A Friends Advice.

Some four or five years ago j. 4. Good
year, young man full of life aud vlg0r, left
the old farm in Calhoun county for the more
active life Ia the city. Drifting into the tel
egraph business, he secured a position on the
q. IL y. W. railroad, at Republic, Mich. In
addition to his duties as operator he was re-
CURED TO sell tickets, check baggage and
make himself generally useful. Between the
exacting officials on the one side and the in
consistent public on the other he was worked
and worried to such an extent that his health
gave out. and one day ne was carried 10 his
home after having severe nervous spasm
de grew from bad TO worse until he had to
relinqui7h his position, ply seal wreck
The doctor could not cure him and told
him so but advised him to 90 to Ann Arbor
and place himself IL charge of that world
wide institution of learning, which ne did
he continued with their treatment constant
ly and faithfully for four long years, receiv-
ing little, II any, benefit. While in this con
dltion friend gave him a bottle of Dr.
Nheeler'S Nerve NltalIZer with an urgent
request 10 use it, Not wishing to offend his
friend he promised to do 30 but did not, be
cause, rs he argned with himself, "What l.
the Use OF taking that stuff If the most
learned nerve specialists IN the world can not
cure me- But as time passed he would oc-
casionally think of the neglected bottle OF
medicine given him and his promise 10 use
1t. one day he picked II up and mt chanic-
ally pulled the cork, measured out a dose
and took IT, A change seemed to come over
him: his nervousness abated, his mind be-
came clear, and he thought he felt some
thing Of his old time vigor. He continued
taking the Nitalizer until he was able to sit
NJ, then TO walk a few steps. The sluggish
blooS in his veins became active color re-
turned to his flesh and he felt the need of
more food. He soon improved so that he
sought aud became engaged in light labor,
and earned the first dollar in nearly two
years. Hope attained Its long vacated po-
sition in his brain, and his friends rejoiced
al the wonderful change. Mr. Goodyear Is
now leading a thoroughly active and sue
cessful life. which he says he is proud to at
tribute to DR.. Wheeler's Nerve Nitalizer, the
greatest nerve builder ever produced for
nervous prostration, -pasms, fits, seepess-
ness. mental depression, exhausted vitality,
dependency, sexual aud general debility.

RELATIVE PRODUCTION OF SILVER
AND GOLD.

There is still a great deal Of misap-
prehension as to silver and gold pro-
duction. Though the tables have often
been published, advocates OF mono
metallsm still continue to assert that
gold is the more stable in value because
of its being more constant and uniform
in production. The cause of recent de-
cline in silver has been attributed to
the vast overproduction in recent years.
1t is true that the production Of both
gold and silver has been wonderfully
increased during the last half century
But the table given below shows that
the tluctuation in the production Of
gold far exceeds that of silver

1860 TO 1892, a period of 30 years, in
which silver increased IN production Il
little more than live times, more ac-
curately % times. Comparing the
greatest lluctuation of gold with the
greatest known iluctuation OF silver in
modern times. we find that gold has
fuctuated 81 times as much a. silver.
But IN all the years from 1920 to
1860, Notwithstanding the fact that the
production OF gold was increased Is
times and more, the free coinage OF
both gold aud silver by the minis OF
France preserved the parity OF the two
metals at ID! to /, with Variation in
market value from that ratio of less
than one per cent. But from 1870 to
1892, when silver increased in produc-
ton only about one-eIShth a, fast as
did gold in the period mentioned, silver
has declined TO oue-half It's former value
and less.
Where is the man 50 simple that he
cannot see the logic Of these facts; 1t
must be idiocy or the blindness Of self
interest that will induce man to say
in the face of these facts that the de-
cline of silver is caused by increased
production, Consider, once, the logic:
Though gold increased / 5 fold in the
one period, it did not decline as to
value measured by silver: vet because
IN a later period silver increased in
output two and four-tenths times, it
has declined to half its former price
when measured by gold.
DO like causes produce like effects;
Or, indeed, is there "A new set of logical
axioms specially adapted to the minds
of monometallisls; The men who
promulgate such a theory for the de.
cline of silver in the face of these facts
are mentally incapactated, or of such
an ethical code that to convert them
you must hold a club over their heads.

LESS than two years since no nam,
in the entire west was oftener writer
and spoken than that of Davis II
Waite, the populist governor of Colo.
rado. Now one never hears it save a.
a dim and distant reminiscence. There
is a logical reason for all this. Waite
went to the front at the bidding of {
craze. The people of Colorado had
been frenZied by the utter oblitera-
tion of their silver mining industries
and in their distress were ready to
turn in any direction for relief. This
was promised by the nihilistic old
man and they took him up on his
promises and made MIN governor. The
logical result followed. One good eff.
feet, however, was produced, Colorado
has had surfeit of that sort of hum
bug and Waite's grave is both deep
and voiceless. There will be no more
Waites In her history.

The Mysterious Individual Who staked
Count Boniface and Caught On.

The Mysterious Individual Who staked
Count Boniface and Caught On.
Here is the first explanation of g
hitherto inexplicable circumstance of the
9ould-Castellane marriages:
Among the guests at that most adver.
tised of American marriages was a man,
newly rich, not distinguished for ele.
gance Of manner, breadth of education
or for anything save an inordinate and
abnormal itch to get into society," and
monumental cheek in furthering an
ambition not uncommon to people of
his antecedents.
But he was there, and all the -Four
Hundred looked on and wondered, es-
peoially those that We're not invited
1t turns out now that this hearty old
buck of humble origin, small beginnings
and unbounded aspirations got his invi-
tation to the wedding through Count
Boniface de Castellane, the bridegroom.
As everybody knows, Count Boniface
had very little money prior to his mar
riage with the American heiress.
He was forced to borrow.
He was short of collateral or other
material security, but his social position
was valuable in the eyes of the man to
whom l have referred.
The latter came to the counts assist
snce and Endorsed his notes to the
amount of $500, 900, l am told, and
thereafter was the counts bosom friend.
Wherever the Count Castellane was,
there was "the little joker" and of
course he got an invitation to the we'd
ding, and of course he went.
You can bet that this particular ex.
ample of the newly rich never misses a
trick in his social game.
And such is the complex and hetero-
geneous character of our social fabric
that, i'll spite of certain drawbacks, like
the insect without wings, he will get
there just the same.
have not mentioned by name this
charming friend Of the noble Count de
Castellane, but for an appropriate cog
I'll dub him Telemaque- -Cholly
