FABLE OF THE SPARROW.
Man Would Become More Beautiful In
Old Age IL He Lived Natural Life.

The plain looking but very intelligent
little mother sparrow having made an un-
usually early call upon her friend, the
man, was surprised, on entering the room
through the partly closed shutters, to fiud
him taking bath in warm milk instead
of water.
"Oh, beg pardon for the intrusion"
said the sparrow, turning quickly to go
away.
"Wait, replied the man. Don't apollo
gize. Old friends like us need not stand on
ceremony. I am always glad to see you.
What can l do for you or tell you this
morning."
"Thank you for your Kindness" said
the sparrow. II came for little visit
only, but since my untimely arrival has
shown me something new in baths hope
you won't mind my asking why you pre-
fer milk to water?"
81 will tell you with pleasure, answer
ed the man. "Um--just look at the house
maid over the way, the one who destroyed
your nest for you. DO you observe that
there is faint resemblance between her
and the thin, brow faced old woman beside
here"
"Ye-e-s, a faint resemblance, " answered
the sparrow, eJmewhat doubtfully.
"All right. The old woman Is the girls
mother-I know her, for she is my laun-
dress. The thin, haggard mother was no
doubt at one timc round and plump and
rosy checked and-well, very like her
daughter is now but old age is telling on
her rapidly, and she is no longer charming
to the eye. Now, the learned members of
my race have discovered that baths Of
warm milk taken at proper intervals keep
the skin soft and volvety-stay the hand Of
time for space, as l may say. So 1 use
the milk bath. OF course 1t is only a
makeshift / must become like the old
woman eventually, for natures laws are
not to be evaded for any length of time,
and 1t is an inexorable law of nature that
everything must fade and wither as old
age comes on. Do you understand that"
"No, l do not" replied the sparrow,
"and If you will pardon the presumption
of one of the lower order of animals I
should like TO ask how IL hyppens that you
never saw either the beauty Of well ripened
fruit or the glories Of forest clothed in
ripenee foliage? New York sun.

FALSE OR FOOLISH.
Bryan Is One or tho Other In Ills Prsdic.
tlons About Gold.

Bryan Is Ono or tho Other In Ills Prsdic-
tions About Gold.
IL Mr.. Bryan continues TO allow his
rhetorical powers to have full swing, he
will make so many false statements be-
fore election day that his present sobri-
quet will be exchanged for that of "the
Boy Ananias. I"
His recent assertion that "if we have
gold standard prices will go down" is
one of those statements which are as
close to q direct falsehood as anything
in the nature Of prediction can be. If
Mr.. Bryan consulted statistics, which
are readily accessible, he would find
that tho facts inoontrovertibly disprove
his statement.
The gold standard went into effect In
1879 by the resumption Of specie pay
ments. In that year the average export
price of wheat was sl07 In 1880 it
was $l.25; in 1881, Sill; in 1882,
sl.19 in 1883, 81. 13; in 1884, $l.07.
In 1879 the export price of cotton was
Tin round figures) 8 cents. In the six
years following it ranged from 10 TO IL.
1t was 10 again in 1890 and 1891, just
as wheat was 81. o3 again in 1892. The
export price Of butter was 3 cents higher
in 1894 than in 1879, and that Of cheese
nearly cent higher. Wages also ad-
vanced after 1879 till free trade doc
trines and Democratic tariff impaired
the confidence of capital and blighted
our prosperity.
Mr.. Bryan knows he is falsitying, or
he is not sufficiently acquainted with
the facts of our economic history TO pose
as an adviser Of the people. He must
accept one horn Of the dilemma. -Bos-
ton Traveller.

tion has actually increased our national
debt more than s262, 600, 600, and the pres

annual deficit and maturing bonds are
only met by new issues of bonds. it do es
seem that little business qualification
should some way be obtained for the
emergency and that the lamentable condi-
tion OF the revenues Is very live issue.
There were three possible ways to
straighten things out, but as the income
tax Is declared to be unconstitutional,
only two remain. A direct tax would be
the most unpopular scheme that could be

then, remains the only practicable or

bill was the Wilson tariff bill, with its
abominable device OF ad valorem duties

the cheap wages OF the foreign employees.
Our mill owners not plainly seeing how
they can get back a new dollar for an old

Useful Tullers.

Great quantities o. buttons, as we'll az
billiard balls, are now made from potatoes
IL is not generally known that if the sub
stance OF the common potato be treated
with certain acids il becomes almost as
hard as stone and can eo used for many
purposes for which horn, ivory and bone
are now employed. This quality of the po-
tato adapts it to button making, and n
very good grade of button Is now made
from the well known tuber. The potato
button cannot bo distinguished from tho
others save by n careful examination and
even then only by an expert, since it can
be colorod to suit the goods on which it is
used. 1t is every whit as good looking as
a button of bone or ivory The cheapness
Is great recommendation and will no
doubt lead to n much larger employment

THE SEPTEMBER STATES.

Within a few days now the first guns
will be fred in the "September States"
Vermont holds its election on Tuesday
OF next week, Arkansas on tho following
Thursday and on Monday, September IA,
Maine has an election for governor, Sec
retary OF state, attorney general and
State treasurer.
1t IS not expected that either OF these
States will present any political turn
overs in the sense that Republican Office
holders in Maine and Vermont will be
displaced by Democrats and in Arkansas,
Democrats by Republicans. But some-
thing in the nature OF political
straws will be afforded by the size of the
respective majorities. Aud more import
ant than any OF the others will be the
figures from Maine, where there are I've
candidates in the field, representing the
Republican party, the honest money

At the State election in Maine in 1894 tho
Republican candidate polled $4,000 votes,
the Democratic candidate 80. 900, the Popu-
list $500 and the Prohi ibitionist 200. Iu the
State election OF 1892 the Repu bhcan
vote was $1,000. the Democratic $1,000,
the Prohlbitionist 500 and the Populist
5000. 1t will be nightly interesting to
read the returns from the struggles of

going on in Maine has been remarkably
active even for that always red-ho State

Honest, Full Value Dollar.
At the recent meeting Of the United
States League of Building Associations
at Philadelphia the following resolu-
tions were adopted amid great enthusi-
asm:
THAT the United States League Of
Building Associations, by its delegates
in convention assembled, declares that
it is the sense of the meeting that the
interests of all shareholders in building
and loan associations demand that the
present standard of value upon which
our monetary system has been based
since the resumption of specie payments
in 1879 shall remain unchanged and
inviolate.
THAT we believe that the interests Of
every class of the community, and ospe-
cially those of the great wage earning
class, imperatively demand that every
dollar in circulation, whether coin or
paper, shall be equal in purchasing
power, and therefore equal in value to
every other.
"That patriotism demands that the
dollar bearing the mint mark of the
United States be the equal Of the dollar
of the most advanced nations of the
world and entitled to full faith and
credit all the world over and TO that
end must be maintained free from all
suspicion Of debasement and repudia-
tion,
