WHY CATTLE REQUIRE SALT

We know why the animal Graves salt,
and why it ultimately falls into disease
if salt is for a time withheld. Upwards
of half the saline matter of the blood
(75 per cent J, consists ofcommon salt;
and as this is partly discharged every
dav through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity of continued supplies OF it to
the body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Us a special
and indispensable constituent, and 81 do
all the cartlages of the body. There
fore. if the supply of salt be stinted,
neither will the bile he able property to
assist the digestion nor the cartiayes be
built up again as they naturally waste.
And when we consider it to be tact
! that without salt man would miSerablv
perish; as among horrible punishments
entailing certain death. that Of feeding
culprits on saltless food is said to have
prevailed in barbarous times, we may
become partially convinced, at least,

INSURANCE AND SILVER.

In the minds of some of our gold
standard contemporaries the failure of
the United Life Association has rank
ed with the hot wave as one of the
most melancholy results OF the free sill
yer agitation. This company is one OF
the sort to which any kind of agita-
ton that could afford it an excuse for
abandoning the struggle for existence
ought to he welcome 1t is pledged
to pay its policy holders Sll ,22l 900

meet these claims it has Sl7S.57 in

sets bringing up it's total resources to
S2,352.49. Its assets amount to one
dollar in every 81 400 of insurance i'm

This company has been doing busi-
ness under false pretences for years.
1t has been Systematically V engaged in
a heartless swindle on the poor and

ascrihing their well-deserved retrlhu-
ton to the effects of an impending
change in the national financial policy
is as silly and harmful as to sympa-
thize with dispersed gang of conf

ONE KIND OF A BOY.

"Watch that boy, now,' said Phil.
(which boy?" said Ned.
"That boy who was at play with us
down on the sand. His name is Will.
He knows how to look out for himself,
doesn't he?'
Phil and Ned, with their parents,
had been spending some time at the
seaside Will was boy who had come
to pass the evening in the parlor ofthe
boarding house. 1t was that Phil and
Ned saw Will taking a great deal OF
pains to find good place.
First, he had noticed a large book
full of pictures on the table. After
looking at it for few moments, he had
hunted out large easy-chair, and was
tugging at it to get it to the table.
"There, he's got it squared round
just to suit him." laughed Ned.
"Now he's moving the lamp nearer
it," said Phil.
"And-well, if ever! if he isn't put
ting footstool before it. | suppose
he's all ready to enjoy it.
1t was plain that Will was. With a
pleased look he gazed around the room
until he caught sight of a lady who was
standing. He darted toward her, and
said:
"Come, mamma, | have nice place
for YOU"
He led her to the chair, and settled
the stool to her feet as she sat down.
Phil and Ned looked little foolish.
Presently Phil sprang out of his chair
as his mother came near.
Mamma, take my chair, he SAID.
Ned stepped quickly to pick up
handkerchief which a lady had dropped,
and returned it with bow.
They are wise boys who profit by
graceful lesson given by true gentle
man.-We Watchman.

Average for all $l.60
The woollen industry was the only
one i'm which there was not a positive
fall in wages between 1873 and 1891 ,
and the fall that took place in the wool
en- industry in 1898, as shown by the
Connecticut Labor report, reduces
wages there as much as they have been
reduced in every other industry.
The most rapid fall in wages, fur
thermore, was not during the period
covered by the Senate report. In 1891
Austria had not adopted the gold stand
ard: India continued the free coinage
of silver, and this nation was adding
$50, 900 900 a year, based on silver, to
its currency. The international gold
standard was not fully established
until 1898, and it is since that time
that laborers have suffered most from
loss of employment and falling wages.
Since 1891, in mining, as shown by the
recent Michigan Labor reports. wages
have fallen more than fifteen per cent.
This means 4 total fall of thirty per
shown by the report of the National
| Bureau, the earnings of all those en-
ployed, including owners, tenants and
hands, have fallen over twenty per
cent. This means total fall O. over
thirty per cent. since 1873. In the
city industries, during the last five
years, one cut in wages has followed
another, and the army of the uncm-
ployed has been so greatly increased
that labor organizations have almost
lost their power to insist upon living
wages.
The experience of this country has
been the experience of the world. lie.
oy-Beaulieu, the greatest mOnometal
| list i'm France, states in his volume
| ODela Reparitition d, $ Rechesses), that
wages in Great Britain advanced from
sixty to seventy per cent. between the
middle of the century and 1873, and
had fallen from ten to twenty per cent.
between 1875 and 1887. The period
of rising wages was the period of bi
: metallism and the interests of produ-
GERS. The period Of falling wages was
the period of monometallism and the
interests of the creditors. The wage
earners are right in demanding that the
latter period be brought to an end and
that the old law which meant prosper
ity to producers be restored.-Neu

