The presence all through the winter of

makes the fruit, when it reaches US in

to be tired OF, and omat salad, when
the fruit is ripe.cold and properly dressed

@he midcfe of the seventeenth CEN
tnry was, in fact, the golden age of the
ROAD Not only were all highwaymen
sRyaliers, but many a cavalier turned
highwayman. Broken at their kings
defeat, q hundred captains took pistol
and wizard and revenged themselves as
ereebooters upon the kings enemies.
And though Hind was outlaw first and
royalist afterward he was the most bril-
iant collector of them all. True, he
owed something to his master, Allen,
but be added from the storehouse of his
own genius host OF new precepts, and
he was the first to establish an enduring
tradition. Before all things he insisted
upon courtesy. A guinea stolen by an
awkward ruffian was a sorry theft.
Levied by o gentleman of the highway,
it was the tribute paid to courage by
generosity.
Nothing would atone for an insult
offered to lady, and when it was
Kinds duty to seize part of a gentle
woman's dowry on the Petersfield road
he not only pleaded his necessity in elo-
quent excuse, but he made many prom
Uses on behalf of knight errantry and
damsels in distress. Never would he ex-
tort a trinket to which association had
given a sentimental worth. During a
long career he left none save Round
head penniless upon the road, nor was
it his custom to strip the master with
out giving the man a trifle for his pains.
His courage, moreover. was equal to his
understanding. Since he was afraid of
nothing it was not his habit to buster
when he was not determined to have
his way. Once his pistol leveled, once
the solemn order given, the victim must
either fight or surrender, and Hind was
not the man to decline a combat with
any weapons or in any circumstances

Tho Political ASPECT.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph (Rep)
Mr.. Bryan takes q very hopeful
view of the prospects of his party,
and it must be confessed that the
situation presents many features of
encouragement for him. Indeed, at
present everything seems to be going
his way. His main contention. that
the opening of the mint to the free
coinage of both gold and silver is
essential to national prosperity. is
virtually conceded by the republican
party leaders when they resume their
meddling with international bimetal-
lism.
Then, too, tariff tinkering starts
out in a way that prepares a repeti-
ton of the defeat Of 1890. The peo-
pie are disguised with the way in
which the tariff has been manipulate
ed at the instance of special interest,
and are eager to have congress ad-
dress itself to the settlement of the
currency question. 1t is An act of
bad faith to the people, and a de-
mented party policy to attempt to
carry the legislation OF the coming
congress back to the lines of 1888
and 1892. If they persevere in this
impudent enterprise they will hear
from the people in startling man
uer at the next election.

Postal Savings Banks,

The Chicago Record in giving the
views of the sound money democrats,
who gathered in that city recently
to celebrate Andrew Jackson's birth
day, on the subject Of the establish
ment Of postal savings banks in the
United States, says:
paul Kersch, the successor of the
late Judge c. A. Ewing on the exec
utive committee of the national DEM
ocratic party for Illinois, is an en-
thusiast on the subject, and endeav-
ored to have postal savings plank
introduced in the Indianapolis plat
form. He says:
al believe that if the system had
been in operation the free silver agi-
tation would never have been made,
for the reason that the funds in the
hands of the government would have
enabled it to get any amount of gold
it required, and the interest would
have gone to the people, instead of
the syndicates. The objection that
postal banks would hurt the estab-
lished banking interests is easily
answered. They could handle de-
posits too small for ordinary savings
banks, and thus act as feeders for
them. When a sufficient amount has
been accumulated the higher rate of
interest offered by the private con-
Germs would be ample inducement to
the depositor to transfer his account,
and in this way the unconsidered
trifles of nickels and dimes would be
diverted from the tills OF tobacconists
and saloonkeepers to add to the
wealth and prosperity of the nation

where l have been investigating thu

funding the national debt by THU
means, which / first noticed in al
interview published in the Record
is an admirable one. There is nj
doubt that the system will be event
ually adopted"

Ele ctric Railroad, Statistics.

