In 1916 England demonatized-
silver and has since then been a
single standard country. In
1884 the United States Ger
many and France follow her ex-
ample, practicle giving the world
a gold standard, so far as the
United States is concerned.
What has been the result! Is it
not a fact that property of all
kinds has deprecated constantly
under this system! That a dol
lar haJ greater purchasing power
now than at any time in the his
tory of the country unless it be in
panic times! Why is it that the
gold men claim that the free
coinage of silver would drive
what gold there is in the country
out when our commerce with
these gold standard countries
would bring more gold into the
country than they would draw
from us. which is proven by the
ia It that our exports are greater
than our imports.
If the United States had all the
gold coined in the world, she
would not be able to pay her in
terest in gold as fast as it accrues.
There are less than twO-hundred
million dollars in gold coined in,
the world each year. Foreign
bond holders hold bonds against
this country to the smount of five
billions of dollars which at the
low rate of four and One-half per
cent interest would make a yearly
accumulation of $212,5O0,000. It
appears that the purchasing pow
er of money has so increased that
great enterprises have been
scOoped up with but samblance
of cost; thus centralizing the
wealth of the country, into great
fortunes. 1t does seem that
there are two classes of people in
this country, the debtor class and
the creditor class, and that their
interests are antagonized that
what suits one, does not suit the
other. The creditor wants hi
money to buy all that it will, anC
the. debtor wants to pay with a,
small amount of his productions
as possible.
The Eastern Money King
wants "sound money! as he CALI
it, and at this time is spending hi
millions that he may carry hi

Dunley still hesitated, and it took sew

answer from him. At last no said medi-

married as it is to pay a flne.'

Shortly after they met, made up and were
again married. After another family

moved to Ohio. There they were again
married and divorce No was obtained
Another wedding was celebrated in Mich.

they got in the Divorce City. Again thev
decided to try married life. James was
doing pretty well in the coal business. but
not so well in wedlock, and divorce No 4
was in order. Then he repented, and again
seeking his first love succeeded in induc-

disagreed, and divorce No. was in order
Mrs. Dunley was sure that she would nav.

Phnadeiphia's First Book.

The first book of any kind published in
this city was Atkins Almanack" for the
year 1856. II was an unpaged pamphlet OF
10 leaves. only two copies of which are now
known to be in existence. The first copy
Of the "Almanack" printed was sent to
Colonel Markham. PENIS deputy. who ne
ported to the council that the book had err
roneously declared Pennsylvania to have
been founded by Lord Penn" The coun-
Gil disapproved such a high sounding title
and directed the author and printer (Wil-
liam Bradford) to forthwith and effectual-
~ blott out We words Lord Penn. This
had the effect of recalling the whole edition
and the abolition Of the obnoxious words.

People so fond of humor that the ri
diculous is of more Importance to them
than their welfare will be highly gratified
by the proposition of the railroad lines
east and west to run excursions to the
Worlds fair at one fare for the round
trip. The joke is as rich in quality as it
is large in quantity. Thirty hours is the
length of time mentioned as making the
trip from New York to Chicago. No
stop over checks will be allowed. No
sleeping cars will be provided, no parlor
cars, no chair cars. The jolly excursion
list. it is supposed, will sit bolt upright
in the redolent atmosphere which hangs
about the day coach as the result of a
long contact with tobacco, cold lunches,
decayed fruit and perspiration, and for
30 hours, with no opportunity to stop off
for sickness. will watch the changing
landscape with open and bloodshot eyes.
When he arrives at the Worlds fair, he
will be permitted to stay one week if he
is alive.
No provision is made for extending the
time to persons for whom the joys of the
excursion have been too poignant and
who may be required to spend two or
three weeks in the hospitals recovering
from the delirium of insomnia or the ty-
phoid fever which they have picked up
in the holiday coach.-Chicago Herald.

The Motion of a swimming Fish.

One of the most recent applications of
chrono-photography-by which is meant
photography applied by means of a series
Of short and rapid exposures to the rep
resentation Of moving objects in success
sive positions-has been devisedin France
for the study Of the swimming motions
Of fish. A rayfish was chosen as the sub
ject of investigation, and the successive
photographs were taken at intervals of
one-tenth Of a second. They show COM
pletely the movement of the fins and
present a similarity to the photographs
that have been obtained of the motions
of the wings of flying bird.
The swimming action begins with a
lifting of the front part of the fin. This
lifting motion runs rapidly backward
along the fin, the front part being in the
meantime depressed once more, and just
before the motion ceases at the tail the
movement recomnences at the front end
Of the fin.-Youth's Companion.

Slowly dies the long June day.
Softly rolls the earth away.
Lovelier light at length divining.
All dream OF misty bloom,
Trembling stars and golden gloom,
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which Is dearer. dusk OF day.

Lost In light the ruby spark,
Violet CLEAN and saffron splendor.
Melt and mingle into one,
When the long June day Is done.
All tho depths throb close and tender

Yet what freedom OF the skies

Too Much and Too Little Reading.

IL was a saying OF Hobbies that IL he had
read as much as other men he would doubt
less have shared their ignorance An ut
terance so bold could only afford TO be made
by man endowed with great capacities for
independent thought and possessed Of the
grand arrogance Of genius. Most Of us, I'M
less we have fallen into the lamentable er.
ror OF believing that we are geniuses our
selves, have to be content with thinking
over again the thoughts of other and great
er minds than our own. Happily the ex-
isting tendency toward shorter hours OF
labor and the cheapening of books afford
more opportunity and increased facilities
for reading As to what it is we should
read, much must be left to age and taste
and habits Of thought Journal.
