a state approaching exhaustion, occurs
when one attempts TO alter natures
rhythm, when the hours Of tension are
made TO encrosh upon those which
should be- devoted to rest, when muscle
and nerve already fatigued are driven to
further exertion.
Fatigue Of a kind known AZ over
training results, in the case Of the athlete,
in heart weakness and shOrtness Of
brsath--"loss Of wind" az it is called;
while the ong-continued fatigue &C
casioned by excessive application to
professional or business pursuits results
in nervous prostration, or even in
paralysis.
While excessive fatigue is in itself
unwise, one of the chief dangers which
results from it is that commonly indi-
Gated by the term Catching cold" Thus
the danger Of sitting in draught or on
the damp ground is many times doubled
after great exertion. The application
Of heat to the surface is a more logical
procedure after extreme fatigue.
Loss of sleep is one Of the first
symptoms Of abnormal fatigue. Hsbitual
insomnia from this cause is TO be treated
only in one way, by absolute rest

How to Tint Caleimlne.

Although it may not be necessary for
the housewife to take any part in the
calcimining which often seems desirable
at renovsting season, yet she will find it
great satisfaction to know how it ought
to be done. With little knowledge Of
various colors TO be used, and their
blending, many beautiful tints may be
secured that would not otherwise be
attempted by an amateur.
70 prepare the calcimine soak one
pound Of white glue over night; then
dissolve it in boiling water and add
twenty pounds Of paris white, diluting
with water until the mixture is Of the
consistency of rich milk. To this any
tint can be given that is desired.
For lilac add to the cslcimine two parts
OF Prussian blue and one part Of veDmilion,
stirring the mixture thoroughly, and
taking care to avoid dark tint.
Burnt lumber should be used for Civ
inga brown tint; and for gray, raw
lumber with trifling amount Of lamp
black.
Three parts Of vermilion and one OF
red lead added in very small quantities
will give delicate shade of rose.
For lavender make light blue tint
with the Prussian blue, and tint II
slightly with vermilion. Straw color il
made with chrome yellow with q touch
Of Spanish brown. For buff use two
parts Of spruce or Indian yellow and one
part Of burnt sienna.
Delicate tints Of the colors mentioned
are always attractive. but care must b.
taken that they are not too vivid. The
tints win appear brighter on the wal
than in the oalcimine pot, and the work
man must keep this fact in mind Wher
adding the coloring powders. The
calcimine for the ceiling should be two
or three shades lighter than that Of the
walls, so that it may seem merely {

Fatigue is the natural result Of labor,
and az such is q periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar.
It is one Of the laws Of organic life that
periods Of relaxation shall succeed
periods Of activity. The heart ITSELF is
normally in repose for about one-third
OF the time consumed by each beat--a
fact in which there is something par
ticularly suggestive and interesting, since
Psychologists agree that about one-third
Of the twenty-four hours should be
devoted to sleep.
Life is made up Of series OF vibrations
in which tension and rest succeed each
other. The heart vibrates about seventy
times minute; the vibrations OF the
respiratory organs occur about sixteen
times In the same period; while the
vibrations Of the whole organism may be

Il takes good deal to make good
home. It needs something even besides
father and mother, and an open fire, and
the cat on the hearth. The first element
in the home is the house itself, which
needs to be distinctly different from any
other house in sight. Then there needs
to be some land around a house before
it can be "real honey" 1t gives play

Of prospect will also companion him

Picture Frames.

