why England Stays In Egypt.

But though much has been done,
much still remains to be done, and even
if it did not, the necessity for our con-
tinuance in Egypt depends on some
thing more than the completion Df q
programme When we have exhausted
the list of improvements of which the
country is capable, our mission will be
only half fulfilled The pashas and the
whole tribe of fatteners on a corrupt
system are still on the spot, only watch
ing for favorable opportunity to inau-
gurate counter revolution and repos-
sess themselves of their lost feshpots
The people have not yet learned to rely
on any protection against their former
oppressers, except what is afforded by
the English.
Take away this support and the whole
machine of progress would run down
hill again, and the great work of the
last ten years be completely undone
The old corrupt system would at once
reassert itself, and the second state Of
Egypt would be worse than the first.
The appetite Of the bloodsuckers only
whetted by their enforced abstinence,
and the hapless fellaheen. instead OF
feeling, as they feel today, deeply CRATE
full for the intervention of England,
would only curse the hour when they
first listened to her counsels.

Immense Fortunes In Trees.

The timber wealth Of the United
States gives yearly product Of over a
billion dollars, or twice the value Of
the entire output Of all the mines put
together-gold, silver, coal, iron, cop
per, zinc and the rest This is re-
source worth keeping, and yet we are
cutting into our capital at the fearful
rate of 75 per cent each year, as only
about 25 per cent Of the timber market
is represented by new growth. AS for
losses from the fires that are started by
locomotives, cattlemen, berry pickers,
hunters and incendiaries, it gives suffi-
cient idea of what they cost us, to be
told by the forestry commissioner Of
Pennsylvania that his state alone prob
ably suffers to the extent of $50, 900, 900
annually from this one cause. Not only
the trees are lost in these mightytcon-
fagrations, the vegetable mold which
would supply fertility to the soil for
future agricultural purposes, or food for
the roots of q second growth Of forest,
is burned, and the first step is taken on

MONEY QUESTION DrvEsTED OF THE
BEwuDERING ARGUMENTS WHICH BE-
SET IT.
What is money? Simply conven-
ience. In itself it cannot be used as food
or clothing. It is but means to all end
Man invented money as an accommoda-
tion in the exchange Of necessary COM
modities. He did not do this until COM
merce between people, distantly sepa-
rated, made it valuable convenience.
Money is not necessity in the exchange
Of the produce of neighbors.
The first money wasnot gold, silver,
copper, nickel, metal Of any kind or
even paper. AS money itself is a mere
convenience, SO is the selection Of the
substance from which it is made.
Moneys play the same part in COM
merce that railroads. wagon roads and
rivers do. They facilitate exchange.
Several means of transportation have
been found desirable; SO have several
forms of money. Each is convenience.
All help mankind.
There is no form Of money that is a
measure of value. A days labor is the
measure Of all values. The amount Of
labor necessary to produce given
amount of any substance necessary to the
wants of man is alone the measure Of its
value. This is another indisputable fact
and is the arch which supports all finan-
cial systems. It is the basis of commerce.
II it takes five days labor to produce ten
bushels of wheat, that wheat is equal in
value to the amount of silver or Of gold
that can be produced by five days labor.
This is natures measure. It is the only
measure. Any system of finance or COM
merce that does not recognize this mex
orable law is faulty and must prove a
failure.
The substances that have been used
for money have been changed from time
to time as man has found the one more
convenient than the other. Convenience
contemplates value, durability, etc.

you really agree to pay SO many grains
of gold or of silver, and the payment
is so made, for if you liGuidate the in

payee can step into the nearest bank and
secure his gold or silver coin which con-
tains the requisite grains Of bullion.

the fact that there is not enough, both
taken, to supply the demand for money
would hold their values as steady as is
possible The chance of f1uctuation ex-

experience has proved that it is less in
gold and silver than in any other COM
modify which is convenient for money.
Between these two it is less in gold;

Lilith, Adams First Wife.
The old Talmudists had queer leg
end concerning the first pair created
by the Almighty. According to the
story, Lilith was Adams original
"helpmeet," and Eve was the after con-
sideration. The Talmud says that Lilith
was created just as Adam was-out Of
the dust of the earth. Soon after the
breath of life had been breathed into
her ears (you will remember that the
Bible says ''nostrils" in Adams CASEY
her entire nature changed to such an
hot hn 70 do
mon. About this time the devil came
along. and, recognizing in Adams wife
al that was necessary to make first
class governess of the internal regions
persuaded her to quit the first man and
90 with him into the upper regions Of
!! the air." TO us this seems like queer
place for the location Of hell, hut that
is the direction the pair are said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant of the garden. At home with
the king of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother of devils, and then
deserted Pluto and became "specter Of
darkness -
After this transformation her sole de-
light appears to have been in the de-
struction of innocent babes. 1t is even
said that our word lullaby" is q cor
ruption of an oriental term, "lilIa abb"
which means 'AvaunU, " Or "Begone,
Lilith." The ignorant and superstitious
Jews of the far east still tie amulets or
charms around the necks, waists, wrists
or ankles of their tabes in order to pre-
serve them from Lilith S evil Intentions

A sharp Criticism.
for HaroI5.

