SOUND MONEY.

Another answer to ''Coin" and the teach
ings of his financial school. The authors,
John A. Fraser Jr. and Charles II. Seigel,
have cast their arguments in the form OF
fiction, and after a series of imaginary
bouts with "Coin" succeed, entirely to
their own satisfaction, in demolishing his
"schooI" and theories" and setting up a
single-standard OF sound money for the
people. They proceed upon the hypoth-
esis that Coin and all who do not fall
in with the views of monometallists are
either fools or in the employ of the friends
of silver, and the arguments advanced are
worthy of the intelligence that works upon
such an assumption. None of the litera-
ture that has sprung up about Coin S"
book can be regarded as throwing any
light about upon the questions of finance.
Controversy is rarely of real value, and the
sort of controversy that, under the thin
guise of fiction, and specious handling of
the phraseology of political economy, con-
tents itself with vituperation and contra
diction, in lieu of argument, is worse than
useless. The student who desires to in
form himself upon the financial questions
of the day will do well to eschew both
"Coin" and his detraetors, whose views
are necessarily partisan and fragmentary,
and study the subject from the standpoint

if Not Taken in Time.
1t Is Better to Economic in Some
Other Direction Than in the Matter

Consult Drs. Copeland, Neal and
Winn Before 1t Is Too Late.

Drs. Copeland, Neal and VIM have but one
thought which they desire to impress upon the
people of San Francisco and vicinity this week,
and that is the danger from procrastination.
They hear OF many patients who intend taking
treatment but are putting it off until "times
get better"
Procrastination is not only the thief of time,
but it is the thief that steals away ones health.
To procrastinate, to put off taking treatment
when you have cough that weakens and re-
duces you, cutting pains through the chest and
back, lungs sore and threatened with cavities,
loss of appetite, flesh and strength, the appear
ance of night sweats, with difficulty in breath
ing, is only TO invite the thief, consumption,
that will surely steal away your life. These
ymptoms are sure forerunners of consump-
ton, and as surely advance from the durable to
the incurable stage as night follows day If not
properly treated. Therefore take timely warn
ing; economic in some other direction than
that of your health, for what is life without
this inest1mable boon-health?
The low fee charged by Drs Copeland, Neal
ank Winn-$5 month and all medicine fur
nished free-makes it possible for every one to
take at least one months course OF treatment,
and this is the only way chronic catarrhal and
other diseases can be cured. They have demon
strated during the past three years that first
class treatment can be furnished for So
month, medicine included, in all chronic dis
eases, and any patient who is paying more than
this is simply paying too much. They refer to
over thousand cured cases in San Francisco
and vicinity, and to the testimony OF we'll

"Many of these worthy men broke the

ciic Coast. drove away all dangers and
made it safer for those who dared not at

PUNISHMENT AND REFORMATION.

DR.. F. n. Wines, who is widely known
as one of the most careful investigators and
most reliable authorities on all subjects
relating to penology, has written for
Crowell's Library of Economics and Poll
tics an elaborate study entitled Punish
ment and Reformation, - in which he gives
an historical account of the growth of
modern ideas on this question.
According to Mr.. Wines, humanity has
passed through two stages of ideas con-
corning crime and punishment, and in all
civilized countries has now reached third
stage. In the first stage punishment was
based upon retaliation, in the second upon
the idea of prevention, and in the third on
reformation. In the days when the object
of punishment was to revenge society upon
the criminal, terrible penalties were in
flicted upon the victims of the law. These
punishments were carried from bad to
worse during the middle ages, and the
ignorance, cruelty and superstition of that
dark period led to the intiiction of fearful
fortunes, not only upon the guilty but upon
many innocent persons.

AN BRRANT WOOING.

Novels dealing with the contrasts and
the sympathies between American and
English society have become common, but
in "An Errant Wooing" Mrs. Burton Har-
rison has presented the old theme in a
new way, and given it interest by the grace
and vivacity of her treatment of its prob
lens. The story is not an ambitious one.
1t is society novel pure and simple, hav-
ing no other aim than that of depicting
the society people of both countries under
the aspects in which they are seen in the
drawing rooms of New York and London.
In addition to being an international love
story. it is also romance of travel,
inasmuch as the wooing which begins in
England drifts away to Tangier and the
South of Spain, where it finds happy
close amid the romantic gardens of the
Alhambra. The heroine is an American
girl who when first presented to the reader
IS as antagonistic to the pretensions and
assumptions of British aristocracy as could
be desired. A visit to an English country
house, however, shows her the pleasanter
aspects of English society, and as the ac-
ends by falling in love with lord of high
degree, and coming to the conclusion that
international marriages do not always i'm
ply unhappiness. Side by side with the
main wooing there runs another by which
an American lover wins an English girl,
and thus redresses the matrimonial balance
between the two countries.
Mrs. Harrison has told her story well,
and whether describing the foibles of soci-
ETY. or depicting the picturesque scenery
and the bull fights Of old Spain, she keeps
her reader freshly entertained from the
first page to the last. The attractiveness
OF the book is enhanced by illustrations of

pay for the farmland. When Manly had
grown up strong enough to be counted as
an able workman he found employment
scoring timber for the Michigan Central
Railroad, which was then in course of con-
struction, but not liking the work he
started off with a companion and began
the rowing career which he was to continue
for many year before he found rest and
a comfortable home in Santa Clara Valley.
The most extraordinary venture that
befell Mr.. Manly was brought about by
the attempt of party with which he was
making an overland journey to California
to avoid the long detour OF the southern
route by making a short cut across the
mountains with the idea of reaching this
State through what one of their guides
called Tulare Valley. This attempt led
the party into Death Valley, and it is from
the hard experience there that the title of
the autobiography has been chosen. This
part, like all the rest of the narrative, is
told with no attempt at fine writing and
without even a suggestion of exaggeration,
and yet it forms story of adventure and
of fortitude and courage under trying cir
cumstanees that enables the least imagin
