The Daily States of New Or
leans says of the avowal of Sen
ator Thurston, of Nebraska, to
retire from political life 4:
I'VE are inclined to believe,
however, that he wants TO retire
from politics because he realizes
that Nebraska is lost to the Re-
publicans, and that his chances
of being reelected to the senate
are on a par with those of a
SNOWFALL in the lower regions"
Just so-nor l too don't think
he'd stop if he didn't see the
dark clouds ahead; but then they
have wrought about all the MS
chief they can; and all the lead

tire. The only question would

caldwell Recordl

Teachers examination was in
progress here last week, and
from information that can be
CLEANED, it was o hard, heavy
task from first to last. 1t is al
legged that some of the questions
border close on the speculative,
and that answers at the best are
considered fairly debatable. AS
the result of the new order of
things promulgated by our State
Superintendent, only 8 out of the
81 applicants passed the examin-
alton, and some of the success
full ones got through by the mar.
rowest margin. First grade GER
tifcates from other states and in
some instances holders of state
certificates went down before the
ordeal prescribed by Idaho's Sup
erintendent of Public ~Instruc-
ton.
The complaint is general that
the questions were not only diff
ticult. but many of them SO I'M
usual that the average teacher
could hardly be expected to ans
wer them within the limited
time allowed to examinations. /.

stituted gold for silver, as. in truth, 1t
has been quite impossible to do. Even
the increased interest in gold mining
here is due largely to the fact that labor
is paid in silver, and the work of mining
thus rendered cheaper. Gold mining on
a silver basis is very attractive, for the
dollar of silver inside of Mexico retains
its former purchasing power in almost
all cases. Corn and wheat, barley and
rice, are about the same as in Hum
boldt's time, or nearly a century ago,
and SO with sugar. Coffee is dearer be-
cause of the price being made abroad.
whittier it is largely exported. If it
costs more to live here for people above
the working class, it is because people
demabd as necessities things which for
merly were luxuries pure and simple.
Prosperity has brought new wants. Peo-
pie demand better and more tastefully
decorated houses, better furniture, car
pets, etc. Slowly the standard of living
is rising and the new wants impel men
to greater energy in the pursuit of bus
mess. Had the country been on a gold
basis there would have been no such
outbrCst of business energy, and people
would have remained contented with the
simplicity of other days.
Mexico is in reality presenting to the
world an object lesson in the intelligent
turning of what promised to be ca
lamity into a great public benefit. The
decentralization of silver abroad merely
melted the Mexican people to make the
best use of their cheaper money. Our
exports attest this. Cheap silver may
not be an unmixed blessing, but on the
whole it is beneficial to this country

kings have reduced the price and i'm
proved the quality of sugar, but as long
as they get their fraction on each pound
the Americans buy they can make a
profit all the way from 20 to so per cent.
The coal oil monopoly has also reduced
the price and improved the produce,
but its little fraction makes the greatest
money making enterprise in America.
The man who invented the patent beer
stopper is getting bigger income than
the president of the United States. A
cheap headache remedy is allowing its
proprietor to spend 100000 year and
still lay up another 100000 for a rainy
day. The railroads are getting their
support from the fractions on the tons.
And SO it goes.
The first thing is to get control of some
article of universal use, and the small
fraction will do the rest. But the same
principle runs through all business, and
large sales and small profits is the order
of the times.-Lesles Weekly.

The Silver Standard in Mexico

Looking up and down the western
hemisphere, Mexico sees no indica ton
that the sold standard brings prosper

of business depression; the United
States is filled with discomfort, ard un-
employed workingmen wander hope
lessly through the streets of many
cities; Chile has labor troubles. and
sees women and children, the families Of
working men. on the verge of hunger.
ard the gold standard Intellectual to
bring prosperity, So far we have no
reason to desire to abandon the silver
basis. 1t has its conveniences; it has
rendered it hard for corporations here,
capitalized on gold basis, to make a
good showing on net earnings, and it
has inflicted a heavy burden on the gov
eminent in the payment of its gold in
terest abroad. But, on the other hand,
it has wonderfully stimulated internal
activity given us many mills and fac
tories, ard, consequently, employment
for the people in industries that will be
permanent, and it has given a great
stimulus TO tropical agriculture; in fact
to every business which has export for
its aim. We pay taxes in silver, wages
in silver and ship out products to sell
for great premium.
There has been seen, in many lines, a

