The maker OF them had been heavily

We are told that it was rash to IN.

in the long run the savings funds that

Eylls Of HOme Extrayagance,

No other thing in this world so nerves
true mans soul with energy and
strengthens his heart for the conflicts Of
life as the devoted, unselfsh love Of q
true wife, says Christian Herald. For
such wife he can toll night and day
and never weary. On the other hand,
there is nothing that 80 completely dis
hearlens man and causes him to de-
spair amid life's toll as the cold, selfish,
unsatis6ed, perpetual fault-fnding of
woman who, although legally a wife,
only seeks the qualification Of her own
selfish Whims, regardless Of the ease and
comfort Of her husband. When fashion
must be lived up to regardless Of the
excess Of expenditure over income,
whore the faithful hard-working husband
has to be overburdened with debt and
worry that the wife eau make as much
display and live in the same pretentious
style as her more wealthy neighbors,
there is no true love for the husband;
and the fact, so often impressed upon
his mind, wounds his soul and drives
him to the verge Of despair.

Would Free Coinage Be WOrseG

We heard during the campaign much
about the anticipated dangers to savings
fund depositors lurking in free coinage.
We we're not told Of the present dangers
to such depositors lurking in tho gold
standard. Now comes q significant OBJ.
ject lesson from New Hampshire. Within
in eighteen months twenty-five savings
institutions in that state, with deposits
aggregating nearly S1s, 100000, have
been forced to suspend. And what is
the reason? Simply inability Of those
to whom they had loaned the moneys
deposited with them to pay either prin-
cipal or interest. It was largely in farm
mortgages that these savings funds had
invested. And why the inability OF
these farmers to pay interest on their
loan, much lees the principal? Low
prices, nothing more nor less-loW
prices brought about BY the diScarding
OF silver and the establishment Of gold
as our measure Of value. Clearly Ehs

Baby,s Coming,

Nature intended that every woman
should look forward to the coming Of her
baby with JOY and hope, unclouded by
anxiety. Almost painless parturitiOn is
quite the usual thing among uncivilized
people. Even in our own country it occa-
sionally happens with women In robust
health and good condition. It ought to be
the rule instead Of the exception; and it is
q fact that very large proportion OF the
usual pain and suffering may be avoided by
looking after the mothers general health,
and especially strengthening the particular
organs concerned In parturitiOn.
Many mothers have been brought through
the trying time almost painlessly by the
aid Of DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescription.
1t prepares the system for delivery by inn
parting the organic strength and elasticity
which the mother specially needs; shortens
the time Of labor and Of confinement; pro-
notes the secretion Of abundant nourIsh.

The Foreign Vote.

The OregoDiGH looks upon foreigners
as allies of the gold standard forces in
the contest with bimstallism. We quote:
"Denucistion Of our foreign-born popu-
lstion should be tempered with iudg-
ment. We needed the foreign-born
citizen and voter sorely this year, to
protect the country against the native
fool" It may be sign Of smartness to
call our native citizens who happen to
believe in the equal use Of both gold and
silver "fools;" but it is not likely to con-
vert them to gold monometallism. On
the other hand, the fact that the for
eigners, to a large extent, voted the gold
standard ticket does not prove that they
were necessarily wiser than our native
citizens, nor that they will continue TO
vote to keep up q system which causes
falling prices for products and the de-
probation Of all real PROPERTY. A Ger
man, for example, may this year have
voted for the gold standard because it is,
just now, the standard Of the father
land; but when he finds that in Germany
the farmers are nearly unanimous for
bimetallism, and that his country is
about ready to adopt the double stand
ard, or finds that they have adopted it,
and that 1t is for the interest of nearly
every class in this country except the
money-chsngers, to return to bimetal-
lism, he will vote in accordance with
common sense and not in accordance
with what was the fashion in his native
country at the time he emigrsted. The
foreigner is, as q rule, sure to find out
in time where his interests lie, and vote
that way. From q lack Of familiarity
with the language he may be backward
in taking up a new issue, but the in
telligsnt foreigner is sure to go with the
native American if you give him time
enough to investigate and fully under
stand the bearings Of this currency
question. Farm Field and FireSide.
