II certainly Is disheartening to pa
tent to find that the treatment he is
given for a disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches Of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely 10

poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
DOCTORS prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said Of the HARM
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable 10 rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one ef-
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, biz it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored
splotches are but indications OF worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects OF this
powerful drug than that suppleuess
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

The Home Of the ouIpcys In Quincy.

There will be very general gratifica-
ton in the authoritative denial Of the
rumor that the old homestead of the
Quincys, in Quincy, Mass, must give
way before the march Of progress II
still remains in the Quincy family, and
will be sacredly guarded from the de-
stroyer's hand many a year to come.
This venerable landmark, situated
some 100 yards back from Hancock
street, dates back to colonial days, when
the Adamses and the Quincys kept
"open house" for all the dignitaries Of
those early times. Here Washington
and Lafayette, successive governors of
Massachusetts,, Boston's mayors and
prominent national, state and municipal
leaders were often made welcome. Here
were born and reared two Of Boston's
distinguished mayors, the grandfather
and great-grandfather Of the present
mayor, who was himself born in the
only less famous Quincy mansion, which
stands near by; here, too, in later days
were entertained right royalty illustri-

MIST AFTER MANY DAYS.
Curious Scene In a London Hotel B'
tween Two Elderly Americans.

Curlous Scene In London Hotel Be-
tween Two Elderly Americans.
There was remarkable scene at q
Northumberland avenue hotel recently.
1t seems that a party of newly arrived
Americans, most of them strangers to
each other, were sitting at luncheon,
and one Of them was with an English
friend who had called to see him.
The conversation between the two
naturally drifted back to the wartime,
and the American, who had been a Fed
eral. described some Of his adventures
and how at one place the opposing SOL
diers used to work so near each other in
the trenches that they were able to en-
gage in conversation and surreptitiously
exchange tobacco and tea, the north
erners having plenty Of the latter and
none of the former, while the southern
ers were in exactly the opposite condl-
ton. But, he continued, the most curl
Gus "swap' he ever made was small
packet of quinine for a pound OF to-
bacco, to which the Confederate added
a curiously carved wooden pipe That
pipe he had kept ever since, because ne
regarded it and the tobacco as having
saved his life, for somehow or other his
superior officer had come to know that
he possessed a quantity Of 1.-THE weed "
and ordered him to report himself con-
corning it. Before he could regain his
post a skirmish occurred, and the man
who was in his place was killed.
At this point a tall, sunburned Amerl-
can with white hair and beard, who had
been listening to the other with consld-
cradle emotion, interrupted with, "Ex-
cuse me, though am stranger to you,
but didn't that southerner tell you that
the uuinine was for his little daughter,
who was down with fever!"
eyes, " said the other, "and didn't
the northerner say that his little girl
was i'll Of fever too, but he would share
her medicine with the other little one,
even without the tobacco:'
"Why, yes" cried the. original mar
rator, Il believe he did, and that was
me. "
"And 1 was the southerner, " cried
the other, land here is my daughter,
whose life you helped to save, and

her.

saws that there was then such scene Of
handshaking, introductions and con-
gratulations as must have made people
at the other tables think the company
must have been visitors from bedlam.
The northerner had also a daughter
with him, who was widow, and the en-
brace Of the two women who had never
seen each other before, but whose early
lives had so closely touched, was pecul-
iarly affecting

will tell you what this government
can do alone. 1t can fix its money unit.
1t can declare by law what shall be the
relative value Of an ounce Of gold and
an ounce of silver, but it cannot make
that last declaration good. 1t is unques-
tiorably fully within the power of this
government to bring this country to a
silver basis by coming silver dollars and
making them legal tender. They can do
that. This government can say you shall
take one Of those dollars in discharge Of
any debt owing to you for 81, notwith-
standing you may have loaned gold dol
lars; but it cannot say, and enforce its
decree, if you should call out the regular
army and navy and muster all our great
modern ships and add the militia, and
put William J. Bryan in command OF
them-it cannot enforce the decree that
| ounce of gold is the equivalent Of l6
ounces of silver. Not only that, not
France and England and Germany can
do that unless the markets respond.
Why? You may make me take silver
dollar for debt, but if l have bought
my goods at gold prices you cannot
make me give as many yards Of cloth
for a silver dollar as l have been in the
habit of giving for a gold one.
II l have a gold dollar in this hand
and a silver one in that, and you declare
they are equal, and can take that gold
dollar TO a bullion broker and get 81 for
it. | know it is lie. If have nothing
but gold dollar, and sugar is 20
pounds for 81, will not give that gold
dollar for 20 pounds Of sugar. will
take it around to a broker and get two
silver dollars for it and get the 20
pounds Of sugar and have one silver
dollar left So it is, my friends. We can
of ourselves, Of our own wisdom, de-
clare the unit Of value We can coin sill
yer freely, but we cannot make 10
ounces Of silver equal to ounce OF gold
unless it is And it is not unless the
merchants take it at that rate That is
where all this thing comes in. 1t Is
trade, it is the merchant, it is the man
who exchanges and deals in these things
that fixes the relative value, and if you
do not take the value he fixes the gold
dollar will go back to the gold vault,
and the gold will go out Of circulation.

