I he Legal Rights OF BicycIers.

a good deal Of litigation has grown
<3ut Of the use Of the bicycle, and
sseveralsuits are now pending. 1t has
taken the courts some time to es-

adEermade no more than can a car
E'iage, Gray or farm wagon.
They cannot be held on a crossing in

Fire in Clyman,

One of the most destructive fires
shat has visited the town of Clyman
fzar many years occurred last Monday
uafght, on the farm of the late I. Godsell.
gEhe farm is occupied by Mrs. Godsell,
she widow, and her daughter, but is
worked by Thomas Godsell, who re-
sides one mile to the east. He with
his brother James we're stacking barley
epn the premises during the day, and
Neft the place about shutdown, at which
Gi1me everything seemed to be all right.
About $50 o'clock KERN Donohue,
4of Shields, who owned farm across the
road from the Godsell place and who
happened to be there at the time, dis
covered fire among the grain stacks.
He gave the alarm and at once went to
work to check the progress OF the fire.
A strong wind was blowing at the time,
which famed the blaze beyond the
control of the neighbors who came from
all directions as quickly as possible.
ESothing was saved except the dwelling
mouse and this by the greatest efforts.
The property burned included five
Earge stacks of barley and one of wheat,
she barn with its contents, including a
Eot of hay, feed-grinding apparatus,
n wagon or two, and large number of
farming tools and utensils. The
sgranary, hen house and hog pen, and
5n fact every outbuilding or the place,
were reduced to ashes. The total loss
may exceed $1,000. So far as we can
Eearn, there was no insurance except
Ezpon the barn. Juneau Telephone

PARENTS IN JAPAN.
They Are Beloved Far Above Husband OF
VNifn

They Are Beloved Far Above Husband or
Wife.
The moral and social law of Japan is:
''Thou shalt love thy father and mother
with all thy heart, mind and strength"
The Japanese wife loves her own par
ents more than she does her husband,
and Japanese husband loves his wife
with an affection far weaker than that
which he bestows on his own father
and mother. Mr.. Hearn, in "Glimpses
of Unfamiliar Japan" quotes this con-
versation, in a schoolroOm, between
the English teacher and Japanese
pupil:
Teacher, have been told that if
European and his father and his wife
were all to fall into the sea together,
and that he only could swim, he would
try to save his wife first Would he,
really?"
probably" replied the teacher.
''But why?"
zone reason is that Europeans con-
slider 1t a mans duty to help the weak
er frst-especially women and chill
dren."
"And does European love his wife
more than his father and mother?"
'Not always-but generally, per-
haps, he does"
'Why teacher, according TO our ideas
that is very immoral"
A lad of sixteen wrote composition
on European and Japanese Customs, {"
in which he gave expression to his
ideas about the relation of husband and
wife as held in Europe:
What we think very strange is that
In Europe every wife loves her husband
more than her parents. In Nippon
there is no wife who more loves not
her parents than her husband. And
Europeans walk out in the road with
their wives, which we utterly refuse
to, except at the festival of Hachiman.
''The Japanese woman is treated by
man as a servant, while the European
woman is respected as a master. I
think these customs are both bad. We
think it is very much trouble to treat
European ladies; and we do not know
why ladies are SO much respected by
Europeans"

He HAD PLUCK,
Even IF the Poor little Chap Was Dressed
as Little LoTd Eauntleroy.

