THAT BIKE PATH.
Work on It Is Being Pushed Rapidly to
Completion.

Work on It Is Being Pushed Rapidly to
Completion.
Joseph Bendt. who has of late been
soliciting contributions for the building
of bicycle path between here and
Racine, has finished the track as far as
Pike creek which is a distance of about
two miles. The road is complete and
the necessary culverts and bridges
have been built. His purpose is to
build as far as Berryville and then
leave the matter in the hands of Racine.
The path will, of course, be Of greatest
benefit to wheelmen, and for that rea-
son they should exert themselves to
push the thing through. Mr.. Bendt
has kept at the project in way which
shows that he is determined to carry it
through. While they have some one
so willing and eager to go ahead with
it, cyclists ought to take advantage of
the occasion. The good road spirit is
undoubtedly sufficiently strong in
Racine to carry the path through over
their half of the distance.

More Money In Circulation.

IF there was any actual relation be
tween the quantity of money i'll circuIa-
tion and national prosperity, we would
now be on d food tide. For more than
a twelvemOnth now the amount OF mon
ey in circulation i'll the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
l, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was i'll the process OF 1ncuba-
ton and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was ST.
500, 725, 200, making $21. Is per capita
on an estimated population Of II, $780,
600.
Nov. /, 1896, on the eve Of the cleo
ton, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
a debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was 81, 627, O55,-
GA, making $22. SO per capita on an es-
timated population of 100000
March 1, 1897, on the eve Of McKin-
ley's inauguration, the total money IN
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.,
675, 694, 953, making $23. Ia per capita
on an estimated population of 72,418,-
900.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
1856, 800, 1913, or more than So per cap
tia of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still $1.30
below that of 1892, just before the pan
ic. But the per capita is now higher
than it was in 1890 or any year IN the
history of the republic prior to that.
Then why are the times not as good as
they were along in the late eighties!
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence and industrial activ-
ity, and not on the amount OF money IN
circulation. This is simply the teaching
of the old proverb that ninable six
pence is better than slow shilling. -

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jones Admits That There Can Be
but One Standard of Value.


No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain more
than one standard of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, Or more
than one standard of length. II there
be two or more standards of different
value, the standard of lower value will
in practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market, the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet or three feet i'll length, and buys
carpets by the yard at fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet in length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 1000 or 2, $40
pounds, he will receive tons Of 1000
pounds each. If he buy potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that a bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that dollar is either a gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to it's face value,
or silver coin, with bullion value Of
only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
ers of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars of the lesser
Ealue
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences of injustice with reference
to past contracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits i'll the
report of the silver commission of 1875
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is variance between the le-
gal and market relations of the metals
the standard would be practically based
on one metal, and it the cheaper and
more available one " The financial his
tory Of the United States and Of France
furnish conclusive evidence of the accu-
racy Of the senator's view on this point.

THE NEW WAVE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food and Drink
Marks New Era.

