AN HONEST DOLLAR.

heard from the eastern portion OF
this country, a great cry of "honest
money" ''safe money" and a
"sound currency" etc. These
pleasing adjectives help to round
off very seductive phrase, and are
liable to mislead and deceive the
every elect" The use of these
terms is intended to discredit, by
way of comparison, all money as a
standard except gold. In other
words that silver and paper money
are dishonest unsafe" and
"unsound." The people of this
country are deeply interested in
this question, and all "honest" men
will insist on using "honest"
money, "safe" money. and Sound"
money. We cannot in a short
article like this, discuss this ques-
ton fully or in detail, but will SIM
ply give it a passing notice. What
is honest money! 1t is that kind
of money which will perform the
mission it is called to do without
any price or premium. 1t is like
an honest man, who will be true
to his duty, and unwavering in his
friendship in adversely as well as in
prosperity, in storms as well as
under sunlit skies. An "honest
dollar" will not hide itself in the
, vaults of the banker, or bury itself
in treasure boxes of the mizer in
time of national war, and demand
two or three hundred per cent pre-
MUM before it will show its face.
1t will not be one dollar today, and
two dollars tomorrow, and three
dollars the next, and then be dol
lar again. 1t will not be one
plain dollar one day, for the pur-
pose of making loan, and another
day require two dollars to pay the
debt. Any man who would be SO
erratic, would not be termed an
honest man; neither should a dollar
be called honest, that is guilty of
such instability.
Gold has always been uncertain
in time of national trouble. 1t is
an arrant coward In time of war.
1t is like the fellows who run off
to Canada, during the last war, to
escape the draft. 1t is never
patriotic, or loyal when needed; but
is arrogant and boastful after the
danger has passed. 1t is a money
which grinds down the laborer and
the producer, and clothes the spec {
ulator With purple and fine I
linen" As to the name of
honesty, when applied to money we
may say, that any money is honest I
that faithfully and at all times per- {
forms its functions or Office. ANY :
material may become money which
receives the sanction of law, and
the usage of custom. As to the
;wo monetary metals of the world,
'ilver is the more "honest" of all,
when considered by the test we
nave just mentioned. 1t has stood
he trial of the medium of exchange
or thousands of years; it has been
.eliable in time of war as well as in 2
,eace; it has never faltered or )

A HORSES INTELLIGENCE.


The Destruction Of a Levee In Louisiana
Prevented by a Noble Animal.
Your correspondent met a gentleman
Yesterday who gives the following ac-
count of a most singular evidence Of IN
telligence on the part Of horse belong
ing to K. L. Moore of this parish. The
horses name is Dixie, and Moore raised
him from n colt and is much attached TO
the animal During the spring Of 1899
Dixie's knee was hurt while employed
in repairing lovees, and for some weeks
thereafter he was not able to work a5
all and was allowed to run loose III the
pasture and about the place.
One morning, when the hands were all
in the fields at work and Moore himself
was riding after them, they heard vio-
lent ringing oil the big plantation bell
back at the house. Thinking something
dreadful had happened to his wife or
children perhaps, Moore put spurs to
his horse, and calling to the hands to
follow galloped up to the house When
he got there, he found Mrs. Moore and
the children safe and sound and very
much amused at old Dixie, who had
managed to open the yard gate and was
pulling ON the bell rope like a crazy
thing. All their efforts to drive the
horse away had been in vain. He only
continued to ring the bell more loudly.
Moore began to suspect that Dixie
might know what he was about, after
all. and went ont to investigate. When
the horse saw his master, he let go the
hell rope and ran off toward the pasture,
looking back and tossing his head at ev-
erv step, as if to say, Come on
Moore soon saw that something unusual
had occurred and followed after Dixie
as fast. as he could. The horse made
straight for the levee at the lower end OF
the pasture and stopped short under
big cottonwood tree.
When Moore came up, what was ms
establishment to see a little break IN the
levee, with the water trickhng through
Quickly su1Amoning the hands, the
breach was. soon healed

