Ny suit progressed favorably, till
the advent of Don Manuel Hernandez,
a young stranger who came from Rio,
bearing with him the highest creden-

Life in the Polar Regions.

Some curious details of life in the
polar regions have been obtained from
members of the Nansen expedition.
They all dwell on the feelings of de-
light which they experienced in once
more meeting other human beings.
So tired did they become of seeing the
same faces and hearing the same voices
day after day in the course of the
slow drift northward that in the end a
feeling of irritability was produced.
At times this irritability became we'll
nigh insupportable. Finding it almost
impossible to endure the sight of
one another, they would set off on
long walks over the ice, each man by
himself. 1t was an astounding thing,
one man said, to see his comrades

ship, each III different direction, and
carefully avoiding his fellows

] desire 10 known what relations exist
between the coinage Of silver, free or
otherwise. and the price Of wheat or
any other article on the markets OF the

coinage OF silver affect the intrinsic value

LynchDurg, Va. j. y. Il.
The two great staples Of the United
States are measured by silver. An ounce
OF silver viii always buy a bushel Of
wheat or nine and a half pounds OF cot
ton. The price OF American wheat at
Liverpool. where 1t competes with India
wheat. governs the price IN New York.
Say silver IL s. cents an ounce in this
country. England buys It at that and
buys India wheat with 1t, and that would
keep the price OF American wheat at G.
cents. il England had 70 pay 81 an ounce,
the India wheat would cost her 81 and
wheat in the United States would be 81
II there were the demand Tor silver that
free coinage would create. it would soon
