THE FACTS ABOUT MONEY
What the World Is Producing Of The
Two Metals.
GOLD STANDARD MEANS CONFlSCATION

For n Man I'm order 40 become
President OF this Republic.

In all the world there is only $3,700,-
600, 900 of gold. 1t would not quite fill a
packing case OF twenty-five cubic feet.
For the population of the world it is only
1925 per capita.
In all the world there is only enough sill
yer to make q cube of sixty-sx feet yet we
are threatened with ''slver food"
The greatest amount Of silver ever pro-
duced in any one year was sS2,000.00
which divided among the 10000 600 pop
ulation of the United States would be
but trifle over 81 apiece. This produc-
ton would have to double every thirty
four years in order to keep pace with the
increase OF the population.
The amount OF gold in the United
States 10 about $3.50 to each person,
while the debt of the same if divided up
would be just $40 to each person. Can
anyone explain how $40 debt can be paid
with $3.50 Of Sound money!"
Colorado has six gold mines that pro-
duce gold at less than 20 cents expense to
the dollar; oyer 80 which produce it for
less than % cents per dollar, and the
average of the well developed mines is
about 40 cents. On the other hand, sill
yer cannot be produced at profit until
the price is over 81 per ounce.
1t is an absolute proven fact that gold
and silver has not kept pace in produc-
ton with the increase of population and
the demands Of commerce yet the one
metal is forced to do the service that both
cannot do properly,
The annual production of both gold
and silver In the United States lacks over
81, 900, 000, 900 of being enough to pay the
annual interests on our debts.
The net earnings over all expenses, OF
the banks, in the United States have
averaged over sixty.nine millions Of dol
lars per year during the past ten years.
Compare this with your own earnings and
BEE VINO has made the better investment
The worlds population is increasing
more rapidly than ever before, and the
population of the United States doubles
every thirty-four years; there is no pros
pect OF any material increase in the sup
ply of gold, while its use in the arts anC
dentistry increases every year.

Many of the political speakers are max
ing derogatory commentaries on Bryan's
aye but while his remarkable campaign
alone should put to rest all doubts as to
his abilities, still it is well enough to re-
member that age is not necessarily a
synonym of wisdom. Methuselah was
900 years old at the time OF his demise
yet outside of establishing record for
longevity he was no way prominent.
Jared was only years younger but the
pages of sacred history tell us little OF

The missouri, River Drying Up.

The Missouri river is said to be, beyond
doubt, slowly drying up. Government
gauges at Sioux City show that for twenty
years the volume Of water passing that
point has been steadily decreasing, and
that the fall has been 20 per cent since
1878. Several theories are advanced to
account for this change. One OF them is
that the great artesian basin OF South Da-
kota has operated as drain on the sup
ply sources of the river. There is probs-
bly, more than one cause behind the
decrease. The whole Missouri valley has
undergone vast modification within
twenty years, and civilization levies tax
on nature for every development it brings.
One thing is certain, however, and that
is that determined movement for river
and forest preservation cannot be begun
too soon.

Con fiscati0n.

The beauty of the single gold standard
in its effects upon farmers and small
property holders cannot be illustrated
any better than to recall the experience
OF farmers after 1t was adopted. Over
three-fourths Of the farms in Great Brit.
tain passed into the hands OF the creditor
class, the sheriff doing the business.
The gold bugs in this country call the
farmers repudiationists because they are
now in lawful way trying to prevent
the confiscation of their property by the
gold standard and now that there is q
prospect that the plan of the gold con.
spirators is likely to be threatened, they
cry anarchy and reputation. Vote for
Bryan and prevent further confscation OF
your property.

New York World must see, il it wishes to
see-that the interest of the workingman
is not directly opposed to that Of the

when the farmer failed TO do so. Hard
times on the farm are speedily followed
by hard times in the town and city, by

