A TURKISH BATH.

The Mining Journal takes pleas
ure in characterizing "A Turkish
Bath" given at the Casinolast eye-
ming, as the finest attraction OF the
kind which has ever visited Mar
ouette. Ii was frst-class in every
feature, alive with fine fun and
conspicuously free from anything
loud or in the slightest degree OBJ
iectional. Plot there was not, but
there was long and hearty laugh
for every person in the large aud
ience present, and that is some
thing the dear public rarely obtains
for its coin.
Winsome little Marie Heath was
at her best last evening and charm
ed everyone. Her acting is intelli-
gent and full of vivacity and in
child parts she has no superior in
the country. McGoOgle-well Nc
Google was McGoogle, and that
ends it. OF the boards he is known
as ]. L. McCabe, on them he is the
finest dancer who has ever visited
Marquette, and a joker whose fun
is irresistible. The remaining mem
bers of the company are also good
and the musical features of the eve
ming were especially enjoyable.
Marie Heath's won't You Come
Out and Play" is thoroughly unique
and a charming little combination
of vocalism, monologue and acting
Agnes Florian's solo brought out
warm applause, and the rich voices
of the Delanos were highly appre'
ciated, while Mr.. Beasley's musical
specialties were much above the or
binary mark. Whenever the com
pany or its individual members Wis
it Marquette again, they will find
a hearty welcome awaiting them.

PUBLIC SERVICE IN CHINA.

Two Merits of the Competitive Educa-
tional System.
Ex-Sscretary John w. Foster, who
was the confidential adviser of the en-
peror Of China in the peace negotiations
with Japan, contributes q paper on
The Viceroy Ii Hung Chang" to the
August Century. Mr.. Foster says of
the viceroy:
"He does not regard the competitive
educational system of admission to the
public service as perfect method, and
more than once he has recommended to
his emperor material notifications in
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood the test of
centuries with much benefit to China,
and it's practical operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits of
inestimable value to any nation; first.
it brings all the Offices of the empire
within the reach of the lowest subject;
and secondly, it diminishes the ,ncen-
tives to, and opportunities Of, corrup-
ton and favoritism in securing en-
trance into official life. But in China
the competitive examination ends with
the admission; beyond that step promo
ton must come through other methods.
Ii Hung Chang secured the right of ad-
mission to Office through his assiduous
application to study, and every sue
cecding step in his upward career has
been attained by his own genius and
capacity"

Anna RIDGE.

Again the brawny hand of death has
reached into the family circle and
plucked, while just in bud, one of the
fairest and purest flowers of young
womanhood within our borders
The sad and untimely death of Miss
Anna Ridge was blow that is felt in
very large circle of friends, for to
know her was to love her No purer,
holier one ever lived. She was the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. p
Ridge, and little did they think twen-
ty-one years ago that the fair and pret-
ty flower should thrive to bud and die.
Little did they think that her twenty
first birthday should be as it was.
Yet, after all, we must remember
that while we are in the midst of life
we are in death. We will miss her
kind and cheering,wordsto us; we will
miss her voice, her footsteps and smiles.
They cannot be replaced; but with the
sad thought comes the happier one,
that the vacant chair SO long reserved
for her about the throne of God has
been claimed, and there is one more of
the inumerable angels with lamp in
hand which swell the chorus that
bids us COME.
Two years ago Anna Ridge gradu-
ated with high honors from our public
schools and we can all remember how
glad she was when her school days
were over.
While she is dead her soul dwelleth
in heaven and her good name and
memory liveth forever, for she was as
pure as the lily and her record plain
and clear. She has gone to heaven.

COOKERY HERBS.
Every Housewife Should Understand and
~ Cultivate Their Use.

Livery housewife SnOuiO understand ana
tr Cultivate Their Use.
Herbs used in cookery, while they
may be purchased in tlw markets of the
larger cities of the United States, are
rarely procurable in those of smaller
towns. To the average ruralist they are
unknown, or, if known, their use is not
understood. In first rate cookery,
which is one of delicate combinations
and favors, they are absolutely indis-
pcnsable, and their absence therefrom
is quickly detected by cultivated pal
ates. Chives, tarragon, chevril, savory,
sorrel, ETC., may be grown with little
trouble either out of doors or in
boxes in the house. Pulverized dried
herbs that are sold in bottles or tin are
of little value. For flavoring purposes
they are hardly more effective than so
much dried dust. Sorrel soup, on ac-
count of its pleasantly acid flavor, is
much il vogue in Europe. Here it is al
most entirely unknown, and is rarely
or ever served except in families of for
eign origin or at restaurants that en-
courage special clientele. OF all the
herbs only sage ond mint are in uni
versal use with us. For this boon we
are indebted to the favor accorded
sausages, and the popularity of the
mint julep."

money men in the opposite party. All
patriots do.
A matter for us to remember is, that
no nation can Ak value on any cur
rency by simply affixing certain
stamp upon it. 1t only certifies to its
value.
Commodities are said to be of a GER
tain value when they demand a certain
or specified amount of gold in exchange
for them.
The supply of that commodity as
compared to the demand for it always
governs the amount of gold required for
such exchange; and, If any commodity
is in excess of the demand, it calls for
a less amount of gold But, if the de-
mand is in excess of the supply, then a
greater amount of gold is required for
the exchange. In trade between com
modities, both values are measured by
the amount OF gold each commodity
demands
If other currency than gold is used
III tuOSC CAShdhBCct thoS SuiAShSJ 10
measured from this same gold stand
point, hence it is that exchanges be-
tween countries or nations are always
made in gold or it's equivalent.
Many of these exchanges are made
by bills of exchange, but any balance
due to either nation must be paid in
gold or it's equivalent
One nation cannot legislate for
another but each can legislate for
itself only.
The history of oil silver standard
countries demonstrates the fact that all
obligations to a gold standard coun-
try, if paid in silver at all, is paid at
the commercial value of silver bullion.
If our nation should now open it's
mints to the free and unlimited coinage
of the worlds silver at the ratio of 16
to l, we would just at that moment
place ourselves upon silver standard,
and our dollars would only he worth
the silver bullion in them, no manner
Of difference what hieroglyphics we
might conclude to stamp upon them.
The reason of this would simply be that
our gold coin would be withdrawn from
circulation and silver would be the
only currency of redemption, with a
commercial value at present of only
fifty-one cents to the dollar of S71A
graius.
Let us carefully consider these mat
ters before lending our influence in
that direction, not forgetting that the
tariff issue is one of vast Importance.
If we desire revenue without direct
taxation, we can only obtain it by
tariff legislation, the Mckinley law be-
ing all that is needed, the schedule be-
ing changed as occasion may demand.
This is time admonishipg us to lay
aside all prejudice and vote for prin-
ciples. M. " HARDY, M. D.

"There is no danger in eating soft

a Washington Star man, ''if they are
