GOLD AND SILVER.

Law Fixes the Price of the One and the
other Is Treated as Commodity.
The Virginia City New Chronicle.
commenting on the fact that the price
of gold is fixed by law, while the price
of silver depends on its market
value" or in other words, on what the
speculators are willing to give for 1t,
says:
Now what becomes of the argu-
ment so glbly put forth by gold stand,
ard advocates about the price of gold
being fixed by Providence or by tacit
agreement among nations9 1t COM
pletely knocks out DIR. Depew, who
stated in his Detroit banquet speech
that there can be but one standard of
value, and that is a metal which will
bring the same price whether it is in
bar or has the stamp of the govern
ment upon it. On the contrary, the
Bank of England, which, under the
prevailing system, regulates the price
for the whole world, is compelled by
law to pay q stated amount for all the
gold brought to it. But, they tell US,
the price of neither gold nor silver can
be fixed by law. The governors of the
Bank of England probably know bet
ter. Thus we see gold must be bought
at the law-made price, regardless of its
market value, while silver is left to
the tender mercies of supply and de-
mand.
''It is as clear as daylight that the
law 10y naming both the price and the
buyer, when the latter is responsible
like government, with practically
unlimited resources, can fix and main
tain prices, Notwithstanding Secretary
Morton's declaration that mere statu-
tory enactment can't do such thing.
The British law fixes the price and
names the buyer. The buyer is the
British government, corporation of
unlimited credit and resources, pledged
to pay SIS 92 for every ounce of stand--
ard gold presented at its Bank of Eng
land counter. But it does not pay that
amount in gold; it pays it in notes.
Evidently, therefore, the real thing,
or power, or redeemer, behind both
the gold and the notes, is the credit of
the British government. Now, the adj
vocates of free silver coinage in this
country are not asking that the gov
ernment should do for silver what the
British government has done for gold
force the payment of a specific price
for bullion by law. They simply ask
that silver be given the same chance
with gold in the market; in other
words, that it be not Disseminated
against"
Money Struck by Lightning.
Fragments of two-dollar treasury
note were presented at the subtreasury
for redemption lately by resident in
one of the counties of Maryland, says
the Baltimore Snn.
This was struck by lightning" he
said, as he exhibited the two pieces of
the note. The note had apparently been
burned lengthwise through the middle,
leaving the top and bottom margins.
The burned portion that was missing
was from halfto oneand half inches
wide, The edges of the remaining parts
were echarred. The man said his home in
the country was recently struck by light
ming, that the note was in cupboard at
the time, and that the lightning en-,
tered the cupboard, burning the note as
described. The number and seal on the
parts of the note were legible and gem
uine, and consequently the note was res
| deemed.

| including the vegetable world. Ue soon took up the subjects of geology and palaeontology, and especially in the latter his tracing of relationships and philosophical reasoning regarding ing the ancestors of many creatures now living on this earth in rocks, are contributions to the great and newly developed science of evolution that must ever stand, monumental remind CTS of what Huxley has mastered for science. But as Lord Kelvin has re- merled. he was not man satisfied with being only a specialist, content to in vestigate his special subjects. He had a mind that must broaden into philo- sophie thought. The moral lessons of his biological work extended even into the field of politics. He was :, worker who gave his life and sacrificed his health for the advancement of the welfare of mankind, which he himsele coissidered of even greater importance than his promotion of the more purely intellectual science. Who then de- serves a memorial or monument better than Huxley?' l join Lord Kelvin in asking that question.
 Like all genius, in advance of it's time" Prof Osborn remarked to the writer, Huxley was not fully appre ciated until his latter days. He yearned in vain for q university post, and in 1850 east his eyes toward America, but in those early days classic prestige, even in the enlightened new world, was dead to q science which it was Huxley's great service in support of Darwin to place beside physics, in the lead of all others in England.'
 Prof. 0sborn's reference to Hu1ley's thoughts of America at the time of his trials, for what he considered proper recognition at home in his early life is a truly significant disclosure. Ae- eording to the comments of the noted Columbia university biologist, who knew him well enough to have that
 much of his confidence, one would be inclined to assume that had Huxley beer given the slightest encouragement to come to this country and accept post 1 in one of the universities, his fame would have been American.