The Popular Science News calls atten-
ton to a most remarkable account Of the
position Of certain planets as located in
"Gulliver's Travels This book, wri6-
ten somewhere about 1926, contains the
following words: "They spend the
greater part of their lives in observing
the celestial bodies, which they do by
the assistance of glasses far excelling
ours in goodness. They have likewise
discovered two lesser stars, OF satellites,
whichrevolye about Mars, whereof the
innermost is distant from the center Of
the primary planet exactly three Of his
diameters and the outernost five. The
former revOlves i'll the space of 10 hours,
and the latter in 81 e so that the
SQUARES Of their periodical times are very
near i'll the same proportion VITA tho
cubes Of their distance from the center
of Mars
One hundred and fifty years before it
was known chat Mars had a satellite,
when the theory that it had one would
have been met with ridicule, or at least
disbelief, the author Of this remarkable
book described the exact number of satel-
lites that Nars possessed, told their loca-
tion and unusual speed; also a peculiar
ity in the relation Of the speed 70 the
central orb, a peculiarly based upon no
principles with which astronomers arc
familiar. A careful study Ct the state
ments made by many writers Of marked
ability Will almost inevitably lead Us to
the conclusion that certain imaginative
minds have the gift Of prophecy or, at
all events, there may be flashes Of divl-
nation possibly unsupported by the writ
ers themselves.

The old telegraph stations OF France are
interesting relics of the past and where
they have been allowed to remain form a
feature of the landscape. They were Of two
kinds-the square towers and the round
towers. They consisted of two stories, and
the index signals, of wood or light ironi
were mounted on the top Of pole on the
roof. A ladder ran up this pole so that
the signals might be reached and moved
by hand. Tho telegraphers were provided
with telescopes, and there was always
somebody on watch on the roof TO note
signals made at the neighborlng STA
lions. The progress Of message W
nipht was naturally slower than the Jay
transmission The words were fewer at
night also, because the small lanterns ar
fixed to tho indexes could occupy only a
certain number of positions without beng
extinguished-
The first Bonaparte extended the line Oh
these stations to Milan then to Mayence
in Germany. They went no farther. soon
the French armies began to retreat to the
land from. which they came, and as they
retired they fired their telegraph posts to
prevent the enemy from using them.

Few references can be found as to the
manner i'll which a meal was served and
eaten during the dark ages AS near as
we can learn, the soup was put in big
bowl with ears, called a ''porringer y
There was seldom a spoon for each per-
son. Those who had spoons dipped them
into the porringer, and the liquid was
carried directly to each mouth Those
who were without spoons drank their
soup from the perringer, holding it by
one Of the ears, or else borrowed a spoon
Of their neighbor.
The meats were placed in a large yes
sci in the center Of the table. Each per
son present at the meal picked out with
his fingers such bits as he desired One
or two knives answered for half a dozen
guests. Those who were without knife
borrowed from those who had one. AS
a rule. the guests at table used their own
knives. There is no evidence that nap
kins were supplied to guests at this pc
Rod. AT any rate, no mention Is made OF
them. -Lippincott's.

CATS HARD 70 TRAIN.
Years of Patience and Plenty Of Kindness
Before They WIN Learn Tricks.

Years of Patience and Plenty Of Kindness
Before They WIN Learn Tricks.
An English exhibitor Of trained ami
mails. Mr.. Leoni Clarke, is reported as
saving that, though he has educated all
sorts Of animals, from lions downward,
he has found that the most difficult of
them all is the cat. He has to treat this
creature with extraordinary care. A dog
is sensible, a monkey accommodating,
and a rat either forgives or forgets-but
a cat She is a hopeless bundle Of sensl-
bilities. Strike her once, if only by &C
cident, and she Will never perform again
Kindness is not only polite, it Is abso-
lutely necessary in the training Of cats
Although 80 cats are sufficient for his
entertainment, he has 60 or more with
him. for cats are very skittish creatures,
and when they take the whim in their
heads it is useless to take them on the
stage. When Nh. Clarke enters the stable,
the moving is prodigious, and he is in
stantly buried in moving mantle OF
eats Il took him four years to train
some of his animals before he could put
them uDon the stage. A parachute cat
which climbs up q rope tosthe roof OF
the theater and flies down by parachute
is the second which has done the trick
A curious feature Of tho show is the way
in which the cats walk over rope o.
rats and mice and canaries, stepping
rinQerly sbetweea the little hutterine
bodies. This mighty forbearance Il
Brought about by training up the cat
from kittens in the same cage as tt'

The word cigar is beievedto come
from the Spanish cigarra, meaning a
grasshopper, and at first the significance
and propriety Of the term seem ques-
tionable. But in Spanish a garden was
cigarrai, or the place where the grass
hopper sang. Tobacco was usually grown
ii a cigairal, and when the leaves We're

host, specially to recommend the prod

grown in his own cigarraL Thus the
word which means grasshopper came, in
a modified form, to be applied to the
habitat Of the grasshopper, and finally
to the cigar, whose material was grow
