Use Made of Peach Stones.

Some people may wonder what be-
comes of all the peach stones, knowing,
of course, that there must be great
quantities of them, from the millions
of bushels of peaches grown from year
to year and sold in the markets. Peach
stones were formerly bought by several
nursery firms of Baltimore, who, in
turn, dried and assorted them, and
sold large quantities in the south. The
state of Georgia took a great many;
so also the west, especially the state Of
Michigan, and, in fact, wherever it
was thought peach orchards could be
set out to advantage. Then the whole
sale druggists took them, but in lin
tied quantities, for their prussic acid
ingredients. They were also stored by
the packers, and sold at about $3.50
per CARLOAD of, say, 25 bushels, and
those not sold in the manner mentioned
were used for fuel in the winter after
they were we'll dried. But this year
there seems to be no demand for them,
and packers who have room to do so
Ire drying them for fuel.

Easy Lessons About Money.

At first all money was weighed in
scales. The first money trade told in the
Bible was in silver, And Abraham
weighed to Ephron 400 shekels of silver,
current money with the merchant" A
shekel was half an ounce.
1t was not easy to carry round pair
of scales and weigh out metal each
time there was a trade. So coins were
made
A shekel or some weight of silver or
of gold was weighed out, melted to-
gether and stamped with a die show
ing its weight. Now money could be
counted instead of weighed out. This
made trading much easier.
Anything that makes trading easier
betters trade.
Silver was first in general use for
coins. But as people became better off
and had larger trades to make silver
was too weighty. So gold came into use.
AS nations have become better off
they have come to use gold more than
silver. The great trading nations now
use the gold standard and only the
poorer nations the silver standard for
their money systems.-N. Y. World.

WESLEY In SAVANNAH.
The Church In Which He Preached
Is Still Standing.
For Two Years the Founder of Methodism
Lived In America as Missionary
How He Established the First
Sunday School.

The church in which John Wesley,
the founder of Methodism, preached for
nearly two years, and in which he or
ganized the first Sunday school, is yet
standing in Savannah, Ga.
1t is one of many interesting relics
that recall old colonial days in the
quaint Georgian city. Here the severe
teacher of the Eighteenth century
taught the tenets of the Anglican faith
before he led the way for the growth
of what is now the second largest body
of Christians in America, with a mem
bership of 100000.
Christ church, as it is called to-day,
tanks Johnson square at the foot of
Bull street. This building is the mother
of the Episcopal communion in Georgia.
The parish was founded soon after the
settlement of Savannah in 1873. The
edifice was begun in 1743, but not COM
pleted until several years after, when
the building was added to and i'm
proved.
The founder of the church was Rev.
Henry Herbert, who came from Eng
land with Gen. James Oglethorpe, the
founder of the Georgia colony. John
Wesley succeeded Herbert in 1885 as
rector of the church, where he re-
manned until his return to England two
years later. His austere opinions, as
celtic habits and severe discipline were
distasteful to his communicates. AS
the great reformer said on his return
home, "he preached not as he ought
but as he was able" The results of
his work were not altogether success
full, which was the cause of the aban-
donment of his American mission.
1t was in this church that John Yves
ley established the first Sunday school,
nearly so years before Herbert Raikes,
who is regarded as the founder of the
first Sunday school in England, opened
his school at Gloucester. Among the
duties imposed upon the communicates
of Christ church at that time was COM
pulsatory attendance of their children
at Sunday school, which was held twice
week. The children were arranged
in classes, as is the custom at present,
and the teachers We're paid a salary
of a shilling a week. Each scholar was

THE KENTUCKY ANGELS.
An Extensive Family Settlement
Of Singular People.
There Arc Nearly Five Hundred of Them
Along Jellico Creek In the Eastern
Part of Kentucky-Some of
the Family Traits.

Kentucky's "Angel Settlement" is in
the mountains of Whitley county, II
miles from Williamsburg, and the
colony is composed of an interesting
and singular people. There are, to be
sure, angels" in large numbers in
Clay, Harlan and other eastern Ken
lucky counties, but the main family,
and the settlement which has been ia
nous for many years, is the Whitley
county band. All Angels who do not
trace to that origin are spurious.
The angel settlement" says the New
York Tribune, derives its title from the
family name of it's inhabitants, and,
singularly enough, the best-known and
most influential man in the colony is
arch" Angel, or "Old Arch" as he is
commonly known. How many Angels
are there in the settlement? Nobody
knows. They are scattered up and
down Jellico creek and over the noun
tains, and a census has never been
taken. There are Louis, and Tom, and
Arch, and "Old Bill" and Jim, and Nym,
and "Jim's Nym," "Nym's Bill" and
BILLS Nym," and so on. 1t is to be
understood from BILLS Nym" that both
Bill and Jim Angel have sons named
Nym, and that their fathers baptismal
names have TO be used in connection
with theirs in order to prevent confus-
ion. 1t may also be added that Bills
Nym and Jim's Nym have families, for
they are a marrying people and pro-
life. And then there are the Wright
ses" and "Rainses" who have married
female Angels and multiplied and re-
plenished the earth and are numbered
with those who go to make up the far
famed Angel settlement.
AS before said, "Old Arch" is the most
interesting Angel in the band. All of
the rest of the Angels, and some who are
not Angels, fear him. He is seated upon
500 acres OF valuable coal and timber
land, and part of his title to the prop
erty is a gun. His cabin is a study. 1t
is thoroughly characteristic. 1t looks
as if it might have been built a century
ago, and it no doubt was. There is one
room to the mansion, with a shed in
the rear. In this room sleep "Old Arch"
and Little Arch" "Old Arch's oman"
and "Old Arch's gal" There are four

