frankly admit that the south has not
been able to make anything like the
the same progress as Japan. 1t has
not been able in ten years to increase
its cotton spinning capacity 1882 per

preparing to move their entire business

Germany have so far suffered more

the United States, but we have also
suffered, and are likely to suffer more
and more every day as long as the
present financial conditions continue.

Intrinsic Value.

The word intrinsic" has made a
great deal Of trouble, Many people
embrace the doctrine of gold mono
metallism because they have been
taught to believe that gold is a metal
of intrinsic value, and that every dol
lar coined and of redemption quality
must have a dollars worth of material
in it. They are invested with the no.
ton that it is the gold in the dollar
which makes the dollar. Exactly the
opposite proposition is the true one. 1t
is the authority conferred on congress
by the constitution and the legislative
declaration that gives money value to
the gold. 1t may be worth more or
less than the coinage rate for the pur-
pose of the arts, but the law fixes the
dollar and determines what metal it
shall be made of, and how much metal
may be used. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Frof. F~rankland told some very in

ganisms sent into Niagara river from

dous leap over the great falls, and pass
through the fearful turmoil of the
rapids and whirlpooIs beneath with lit
tie or no harm. But after they have
reached the placid waters of Lake On
tarlo they rapidly perish, and almost
entirely disappear. This and many
other similar facts were adduced to
show that quiet subsistence in undis-
turbed water is far more fatal to bac'

known citizens, has sou, L. H. In San
Marta, departmen. OF Magdalena, Colo moin,
South America. The young man has peen
in business there for several years, and Is
doing we'll. In a recent letter to his father
Young Spillsrd, in a postscript, remarks: u
shall now recount to you fact that Is
stranger than fiction" He then goes on to
state that he was in the sitting room OF a
hotel in San Marta recently and witnessed
the occurrence he details. Three generat
officers of tha Colombian army. then on
tour OF inspection. were also in the hotel SIT
ting room. Soon poor woman came INTO
the apartment asking for aims. Her condl- :
ton was most pitiful, and. to add to her SAD
condition, her head was bound up, hiding
cancer on the forehead. She approached
the three officers and begged aid.
Two of the officers gave her twenty cents
each. The third one handed her 81. En-
couraged by the muuificenee ot the Dequest,
she respectfully requested the names OF her
banefactors. The one who gave her 81 said
his name was General Elias Rodriguez. Sald
the poor old mendicant: II had son OF
that name, and If he is alive nc IS aoout your
nye." This statement Interested the oHcer,
and after lengthy conversation In which
the bpppar woman rscounted her history, IT
was ascertained that General Rodriguez had
given aims to his OVID mother. In brief, the
General at once took her in charge, provided
literally for her. and she is now the happy
and respected guest OF honor IN his own
house. This story IS literally true. and
Young Mr.. Spillard by chance was witness
TO this strange ana romantic meeting OF
mother and son.
