rHE GOLD STANDARD.
ho~ it Has Oppressed the Rropia- P-oa,

sitiOas Refuted.
The New York Finaneier. an or,,,
OF the street." prints the followin :.
secretary Carlisle, in a speech at
Bowling Green, KY, May 25, 1895, laid
down the following five propositions:
That there is not a free COINAGE
country in the world to-day that ia not
on silver basis
That there Is not a gold stand.
ard country In the world to-day that
does not use silver as money along
with gold.
- That there is not silver stand
ard country in the world to-day that
uses any gold as money along with
silver.
That there is not q silver stand
ard country In the world to-day that
has more than ons-third as much money
IN circulation per Lspita as the United
have; and X
That there is not silver stand.
ard country in the world to-day where
sne iaooring man receives fair pay for
his days work.
up TO the present time no person
has successfully controverted these as
sertions, although they have been pub
lished throughout the length and
breadth of the land"
But what bearing have these promo
sitlons on the argument in favor of
the restoration of silver as a part Of
tne primary money of the United
otatesF They bear no more relation
10 the money question in this country
tnan the statement that the moon has
no atmosphere. Nobody cares wheth-
er IL has or not Nevertheless, the
nVe propositions suggest others that
are more interesting. We place them
In shape and turn them over to our
gold standard friends:
!. There is not free coinage conn.
try in the world to-day that needs gold
as currency.
q There are not more than two free
coinage countries that ever did use
gold as part of their currency.
g. There is not free coinage coun-
try in the world to-day where the peo-
pie are not more prosperous now than
they were 20 years ago.
4. There is not gold standard conn
try in the world where the people ara
not less prosperous than thev were 20
years ago
D. There is nota gold standard coun-
Try IN the world where the average la
borer does not receive less for dav's
work than he did 20 years ago.
O. There is not gold standard conn.
'ry in the world to-day were business
$ not in u state of deep depression and
where prices and wages are not falling.
We lay down these propositions be.
cause the gold men have neglected to
include them. But the condition OF
other countries is beside the mark alto.

American financial system, an Alneri-
can currency, American progress and

 ''The SOlonhOfcn slate of Bavaria, " writes Professor H. G. Scclcy i'll his recent little volume, ''The Story of the Earth Ill Past Ages, " makes known numerous insects and other forms of tor restrial life of this period, including tho oldest known bird. A bird is knoNNI by it's feathers. though there is no reason why the covering to tho skin should not Do as variable ill this group cf animals as among reptiles or mammals. It is, therefore, remarkable that tho oldest known bird, the archHOpteryx, has feathers as well developed as ill tho cx- isting representatives of the class and similarly arranged.
 The animal is an elegant, slender bird, which is chiefly remarkable for showing teeth ill tho jaws About 12, short and cOnical, occur on each side of tho upper jaw. The bird was larger than the robin ill it's body and had a tail of which there was Q bony core some six inches ill length. Tho wings werc quite as well developed as tho legs, and there arc sOmo evidences that the former could bo applied to the ground, as arc tho foro legs of quadrupeds, al- though the feathers show tho wings to have been constructed on tho same plan as the birds of today. The Solenhofen stone, ill which so many of tho remains of fishes, reptiles and insects arc found, is tho samo as that used for Photographic purposes, being of exceeding closo tex ture and of remarkable smOothness when prepared for it's work.

When His Nerve Failed.

The cruclties of the French revolution lose nothing by the manner ill which Baron Ferdinand Rothschild has de- scribed them ill his book:
 ''By far the most wantonly savage of the Republican commissioners was Lo- bon, who exercised tho powers of a pro consul at Arras. The Marquis de Viel- fort was lying bound under the knife of the guillOtine when Lebon, who was looking on from the balcony of a neigh boring house, made a sign to suspend the execution. The mob, fancying he meant to pardon the condemned man, were greatly surprised at such unwOnt- ed clemency on his part. Lebon, how ever, took newspaper from his pocket, read out long account of a victory the Republican army had just gained and ended by shouting to tho marquis, Will lain, go and inform your friends of the news of our victories.
 ''Michclct relates that man known for his colossal strength and iron nerve betted that he would stand by and sec tho executions from first to last without faltering. For some timo he unninch- ingly boro tho sight, but when young girl named Nichole, a moro child, step ped forward, lay down Cn tho plank and gently asked tho executioncr, Am I right this way?' his brain rceled and he dropped ill q dead faint"

Wonderful Figures on Sunlight.

From a comparison of the relative in- tensity of solar, lunar and artificial light, as determined by Professors Euler and Wollaston, it appears that tho rays of tho sun havc an Illuminating power that ia wonderful i'll tho extreme. Ac- cording U their deductions, the illumi- hating power of tho ''great day star" is equal to that of 14,OOO candles at a distance of ono foot, or of $500, 900, - 900, 900, 900, GOO, 900, 900. 900 candles at a distance of 1000, 900 miles. From the above figures it follows that the amount of light which flows from the solar orb could not be produced by the daily burning of 900 globes of tallow, equal to tho earth in magnitude Louis Republic.

Tale by a Philadelphia Lawyer Which
 Would Puzzle One to Decide.
 This is an after dinner story told by a we'll known lawyer the other evening, illustrative of legal difficulties that may arise even ill the carrying out of the most amicablo contracts:
 There were once four brothers. who had inherited storage warehouse from their father and who equally divided the property among them. Among the appurtenances thereto was Cat, fine animal, excellent for housing, and this, too, was divided, the elder brother own ing the right front quarter, the second brother the left front quarter and the younger brothers the two hind quarters. Now, unfortunately, the cat in one of it's nocturnal prowls injured the right front paw, and the elder brother at tended to that portion of his property by binding tho injured member with @ greased rag. The cat, thankful for this relief to it's suffering, went to sleep contentedly before tho fire, but in the midst of its slumbcrs falling coal ig- nited tho rag, and the animal, bowling with agony, dashed through the ware- house, and, coming in contact with some combustibles, set the building on fire.
 When tho loss came to bo figured out the three younger brothers wished to throw it all upon the elder, upon the ground that liad he not tied up his part of tho cat with tho infammable rag the building would not have been destroy ed. He, on the contrary, contended that had the cat only been possessed of the front right paw-his property would have stood still and burned to death. It was the three other paws that caused the damage. The brothers argued the case until they died, but could never reach an agreemcnt.-Philadclphia Rec ord
