This should be the end of folly
which has long endangered and in
jured the country's credit and the pros
perity of all American enterprises. 1t
should certainly make an end of all
doubt, at home and abroad, about the
good faith of the nation and it's resolute
purpose to pay all its coin obligations
in dollars worth 100 cents. The house
represents the latest expression of the
peoples will. Its attitude reflects the
sentiment of the country. Its vote
should be reminder to the senate
that the people have finally rejected
all flat-money schemes and are tired OF
the senatorial folly and obstinacy which
thrusts an outworn contention of dis
honesty into the pathway OF needed
legislation.-N. Y. World.

These 81 senator's represent by far
the greater part of the manufacturing
and commercial activities of the ma
tion, and Of its agricultural production.
They are in a minority in the senate,
but behind them are the people who
compose the majority of the American
voters, most of whom are wise enough
to know that the adoption of free coin
age would lnfict on them worse blow
than any they have suffered from since
the civil war. 1t is openly claimed
that one-half of the 16 southern sena-
tors who voted for free silver are con-
vinced the measure would be n detri-
ment to the people, but acted in defer
ence to the wishes of the wire-pullcrs,
who are ambitious to control the Sc
lection of party standard bearers. 4
they dared to be honest in the matter
there no longer would be free-si'ver
majority in the senate. The whole
financial trouble then would vanish
with the renewal of assurance that
there was no danger of the parity being
deranged or destroyed.-Chicago Trio-
une.

preclated currency-would he counterae led
by the depression in all industries ana the
lessened demand; and this depression would
continue for several years, affecting :he
price or several years products, while the
cheaper dollar could affect the lept hut

In short, It cannot be shown thar tho
coinage of silver demanded in the Chicago
platform will benefit any one excent the
hoarder OF gold, the silver mine owner or
the moneyed specuiator. Whether the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
OF 10 10 L gives us a dollar good as the
one we now have, or a cheap dollar the Ia
boring man, the school teacher, the clerk
the merchant, the manufac :urer, the miner
the railroad employe, the farm laborer and
the farmer out of debt will be injured: and
if the dollar be cheapened, as It must be
before any benefit can accrue to the small
minority of our population, the debtors
whose debts may be paid with cheap dol
lars, and all those carrying life Insurance
or having savings IN building and loan as
sociations or in savings banks. will also
be injured. For the people of this country
to heed the silver coinage demand of the
Chicago platform would he as intelligible
as If man were to demolish one side of
his dwelling to make yet more dry, warm
and luxurious the dwelling of some :ich
man, and to stop broken pane in his own.
Moreover, the destruction of the side of
the dwelling would be certain and COM
would be uncertain and incomplete.
The farmer will not do hat. True, the
abuse and ridicule of certain 'gJldi.e'
periodicals have sorely tempted him, as IL
would have sorely tempted any other man,
to vote for free silver: and the advocates
Of free silver have been quietly, persist
entity and adroitly working among the
farmers for more than two years. But the

passions that sway city rnasses, ard TO

heretofore-for the greatest good Of the
greatest number" He does not believe in
gold alone; he desires the largest coinage
of silver consistent with good faith and
good business; and he believes that it is
possible for an earnest and honest effort to
effect an international agreement that viii

he is decidedly opposed to ''the free and

FRESH FLOWERS AT SEA.
How the Rich Traveller Takes Them
With Him.

HOW the Rich Traveller Takes Them
With Him.
From the New York Tribune.
One Of the manages at Thorley's floral
establishment tells an interesting story
about the gifts Of flowers to departing
friends on the transatlantic liners: The
flowers that are used are In accordance
with the season. The season opens with
vielets. Then come roses, then carnc-
tions, and the last Of all are the orchids.
By far the greater number of the orders
are for flowers to be left In the saloon
Of the steamship on the morning of sail
ing, and by the time the Sandy Hook light
ship is sighted the flowers that are left in
this way are withered and gone. The rea-
son for this has been attributed by many
to the salt sea air, but according to the
florists the salt sea air has nothing to do
with the matter at all. The real reason is
some time in the saloon, and while the
liner Is in her dock, and in fact until she
is fairly out at sea, the saloon Is almost
Invariably insufferably hot and it is from
this cause that the blossoms wither and
die.
But lately another fad has come into
vogue, and that is the sending Of flowers to
be laid on the plate of the fair one every
morning in the course cf the voyage. as
fresh and fair as though they had only just
been plucked from the hothouse. The way
that this is done Is problem to many, but
in reality it Is a simple thing. The flowers
are first ordered and then they are paid
for. Those are the first steps, and they are
all that are taken by the sender. The flor
ist then sends a number of boxes to the
steward of the steamship, and they are put
in the cooling room. Each box is marked
with the date on which they are to be used,
and every morning the steward places the
contents of the right box beside the plate
of the chosen one at breakfast. In this
way flowers are made to bloom even on the
briny deep, but it costs money to make
them bloom.
Mr.. Emery in the Observer makes some
suggestions as to. the growing of flowers in
a school room for the instruction of the
children which teachers may find helpful.
He advises thai gardens be made in glass
jars or dishes and planted as follows: The
jar should be lnrge.mouthed, something on
the order Of those IN confectioners' shops,
and should be filed to within an inch of the
top with good soil. Then lay a row of
seeds, corn. peas, IAbeans, morning glory.
hemp etc.. around the edge next the glass
and add the inch Of BOIL needed to fiil tho
jar. The condition. Of the seed is the same
as it would he If planted in the ground.

