become
constipated. His skin and eyeballs as

coat of fur, even in the summer time;
beneath his right shoulder blade and
ribs twinges remind him that very
restless imp is in their immediate vicin-
ity. Now, if this hapless individual will
simply procure and use at once Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters he'll be all right

Silver, Cotton and Wheat.
Atlanta Constitution.

Mr.. W. Il. West, of Okolona, Ark,
writes to the Constitution as follows
Editor Constitution-Why is it that
the price of silver bullion governs the
price of cotton and wheat "a PROPOSE
ton that statistics prove to be true for
the last twenty years. But why is it
500
1t is very simple. The wheat and
cotton grown in British India compete in
the English markets with the wheat
and cutton produced in the United
States. The wheat and cotton of British
India is purchased with and moved out
of that country by means of silver cur
rency. 1t is only among the British
residents in the seaport towns of India
that the purchasing power Of the silver
rupee has deprecated, Among the great
mass of the population of British India
silver has not deprecated in the slight
est degree. A rupee will purchase as
much now as it would when the market
value of the metal was 81. 81. An ounce
of silver would purchase bushel of
wheat in that county in 1878 and it will
purchase a bushel of wheat in that
country now. An ounce Of silver would
purchase ten pounds Of cotton in British
India in 1878, and it will purchase ten
pounds of cotton in that country to-day.
The result of this is that when the
wheat and cotton growers o. this coun-
try send their products abroad, they are
compelled to take the equivalent of an
ounce of silver for bushel OF wheat and
for ten pounds of cotton. 1t has, there
fore, been the policy of England to de-
preciate the commercial value of silver.
Why2 In order to get cheaper wheat for
her pauper workingmen, and cheap cot
ton for their manufactures.
The commercial value Of silver meas
ures the price of wheat and cotton for
the simple reason that the producers of
wheat and cotton in British India can
sell bushel of one and ten pounds of
the other for an ounce of silver and
pocket as much money as they ever did.
And this is one Of tie reasons why the
policy of this country should run counter
to the policy of Great Britain-one Of
the reasons why the people of the United
States should place their influence be-
hind silver and legislate to increase the
demand for it as money and thereby in
crease its value.

All Are Sons of Adam.

It looks as though five races of mankind were represented by five of the police detectives who were assigned to a police job one day in this city, and whose names were O'Donoghue, Petrosini, Krauch, CO hen and Butler. Most people, in looking at these names, will be apt to make a guess as to which branch of the human family the bearer of each of them belongs. His guess may be right, or it may be wrong in every instance. The first named of these detectives may not be of tho Celtic race, or the second of the Ital- ic, or the third of the Teutonic, or the fourth of the Hebrew, or the fifth of some race different from the other four of them. It would not be safe for any one to make a bet upon the racial utilization of each or all of the five men named, unless the bet tor had previously ascertained the facts. In New York you cannot al- ways tell by a mans name what race he sprang from. It were possi- ble that man bearing any one of the five names here given might be Pottawatomie Indian, or a Turk, or Mexican, or a Portuguese, or 9 Greek. There may be magic in name, as a poet, who died long ago, once suggested. New York Sun.

Only Fungi,

It is said that the poet Tennyson, although he was himself a scientific thinker, often complained of modern thought and teaching because they tend to take the romance and poet ry from children's lives. Perhaps he did not always remember that science, in destroying a pretty be lief, usually puts some other in its place. It seemed to him that tho loss was irreparable.
 An illustration of the prosaic bent given the mind of the modern child once came out in the course of the poets conversation.
 It was only yesterday" said he, that l was walking in tho fields with one of my nephews, a little chap of s or 10, when we came to 2 fairy ring. Look, said, look here, my boy, here is fairy ring.

Dr. Mary Walker. the ancient aud original apostle of bloomers is just now taking a lively interest in the bloomer craze which is abroad in the land. She proposes to start a bloomer farm in New York. Now a bloomer farm according to Dr. Mary's idea is not a farm for the production of bloomers but a place where the female form divine arrayed in bloOmer costume may bask ia its own loveliness away from the horrid gaze of the male sex. In other words she proposes 60 start a farm tO be cultivated entirely by women in bloomer costumes and no man is to be permitted to enter the place Every woman who goes on the farm to make it her home will be required to take pledge to wear bloomerS all her life and to live a life of celibacy. She is said to have procured l35 acres of land for the purpose in the central part of the state of New York.