According to the best authorities on
curiosities Of the navy and warfare IN
general, the first armored vessel was
launched in the year 1880. 1t was one
Of the fleet manned by the Knights OF
ST. John and was entirely covered with
sheets Of lead. The accounts of the times
leave us in darkness as to the thickness
of this lead armOr, but they are very
positive in the statement that they We're
of sufficient strength to successfully
resist all the shots of that day" At the
siege Of Gibraltar in 1882 the French
and Spaniards used war vessels which
were armored with eight iron BOOM
proofng over their decks and to the
waters edge" The very first practical
use Of wrought iron plates as a defense
for the sides of vessels was by the
French in the Crimean war in 1862

Jolly Asistic Merchants.
A large number Of the merchants en-
gagged in trade gave me one day stump
tuous feast in a fruit garden a short dis
lance outside Yarkand. Few people
know the way to enjoy life and make
themselves comfortable better than
these merchants. We first Of all sat
about under the shade Of the trees, while
huge punches Of grapes and delicious
melons and peaches were freshly pluckod
and brought to Us to eat. Then dinner
was announced, and after water for
washing the hands had been passed
round, we set TO eat dish after dish OF
"pillaos" and stews, all beautifully
cooked, and we ended up with pud-
ding made Of whipped egg and sugar
and some other ingredients, which it
would be hard TO beat anywhere. All
the time the merchants were chatting
away among themselves and were as
gay and laxative as Frenchmen. You
could scarcely wish for better company
OF more genial hosts.
On the way home we had races, each
merchant trying to make out that his
own horse was better than the others.
These men are curious mixture of
eastern gravity and politeness and boy
ISL spirits and fun. They will come TO
call on you and talk away with the
greatest solemnity and difference. You
meet them next day out for burst Of
enjoyment, and every sign of gravity is
thrown away and they are as free and
natural and full Of lifr as children. -

Senator Teller Heard From

Senator Henry n. Teller, in a great
speech delivered ut Morrison, ILL.,, Sept.
Z, said: 81 want to challenge the
statement that has been made, and is
being repeated from day to day, that
we had prosperity in 1888 that we had
it in 1889, or that we had it in 1890 or
'92. In 1873 the American silver dollar
was stricken out of the list of American
coins. l do not regard it as of the
slightest consequence to the American
people how it was done. The fact exists
that it was done, and the evil which
followed, in my judgment, is too APP
parent to be denied.
81 know one thing in reference to
the demonstration of the American
silver dollar. | know that no news
paper editor previous to 1878 had ever
written an article in defense of the
single gold standard. / know that no
American newspaper had ever advo-
Gated the decentralization of silver, and
/ know that no American speaker any
where had suggested to the American
people that the silver dollar was not
good enough to do money duty and
should be gotten rid of. l know, and
you know, that it was q good dollar
then, and was worth more than q gold
dollar.
"Ghe great republican party that L
joined in my early life departed from
the platform of 1868 and the platform
Of 1892. 1t tells you now that the pres
ent gold standard must be maintained.
| The provision for international bimet-
allism is to make you believe, as they
made me believe in 1892, that they were
in favor of honest bimetallism. We
! know that the history of international
bimetallism is that England alone pre-
vented its accomplishment in the inter
national conferences in 1878, 1881 and
1892. All the great countries of the
world sent their representatives, and
J the four greatest nations of the world
said that they were ready to go into
any international agreement to have
the use of silver all over the world, but
/ Great Britain stood out and said no.
