came across the meadows to knock the
Plaasantvile team out OF eXistance on

el"ven as strong boys as themselves,
who had an idea they were gong to
win the game. Galnpo, Myers and West
colt played on the Pieasantville side, in
the places of some of the team that did
not show up. Good work was done by
the home team to keep the opponents
from scoring. Long got the ball and
mace a splendid run and came near
scoring, but was downed by Akin.
Hackett made one of the prettiest tackles

IRON ORE IN JAPAN.
That Nation Is Now Ono of the Richest
Iron Welding Countries.

Iron Yielding Countries.
The Japanese are investigating the
extent of the iron bearing strata of their
country with encouraging results. The
best mine thus far discovered is that of
Kamaishi in Iwate prefecture, which,
according to Professor Moro and another
expert, is capable Of yielding about &c.
600, 600 TONS The Sennin mine, also in
the same prefecture, is supposed to con-
tain half % million tons, and the Akai-
wa mine in Niigata prefecture is put
down for 1860, 0Oo tons. Many other
mines have also been discovered in
Iwaki, Shinano, Kyushu and so forth.
In short, Japan may be considered as
one of the richest iron yielding coun-
tries in the world Moreover, the ore
found there is not inferior in quality to
the imported metal
Already the Osaka arsenal has substi-
tuted homemade cast iron for imported.
The arsenal has further found that JAP
anese iron can be made into steel of a
quality so excellent that it is expected
by and by to excel the imported article.
The results of experiments conducted at
the Yokosuka dockyard confirm those
obtained in the arsenal. By substituting
Japanese iron for imported there would
be great saving Of expense even in the
matter Of transportation, for the freight
of cast iron represents rs per cent of its
cost, that of wrought iron 81 per cent,
and that of steel about 40 per cent.

VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY.

Macaulay's Description of Those Who suf.
fered by Clipped Coins In the Seven
teenth Century.
Free coinage at 16 to is equivalent
to clipping from 40 to 80 cents from the
present dollar. 1t would give us de-
based dollar of varying valze. The
world mas had experience with clipped
coins. Poorly minted coins during
Queen Elizabeth's time made it easy to
clip them. Coin clipping was carried ON
extensively during the rest Of the six
teenth and during all of the seventeenth
century. By 1895, Macaulay tells us,
sit could hardly be said that the coun-
try possessed, for practical purposes,
any measure of the value oe commodi-
ties"
Speaking Of the effects upon the peo-
pie at large of this debased coin of I'M
certain value, this great historian says
that sit may we'll be doubted whether
all the misery which had been inflicted
on the English nation in a quarter of a
century by bad kings, bad ministers,
bad parliaments and bad judges was
equal to the misery caused in couple
Of years by bad crowns and bad shil-
lings." He describes the workings and
effects in the following language:
But when the great instrument Of ex-
change became thoroughly deranged,
all trade, all industry, were smitten as
with a palsy. The evil was felt daily
and hourly in almost every place and
by almost every class, in the dairy and
on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and
by the loom, on the pillows Of the ocean
and in the depths of the mine. Nothing
could be purchased without o dispute.
Over every counter there was wrangling
from morning to night. The workman
and his employer had squared as regu-
larly as the Saturday came round. On
q fair day or a market day the clamors,
the reproaches, the taunts, the curses,
were inoessant, and it was we'll if no
booth was overturned and no head
broken. No merchant would contract to
deliver goods without making some
stipulation about the quality of the coin
in which he was to be paid. Even men
of business We're often bewildered by
the confusion into which all pecuniary
transactions were thrown. The simple
and the careless were pillaged without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price of the necessaries
Of life, of shoes, of ale, Of oatmeal, rose
fast.
The laborer found that the bit of
metal which, when he received it, was
called shilling would hardly, when
he wanted to purchase pot of beer or
a loaf of rye bread, go as far as six
pence. Where artisans of moro than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the dockyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress. But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight. "Macaulay's His
tory of England.

WHAT CYCLISTS SAY.

Racing equipment is out of place on
the road.
Zigzag hill climbing is easier than
the straight lift.
Swapping and creaking of the chain
is a sure indication that it wants lub-
ricating.
Hard riding directly after a meal is
very bad, and hard eating directly af-
ter ride is even worse.
The man who tries to please every
one in his cycling seldom pleases any
bcdy-least of all himself.
All the learned uproar of physicians
about heart disease is lost on habitual
scorchers and chronic hill climbers.
If you want to steer well let your
eyes meet the surface of the ground at
a point not less than 30 feet ahead of

Sarcasm in a Fathers Will

A novel will was made by James H.
Pollock, of Racine county, Wis, farm
sr, who died recently, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000. Mr.. Pollock's wife
was granted divorce in 1886, and he
paid her $4,000 and the costs OF the
case. His will shows that he had in
nind the incidents of the divorce case
when he made it. To each of his chill
1ren who sided with their mother at
the time Of the domestic trouble he
willed one copy of Millions Paradise
Lost" with the hope that at will do
them much good" They got no part
Of the estate, which was bequeathed to
the children who sided with him, to
their children. to nieces, sisters and
others in sums of $1,000 and less. An
effort is being made to break the will.

NO REPUTATION.
Massachusetts Set the Whole Country .
Good Example In 1892.


1t becomes from time to time my off,
cial duty to sign bonds issued by the
commonwealth of Massachusetts for
loans Of money. Some of these bonds
read, Interest and principal payable in
gold COIN" Some Of these bonds have
no such provision. Why is it? 1t is be-
cause, in the first place, the legislature,
in authorizing some Of these great loans
for the abolition Of grade crossings, for
the metropolitan water system and for
such other important matters as the
suppression of the gypsy moth, has seen
fit in its acts to specify that they be
paid in gold coin. In those cases these
bonds bear that provision, and yet that
is wholly unnecessary. If not word
was said about the payment in gold
coin of any loan that the commonwealth
of Massachusetts makes they would
still be payable, principal and interest,
in gold coin, because by section 67 of
chapter 16 it is provided that the inter-
est and principal of all scrip or bonds
Of the commonwealth are payable and
when due shall be paid in gold coin or
its equivalent. That is q general act
covering all issues of bonds by the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts, and when
was that act passed? Was it in time
of great prosperity, when it seemed easy
to meet such obligations in gold? No,
gentlemen. The commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts, through its legislature,
placed that act upon its statute books
in the dark and dubious days of 1862.
That is the way in which the credit of
this commonwealth has been maintained
as the foremost among all her sister
states, and the equal well nigh of any
civilized community or aggregation Of
men anywhere in the wcrld. Speech Of
Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts.