Why Does Not MIR. Bryan Answer

Mr.. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise the
metal to $1.29 per ounce, bringing the
silver dollar to par with the gold dol
lar, thus giving city workingmen an
other dollar as good as the present one
with which to buy the farmers prod
ucts.
That is to say, to the farmer the
Bryan silver dollar is to be a cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor
the Bryan dollar is to be dollar of
high purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. 1t can produce only
one of the two. Why do not would-be
supporters of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farm
er, who wants to pay debts, and the
workingman, who must buy farm prod
uce, are interested in having this ques-
ton answered.-Chicago Times-Her-

SILVER IN A NUTSHELL.
Free Coinage of Bricks Would Not Rails,
Their Price.

free Coinage OF Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price.
Did you ever stop to think what would
be the result if the government should
by legislation determine that ordinary
building bricks two by four by eight
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for one dollar each and
should arrange to have them so stamped
IN any quantity free of cost to the per-
sons presenting them?
Under such circumstances the price
e.f building bricks would at once adj
vance to $1,000 a thousand, for if they
could be coined" without cost the
bricks "uncoined" would be worth just
as much as the coined" bricks-one
dollar each. But did it ever occur TO
you that it would not be an advance in
the value of the bricks. but a decrease
in the value of the dollars, which would
thus establish a new parity between
money and property" that under such
system $1,000 would be worth only
1000 bricks; that that 1000 bricks
would exchange for no more commodi-
ties or labor than it does to-day, and
consequently that $1,000 would mean
no more to us than 1000 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what COM
modify and what amount of that COM
modify one dollar shall be, but it must
leave it to the laws of comparative sup
ply and demand, cost of production,
ETC., to determine what the value of that
commodity shall be. It may declare
that brick shall be dollar, in which
case one dollar will be worth whatever
a brick will exchange for. 1t may de-
clare that 25.S grains of gold shall be a
dollar, in which case one dollar will be
worth whatever 25.S grains of gold will
exchange for, or it may declare that
412b grains of silver shall be a dollar,
in which case one dollar will be worth
only what 4121s grains Of silver will ex-
change for, the same to-day as 50.3 cents
in gold, or, giving the debtor the OPP
ton" as to what dollar he shall use
with which to pay his debts, it may de-
clare that each of these three shall be a
dollar, in which case one dollar will be
worth just as much as the least valuable
of the three, which under present con-
ditions would be the brick.-L. Carroll

beds in the room, besides the dining
room and kitchen furniture. Miss
Angel, Mrs. Angel and the old man
could not be induced to face the kodak,
but Little Arch" was rather glad to
have his "pictur TUX" He is very
promising youngster.
"Old Arch" once shot his brother,
"Old Tom" Old Toms boys and
Arch's youngsters got into fight, and
Arch's boys were getting the best Of
it, when Old Tom took hand in the
engagement and chased his nephews
homeward. Arch saw them coming,
took in tho situation at a glance,
reached for his gun, and fired. Tom
fell with bullet in his breast. Since
then there has bene something of cool
ness between the houses of Thomas
and Archibald.
The magnitude and Importance Of
the Angel settlement is indicated by
the fact that Uncle Sam has established
a post office there, and considerable
mail matter is received at Angel, Whit
ley county, Ky. Louis Angel is the
postmaster. His residence, which is
also the post Office, is on what he calls
"Cap-a-shin crick." Arch and Tom,
and other influential Angels, live across
the mountain on Rock creek and along
the banks of the picturesque Jellico and
its tributaries to the number of nigh
onto $780," as near as Old Tom can calcu-
late.
These Kentucky Angels trace their
origin from James Angel, who moved
into the mountains of Kentucky from
one of the Carolinas many years ago.
He was an eccentric man, possessed OF
great wealth and owned slaves. He
took I'D several thousand acres of land,
married, and reared a family of ten
boys. These boys, in turn, married and
had large families, and SO the multi
plication went on. at the rate of ten
times ten, until the hillsides and val
leys almost swarm with Angels. There
are family peculiarities which have
been intensified by intermarrying. Old
Arch, for instance, married his first
cousin, and one of his sons followed
this up by espousing his first cousin.
Thus it is that in Old Arch's household
the characteristic fiery red hair and
blue eyes of the Angels are found in all
their beauty and purity.
In the Angel settlement schoolhouses
and churches are scarce, and when such
structures are encountered they are
curiosities. 1t takes a man of pretty
strong nerve, too, to preach and teach
there. Some disastrous disturbances
have started in "meetin'." Thereabouts
it is not considered altogether bad form
to take several long-eared, NANCY ours
to church, and occasionally the dogs get
to fighting during the delivery of the
sermon. Then if some fellow kicks an
other mans dog trouble follows atonce,
and at once there is lively war on, in
which pistols, knives, clubs and stones
play leading parts and a healthy "feud"
is started which may run through sew
erei generations.