Her Sixty-Nine-Cent Smile

They had been ouarreling vigorously
all evening, and, although they had os-
tensibly made up again, it was evi-
dent from the chiliness of her manner
that the reconciliation process had been
more shallow than thorough. Her smile
in particular, icily sweet and palpab IDLY
forced, annoyed him beyond measure,
and he presently resolved, being himself
a little angry, upon revenge.
With this end in view he leaned devot-
edly toward her as the elevated train in
which they sat sackened up at a sta
ton, and asked gently:
DO you know what your smile re-
minds me of?''
No" she responded, expectaDtly, as
the aforesaid smile thawed a little in
anticipation Of a compliment. What
is it ?"
"Of the basement of cheap dry goods
store" he responded, sweetly, his clear
voice travelling all over the silent car
and attracting the attention of every
passenger in it. THE girls in some of the
State street easements keep a different
smile on tap for every customer and
they regulate it by the amount you pur
chase. Twenty cents, a tiny smile;
AS, and it grows wider; SO, and touch of
sweetness creeps into it; SO and it
spreads all over the face. Your smile to-
night reminds me of the 69-cent vari-
ety."
Ar impre ss!onable man, sitting right
behind the couple, burst into loud and
hastily suppressed guffaw and more
than one passenger smiled. But the girl
addressed banished every trace of a
smile from her face, and her subsequent
manner toward her triumphant but
trembling escort was so icy that the con-
ductor buttoned his coat quickly api
turned his collar as he passed their seat,

The following anecdotes would have
delighted Woodrow, though how he would
have classed it l cannot guess. A gentle
man, very web known in many ways,
was at his house in the country, where
young lady was visiting himself and his
wife. She lost pearl from ring. Four
or five weeks later she again visited her
friends, arriving in the evening, and, as
it happened. not going into the library
that day. Next morning. while dress
ing, her host said to his wife:
Did you remember to take away the
pearl that Mary lost from the place
where put it?''
you never said anything about it,
answered the lady.
oh excuse me! I told both you and
her that I found it in chink of the
bureau in the library. and put it on top
of my papers, and 1 asked you to take
it lest the servants shoul dust it away in
the morning.
The lady then went to her guest room
and asked her if she remembered being
told about the discovery of the pearl. She
agreed with her hostess that the subject
had not even been mentioned.
Then the maids will have swept it
to his study in his dressing-gown. The
pearl was not where he remembered
having laid it. But he looked in the
crevice where he said that he had found
it, and there lay the pearl.
One explana ton would be that he had
dreamed the whole affair, the dream be-
ing suggested by an unconscious, or sub
conscious perception of the pearl in the
crevice. But he cannot recall any dream
on the subject; he was certain that he
had found the thing when wide awake,
taken it out of tine chnk, placed it on
top of his papers, and told both ladies.
1t is just conceivable that he actually
did find it and place it on the papers;
that meaning to inform the ladies, he
believed that he had actually done so;
and that the pearl was accidentally
swept back by the housemaid into the
chinll of the bureau whence he had res
cued it, This would rot have been Wod-
rows explanation. but it would have
recomme mended itself to DR.. Carlyle.
1 know personally of four cases in
which lost articles were discovered by
dream of the losers! The last case was
the key of the cellar-an awkward thing
to lose. After it had been missing for
days the owner dreamed that it was
lying in certain drawer, where it was
found, though why. how or when it was
placed there memory could not recall.
Sleep seems occasionally to have this
power of reviving lost memories of
things done or perceived with imperfect
waking consciousness.-And drew Lang IN
