When He Wrote Them.

Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, had
wonderful memory, and his knowl-
edge Of English literature was so great
that when friend wished to know
where particular passage was to be
found in an English author, he would
go direct to the famous bibliopole.
A good story Is told Of a would-be
wit, thinking to quiz him before a COM
pany at dinner, informed his friends,
previous to Mr.. Fields arrival, that he
had just written7sorne lines which he
intended to submit to. him as South
ey's, and to inquire In which of his
works they occurred.
After the guests were seated he
began:
Friend Fields, have had good
deal of trouble Of late In searching out
in Southey's poems his well-known
lines running thus" repeating the lines
he had composed. Can you tell me
where they are to be found?"
81 do not remember to have met with
them before" replied the publisher, "and
there were only two periods in South
ey's life when such lines could possibly
have been written by him."
when were those?'
Somewhere" said Mr.. Fields, about
that early period Of his existence when
having the measles or cutting teeth, or
near the close Of his life when his brain
was softened. The versification be-
longs to the measles period, but the
ideas betray the idiot one"

they are at present, there are few who
cannot afford its luxury Of a finer
floor in few Of the rooms.
The constantly growing popularity of
rugs and art squares for the dining
room and library has made hardwood
floors almost a necessity for these two
apartments at least. 1t is true that the
ordinary matched pine floor may be
stained and shellacked with good eff
feet, but there Is never the satisfaction
that comes from floor that Is meant to
be seen.
Expensive marquetry floors, beauti-
full in themselves, are not required.
There are few more satisfactory and
attractive floors than those that are
well laid in thoroughly seasoned maple.
These are reasonable as to first cost,
and they are readily kept in good con-
dition. One advantage they have over
the beautiful oak floors Is that they do
not become so CLASSY smooth. They
do not require such a high polish as
the oak, and consequently have less
Of menace for fragile bones. 1t Is by
no means'necessary for the best effects
that floors of this kind, In one wood,
be laid In elaborate patterns. One or
two strips around the edge Of the room
for border, and the rest laid bias"
las the women have iD, is a job that
any ordinary carpenter can manage.
or course. there are those who demand
the full marquetry floor, with costly
hard woods laid in complicated geome-
trical patterns. But this forms an en-
tirely separate branch of wood finish

Home Coming.

l have often thought that the home
coming of any of the family who have
been away should be made as much
like n festival as possible. When one
Of us has been away visiting friends
and enjoying new scenes. and being
made much OF anu entertained as n
guest of honor there Is sometimes n
rather sudden letting down, and little
sense OF fiatness In the return to the
domestic fireside. And, II people have
been travelling and their minds kept
more or less on the Qui vive, they can
not mt once resume quiet ways and slip
into routine without an effort; to expect
them to do so would be to ask crea-
ture. which has been flying around in
freedom. to put itself into harness and
assume load, without noticing the
difference between the former and the
latter state.

Possibly the following figures regard
Ing the cost OF some OF the ships Of the
English navy may be surprising, and Of
interest Such a vessel as the Rami-
lies, frst class battleship, costs about
S4,350,O0O, excluding stores and guns.
or this amount the propelling and 9th
er machinery cost $519, 900; hull and At.
tlngs, 1882, 900; gun mountings, tor
pedo carriages, gear, etc., $685., 800: and
armament, $4,000.
The hull, ETC., Of one OF their torpedo
boat destroyers costs about $4,000.
while the engines cost $4,000. The
disproportion between the cost of the
hull and that or the engines Is due to
the enormous speed required of this
type Of vessel, and to the fact that they
incur no expense for armor, as In the
case OF battleships.
To build the engines OF a battleship.
there are something like ten or twelve
different trades and professions en-
ployed, notably, draughtsmen. pattern
makers, moulders, turner's. filters.
blacksmiths, erecters, machine hands.
etc.

Gludness Comes

With q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so, highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts tbs therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
IL in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxar
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedeve everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
XXX.

There is something wrong with our
government and people. What is it?
They want money.
First, we find the people without
money; that is IN speaking of the work
ing and trading classes.
Our stores are full of goods and gro
ceries for sale at reduced prices. Why?
Because there is no money among the
people to buy them with. The majority
of the people are simply doing without
what they really need in the way of wear
and food. This helps n a great meas
ure. to make dull market The manu-
facturer and manufacturing labor is
also affected by the lack of trade of the
consumers who have neither gold nor sill
yer to pay for what they really need TO
sustain a good and happy life.
The great majority of the inhabitants
of the United States to-day are consum-
ers of the products of this country. How
many people VIII you meet on the street
before you will find one that is dressed
in imported goods? | should say not
one in a hundred. How about our Am
erican restaurants, hotels and homes?
Their tables are set with American pro-
ducts. outside of a few spices and wines,
which are imported goods.
Give The people silver-a money that
if coined. will soon get among the people,
for it is the money that branches out
among the people 1t is like this: Say
that a $50 gold piece is coined and put
out among the people. only one indivld-
ual can be in possession or the owner OF
that coin at any one time. On the other
hand if twenty dollars in silver IS coined
IN quarters or half dollars, then forty or
more people can enjoy the use Of that
twenty dollars in silver, where only one
individual could possibly enjoy the use
OF it in gold.
They say silver will make the silver
mine owners rich Now. it will take
millions of dollars and at least five years
time 10 put the silver mines in paying
oDeratious. as they were when silver was
on parity with gold. There are many
bodies of rich silver ore IN thousands OF
stones. tunnels and shafts that never will
be re-opened. but at one time could have
been taken out and put among the peo-
nile for their good use. Bui now 1t won
raw TO reopen them as the ground Is OroK-
en- and caved and the working mach-n-
erv has decayed and gone to ruin so that
those bodies are forever cut OIL from
use
ASH said it will take at least five years
before the silver mine owner commences
10 realize a profit. I am not a silver
miner. having always worked gold mines
but know what it means to reopen an
old mine that has lain idle for rev
years: it means a lOng-continued expense
10 its owners.
The people must have more money
that is a dead certainty.

After Chairman Dawson found out

conversation occurred at the next meet

Friend-If the secret poll made by you
shows the State to be "hopelessly Dem
Ocratic,' why do you claim so emph8t-
ically, through the Intelligencer, that
West Virginia will give a Republican
majority of over 1900?
Mr. Dawson see you are not up TO
the tricks in politics. | estimate the
floating vote in the State at 5000 to 5000.
These floats" want TO vote with the ma
jority. SO you see, in order to get them
to vote with us we must try and make
them think we are going to win. See?
F'riend-What are paytOns chances in
the Second district, MIR Dawson?
Mr. Dawson-Sorry to say it, but Day
ton is badly beaten man.
Friend-What are the chances in the
other districts?
Mr. Dawson-No chance whatever Of
electing but one Congressman, and that
is in the First district. l think we can
put Dovener in, if we can just hold The
gold bug Democrats in line, and l think
We can.
