A Court Decides That Dogs Cry.

Does dog cry? This knotty ques-
tion has occupied one of the civil courts
under these circumstances: A certain
gentleman rented handsome set of
rooms, and the lease con tanned clause
interdicting the tenant from keeping
animals which cry. It happened that
friend sent the gentleman two little
dogs from Mexico. The arrival of the
animals led to notice being served on
their owner for breach of the terms of
the lease, and the matter had to be
settled by legal argument. The de-
fendant insisted that Pipo and Pipa,
as his dogs were called, weighed only
twelve ounces apiece, and their bark
was correspondingly diminutive; but
counsel for the plaintiff contended that
dwarfs were known to be bad tenn
pered, and very small dogs were no ex-
ception, and were inclined to be quar-
relsome and noisy. In ordinary Ian
guage, their whimpering might be
called crying, The court took the
same view, and Pipo aud Pipa had to
find another home in twenty-four
hours, or subject their master to pen
atty of five francs for each days delay

FROM GREAT GROVER
Where Senafor LINDSAY Receiued In
spiration for His Gold Flop.
That Gentleman Wants to he Placed
on the Supreme Bench OF the
United states. and He Will
Undoubtedly be Appointed.

Une hears here III this qualnr, dusty
little capital city of Kentucky about rs
much gold as silver talk 1t was not al
ways thus. Senator Lindsay lives here,
and until he was called to Washington
at the inception of the campaign, us
long ago as last April, and sat at the
feet of great Grover while the president
poured into his eager ears the song of
the single money standard, it was hard
TO find believer in that doctrine among
the politicians and officeholders who
comprise the bulk of the towns popula-
tion. On his return from Washington
Senator Lindsay began to talk the beau
ties Of the Cleveland scheme Of finance
on every street corner, and being man
Of commanding influence, and with
prospective patronage to dispense, he
found his PROSECUTING task not altogeth-
er hard
1t is true that not so many years ago
he was an inflationist of the most radi-
cal type, but when John g. Carlisle set
the fashion of sudden conversion to the
Cleveland monetary religion, without
giving satisfactory reasons for the new
found faith, Senator Lindsay flop caus-
ed no startling surprise. In fact, it was
accepted as natural and easy when re-
ports commenced to come from Wash
ington that the president was very fa-
vorably impressed with the big senator S
fitness for place on the supreme bench
Of the United States. That was before
the late Justice Howell E. jackson had
died and while the talk was rife of re-
firing him on account of his rapidly de-
clining health. Now that he has passed
away and left vacancy i'll the court the
gossip Of Senator Lindsay for the place
has been revived with renewed interest.
And it may or may not be mere acci-
dent that the oftener the senator makes
a gold speech, while his colleague, SEN
ator Blackburn, is struggling manfully
for reelection and to hold the party to
the principles Of it's founders, the more
confident grows the talk of Lindsay for

Science Of Modern Medicine.

Of all the benefits science has con-
ferred upon mankind, there is nothing
more important than the part that it
has played in the study of medicine.
With it's help medicine has become
elevated from a superstition to one Of
the grandest pursuits within the range
of human intelligence. Through the
instrumentality of science, improve
ments, discoveries and benefits untold
have resulted, even though as yet
many branches of it arc still in the
stage of the nerest infancy. A propo-
sition has been made of late to com
bine with the hospital practice Of stu
dents thorough course of scientific
training on medical lines. The micro
scope and chemistry arc the doctor S
strongest allies With a thorough
understanding of these two agents
added to mis- ordinary medical knowl-
edge, the physician of the future will
be able to cope with difficulties which
have heretofore been thought insur-
lnountable. There is at present a
movement going OH the object of which
is to extend the course of study for
students of medicine and to comprc-
}end in them more than is now in
cluded. A higher standard is also to
be demanded-higher in every respect.
It certainly should go without saying
that physician should be Of the most
exalted moral character and the
highest grade of intelligence. Ig-
norance or imposition in this direction
ought to be punished with the utmost
severity.-N. Y. Ledger.

