A NARROW ESCAPE.

The Steamboat Minnie Narrowly Avoids

While the steamboat Minnie was re,

been picnicking up the river Sunday
night, or rather Monday morning, she
narrowly escaped from drifting over the
old mill dam, near the railroad bridge,

GOOD SILVER TALK,

able man. Ilc is one of the few men in
public life who are at once politicians
and statesmen. SO far as his politics
are concerned he was brought up wrong;
that was his misfortune not his fault.
He has done the best he could under the |
hlmsclfa prominent figure in cotempo |
raneous history, Tie has been d con-
gressman, senator and twice a cabinet |
officer: the opinions of such a man are
entitled to consideration, even though
in some Of the critical times he permit |
ted partisanship to govern his conduct. |
II cannot be denied that on several occa-
sions ne was more OF republican than
he was Il patriot. Now. however, Mr..
Chandler appears to be on the right
track. AS Il prominent representative
favor of bimetalism. He has not yet
reached the point Of the United States
going it alone, but he will get there in
due time. The bridge between his pres
cnt position and independent free coin
age is but narrow one and can easily
be crossed.
That the senator is all right on the sub
Jet is evidenced by a letter published in
the Concord Monitor. lie does not re-
sort to the subterfuge of an interview,
the veracity of which he could question
if necessary, bat he boldly sails into print
over his own signature. His letter is ad-
dressed to the republicans and is an ap-
peal to them to do their duty on the IL
nancial question. Admitting that the
sentiment of the party is at present in
favor Of gold monometallism, he says:
"Republican single gold standard advo,
Gates will please bear in mind that while
they are Individually at liberty to assert
and advocate their personal views, yet
they are deliberately abandoning and be-
traying the doctrines of their party plat
form. Dealing as politicians with the
money question we must start as bimet-
allists and opposed to the single stand
ard of gold. Neither can "a republican
fulfill the party pledges in favor Of BIZ
metallsm by talking about the use of
silver ae token coinage. That is a mere
mockery of the platform. So is the talk
of the enlarged use Of silver in any
way except we mean its use as the equal
of gold at a ratio of the consensus 1915
or lG to |, and its free coinage at that
ratio. That is what we republicans have
promised the American people, we will
secure it if we can do it, and keep the
lG to silver dollars equal to gold dol
lars; We never can do it if we make our
selves traitors to our platform, and be-
come slaves to the English gold mono
metalste." If may be asked why the
dem ocratic TRIBUNE quotes approviDgly
the uterances of republican senator.
The answer Is easy. The TRIBUNE be-
ieves that the paramount question now
confronting The people Of the United
States is the financial one; free coinage
is it, politics The Old parties are diyid-
ed % the question In each there are

A GENUINE SNOOZE.
The Ludicrous Situation of Noted Com
edian,


edian.
Joe Jefferson is careful actor, but
once in Chicago he overdid one portion
of his performance. He was playing
Rip Van Wrinkle, and went to the thea
ter very much exhausted by long
days fishing on the lake. AS the cur
tain rose on. the third act, says our in
formant, it disclosed the white-haired
Rip still deep in the twenty years nap.
Five, ten, twenty minutes passed and
he did not waken. The audience began
to get impatient and the prompter I'M
easy. The great actor doubtless knew
what he was about, but this was carry
ing the realistic business too far. The
fact was that all this time jefferson
was really sleeping the sleep of the
just, or rather of the fisherman who
had sat eight hours in the sun. Final
ly the gallery became uproarlous, and
one of the gods" wanted to know if
there was going to be nineteen years
more of this snooze business" At this
point jefferson began to snore. This
decided the prompter, who opened a
small trap beneath the stage and began
to prod Rip from below. The tagged
comedian fumbled in his pocket for an
imaginary railway ticket and muttered
drowsily: ''Going right through, due
tor" At this entirely new reading the
audience was transfxed with amaze
ment, when all at once jefferson sat
up with loud shrek, evidently in
agony. The exasperated prompter had
''jabbed" him with pin.

