aeese That Made an Eoli,se.


 While Twas on hunting trip at In man, Kan, l saw sight which few sportsmen have ever seen. said Cook Herman. "One night just as it was growing dusk our party was hunting on 8 lake where we had been having good success with duck. Suddenly the sky seemed to be clouded over so that we thought storm was coming up, but on looking to see what was the cause of the sudden darkness we discovered that immediately over us was a flight of wild geese which literally covered the sky for as far as the eye could reach. I do not believe would be exaggerating If l were to say that the geese in that flight were numbered by the thousands For half an hour we watched them fly ing by. forming all sorts of picturesque groups like maps in the sky, shifting rapidly from one combination to anoth- CT. They were flying just high enough to be out of gunshot reach. but man aged to kill one tired stragglor, which had fallen behind one of the big punches and ventured where he could be reached by long shot. It was sight which l shall never forget, and I am still regret ting that we could not have got crack at them. ''-Kansas City Journal.

Money of the Constitution.

A favorite trick of the silyerites. when beaten i'll argument on the merits of the free coinage scheme, is to fall back on the claim that "silver Is money of the constitution. And in the ab- sence of any better reason for changing from the gold to the silver standard they urge that the framers of the con- stitution mentioned both gold and sill yer as legal tender money.
 Although very frequently heard, the assertion that silver has claim to free coinage through some reference to it in the constitution has no basis ill fact. The founders of the Union did not un- | dertake to limit the powers of congress to legislate in regard to the standard of values, and the only reference to the two money metals is the clause which prohibits the states from making any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts. There is positively 1 nothing ill tho constitution which gives any color to the pretenses of the silver 1 ites
 But even if the framers of tue eonsti- tuition had seen fit to provide that both gold and silver should be used as stand ards of value that would be no reason for adhering to all unsafe and unsound currency after experience had shown its evils Wise and great and good as our forefathers were, they could not foresee the enormous increase in the production of silver of the last 20 years And since 1 the great commercial nations have, aft CT centuries of experimenting, decided that the gold standard is the best, it would be folly for this country to stick to silver merely because our ancestors had used it. Americans want the best of everything, no matter what tradition may say, an6 if the constitution had favored the silver standard it would have been promptly amended to suit the new conditions

4 Yankee.in.Iaw.

The pedigree of the Grant family has been interesting people good deal of late. Not long ago sort of cousinship, through their great grandparents, was traced between General Grant and lief ferson Davis. More lately writer in The Vermonter gave currency to the no tion that Mrs. Grant was "a daughter of Vermont :" A Vermont editor wrote to Colonel Grant ill New York for some authentic information on this subject of his mothers birthplace and he replied as follows:
 My mother was born in St. Louis, Mo-. hel father was born at Cumberland. Md, and hei mother came from Pittsburg, Penn. Whoever gave her birthplace as Vermont was mistaken
 My fathers family, however, came from New England, Matthew Grant having settled at Windsor. Conn, in 1885, and the family re mained there until my great grandfather, soor after the Revolutionary war, went to western Pennsylvania, where my grandfather was born Very truly yours, FREDERICK D. GRANT
 So it appears that Mrs. Grant was not only not daughter of Vermont, but not New Englander, except remotely by marriage--a Yankee-in- law, so to speak. Boston Transcript.

 A ssPat" Illustration.

An Oklahoma correspondent of the sound currency committee of the Reform club says that because of short crops and low prices for two or three years the peo- pie there were grasping at the silver "straw. but that with plentiful rains. fair forage crops this season. good stand of wheat on the ground. they look for substantial betterment next crop and are less inclined to take for it anything but money having the highest purchasing power" He says: tThey are like the 1rishman going to join the church and did not know what one to join. He said everybody admitted the Catholics might go to heaven, but not every one admit ted that Protestant could. So he would take his chances with the Catholics. Now, everybody admits gold coin will be good In any event, but as part of the people have their doubts about silver they, to be on the safe side, when they have something to sell and ship. want the kind of money about which there hangs no doubt. y

It Wouldn't Work.

It is often suggested that all that is needed to keep the gold reserve up to the mark is to make the customs duties payable in gold. But this means a pre- mium on gold, as it implies discrimi- nation against other forms of money.
 There is besides law making silver dollars good tender for all dues. public and private. except in cases where a contract calls for something else. The Sherman silver treasury notes are by law receivable for customs dues. The law requiring all forms of money to be kept at par with gold would be violated by refusing to receive anything but gold for tariff taxes It is therefore imprao- 'tioable, without producing the evils we are trying to avoid. to require tariff taxes to be paid in gold only. The presi- dent has shown how gold reserve may be made unnecessary-by calling in the greenbaoks and Sherman notes and re- placing them with bank notes. No better plan Is forthcoming. Baltimore Sun.

A Plain Business Issue.

In an appeal for patriotic action ln congress OH the financial question the Baltimore Sun says that "curreney re form ought not to be the warcry of any one party. As it is the pressing need. so it should be the urgent demand of the people of both parties. It is simply a ouestion of how the business of the country. it's buying and selling, the ex- change of it's commodities at home ana abroad, can be carried on with the iease friction and the least loss It is the ques, tion of giving stability at home ana abroad to that medium in which the wages of labor are paid, debts are iiqu1- dated and the rewards of industry and enterprise are measured.

Commandments of sn,;,,,,,.

All acts af living creatures become pad by ten things, and ly avoiding the ten things they become good. There are three sins of the body. four sins of the tongue and three sins of the mind. The slns of the body are murder, theft and adultery of the tongue. lying, slander, apuse and gossip; of the mind, envy, hatred and error. Therefore give you these commandments:
 First.-Kill not, but have regard for life.
 Second. Steal not, neither do ye TOD, but help everybody to be master of the fruits of his labor.
 Third. Abstain from impurity and lead life of chastity.
 Fourth. Lie not, but be truthful speak the truth with discretion, fear iessly and ill loving heart.
 F1fth.-Inyent not evil reports, nei- ther do ye respect them. Carp not, but look for good sides of your fellow be- ings, so that you may with sincerity de- lend them against their enemies.
 Slxth.-Swear not, but speak decent ly and with dignity.
 Seventh. Waste not the time with gossip, but speak to the purpose or keep silent.
 Eighth. -Covet not nor envy, but re- Jolce at the fortunes of other people.
 Ninth. your heart of malice and cherish no hatred, not even against your enemies, but embrace all living beings with kindness.
 Tenth.-Free your mind of ignorance and be anxious to learn the truth, es- peclally in the one thing that is needed, lest you fall prey either to skepticism or to errors. skepticism will make you indifferent, and errors will lead you astray, so that you will not find the no ble path that leads to life eternal. - Gospel of Buddha.
