Stimulated by Silver.

ATLANTA GA, May 4.-President vii.
liam g. Raoul, Of the Mexican National
railroad, is in the city on his way to
New York, whence he sails for Europe
on Wednesday. In an interview he
says, ,,.-, ,,....o 80
the Mexican National railroad, will
have to emphasize the points made in my
last annual report in which, accounting
for the dividends paid when 80 many
American railroads had failed to earn
them. attributed 1t to the impetus CIV
en- to the business in that country by the
use of silver for money. For four years
success, during which time American
roads have failed to pay dividends, in the
face of an exchange of 8 to l to meet our
fixed foreign charges, the Mexican Ma
tional has netted profit of $500. 1000 each
year.
"The use of the silver dollar has stimu-
lated every industry and there Is con.
tinued movement Of prosperity in that
country. The charge made In some
American papers that sixty cents worth
of silver cannot be legislated into 81 OF
coined money comes with poor grace
from those who actually legislated away
forty per cent. of the value OF the silver
dollar, or to put it in another form from
those who legislated the gold dollar to a
value of 81 so. If legislation can do the
one thing it can do the other.
"There is great deal Of false teaching
with regard to the relative value of the
two metals. During the first half of this
century, there was produced in the world
IS per cent. of silver and % per cent. OF
gold. During this time practical parity
was maintained at the ratio of ISL to i;
the variation above and below that ratio
being rarely S per cent. From 1850 to
1881, there was largely more gold than
silver produced the lines meeting and
crossing in the latter year, since which
time more silver than gold has been pro-
duced. AS accounting for the fall OF sill
YER in this period, 1t was demonetized IN
1873. when there was less silver than gold
in the world. From that year to 1892 the
excess of silver production over gold has
not exceeded per cent. In 1892, the to-
tai production of the world of both metals
for the preceding 100 years was: Gold
SIS, ,635, ,OOO, 900, silver s5,104. 100000. This
effectually disposes of the statement that
silver was becoming drug on the mar.
ket and proves that the natural order OF
production takes full care of the question
of parity with but very little legislation.
The fight is now between the people VINO
are engaged in productive work, VINO
want the maintenance of silver as CO.
equal money of final payment and the
unproductive hoarders of money. whose
only avocation is that of usury and who
want all their money stamped gold. un-
der the fostering care of government pro-
lection, of which the farmer and the arti-
san are deprived. It will be hard fight
and the gold men are willing TO- spend
millions of money to retain control OF tie
American governm ent."

A Remedy Against Flies.

"I never use window screens" said
a wise housekeeper the other day,
"because I have a fancy that they
shut out all the air in hot weather,
and, beside. they serve to keep the
flies in the house equally as we'll as to
keep them out. :,
"But J. never see fly in your house, .
said her friend. "How do you man
age it !? For my part, | must confess,
that screens or no screens, my sum
Eer means to me one long battle with
the little pests. :,
"My remedy is very simple one, y
said the good housekeeper, "and |
learned it years ago from my grand
mother, when I used to watch her put
ting punches of lavender flowers around
to Keep the flies away. My method
is simpler. 1 buy five cents worth OF
oil of lavender at the drug store and
mix it with the same quantity OF water.
Then I put it in common glass atom
izer and spray it around the rooms
wherever flies are apt to congregate,
especially in the dining-,oom, where
I sprinkle it plentifully over the table
linen. TIE odor is especially dis.
agreeable to flies, and they will never
venture in its neighborhood, though b
to most people it has peculiarly fresh
and grateful smell. !"
ri shall certainly give it trial, y

Quite Possible,

A physician had, as presiding ge-
MUS in his culinary department, Ne
gro woman of social disposition, but
of somewhat .irascible temper. One
night youthful admirer, who was ac-
customed to make frequent evening
calls upon the ebony Maria in her
kitchen, prolonged his visit to tire
some length. After Maria had worn
out every topic Of conversation Of
which she was mistress, she essayed
to give him gentle hint as to her
mental and physical WEAKNESS by a
prodigious yawn.
Through some miscalculation as to
the stretching capacity of her mouth,
however, she dislocated her jaw in the
process.
The doctor was hastily summoned
from above stairs by the distracted
youth, who stood dihidently in the
background while Maria's jaw was put
into working order again.
The first use she made Of her recov-
cred power of speech was to turn
wrathfully upon the trembling visitor,
and say, in tone Of withering
scorn:
"P'raps de mex time yo' goes call.
in, and stays and stays till de lady
gapes and sufnocates her jaws, yell
take il fer hint dat it's bout time to
be a gHine home.