Electric railways in Europe formed
the subject of some interesting statistics
recently embodied in a report sent to
the United States government by Vice
Consul J. F. Monaghan, at Chemnitz,
Germany. According to these, the num-
Der Of such railways was increased
during the year 1895 from 20 to Ill,
while the. total length was raised from
about 435 to $50 miles, the number of
cars from 1886 to J., 747, and the horse.
power from a little over IS, 900 to lit.
tie over 200. Of all the European
countries, Germany, according to Mr..
Monaghau,s figures, stood at the head,
with about $50 miles to her credit, and
an equipment of s57 cars and 1894
horsepower. The other countries fol-

Tho Old Standard For tho Yard.


The yard is the British and American
standard Of length. Down to 1924 the
original standard Of Britain (and from
which ours was copied) was rod,
which had been depositedDin the court
Of exchequer, London, in the time Of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures intended for general use were
taken to the court of excllequer to be
examined by the proper officer. That
official took the proposed measure and
placed it parallel with the standard,
and if found correct placed certain
marks Of Identification upon it. By an
act of parliament in 1924 the old Eliza
bethan standard was superseded by an
other, which had been constructed under
the directions of the Royal society 81
years previous. This act provided that
"the straight line of distance between
the centers Of two points in the gold
studs in the brass rod now in the custody
of the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
yard measure in Great Britain" The
act further provided that the measure
ments Of the rod must be made when
the temperature Of the brass was at 60
degrees F.
That standard was destroyed by fire
in 1884, and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now in use. The new standard was de-
posted in the house of parliament in
1866, and authenticated copies of it are
in the possession of our government OFF,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Prominent Part That Profuse -Adver.
Using Plays In Their Success.
Aside from departures, in policy and
innovations on,a large scaAe, the original
fly of the. department .store is largely
supplied by two Departments, to some
extent correlated. Theee.are the adver-
tising department., and the window
dressing department.. One~is the ,litera-
ture of the greatstDre. theother its art.
The shop windowsare q great stimulus
for the. are-dis-
played in them. A good showing will
often wonderfully increase the sale Of
the stock,aswell NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to
the storewiyo are new to it. Frequently
the head advertising;man is the general
managerof the store Whether this is
the case-or not, he is a general supervis-
or of the establishment, with a complete
knowledge Of its ever changing detail.
Everyday he holds consultations'with
heads Of departments to find out what
particular lines of articles they want
doomed, and about those articles he
writes allunng statements for the shop
ping public to read, sometimes arrang-
ing for illustrations with them.
The amount Of mmeyepmt for adver-
Using isappalling when looked upon as
an expense. One great store in Philadel-
phia spends on an average 81, 600 every
day in the year, and a good many spend
$500 day. The advertising receives
probably more of the personal attention
of the head.of the housefhan any other
department. The head.ofathe firm which
expends the great sum. just mentioned
personally suggests and frequently
writes theileading lines in the daily an
nouncement. The proprietor Of q great
store in Brooklyn does this invariably
and thinks the time well spent which
the work daily requires. The mail de-
partment:tends to'enlarge this expendi-
ture, asNhe.store reaches .out to the ut
most parts.of the country. and the fu-
ture will no doubt see an even greater
development in theeffort to secure mail
customers in the small towns and in
country places. Hopkins -Ad-

The chief glory Of Argamasilla is the
CASA de Medrano, solid stone house,
standing probably in the same condi-
ton. but for the decay of age, as when
Cervantes was kept a prisoner in its cell
lar. There is little doubt that this is
the very place where the design of the
book, which was 'engendered in pris-
on" tsee prologue to the first part of
Don Quixote") was first nodded.
Some 20 feet by and 2 feet high, with
a mere hole for a window, this un-
healthy cell is SO dark that when the
original door, still partly standing, with
its iron clamps and nails, is closed, it
precludes the possibility Of Cervantes
having been able to write in it. But tc
say this would be to the Argamassillans
o personal insult.-August F. Jaccaci
