Ques.-Is there any probability that
nation declaring So cents worth of sill
yer to be a dollar?
Ans.-No. Prices are fixed by trusts
for but brief time. Cost determines
price. When the two metals were at q
parity before at 15h to 1, Germany
and Austria were on a silver basis. the
minis Of India were open, and the
Latin union and the United States were
bimetallic. BY and by silver began to
be mined at less cost, better processes
struck richer veins of ore and the price
of silver fell. We cannot keep butter
in the relation to calico which 1t bore
so years ago. We remember when
butter was at to 1 as compared with
calico; but to-day calico Is at to as
compared with butter. The changed
ratio of butter to calico Is due not to
the gold bug, but to the fact that the
labor of man now has more to do with
producing a pound Of butter than with
producing a yard Of calico. Steam
and water power now weave cloth, but
they can't weave cows. But the de-
cline in the cost Of silver and in the
price Of silver, making it more bulky
value-backing for currency, has been
accompanied by the alienation Of the
bulkier metal by European nations
who persist, despite the efforts Of the
United States to promote larger
monetary use of silver. Not only Eng
land, but France, Germany and Aus
tria have gone to gold. The Indian

RECH's INSANITY PLEA.-Harry Mo-
Ian, a young man who has been incarce.
rated in the Mays Landing. N. Y, Jail
on charge of assault, was temporarily
released a few days back that he might
visit his sick wife, who is dangerously
ill. Nolan occupied cell at the county
jail adjoining that in which John Rech,
the self-confessed murderer of his al
legged wife was confined, and had fire.
quent conversations with Rech, during
which the latter said his plea of defense
would be temporary insanity. This,
the murderer said, was due to know
ledge that the woman was intimate
with men whom he knew. Rech fur
ther said that on the evening Of the
tragedy he heard a noise downstairs.
He went down and found his wife, as
he said, about to go out. He de-
manded to know where she was going,
and she told him she was going to live
with another man. He upbraided her
and violent quarrel followed. 1t was
at this point, Rech alleges, that he be-
came temporarily insane and commit
ted the crime. Nolan says that Rech
is by no moons morose or melancholy,
but or the contrary, is quite cheerful,
smoking and laughing as if liberty
rather than the hangman's moose await
ed him.

FAMILY OF MIsFoRTUNEs.-A re-
markable succession of misfortunes
occurred recently in the Irving family
of Oldtown, Me. Not long ago the old
homestead burned down, leaving the
family with but shed for shelter. Two
of the sisters moved into store and
started millinery business. The store
was burned down and they lost all they
had. Soon after that three women
members of the family were thrown
from boat in Pushaw stream, directly
opposite their home, and drowned. A
week or so since two other sisters be-
longing to the family were murdered
in OldtoWn.

WHIRLED BY TIDE R1P.-A "tide
rip" phenomenon of the sea was en-
countered in the Indian Ocean recently
by the ship Francis, which arrived at
Philadelphia recently. The tide ran in
many directions, apparently at almost
the same time, and the big ship was
whirled around by it like top, or took
peculiar and erratic sheers, until she
became uncomfortable and could not
be kept on her course. 1t was feared
at times that she would go to pieces,
for the tide seemed to increase in force.
For fourteen hours the Francis was at
she mercy of this peculiar action of the
ocean currents, and soon afterward a
cyclone struck and partially dismasted

CANARY BIRDs.-A Chicago bird
dealer, one of the most extensive in the
country, says of canaries: "The icea is
prevalent that canary birds either come
from the Canary islands or are born in
captivity. OF course some are received
from the Canary islands, and great
many of them are raised from tame
birds that have never been at liberty,
or cage birds, as they are called. Still,
many of the very best canaries are cap
tured wild in the United States. South
ern California is full of wild canaries,
and there are no better singers in the
world. In some sections the air seems
to be filled with melody. They are SO
plentiful that the boys kill them in
great numbers with sling shots, and
they are little more thought of than
sparrows. I prefer the American ca
naries to the imported, and there does
not seem to be any danger that the SUP
ply will ever run short"