Even IF the Poor little Chap Was Dressed
as Little LORD Eauntleroy.
The poor little chap wore a heavy
pea jacket of blue cloth, mounted with
brass buttons, large red tie which
ticl1led his peaked face, and leather
leggins, which covered up the rest of
him, except his long golden curls On
the top Of those he wore a blue sailor
cap. His mother, says the New York
Herald, gave him to a Third avenue car
conductor, with injunctions to set him
off somewhere, and then went to a shop
on Grand street. Later on, boy of
his own age, but dressed in knicker-
bocllers and wooden stockings, squeezed
beside him on the seat and pulled one
of his curls. The little boy with the
golden hair grinned weakly, but had as
much chance to retaliate as trussed
chicken, and when [ looked over at him
sympathetically, and warned the other
boy away, he hoped off his perch and
came over to my side and said:
Say, mister, help me off with these
things, will you?"
He threw his cap under the seat and
l unbottoned the pea jacket and the
hot, stiff leggins, and held them on my
knee, wondering what would follow.
The pale little boy gave his curls a
shake and sprang at the other with sur
prising agility. Together they rolled
on the floor of the car, and before we
could separate them the little boy with
the blonde curls would never have been
recognized by his mother. But he shed
no tears. He put on his coat, hung the
leggins over his arm, and climbed up
beside me. Then he remarked:
Say, mister, I'd slugged that fell
low, if he hadn't got grip on my
hair"
When that boy got off the car gave
him the price of hair cut, and told
him to go home with closely cropped
head. hope his mother will forgive
me, but it's shame to grow curls on
boy like that

Hard fo Remember

'|It has always seemed curious to me, -
said an old sailor, that there are some
men who never by any possibility can
learn anything about a ship. I've
known men of great intelligence and
learning who simply couldn't remem-
Der, no matter how hard they tried,
which was the starboard and which
the port side of ship. But then I've
known, too, men on shore who never
could remember which was the nigh
horse and which was the off horse of a
team"

WHAT DARWIN OVERLOOKED.
Self-Sacrifice Held to Be Factor In the
Evolution of Plant Life.

Self-Sacrffce Held to Be g Factor In the
Evolution of Plant Life.
Some objection has been made, and
apparently with some weight, that the
modern doctrine of the evolution of
plants, based on selfshness, is not by
any means the rule prevailing in vege-
tation-fowers, as well as members of
the animal world, seem to be governed
in quite as great part by self-sacrifce
as by selfshness, says Meehan's Month
~. Though the struggle for life, as it
is called, and the survival of the fttest''
must have something to do with the
evolution OF form, and must be neces-
sary to the existence of plants individ-
ually, yet it is evidently not so to ALL
In human nature selfshness is trait
which cannot be left uncultivated At
the same time a large part of human
nature finds just as much pleasure in
little deeds which must come under the
class of self-sacrifce as in the pursuit
Of anything that may have relation to
the struggle for existence. AS an IL
lustration of this point in plants, the
production of turpentine by the south
ern pine trees comes in. If the pine
trees are left alone the production of
turpentine is comparatively small, but
when tapped and made to produce the
turpentine for the benefit of man it
goes on producing without the tree in
the least suffering. The annual prod
uct of turpentine by the southern pine
trees is some ten million dollars, which
it seems to hand over to the uses Of
man without the slightest injury to it
self. In no way can it be shown that
the production of turpentine is a benefit
to the pine tree.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Foiled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my
arms hands and legs. had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, / had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indeScribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief Once it fastens upon person, they
say, it continues its insidiOus progress until
it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. l had been doctOring
year and half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit. when | saw an advertisement
of DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, procured a
bottle and began using it. Marvellous as it
may seem, but few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me.
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. [ now feel as
well as L ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though l had run down
from ITO to 1877. Four others have used DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine on my recOmen-
datiOn, and it has been as satisfactory in their
cases as in mine. "-James Kane, La Rue, O.

Lincoln On Capital and Labor.

The following extract from the mar
tyred Presidents message to the second

is good reading for all men and women,
and is commended to their careful per-
usal
Monarchy itself is sometimes limited
at as possible refuge from the power
of the people. In my present position
I could scarcely be justified wereI to
omit raising warning voice against
approach of returning despotism. 1t is
not needed nor fitting here that a gem
eral argument should be made in favor
of public institutions, but there is one
point with its connection not SO hack
neyed as most others to which l as k a
brief attention. 1t is to the effort to
place capital on an equal footing with,
if not above, labor in the structure of
the government. It is assumed that la
Dor is available only in connection with
capital-that nobody labors unless
somebody else, owning capital, some-
how by the use of it induces him to la
Dor. - Labor is prior to and in
dependent Of capital. Capital is only
fruit of labor and could never have ex-
listed if labor had not first existed. La
bor is the superior of capital and de-
serves much the higher consideration.
No men living are more worthy
to be trusted than those who toll up
from poverty; none less inclined to
take or touch aught which they have
not honestly earned. Let them beware
of surrendering political power which
fsurrendered, will surely be used to
close the door of advancement against
such as they, and to fix new disabilities
and burdens upon them till all ofliberty
shall be lost.

