Things Might Be Far Worse.
It is frequent excuse of unthinking
men for leaning toward free silver that
things can't be worse than they now
are"
This is a mistake. Matters can be
very much worse. especially for the
workingmen.
First-They would be worse If wages
were paid in 53-cent dollar or in a
dollar worth less than 100 cents. How
ever it may be with mine owners and
mortgage debtors, men whose capital is
their labor are not interested in having
the purchasing power of their dollar
diminished.
Second-Things would be made
worse for the 1872. 1882 savings bank
depositors in this state alone if their
s715,032, 1899 of savings were made pay
able in deprecated dollars.
Tihrd-Things would be worse for
the nearly 100000 pensioners If their
monthly stipend were to be paid in So
cent dollars.
Fourth-Things would be worse for
all the millions of beneficiaries Of
stock, mutual and cooperative insur-
ance companies and all the LAS, 725
shareholders in building and loan asso-
Citations If payment were to be made

A discussion in some European
papers of the question as to whether
widows should marry again has
brought out the statistician with some
more or less interesting figures. Ac-
cording to NJ. Morselli, who is an au-
thority on the subject. out Of 365 men
who committed suicide in Italy, 100
were married, los were bachelors and
157 were widowers. In France it is
among the widowers that suicide finds
the most victims. AS regards married
women, out of every 100 who commit
suicide in Italy and France the ma
joriy are widows. In France the num-
Der of widows who commit suicide is
twice as great as that of women whose
husbands are living. From these sta
tistics NJ. Morselli concludes that
widows and widowers are far more
likely to be driven to despair and death
than other men and women, and thu
therefore, it is the duty Of society to
encourage them to marry again. On
the other hand. NJ. G. Labadie-La-
statistics. THE conclusions arrived
at" he says, seem to me very much
exaggerated. If SO many widows are
unable to support the burdens of life.
it is not chagrin at the loss of their
husbands which drives them to COM
NIT suicide. but rather anxiety as to
how they shall support themselves and
their children. And it is very prob
able that the reason why they remain
widows is not because they desire to
remain true to their husbands, but Re-
cause they cannot find men who nre

As for the blackheads, they may be
steamed out with water as hot as can
be borne. Then use little cold cream
to keep the skin smooth. 1t is one of
the important parts of the process to

Getting Rich In Their Minds.

The silverites who are dreaming Of
great wealth to be had for everybody
through the simple process Of calling
80 cents q dollar should wake up long
enough to ask themselves this ques-
ton:
IF dollars worth of property
means a certain quantity of labor
products, would there be any more Of
these products for the men who want
them If we say that the same amount
of property is worth 81? In other
words. does an increase in the prices
Of goods mean an increased quantity
Of goods?"
BY the way they have thought out
an answer to this question the victims
Of the is to delusion win be able to
see that, though they might legislate
that every dollars worth of products
should be worth 100 times as much, the
only change would be in the minds Of
the men who made the law. Dreams Of
great riches are mighty poor substi-
tutes for solid labor products.

SIMPLE SUMS FOR slLvERlrEs.

Problems Which Can Easily Be 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 l
he might get $1,000 for his wheat, but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
buy. How much would the farmer
gain from cheap money scheme which
doubled the price of the things he gets
In exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law Of 1890 pro-
vfded for the purchase by government
of 100000 ounces of silver per
year. Under the operation of that law
the price of silver, after short specu-
lative rise, fell steadily from $1.16 to
70 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 workingman 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
ard and kept on a parity with gold
by our laws. This 81 will buy a
relatively large quantity of necessities.
II 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 a policy
which would cut the purchasing power
of wages in two.
An investor having money to lend
was approached by farmer who
wanted loan for the purpose of buy
ing new implements, additional stock
and some fertilizers. IF you will let
me have $500 on the security of my land
and buildings" said the farmer, Il
will vote for a free silver law which
will enable me to pay you back next
year in dollars worth just half of
those you lend me-" State how much
money that investor loaned the farm
er, also the rate of interest paid.
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?
If the sound money vote in Vermont
increases the republican majority from
81 900 in 1892 to $4,000 this year, how
long will it take the 16 to 1 issue to
wipe out the entire democratic vote in
that state? WHIDDEN GRAHAM.

Hints for - Household.

A good punch bowl, with ones mono
gram in diamonds and rubies, is con-
sidered nowadays an absolute essential
to every woman's happiness.
Anything with a meringue over It
should be put in cool oven and al
lowed to brown slowly if you wish to
have it light. A strong heat toughens
meringues.
In making a salad of fish, il you add
little cucumber pickle. chopped very
fine, to the dish before the dressing
is poured over you will greatly i'm
prove it.

soaked for picking it will help keep

CAT THE PULPIT.

but the proud pussy ignored them and
with stately dignity climbed up into
the pulpit and sat on the bible When
the pastor came in a moment later he
found the cat in possession of the pull
pit, but the animal took kindly 70 the
preacher and began to purr and arch
his back at the latter's approach.
The pastor took the cat by the back
of the neck and handed it down to AN

church. This is good omen, breth-
ren," said the pastor and then he went
on and preached his sermon.

Captain E. Moss, who recently re-

tells this story of the monkeys who
work for him in the mines: Il have
twenty-four monkeys" said he, "em-
ployed about my mines. They do the
work of seven able-bodied men, and 1t
is no reflection upon the human la
borers to say that they do class of
work man cannot do as we'll as they.
In many instances they lend valuable
aid where a man is useless. They
gather up the small pieces Of quartz
that would be passed unnoticed by the
workingman, and pile them up in little
heaps that can easily be gathered up
in a shovel and be thrown in the mill.
They are exceedingly adept at catching
the little particles, and their sharp eyes
never escape the very things that the
human eye would pass over. When I
went digging gold had two monkeys
that were exceedingly interesting pets.
They were constantly following me
about the mines, and one day l noticed
that they were busily engaged in gath
ering up little bits Of quartz and put
ting them in piles. They seemed to en-
Joy the labor very much, and would 60

there during the day. 1t did not take
me long to learn their value as laborers,
and l decided to procure more. So
Immediately procured a number, and
now have two dozen working daily in
and about the mines. 1t is exceedingly
interesting to watch my two pet mon
keys teach the new ones how to work,
and still stranger to see how the new
corners take to 1t. They work just as
they please, sometimes going down in
to the mines when they have cleared up
all the debris on the outside. They live
and work together without quarrelling
any more than men do. They are quite
