Those who remember time varying prices and
the vagaries of huctuang gold premium realize the
disastrous result of adopting silver standard Not only
would the cost of living be largely increased through
fation, to working people, without compensang rise
in wages, but prices generally would be changeabe

transportation would nearly bring it down to its gold

products have declined price because of the fall in sill
is extremely erroneous. Were that true, premium
on gold would not imitation of prices, because
silver would be the standard The real of the de-
cline in the prices of staples is the cheap labor compet

the decentralization of silver 'struck down" the great
silver industry of the mining States The law of 1873
did not denonetize silver because little was being coined

-FOUR SAILORS CREMATED BY
NATURAL, HEAT.

Uncle Robert William Quimby, of
Lewiston, says that he has travelled
in all the warm countries of the globe
and that he has been in the coolest
attitudes He does not think that we
have such very hot weather. If peo-
pie would make provision for the hot
days as they do in India, he thinks we
should not notice it so much.
But" says he, ''the warmest
weather that 1 ever experienced was
on a small island called Johns Bis
cult, off Cape Gracias, on Honduras.
The Elizabeth Jennings, on which /
sailed in 1870 from Portland, stopped
there for water. and a boats crew
went ashore for it. 1t was a little
volcanic island and awful dry and
hot. We didn't know whether there
would be any water there or not, but
we did find a spring, with a stream as
large as a broom handle pouring out
all the time. And. do you believe
me- the water was dried up and soak
ed I'D before it had run four feet in
the sand. The place was, covered
with dried trees and little distance
away was what looked like hut-a
habitation for man. We went in and
found the shrunken remains of four
men, sailors probably, who had died
in one night, to judge from appear
ances. One was leaning against the
wall in sitting position. There was
dry food on the table, dry meat in a
box and everything was burning dry.
"a letter in the pocket of one man
was dated Liverpool. 1916. and on
the table was a bottle with a note
in it, evidently intended to be cast
adrift. 1t said there were four Eng
fish seamen, marooned by the captain,
left to die. The note was dated 1916,
and I suppose they had been there
dad in that hut for over 80 years, and
they must have died of heat one day
and dried right up. We left them
where we found them"

RICE CULTURE.
One Louisiana Rice Farm Yielded Co.
600 Bushels, Worth 100000.

One Louisiana Rice Farm Yielded Co.
600 Bushels, Worth 100000.
Rice culture in Louisiana is conduct
ed today by three distinct classes Of
settlers-the negroes, the Creole far
mers and the large planters, many of
whom are northern men recently set
tied in the south. The negroes own
few acres of rice land scattered all
through the state, and they conduct
a careless sort of farming, Which
yields them fair returns. AS n rule
they harvest about ten barrels of rice
to the acre, and as five acres are US
ually the largest farm they own, it is
seldom that negro planter sends
more than fifty barrels of rice to mar
ket in one season. The small Creole
farms are much more numrous than
those owned by the negroes, and
they are cultivated more scientitical-
ly. They average between twelve and
fifteen barrels to the acre. During
the four months of winter, when no
work is required in the rice fields, the
Creole farmers and the negro rice
growers work in the sugar houses,
where they earn from $50 to $75 n
month. In the harvesting season of
sugar cane the growers can hardly Sc
cure help enough to do their work,
and there is no reason why anybody
in the state of Louisiana should suf-
fer from the lack of work at such
times.
The large rice planters, who frequent
| " have more than 100 acres planted,
are progressive in their methods, and
they rarely harvest less than fifteen
| to twenty barrels of rice to the acre
on old land, and twenty-five to thirty
barrels from new land. There are
hundreds of instances where thirty
barrels Of rice have been raised to the
acre, and this not on an isolated acre
or two, but on a farm comprising 80
to 100 acres. At Acadia 10000 bar
relse of rice have been harvested from
one farm, and every acre yielded a
high average. The growers count
about three bushels to the barrel,
which makes this yield equal to $780,
900 bushels, which, selling at 81 per
bushel at the shipping point would
make the gross receipts of the farm
100000. But there are few such
plantations in Louisiana, although
there are many half and three-quar-
tiers as large.-New York Evening
Post.
