BATTLING MADLY ON THE GRASS.
staying. nearabouts for a time; but if
I told he was there, my father would
have him driven away.
Remember I was no more than a
child, and knew very little of the world, l.,
so it is not so strange that l gave my
promise to this man with the kindly
face and musical voice. I had never
told my father a lie in all my life, and
1 wondered how was going to avoid it
in this case.
/ did not give my father much time to
question me, but told my story with
rush Of words, confused and inarticu-
late; but, with a skill that surprised
myself, led him to believe that had
scrambled to the shore unaided, and
yet did not say as much in SO many
words. It was a deception, and my
heart was heavy, for ] felt that it was
nearly, if not quite, as bad as a lie.
But / had kept my promise to the
stranger who had saved my life. 5s
After that I saw him often, and we
came to have a regular time of meeting
each day. He had travelled the world
over, and he delighted to sit in the
shelter. of the shrubbery and tell me
tales of his adventures in many lands,
while listened breath1essly to his fas-
cinating stories. At that time did not
think how strange man he was, al
though did sometimes wonder why he
fingered there, even though he was a
tramp with no home. 8s E5

jesty's great charm lies in the
originality of her manners and of her
habits Of life. She wears S., 900 Worth
dresses and goes about in them bare
footed. ~ .&Sgs @
She chews tobacco and drinks cham
pagne all day long. She imports per-
FUMES from Paris, but uses palm oil on
her hair. Many similar illustrations
OF her originality might be given. Her
great passion, however, was the acqui-
sition of Worth dresses. She wore
them all day long, no matter how injur i
1ous to them the occupation she was en-
gagged in might be. Visitors saw her
majesty sitting on the floor of her pal
ace busily transferring a meal of rice
OIL and chicken to her mouth with her
fingers and incidentally spelling mag
n1flcent Worth creation of silk, velvet
and lace. The revenues she derived
from her unfortunate people were sufh-s
cient to purchase for her all the dresses
she needed. #-
Under the circumstances it may be
imagined that her majesty was very
much panied when she had to go to war
with the French, the source of all her
fnery. But they proposed to annex her
country and she had to make a stand.
She harangued her people in the streets
OF her capital, Antananarivo, and told
them it was holy war and made them
swear to follow to the death.
At the first encounter with the French
they showed themselves useless. Now

NOT AFRAID OF SNAKE BITES.
An Old Florida Negro Claims to Have
an Infallible Cure.

| An Old Florida Negro Claims to Have
| an InfaIIible Cure. l.s.$.
The Jacksonville F'la.) Citizen: The
wonderful results of the snake cure of
ST Forman, the old negro snake charm
er, were shown yesterday morning,
when he cured himself of the bite Of
rattlesnake Forman was exhibiting
his collection of rattlers at the corner
of Hogan and Bay streets, and while
handling large rattler. that he cap
tured at Fort George few days ago the
snake struck at him and managed to
inflict two wounds on his left hand.
Forman went on with the performance
and did not seem to mind the bite at
all, until he felt in his pockets and
his remedy with him. He then went
into Williams drug store and satur
ated handkerchief with ammonia and
wrapped it around the hand. The per-
formance was then finished, and he
started for home to apply the snake
cure. He took some Of the remedy in
ternally, and wrapping a piece Of cloth
again. Forman was seen last evening
and showed the wounds on his hand.
There were two bites about an inch
apart, and about one inch long. He
stated that when the snake bit him his
hand commenced to swell, but as soon
as the remedy had been applied all was
over, and he says that he will now suf-
fer no serious results. The hand viii
pain him for a few days, and will then
be as well as ever, with the exception
of two scars that are always left by
snake bite. Forman was asked about
his snake cure, but he declined to say
of what it was made. He stated that
he obtained the receipt from an old
Seminole Indian, who made him swear
never to reveal it. Forman claims that
the remedy is an infallible cure for
snake bites, and, as an evidence of its
merits, are scars made by snake bites
all over his hands. He has never made
any of It for sale and he has never made
any test of it, SO far as is known, on any
person other than himself.

the water. Icould not swim, and Iscer-

almost before I realized my peril, I felt
strong hands grasp me, and I was
brought swiftly and safely to the shore.
When I rubbed the water from my

Every student of monetary science
ard every practical man Of business
knows that the fundamental vice in our
currency system is the legal tender note,
redeemable in coin by tic government
and reasonable under tho law. There mo
other defects, but this is fundamental
and radical, aud threatens the stability
OF the whole volume Of our currency.
So long us these notes are outstanding

serve authorized by Law for their re-
compton at onco excitCs feeling Of
apprehension and dis,rust in the public
mind, Affects lie values Of all cur 'se-
curities, curtails investments and more
or less seriously embarrasses all the.busi
ness affairs of tho people.
How much has been lost to our people
on account Of unavoidable fluctuations
i'll the reserve it is impossible to state,
bat all Glasses have suffered moro or less
from the effects of these fluctuations
nron the markets for products, upon
wages and upon the values ci all kinds
of property; and, consequently, tho con
dition Of that fund is u subject of CON
stant attention and anxiety throughout
tho country. With an almost constant
drain upon it, with frequent and sudden
demands for very large sums for hoard
ing en- for export, and with no certain
means Of roplcnishinY it, except by
sales Of bonds, it is absolutely impossi-
bic to maintain tho reserve at any fixed
amount, and, therefore, impossible to
keep tho public constantly assured Of
financial stability ana safety.
In attempting to provide Il circulating
medium consisting Of its own notes, ie-
deomable i'll coin on presentation, and
reasonable after redemption the govern
mcnt nf the United States is engaged in
n business for which il is wholly unfit
ted, and which was never for IL moment
contemplated by lis founders.
No change that can he mado in our
currency system will afford tho relief to
which tho government and the peoplc
are entitled unless it provides for tie
retirement aud cancellation cf the legal
tender United States notes.