The singular case which has been
brought to the attention OF physicians by
an operation recently performed on a
male patient at the Seney hospital in
Brooklyn is attracting more discussion
than any event In science since Koch
came forward with his lymp formula.
The case was that Of a man from whose
body the tiny body Of an infant was re-
moved. Superintendent Darlington of
the hospital absolutely declined TO talk
about the case further than TO admit
that it existed. DR.. Fowler and several
other physicians OF the hospital Witnessed
and took part in the operation, but they
were equally reticent.
The patient, who is lying dangerously
i'll as the result of the removal OF the in
fant's body, is Thomas Nevins, dry
goods merchant.
Neyins is bachelor, about 3S years
old, u handsome specimen of muscular
Christianity, standing over six feet two
in his stockings and proportionately well
developed. Seven months ago he COM
planned of pains in his thighs, which ex-
tended toward the base OF the spine. He
also remarked on bis abnormal appetite.
Still Nevins suspected nothing, until the
pains became so severe that the doctors
suspected an abcess, and advised him
to submit to an operation. He went to
the Seney hospital, and, refusing to take
an anaesthetic, he submitted to the sur
geon's knife.
Relief did not follow and Drs. Parking
ton and Fowler determined to expose the
lo~Ar portion Of the spine, with the ex-
pectation Of finding some foreign or dis.
eased matter there 1t was the former
they found4-the foreign matter-but it
came in the shape OF tiny human body.
1t is said to be perfectly formed, with hair
on its head, and equipped with finger
nails.
The body was removed dead, Of course,
and then the doctors put their heads to-
gether to furnish an explanation of this
phenomenon. This was that Nevins was
one of twins, and the form found in his
body is what is known as an arrested de-
| velopment. Prior to birth the embryo
was enveloped in that OF Nevins, and it's
existence, after Nevins saw the light and
cried, was not suspected
After birth the doctors say that the
circulation between the two bodies was
maintained, and the smaller body became
portion OF the larger For SO years
Nevins, the doctors assent, went about
carrying bis baby brother with him.
At last, in some way. circulation was
cut off, and the tiny twin became source
OF trouble, symptoms similar to those of
an abscess we're noticed, but the second
operation revealed the truth. Doctors
say the case is not unprecedented that,
in fact, 1t is a freak, like the Siamese
twins and other wonders familiar to
museum visitors.

The Late., Remarkable surgery

Arthur Harris sits in a chair in the
Newark City hospital, New Jersey, with
practically a remodeled head. The doc
tors say he is going to get we'll in two or
three weeks. Harris was at work in a
canal boat recently, with workmen dump
ing coal from above in a heavy bucket.
Harris was leaning over, when load
broke away from its fastenings and
struck him with awful force Oh the skull.
When his companions picked him up
the top of his head was lying over on his
left shoulder, hanging by some shreds.
The bucket had cut its way in straight
line above the ears, "just in line with
where you take your hat off," said one
of the doctors afterward.
At the hospital Harris was laid on the
operating table and DR.. Hewlett and 9TH
er surgeons went to work to save his life.
First they cleaned the ear and packed
gauze upon the brain to stop the bleed
ing. Then the rebuilding of the head
began. 1t was done with silver wire
and some bone punches. Fractured bits
were fitted together with care, and then
the whole was bandaged.
Under this treatment Harris brain
stopped bleeding in few days. Then
the gauze had to come out. DIR. Hewlett
made two or three trepannings and fished
out the gauze with small hook through
one Of the openings left for the purpose.
The physicians say Harris will be appar-
emily in as good shape as ever owing to
the remarkable and successful surgery.

a party Of gold hunters started out.
from San BernardinO, some years ago,
to prospect the country to the north
and west Of that mining camp. The
men in the party were old-timers. with
one or two exceptions. and among the
latter was a SWede, full of grit, who
stood nearly seven feet in his stock

time in Acton mining. camps, and
boasted that che had killed bar in his

The party Of twelve were climbing a

on, and prospects Of supperless night
were in view, when the seven-foot
Scandinavian volunteered to push on
ahead, in the hopes of securing an elk,
deer or mountain sheep. The foreign

his immense strength and powerful

Married Over a Grave.

| A singular matrimonial reunian oc-
Cured at Medford, Mass, when. over
the grave Of her second husband, the
| bride was remarked to her first hus-
! band, John H. Jackson, whom she had

tanning five persons drove into the
cemetery, and all the occupants got
| out Two were women, three men.
Two Of the men wore high hats and
were fashionabIy dressed The other
was a clergyman. The women wore
heavy, long cloaks, concealing their
dresses. The party approached grave,
and one of the women, who wore a
Gainsborough hat, and one Of the men
claSped hands over g small mound.
The minister then approached and, IN
covering his head, took out small
volume and read the marriage cere-
mony. When the bride lifted her hand
she disclosed the fact that She wore
white wedding garments under her
heavy black cloak. A ring was passed
across the grave. The bride, notwith-
standing the dismal surroundings,
smiled with evident happiness at the
prospect of reunion with her first hus-
band after tWenty-SiX years Of separa-
tion- The bridegroom is a lawyer. The
people of Medford never knew why
the couple separated, and the disap-
pearance Of Jackson was great mys-
terry at the time. When Jackson had
been missing seven years and was le-
gally dead his wife married again. Re-
Gently he came back from the West
and met his wife, who he thought was
dead. The old love revived, and the
result was the sormber ceremony in
the cemetery. After the ceremony
there was a big reception at the homo