by an unusual obstacle-a herd of
wild elephants. The beasts would not
stir from the rails, disdaining to be

IN THE HAREM.
Why Slaves Make Good Wives for
the Young Turks.


the Young Turks.
For the service of the harem, as at
present constituted, slaves are in
dispensable, it being unlawful for a
free Moslem woman to appear un-
yelled before any man not q near
relative, while to slave, who is the
property of her master or mistress,
no such restriction attaches so far
as they are concerned, says
Nineteenth Century. Since the
abolition of the public slave market
the private trade in slaves has be-
come much more general and widely
spread than it formerly was and is
carried on to a great extent by
ladies of rank, some Of whom are
themselves emancipated slaves.
In addition to the negresses and
other women of unattractive exterior
to whom the menial duties of the
household are assigned these lady
dealers pay large sums for pretty
children OF from six to ten years of
age, who are carefully trained for
the higher positions they will
probably be called upon to occupy.
Many Turks prefer, for various
reasons, to marry women who have
been brought up as slaves. Marriage
with free woman Is, indeed, a very
expensive matter for young bride
groom and his parents, owing to
the lavish outlay in presents and
entertainments required by custom
on such occasions. Consequently if
o father cannot afford to marry his
son to a maiden of his own rank he
purchases for him q slave girl who
has been educated in some great
lady's harem and no expense is
incurred beyond the purchase money.
A slave, having no position of her
own, is submissive and obedient to
and anxious to please her lord and
master, has no troublesome preten-
sions or caprices or no interfering
relatives to take her part against
him. A free woman, on the other
hand. is by no means always dis
posed to have, according to her own
expression, neither mouth nor
tongue" She is fully aware of her
rights and inclined to assert them,
and the moral support afforded by
her family gives her an assurance
which the husband often finds ex-
tremelv inconvenient.

Crisp's Frank Confession.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Ex-Speaker
Crisp, who is here on his way to Ashe.
Vile, N. c., for two weeks stay at
Battery Park, stated very frankly tonight
to your correspondent that he does not
know of any man of prominence In the
Democratic party who is candidate for
the Presidential nomination in 1896. He
mentioned the names OF Cleveland, Ste
venson, Morrison and several others who
have been spoken Of in connection with
the Democratic nomination. but be does
not believe that any living man can pick
out at this time the next nominee of the
Democratic party. While he was IN New
York yesterday, having arrived there by
steamer from Savannah, he met number
of prominent Democrats from various
parts of the country and naturally the
question of politics was discussed in an
informal way. Several other gentlemen
with whom he talked said they believed
Mr.. Cleveland would be candidate for
reelection and endeavor to break the
third-term record. Mr.. Crisp says he
does not believe Mr.. Cleveland will do
anything of the kind. The sentiment of
the American people ia opposed to the
third.term idea, and Mr.. Cleveland is
probably aware of that fact.
Continuing, Mr.. Crisp said he is not
giving much attention to State politics
lust now, because this Is an off year in
Georgia, and there will not be an election
in that State until next year. The people
of Georgia are talking among themselves
on the financial question just the same as
is being done in other States. They are
naturally interested in the great question
of business prosperity. Many of them
contend that free silver will give them
better prices for their products than they
are able to obtain under the present gold
standard. So far as he is individually
concerned, he admits that he is not able
to solve the financial problem, which has
puzzled all the great fnanciers of the
world. In Georgia, as in other Southern
States. the people are not committed
irrevocably to either gold or silver.
They are struggling to get along to the
best of their ability and provide for their
families Just as the men of the North and
West are doing. The great experts of
Europe and the United States differ as
to the best means of settling this question,
and the indications are that the people
themselves propose to try their hand at
1t during the next national campaign.
at best, Mr.. Crisp contends, the 6nan-
cial question is one ofexperiment, as has
been shown by all of the financial legis-
lation that has been enacted during the
past twenty-f fve years. The Bland-Alli-
son Act did not accomplish what its
sponsors claimed for it, neither did the
Sherman law bring the relief that was
expected. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Crisp says it would be idle for him
to pose as great 6nauci prophet, when
men who have devoted their lives to
studying that subject are unable to agree
as to The best method of bringing back to
this country the prosperity it once enjoy
