RETIRE THE GREENBACKS.

Certainly it is impossible to dc fend the mode in which the green backs are now managed While they are convertible into species that is, into gold-Congress has in no way determined how large Q stock of gold shall be kept for their redemption; nay, has in no way pro- vided any separate stock of gold for that purpose The so.called gold reserve exists simply because there is an excess of available cash in the Treasury over current liabilis ties. That excess swells and dimin- ishes with increase or decrease Of public revenues as compared with expenditures. The reserve is thus dependent upon the accident of the financial condition of the Treasury. Much has been said of late of the need of increasing the revenue as a means of strengthening the iinan- cial portion of the Treasury. Very likely an increase of revenue is needed; but the whole system by which the resources at the Treas ury's command for redeeming the paper money issued by it are made to depend on the relation of the cur rent outgo by appropriations is vicious and indefensible. Depend. ent as our Federal revenue is main. ly on receipts from customs, it is inevitably subject to wide tiuctua tions; and we must expect in future, as We have had in the past, some years of excessive revenue and some years of deficient revenue. This will happen under any tariff system as long as the resources oi revenue are uncertain and irregu' lar. No measure of present taxa tion can cure these difficulties, which are inherent in the system it self. From Retire the Green backs Without Delay" by Prof. F W. Taussig, in January Rerje,o 9 Re0ieioS.

The latest pamphlet published by the commission of historical manuscripts il London contains the following interest ing and curious travesty on etiquette ''The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, having been summoned to appear before the house of lords in 1892 in order tC plead their. suit for divorce, it was de bated whether the lord chancellor, sit ting as chairman, should lower his dig nity by lowing to the duchess and speak ing to her only with his cap in his hand. This question was argued for several days in the house of lords until debate exhausted itself and several duels result ed. At length it was decided that the lord chancellor should first receive the bows of the duke and duchess and re turn them with uncovered head and aft CT that he should replace his cap" This rule was followed to the letter and is still adhered to today when similar con- tingencies arise.

The children were alone ill the house, and what happened between the time Mrs. Moran left and the fire com pany dashed up to the blazing house ill response to an alarm of fire was gleaned from the little hero bit by bit after the excitement had subsided.
 Bennie, tired of playing on the kiteh ell floor, shortly after his mother left opened d door leading into the back yard, with the intention of going out there to play. A sudden puff of wind from the open door caught the curtains at window near lighted gasoline stove, and ill an instant they were ig nited. The frightened child looked back and i'll a moment saw the entire wall blazing with fire. He then remembered the oft repeated warnings from his fa- ther about fire and started for the side door with the intention of escaping into the street. The door was locked, but he quickly found the key, unlocked the door and run out into the street. And then, out ill the clear air, free from the smoke and flame, he commenced to think. His little sister was in there, and the flames were creeping closer and closer.
 He hesitated not an instant, but start ed to enter the house once more. He was met by cloud of flame and smoke at the door, Not for moment did ho falter. but plunged in headlong, with only one thought in his mind, and that his little baby sister He groped his way to the center of the room through the stifing air and found her sitting on the floor, crying softly in frightened way He placed his arms around her and, half carrying. half dragging, brought her to the door and then out into the open air and left her safe in the street
 He did not consider his duty perform ed yet, however, and started for a neigh bor's house, crying at the top of his voice: Fire Fire Papa's house is burn. ing upP' The entire neighborhood was quickly aroused, and, with the aid of the fire company, which appeared on the scene shortly, the flames were extin- guished.

 The saver of human life stands in the front rank of heroes. And the hero whose name is en every tongue in the city of Detroit is Bennie Moran, little boy of 3 years, who is hero at an age when most children are slumbering in their mothers arms
 Bennie, however, like many another hero who has risked life and limb ill ef- forts to rescue the helpless, takes the honors heaped upon him by admiring friends in modest way and thinks that when he carried his little 2-year-old sister from his fathers burning house he did little more than any other boy would do.

PETTY TYRANNY IN NEW
FORK

New York City is in control of a police force as tyrannical as any tyranny that prevails in any petty province in despotic Europe. A few Sundays ago a police force egaided a fashionable restaurant in New York City and arl ested d party of gentlemen, who were dining, on the charge of violating the Raines law. Commenting on the action of the police, the New York Journal says ;
 "The raid of the police on a party of gentlemen dining at Sherry's is not to be regretted. It was an out rage, of course, all insolent, inde- feasible intrusion, such as Paris was accustomed to from the moral police. But good will come of it. This city is governed as if it were a village. If the ordinary citizen must stop amusing himself at cer- tain hour of the night, if mo citizen may lawfully drink anything on Sunday without degrading himself by pretending to eat 8 .aneal that is not meal, why should gentlemen dining at restaurant complain of a police captain, suspecting them of in- turing their morals, bursts in tt see about it? The raid was of a peice with the whole system of superyis- ion which deprived the citizen of liberty. He is a child to be watched and guarded, and punished for naughtiness. New York, however, is metropolis. That ought to con- sole the gentlemen whose feast and temper were disturbed at Sherry's. No private house, to be sure, is any safer than a restaurant, but if the rich don't like such espionage they can go to St. Petershurgs for a va cation. New Workers who are; not rich can stay aad stand it. They

The Irish Potato Not Irish.

The peeuliarity of the Irish potato, so called, is ill the fact that 1t is not Irish, - observed one of the potato ex- perts of the agricultural department. 'sThe potato originally grew wild in the fields of Chile, Peru and Mexico. Sir John Hawkins did not take it to Ireland until 1865. Sir Francis Drake took it to England 20 years afterward. 1t did better. however, in Ireland than anywhere else and got its name, no doubt, because of it's early and extensive cultivation i'll Ireland. Botanically it was originally known as the Batata Yir- giniana, but in after years it WAS prop erly identified and classified as the SO- lanum tuberorum. As the winter stock is now being laid in, it may be well for the inexperienced to be able to select good potatoes.
 .Cut the raw potato i'll two and rub the halves together. If the moisture on rubbing is soft and liquid enough to drop, the potato will be soggy and set when cooked Rub the halves briskly around on each other. 4 potato that will be dry and mealy when cooked will give out good rich froth. while q poor one will show only q watery froth by the same action. The pieces will stick together if the potato is a good one Of course the whole thing is to test the amount of starch ill the potato, for the more starch the better the potato.
