CRISIS OF 1898.

"Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" This aptly
fits the bankers now, who are bent
on gold basis, regardless of the
consequences. A specie basis sys-
TEN carried the banks down and
brought on that frightful panic,
which lasted from 1887 to 1S47. A
specie basis carried the banksdown
and brought on that destructive
financial panic, which lasted from
1857 into the war of the rebellion.
When 1.-THE financial panic broke
forth in 1873, the banks throughout
the country, except the Chemical of
New York, and a few others, sus-
pended payments to depositors for
about seven weeks, but being on a
greenback basis were enabled to
resume payments in short time.
Had they been on a gold basis,
most of them would not have sue
ceeded in resuming in ten years.
Again, in 1898 the banks were on a
grecnback basis, which enabled
them to weather the financial storm
with only 600 banks being carried
down. Had they been on gold
basis, but few banks would have
escaped wreckage. In old times
the ratio of the specie basis ranged
in some states as high as 335 per
cent. At this time vast number
of the banks are very deficient in
gold and silver.
Yet with the small ratio of specie
held by the banks for deposit and
circulation, the bankers are work
ing hard to have the greenbacks
funded into bonds and their banks
placed on a gold basis, while Ger
tain bankruptcy will surely come
to them and the people. Therefore
it looks as if the bankers were going
mad. If their scheme is successful,
the result will be that all the banks
throughout the country will be
crushed, except very few strong
ones (which will be left and they
will establish branches and do the
business. Even Mr.. Edward At
kinson's the Third National Bank
of Boston, had only 3! cents specie
to each dollar of deposits and cir
culation. The National Union
Bank of New York had only AZ
cents specie. Mr.. Jos. c. Hendrix,
president of the National Bankers
Association, is at the head of this
bank. The Preston National Bank
of Detroit held only 5 1-5 cents
specie. Mr.. +. w. Hayes is pres
ident of this bank and he is vice
president of that association.

For Weak Hair.

When the hair begins to fall and
approved hair TONES and brushing
have little effect, to thoroughly
massage the scalp is often beneficial,
as it stimulates the circulation, and
also raises the hair on the head and
gives it a heavy appearance. The
massage should be given with the
palm of the hand and the finger
tips, but the nails should not touch
the scalp.

Remedy for Freckles.

Surgeon Major Wrafter, in a
letter to the Calcutta Medical Be
porter, says question has lately
been asked there of a wash or
remedy to remove freckles from a
child's face-Something simple and
harmless, it being for tender skin.
AS the term implies, ephelis, or
freckles, are pigmentary spots
seated in the retemucosum, usually
met with on the face and backs OF
the hands in children having red
hair and a delicate skin, and are,
without question, produced from
prolonged exposure to the rays of
the sun in hot weather, as common
experience declares; but it is evident
that the solar influence must act
upon a susceptible skin. They
vary in size from a pins head to a
lentil, and are of a brown color;
they become darker during the
summer, but do not usually disap-
pear entirely in the winter months.
They are of no pathological import
ance, and can scarcely be mistaken
for any other cutaneOus affection.
The following is a perfectly
harmless preparation for removing
freckles of the skin:
Take two ounces of lemon juice,
half drachm of powdered borax,
and one drachm of white sugar.
Mix them, and let them stand few
days in glass stoppered bottle till
the liquor is fit for use; then rub it
on the hands and face occasionally.

Black and white is quite as much
in vogue as ever, and black and
white shepherds plaid promises to
be favorite fabric this coming
spring. Garnished with black
velvet ribbon and cut steel buckles
it makes very stylish gown.
A very elegant plain cloth has a
bourette stripe raised in camel's
hair on its smooth surface, while
another very swell looking one has
a cross bar of tufted wool very

Useful Recipes.

BRoILED OYSTERS.
remove all bits of shell from large
oysters, lay them between the bars
of a buttered oyster gridiron, and
hold them over a hot fire until their
edges begin to curl. Season, serve
at once on toast.
To BROWN FLoUR.-Put a thick
layer of flour into baking pan and
place in a hot oven. Watch it and
stir it with a spoon until the flour
is well Drowned all through. When
it becomes cold, put into preserve
jars and cover closely. This is
splendid for gravies and sauces.
TONGUE TOAsT.-Take boiled,
smoked tongue and mince it very
fine. Heat cream to boiling and
then make it rather thick with the
minced tongue and season to taste.
When the tongue is thoroughly
heated, stir in a beaten egg and
remove from the fire at once.
Spread slices of buttered toast with
this mixture.
PINEAPPLE CAKE.-Peel a small
pineapple and crate it. Beat a
quarter of a pound of butter to a
cream, with pound of powdered
sugar; add the yolks of twelve eggs
to it, and the grated pineapple.
Sift a level teaspoonful of salt and
two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking
powder with a pound of flour, and
then quickly beat the flour into the
cake batter. Put the batter at
once into molds, and bake. This
is very good.
CASSEROLE OF POTATOES For
casserole of potatoes cook eight
large potatoes in sailed water until
done, drain and mash until fine and
light; add two tablespoonful of
butter and one and one-half tea.
spoonfuls of salt, with one half cur-
full of milk; beat thoroughly; pack
into buttered mould, let stand for
five minutes; turn out on a platter,
brush with beaten egg and brown
in the oven; serve birds or mutton
chops broiled, standing around tie
casserole.
Hot MILK.-Hot milk is the
newest panacea for all complexion
ills. If the face be wrinkled,
sallow, freckled or otherwise
afflicted, hot milk, says the en-
thusiast over this new remedy,
will produce a cure. Converts
declare that the face, after being
washed with milk at night, feels
wonderfully refreshed, while the
skin soon becomes very white and
soft. Some even go so far as to
pour a generous quantity Of milk
into the water for the bath, and
claim that it is positively magical
in removing fatigue.

Pillow slips look very pretty
when trimmed all around with frill-
ing, sometimes they have a large
satin stitch monogram worked in
the middle, this side being turned
over against the bolster at night, so
that the plain side is uppermost.
Very smart pillows are covered
with brightly colored silk. The
slips are then Ornamented at the
ends with lace insertion and other
open work, through which the
colOred cover is visible.

His conduct in New York city in
his first canvass, as stated in the
Herald, was reprehensible.
His intermedling in 1885 with
the legislation in Congress, in writ
ing and telling Congressman what
they should do, being installed into
the office of President. was extreme
presumption and beneath the dig
nifty OF a respectable citizen.
His course in securing the repeal
of the silver purchase law of July
IA, 1890, through threats and prom
Uses, was tyrannical and in violation
of the law, as well as decency.
His refusal to purchase silver
bullion during the closing months
of the existence of that law, which
he short time previous declared
was mandatory, was violation of
law, and setting laws at defiance
which merited impeachment.
His most outrageous conduct in
executing the sale through Francis
L. Stetson, his late partner, to the
Rothschilds and Morgan syndicate,
of $50, 100000 in United States four
per cent bonds, at the very small
premium of four and half per
cent, while the open market Value
was 81 per cent premium, was ex-
tremely culpable, and for it he
should have been called to the bar
of the House, to answer, for i'm
parchment.
His course throughout in the sale
of 1862, 100000 in United States
bonds, saddling upon the people
this enormous principal of debt,
besides 1915, 100000 interest upon
the same, making the vast sum in
principal and interest of $507, $780,
900 of debt, in time of peace, de-
serves the censure of every homes
citizen.