FASHsCN IN FACE HAIR.
There Was Il Time When 1t Took Sour-

There Was Time When 1t Took Cour-
age to Wear Beard or Mustache.
The beard and mustache came into
fashion among Englishnen so recently
that middle-aged folks can easily recol-
lect when it required some courage to,
lay the razor aside and still more to
face the world during the initial
stages of the result, says the London
Standard. Toward the close of the last
century the second Lord Roieby en-
deavored to restore the pointed beard,
which went out with the Stuarts. Bat
his countrymen would not hear CT slch
an innovation, and recalled the hero of
the Gordon riots, who. when he turned
Jew, allowed his beard to grow after
the almost sacred custom of his
co-religionists. Lord Roleby, there
fore, endured to no purpose the SCOTS
of his contemporaries at what one Of
them described as 1.-The most conspicu-
GUS trait OF his person" All England
either shaved, Or compromised by per-
hitting scanty hint of a whisl1er to
grow. Even mutton chops" regard
ed in America until lately as the
peculiar mark of an Englishman, were
not generally adopted by the staider
Brltons. AS for mustaches, only mill
tary men wore them, and, indeed, cav
! airy officers had almost monopoly of
| this warlille appendage. The infantry
seldom adopted it and many officers
of high rank, like Wellington, never
wore it at any period of their career.
Even Napoleon remained throughout
! life smooth-faced, and generally piled
the razor himself Zone born to be
a king" Talleyrand explained to
Rogers, has some one to shave him,
but they who acquire kingdoms shave
themselves" Naval officers. many of
whom are, in common with their men,
t bearded like the pard-though even
they are subject to certain rules in this
respect--used to be still more strictly
! tied down. A mustache, far less a
beard, was never seen afoat. The
mustaches of foreign sailors never
failed to excite the amusement and con-
tempt of our blue jackets, just as the
bearded lips of visitor at once stamped
| him as not to the island born-he was
| probably "Frenchy," a German
waiter, singer, or circus rider.
Dickens gives expression to this pop
ular prejudice in Martin Chuzzlewit,' u
when he endows Montagu Tigg with a
mustache and the semi-military frogged
coat then in favor with shabby gentle
men who liked to be addressed as cap
tain" Him." was Mark Tapley's con-
temptuous observation; II could see
him little better if he'd shave him
self and get his hair cut. l wouldn' t
have any such Peter the Wild Boy in
my house, nor if l was paid race week
prices for it. He's enough to turn the
very beer sour" Yet Dickens himself
wore beard in his latter years.

WIND IN GEOLOGY.
1t Causes Meteorites to Disappear in
Bubbles and Dust.

The part played by the air in g.. logy
is turning out to be more important
than was generally believed. 1t is not
only that it shifts the sands of the des-
ert or the shore, and abrades the rocks
with kind of natural sandblaSt, and
conveys the ashes of volcanoes to great
distances, says the Boston Globe.
By the friction of the atmosphere it
fuses meteoric stones, and scatters their
dust far and wide. A popularity of
this meteoric dust is that it contains
numerous little hollow pellets and
tubes, as we'll as scales and angular
fragments of vitreous matter.
These pellets are discovered in ordi-
nary air by the microscope, on the tow
ers of cathedrals, and on the SHOWS of
the Alps, as well as in the Arctic re-
gions. Moreover, they are found in the
ooze at the bottom of seas and oceans,
and also in the sedimentary rocks
which have been deposited by ancient
seas.
They are formed by the air acting on
the melted surface of the meteoric
stone, and are, in fact, kind Of air
bubble of microscopic size.
M. Daubree has proved, by expert
ment, that granite perforated by a blast
of nitroglycerine gases develops such
pellets on the fused lining of the blast
hole; and quite recently NJ. Meunier,
another French geologist, has found
that the lava wool, formed by the wind
blowing on the molten lava of the Ha-
waiian volcano Mauna Loa, after the
manner of ''slag wool" consists chiefly
of such mineral tubes and pellets.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


EVERY moment spent in properly
making and packing butter for market
Isl good investment.
WHEN a kicking man and a kicking
COW get into action, we never care
which whips, though our sympathies
are with the cow.
IF it were not for the hard work in
Che dairy, it would be pity that wom-
Ell Gid not always have the practical
work of it on their hands.
THE teeth of cattle often become dis
eased and are the cause of swelling on
the jaws, When such swelling appears
always examine the mouth.
IT is pretty difficult accurately to
jndge the quality of our own butter.
N-e are prejudiced witnesses. Let
somebody else pass Judgment on it.
THE man VINO wears the same suit
that he wears in the horse stable when
milking need never expect to get milk
cream and butter of the highest flavor
WE are asked if it is advisable to
Have few Jerseys in a herd to in
erease the richness of the milk Some
esteem them very valuable for that
purpose. Their cream adds to the color

MUCH of the butter that comes to
market is a mosaic, composed of varie-
gsted eolors. This is the product of the

On the Decay of Paper.

The introduction of wood fiber into the manufacture of paper, its economic production and the attractiveness of the article so produced, have combined to tempt the papermaker not to make for 'all time" but for the day, and only sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Modern methods of book illustration require a paper of fine, even surface, with the property of semi-absorption of printers ink, and this latter requirement has resulted in the very considerable use of what is known as "half-sized" paper, i. e., pa- per which has but small proportion of gelatine, or other size ,on which the per manent cohesion of the paper depends. Such paper cannot resist the influences of alternate variations of temperature and humidity to which all books are exposed, and thus ultimate decay is probable. and Queries.
