WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. D-An
silver coinage excepf that of Subsidiary
coinage has bean ordered suspended
after November lst next By SECRETARY
Carlisle.
In carrying out this policy tie New
Orleans mint viii be practically closed
and dismantled after that date and tn
70 employees furloaehed without pay.
Since Secretary Carlisle has been tie
head Of the Treasury Department only
1, 3oR, ~ standard silver dollars have
been minted. Since July 1st Last only
% Standard silver dollars have been
coined. The coinage Of standard silver
dollars during the past few years has
been = follows:
In 1895, g, 956, OIL in 1894. e75e; In
1888, o SO 900 IN 16o2, q, - 900; fn
1891, ~ ,000, 900. The total coinage Of
silver under an acts amounts TO e42o,-

which was e134, 0eO, ,333. The coming
value Of this bullion in silver dollars =
t177, ~, 100. II this bullion wers
coined into silver dollars the profit to
tie Government on it, coinage would be
nearly 81 900, 900, which sum could be
paid ont for the ordinary expenses Of
the Government, or against which silver
certificates could be issued. Under the
oct OF 1873 the Treasury holds Of bullion
purchased ooo5 45o IN value.
. The practical effect Of the action
taken By Secretary Carlisle h to convert
all the silver bullion held by the Gov
ernment into gold obligations under the
Secretary Windom In 1850 construed the
law to mean that all Sherman notes
issued against TIE bullion were redeem
able IN gold. This construction Of the
law was concurred In by his Successors.
Secretaries Foster and Carlisle. and has
been in practical operation during the
past six ycan- Under It e7S, 1913 527
have been redeemed.
The coinage Of silver bullion into
standard silver dollars operates to pre-
vent Sherman notes being issued upon
them. Silver certificates, however. are
isgued agningt standard silver dollars
and are redeemable only IN silver. Thus
sron H. H. zze base .As ss.vvee= hh=l.ie.
tie Sherman notes become gold oblig2-
tom and ths silver coined into standard
silver dollars and the silver certificates
iuued upon them become silver obliga-
ticns.
The s1spensjoa Of tie coinage Of
Standard diver dollars, therefore, leaves
ths bullion silver free from any further
Habilify of coaverzioa into silver obhga

The closing up Of the New Orleans
mint leaves Only the United States

The New Woman and the Old Man.

We have read with deep interest q
newspaper article on what Will the
New Woman do With the Old Man 2"
The writer is a new woman and pre-
sumably has an old man. But he is
everywhere, is useful in q fashion, has
sincere purposes, and means well. His
fate is OF ought to be a matter of con-
Germ to every one. The description
does not necessarily imply one who has
become gray and decrepit. He may be
in the purple bloom of life. 1t applies
not to his years, but to the order of his
ideas.
We learn that 1.-THE new m
wants-as either brother or husband
a man who can comprehend her aspi-
rations, can sympathize with her and
be a helpmeet to her in their attain
ment." But what are her aspirations?
Those limited at by the writer in no
essential particulars differ from those
of the old woman. Give the old man
a chance. Tell him precisely what
those aspirations are with which he
ought to sympatize. Many a time has
he been lectured for not understand.
ing what has never been explained to
him. He is confessedly a trife stupid.
All the more reason why his duty
should be made plain to him. As a
rule he will sympathize with anything
his better half names and think that
purchasing peacein the family cheaply.
Will the new woman please state her
aspirations fully and clearly?
But, to come to the question: There
is nothing left the new woman to do
but to ~renovate and repair the old man
convert him, if possible, into the
new man. There are many ways and
sorts of conversation. Reason, persua-
sion, strategy or ever compulsion."
Three of these methods of bringing the
old nan to terms have long been Used
with marked success. The fourth is
doubtful. 1t is said that she inclines
to pull back, like a mule" He does,
indeed, at times, and hen compulsion
is the worst of all ways of dealing with
him. W. hope the new woman will
not try that. What is to be done with
the old man in the event of the failure
of all these methods is left to the i'm
agination. What does the old man
think of it, anyhow ?-Pittsburg Dis
patch.

The Raw Food Craze.

There is a colony of people on the
western coast of this continent who do
not believe in cooking any of the food
products. They live on fruits, grains
and vegetables, using these in the raw
state. These people would seem to have
some grains of sense in favor of their
particular fad. We all know that most
fruits, excellent in variety and grown
to perfection, are much better raw
than cooked. Take the strawberry,
peach, pear and grape, as examples;
also the citric fruits; the fire DESTROYS
their delicious flavor, or at least greatly
impairs it. Some of the vegetables
nicely grown have also a finer flavor
raw than cooked, though after these
centuries of the cooking habit our pal
ates are hardly prepared to receive the
average vegetable raw.
The grains, some of them, at east.
have a sweetness of flavor before cook.
ing that seems to be lost by submitting
them to heat; though there is q great
difference in the n of cooking, as
well as the time that is given to it.
For example, oatmeal or almost any
other grain slightly cooked, is neither
sweet MOI palatable; but by continuing
the process under suitable conditions
the starchy matter is converted into
glucose, and sweetness results from the
long cooking or heating. The question
has likewise arisen whether the aver.
age stomach of civilized human beings
can digest raw starch we'll. Whether.
after these hundreds and thousands of
years, during which we have turned
more and more to the habit of cooking.
1t would not be an advantage to con-
vert these starch substances into GIN
cose before attempting to digest them.
There certainly are stomachs. a great
many OF them that do not TO
get perfect nutriment out of the raw
grains; neither could they digest per.
fectly The average vegetable uncooked.
AS to the fruits, some of the inferior
qualities of them can hardly be man
aged without cooking; this is particu.
larly true of those that are no. fully
ripe.
How the raw food advocates manage
to bridge over these difficulties do not
know; perhaps so ne one will rise and
explain. In the present state of soci
ETY., and with the imperfections that ex-
list in growing the food products, l think
we are hardly prepared to abandon, in
toto, the habit of eookiug.-From

Magazine for August.

The Cow and the Hen.

The wheat yield in Tennessee, ac-
cording to the census of 1895, was s.
300, 7S0 bushels. AT rs cents per bushel
this would have been worth So, 525, S61.
The yield of corn the same year was
SO, 1925 $50 bushels. The dairy product,
according to the same report, was 107,-
657,1 16 gallons of milk, 2S, 314, 317
pounds of butter and 1910 pounds Of
cheese.
Rating the butter at 90 cents per
pound, it was worth nearly as much as
the wheat crop, rated at rs cents per
bushel, to say nothing of the value of
the milk and cheese. Up to that time
little attention had been given to dairy
products, and they do not now amount
to half what they might.
In the same report will be found a
statement of the poultry product in
Tennessee, which shows that there
were 12, 062, 199 chickens and 1870, AS
other domestic fowls and that the yield
of eggs reached 3,172, 313 dozen. So
it will be seen that the hen and COW
are doing more to produce wealth and
make money in the State of Tennessee,
than is being accomplished in the
wheat fields, and still they have not
had half q chance.
Give both the hen and the COW a
chance. Let them multiply and re-
plenish. Let us have more than we
have and better ones. 1t costs about
the same to keep a poor COW as it does
to keep a good me-. Then treat them
decently. Give them clean barns and
clean houses for shelter when shelter
is required. Give them wholesome
food as much as they will make boun-
full returns. The COW and the hen will
be good friends to this section if the
people would let them. Give them a
good chance .-Knoxville Journal.