Marks a New Era.
A great popular pure drink and pure
food wave,is just now passing oyer the
country, and it seems to have come TO
stay.
More attention is being given to
articles of food and drink than hereto
fore, and people are slowly learning
that good health cannot be preserved
under the present civilization unless
the habits are of q more natural char
acter. The apparently harmless coffee
habit now numbers its victims by the
thousands, producing obstinate stom-
ach and bowel troubles that will not
abAte except by leaving off the habit.
1t is not always IN easy task to drop
II lifetime habit.
One Of the late discoveries is pure
food coffee, made entirely of grains,
and possessing great fattening and
nouIishing properties, while it brews
the exact deep seal brown color of
Mocha, and when cream is added, it
takes the rich golden brown of old
Java The taste is pungent and pi-
QUAINT. quite similar to coffee; in tact,
50 close TO it in aroma and flavor, that
the coffee drinker who has had trouble
with coffee, will freely take on the new
grain drink when he discovers that it
agrees with him perfectly, and its
heathful properties quickly dismiss his
former ails.
The great feature of this new and
rational method of dismissing sickness,
is to avoid drugging oneself and quit
hurtful habits, taking in only what is
known 10 be pure natural food such as
the Creator intended for mans subsiS-
tence.
Nothing is more to the point than
this new food drink made from grains.
1t bears the name of " Postum Cereal,
and is made by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Linn, Battle Creek, Mich.
1t claims to be direct and quick pro
ducer Of new blood corpuscles by the
natural method of good nourishing
food taken in liquid form. 1t is
quite bit less expensive than coffee,
and altogether it's use appeals to ones
common sense.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Amy soil that is too damp naturally
to produce healthy trees should be
avoided.
Vacant places in young orchard can
be filled with trees, but not SO with an
old one.
If only well-rotted and thoroughly
fined manure is used the garden can
hardly be made too rich.
Lime is one of the best materials to
apply to get rid of the white grub in
the strawberry beds. .....
Wood ashes and poultry manure make
the best fertilizers for onions. They
can both be used as top dressing.
1t is good plan as well as an inter-
esting experiment to try few new
varieties every year on small scale.
When onions are to be raised from
seed all reasonable care should be taken
10 sow the seed at the first opportunity.
In manuring fruit trees the best re-
suits can be secured by scattering the
manure so that the whole surface will
be enriched.
Now is good time to haul out man
ure and scatter it over the strawberry
beds. Plenty of manure, evenly spread,
will insure fine fruit.
Keep fruit trees properly trimmed
from the beginning of their growth, and
in this way secure the desired form
and save the cutting off of large limbs.
To grow large, rich currants, make
the ground rich and keep it clean and
mellow. Thin out the brush by cut
ting away the old stunted growth of
wood, and leave the young, vigorous
roots.
Strawberry plants that are we'll
mulched are least affected by sudden
change of weather. The mulch also
prevents the plants from beginning to
grow too early in the season and lessons
the risk of their getting killed by late
frosts.-St. Louis Republic.

How to Care for plants.

To keep plants free from insects one
of the best remedies is tobacco. Take a
small package Of strong tobacco and
pour over it boiling water. When cool
the plants should be set into the mix
ture and washed, leaves and all, besides
being thoroughly soaked with it. An
other remedy is strong soapsuds made
of carbolic soap and water. Plants
must be kept clean if they are to be
healthy. The leaves should be washed
occasionally in order that the dust may
be removed. The leaves are the lungs
CT the plants, and of course they can
not perform their work correctly if
pores are INSTRUCTED by dust.-Farm

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

The Two Essential Points to De
Aimed mt by Builders.
Prof. F. J.'H. Merrill, in paper read
before the Albany institute, says that
the question of good roads in this coun-
try is now at about the same sage at
which it was in England centary ago.
At that time roads were so b9d that
general investigation was undertaken
resulting in the formulation of certain
rules for road building, whose adoption
led to the construction OF the fine high
ways for which Great Britain has so
long been famous. The problem was
then of great commercial Importance,
as England had no railroads.
The experience of over 1000 years has
shown conclusively that there are two
essential points to be aimed at in the
construction of road. First, hard,
smooth waterproof surface; second,
thoroughly dry foundation. These
pI inciples were known to the Romans
300 years II. c. The surface of good
road may be of sufficient strength to
resist the wear and tear of traffic, and
smooth enough to prevent underwear on
vehicles. In connection with this, the
soil beneath must be made dry, and kept
dry. Therefore, the subject of read drain
age is as important as that OF road
metahng. The best road covering is
composed of angular fragments of some
stone, which will grind on the surface
into a dust, which, when wet, will bind
or, in measure, cement the fragments
together, so that water will not pene-
trate. The angular form is essential to
make the fragments interlock. The
sizes should be quite uniform. except
that the surface layer may consist of
smaller fragments chan the bottom
course. The total thickness of this
metaling must be at least six inches
on natural soil foundation. The frag-
ments should not exceed 2% inches in
diameter, and should be rolled in two
separate courses with a heavy steam
roller until the surface is absolutely
firm