THE UNMARRIED MAN.

l. If a man is naturally selfish, for
goodness sake let him always look af
ter No |.
2. If his mother is the best cook in
the world, let him stop with her.
3. If, when he opens his mouth, he
is always putting his foot in it, he had
better never propose to girl
4. If he is thorough miser it were
better for him to remain singularly
miserable.
4. If he is generally woman hater,
let him become hermit in the Isle of
Man.
6. If he detests children and calls
them pests, he is evidently uncivilized
and unworthy to frequent the haunts
of a civilized community.
I. If physically and constitutionally
untitled for matrimony, it is nothing
less than criminal for him to marry.
s. If man is blessed with good
sister, to whom he is unkind and even
cruel, he is certainly unsuitable for
partner to any one else's sister,
8. If man is earning less salary
than the woman whom he might care
to marry is earning, let him not marry
her
10. Ifa man would be likely to pre-
fer after marriage the company of club
associates and the pleasure of the bill
lard table to the sweet companionship
of hallowed happiness OF home let
him refrain from thinking of marrying.
IL. If a man will be unable to MAIN
tain wife as comfortable as she has
been used to, and unless he has some
thing saved toward future unforeseen
eventualities, he had better remain
bachelor; for when poverty comes in
at the door loves flies out Of the win
dow.
II. If he would be unwilling to
frankly and candidly tell before mar
riage everything of his past life, which,
in the event Of his marrying would, if
found out, cause endless trouble and
lifelong unhappiness, let him, by all
means. remain single.

VACATION TIME

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those duties in life have
caused them to greatly run down their
system to meet the requirements, phys
ical and mental, forced upon them.
With these and others, it is important,
whether at home, at the seashore or in
the county, that some thought be Civ
en- to diet, and as further assistance to
Nature, good building-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be
resorted to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent headaches
seem to be the rule. Hoods will change
all this and enable everyone to turn to
their home and business in a refreshed
state of mind and bodily health.

the period Of free coinage, and only II
per cent. during the period OF the gold
standard.
But this statement of the facts is not
an accurate one. The Senate report
in question shows that wages have fall
en- since 1878 in nearly all Industries
for which more than one or two firms
submitted reports. 1t was the report
of one dry goods store that it had ad-
vanced wages nearly 80 per cent, and
the committees assumption that all
the clerks in the country had received
the same advance led to the error cited
bv the Reform Clubs representative.
Though the committee wished to show
advancing wages, and probably select
ed the most favorable establishments
possible, the returns for the industries
really investigated showed theaverage
daily wages for the two years to be as
follows in gold IL per cent. less for
1919.

