Siivcr's Purchasing Power.

Mr.. G. l.. Belcher, a prominent Texan
who has spent much time in Mexico. has
this to say OF the relative purchasing
power OF silver and gold in that coun-
try:
Il have had my eyes opened recently
in regard to the currency question"
said Mr.. Relchcr. Il am told that only
a few decades ago the Mexican gold
dollar was worth the same as a Mexican
silver dollar To-day the gold dollar is
worth exactly two silver dollars, but a
silver dollar to-day will buy just IS
much as 1t would then. The gold dol
lar will buy twice as much. To my
mind. this is proof positive of the oft
repeated assertion that gold has gone
up in price Instead of silver going
down"

THE WOMAN'S BIBLE.
Prominent Women Who Say the Present
One Is DISCRIMINATING.

Woman, in the person Of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, has laid her hand upon
Genesis, the Exodus, Leviicus, the
Psalms of David and the songs of Sol
OmOn, the script of Matthew and the
word of the acts, and is about to bring
forth from them and their companion
qieces a new Bible. The revision or
new translation is to be 1.-The Woman's
Bible" The version of the Bible ad-
dressed to The most high and mighty
Prince James," and the revision of the
same, completed but a few years ago,
leaves woman's position in the scrip,
asserts Mrs. Stanton, iar inferior to
man. Mrs. Stanton's cOlaborers or
apostles in the preparation Of the new
work are named to include Lady Hen
ry Somerset, Miss Frances Lord,
Mrs. Stanton Blatch, who is Mrs. Stan
tons daughter, and Mrs. Cliff Scatch-
erd Of England and the following of
America: Frances E. Willard, Rev.
Phoebe Hanaford, Rev. Olympia
Brown, Mrs Robert InGersoll, Ellen B.
Dietrich, Frances f. Burr. Matilda
Josyln Gage. Sarah A. Underwood.
Mary A. Livermore. Lille D. Blake.
Mrs. L. B. Chandler, Carrie Chapman
Gait, Josephine X. Henry. c. A. F.
Stebbins, Helen NJ. Gardener, Clara
be"lch oolDy, MTS. L. D. Hldliu4s.
In the cause of the new woman, Mrs.
Stanton has felt that the worst foe to
her advancement was the misconcep-
ton Of the present Bible, as regards
woman. Some of the advanced women
Of New York felt as Mrs. Stanton did,
and joined with her in the preparation
of a new version of the book of books.
Mrs. Stanton said to the little group of
women gathered about her when she
first broached the question of Bible
for women alone:
Sufficient attention has not been CIV
en- to the position of woman in the di-
vine book. The various revisions have
treated with scant consideration those
portions relating to woman, the Bible
is constantly referred to. TO show the
inferiority of the sex. This being so
IL is absolutely necessary that the mis-
conceptions as to the attitude Of the
Bible towards woman, arising from
wrong translations and interpretations
should be corrected
1t is hoped the book will be complet-
ed this year.

THE BUCKEYE STATE CONTRIB
UTES THIS STORY.
How Fred Taylor, of the Gallant 1s9th
N. y, v. l.. Finally Found
What He Sought,

(From the Ashtabula, Ohio. Beacon.)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near Elmira. N. Y, and from there
enlisted in the ls9th regiment. N. Y. V.
l., with which he went through the war,
and saw much hard service. Owing to
exposure and hardships during the SER
vice, Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic
diarrhoea from which he has suffered
now over 30 years. with absolutely no
help from physicians BY nature he
was . wonderfully vigorous man. Had
he not been his disease and the expert
ments OF the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches. his nerves were shat
tered. he could not sleep an hour 4 day
on an average. and he was reduced to
skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
sought relief in change of climate and
removed to Geneva. Ohio; but the
change in health came not. Finally on
the recommendation of F. ]. Hoffner.
the leading druggist of Geneva. who
was cognizant of similar cases which
Pink Pills had cured Mr.. Taylor was
persuaded to try box. LAS a drown
ing man grasps a straw so l took the
pills., says Mr. Taylor, but with no
more hope OF rescue. But after thirty
years of suffering and fruitless search
for relief l at last found it in DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills. The day after took
the first pills commenced to feel better

was in fact a new man" That was
two months ago. Mr.. Taylor has since
taken more of the pills and his progress
n steady and he has the utmost con-
fidence in them. He has regained full
control OF his nerves and sleeps as well
as in his youth. Color is coming back
to his parched veins and he is gaining
flesh and strength rapidly. He is now
able to do considerabl outdoor work.
AS he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings. experience and cure to a Beacon
reporter Mrs. Taylor said she
wished to add her testimony in
favor of Pink Pills. ITO the pills alone
IL due the credit of raising Mr.. Taylor
from helpless invalid to the man he is
to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor can not find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering
humanity. Any inquiries addressed to
them at Geneva, Ohio. regarding Mr..
Taylors case they will cheerfully an
swer as they are anxious that the whole
world shall know what Pink Pills have
done for them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists. or may be had by mail

DICKENS DENOUMENTs.
Strange Similarity in the Cllmaxea
of Many of His Stories.