ia 1. It is interesting to note that ' Japanese scientists were honored in this complimentary list to several less in larger countries who are among the old est known to civilization. Spain, for in stance, is credited with having only one scientist worthy of appointment. Is this not the most substantial evidence of the much questioned higher educative advancement of this oriental race? And if one generation can advance at such a pace what rivalry is Europe likely to encounter from this hitherto unsus- pected quarter?
 Several suggestions have been pre- sented and entertained as to the form the Huxley memorial should take. The final decision is life-size statue to be placed in company with those of Dar- win and Owen in the natural history branch of the British museum at Ken sington, England.
 Although deeply absorbed in the com position of an important lecture in his study at Columbia college, when | called, Prof Osborn welcomed me cord- tally and voluntarily set aside his work for an hour or more to place himself at the disposal of my questions regarding the promotion of the memorial and his personal knowledge of the life of the great scientist. I found Columbia s noted biologist ready to make any sac rifice of time in the interest of the monument. Asked to give a brief his tory of the memorial undertaking, he responded:
 Shortly after Prof Huxley died | coterie of his most intimate friends held meeting in the rooms of the Royal society, London. A memorial had already been suggested, and they concluded they would be advancing the desire of all interested in inviting a number of representative and infuen- tial men to q second gathering for the purpose of fully considering the matt ter. The result of the second meeting was an unanimous decision to form into | regularly constituted provision al committee for the advancement of the movement, soon after which invita- tions were sent out to an additional number of admirers of the great bi- ologist for the formation of a general committed.

 .'In offering the resolution Lord Kel- yin paid tribute to Huxley, which was charaeteristieally in touch with the solemn gladness' of the occasion. It was an impressive mind picture of the simple grandeur of Huxley's life. As an original investigator in biology said the English peer, Huxley has by lis lifelong perseverance in working for the increase of natural knowledge, left to the world monument more en- during than any bronze or marble. Of his originality he gave early proof. Whilst still a student in Charing Cross hospital he made an exceedingly skill full and acute microscopic investiga- tion of the structure of hair; he dis covered special structure, and de- scribed it in a communication to the Medical Times and Gazette with so much effect that, to this day it is known as "Huxley's layer"
 "But Huxley's investigations were rot confined to microscopic examina- tions and the dissection of plants and animals, which is comparative anatomy,

IcopYR1anr. 1sas.l

Never has an undertaking of an in- ternational memorial offering been en- tertained with such rare enthusiasm in America as the recently organized movement to the memory of the late Thomas Henry Huxley, P. c. The un- precedented activity shown by the leading American scientific bodies at the time of the eternal retirement of the great champion cf evolution and embodied into numerous deyout reso- lutions of brotherly regret and declara- tions of the most earnest assistance in whatever action the home societies of Huxley's nationality should decide upon to give material expression of gratitude, commended special reeogni- ton in the work of this accomplish ment, by virtue of the joint feelings so plainly shown. He was an admirer of the. American people and nation.
 American scientists did not, hewev- CT, expect such marked preference as is shown them in the list of names se- lected from the foreign members of the general committee formed in Lon don for the purpose of establishing such an interesting memorial, and which recently arrived in New York. 4 movement to organize an indepen- dent national committee has been abandoned, as all the influential scien- lists in the United States are honored in the home organization.
 There are only two men in the long list of honored Americans who had the rare advantages of studying under the master mind of the world famous de- plored scientist. They are Prof. Henry F. Osborn, biologist Columbia college, New York, and Prof. W. B. Scott, biolo- gist, Princeton college, Princeton, N. J. The foreign members embrace the names of all the noteworthy scientists in the world, a field representing 16 different nationalities, and number ing 235 men in all.

Household Remedies for Very Painful
 Afiiction.
 There are 90 many causes for head aches, and so many conditions that lead up to this distressing malady, that 1t is often very difficult to diagnostieate the case properly, ? said medical man of wide experience. "Of course, if the root of the matter is no. reached, medicines avail nothing and may do more harm than good. One thing, however, is quite certain, and that is that congestion is very frequent accompaniment of headache. and the pressure on the brain becomes extremely painful and may lead to dangerous consequences. IL is evident, therefore, that any course of treatment that relieves the overfull blood-vessels of the brain must be de- sirable 1t is always best to consult some reliable physician, if one is within reach; but this a great many people are aversc to doing, and some are so sit. For this class of persons a simple reme- dy may be mentioned that has been the 2 means of relieving many Q sufferer. and is so easily applied and so absolutely harmless that it is we'll worth know .ng. YAWhen the beating. humping sensa- ton begins in the head, take equal qnan- titles of pure cayenne pepper ard flour; mix them up with water to form smooth paste thick enough to spread like a salve. Put this upon piece of soft paper and apply it to the back of the neck just below the edge of the hair. In warm weather it is best to wash the neck with a cloth wet with soap and water, as the oily precipitation mas in- terfere with the action of the plaster. One great advantage of ayenne-plaster over mustard is that while the latter frequently bllsters. the former never does so, no matter how strong it is ap plied In the use of mustard, if the skin 5 is broken all treatment must cease until it theals, but with pepper, when the Pias ter loses it's effect another may be app pied without unpleasant consequences.
 1t is an Item of importance that pure pepher must be used. This should come from the druggists, and T reliable one at Wat It is very seldom that grocery cayenne is pure, and for this reason the chemist is the better dispenser of such Compounds as are required for medici
 nal purposes. IN. I. Ledger.

