MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN
TO RECEIVE.

The adage that it is more blessed to give
than to receive holds good only in its most
abstract sense, for many times most gen.
erously-inclined person finds that giving is
such heavy tax that the sweetness thereof
is lost in the thought of the extra burden
which it entails.
Giving presents is not by any means the
outcome of spontaneous generosity, nor are
such offerings entirely voluntary on the
part OF the givers; on the contrary, there
exists a distinct code relating to the act of
giving, and anyone attempting to evade it
is almost regarded as a moral defaulter, or,
to say the least of it, as "mean person."
Wedding presents may be said to be the
first on the list of binding obligations, and
so far-reaching are they that even slight
acquaintance come under their sway and
influence. An invitation to wedding
implies that a wedding present follows, as a
matter of course. Between relatives and
friends of long standing this is reasonable
somewhat of strain as in the case of
young girls. Upon the former it presses
the hardest, as they generally give beyond
their means, being imbued with the idea
that, if they make present at ALL it must
be good one, and they will not avail
themselves of the way out of the difficulty
thu hool. door so 70 tl,,t t,;N
offerings present. Young girls have no
hesitation in giving valueless pretty novel
ties, the fashion or conceit of the hour,
considering the small allowances are
valid excuse for small presents being made.
As regards handsome presents, they are not
infrequently joint offerings from husband
and wife, brother and sister, mother and
daughter, and this is a popular custom fol-
lowed by royalty and general society. AL
though it is understood that an invitation
to wedding is the forerunner of present,
yet actually the present generally precedes
the invitation, for as soon as the annouce-
ment becomes known, presents follow
within few weeks before invitations to a
marriage are even issued, and therefore as
many send presents before as after invita-
lions to both bride and bridegrooms, for
presents to bridegrooms are becoming more
and more numerous, by reason doubtless of
the luxury of the age and the craze men
have to surround themselves with expen-
sive prettiness. Philadelphia Times.

ATHLETICS.

1t is possible that the universal interest
in track and field spots, which has so
rapidly developed in the last two years,
will prove harmful to baseball and tennis.
Already | have heard several complaints
from captains of mines that it is difficult to
get candidates to come out and try for pc
sition on the team, because almost every
boy who has any ambition for athletic hon
ors is running or jumping, or otherwise
training his muscles that he may take part
in contest which our material reward for
success. In other words, gold, silver, and
bronze medals are more tempting than
proprietary interest in champion pennant.
If it is true that an appreciable number of
boys go into track athletics not for the
SPORT but for the medals, the sooner med
ais are done away with the better. But it
does not seem possible that this can be so.
1t is more probable that baseball and tennis
have been superseded, to a certain extent,
by track and field sports because of the
and run or jump Or put the shot all by
himself at almost any time OF the day.
But he cannot 90 into an open field and
play baseball with himself, nor can he go
to tennis-court and play tennis with him
self. In one case he must secure one OPP
ponent at least and in the other he must
gather dozen or more companions. To
be sure, these objections are not very valid
in New York, but | heve no doubt the
charm of individuality has tempted good
many boys to indulge in track sports. If
baseball and tennis have suffered thereby
it is all the more reason why baseball and
tennis enthusiasts should strive by every
means in their power to organize good
mines and train good tennis-players, for it
is an unhealthy tree that puts all its
vitality into one branch

THE UMBRELLA DEMON.

There is a class of individuals who ought
to be chased out of the public streets. This
class of men is divided into two kinds.
One carries the umbrella under the arm,
grasping the handle with one hand, allow
ing the eye-opener end to stick straight out
to iab the eyes out of everybody behind.
1t would be good thing if every mall and
woman who chances to be behind one of
these lunatics would fetch the umbrella a
sharp rap downward, as they do in Berlin,
Germany. The other style of lunatic
crooks his elbows and grasps the umbrella
around the middle, thrusting the thing
back and forth. This is ten times more
aggravating than the other way, though il
does not ieopardize such vital organs as the
eve.

In a recent lecture on the use of alumni
ium in vessel construction, Mr.. Yarrow,
the noted English ship builder, said that
the two great enemies of the metal are
heat and alkalies. The metal anneals at a
comparatively low temperature, thus losing
strength, while alkalies act very rapidly
upon it, Consequently, any part likely to
be subject to considerable rise of temper
allure should not be made of aluminium,
nor should it be used for condenser where
soda may be required for cleansing pur-
poses. Aluminium at high temperatures
oXidizes with exceptional rapidity. At
low temperatures it does not oxidize so
rapidly and the film of oxide ON the sur
face protects the metal from further action.

As we partake of it.

Whichever we make of it.

rnteru.,,o.aI Ce-operation.

