! largely abroad. What is there IN
America that Miss Goelet's fortune will
not procure for her? Rank. Will she
take it? Well, let us consider if a duck
Will swim. Rank is the only logical
ambition of the social life which Amer
lean girls of Miss Goelet's class lead.
An English dukedom, with castles and
parks and llveried menials is the best
aVallable form of it. If the rent roll
is short and the castles dilapidated. to
replenfsh the one and restore the 9th
er is but pleasant pastime for the POS
SCISSOR OF so many millions. The duke
whose name is now coupled with that
OF Miss Goelet is Henry John In1es-
Ker, eighth Duke Of Roxburghe, the
head of one of the most ancient Scot
tlsh border families. He was born July
rs, 1876, and succeeded to the dukedom
in 1892. In addition to the dukedom
he bears the title of Marques of Bow
mont and Cessford, Earl of Roxburghe,
Earl OF Kelso, Viscount Broxmouth.
Baron Roxburghe, and Baron Ker. of
sCessford and Cavertoun, in Scotland:
Earl Innes. in the United Kingdom
and a baronet of Nova Scotia. He is a
lieutenant in the Fourth Battalion Ar
gyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and
is actually serving in the army. He isH
young man Of fine physique. with a
pleasant, open, but in no way remarka-
Bile, face. He would make two Mari
boroughs, but, of course, only one
American heiress can have him. The
young duke derives added Importance
from the fact that his mother, the dow
ager duchess. is one Of the Queens
closest friends. The duchess was a
daughter of the seventh Duke of Marl-
borough, and is therefore an aunt Of
the present duke, who married Miss
Consuelo Vanderbilt. The Duke Of
Roxburghe would therefore have fam
lily connections in a very favorable po-
sition to conduct negotiations for Tie
acquisition Of an American heiress.

A New Egg Preventative.

M. BOurnOuf recommends in a
French journal the following method
Of preserving eggs: Dissolve in two
thirds of warm olive oil, one-third Of
beeswax and cover each egg complete-
ly with a thin layer of this pomade
with the end of the finger. The egg
shell by degrees absorbs the oil and
each of the pores becomes filled with
wax, which hermetically seals them
M. BournOuf aflrms that he has eaton
eggs kept two years in this manner in
place not exposed to too great ex-
tremes of temperature. He thinks also
that the germ may in this manner he
preserved for considerable time.
Frozen Root Grafts.-This is not new

was frozen solid. On examination no

found He offered to sell the lot of
10000 gratis for $40. We did not know
then that they were worth 10 cents hut
we took them and planted them beside

The result was a perfect stand of the

SILVER A NECESSITY.
Would Restore the Equilibrium OF
the Currency.


Discussion of the questions which
arise concerning the circulating me-
dunn have resulted in so broadening
the minds of those opposed to silver
that only a few are left whose sole re-
ply to arguments made by an advocate
of the white metal is: You're
crank or lunatic."
Time was when abuse and ridicule
were considered quite the proper thing
by goldite editors and spellbinders, but
that time has very nearly passed. There
are, however, a few narrow-minded men
in this country who cling to the old
method of procedure, but in their I'M
reasoning abuse they harm no one ex-
cept themselves and their cause.
Facts are more convincing than fus-
tan, and bimetallists, having the facts
on their side, are spreading conviction
broadcast among the people. When the
fact is stated that all the gold in the
world would furnish but $3.50 per cap
tia, the reply discourteous that the man
who states the fact is a ''crank or a
lunatic" loses force. It is not good econ
omy to conduct the business of the
world on a limited capital. What would
be thought of a merchant who would
endeaVor to make a success of his en-
terprise on one-tenth of the amount
of capital it required? The goldites
would be fully justified in characterize
ing such a man as a ''crank or luna
tie
For period of 20 years, the United
States has been doing business under
conditions the tendency of which has
been steadily against the debtor. The
increase in the purchasing power OF
gold has made it out of the question for
the debtor to cancel his obligations,
because he has been compelled to sur
render to the creditor from day to
day, from month to month and from
year to year all the products of his
labor. The price of commodities hay
ing fallen steadily, the creditor gets
all the benefit, and the dollar man
borrowed last year must be paid this
year with the uncarned increment of
un approaching currency added to the
original obligation.
We hear a great deal about the dis
| honesty of the "50-cent dollar" and
the wrong it's adoption would inflict
upon the creditor, but the 5o-cent dol
lar is a myth and the rehabilitation of
silver would simply restore the equi-
| librium of the currency, establish a
| lust relation between debtor and cred
| itor, prevent the pauperizing and en-
Shaving of labor and bring prosperity
once more within our gates.-Chicago