BACKACHE.
From ..is Press, Ne,e Fork citp.

Few people have suffered more from pain In the back than Mrs. Lillie B. Newell of No. 23l3 Second Avenue, New York City. For several years she was so afflicted with able to get around, and could do little to care for her children which made her suffer Ing all the harder to bear. Her husband, Charles Newell, who is well-lnown New York optician, tried in every way to find a remedy for his wife, but no medicine seemed to have the power to remove her pain.
 Mrs. Glynn, sister of Mrs. Newell, Is a professional nurse, and was familiar with the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs Newell was away on visit when reporter called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives at No. 416 East One-hundred aBd-twentietll Street, told the story of her sisters re coveIy.
 A doctor was called when Mrs. Newelps condition became serious and he prescribed small pink pills which, in short time, re heved the Woman'S pain as no other medi cine has done After awhile,n Mrs. Glynr told the reporter, i've learned that the medi cine the physician was giving my sister was nothing more than Dr. Wilhamss Pink Pill. for Pale People, Knowing by experience bow excellent Q remedy these pills were Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store and continued taking them. The effect was most gratifying, for in six months my sister was perfectly well and the pain in her bach was nothing more than an uL pleasant mem ory. Both she and have recommended the Pink Pills to other people, who have moi failed to find them all that is claimed Al the doctors my sister had been treated by before taking the pills, had done her no ap parent good''

THE UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
Some of the Causes of Trouble Between
 Husband and Wife.

Some of the Causes of Trouble Between
 Husband and Wife.
 When two people have entered into the relation of marriage, calling God and man to witness, they have per formed an act as sacred as a saera- ment- --one held in some forms of re- Hgious belief to be indeed sacrament. It seems strange that into the awful ness of anything approaching a sacra- ment, relation reaching back among the mysteries of creation in it's potent results, people should allow small and trivial concerns to make dissidence.
 But in too many marriages this is what happens. A thoughtless wife maddens worried husband an exact- ing husband wearies and wears out st high-spirited wife. Sometimes they fight It out in the union; and though harm is done, it is much less harm than eomes in the more public way. Some- times the wronged party has regard to the speech of people, thinks of others. of acquaintances, friends, parents. children, and bears the burden as best it may be borne; sometimes thinks of auty. and calls on Heaven for help; sometimes, when love and happiness are gone, finds comfort in the love of Heaven. Sometimes forgetfulness is nearly attained in some of the thou sand pursuits of science, art, charity or business. One thing is certain, that forgetfulness may be found. And an other thing is equally certain, that it is the duty of both parties to find it.
 Because a wife loses her first bloom. because her husband outgrows her ill- tellectually, because another has come to seem lovelier in his eyes, husband is afforded thereby no excuse whatever for absolving himself from his mar riage vows. Because husband is sell fish, because he is parsimonious or mean, because he is tyrannical, because he objects to her friends, wife has no more excuse. Life may become all but unbearable with him or with her; but if there are children with future to be considered, it is to be borne, and duty and decency must enforce be- havior before the children that shall hinder their injury from wrong influ- ences so far as possible. It may be hard to bear; it may be almost impossible: but self-eontrol is an invaluable ally. The utmost frivolity, the utmost in difference to his wishes, does not jus tify husband in pulling the cloth from the table and all the china with 1t; his pulling the cloth off does not justify her in putting herself under the illegal protection of another man. We do not say, indeed, that if husband persists against his wife's wish in introducing into the family an element or a person that the wife knows to be poisonous to herself or to her children, or that if the wife persists against her husbands wish in any corresponding eourses that either party may not be justified in tine determination to live apart from the other. But there is. at any rate, dig nity i'll a separation that is entirely wanting in a divorce. And surely there is still a great deal of happiness possi- ble ill d dignifed and virtuous separa- ton, if it is only the happiness of ac- quired peace and freedom.-Harper's Bazar.