A. J. Doran's Experience with a RObber
 Hon A. J. Doran, returned Satur day evening from a visit to Flor ence. On his way between Flor ence and Casa Grande he had an cx
 perience with a stage rObber which makes him feel thankful he is alive
 Mir. Doran was sitting in the stag, reading paper when all of a Sut. den the stage stopped and on look ing up he found himself face to face with a strapping big Mexican and a murderous looking six shooter in uucomfortably close proxlmnity tc to his face. The usual order ol hands up" Was given when the rob- Der demanded both Mr. Dorau and the driver to give up all they had MT. Doran contributed S200 aud the driver S2.l0. The driver was then ordered to throw out the mail sack which was done aal MT. Doran was ordered to cut open the sack. He argued this point at some length with the robber but the latter in- sisted on his point when the sack was finally cut open and the con teuts exposed. Mir. Dorau was en- gagged in pushing the letters aromd with the toe of his shoe that the rObber might be able to pick out what was wanted and this attracted the mans attention for a moment when the plucky MT. Doran grappled with the robber catching hold of the barrel of the pistol and tried to wrench it from his hands. The struggle which ensued was quite lively but brief the robber coming off victorious having the more secure hold on the weapon. During the brief struggle the pistol was dis charged the bullet passing uncom fortably close to Mir Doran The latter called for the driver to assist him but he refused to do so. Mr. DOran says that with his assistance they could easily have overpowered the man. When the robber o6- tained possession of the pistol he started for his horse which was hitched a short distance away ieav- ing the mail untouched is h. reached his horse he turned to Mr Doran and with an oath remarked ''I am going to kill you". MT. Doran fully expected that he would cary out his threat when he mounted ais horse, but 10 his surprise as well a. to his relief the man started off in an opposite direction.
 The hold up occurred near Dty Lake, the scene of former stage rob. berries and took place about five o'clock in the afternoon. It was only year ago last month that Mr. DOran was one of a party of SIX who were held up within two mics oI Congress and at that time he gave up fine gold watch and about S3O or $40 in money. He says this "hold up' business is becoming quite monotOnous.

COATING COTTON WITH SILK.
A Process Similar to Silver Plating Ts'e'
 on Textile Eabrios.

on Textile Fabrics.
 A great deal of tableware is made of an alloy containing copper, zinc and nickel, plated with silver. Simi- larly it has now been found practi- cable to give a silk coating to cotton and linen fabrics, thus imparting to the goods beautiful luster and a soft feeling not found in the untreat- ed material. The silk used for this purpose is waste that could not be devoted to any other service.
 A French publication, Le Moni- teur de Ia Teinture, recently de- scribed the apparatus and processes required for this work. The solid framework of all vegetable fiber is composed mainly of a chemical con- pound called cellulose. Any cellu- lose tissue may be treated success fully by this system. The yarn or woven goods are first run through a bath of strong sulphurio acid or oaustic potash. If there be any ani- nal fiber intermixed with the cellu- lose the acid bath is preferable. By oompressing the material with roll CTS tho air is forced out of the pores and the liquid is more readily ab- sorbed. Then, after going through a washing machine, the cloth is dried under tension to keep it from creasing. The tissue has now not only been freed from certain impu- rites and become winter, but its na- ture has been slightly modified. An other bath is prepared, in which silk waste has been dissolved. The liquid used for this purpose is a solution of very pure hydrated oxide of cop per on nickel in ammonia, although here again an acid may be used in- stead of an alkali.
 Special provision is made, through water jackets, for keeping all these liquids cool The temperature must be maintained at or below 45 de- grees F. At length the goods to be coated are run through the silk solution and squeezed as before to exclude air and absorb the liquid. The silk thus penetrates all through the cellulose. In the next drying the cloth loses the ammonia, which is carefully recovered in the form of vapor, condensed and used again. The material is therefore soaked in a weak solution of an acid having a special affinity for that metal, and forming herewith a salt which easi- ly dissolves. After fresh washing then the cellulose Is left with a coat ing of silk and nothing more. If this first coat is not as thick as is desired a second and third may be applied, and then the silk tissues are mech anically finished by beetling. calen- dering, brushing, polishing and press. ing. If any dye is to be imparted to the goods, it is used just before they are immersed in the silk solution.- New York Tribune.