II is worthy OF remark that the Sound
Money Convention in Memphis declared
indirectly for International cooperation
in the matter Of establishing a coinage
ratio. The third plank in the platform
OF that convention says:
eve therefore favor. in the absence
Of international cooperation. the reten-
ton and maintenance OF the existing
gold standard" etc.
The fourth plank is qualified IN IKE
manner. That part OF Il reads as fol-
lows:
I'VE realize that II ia impossible for the
United States Independently to adopt
bImetallic standard. and we deem II un-
wise and hazardous TO the best interests
of It's people for this country TO attempt
its establishment: but. We favor the
policy OF this country's standingl In the
attitude OF readiness at all times 10 CO.
operate with the other Powers In any
effort they may inaugurate looking 10
the adoption Of true bimetalIism.
II will be seen that the Memphis con-
vention was composed Of persons who
are not afraid OF real bimetallism. The
fact Is that bimetallism is indispensable.
Gold coins under a dollar would be a
nuisance. silver coins over dollar would
be a nuisance. Both metals are neeced,
and this country can never work out It's
destiny until its gold and silver coins
are at parity. The Memphis convention
says we cannot act Independently" so
we must act with some European Powers.
The same convention says the United
Ia admit
bimetallism.
on one point, the Memphis Sound Money
Convention substantially endorsed the
platform Of the last Democratic National
Convention. The Memphis convention
declared as follows:
eve favor the maintenance OF all our
money, whether gold. silver. or paper,
on a parity. TO the end that each dollar.
whatever may be its composition, shall
have equal purchasing and debt-paying
power with every other dollar"
And the Democratic National Conven-
ton Of 1892 declared as follows:
1--WE hold to the use Of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
country, and TO the coinage of both gold
and silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit OF coinage OF both metals
must be OF equal intrinsic and exchange
able value, or be adjusted through inter-
national agreement or by such safe
guards Of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance Of the parity OF the two
metals, and the equal power OF every
dollar at all times in the markets and in
payments Of debts"
1t will be seen that the Memphis con-
vention declares for several things for
which the Chicago convention Of 1892 de-
clared. On this subject, we may borrow
that "the thing that is is the thing that
shall be, and there is no new thing under
the sun"

new pa.L,.x System.


There is a large number Of persons de-
sIrous OF superseding the existing ma
tIonal-bank system by a new one, either
national or State. The declaration IN
the Democratic national platform OF 1872
in favor Of the repeal OF the 10 per cent.
tax on the issues of State banks has
been much discussed. but nobody has as
yet proposed an acceptable substitute for
the present system. Even the Memphis
convention hides its declaration on this
subject in a cloud OF glIttering generate
ties. Here is It's resolution on this SUBJ
ject:
IS, We realize that our national-bank-
ing system was adopted during time
OF war and that II is not adapted TO ex-
listing conditions We. therefore, favor
such legislation as will secure to the peo-
Die a system OF banking surrounded by
such safeguards as will at all times fur
nish q safe. elastic, sufficient currency for
the transaction OF their business"
We have repeatedly said, that, though
we have seen proposed no new scheme
Of banking likely to please the public bet
ter than the existing one. yet we would

surrounded by such safeguards as will at
all times furnish a safe, elastic, and suf-
ficient currency"
But the fact that the Memphis con-
vention was so guarded I'm Its utterance
on the banking question ought to convince
everybody that that question is full OF
difficulties. How far. for instance. will
the Federal Government be expected or
allowed to control the matter OF the pro-
lection OF the notes issued by the pro-
posed State banks? Or. how far will the
States be permitted to go in their attempt
10 cut loose from the United States?
How as to inspectors or examiners
OF State banks? VIII each State Gov
eminent, as the Federal Government does,
undertake the work Of examination and
inspection?
However. the old system is at present
in no danger. The Senate II not the
House OF Representatives. will vote
against any new scheme intended to
uproot the banking system which has
worked successfully more than thirty
wears

Consressman Rnyner, of Maryland.

A week or two ago when the Baltimore
Sun, Mr. Rayner, and other Maryland
Democrats, were reported to be preparing
for taking the scalp" Of Senator Cor
man, and perfect silence was observed
on his side of the house, we stated that
the Senator generally turned up in due
time to see that no injustice was done 10
him or his followers SO we were not sur
prised to learn, as we did yesterday. that
Congressman Rayner had decided that
discretion was the better part Of valor.
and that he would not try to get the
Democratic nomination for the next gov
ernorship Of Maryland. AS we have said
heretofore, we are not familiar with the
condition OF things in Maryland, but we
have a notion that when a Democratic
leader gets to be better than his party
he is on the lookout for new party or
for an old party TO be manipulated in his
interest. We regard Mr.. Rayner as an
able man, and are not inclined to the
opinion that he win be allowed to re-
main long out OF politics.

Carefully Phrased.

The platform adopted by the Memphis
convention is one Of the most carefully
drawn papers that we ever read We
have elsewhere quoted some short ex.
tracts from 1t. We give here another
and commend Its study to all persons in
terested in the silver problem. The con-
vention declared as follows:
I'VE are opposed to the free, unlimited
and independent coinage OF silver at the
ratio OF l6 TO ], when the market or COM
mercial ratio is more than 30 TO 1, and
the difference between the bullion value
OF a gold and silver dollar is about 81
cents, on the ground that such action,
instead OF restoring the bimetallic stand
ard. would inevitably result In silver mo-
nometallism."
