The First Wills.

Wills were at first oral, as were also
gifts of lands, and were only morally
binding on the survivors, Origen and
other fathers of the early church cred
tied Noah with having made will,
and in the fourth century the bishop
of Brescia declared all those heretical
who denied Noah's division of the
world to his three sons by will. The
eldest known wills are those OF Egypt,
Both oral and written wills not infre-
quently contained imprecations on
those who should neglect them, The
earliest written will in existence is
that of Sennacherib, which was found
in the Royal library of Konyunjik.
There is great sameness about our
own royal wills They mainly relate
to beds, bedding, clothes, personal Or
naments gold and silver cups, and
payments for masses, and are generally
as prosaie as enc could contrive. -

refinement In Serving Food,

The use of pretty and suitable dishes,
clean table linen, and food that should
be hot-hot in reality-and cold food
in the proper condition-may have
much to do in making persons content
ed, even delighted, says a bachelor
who has passed his life in boarding,
The idea that seems to prevail at many
hotels and clearinghouse and in some
private families is that people like a
great variety of food at one meal, when
in reality dissatisfaction usually comes
from the fact that in the midst of plen-
ty it is impossible, perhaps, to select
one dish that is perfectly prepared and
served. A broiled chop, slice of
bread or a roll, and cup of coffee,
each perfect of its kind, may delight
the palate of gourmet if the linen is
dainty and the china and silver pretty
and bright.-N Y, Post.

by every means in its power to make
its influence felt.
The people need not be told how the
campaign of the money power will be
carried on. The powerful banks OF the
east will take measures to show the
banks Of the west and the south how
It will be to their advantage to infiu'
ence business men who depend on them
for accommodations. 1t is hoped In
this way to work up considerable senti-
ment in behalf of the single gold stand
ard.
The same influence was brought to
bear by the United States bank and Its
branches when the people, led by An
drew jackson, grew tired of It's DONNA
ton. The bank was active and power
full. 1t employed precisely the same
tactics as the Bankers association pro
poses to employ. To all appearances
it had the country at its feet But the
people rose up and throttled it, and its
vast influence disappeared as the mists
of night disappear before the morning
sun.
The United States bank had more
justification for entering upon a poll
tical campaign than the national banks
now have 1t was fighting for its ex'
istence, whereas the national banks
are now about to engage in an effort
to fasten upon the country an infa-
nous currency system which robs and
Expresses the people and does not add
particle to the permanent prosperity
of the banks themselves.
1t is certain that the national bank
ers do not understand the temper OF
the people at this time, II they did,
they would know that the only and
inevitable conclusion of such a cam
paigu as that which they now propose
is utterly obnoxious to the public
sentiment that controls political
parties,
We undertake, therefore, to say to
the national banks that if they enter
upon such campaign as the leading
spirits among them propose, they will
find themselves at the end of it fight
ing, not for the single gold standard,
but for their own existence. Atlanta

ALL ONE WAY.

