The Unit of Value.

Hon l. F. Prince, for years governor and chief justice of New Mexico. IS in New York city. In an interview he said : "A couple of months ago there was a great discussion in Chicago as to what was the unit of value under the original coinage act of l792, which embodied the views of Washington, Hamilton and Jef. ferson. They made large bets on the subject, some coniending that the unit was in silver and some in gold, and final. ly the matter was referred at one of the clubs to Judge Vincent, who rendered a decision which was no sooner made than it WAS controverted. The joke Is this :: that people of Chicago never looked at the com itself to see aheiher T snid any thing on the subject.
 Now, here," said the Governor, talk ing out of his pocke, two finely preserved specimens oi our early coinage, "here are two silver dollars-one of l795 ard one of 1902. On the obyerse oi each is the word Liberty and the date; on The reverse, United States of America Now look at the edge where ,he milling is placed on more modern coins. What do you see 2 One Dollar or UnIt. Hundred Gents
 'If the Chicago brethren had only thought of going 10 the coin itself Ms d witness they would have seen in mo- ment that the silver dollar was ihe unit by this direct statement i'm printed in It's very substance. You know inc silver dollar never varied in ~eight in ihe United States from the foundation of the government 10 ihe characterization in 1873, when 1t was worth sl.03 in gold dollars. When ths change in ratio was made in 1884 it was the gold coin that was altsrated, not the silver dollar. Tue latter wss always the inn utable standard of value till struck dosn by the lnonopo. lists who desired dishonest, constantly increasing single standard, in 1873. When the unit question comes np Sgsin, jus; remember to look al the coin it. self."

WEAK NERVES

Indicate as surely as any physical symp-
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues of the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in a state of re-
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable explana-
ton of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla Read the next column.

Arthur Curzon, soothed by these
feminine batteries, asked himself
what scheme his cousin might be ma
turing in her brain, on his own be-
half, with sentiment of awakening
curiosity, as his glance followed the
movements of the stout and handsome
matron with the smooth black hair,
clear complexion, and tranquil gray
eyes. Mrs. Griffith was an inveterate
matchmaker. No doubt she had a
bride ready for him. Who, then?
Miss Ethel Symthe, of course. Did he
not know feminine tactics?
The young man was expansive in re-
sponsive greetings to the Ancient
Mariner, otherwise Capt. John Filling

slave trade; or cruising off the Mos
