OUR OBLIGATIONS

year for which we have received gold.

bonds issued in 1877. Shall the payment
of these obligations in gold be repu-
dated? If they are to be paid in such
manner as the preservation of our ma
tional honor and solvency demands. we
should not destroy, or even imperil. our
ability to supply ourselves with gold for
that purpose. While l am not unfriend-
ly to silver, and while l desire to see it
recognized to such an extent as consist
ent with financial safety and preserVa-
ton of the national honor and credit l
am not willing to see gold entirely ban
ished from our currency and finances.
To avert such consequences i believe
thorough and radical remedial legisla-
ton should be promptly passed. there

CLEVELAND'S SCHEME
In my opinion, the secretary of the
treasury should be authorized to issue
bonds of the government for the pur-
pose of procuring and maintaining a
sufficient gold reserve, and for the re-
demptiOn and cancellation of United
States legal tender notes and treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver.

ing process of issuing bonds to procure

drawn on these obligations for purposes
not related to the benefit of our govern
ment or our people. The principal and
interest of these bonds should be paya-
bic on their face in gold, because there
would now probably be a difficulty of
favorably dispOsing of bonds not con-
tanning this stipulation. / suggest that
the bonds be issued in denominations of
500 and $50 and their multiples. and that

see why they should not be payable for
80 years from their date. We of the
present generation have large amounts
to pay if we meet our obligations. and
long bonds are most saleable.

well be permitted at his discretion to re-

Napoleon's Use of Etiquette.

The uses Of rigid etiquette were well
understood by Bonaparte. He appre-
ciated the dazzling power of economy,
the fascination of condescension, and
the mastery Of woman in the conduct
Of affairs. All such influences he law
ished with a profusion which could
have been conceived only by an ORR
entail Imagination. AS If to overpower
the senses by an impressive contrast,
and symbolic the triumph Of that dom
inant third estate Of which he claimed
to be the champion against aristocrats,
princes, kings and emperors, the sim
plicity of the Revolution was persona
fed and emphasized in his own form.
His ostentatious frugality, his disdain
for dress, his contempt for personal
wealth and its outward signs, were all
heightened by the setting which inclos-
ed them, as frame of brilliants often
heightens the character in the portrait
Of homely face.-Century.

Food Makes the Man.

Food is force. AS a rule, few people
know how to eat. They fail to realize
that the quality of I'll mental action
is determined by the quality of food.
Lack of energy and buoyancy of spirit
is often as fatal to good work as Is ill
ness itself, and there is no question but
that hygienic cooking produces direct
ly the one or the other. There Is such
a thing as "a cooking menu"-the scien-
tific solving of the problem. The uni
versal temperance reform will begin
when good cooking becomes the rule
rather than the exception in every
household. The extra elaboration of
pastry should give way to excellence In
the preparation Of simple foods, Of
steak perfectly broiled, good bread, a
realization Of the value OF fruit, and of
tea and coffee made in way that re-
tains their flavor and stimulus. With
hygienic food, reasonably early hours
of sleep, and an intimate acquaintance
with fresh air, clearness and vigor of
mind can be constantly had that will
act on affairs with successful energy

HoMINo PIGEON SERVICE.

Might Prove of Inestimable Value to
Vessels on the Gre It Lakes.
EVERY steamboat that leaves Toledo
for Buffalo or an upper lake port" said
a vessel man to reporter for the To-
ledo Blade, SHOULD have homing pig
cons aboard. Some time ago l was In
formed that Otto l.. Kuehn, Of Mil
waukee. the homing pigeon fancier who
took first prize for speedy birds at the
Worlds Fair, has interested himself
In an endeavor to get the United States
Government, as well as lake men, to
adopt the homing pigeon service.
Think of the satisfaction it would
be II the cause of the disaster to the
Dean Richmond was known, and where
the boat was when she went down? If
1t were known where she sank some Of
the bodies Of those lost might be found,
as the search would certainly result in
finding the hull of the Richmond. AS
1t Is, 1t Is impossible to tell within three
or four miles of where the boat sank.
How willingly, even with death staring
them in the face. would Captain Stod-
dard or any Of the brave fellows, had
there been hOming pigeons aboard,
have written note to be conveyed by
n pigeon that would have told of the
awful disaster. These pretty birds
would be cared for by the men on the
boat with pleasure. as they become
great pets.
II hope something will be done to
Introduce homing pigeons on steam
ships as well as sail vessels. The Gov
eminent is doing good work in locat-
ing dangerous rocks and shoals, fitting
up lighthouses. etc., and 1t would be
gratifying to me to know that 1t had
added to other things the services of
hommg pigeons. One Of these pigeons
might be the means, when n vessel is
in distress, of paving the way to the
saving of many lives, for vessel in n
leaking condition might be kept from
sinking until aid came"

story:

ton he prevailed upon one of the other
girls to take a peep through the cam

What she saw quite astonished her,

the posers the fact that she had seen
them all standing on their heads.
The effect was ludicrous.

clutching her skirts about her knees,
while look Of great distress appeared

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
IT COMES UP BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES COURT.

A Suit for an Estoppel-The Eureka
Chemical Company, of La Crosse,
Makes the Trouble.
Papers have been filed In the United
States Court of the Western District
of Wisconsin, by Tarrant & Kronshage,
attorneys for the Sterling Remedy Com
pany, of Chicago and New York, in q
suit for estoppel and damages against
an imitation of Motto bac. the tobacco
habit cure. The action is brought against
a concern called the Eureka Chemical
Company, of La Crosse, Wis.
The principles involved in these pro-
ceedings are of the utmost Importance
to the proprietary interests of America
in general, and form in many respects, a
test case. the outcome Of which will be
carefully watched by the many other
important manufacturing concerns SINH
larry initiated. Not only the question of
imitation of name. trademark, form of
preparation and package enter into the
case, but also the proposition whether the
actual advertising literature used in es-
tablishing the publicity of a preparation
can be stolen with impunity, word for
word, by an imitator. The decision in
this case will settle one Of the vital
points In United States trademark and
