A VANISHED CIVILIZATION.

Work Done by the Je-ults In South
America.
The pioneers of civilization In South
America were the Jesults. says Lippin-
colts. Although their influence In
many respects may not always have
been what was most conducive to the
prosperity of the new settlement. yet
their mode OF treating the natives was
more humane and their plan for the
development and progress OF tho coun-
try more advanced than any other at
tompts OF that period. They sought to
establish n permanent home for their
sect with n wealth and splendor that
would equal that of the old world and
their work was characterized by pru-
dencc. Industry and wisdom. Other
settlers came only as fortune hunting
advonturers to enslave the natives. nil
lnge the country and then return to
their own land with lll-gotten EaIps.
Monuments of the Jcsuits still remain
In churches, aqueducts, cities in ruIps
and the history OF 100 prosperous mis-
slons; from the Amazon to Brszil's
southern borders we sec their signs.
Tho aqueducts OF Rio dc Janelro, the
hundred churches of Bahia. the stone
water dams on the rivers OF G,ynz,
tho crumbling ruins OF almos, every
state of Brazil tell OF the Jesuit orcu-
patton. Other settlers of that p.rloJ

mission was to destroy. tear down and

Four-rrack Drsw-Bridge Over the Har-

New York. Feb. 5, 1s97.-One of the
most remarkable feats Of engineering
on record is nearing completion, and,
beginning Thursday Feb. IL, the pas
senger entering New York from the
north will ride over one of the grand
est examples of steel railway construc-

marvellous results in that direction.
Going south at 148th street, the tracks
of the New York Central begin to rise
gradually, and at 135th street they
cross the Harlem river on the new
four-track steel draw-bridge, at an ele-
walton of "a feet above high tide.
This massive structure is remarka-
BILE in being the first four-track draw
bridge ever constructed, and is the
largest bridge of the kind In the world

satisfactory answer has ever been given for

II the mind Is SO hewildered that 1t has no

real answer to this queer question lies In the
fact that most persons use their right hands
In preference TO the left, and are accustomed
to passing objects on their right-hand side.

OUR MONETARY SYSTEM.

Sen tor T., T lis Briefly What Really
Ais II.
senator w. A. PETER in the Forum:
The trouble with our monetary system
Is that we are trying to do an I'M
possible thing. You might as well un-
dcrtake to haul Il ton of hay on bi-
cycle us to do u hundred billion dol
lars worth of business on a hundred
millions dollars worth of gold coin.
The only way n gold standard can be
securely maintained is to use no more
credit paper of any kind whatsoever
than could be redeemed In gold If 1t
were presented for payment ut one
time; and that, we all know, Is utter
ly impracticable. As before stated, we
have not gold enough to supply more
than per cent. of our daily needs for
money. We use So worth of private
credit and 81 WORTH of coin in every
500 worth of business we transact
with the national banks, The simple
truth Is, we have long outgrown the
metallic money system and we shall
have to invent something better. IL
men want to trade in gold, let them do
so. that Is in every way lcgitimate: for
gold is n commodity, and II useful one
In many ways. Rut, ms the New York
Board of Trade said in resolution De
cember ., 1896, "a sound money credit
system Is Il necessary element TO the
stability of confidence" Money, in
Whatever form, is but credit coined.
The wise thing for us to do is to "es-
tablish n sound credit SYSTEM and
there Is no credit among us equal to
that of the government of the United
States. That, wisely used, Is sufficient
FOR all monetary purposes In addition
10 It's simplicity and naturalncss, 1t
would be II guaranty of loyalty next
only to the ownership of their homes
