Gold and Silver Currency.

Estimates made by the gold clique
as to tile amount Of money per capita
in circulation are deceivlng and
doubtless, intended to deceive.
These advocates Of gold monometal-
ism claim that there ID plenty Of
money and that the people Of the
United States have S24 per capita.
But in this estimate is included all
the money locked up as treasury re-
serve, over s1uO.OOO,OOO and 25 per
cont Ut the national bank circulation,
which the law requires to be Kept in
the vaults.
Thus about two hundred million
dollars is as useless as a circulating
medium as il it we're entirely wiped
out Of existence. In reality, there is
not moro than SIG per capita in cir
culation. France has twice this
amount. Germany so per cent more
than the United States. ndEngland
with its small population, fully as
much. How is this contraction of the
circulating medium to be remedied?
Simply by the unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1.
Then there will be no elastic" cur
rency issued by the banks and secur-
ed by their Office furniture, as is sug-
gested by the Sound money" reform
ers, but currency of gold and silver.

Every line in a newspaper costs
something. If it is for the benefit of
an individual, advertising his wares
or announcing his intentions. 1t
should be paid for by him. If the
grocer should be asked to contribute
groceries to one al undantly able to
pay for them he would undoubtedly
refuse. And yet it would be just as
reasonable CD to ask free notices of a
newspaper proprietor. He must pay
for the free advertising if the bene-
ticiary does not, and yet it is one of
the hardest things to be learned by
many, that newspaper has space in
it's columns to rent, and must rent to

He Likes to Ride There, aAA Does

"D'ye see that dog?" said the con-
ductor Of a suburban car, as he pointed
to water spaniel lying in shady
yard. The newspaper man, says
the St. Louis Republic, admitted that
he did, but there was something in
his tone that seemed to indicate that

the boys know him, especially the. mo-
tormen, because he is the most per-
sistent deadhead you ever saw.
"Oh, no. He doesn't get on the car
like the tramp dog, Owney. He would
scorn to ride i'm such commonplace
style. He rides only on the fender,
and he does it because he enjoys the
ride.
George, that's my motorman, was
the first to give him free trip, and
it was purely accidental. The dog ran
out to bark at the car and the fender
picked him up and carried him two
or three blocks. When the car stopped
he crawled out, looking as if he was
scared to death. But a couple of days
later as we were going out the car
stopped at the corner of Mcpherson
avenue, and that dog deliberately
stepped on the fender. He stayed there
until the car made the next stop at
Laclede, and then he stepped off again.
"He must have liked his first ride in
spite of his fright, and planned how
to get ride without running any
risks. He has repeated the perform
ance every morning and evening for
six months except when there was a
particularly bad storm. I don't know
who,ow him, but if he was mine $500
wouldn't touch him."

Toes of Criminals.

DR.. p. Penta has studied the fingers
and toes of $500 criminals, and finds a
deficiency in the size or number of toes
quite frequently among them, although
very rare among ordinary men. He has
also observed that prehensile toes,
marked by a wide space between the
great toe and the second toe, is con-
dition quite common among criminals;
also, a webbed condition of the toes,
an approximation to the toeless feet Of
some Bavages.

HIS DEFoRMITY A BLESSING.
Owns Ten Fingers and Uses Extra
Ones Mt Silk Loom.


Charles w. Haines, of 400 Abigail
street, who is "A years old, has five
fingers on each of his hands, but no
thumbs, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune. In the place of his thumbs
are perfectly-formed fingers similar in
appearance to the index finger, only a
little longer. The remarkability of his
case is that nature so arranged it
that the first phalanx, unlike other
fingers, has a ball joint articu!ating
with the first metacarpal in way that
enables him to turn the finger about
in any direction, even upon the back of
his hand.
Haines is silk bandage weaver, and
by the aid Of his thumb fingers he can
reach into the loom and catch up
broken threads and tie them with one
hand, not being compelled to use a
hook line like other worlenen. he says
that on account Of his hands being so
constructed he can save time ard 90
more work in day than anyone mt his
shop. Like Miss Sayers, HaiEes is a NH
stefan. He is good performer or Il
either, and when not employed at his;
work he spends a great deal of time
playing upon this. difficult instrument.
He can pick the strings more ni1nbly
with what serves him as a thumb than
with his other fingers, and he verify be-
lieves that nature furnished him with
n deformity that has proven a physio-
logical benefit. &
