+" T0nics OF Fear"

"rhere Is tonic OF fear as there
Is a tonic OF JOY" says a physician,
"and at times we all need it," At times
II a man can find no bugaboos ne VIII
create them. A fear that sets the heart
al faster pace and sends the blood rae
ing gives n sensation TO Ifs that we all
recall with pleasure.
Literature has catered TO this desire.
iSut every one.has observed how made
quate arc modern ghost and burglar
stories for this parpose. The burglars OF
Conan Doyle ana Quiller Couch are
humorous fellows and the modern ghost
Is harrled and badgered by mortals. The
need OF the sensation OF horror Is as I'm
peratiye as before, bat the means OF graf
ineation are changing. The new era OF
Psychology and the mysterious unfolding
and enlargement OF the domain OF life
have conjured up new, strange and fasci-
mating horrors. Instead OF being afraid
OF ghosts ano burglars we are now afraid
OF ourselves.
These new thrills are illustrated In
such stories nc Guy dc Maupassant's
"Horla," tho stores of hypnotic sugges-
ton, the trRnsmutstion ot souls ann
bodies based on such new discoveries as
those OF Pasteur, Brown-Seqnnrd, and
the infinite possibilities of electricity.
Tho most haunting Of all these is the
psychical researches, theory of sub-con-
sciousness, which Is 10 tho individual
what the demon was TO Socrates and his
fellows.
This thing is always lying in wait to
take advantage Of the will in moment
or Weakness. in sleep II has the body
all TO Itself. Dreams are not Nightmares
and the vagaries of mince pie. They are
real events, as real as that OF the day, and
good or Ill according TO the desires and
tastes OF this second soi. In the mystery
OF "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" 1t tri-
umphed. In "Horla" it was victorious,
and the author ended. his mental life IN
madness.
Another new source of horror Is found
In the extension of organized life. There
arc people who believe that the phrase,
inorganic matter" is meaningless; all
creation pulses with life. Three mem
bers ofa prominent Boston family have
committed suicide for fear of Injuring
the lesser creatures. The last, young
man foud OF horseback riding, gave IL
up lest he crush tho creeping things on
the highway. Then he refused 10 walk
IN his garden for fear OF treading on
he got out OF life by killing himself.
dwelling too much on this sort OF thing
and acting in accordance with such be-
liefs might In time lead to mental states
and conduct that may excite remark.
jules Claretie not long ago, writing OF
this new shudder remarks that IL indulg-
ed in immoderntely, is apt TO prove bad
for the system, like morphine and other
unwholesome narcotics. This is differ
ent thing from the healthy tonic furn-
ished by tho burglar snd the old-fash-
ioned ghost.

"16 to 4" Notions.

We had supposed. says the Washington
Post, that the meaning OF "16 to IL as
the term used In discussing the coinage
question, was understood by all readers
OF the daily newspapers, but II appears
that this assumption was unwarranted.
The Springfield Repu blican has published
q letter from correspondent who has
MADE IL his business to collect opinions
on this subject in manufacturing city
In New England. He says he found one
man OF large business interests who said
that the term 16 TO l meant that it took
sixteen silver dollars to equal the value
OF one gold dollar. The correspon dent
reports having found a number of bank
officials VINO were all at sea on the SUBJ
ject. The Republi finds that a man
OF good business standing In The excep-
tionally intelligent city OF Springfield
thinks II means that the gold dollar
is worth as much as l6 silver dollars.
The New York evening Post learns that
in North Carolina the opinion prevails
among the culored men that u means
that white men ought To have SIG where
the colored mon have 81. For this rea-
son they are naturally opposed TO it..
The dvertisor of Tuscaloosa, Ala. knows
OF a man VINO is in favor OF free coinage
because II would give n per capita cir
culstion OF ESQ, and as, his family consists
OF six mem bers that would give him $500
in pasb.

"The BfoolEing Bird"

THE Marine band concerts at tho White
House grounds" observed James Ryder,
who has figured az hotel waitar for near
ly half a century, were, bofore the war
closed, an event, as far as we colored peo-
pie were concerned, for no colorod persons
were ever admitted to tho grounds unless
they went there In the capacity of nurses
for children or attendants upon elderly
persons. To the knowing ones, however,
there was no difficulty. All we had TO do
was TO go there with some white boys or
girls and represent that we were servants
or some ones servants sent there for chill
dreu or others. No one then objected, and
we could listen to the music just the same
as the others was there when The Mock
ing Bird was first played. 10 was dedi-
Gated to Miss Harriet Lane, the niece OF
President buchanan, and it's first perform
ance was big event Talk about whis-
tling popular songs or marches these days
Why they arc simply not in 1t. The Mock
ing Bird was whistled by the press, the
public and clergy and nearly every one
else who could cock lip There were
'Mocking Bird waltzes, polkas, redowas
and other things In that line until you
could not rest AS the band finished tho
first public rendition of The Mocking
Bird all eyes turned to Miss Lane, who
stood the central figure in group on the
south portico. She bowed her acknowl-
edgments and thanks and joined the others
in clapping her hands appiauding the
band"

THERE is no theorizing, except as to
the matter OF a, few cents, about what
the value OF jhe silver dollar would be,
II freely, unlimitedly ana INDEPENDENTLY
coined. What its value would be Is mat
ter of actual knowledge based on present
examples. In Mexico, I'm India, in China,
and everywhere that sucn freely coined
silver dollar exists, 1t is worth its market
value, so cents more or less. Ane its
purchasing power is not represented by
its dollar stamp, but by its 50-cent value.
what's the use of talking to the con.
trary.