noon he saw his daughter acting In q
suspicious manner with a chloroform
bottle. In moment he jumped to the
conclusion that his daughter had got
ten mixed up IN a love affair and, like
all the romantic characters in tragedy,
had taken poison. He therefore hus-
tied out, got a first district policeman
and had his daughter, without word
Of explanation, hustled off to the Poly
clinic hospital.
There, to the horror, of the girl, she
was grasped by four wiry doctors,
strapped to cot, and hideous instu-
ment of torture, in the shape Of a
stomach pump, was brought into play.

ing Justify ito be allowed one word"
The doctors, of course, knew the
ways Of their patients; of course they
all acted that way, and denied that
they took poison. That was to be ex-
pected. They were too old for any
thing like that, and straightway, de-
spite the frantic p1otesta tons of the
girl, who was now lighter shade Of
yellow from pure fear, they rammed
the nozzle of the pump down her
thorax and pumped away.
After working for half an hour and
failing to bring anything nearer chlor-
oform than a well-masticated dinner
to the surface, the physicians scratch
ed their heads and concluded that
something was wrong.
''Did you see her take poison?" asked
one.
'No," said the father, ''but she had

Judged"
OF course it was now the doctors
turn to look pale, and they quickly
yanked the pump out.

The Healthiness of Yawning.

A celebrated Belgian physician says,
that yawning is an exceedingly
healthful function generally, besides
having a very salutary effect In COM
plants of the pharnyx and eustachian.
tubes. According to the results of late.
investigations, yawning is the most
natural form of respiratory exercise.
bringing into action all. the respiratory
muscles of the chest and neck. 1t is.
recommended that every person
should have good yawn, with
stretching of the limbs, morning and
evening, with the purpose Of ventilat-
ing the lungs: and tonifying the mus
cles Of respiration: An eminent au-
says that patients suffering from dis
orders Of the throat have derived
great benefit from it. He makes his.
patients yawn,. either by suggestion,
imitation, or by series of full breaths
with the lips partly closed. The.
yawning is repeated six or eight
times, and should be followed by swal-
lowing. By this means the air and
mucus in the eustachian tubes are ass
pirated.

A wire measuring machine has been
constructed for the use of wire manu-

may require to keep q constant check
on the quantity Of wire or cable paid
out or reeled in. It consists Of a
strong but light steel wheel, mounted
on cast-iron frame, and having
fine worm wheel This drives a train
Of clockwork connecting with the.
hands Of the dials, which Indicate
units, tens and thousands of feet or.
yards or meters, according to require
ments. 10 prevent error due to slip
ping, there is a small roller on the top,
of the wheel upon which the length to.
be measured runs. This roller presses
the wire or cable on to the wheel.
This machine should prove of great
convenience, AS by means Of it cables:
and wires can be automatically 'oeas--
ured during or after process Of manu-
facture, or before being sent out for a.
temporary task, as we'll as after they
are returned. Adjustable contacts can
be fitted to the dials to ring bell
when the desired length has passed.

'Look at the Man Lying There, That
Is My Work"
Dixon stood before them. A thrill ran
through every breast as they saw him.
A score of years might have passed
over him and not have wrought the
change of this one night. The assured
carriage the look of strength and
power and pride had vanished. The
broad shoulders stopped. The hair
was matted on a furrOWed brow, the
features pinched and livid.
He let his dim eyes wander over the
faces Of those present a moment; then,
in strained, husky voice, began
speaking:
"You who have been my friends"
he said, "who for years have given
ME your respect and confidence and
support, look at the man lying there
in his coffin. That is my work"
He paused. Every face blanched
perceptibly. No one moved, but all
hung, with parted lips, upon the next
words that strange, toneless voice
might utter. It began again:
'"That man was my friend, and l
was his; but he possessed one thing l
wanted-the love of a woman-his be-
trcthed wife. Up to the time began
to coyet this woman's love l was as
truly his friend as he was mine. Up
to the hour when the devil put it into
my power to swear away his good

believe that the woman loved cared
for him as a sister might, and might
have fairly won her. He was accused
Of a crime, and my word might have
cleared him. Instead of that 1T con-
