In Spite of Chinese War Methods the Slll

Secretary Morton considered it d
clever trick to prove the superiority Of
the gold STANDARD by paying the salaries
of the bimetalhstic employees of his de-
partmont in silver dollars, and the adj
ministration organs delighted in stating
that the recipients did not like to carry
off the heavy weight Of their wages.
How poor the position and tho knowl-
edge Of the gold supporter is on the
world important subject Of currency Is
proved by this childish device Of the
cabinet minister and the childish ex-
uberance of joy manifested by the mon
ometallists Of this country.
In Europe the Importance of the cur
ronoy difficulty is moro seriously fecog-
nized.
Though the government and the press
there are still mesmerized by tho few
great banking houses who control the
worlds economies by limiting and shut.
ting off the circulating medium no such
pueriie tricks rs Morton's dodge are re-
sorted to in order to strengthen the sup
port for the gold standard 1t is we'll
known to every rational mind that hard
money Is not convenient for use. Con-
sequently paper proxies, standing in the
place Of and backed by coin, are PIE
ferred.
If the monthly or quarterly amoint
of bis salary were rendered in gold coin
to Jester Morton, he would very em-
phatically object to that mode Of pay
ment and exclaim: II don't want to lug
that load. Give me big notes" Yea;
it is most likely that he would be dis
inclined to take his salary In 81, 90 or
$5 bills.
This little incident shows how httle
the great currency question: is uider-
stood by men in important offices who
ought to know.
During the sweltering term the silver
discussion has wilted little, which has
revived the waning spirit Of the gold

This beating Of the gong and shout

sllrnr. Cotton nnd wheat.

Gold inonometallists say, "Our people
have been taught and many Of them
honestly believe that the price Of cotton
is governed by the price Of silver, and
they say there is no rational foundation
for such belief. How will they ex-
plain to the farmers Of our country the
fact that when, in 1898, the mints Of
India were closed to the free coinage OF
silver, the gold price Of silver declined
from 30 to 25 per cent? The relation be-
tween silver and cotton and wheat re"
manning the same, given quantity OF
gold would purchase 90 to 26 per cent
more Of wheat OF cotton. To meet this
decline our wheat and cotton fell pro-
portionately How do they explain the
fact that England can come here, buy
our silver bullion OF about 90 cents in
the dollar and ship it to India and swap
the 80 cents worth Of silver bullion fOG
a bushel of wheat, thus forcing Amor
lean producers Of wheat to sell at the
same priceP If the closing Of the Indian
mints to silver caused it to decline 30
to % per cent, and with 1t wheat, cot
ton and other staple products, the sup
ply remaining the same, would not the
reverse be true upon the reopening Of
the Indian mints to free ooinage-tc
wit, rise Of 30 to % per cent in the
value Of silver and likewise of wheat
and cotton? OF these facts an intelligent
people will ask an explanation of thos'
who say that the price Of silver bear
no relation to that Of cotton and wheat

HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.
The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Moped
When He Was There.

All his life Horace had wished for
piece of land which contained garden,
stream and coppice, and III the Sa-
bine valley he found all three. To take
nap after his brief meal on the grass
by the stream was to him that exquisite
combination Of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish 70 despise because
it is an enjoyment within the reach
of every other animal as well as of him
self. Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at Thur
healthier than the capital, especially in
the autumn, when all fathers and
mothers turn pale with fear for their
children. - 1t may be doubted if Rome
was so exempt from malarial fever at
that time as it is generally thought to
have been. Once, when he had promised
MRcenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all the month
of August, and he begs his dear
friend, if he would have him keep
we'll, to let him stay yet longer, and
even pass the winter ont of Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking of
Tarentum).
Yet was not there spice Of truth IN
the taunt which his servant Davus ad-
dressed to the poet, that when he had
been too long III the country he moped
to death? Weare almost invited to sus-
pect that there was the town was, after
all, the life of his life One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy Dayus him
self hated seclusion as much as any Ital-
ian sayant does today Thur he may
have endured there he could gossip
with the servants Of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due chiacchiere except with the
misunderstanding martyr! By immortal
| izing the amusing criticism of Davus,
Horace shows hat he was the first to OBJ
serve that "no man was hero to his
! valet ''-CmtpmDurarV Review

The Sacred and Symbolic Palm.

From the very earliest times the palm
tree has been recognized as a symbol ot
victory Among the Greeks and the
Romans palm branches were used to
decorate the buildings and streets OF
their cities in honor of the return of a
victorious army. This custom appears
to have been taken from the eastern
nations, but from what one in particu'
lar no one now knows.
AT very early age the Hebrews were
accustomed to carry palm branches on all
occasions of rejoicings. This custom
having been observed on the entry of
Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has come
to bear special symbolism among
Christians. The primitive church used
it to express the triumphs Of the Chris
tian over death through the resurrec-
tion. As early as the second century
A. d. it became the custom to carve
palm branches on the tombstones Of
those who had died for the faith, and
about the same time all pictures of mar
tyrs were figures holding representations
of palm branches in their hands st

self Out of Deep Hole.
"While digging holes for telegraph
poles at Byron Me, - said a Western
Union man, Il became interested in
watching the ingenuity and persever-
ance of IA monse. He fell into one of the
holes, which was AZ feet deep and
20 inches across. The first day he ran
around the bottom of the hole, trying to
find some means Of escape, but could
not climb out The second day he set
tied down TO business. He began stead
ily and Systematically to dig IA spiral
groove round and round the inner sur
face of the hole with uniformly as
day, and as he got farther from the bot
tom he dug little pockets where he
could either lie or sit and rest. Interest
ed witnesses threw in food.
AT the end Of two weeks the mouse
struck a rock This puzzled him. For
nearly a day he tried to get under,
around or over the obstruction, but
without success. With unflinching pa
tience he reversed his spiral and went
on tunnelng his way III the opposite
direction. At the end Of four weeks he
reached the top and probably sped away
to enjoy his well earned freedom. His
escape was not seen. When his food was
put i'll in the morning he was near the
surface, but at night the work was seen
to be complete, and the little engineer,
whose pluck and skill had saved his
life, had left New York Sun.

Among all the thousands of feathered
nithologists, but one, the rpir n doob,
or bird of death, " is known to be ven
omous. This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is "a
native of the island of Papua or New
Guinea The bird is described as being
about the size of common tame pigeon,
of gray plumage, and a tail of extraor-
dinary length, ending in "A tip of bril-
liant scarlet red 1t is marsh bird and
is found to inhabit only the immense
stagnant pools adjoining the lakes of
the interior of the island The rpir has
hooked beak. az sharp as cock s spur
and hollow. Inc venom with which he
inoculates is distilled in Il set of organs
which nature has provided for that pur-
pose and which lie in the upper mandi-
bic, just below the openings of the nos
trils. Under this poison secretinR labora-
tory i'll the roof of the mouth is a small
tleshy knob When the bird sets its beak
in the flesh of victim, this knob re-
ceives pressure which liberates the
venom and inoculates the wound. No
man, native or otherwise, was ever
known to recover from a bite inflicted
by rpir n doob. The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agonizing
than in cases of rattlesnake and Gil
monster bites. st. Louis Republic.