In conversation with a gentle
man few evenings ago, who occasion
ally visites our city, ne remarked that
Sauk Centre was the only town on this
route where little boys and girls were
seen playing on the streets as late as ten
O'Clock at night. He spoke of several
villages and cities that had 'curfew"
ordinance prohibiting children under The
ages OF sixteen years appearing on the
streets after $50 O'Clock at night unless
accompanied by their parents or guar
dian. It ce, ,tainly seems az though
parents ought to care enough about
the future of their boys and girls to look
after them and not. make it necessary to.
pass ordinances to keep their children
where they belong. Nine-tenths Of all
the crimes committed are conceived
under the cover of darkness and the very
beginning can be traced back to gath
ering of boys or girls iflsome back alley.
where profanity and obscene language
was INDUCED in. It is perfectly natural
for parents to think that their children
are nearly perfect, but believe that If
they would investigate and quietly over
hear some of the language used while
their boys and girls are playing hide
and-seek in the alleys (as they can be
found at 9 O'Clock and after almost anv
night in our village) they would be
surprised.
Parents who allow their little bows
and girls to run at large late at night
on the streets. have no one to blame but
themselves il their children bring them
dishonor and shame at an early age. 1t
saduty parents owe to,themselves their
children and society. to use every effort
to remove them from evil influences and
temptation while they are young. II the
parents are Indifferent as to the future
OF their children, the authorities for the
reputation of the village if nothing else,
should take steps to keep the children
off the streets at night.

the most convenient of the metals from
which money can be made; hence they
are used. They occupy the exalted posi-
tion Of money metals alone on account
Of their convenience.
The element Of their convenience
which causes disturbance is value. Their
values change. Man has attempted to
prevent this fluctuation by statutory pro-
visions with invariable failure. Why?
Because in his legal enactments he ig-
nored natures measure of value. IF a
man produces 30 bushels Of potatoes by
one days labor and but one bushel Of
wheat by days labor, the value Of the
one bushel Of wheat is equal to the 80
bushels Of potatoes and double that Of 16
OF them. No statutory law can change
this relative value.
- To say that the supply IF silver has
increased is but to state that there is a
good crop Of silver; that for a given
number Of days labor, delving In the
bowels Of mother earth, an increased
number Of ounces Of silver have been
produced. To say that the supply Of gold
has decreased is but to state the reverse.
" A statutory provision cannot control
the relative value Of two commodities
or the value Of any single commodity.
It is possible to fix unit of measure by
statute, but unit Of measure cannot be
made from two different commodities
the relative values Of which inevitably
6uctuate.
a r1voit ~ "a sv,%v - o1,~o
composed Of two substances is not ne
cessity, but is mathematical and log
ical absurdity. It is no more ridiculous
than it would be to try to enact and
enforce law that, there being four pecks
in bushel Of wheat weighing 60pounds,
therefore there are four pecks or sixty
pounds Of oats in bushel. Neither prop
osition is true. No difference which
money metal is taken as the basis of the
unit, the decision should be based on
convenience, stability Of value and du-
rability the essentials. The unit fixed,
all money metals can be freely used ac-
cording to their real value, taken by ma
lures measure--a days labor. Nothing
else can be done. Much disturbance can
be made by attempting to do something
different, but it will end in failure and
loss, perhaps financial disaster.
= II silver is made the standard metal,
gold will be no less valuable, and vice
versa. The trouble is not that gold is
the standard, but that silver is not I'M

not unlimitedly accepted as money is

Comparatively few pc ople understand
the real meaning of "16 to L." as applied
to the coinage question. Since the sill
yer movement assumed serious phase,
Director OF the Mint Preston has been
nearly swamped with inquiries from
every section of the country, inquiring
what 16 to one meant. His mail av-
erages fifty letters of this character per
day. This morning he had already
received 400 such letters. Of course, it
is utterly impossible for Mr.. Preston to
make personal replies to all these letters.
He, therefore, made the following state

of standard fneness which may be pre-
scented, unless by legislation the amount
be limited to American silver only. The
term, 16 to I, means that the pure sill
yer in the standard dollar weighs about
16 times as much as the pure gold in the
gold dollar. A silver dollar now con-
tains 371N grains OF silver. while gold
dollar contains 23A grains of gold. At
the time OF establishment OF the United
States mints. congress fixed the ratio
between the silver and gold to be used
in the respective coins as hfteen ounces
of silver to one of gold. Later on, it
was found that this ratio placed too
high value on silver and the ratio was
changed to 16 to 1. At that time the
French were using ratio of 1871 to /.
At the present time the value of silver in
the markets OF the world is in the ratio
of thirty ounces of silver to one ounce of
gold; that is. one ounce of gold will buy
thirty ounces Of silver.:''
