THE most transparent humbug OF
this year was the message on the cur
rency question sent to Congress last
Saturday by the President. The cam
paign last fall, it will be remembered,
was fought exclusively on the money
issue, and naturally it was supposed
that the attention of Congress and the
administration would be promptly d.
rected to an improvement of our sys-
TEN of finance. The President, how
ever, riding his favorite hobby, the
tariff, ignored the money question, I'M
til last Saturday. Then, on the day
Congress was to adjourn, when he must
have known there could be no action,
he sent little composition to the Cap
itol, recommending that commission
be appointed to make an investigation
Of the subject and report at a subse-
quent session of Congress. The House
entered into the joke and Immediately
passed a resolution to carry out the
suggestion, but the Senate contemptu-
ously squelched the proposal by re-
ferring it to a committee and then ad.
journed.

Two Armies the r egular and Irregular

To which would you prefer to belong? The
regular undoubtedly. The irregulars are,
admittedly, the most numerous, but they are
IN a very undesirable state of no-discipline.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters will soop reme-
dy this want in dsordered liver or bowels.
Biliousness manifests itself in yellowness OF
the skin and eyeballs, sour breath, furred
tongue, morning nausea, discomfort in the
vicinity of the liver, vertigo and sick head
ache. Hosts of people suffer thus. These
signs OF INSTRUMENTATION to the governance
tion of the bowels, are soon regulated by the
BitteTs, which also overcomes malaria dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness
and kidney trouble. AS a means of checking
premature decay, Fastening convalescence,
and mitigating the infirmaties OF age, the
great tonic Is without parallel.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an UNI
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.

hundreds of schemes to secure the dol
lars of the gold-crazed people. Many
transportation companies have been
formed which agree for ridiculously
low rates to take miners to Dawson
City and supply a years food. Most
of these have chartered small gasoline
schooners, in which they declare they
will take their passengers to the Klon-
dyke. AS these vessels will draw from
four to ten feet of water, and there is
not more than two or three in the Up
per Yukon, it is impossible for any Of
them to reach Dawson, and those who
60 by these routes will have to wait
till the river freezes and haul their
outfits over the ice.
To get the gold, big fires have to be
built to thaw the soil. Some few feet
of dirt is then dug out and fires built
again. This is done until the pay
gravel is hit at somewhere between 10
and 40 feet. The gold is found there
in nuggets of from pea to pigeon
egg. In ten months of the year the
miners wear furs, all other clothes be-
ing too thin, and in summer time fight
such swarms Of fierce mosquitoes.
In winter the temperature often
reaches 70 degrees below zero. Flour
was $l20 hundred weight at one
time, and beef from 81 to 81 pound.
Moose hams sold for about $50, or So

Antl.eptlc oualltles in Coins.

1t is a well-known fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person to another, and thus
TO spread contagious diseases. 1t is also
supposed that coins, which are more in
circulation than notes, might similar
ly act as agents for spreading disease,
and Investigations in that direction
were made at the Vienna university
when Austria changed it's currency to
the gold basis. Areport about his OBJ
servations was recently published by
DR.. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Ga
zette, in which he states that metals
act, SO TO speak, as antiseptics in regard
TO bacteria, or microbes, the fact being
that these microscopic organisms have
but q very short lease of life while on
metals. The destroying i~nfluelces of
metals increase with their temperature,
and also with the close touch of the
heterogeneous with the metal. At a
temperature of 95 to 100 degrees Fahren.

where money is carried, the destruction
of microbes occurs within three hours,
