materially, but it affords a certain
amount of play between the overlap
ping sections.
The goddess, under the gentle in
fluence of old Sol, expands throughout
every part Of her enormous figure.
At night she in a measure draws her
robes more closely about her, as if to
protect herself from the cold. The
contraction of the copper sheets, it
may readily be seen, causes a gentle
motion, which produces very faint
rap. But this reverberates through the
vast interior, which magnifies it over
and over again and lends to it a gloomy,
hollow sound.
The members of the guard of honor,
who attend the goddess throughout the
night, tell many strange stories of the
haunted statue. Several of these
watchmen have preferred to give up
their position rather than listen to
these remarkable object lessons in
acoustics. They could not be persuaded
that the mysterious figure was not
haunted, and all said they had never
in their lives heard of any haunted
house which could boast half as many
hair-raising noises as the dignified god
dess. 1t sometimes happens, when the
contrast of temperature is greatest,
that the groans and rappings are loud
enough to be heard on the boats pass
ing close to the island. The sound of
hollow groans, accompanied by weird
ratings and other uncanny noises, has
frightened more than one superstitious
sailor as he floated across the dark
waters.

now roIes Get RID of Fleas.

Reynard is knowing animal. The
foxes are much tormented by feas, but
when the infliction becomes too severe
they know how to get rid of the insects.
They gather from the bark of trees
moss, which they carry to stream that
deepens by degrees. Here they enter
the water, still carrying the moss in
their mouths, and going backward, be.
ginning from the end of their tails, they
advance by slow degrees till the whole
body with the exception of the mouth
is entirely immersed. The fieas, during
this proceeding, have rushed in rapid
haste to the dry parts, and finally to the
moss, and the fox, when he has, ac-
cording to his calculation, allowed
sufficient time for all the fleas to take
their departure, quietly opens his
mouth. The moss floats off down the
stream with its burden of fleas, and
when it is out of jumping reach the fox
finds it's way to the bank much re-
lieved.

CROP CONDITIONS.
REPORTS FROM KANSAS, MISSOURI
AND NEBRASKA.
Kansas Shows Up Well-Rainfall Heavy in
Nebraska-Work at a Stand
still in Missouri.

TOPEKA, Kansas, May 2S.-The
weather crop bulletin for the past
week says: In the eastern division
vegetation is growing very rank,
the continued rain preventing cul-
tivation and weeds are taking the
advantage. All field work has been
stopped. In the middle and west
ern divisions the cool, cloudy
weather has been beneficial to
some small grains, though rain is
needed in the central and western
counties. Wheat is much i'm
proved, and in the south is nearly
ready for harvest. Corn Is doing
very we'll, but needs warmer
weather. Grasses are in good con-
dition and the ground is in good
shape.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 27.-The
Nebraska crop weather bulletin for
the past week says: The tempera-
ture has ranged from to degrees
above the normal. The rainfall
was heavy, delaying farm work,
but crops generally have grown
rapidly. Rye is in blossom and
wheat is heading. Slight damage
has been done to corn by washing
by the rains. Oats are not all
planted yet.
KANSAS CITY, May 27.-Missouri
crop bulletin for the past week
says: In nearly all sections farm
work has been at a standstill.
Early corn is getting very weedy
and is in need of cultivation
Planting is not yet finished in
some sections, and much replant-
ing will be necessary owing to the
washing Of rolling ground and the
overlooking OF bottoms. Wheat
has improved considerably in some
sections. In a number of counties
however, it is rusting badly. Oats
are generally doing we'll and grass
es are growing nicely. Bugs are
destroying meadows and pastures
of the northern counties. Cotton
is making rapid growth. Fruit IL
still dropping badly in some
places.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

