Remedy and the many good recon-

in its results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. 1t acted like magic and the
result was speedy and permanent

THE EXACT SITUATION.

Free Silver.

What Labor1ng Men Want is Work NOT
Free Silver.
This is pointer on the labor situa-
ton. A contractor was approached by
a street railway magnate in Chicago
and asked if he could have 300 men at
Lyons, suburb, the following day, to
go to work on new line. The con-
tractor said he would think about it,
The magnate replied that he wanted
no thinking, he wanted the men. The
contractor said he would try to muster
the men in time. The magnate was
not satisfied with that, but insisted
that the contractor should positively
have the men on the spot at the ap-
pointed time without any conditions in
the proposition. The contractor then
agreed to have the men at the place
and at the time designated. He pro-
ceeded to gather the force, and found
that he could get 5000 as easily as 800,
with no question asked by any of them
about wages. He said that he believed
he could muster an army of 100000 by
simply giving out the word that he
wanted that many. This incident IL
Illustrates the fact that there is vast
number of common laborers out of en-
ployment, reinforced by numerous peo-
pie who are skilled in some depart
,ment. Each one of these many idle
men are smaller consumers than they
would be if they had work and wages.
Their idleness helps to make hard
times for the manufacturer and trades

Problems Which Can Easily He Figured
Out by Voters
A farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat, for which he now gets $500.
With that money he buys various
kinds of manufactured goods at low
prices. With free coinage at Is to /
he might get $1,000 for his wheat, but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
gain from cheap money scheme which
doubled the prise of the things he gets
In exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law of 1890 pro
vided for the purchase by government
of 100000 ounces of silver per
year. Under the operation of that law
the price of silver, after short speeu
lative rise, fell steadily from $1.16 to
e cents per ounce. If the purchase
and storage of practically the entire
American production of silver could
not prevent its price from falling, what
reasons are there for believing that
the mere act of coming silver into
dollars and returning them to the
owners of the bullion will double the
price Of all the silver in the world?
A wOrkingInan who depends for his
livelihood On the sale of his labor to
an employer is now paid 81 per day
in currency based on the gold stand

by our laws. This 81 will buy a
relatively large quantity of necessities.
If this country adopts free coinage and
goes on to a silver basis, 50 will buy
only one-half as much of the goods
the Workingman needs. Show how la
Dor would be benefited by policy
which would cut the purchasing power
of wages in two.
An investor having money to lend
was approached by a farmer who
wanted loan for the purpose of buy

and some fertilizers. eff you will let

A large number of persons who
complained that they were poor de-
cided to enact laws which would make
them all rich. AS their poverty con-
sisted in the lack of food, clothes,
furniture, houses and other forms of
wealth, they agreed that instead of
producing the things they needed they
would set men to work digging silver,
which they did not need, out of the
Rocky mountains. By so doing they
expected that the supply of other la
Dor products would in some mysterious
way be increased. How much is twice
nothing, and how will the changing of
silver bullion into coins make more
houses, machinery or beef?

The Awful Result of Servant Girl Seeing
a Little Mouse.

The southern part of the city, or at
least seven blocks of it was thrown in
to the widest paroXysm of excitement
about Z o'clock last evening. Hun
dreds of people rushed from their
houses. Some yelled " murder" some
shouted, "turn in the patrol alarm, :"
others wanted the ire department
called out. No one knew exactly what
he did want, but all felt that some
thing awful had happened, tor Oh the
cool night air had been borne the wild,
thrilling scream Of Il woman, scream
that was torn from her lips in the very
agony Of despair. The crowd moved,
by common impulse to the house
from whence the dying shrek had
seemed to come. They could see that
all was excitement within. The crowd
pressed nearer to the door, then rushed
in. Then came the hurried eXplana-
tions. The servant girl was in the
kitchen, when looking down, she saw
a mouse. Then she gave forth that
blood curdling shrek that had aroused
the neigbbors for blocks around. A
rush was made for the kitchen, and
there lifeless she lay.
The girl?
No, the mouse! And the crowd
moved Exchange.

NOrWaY Spruce.

The Norway spruce has been dis seminated throughout the world. It has been a matter of interest to en- deavor to find fine specimens of this tree in it's native habitat, but the search has been in vain. Nowhere do they attain the size or the beauty that we have them in America. In regions where the timber has been cut, we do not expect much in the second growth, but there are immense tracts from which the lumber cannot be removed to any market; but there the trees merely look old without having attained great size or remarkable beauty. The Nor way maple is very fine. but nowhere better than it is seen in America. Quite singularly, it's foliage is largest and finest in the far North. The birch is found everywhere, and is the only tree in the more northern regions. The northernmost forest in the world is said to be one on the Lofoten Islands. The North Cape region is treeless. But nowhere does the birch attain the size we sometimes see on our side of the Atlantic.-Cor. Albany Cultivator.

A Texas Swing.

Mir. R. B. Zimmerman, of Warren, has what is probably the highest swing in Texas. The frame is made of pine logs Seventy-eight feet long, which are set in the ground eight feet, making the swing seventy feet high. The cross piece is six by six inches, heart, and IS fastened to the top of the upright pieces in such way as to be as strong as 1T the frame was all of one piece. On the north side of the swing is pole forty two feet high, at the top of which is q pulley. The person who wishes to swing is strapped in, if he or she de- sires. and then takes hold of one end of the rope, the other end of which is run through the pulley and fastened to a team of horses. The horses are started off and the swinger is pulled to the top of the pole. When the top IS reached he drops the rope and is at once launched into space, sometimes go- ing as high as 100 feet on the opposite side from the pole. One turn at the swing is generally enough to satisfy one for that evening. Since the erec- ton of the swing MT. Zimmerman's house has become a resort every even ing for the young people of Warren, and parties frequently come from Fly att and other neighboring towns to en- ioy an evening in "the sWing."-DallaS News.

The Knife He Wanted.

The Worcester Gazette tells this story on the authority of John E. Russell, whose father was a manufacturer of cutlery: Having occasion to travel on the Mississippi river occasionally, the latter became very well acquainted with the captain of one of the steamers. One day the captain asked MT. Russell if he would make knife for him. "Whv, yes; what kind of knife?' was the an- swer. ''I want good stout handle with a spring in it, so the blade won't give, !" explained the captain. ''I'd little rather have the blade ground on both edges. And I don't want one of those crosspieces, or guards, or whatever they call them. I want a knife can stick into a man and twist 1t and when pull it out it won't catch on his blamed galluses. ''

The Greek Die.

The gold or silver blank, carefully weigh
ed and roughly forged, was heated to red
moss and laid by tongs on the do. Tho
top was then adjusted and the impression
made by mighty blows with a smiths
hammer. As no collar WAS used, and all
register neglected, the shape-but not the
weight-of each coin varied. Parts of the
device were often lost Sometimes the edge
of the metal cracked, and very frequently
the impression doubled. Later on u hinged
adjustment of the dies was used. Greek
dies were not made Of steel, but Of harden
ed bronze. They soon wore and needed
continual restoration and deepening. Tho
die soulptors were therefore constantly at
work on them.
Careful examination shows that the dies
were mostly cut with wheel, like gems,
not with craving tools. This retouching
Of the matrices explains the numerous
