This question is put TO the Philadelphia
Inquirer:
you say that the silver dollar is worth
| but 50 cents. How comes it, thon, that
Can buy one hundred cents worth Of pro-
| visions with it?"
1t is astonishing what an immense
amount OF Ignorance prevails upon this
| silver question. The most Intelligent of
men apparently do not understand it. We
/ must deal in primary lessons. There is
nothing simpler than the marbles which
all men, as boys, have played with Let
us get back to marbles.
Tho standard money of tho commercial
world is gold. Now suppose the Govern
ment of the United States to say:
"All money is based np)n the gold unit.
We will back your marbles with gold
These marbles in themselves are worth al
mos. nothing, but if you will use them
for money tho government will redeem
them in gold, one dollar for every marble
What then? Marbles would pass as
money. Why? Because everybody would
know that while in reality they w9re worth
very little the gold reserve and the credit
Of The national government were back of
them. Just so long as this credit was ac-
ccpLnd marbles woull pass AS current
money. But suppose marble factories to
start up in every ciUy Suppose the supply
Of marbles to become unlimited. What
would be the result9 Some ono in II panic
would raise the Cry: "The government
cannot make good its promises. 1t has
been swampcd 1t cannot redeem these
marbles in gold"
Does it require any great amount of in.
telligcncc to understand what would hap
pen? With the Government credit gono
marbles would sink to their market value
us chlldren's toys
1t is exactly the same with silver We
are coming into dollars flfty.thrce cents
worth of silver and forty-seyon cents
worth Of confidence in the government.
Give us free silvcr-an unlimited number
of those silver dollars in which silver is
based with credit and confldence-andt tho
government no longer can maintain those
sO'called dollars at par any moro than it
could maintain almost worthless marbles
Destroy credit and the silver dollar sinks
to its market value US bullion, now about
SO cents.
This is the sum and substance of the
silver question, and it is rs easy to under
stand as the a, b, o's of the alphabet.

He Enjoyed the ROnst.

The scholar in politics has some odd
experiences and is in a position to get
lots of fun out Of them. Charley
Hoyt, the playwright, is a member of
the New Hampshire legislature. Talk
ing in Boston the other night, he re-
lated an incident hat took place in his
political career. He said that he never
made, to his knowledge, more than
me successful speech, and that was
when he vas e%ndeavoring to get a
certain measure calling for a large ap-
preparation through the house. Action
had been delayed as long as possible,
but when the time came a bright
young lawyer opposed the measure, at
lacking Mr.. Hoyt in a most savage
ann and making many personal
illusions. Mr.. Hoyt responded very
briefly, but the attack had been so
fierce as to arouse sympathy, and the
measure was carried. Meeting n Of
his colleagues the next day, Mr.. HOyt
was asked what action he was going
to take about the abusive speech.
"Why, nothing" responded Mr.. Hoyt.

Hints.

To roast small birds, fasten the head
under the wings. Lay Il thin slice of
pork on the breast of each bird. and
a piece of bread underneath. Roast in
a hot oven.
In washing grained woodwork. use
clear water or weak, cold tea. Where
there are tlnger-marks to be removed,
such as around the door-knob or on the
w%indow-sill, a little fine soap may he
used. but only just enough to do the
work, for soap should not be used on
this woodwork if it can be avoided.
1t is not necessary to have fresh and
green things for all salads. The cold
cooked vegetables may be utilized
asparagus tops, peas, beans, cold pOta-
toes and beetS cut in cubes. or any of
them, mixed together with Il few ca
pers and sliced olives. This dish, for
any salad, should be rubbed inside
with d raw onion.
Furs will be much improved if they
are cleaned with bran heated in the
oven. Rub the hot bran well into the
fur with q piece of flannel, then shake
the fur to remOye all particles, and
brush thoroughly. Fur collars that
have become soiled from rubbing
/ against the hair may be made to look
like new by using hot bran on them.
Apply the bran a second time if the
fur is badly soiled.
A manufacturer of pianos gives the
following method of cleaning Il reese
wood or ebony piano case: Make Il
suds of white CASTLE soap and luke
warm water: dampen Il soft sponge
with this and wash the surface of the
wood, one side at a time; take a small
brush for the keys, and wipe them off
afterward with alcohol and Il soft
cloth.
A nutritious article of diet for sick
children may be made us follows:
Put on the fire Il pint of milk and
stir into it a tablespoonful of ground
rice and a little sugar: let it boil: draw
1t to one side and allow the whole to
simmer for quite half an hour. Strain
it through a sieve and serve either
hot or cold. If the child is GONZALES
cent, a pleasant addition will be some
pieces of candied lemon peel, boiled
: with the milk"

NATURE AS A CHrLD's TEACHER
Rain in the City is Only Wetness
HrOken LOOae.


Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, ID. d.,
writes upon Memories Of Our Child
hood Homes" in Ladies' Home Jour
nal, and emphasizes the necessity of
surrounding children with bright pic
lures and CHEEKY furnishings, as the
mental photographs they make In
early years art the ones that neve
fade, but last and remain vivid al
through life. Nature, too, has a Dig
part to play in the teachings of the
youth. at takes a good deal TO make
a good home writes a forceful icader
and teacher. at needs something even
beside 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 DIS
tinctly 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 playrooln for
the eyes as well as for the feet. A
wide range of solemn woods will do
more for a child in a week than vel
low bricks and dirty paving stones
will do for him in a year, or ever do
for him. 1t is a good thing for Il child
to grow up within earshot of Il bah
bling brook. There is a kind of mu-
sicalness of spirit that will become
his in thai way hat he will never be
able to acquire from Il piano teacher
or Il fiddling master. This wide range
of prospect will also companion him
with the bright and the more earnest
moods of the great mother earth on
whose bosom he is being n~Ourished.
He will have oDDOrtUnity TO see the
days brighten in the east in the morn
ing. and his soul will unccnsciously
absorb some of the glory of the set
ting sun. Children in the city hardly
ever see the sun come up or go down.
1t simply grows light about the time
they have to get up and grows dark
a dozen or SO hours later. To a child
in the country there is likewise oppor-
tunity for him to see it rain. There
is a great difference between rain and
falling water. Rain in the city is only
wetness broken loose, and is calcu-
lated only in terms of street cleaning
and aqueduct supply. A square mile
of rain or a dozen square miles Is a
different matter, and Is unconsciously
construed by the child as being a
mood of Natures mind rather than a
~hydropathic uncorking. Still more i'm
pressive upon the child's mind are the
strange communications made to MIN
by the lightning flashing above him
across a hundred miles Of country
sky, and the weird aurora and the
swift and blazing track Of failing
stars that make him feel how sol

Not on the Shelf,


One of the greatest mistakes in life
is that of a woman's sitting down
when she has passed the meridian of
years and quietly waiting for death.
1t may be exceedingly pretty, and
quite like the action of some sweet old
story, the patient waiting with pale
face and placid smile and folded
hands, playing in a way the part of
the old lares and penates beside the
fire: but there are much more effective
parts than that of a statue il a niche,
and there seems to be no real reason
for going into the grave before it is
ready for us.
1t is not, however, very long since
this attitude was thought the proper
thing for the elderly. Women with
gray hair not only hid it with wig or
cap, or both. but hid and effaced them
selves as well. Age was unlovely, they
said, and so they put it out of sight. as
far as they could, by clinging to the
chimney-corner. OF course they are
useful there; the grandmother, the old
aunt, is useful everywhere; and of
course they were in the way of per-
fecting character and of becoming
saints through sacrifice and renuncia-
ton. But they did not have much
very vivid employment. What enjoy
ment they did have was chiefly vicar
ious-ioy at seeing and knowing the
JOY Of others.
1t is fortunate for ONE of advane-
ing years that nowadays public opin-
ion has changed, and that 1t Is expect
ed hey shall form Il part of society
and of all the pleasures of society.

engaged in various public and semi
public work; they are actively inter-
ested in charities; they are not de-
prived of any invitation because Of
their years; and the value of their
wisdom and mellowed experience is az
fully acknowledged as the value Of
youth and sparkle and beauty.
1t is a pleasant sight o in all the
country towns where the trolley car
has penetrated to see these rather ell
derby women taking their rides; to see
their pleasure in what would have
been considered by their grandmothers
q wild abandonment; to see them do
ing their own shopping in all places,
attending to their check-books and
bank accounts, when they have such
articles, by no means relinquishing
their rights in church management,
| their interest in public questions and
following or adopting the fashions to
| such an extent as they please.-Har-

rails are, in the first place, electrically
connected so as to insure perfect cleo
trical continuity, each rail, however,
being, as far as possible, insulated
from the other. In order to effect this
the rails are at their point of. juno
ton electrically bonded, or connected,
together. The warning apparatus con-
sists of two electromagnetic or coils,
which, by the aid of levers, operate
the whistle or automatic brake. Placed
Iii connection with these are three gal
vaDometers, II to indicate if the cur
rent is flowing; the others to indicate
to the driver whether OF not he is in
the vicinity of danger. AS the trains
approach each other the current trav-
ersing the rails is augmented. and the
~galvanometer shows not only the d.
rection in which the train is approach
ing but the approximate distance 1t Is
off. 1t is said that a warning can be
thus conveyed a distance Of 900 to
1000 meters, and that the system is
applicable to the operation Of gates at
level crossings or signals. This APP
paratus certainly has excellent theo-
retical points, but whether it can be
made strong enough to withstand the
very rough treatment to which it
would be subjected on a locomotive
engine has yet to be determined.
There is no doubt the indicators on
the galvanometer would be liable to
great fluctuations. due to the loss of
current and variable connections,
which conditions are exceedingly try
ing to delicate instruments.

Communication Between Moving
Trains.

The latest addition to the list of de-
vices designed for increasing the safe
ty of railway travelling is an lnven-
ton of NJ. de la Touche, the engineer
of the Western railway of France.
This apparatus is intended to ecure
communication between trains. the OBJ
iect being to ureserve a given and
suitable space between those travel
ipg on the same pair of rails. The