process Of swelling, sprouting the root

far better idea,-eof the growth of the seed

reached the age of forty years 1t is abso-
lutely dangerous to adopt exercises sudden
and violent in their nature. Yet it is very
difficult to restrain them from taking such
work.
'Of course 1 do not mean to be under
stood as saying that heavy gymnasium
work Is not beneficial under any circum-
stances On the contrary, / am a great be-
Hever in it at the proper time But the
early exercises should in every instance
consist of light work. such as wands dumb
bells and similar things, in which overwork
Is impossible. Then, as the strength to-
gether with the endurance of the subject
Is gradually developed, the heavy work
may with advantage be taken up.
Ihere Is another popular impression
which L wish to correct. and that is that
the gymnasium is only for young people.
That Is not true. At least, 1t should not
be so. particularly in a city like WASH
ington. where so many people are so close
!y confined by business, and therefore are
In great need of exercise. And, as L have
said, the lightest exercise systematically
ana inteliigently taken, will work the most
patience and perseverance, and should
never forget that form cannot be changed
In day.
Primer of Exercise.
ITO one contemplating athletic exercise
I would make the following suggestions.
advising that the work of developing the
legs should be the first consideration. To
develop the lower parts of the legs walk
and run on the balls of the feet in easy
low-heeled shoes. Raise on the balls of
the feet forty fifty times. If the work
y done In gymnasium use the running
track. Then jumping the rope is an ex-
cellent practice care being taken to keep
well within easy endurance at first and
then gradually increasing the number of
Jumps. Not more than fifteen or twenty
jumps should be taken at first Such
work indulged in for a few months will
not only largely increase the girth of the
calves. but will also give the lower legs
great strength.
Now. to develop the thighs most of the
exercises advised for the lower legs should
be indulged In, together with bending of
the body Whenever the body is bent
forward the knees should be kept stiff and
the hands kept raised high above the head,
the object being TO touch the floor with
the fingers. Running. jumping and also
dancing should also be practiced in this
connection, as well as squatting And in
this work 1t Is well to use the dumb bells
or barbell drill. In jumping do SO with
the feet apart and then slide them to-
gether on the floor. after landing, the inner
thighs thus being developed.
Very many people suffer from weak
ness IN the waist. and their weakness is
Observable in their swaying from side to
side In walking. OF the exercises to cor
rect that and strengthen the muscles Of

SHED HIS SKIN.
A Remarkable Tale That Comes From
Florida.

Fr1fn the FIOrlda IltlZen.
The case of John Allen, an eight-year-old
boy of this place, is puzzling the physi-
clans. Six weeks ago an orange thorn pen
etrated the boys hip, inflammation follow
ed, and the boy was soon horribly swollen
from head to foot. Finally, the swelling
subsided, but the boy Immediately began TO
shed his skin. That on the face came off
separately, but from the neck down the
cuticle remained intact and moved off by
way of the hands and feet without break
ing. The cuticie was five days in passing
off, and during that time the boy remained
on the bed wriggling like a snake at the
nolting time. The child seemed to be I'm no
pain, but complained of tickling sensation
and of a crawling of the flesh. When the
cCticle had been shed the boy Immediately
recovered and is now well as ever. The
skin which is shed is on exhibition at a
physicians office. 1t is a perfect cast OF
the human form from the neck down, and
is about the consistency of hard glue,
which it much resembles

the side or waist one Of the best is hop
ping, using first one foot and then the
other. But great care should be taken to
step this exercise before the hopper be-
comes fatigued. Wrestling, balancing and
walking on a rail, together with wand
and dumb bell drills, are also to be COM
mended for the waist muscles Also bend
ing of the body from side to side, and the
use of pulley weights. as we'll as the use
of the regular waist developer.
Muscles of the Abdomen.
THE development of the abdominalnmus-
cles is another very important matter, and
for exercises of this kind a mat, known
as the abdominal, is used. When it is
placed on the floor persons should lie ex-
tended on it, face upward. Then the legs
should be brought up to vertical position
to make a right angle of the body, and
then downward until fatigue is near.
Next, the body should be brought to
sitting position until fatigue is again near.
Then the person should sit on low stool
with feet fastened to the floor, when the
body should be worked forward and back
ward. a movement which acts directly on
the abdominal muscles, as does the act Of
bending the body forward while in an
erect position.

with these exercises. which effect a GER
tain massage result on the particular mus
cles, dumb bells and barbell drills. pulley
weights and running should be INDUCED
in the knees, in running, to be raised
high. Under such treatment the abdom-
inal muscles will be not only wonderfully
developed, but also as wonderfully
strengthened. and the man who is so
equipped possesses an advantage over his
fellow man who lacks that strength which
it is not easy to estimate.
while most of the exercises recon-
mended for the development of the abdom-
inal muscles tell more or less on the
muscles of the loirs, l would suggest in
addition the swinging of bells between the
feet and also upward above the head. In
fact. any work which requires the bending
of the body materially benefits the muscles
of the loins, and rowing IS, therefore. of
very great advantage. The Use of dumb
bells is particularly effective, and for
Hian bells Weighing from twenty to thirty
pounds should be Used. They should be
placed on the ground between the feet, and
then raised first with one hand and then
with the other high above the head, being
returned each time to the floor between

carriage and appearance. In the case of a
man weighing 130 pounds. who has had
some gymnasium or other athletic expert
ence. 1 would suggest in the first place the
use Of dumb bells of from three to five
pounds each in exercises for filing out the
shoulders. A bell should be held in each
hand, the arms being kept stiff and the
hands placed first beside the thighs. That
position taken, the hands should be
brought upward and horizon tally until the
bells toucn over the head, then downward
to the first position. This movement should
be induiGei in easily and slowly from
eight to ten times at first, gradually in