Strange Similarity in the Climaxes
of Many of His Stories.
1t is curious what a penchant Dick
ems had for certain melodramatic sit
uations, which seemed to his fancy SO
telling that he repeated and reproduc-
ed them many times over. He had
lively dramatic turn, and l have nj
ways thought would have had extrlor-
dinary success as dramatist. l once
asked him why he had not taken up
this Zine" seriously. and think he
made the excuse-it was long ago,
many years before his death-that he
had not time, taste or patience. The
real req son, no doubt, was that he
and would not carve heads upon a
cherry stone"
A literary friend who has his Boz
at his finger ends, has with great
acutcness pointed out to me that
Nicholas Nickleby was I genuine
"Adelphi walking gentleman" his
manner. heroic bursts. protection OF
his sister, boarding OF Ralph, etc.
were all elements in the AdelHhi melo-
drama. Ralph was regular stage
villain. That his works are all DRAM
attic md conceived In the true spirit
Of the stage is plain from the vast
list Of adaptions. Each story has been
adapted again, and will bear the pro-
Cess admirably.
One method of winding up his plot
to which. he was exceedingly partial,
was the unmasking of the villain ow-
ing to the betrayal of some confeder-
ate. The parties are generally brought
together in room by the more virtu-
Gus members; the confederate then
emerges from his concealment and
tells a long story of yillainy. This
denouement is seen first in "Oliver
Twist" where Monks makes his reve-
lations. In "Nickleby" Ralph is con-
fronted with "the man Snawley" and
Squeers.
In THE Old Curiosity shop" Quilp is
similarly exposed. In "Barnaby
Rudge" Haredale forces his herald
tary enemy TO make revelations. In
"Chuzzlewit" Jonas is confronted with
another betrayer. In "Copperfield'
Urlah Heap is denounced and exposed
by Mr.. Micawber In BLEAK House.
Lady Deadlock is similarly tracked.
In nearly all the cases the guilty per
son goes of and commits suicide

Ieere Is No Reason Why They Should

While the subject of good roads is be-
ing asitated in every part OF the country
those most interested in the subject are
doing their best to make bad roads
still worse by using narrow tires on
their wagons. Heavy loads are drawn
over our mud roads on these narrow
tired wagons and deep ruts cut into
them, that in wet weather make them
almost. and sometimes entirely. i'm
passable. | have a sort of a pity for
n man who urges his team along a
muddy road. all the time grumblinE
about the badness Of it. when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one
third to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper 1t is to be hoped that the first
legislation looking to the improvement
Of the roads OF the country will be in the
way of encouraging the use Of wide
tires. for one narrow-tired wagon will
do more damage than dozen with
wide tires II the roads are at all soft.
No one disputes the philosophy of wide
tires, and no one seems to have any
good reason TO offer why they should
not be used. Our farmers simply fol-
low precedent and go on using narrow
tires because their fathers did before
them. Lumhermen and freighters use
wide tires almost universally and save
money by doing so. but 1t seems that
farmers do not care to economize in
this direction. The condition of our
roads costs us more than any other
single item of waste in this country.
and the common use of wide tires
would reduce this waste Of energy to
a large eNtent.-American Farmer and

The Cape Law Journal gives the following
as n Judgment actually delivered by court
In Egypt. II scents that partnership com.
posed of four pGrEDnS owned each leg or
a cat. We presume each partner had a
specified leg OF the cat. One leg was wound.
ed, and an oil rag thereon caught frc and
the other three legs carried the fiery leg
among some cotton belonging to the partner
ship. Here Is the Judgment;
''rhe leg that had the oil rag on II was
hurt; the cat could not use that leg-in fact,
Il held up that leg, aud ran with the other
three legs. The three unhurt legs therefore
carried the fire to the cotton, and are alone
culpable. The injured leg Is not to be
blamed The thrrc partners who owned the
three legs with which the cat ran to the cot
ton will pay the whole value OF the bales to
the partner who was the proprietor OF the
injured leg. F"
Articlcd clerks are invited to criticisc this
Judgment and point out Its errors according