AN EQUITABLE RATIO
A SoJkhern Bankers Organ Found
10 Be Far Behind the Times.
The Ratio of Nearly Sixteen of Silver
to One of Gold Maintained From
1893 10 1873, Until the White
Metal Was Demonetized.

The Savannah News has number OF
questions to ask on the financial issue,
Of which the following is a sample one ::
What makes The Times Democrat think the
low price of silver is due to the closing of the
nlints? If it can show that what it says is
true, it will render the world great service.
Is it not fact that the ,nints closed to sill
yer because Of the low and constantly huctu-
ating price of that metal? According to the
figures it prints, the ratio Of gold to silver dur
ing 1,200 years of the Roman empire was IL to
l. The price of silver, therefore, was much
higher then than it is now, and why? Simply
because silver was scarcer in comparison with
gold. If The Times Democrat will look into
the question a little more carefully, it will find
that the present low price of silver is due to
the enormous production of that metal. And
what makes The Times Democrat think that
if the mints were opened to silver the COM
mercial ratio of silver to gold would become
l6 to /? Was that ever the commercial ratio for
any considerable p riod? If so, what period:
Was itnot because ot the impossibility Of keep.
ing both gold and silver in circulation at that
ratio that the mints We're closed to silver?

since been settled, and we do not feel
inclined to go over again these first prin-

the time of Rome to learn finance, as it
proposes to do. "".".@
What The Times-Democrat says about
preserving the ratio Of gold and silver
is borne out by any table showing the
actual ratio between the two metals. Be
tween 1888 and the time the silver dol
lar was demonetized the fuctuation was
SO slight as to be almost inappreciable.
The ratio i'll 1888 was 15.9 SO to 1; in
1843, 1898 to / y; in 1878, Is. 80 to j.
The enormous production of silver
which occurred after the discovery Of
America did not in the least tend to
change the ratio any more than the
enormous discoveries Of gold in Cali
fornia and Australia in the fifties AS
long as France and the United States
maintained ratio for the free coinage
Of silver the fluctuations were not suf-
fcient to do any harm. 1t was after the
mints were closed that silver declined
and the ratio fuctuated. But why does

Plenty of Good Prunes and
Grapes, However.

"'Dead sea fruitn That's what I
call it'' exclaimed a gentleman, who,
after attempting to eat one of the
largest and most beautiful specimens
of California peaches ever seen in Full
ton market, threw IL away in disgust.
And he was right; for, while it was an
object to delight the eye, with it's great
size, perfect shape, delicate bloom and
superb coloring, it's favor was decid-
edly vegetable. SO New Workers Of
experience in such things buy Cali

with the dessert as the crowning orna-
ments of a perfect dinner, but lay in a

The largest prune orchard in this
country, if not in the world, is located
at Los Gatos (the CATS, on the western
edge of the Santa Clara valley. 1t
contains three hundred and eighty
acres of trees two hundred of which
are planted to the acre Over one han
dred men and score of teams are con
stantly employed in this great orchard,
which has its own wutcrwor1s and

is twenty acres IN extent, aud it yields
a net income of something like fifty
thousand dollars a year.
Near this Los Gatos orchard is
curious factory. said to be the only one
of its kind 10 the world 1t is fac
tory for the making of grape food, and
it is devoted to the extracting and
concentrating, but not fermenting. of
grape juice. During the season it con-
sumes fifty tons of grapes every day,
and produces one hundred thousand
gallons of juice, concentrat ted to one
fourth of it's original bulk.
The grapes used in such enormous
quantities in this interesting factory,
both red and white. are wine grapes,
which, as the tourist observer soon
discovers, are very different from
ralsln grapes, the former containing
the more juice, and the latter the more
saccharlne matter. One of the sur
prlsing things about raisin vineyard
is the small size of it's vines, which, be-
ing cut every year, are rarely more
than two or three feet high, and the
great size of the punches. These,
when fully ripe, are cutand laid in shall
low trays between the rows of vines,
where, without the addition of any
sugar, they are allowed to dry in the
sun until they become raislns. which
is all there is to the process
The most surprising thing of all is
the discovery that all raisin grapes are
white grapes, until they are turned
purple in drying, which is hard to re-