Senator Harris Gives His Vlews-They
Have Silver Ring.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, was
caught up by correspondent at Mem
phis few weeks since and questioned
upon the all-absorbing topic of the
times-the silver question-and after
going into the subject in detail the
senator concluded the interview with
this unmistakable declaration:
"While l would be glad to have an
international agreement to utilize all
the gold and all the silver Of the world
at an agreed ratio, l am ready to estab-
fish financial system for the United
States which does recognize both met
ais and makes them legal tender
money for all purposes, and admits
them to the same rights of coinage.
In the beginning Of civilization silver
and gold were adopted as money met
ais, and were coined into money as a
medium of exchange and settlement
between man and man, Up to 1878
they held their respective places, as
the money metals of the world, but in
1873 the capitalistic influences not only
of the United States but of the com
mercial world decided to double the
purchasing power of their capital by
demonetiGipg one or the other of the
money metals, nc matter which, so
that demonetizing either would reduce
the volume or amount of legal tender
money one.half, which would double
the purchasing power Of every remain
ing dollar.
"Capital has leisure, capital has in
fuence, capital has power, but un-
fortunately capital has no conscience
Capital had silver demonetized when
4l9H grains of standard silver made
y legal tender silver dollar, which was
worth i4 the markets of the world three
cents more than a gold dollar COM
posed Of 5 grains Of standard gold,
and capital a4a IFS GcQQlh0Fts are now
rampant in urging the adoptiop Of the
gold standard and reducing everything
to that gold standard. This means
tbs bankruptcy of every man who is
in debt ard doubling the wealth of the
creditor. So fqy aS 7 am concerned, /
will oppose such 2 policy ~ the last
extEemity, and ! do not belieye it can
ever prevail in the American congress.
"BIt allow Rs TO suggest that in the
beginning Of civilization, gold and
silver were adopted as the standard
money of the world Now examine
the statistics since the beginning Of
civilization down to this day, and you
will End that the production of gold
and silver both has just about kept
pace with population. Demonetize
either and you will have inevitably
and necessarily per capita reduction
OF money, which means a reduction Of
price in ali things to be converted into
money.
"Silver must have It's place in the
policy Of this country, and the parties
of 1896 ray well look to it as an issue
that will not 5own, but must be heard

Meaas 4 win, Tails You Lose.

The new theory that it is incumbent
to pay debts only ip G9ld that are eX-
pressly payable in either gold Or silver
is simply the skillful humbuggeFy Of
the same class of Shylocks who bought
United States bonds in deprecated
paper money and insisted on their re-
lAe4ption only in gold. The gold
staRdarG is steadily approaching
standard aRe Aseessarily so because of
the utterly ipadeauqte quantity of
gold and the ever Increasing demand.
The creditor takes no ebance. IIis
debt is sure to become more valuable
with every year, and the debtor who
copLracts to pay in gold is playing
against q p9e-sided game in which he

The FAMILY slrrIna.RooM.
A Place Whore Family Ties Are Strength
ened.

| ened.
One of the good old institutions of
family life which has neasly disap-
peared from the modern home is the
family sitting-room. Nothing in the
modern small house takes the place or
fulflls its function, The small parlor
and reception hall must be kept in or
der for company. This is necessity
when there are young children. The
library is too small, and Is, BESIDES the
place where we want quietness Usu-
ally, also, it opens out of the parlor or
hall, and therefore h not the privacy
necessary TO the tn family sitting
room, In these day Of extreme indi-
vidualism every men Der of the family
wants room TO himself or herself,
which is, presumably, the reason why
our houses are cut up into so many lit
tie cubby holes of chambers. And so
there is no place kept for big, com
Portable, light, airy, roomy, sitting
room.
Yet did we regard things rightly we
would have sitting-room in our house
II we had to sacrifice the parlor. Not
that it could take the place of the par
lor for one of the first requisites to the
real family sitting-room is privacy to
family life and opportunity for free
dom. There must be the big table with
the lamp and the childrens school
books, toys and games, the newspaper,
and perchance the mothers mending
basket. There must be the comfortable
lounge on which the tired father or son
can stretch at ease and take little
evening nap lulled by the murmur of
family life around him. There must
be the easy chairs, not too fine to be
tilted back by the kind but unsophisti-
Gated relative from the country, whom,
of course we must admit to this fam
lily sanctum. Here especially must
the mother make her headquarters.
The mother is the heart of the home,
and she must be accessible to all her
family many hours of the day if the
heart-life of the home is to be kept
warm and glowing.
Around her the different members
of the family must center for the inter-
change of thought and news of each
others doings. 1t is truly lamentable
that in so many families brothers and
sisters, parents and children are al
almost entire strangers to each others
lives; and when they do meet have
very little of common interest to talk
about. The tendency is to the disinteg-
grafton of the home and the chilling
and decay of family affection. Moth
ing will remedy this like a return to
the good old custom and possession of
family sitting.room. Chicago Record.
