A LEAF FROM FINANCE.
Qualities Arc Intrinsic. But Value Ii
Only Relative.

Only Relative.
We have often heard it said that gold
ought to be the only standard because
of it's intrinsic fixed value. But there
is no sucn thing as intrinsic value.
Qualities are intrinsic; value is a rela-
ton between exchangeable commodi-
ties, and in the eternal nature of
things, can never be invariable. Value
is of the mind, it is the estimate placed
upon salable article by those willing
and able to purchase it. Flour is
worth up in the Klondike gold fields
$50 a barrel; is that because OF its
intrinsic value? Water has been sold
in the Arizona deserts at ten cents per
gallon. Was that it's intrinsic value? !?
1t is utterly impossible for any metal
TO furnish an invariable standard
alone, any more than an invariable
standard of friendship. Value is in fact,
a purely ideal relation. Some of our
statesmen have gotten themselves into
such a condition of the mind as to
really believe that while all other prod
ucts, labor included, are changeable
in value, gold alone is gifted with at
tributes of immutability, and for them
to believe this, amounts to sheer bias
phemy. Gold standing alone as the
best money of the world has fiuctuated
SO much in its purchasing power that
many times the commercial world haa
been thrown into a panic This shows
the falsity of a fixed intrinsic value
attributed to it.-Bu6alo Times.

GOOD USE FOR WEEDS.
When Properly Cared For They Max
n Good Fertilizer.


When Properly Cared For They Make
Good Fertilizer.
Summer heat, when it comes, starts
a numerous and enterprising crop of
weeds into active life. These may be
easily controlled by the frequent use of
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But if, through inattention,
they get the start of the gardener and
reed to be reduced by the hoe, they
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance and not allowed to perfect
and drop their seed into the soil. Pull
up and shake the larger ones when not
so near as to endanger valuable plants
thereby, and hoe up all others, not
merely scraping the ground over, but
raking it up and pulverizing it while
roofing out the weeds. These may
then, while still green and succulent, be
raked together and put into the COM
post heap, where they will be obliged to
return to the gardener all that they
have purloined from his soil. This
compost heap may, by little care, be
made quite an important factor in the
fertility of the garden. Not only all
weeds, but, as crops mature, all the
garden refuse not used for mulching
other plants, may be put into it, wet
thoroughly and covered with little
earth and thus rotted down and re-
tained for use as SO much homemade
fertilizer. It should be established in
some out-of-the-way corner; a hole
dug few feet deep to accommodate it
will be found convenient and the con-
tents dreOched with hose from time tC
time to promote decomposition, after
which few shovelfuls of earth will de-
lay evaporation and help retain the
gases. When used the addition of wood
