FROM SENATOR TELLER.
tic Says There Never HAS Been . Time
When the Free Coinage OF silver
Could Have Been HAD.

Denver. Col, Sept. 3.-Dur-
ing the past few years Senator
Teller's enemies have industri-
ously circulated the report that
If the senior Colorado senator
and his silver colleagues had
been willing To accept it they
could have secured the coinage
of American silver product.
Since the announcement of
the candidacy of Major McKin-
lev and especially since his
nomination. hiS Colorado
friends have been particularly
jealous in circulating the story,
some of them going az far as 70
intimate that they had the in
formation from Major McKin-
ley himself. In reply To an IN
quiry concerning the matter.
Senator Teller has written the
I following letter:
/ Denver, Col, Aug. 27.-Hon.
+. NJ. Ammons, SymmeS. Col:
Dear sir-ln reply To yours of
/ Aug. 23. in which YOU ask the
question: IF. in 1890. when
the Mckinley bill was passed,
the silver men could have
secured the coinage of the
American product" is at hand.
This story has been indus
triouSly circulated throughout
the west during the last two
years. There Is not one word
of truth in the statement. The
free coinage of the American
Iproduct was always weaker in
both congressional bodies than
the unlimited coinage of silver.
There never has been a preSi-
dent since | have been in pub
lie life who would have signed
a bill for the coinage of Ameri-
can product, nor has there been
a time when such n vote could
have been had in either house
of congress. At st. Louis there
was introduced in the commit
tee on resolutions after they
had voted down the free coinage
provision, provision for the
coinage of the American pro-
duct, but il received exactly
the same number of votes and
the same number of negative
votes against il, that the unlim-
tied coin of silver did. Those
who stated that there has been
a time when the free coinage oi
the American product could
have been secured are either
: grossly ignorant or very wick

Essay of q Young Naturalist the Mon

An examiner of lads under 16 for the
civil service commission gave for a
question: Describe the habits OF
fish," Here is q literal transcript Of
one out of batch Of some hundreds of
answers:
"The shark il about 20 feet long and
has i've rows Of teeth when the shark
is going to catch his pray it turns on

ment), and the shark IL very hungry
always, that he will grab at the meat
and find himself caught. One Of his
foes are the sord fish It will go and run
its sword through it's stummick.
when the shark has been floating
about ON the water for some time it
gets a lot of small fish in it's mouth
and they will go and lay on the beach
and let small birds come in their mouth
and pick them off and will not hurt
them. The shark can live in water and
on land. Going from England to In
dis you will see sharks in the nile.
they will follow ships for many miles
on purpose to get some meat, and then
perhaps not get any. They are diff
ferent kinds of sharks, the Black shark,
Etc.
''The shark is q very curious animal,
1t can lay it's teeth down when not
catching any food. Once upon time
there was ship going to america, and
on board some slaves the slaves were
packed so close together that they
could not live, and the captin of the
ship youst to let some come upon deck.
and many of the slaves you'st to jump
overheard, and be eat with sharks, So
the captin determined to stop it if he
could. So one day black slave woman
was just in the acted to jump over
board when the captin caught her, and
had as many slaves as he could upon
deck. And then he had roap fastened
around her waist, and lowered her over
board, when a shark came and bitt
half off her off, and then the captin had
the other half pulled up and sorn to
the slaves on deck, and then said to
them that he would do any one of them
the same If he jumped overboard."-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The COW ought to be kept quiet and
comfortable if you expect her to give
you good returns.
l never thought there was much
nourishment in weathcr-beaten corn
stack for any stock, and especially for
milch COW, says a dairyman.
If oil and cottonseed meal are not
available to mix with oat straw it car
be cut and mixed with good early cut
clover hay. One ton of oat straw cut
and mixed with one ton of good clover
hay is equal in feeding value to two
tons of timothy hay fed whole.
Dat straw. waste product of the
farm, could and should be utilized by
our dairy farmers by a little judicious
management; of itself alone, oat straw
produces the thinnest of thin milk,

mixed with heterogeneous food such as
cottonseed meal or oil meal, it could al.

A SOUTHERN OPINION.

Cne Read Problem IL Asserting Itself IN
the Cotton States.
The subject of improved public high
ways Is attracting large share of pub
lie attention. In the opinion of the
Southern Farm Gazette, of Starkville
Miss. good roads is one great need of
the day in the cotton states. In order
TO have better roads, it is necessary to
reorganize our present general plans of
road working. and adopt more modern
and more effective methods. 1t seems
that it would be wise plan to utilize
county convicts in connection with this
line of work. These convicts are usual
ly burden on the county. They should
be worked. They should be worked
for profit. What better profit can the
tax payers desire than the profit aris-
ing from better public roads? Better
roads are indirectly a profit to every
farmer that travels over them. The
better the road. the less strain upon the
team and the wagon and the harness
and the patience of the driver. The
better the road, the greater the saving
of time In going from one mile to an
other, and the greater ease with which
the burden of freight is transported.

Tho force of Lightning.

A German professor has been investi-
eating the energy developed by light
ming stroke. At Klausthal lightning
stroke struck the wooden post of a
house and fused two nails four MILL
meters thick. Experiments made aft
erwards by Messrs. Siemens and Halske,
of Berlin, showed that current of 200
amperes and 10000 volts was required
to do this work in one second. This
represents about 1000 horsepower,
and, taking the duration of the light
ming as one-tenth of second, the total
power would be ten times as much.

Antiouated Methods Must Go.

The old-style corduroy highway was
q well enough thing in the pioneer
period, and the old system of spalling
the highways and throwing dirt from
the side into the center of the pike was
doubtless the proper thing in it's day.
but the farmer who worked out his
taxes in this way has learned at last
that it has been costly as we'll as
worthless proceeding. and he is now
among the reformers. There has been
too much destruction in wagon tires
and springs. The farm carriage has
been too often wrecked in the ruts, and
farm stock has suffered. This loss has
finally appealed to the pocket, and the
farmers who have been figuring out.
profit and loss on the old system are
now ave advocates of the new. Perman-
ent road improvement is here to stay
and grow, and as the movement spreads
through well-directed methods the area
of good roads will be not only gradually
extended this year, but will rapidly in
crease. The farmer who looks after
the road over which his farm products
are taken to market is the farmer who
now saves money, even when the price
of his products is low.-Cycling Gazette.
