SMALLEY ON SILVER.

Mr.. B. B. Smalley, of Vermont, was
in Washington the other day and did
some talking on the political situation.
1t W. his opinion that if present con-
ditiofis exist a year from now the
Democrats win carry the country, and
this just the same as though there had
been no split in the party. He con-
tinued in these terms:
1 am not free silverite; I tried
hard to figure how that policy could
benefit the nation, but couldn't hon
estly agree to il. But neither on the
other hand do 1 see how the American
people can be taxed into prosperity.
The effort is going TO be made, and if
1t results in failure then the public
viii say that free silver is no worse
than the single gold standard. 1t won't
be an easy matter then 10 make the
voters think that free silver would be
the worst thing that could happen for
the general welfare.
Mr.. Smalley says the people cannot
be taxed into prosperity, which is
true, and thinks it not improbable that
present conditions may continue: and
that if they do it will not be an easy

The activity of importers in view of
the large imports in April, which were
S101, S05, 131, against S5s, ,579 in April.
1896, says the Baltimore Sun. Half of
the value of imports was the value of
imports free of duty. the proposal to
take wool, hides, tea, etc, from the
free list causing such articles to be
hurried in in great quantities. 1t is es-
timated, for example. that enough wool
is being imported to supply manufac-
turers for year, so that little or no
new revenue will be had from wool for
long time to come. Dutiable articles,
such as sugar and steel Of certain
kinds. are also being imported largely
to escape the increase of duties. The
exports in April last were ST., 725, 700,
against 1901, TAI in April. 1896 The
s12, Az, 1Ss excess of exports in April OF
last year is replaced this year by an
excess of $2S,57e,431 of imports For
the ten months ending with April our
excess of exports over imports was,
however. S299, 81 1894. The exports of
gold were s6,009967, against 1852. 49S
last year Our exports of silver were
81, I'll more than our imports of that
metal. 1t is noteworthy that the new
tariff, by promoting excessive imports
at present, is responsible for the export
of gold TO pay for the excess. This all
makes plain another thing-that tariff
tinkering has very bad effect on the
business of the country.

Some women are born stronger than
others. Some are born with what is
called constitutional weakness II
is easier for some women to retain
health and strength than it is for
others. Some seem able to do anything
they like. whenever they like. without
serious results. Still, there is no rea-
son why women should not enjoy per-
feet health. Those who do not, need
only take the proper precautions and
the proper remedy to become perfectly
well and strong. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure any derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organ
ism. 1t is absolutely certain. There
are some who have neglected them
selves so long that a complete cure is
next to impossible, but even these will
find comfort and improved health in
the use of the "Favorite Prescription.
1t has cured hundreds of women who
have received no relief whatever from
years of treatment with good physi-
clans. 1t is absolutely unique in the
history of medicine. Such a remedy
can be discovered only once. There is
nothing in the world like it, nor has
there ever been. It's sales exceed the
combined sales Of all other medicines
for women.

THE GODDESS ON THE BANK.

The stone man gazed at the girl of stone.
Gwen as you and y.
She wore not a rag, and she showed not
bone,
Cor she was round as a bubble blown.
But the stone man sneered in scornful
tone,
CFor he was cold and fy).
Oh, strange were the chiselled things that
Meath the lady's outstretched hand.
And the gapers gathered because they
knew;
CBut as for the lady, she never know,
For she did not understand.
The stone man proffered a leaf, well
Even as you or u.
Additional clothing was his intent,
(But it wasn't all what the lady meant.
So the stone man followed his natural
bent,
And winked the other eye.
Oh. they boxed her UP and they trimmed
Far thinner than they had planned:
And maybe the woman who didn't know
why,
CFor now we know that she never knew
May sometime understand.
They stripped the sheltering planks aside
Unknown to you and u,
Aad the stone man gazed at his granite
bride
With a gaze that punctured her stony
hide;
She was thinner. and he was satisfied,
Gwen as you and u.
Oh, it isn't the shame and it isn't the
blame
OF the things as they were planned:
It's coming TO know that she never knew
why,
Seeing at last she could never know
WHY.
And never could understand.

A Danish physician who was with
the Greek troops at Vclo and with them
in their retreat. tells of their bravery
to the Athens correspondent OF the
London Telegraph. He says:
Last Friday-the day of fatal cat
astrophe-I was on duty from noon to
two O'Clock on the following morning
without rest. lay down to sleep on a
stretcher used for transporting the
wounded, but was hardly asleep when
the chief doctor suddenly awoke all the
wounded, telling them they must get
up and march. They rose from their
places as best they could, hurriedly put
on their clothes, and left. taking with
them the arms wrested from the en-
envy, and such other things as they
needed AS many of them suffered
terribly in consequence, the officials OF
fered, 70 have them relieved of the bur-
dens, but they all heroically refused to
separate themselves from their tro-
phies.
1.-The spirit of the Greek troops, even
at that moment Of dire disaster and
discourag cement, was admirable, and
cannot be too highly eulogized. With
the thousand wounded men about one
thousand of the inhabitants repaired
to the railway station, DESTROYS of leav-
ing the town. The station was guard
ed by a company of soldiers. The au-
thorities had the wounded removed in
the very first train, accompanied by
medical attendants, at sunrise, but all
surgical instruments were left behind.
1 wanted to see to their removal, but
as I did not know the way 1 had to
abandon my intention.
THE transport of wounded TO Volo
| necessarily took very long time, but
once arrived at Volo we found a
steamer with hospital ambulance,
which received many of the wounded.
The organization was splendid, and all
the wants of the wounded were
promptly attended to-"
All that shows the same spirit the
Spartan youth evinced who would not
cry out whilst the fox gnawed out his
entrails. The old Greek spirit is not all
dead in the modern Greeks.