Big things are told about the Yellow
Jacket, of Idaho, on which Mr.. Julius
Thompson, of this city, built mill last
year, which was Immediately destroyed
by fire. Mr. A. B. Roeder and others
then bought the mine and erected 30
stamp mill, aud in doing nothing but
development work and prospecting,
the average yield per month has been
between S12, 900 and $4,000. This de-
velopement has shown up vein of
milling ore fully fifty feet wide, the av-
erage saving from which on the plates
is $40 in gold. The total cost of min
ing and milling, including Office expens-
es and everything, is S2.67 per ton, but
with the new facilities contracted for,
this item will be reduced more nearly
to the cost of production in the Home
sake, where 81 ore pays, or in the
in which $3.50 per ton ore
is milled to profit. These improve
ments include an addition of 70 stamps
to the mill and pipe line and fume to
furnish power for an electric plant.
When everything is running under the
new conditions, it is expected that the
Yellow Jacket will produce $4,000,

six or seven inches thick, and the pc
culiar characteristic marks of FIR bark
show very plainly. The specimens of
the wood are even more clearly marked

From this it is seen that Professionals
osnumber their Roman Catholic breth-
rem by several millions. The writer
also points out that Protestanism is the
religion of the leading countries of the
earth, England, Netherlands, the
United States and Germany, who, with
their colonies, comprise about one half
the earth's population, and declares
that the increase of Professionalism will
inevitably follow the gradual spread of
Christian civilization among the ma
tions. Thus it is seen that the Protest
ant Church has not-only outgrown the
Roman Church but that Professionalism
exercises the most potent influence
throughout the nations of the'earth.

THE DE LAMAR NUGGET.
SATURDAY,, JUNE Is. 1895.
Bimetallism.

Some real friends of silver are
troubled to know how the coinage ratio
is TO be determined between gold and
silver. 1t appears to them unfair that
it should be 16 to l, when there is such
a divergence in. the commercial value
Of the metals. They lose sight of the
fact that the divergence is forced one;
that now gold only is used as money,
while silver is simply merchandise, and
Che chief value of either is because of
their use as money. They kept together
very closely as helpmates in the diotri-
button of wealth for eighty years. The
coinage of both at the ratio of 16 to l
gave q more uniform and equitable
measure than either could have done
separately.
They were secretly and wickedly d.
vorced at time when neither of them
was in circulation, performing the func-
tions of money. There was not at that
time any pretense that silver was de-
based metal and 1ntit for coinage. On
the contrary, the very day that the con-
spirators accomplished their devilish
purpose, silver was at a premium over
gold at the American ratio. The diver
gence was not caused by an ABNORMAL
production of silver. That assertion
has been SO often repeated that many
believe it to be true. The production
of our silver mines has not increased as
fast as the growth of our population
and demands of business. Deprived by
law of it's money functions, as was done
by dropping silver from coinage, threw
it upon the money market as mere
merchandise.
For many centuries gold and silver,
as commodities, have oscilated like the
pendulum; sometimes one and then the
other has been in excess, but the equil-
ibrium has been maintained. In 1649-
80 the unusual discoveries of gold in the
United States and Australia alarmed |
creditors. They feared the depreciation
of gold, and seriously proposed to stop
its coinage and make silver the only |
measure of values. Before the money
syndicates had accomplished their pur-
pose, the pendulum went the other way.
1t ia an interesting and suggestive fact
that for many centuries the relative
yield of the mines has been substan-
TALLY the same, and in the ratio of 16
to l. There can be no disputing the
statement that the use of both metals as
The money of redemption holds the
scales of Justice between debtor and
creditor mose evenly than wonid be
possible by the use of only one metal.
