The Silver Unit.

In the Forum for June is Il very read
able article by w. Ii. Harvey, the au-
thor of Coins Financial School,"
which is an argument for the silver
unit. The writer explains that in the
narrow limits of magazine article he
will only attempt to prove that the
fathers made silver dollars the unit of
our currency, and he appears to prove
his case. He quotes Thomas Jefferson,
who recommended to Congress that the
coins Of the United States should be:
Il. A golden piece equal in value to
$40;
''2. The unit, or dollar itself, of sill
yer;
SO. The tenth of q dollar, of silver
also;
Il. The hundredth of a dollar of
copper;
And that the money unit of these
States shall be equal in value to the
Spanish milled dollar"
He quotes Alexander Hamilton as
advising.
''One gold piece equal in weight to
10 units or dollars; one gold piece equal
to one-tenth of the former, which shall
be the unit or dollar; one silver piece
which shall also be n unit or dollar; one
silver piece which shall be in weight
and value tenth part of the silver
unit or dollar. AS all know the eagle,
half eagle, quarter eagle, dollar, ETC.,
were adopted, but section o, Of the law
of 1892, proves that the silver dollar
was accepted by Congress as the unit,
viz: Dollar or unit, each to be of the
value Of Spanish milled dollar as

Notes,

Potato beetles will lea:e potatoes to
attack egg plants. They seem to have
greater Partially for egg plants than
for anything else, though they will also
feast on tomato plants if potatoes are
not up and growing.
There may be overproduction in ev-
cry grade of farm stock excepting draft
horses, and these buyers are eagerly
hunting; there is top price for those
weighing 1,S00 or more; for the cities
must have them, and have them now.
If the tomatoes, early corn. beans and
melons have been touched by frost,
though not killed, take 10 chances but
replant without delay. Some of the
plants may grow, but they will be back
ward The later plants will overtake
them.
The best varieties OF plums are very
profitable, and fruit-growers are of the
unanimous opinion that the curculio
is n thing now not much to be dreaded;
where plums are planted in large guam
titles It's ravages are hardly felt. 1t is
the isola led tree which suffers.
Winter wheat is one of the hardest
of crops. and unless attacked by in
sects seldom fails to produce fairly

ceive attention on many farms and can

Never get the idea that any old hack

start the affected parts are easily dis
covered and should be cut out and

the cellar is dry and COOL that will an.
swer; but If it is damp and not properly
ventilated, it will cause the meat to
mold. A darkened room in the house
will suit admirably. Another good way
is to pack the meat in whole oats or in
coarse bran. Some pack in ashes, but
the ashes, unless very dry, are sure TO
give the meat very unpleasant taste.
Ashes are also usually very dirty.
Whatever plan is adopted, it should be
done at once. as the fly will soon blow
the exposed meat, and do a great
amount of damage in a short time.

look. The paper sacks can be had for

DELAYS in Transmitting,

1t often happens when plants have
been received that it is during wet
spell when it is impossible to get them
tranSplanted. 1t would be better of
course If the tranSplanting had been
done before the rain, but if the plants
or trees are heeled in and exposed to
the rain new set of roots will form
In three or four days, and the trans
planting can then be done with scarce
ly any check. The only difficulty will
probably be too great haste to get at
the work after the storm ceases. The
soil should not be worked while it is
sticky. Wait until the soil will crumble
when it is stirred. This Will keep the
soil moist and will also admit air to
the roots. which is quite as necessary
as is moisture to growth. If heavy
rains come after transpianting. the sur
face soil should be stirred to break the
crust that will form on it.

Sing a Song o. Silver.


They jingle in, they jingle out, from hand
TO hand e'er spinning,
The dollars that our daddies had pass as
in the beginning.
Across the counters, out and in, the people
hear them ringing,
And all the world is listening to hear the
song they're singing.
1t is a song of merriment, that sparkles
full of laughter,
Or Swallowed with the helplessness of Il
betrayed hereafter;
And is the stamp of Uncle Sam mask of
minstrel folly,
Through which troubled heart should
pour mad burlesquer's yolley?
The silver dollar of our dad was e'er a
faithful measure,
Oh. why ungratefully deprive it of it's
honest pleasure?
It jingles in. it jingles out, without q
thought of SHINING.
And lets the golden dollars win the tally
every inning.
The slvery song is good to hear, it lacks
the pompous boasting
OF idle gold, whose charms are told when
bankers clubs are toasting.
oh, let it jingle in and out, the music of
the nation.
And soon we'll hear the chorus jingling
back from all creation.

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS
The Business Has Grown to Grea. Pro-
portions in New York.


There is a peculiar industry in Goth
am which has grown to astonishing
proportions. This is the business Of
furnishing newspaper clippings to indi-
viduals, firms, and corporations. There
are half n dozen of these firms in New
York, which supply customers not only
In the United States, but in all parts
of the world. One of these newspaper
clipping bureaus received an order the
other day from the Hawaiian govern
ment to send President Dole all the no.
tees, editorials, cartoons and other
published matter regarding Hawaii,
its government, and its affairs. This is
one of the largest orders ever received
by clipping bureau, and it will re-
quire the labor of half a dozen bright
young women to Gull the clippings from
newspapers to fill this order. Every
prominent author, politician and pro-
fesSiOnal man is now a subscriber to
one or more of the clipping bureaus,
and busy man finds the system very
convenient, for he Is enabled, as 1t
were, to read his newspapers 10y proxy.
The manager of New York clipping
bureau. in speaking of the pecularities
of his business, said yesterday: Many
of our customers are folks with fads
