represent the great silver trust.
The silver trust represents over $780,
100000. That is an immense sum oil
money, and if the power of wealth is as
great as it is said to be, the silver mine
owners should be able to manipulate
the market to some degree to their own
advantage. Their power is concentrated,
and back of them would be the inn
mense power of the great silver inter-
ests of the world. Yet this immense
power cannot prevent the fall in the
price of the white metal.
Wheat, however, goes up. Responsive
to that memorable law against which no
human will or combination can prevail,
the price advances. In the fluctuation
of the price of the wheat and silver, the
intelligent observer sees the whole phil.
osophy of the operation of the laws of
value.

THE DIVINE NAME.
The Inerabie Word That Is Never Spoken
by Many IsraeIites.

The InerabIe Word That Is Never Spoken
by Many Israeiites.
Rev. DIR. Wise, president of the He
brew Union college at Cincinnati, has
given his view of the ancient Jewish
rendering of the name of the Deity, re-
ports the New York Sun. He says that
the term Jehovah" the ineGable tetra-
grammaton, is never pronounced by
many Israelites. They use the word
"Adonoi," which signifies 1.-The Lord"
The translators of the Bible followed
this custom, rendering the word ''Je-
hovah" rs Lord" In ancient times
the Pharisees replaced the tetragram-
maton by Shem; they used "Shemo,"
which is also Biblical, as the sacred
name, and this name is yet retained, to
some extent, among the Jews. But it
would appear from passages in the
Psalms that Adonoi, or Lord, for Je-
hovah was more ancient even than the
times of the Pharisees. 1t thus occurs
eight times in Psalm lxxxiv. 1t also p
pears in the book of Exodus where ",Ie
Hebrew. This substitution would
seem to be older than any other. and it
is yet common among all Jews.
DIR. Wise says he has found that the
ancient TRANSACTIONS testify in favor of
"Adonoi."
Looking at the English translation
of the Old Testament it wiz be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis, Exodus. Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New

CLIMATE AND CHARACTER.
National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
tnre of the Weather.

National Traits Often Nodded by the Ma
ture of the Weather.
The civil war is said to have been
caused by difference in climate, and
the question is now being discussed
whether n hot or cold climate has the
greatest effect OF national character.
1t has been widely believed that Sc
we're climate produces the greatest ef-
feet, because it compels effort and self
denial, and thus promotes energy and
inventiveness, says the New York Jour
nal.
1t would also seem that the influence
of climate upon the national character
has been greatly exaggerated. AS
syria, Babylonia, Egypt and Carthage,
situated in hot ATTITUDES, were among
the most masterful nations of antiq-
uity. Mohammed and his conquering
legions issued from the burning wilder
ness of Arabia, and at n later period his
successors were able to beat back the
repeated attacks of the combined cru
sailing nations from the north.
The greatness of a nation depends
mainly upon intellectual and moral
qualities, and these have often been
conspicuously developed among the in
habitants of hot climates. 1t is i'm
portant, too, to remember that the
same nation, occupying the same re-
gion. may be great and powerful in one
age and weak and contemplate in an
other. The difference between the an
Client Greeks, Romans and Saracens, on
the one hand, and their modern de-
scendants on the other. cannot have
been due to climate.

