The value of Credit.

know in this city a southerner who has
made his way from nothing to a comfort
able fortune, says writer in the New
YORK World. He was a broker in Wall
street, plodding slowly along, living from
hand to mouth, with a bank account that
sometimes grew as big as $500 He met a
capitalist who wanted certain bonds, and,
with commission of s., 500 in view, he UNI
dertoOk to deliver them. He knew an old
pose was TO get them without causing a
sudden rise in their market value. The
old fellow named his price, which was en-
tirely satisfactory. The amount was So coo
for the lot. My friend went to his CGfice,
drew check for that sum and handed it
over.
Perhaps you know that 1t is customary
in transactions of this kind to give a cerd-
fled Check said the bondholder.
This was a stunning blow, almost a
of never more than $500. but my friend.
begging the old fellows pardon for the
oversight, started TO get the proper GER
ttication. lie went straight to the cashier
of his bank and stated the whole case to
him, explaining that he was to deliver the
bonds within two hours and make profit
of 1880
1T is an unusual request" the cashier
said, with a smile of half pity for the ig-
norance of his customer.
Il know 1t, said the broker, but can

The cashier hesltsted. He who hesitates
is lost He looked the broker straight in
the eye and said:
II will do 1t. / know you are an honest
man"
With a certified check for 5000, the
southerner returned for the bonds, much to
the amazement of the old bondholder who
declared that If he had known his ability
to produce a certified check for that
amount he would never have offered the
bonds at all. He offered them as a bluff.
But the bluff being called he had to yield
Inside of an hour and a half the bonds
were delivered to the capatilist. and a
check for $27, 800 was deposited al the bank
My friend has had many transactions
with the old bondholder since then. and
he never fails to ask, do you want a
certified check?" to which the reply is,

CarboIixed ROsevvater.

The anti-kss, scientific crank again
comes to the front In this instance he is
DR.. Riley. pathologist, baeteriologist. geol-
member of the bureau of health of Chi
cago. A news dispatch from that city a
few days ago contained this: There were
1882 deaths in Chicago during the month
of July, according to the bureau of public
health. With the monthly report was this
advice: Do not let others kiss you indis-
criminately, and never without first wip-
ing your lips with carbolized rose-water
and thoroughly drying them" The ad-
vice was written by Dr. Riley. who says
he has made a study for years of the wi
cious, intolerable, barbaric and vile hab-
it, of kissing. Being embodied in an Of
fetal paper of the health authorities, Dr.
Riley's advice must be given some atten-
ton, at least in Chicago.
This world is full of people who believe
that the most dangerous malady that fol-
lows the immense majority of exchanges
of bacilli through the average labial sa-
lutte is more or less serious, but seldom
deadly case of love-sickness. That has
undoubtedly been the way of it from time
immemorial, Notwithstanding Dr. Riley
says he knows of an instance in which an
Illinois preacher increased the death rate
% per cent. by habitually kissing half of
the members of his flock after each SER
vice. The bacilli that the preacher dis
tributed with his kisses were those of con-
sumption, while those that go with the
average kiss as exchanged between the
young people of the opposite sexes-and
they are the people who swap the most
kisses-are the bacini of affection.
The learned DOCTORS carbolized rose
water suggestion will hardly be accepted
and followed, even in Chicago, where they
sometimes do very queer things. No young
woman would desire to be compelled to
carbolized rose-water-and there is no
other way to be sure of having 1t at hand
when wanted. AS the Texan said of his
revolver, there is no telling precisely when
it would be needed, and needed badly. II

lively embarrassing. for the summer girl
to have 10 hold chappie away until she

Chappie might change his mind in the
meantime; but n he should not, how could
she indicate to him that the steriiizing

False i'm Its Premises.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.l.

The convention of silver men in Wash
ington, whose avowed purpose is to COM
NIT the Democratic party to the free coin
age of silver, was not of such representa-
tive character as to deserve all the notice
1t has received. With the exception of the
silver senators, no one of national reputa-
ton attended 1t. Whatever influence it
might have had If the members had pre-
scented their case fairly has been lost by
the adoption of manifesto which is false
in its premises, and-owing to the cam
paign of education-known to be false by
every reader of current literature. The at
tempt to represent silver as the adopted
unit OF value to which gold was to be made
70 conform must fail with every one who
has read any of Jefferson's writings on
the subject. More unblsshingly false, how
ever, Is the statement that the act Of
1873 demonetizng silver was surreptitious-
~ passed. when. in fact, 1t was discussed
IN two congresses, and made the subject
or several reports by government officials
before any action was taken upon II. But
there Is not a line OF the silver mems
manifesto that cannot be cOnfroVerted.
ana Il Is issued now TO people who have
been thoroughly Informed on the subject.

accomplished much more easily by the