Picture Frames
There are few things that give a room
more coy, home-like appearance than
pictures, and in these days when steel
engravings, photographers, and good
copies Of the finest paintings are cheap,
it would seem that the humblest homes
might be adorned with them. They are
not only a pleasure TO the eye, but cul-
tivate a refined taste, and implant q
love of the beautiful in the minds of the
children.
On many advertisement cards may be
found lovely faces and figures which
can be cut with ssharp penknife. Mount
them on piece Of pasteboard, covered
with black or dark colored velvet, or
plush, and frame them in some simple
and inexpensive way. Homemade
frames may be as neat and artistic as
those purchased from furniture dealer.
Small pictures, photographs, ETC., are
handsome, finished in the following
manner: Get picture mat, or piece
Of heavy white or cream-coloTed card
board, three or four inches larger all
around than the picture. Cut out a
rectangular, or oval opening, trifle
smaller than the picture in the center,
and glue the picture in place. Cover
with glass, and back with pasteboard,
binding the edge together with strips Of
muslin, then finish the edge with rib
bon binding, drawing it enough to keep
it in place, and fastening the corners Sc
curely. Fasten bow at the corner where
the ends of the ribbon meet. The pic
ture is sometimes placed toward the
lower right hand corner of the mat and
design Of flowers, or q vine with
green leaves and tiny blossoms painted
at the left side extending half way across
the top.
Another pretty frame for q photo
graph may be- made Of piece OF MANILA
board, such as bookbinders use. Cut
out an opening for the picture in the
center. Draw line diagonally across
the corners, and cover the remainder
Of the frame with mucilaee; while this
is wet, sprinkle barley, or other small
grain, thickly over the surface. When
this dries, gid it with liquid gliding
that can be bought at any drug store,
already prepared for such purposes,
Cover the spaces left in the corners with
triangular pieces Of dark red magenta,
or black velvet, which has been cut
large enough to fold over on the back,
and fasten in place with glue. Fasten
the glass, picture, and back in place,
and il you have heavy silk cord the
same color as the velvet used on the
corners, fasten it around the edge, OF
finish the edge with small rope, fas-
tened in place with tiny brads, and gild
it, being careful not to touch the velvet
with the gliding.

Attacking Home Builders.

The silverite candidate for president
nominated at Chicago declared: 1--WE
are fighting for our homes, our families
and posterity." Mr.. Bryan neglected to
say how a policy of debt reputation
and property confiscation would estab-
lish more firmly the right of men who
build homes to w them. If, as he
seems to think, the fact that some debt
ors are poor justifies the wholesale rob-
berry of creditors, would not the same
logic entitle the millions who have no
land or homes to share the property of
the farmers who have by hard work Sc
cured a home and a little wealth? Can
an agitation which attacks capital and
property rights be truly said to be a
movement in defense Of the peoples
homes?
There are about g. 900, 900 Americans
who have saved up a little money and
deposited it in savings and other banks
Or in building and loan associations. A
large proportion of the 5, 900, 600 have
saved from their small earnings in hope
of one day having enough to get a home
for their old age, MI. Bryan's 16 to
scheme would cut the value of all these
savings in two. is that a policy in de-
fensS of the American home?
Fighting for our homes" sounds
well. Fighting to prevent the masses
from getting homes would be a more
truthful statement Of the silverite agi-
tation.

The gentlemen who. think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing a 50saent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are
All persons VINO work for wages, sal

All members Of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings. national,

All holders of life, fire and accident

All members of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the

All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly on in part up

gold has appreciated in value since 1878
and that this appreciate, has been
caused by the wicked bankers who have
cornered all the gold. Has any one sug-
gested that these wicked bankers have
cornered all the cents? In 1878 it re-
quired 129 cents Z purchase only one
ounce of silver. Today it requires only
68 cents to purchase this same II
ounce of silver. In 1879 it required l25
cents to purchase one bushel of wheat.
Today 03 cents will purchase one bushel
of wheat. And yet 100 cent? will pur-
chase the same amount Of gold today As
it could in 1873. Clearly, then, II r

THE slLvERlTE cATecHisM.
In Which Free Coinage Theories Are
Plainly Stated.