A SILVER STANDARD.
WHAT the Eject Would BE II Bryan Were


Elected.
Let us see what the immediate effect
OF the election of Mr.. Bryan would be,
so ia as our stock of money is con-
eerned. We now have in circulation, in
round numbers. 5000. GOO. 900 in gold and
gold certificates, $3.50, 000, OO0 in silver
and silver certificates and $500, 200. 900
In United States notes, national bank
notes and other forms OF paper. This
gives us a circulating medium of about
81, 500. 900. 900 based on gold standard,
with every dollar as good as every other
dollar and every dollar as good as gold
dollar.
With free coinage of silver the pur-
chasing value of every dollar will drop
at once to the bullion value of the sill
yer in the silver dollar, that being
then the standard, just as now every
dollar stands at the bullion value of
the gold dollar, it being the standard.
The bullion value of silver may advance
n little for time, just as it did after the
passage of the Sherman law in 1890,
but the increased production of silver
which such an advance would bring
about, would soon drive it down again
perhaps lower than now.
The $600,O0O.000 in gold and gold GER
tificates would go out of circulation at
once. That would go into permanent
hiding since no one would be foolish
enough TO pay debt with gold dol
lar worth as much as two silver dol
lars, when the law gives the silver dol
lar the same legal tender power. This
would contract our circulating cur
rency by little more than one-third.
Silver then being the standard of value,
the purchasing power of every dollar
and of every paper dollar not redeem
able in gold would decline 10 the value
of the bullion in the silver dollar. This
would contract the purchasing power
of the rest of the currency left in Cir
culation by about one half.
The first effect of Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton, therefore, would be to contract
the purchasing power of our circulat-
ing medium from 100000 as at
present, to about S500,000.000. Every
man of intelligence knows the panic,
ruin and commercial disaster which
would be sure TO follow. Mr.. Bryan
himself knows it; for at Ackley. Ia.
he admitted that the first effect of the
success of the free coinage demand
would be to bring on a panic. How
long would such a panic last? viii it
be one year or five years? No man can
answer. 1t would last until all bust
ness engagements would become adj

COSTLY WOODS IN new YORK.
Small Piles of Lumber Worth $4,000
and More Value of a Log.

Small Piles of Lumber Worth $4,000
and More-yaiue of a Log.
Lying in some of the great lumber
yards of New York and only showing
their value to the experts and the in
itiated ones are heaps of rare and costly
woods, some from the countries of the
equator, others cut from American for
ests. In one single lumber yard it IS
no uncommon thing to see stock that
is valued at $4,000 or more. In one
block near the east river front there
is often 81, O00, 900 worth piled up in the
air or under the cover of rough sheds.
There are several hundred varieties
of fine woods brought each year into
New York, but of these only few are
known to commerce to any extent. Ma
hogany, French burl, rosewood. curly
ash, American quartered oak, figured
birch, black walnut, Circassian walnut
and satinwood are the fancy timber
varieties that sell the best, their prices
running from three to ten cents foot
for veneers. These figures give no ade-
quate conception of values, until they
are examined carefully. But the calcu-
lation is simple one. a veneer is thin
cut DOIAh
chine, so veneers being allowed to each
board of an inch thickness, the boards
of these costly woods running about
Two feet in width. AS a rule these
boards are eight 70 ten feet long, and
thus a single veneer of mahogany two
feet wide and ten feet i'm length is worth,
by itself, from so cents TO one dollar. y
double row of these yeneers piled up
Eve feet h Oh is worth easily $1,000.
These veneers, stacked up in piles in
the sheds, are so brittle that the only
way of shipping them to furniture and
piano manufacturers is to pack them in
cases. a case usually holds 500 sheets,
or from $500 to $500 worth, and is so
heavy that the strength of from four to
six men, with rollers, is necessary to
get il upon n truck.
Even unvarnished and unpublished as
these rare woods are in the rough, the
patterns are easily visible and the de.
signs and veining are very beautiful
Nearly all these woods are sold in ven.
GERS, for two reasons: first, they are too
costly to use solidiy, and second, they
all have a tendency to warp. Next in
popularity to mahogany comes Ameri-
can figured walnut, from Kentucky,
West Virginia, Tennessee and the west
ern part of North Carolina. The finest
logs of this timber are to be found on
the slopes of the Blue Ridge and Cum
berland mountains. SO important is
it to get woods of fine patterns that
the leading walnut dealers inspect the
trees themselves before they are cut
down. They employ experienced woods
men to search over the whole region
where the best walnut lies for months
at time, and then, the finest trees hav-
ing been marked, the dealers leave the
city and travel through the woods on
horseback themselves, selecting the
most valuable trees, afterward buying
them from the farmers or the owners
of the land.-N. Y. Tribune.