Why President Hayes, In 1878, Vetoed the
Standard silver Dollar Coinage Act.
President Hayes believed that our ma
tional honor could not be too jealousy
guarded. In, this he differed radically
from our sixteen to one statesmen, who
are anxious not only to see our govern
ment repudiate one-half of its debts
but to see one-half of all debts repudi-
ated. 1t might be well for these hasty
statesmen to ponder some of Hayes
reasons for vetoing the act (passed over
his head) to coin and make legal ten
der silver dollars worth, in gold, only
90 to % cents. He said that "the right
to pay duties in silver or in silver Ger
tifcates for silver deposits will, when
they are issued in sufficient amount
to circulate, put an end to the receipt
of revenue in gold, and thus compel the
payment of silver for both the priu-
cipal and interest of the public debt"
He said that nearly s600,0o0,00o of
the funded debt then outstanding was
issued since 1873, when gold alone was
the coin for which the bonds were sold.
and gold alone was the coin in which
both parties to the contract understood
that the bonds would be paid" These
bonds" he continues. entered into the
markets of the world. They were paid
for in gold when silver had greatly de-
preciated and when no one would have
bought them If it had been understood
that they would be paid in silver"
He believed that, in the judgment Of
mankind, It would be an act of bad faith
not to guarantee that pre-existing debts
should be paid in as good money as was
legal tender when these debts were con ,
tracted-in other words, that the gov
eminent should not legalize the break
ing Of contracts. 1.-THE standard Of val
ue," he said, should not be changed
without the consent of both parties to
the contract. National promises should
be kept with unfinching fidelity. There
is no power to compel q nation to pay
its debts. It's credit depends on it's
honor. The nation owes what 1t has
led or allowed its creditors to expect ?
cannot approve a bill which In my
Judgment authorizes the violation Of
sacred obligations. The obligation Of
the public faith transcends all ques-
lions Of profit or public advantage. It's
unquestionable maintenance Is the die
tate as well of the highest expediency
as of the most necessary duty and should
be ever carefully guarded by theexecu-
tive, by congress and by the people"
He closed his message by saying that
at is my firm conviction that If the
country is to be benefited by silver
coinage it can be done only by the issue
of silver dollars Of full value, which
will defraud no man. A currency worth
less than IL purports to be worth will
in the end defraud not only creditors.
but all who are engaged in legitimate
business, and none more surely that
those who are dependent on their daily
labor for their daily bread"

fTHE LIBERTY STATUE
Superstitious Sailors Say That the
Goddess Is Haunted.
Rivals the Most Expert Spirit Medium In
Mysterious Rappings, But the Ex-
PLANTATION of the Phenomenon
Is Very Simple Iadeed.

The statue of Liberty is tenanted by
ghosts. At least that is what the river
men claim, and say the statement is sus-
ceptible of proof. They say, and they
know whereof they speak, that as the
witehing hour of night approaches
most unearthly noises are heard, as Ii
the statue was possessed. There is
scientific explanation, however, Of
these ghostly disturbances, but, says
the New York Journal, it does not in
terst the harbor men and sailors on
board ships lying at anchor within a
stones throw of Liberty island, their
bulls brought into strong relief by the
electric torch. Many "fo'c'as'le" yarn
has been spun about the midnight car
nival of spirits within the goddess
The sailors in the creaking of her joints
hear the ghoulish shouts of the jewellers.
When the night is calm and bitterly
cold the mysterious din is plainly
heard.
The most terrible of these mysteri-
Gus sounds for those who are not in the
secret are the spirit rappings. The god
dess rivals the most expert spirit medi-
ums. These rappings may be heard al
most every night in the year. During
the daytime the solemn figure is as 81
lent as graveyard, but when darkness
settles down it is easy to imagine that
several spiritual seances are being car
ried on successfully in this gloomy in
terror. The explanation is, however,
exceedingly simple. The statue, as eV-
erybody knows, is formed of enormous
plates of copper bronze, firmely riveted
together. The action of all sorts Of
weather, to which this very exposed po-
sition renders the statue subject, tends
to gradually loosen these little bits Of
steel. The dampness which is drawn in
from the water from all four sides
forms of hick coating of copper verdi
girls on the rivets. cutting away the cop
per. This does not weaken the statue