with the nervous troubles that usually attack

in a remedy which will restore them to health,

the Federal Government could have done
otherwise than it did do in offsetting jack
sons movement 1t is true that Fremont
and Mcdowell might have joined forces, and
then by moving through Fishers Gap 10
Culpeper, they could perhaps have kept Jack
son and Ewell from joining Gen. Lee. But
Gen. Mcclellan was not upon bis proper
base line and any aggressive movement IN
force against Gen. Lee would have been, to
say the least of it, very problematical in
deed Therefore there would have been
great danger in the occupation of Culpeper
by so small a force after any mishaps to Nc
Clellan. for it would practically have turned
the bulk Of Gen. Lees army loose to rein
force Jackson.
The false position of one army often prac-
tically neutralizes or destroys the usefulness
of another. Besides all this. the authorities
at Washington had their confidence greatly
shaken in Gen. Mcclellan as an aggressive
commander. And if he should continue to
remain transfixed before Richmond, Gen.
Lee could send his troops to reinforce Gen.
Jackson at his pleasure, and thus destroy a
small army at Culpeper.
Some critic, will say that Gen. Jackson
would have reinforced Lee just as he did, if
Gen. Fremont and Gen. Mcdowell had
moved over to Culpeper." Not hit of it.
Gen. Jackson would have paid his respects
to them rather than TO Mcclellan.

Indeed, the strong probability is that Gen.
Lee would have even sent out sufficient
reinforcement TO whip them back toward
Washington. Every man that the Culpeper
army could have engaged either in campaign
or battle would have made battle between
Mcclellan and his enemy more cer'ain of
success McClellan's unwarranted slowness
put II out of the question to depend much
upon his cooperation. The fact is this, that
Gen. McClellans sluggishness was precisely
what made this campaign a possibility.
Gen Lee had been holding Gen. JacksOn's
Corps at Staunton for month prior to the
beginning of this campaign, ex pecting to call
him by rail to reinforce him whenever Gen.
Mcclellan should attack him But seeing
no prospect of an immediate battle he gave
Gen. Jackson permission to do lust what was
done.
Gen. Mcclellan is the only person 10 blame
for the result, however, because the North
got no good out of it. Nearly two months
was consumed in this campaign from the
| time Gen. Jackson left Stanton to attack
| Gen Milroy at Mcdowell, until he attacked
Gen. Porter at Beaver Dam, on McClelian's
extreme right flank. Gen. Jackson had
about 10000 men, exclusive of Gen. Ewells
forces So, had Gen. Mcclellan given battle at
any lime during these two months, Gen.
| Lee could have received no possible aid
| from Gen. Jackson's Corps.
Gen. EwelTs Corps was also sent to re-
inforce Jackson in the Page Valley, and
| Gen. Writings Division WAS also sent TO
Stanton as a support TO this campaign, and
| to rescue Jackson if he should get into a
trap" So there were about 20 days of
| this time that Gen. Lees army was re-
duced just $1,000 men. And the hard part
of it is, too, that the records show that
| Mcclellan knew it all the time. Even
TO admit that Gen. Mcclellan could not
have taken Richmond by assault, which
was, indeed, very doubtful, still he could
have besieged it, shutting Lee in and jack
| son out.
Then he would have had them in pre-
cisely the same fix that Grant had Gen.
Pemberion at Yicksburg. Gen. Jacksons
base would have been gone, and he would
have been compelled to vacate the Kappa
hammock and Shenandoah Valleys. That
would have looked, indeed like game Of
war. S. WILLIAMS, Lebanon, O.

to reinforce Gen. Lee, leaving Banks, Ere
mont and Mcdowell to recover themselves
as best they could. He moved through Swift
Run Gap to Gordonsville, thence by rail to
Richmond, swinging in upon Gen. McClel-
lan's right and rear at Beaver Dam, taking
an active part in the beginning of the end Of
Gen. McClellan's Peninsular campaign.
Instead of fighting Lee while jackson,
Ewell and Whiting were absent, he deliber-
ately waited for Jackson to draw his sup
ports away from a true base and then con-
centrate against him. Gen. Lee could not
have asked for more time in which to work
out his own plan.
In the entire annals of warfare such waste
of precious opportunity we can find no
parallel. All the advantages to come to
the Federal cause from this campaign was
in Gen. McClelian's prompt attack on Gen.
Lee. Even now, barring Gen. Shields's
blunder at Port Republic, l cannot see how