Plainly Stated.
What is money? Something made ont
of nothing by government.
Is there any limit to the amount Of
money which government can make?
Only the capacity of the printing presses
Of the country.
What kind of money is the best?
That which has the least value.
What does cheap money mean?
Money that will buy very little wealth.
Why are some people poor? Because
the money they get i'll exchange for
their products or their labor will buy a
large amount of goods.
How can the poor all be made rich?
By stamping so cents worth Of silver
Zone dollar" and thus decreasing the
purchasing power of money.
What is capitalist? A wicked sinner
who has worked hard and saved up a
little property.
What is a patriot? A man who covets
his neighbours property and wants to
get hold Of it by law.
What does Republication" mean? It is
q simple scheme for readjusting the ins'
equalities between the men who worked
and the men who have not.
What is the golden rule of the silver
ties? Do others as they would not do
you.
What are we to understand by ''hon-
esty" and good faith between men?"
That creditors are to be cheated out of
one-half of their property whenever the
debtors control congress.
Why not benefit debtors still more by
repudiating all the claims of creditorsY
That will come later. The public must
be educated into silverism by degrees.
What is n creditor? A fiend in human
shape who loaned 100 cent dollars and
doesn't want to be paid in dollars worth
so cents.
ers? By causing the withdrawal Of all
loans, paralysis of industry, stagnation
of commerce and idleness of millions of
workers who now buy farm products.
How will the i6 TO 1 scheme benefits
the working classes? BY making them
pay twice as much for everything they
buy, while giving them little or no in
crease in wages. 1t will also coniscate
half of their savings bank deposits.
What is a silver mine owner? A good,
kind, unselish citizen, who doesn't
want higher prices of silver so that he
will get rich, but simply because he
loves his fellow man.
Does his love for the workers lead
him to pay more than market rates for
his labor? Not much. Business and
sentiment are two different things. Be-
sides he doesn't have to.
What is "a sound currency? Dollars
with 80 cents worth of silver and so
cents worth of fiat or paper dollars all
fiat.
What is the chief duty Of agood citi-
zen? To hate everybody who il indus
trious and thrifty, and to meekly swal-
low ali the nostrums of the cheap money
Office seekers.
How can the people be made prosper
Gus? BY setting class against class dis
couraging the investment CT capital;
contracting the currency by running en-
pioyers, driving out gold and over
throwing our sound financial systern.-

Mr.. Samuel Dickson of Philadelphia,
a lifelong Democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as a presidential
elector on the Democratic ticket. Among
other reasons for his action he gave the
following:
1t is merely ~paltering with the truth
TO pretend TO acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying to make the product Of
a days labor III q silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of a days labor in q gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
of a days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To afiix
an artificial value upon silver ore is a
dishonest ana unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it is done by calling it q legal
tender it is done at the expense of every
class in the community except the money
lenders and the money changers.
With c~urrcncies of different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense Of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than tho
wage Garner 1t was a favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that a high rate of
interest meant a bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is a chance that when he
lends a bar of gold he may be forced to
take payment in a bar of silver, just as
the owner of ii horse will hesitate to
lend it with q chance of being given in
return a sheep or a pig. That is all
there is in ~bimetallism as a practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, SO stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds Of millions Of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west If they
were willing to give back what they got.

American Dollar. In Mexico.

A man may get a meal, and when he
pnts down an American dollar in pay
ment will get back as change a Mexican
dollar, which contains six grains more
silver than our own. He gets a demon
stration of the fact that it is the credit
of our government which keeps the sill
yer dollar afioat at AZ cents more than
its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at an equality with a gold
dollar. Free, unlimited and ~independ-
ent coinage at Is to 1" would mean
dollars worth even less than Mexican
silver dollars.

Free Coinage Men Not R-imetalllsss.

Senator Teller calls himself a BIZ
metallist. he defines bimetallism as
''the equal treatment of both gold and
silver at the minis"
Senator Teller is a silver monometal.
list, and SO are all advocates of free
coinage at 16 to /. They do net ask
equal" but unequal treatment of gold
and silver at the minis. All that the
mint does with gold is TO stamp upon it
the certificate of its value. 1t stamps 25
$40 grains of gold Of standard ineness
as a dollar. The metal is worth a dollar
before it is stamped. 1t Is worth a dol
lar if melted in the pct. 1t will bring a
dollars worth of value in either shape
anywhere in the world.
What the free coinage men ask is that
the government shall stamp 412R
grains of silver of standard flneness as
q dollar under the arbitrary and obsolete
ratio of 16 to 1. But this silver is worth
only 90 cents. 1t will sell for only So
cents if melted. 1t will not pass for a
dollar in the markets Of the world, ey-
cept to be sent back here, where its legal
tender quality and the policy of the
government to make it exchangeable for
gold keep it current at it's face value.
In asking this unfair and dishonest
advantage for silver Mr.. Teller there
fore demands unequal treatment for the
metals. And as free coinage Of either
metal at a false ratio has everywhere
and always driven the more valuable
coin out of circulation, it would inevi-
tally precipitate this country to q silver
basis. making silver the only money of
redemption and silver or silver notes the
only money in use.
The free coinage men are therefore
not bimetallists, but silver monometal-
lists. They are contractionists. They
would make money scarcer instead of
more plentiful, poorer Instead of better.
