Rabbits Fear More Snow.

A new point in weather wisdom comes
from Rhode Island An observer says
the rabbits are barking the trees some
distance above the ground with their
hind legs, and that this means coming
deep fall of snow, during which the
rabbits will need the bearings to return
to their hiding places. The higher the
marks, according to this theory, the
bigger the blizzard. The forecast comes
late in the season, and the rabbits rep
utation as weather prophet will prob
ably suffer.

LATEST TELEPHONE IDEA.
central" Wakes Sick People In Time to
Take Their Medicine.

Take Their Medicine.
The latest idea in telephone appli-
cations comes from Mobile. where
the local telephone company is said to
have arranged with patrons who are Or
dered TO take medicine at frequent in
tervals during the night to call them
up on the telephone when it is time to
take the dose. The receiver is carried
to the bed and placed close to the ear Of
the sleeper, with call bell Of low
tone.
Another curious point has just been
brought out. So many burglaries have
been frustrated by the police appearing
on the scene at most inconvenient
time for the burglars, in response to a
telephone call from the inmates of the
house, that the first thing craftsman
now does on getting into house is to
cut the telephone wires.
This was done in recent case Of
housebreakIng, but the lady of the
house quickly evened up matters by
pressing button at the head of the
stairs and instantly lighting every cleo
trio lamp in the house. The disgusting
publicity which this involved was too
much for the feelings Of the thieves,
who forthwith decamped. Louis

American Girls Abroad,

Berlin has the only American girls
club in Germany. There is one in Paris
on larger scale, which owns large
building, originally a seminary. The
rooms are rented at very cheap rates,
say about IS a month, and the restau-
rant in the same building has every pro-
vision for economy.
In Berlin there is no need Of such an
arrangement, for American girls there
are not artists, as in Paris, but are eli
ther musicians or students of philology.

WHAT is MONEY!
Subject Clearly Explained by College
| President at Farmers Convention.

| Subject Clearly Explained by Collcge
President at "A Farmers Convention.
The following is part Of the synopsis
printed by the Milton wis Journal OF
an excellent address by President Whit
ford of Milton college before the farm
ers' convention ut a recent meeting at
Milton. IL contains some very lucid
statements of money and Of the power of
] governments 20 fix value:
First. separate and distinct val
ucs are assigned 20 money, one being
the intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one of these
values.
Second. The common practice OF
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ey-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for system of bimetallism.
Third. Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which is
made Of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable i'll these metals.
Fourth. The market value of these
metals not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality. not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
a medium eli exchange. But the real
measure thus declared 90 be effective
and lasting must be the oue established
by the laws Of trade, not Ly the edicts Of
government.
Fifth Government itself cannot fix
or control the market value or price Of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in tie practical arts.
So ii cannot make fat money and COM
pei the people to circulate it a great
length Of time as money Of any sort.
Sixth. Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
dcemable in the latter. Whenever coin
shows even slight inferiority of its
market value to its face value it tends
at once to crowd out of use even coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh. Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard of values
because of its greater market value, its
less weight for given sum of money
and its least fluctuation in market value
of any Of the precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver whose
market value is less than their face val.
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true Of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.

MAD SOULS OF OXEN.
RAGE OF SLAIN CATTLE INFECTS ALL
WHO EAT THEIR MEAT.
Odd Theory OF Countess Wachtineistcr,
heosophist-Advantage OF Vegetable
Diet--Our Psychic Natures and What
They Take Up From Our Food.

The Countess Wachtmeister, theoso
phist, vegetarian and coworker of Mrs.
Annie Besant, in the course of recent
lecture in New York said some strik'
ing things about the slaughter of ami
mails and the eating of meat.
HAS it ever struck you, said she,
"what an awful thing it is to eat meats
If ono is at all psychic, he'll feel, in
coming into great city, for example,
the agony of the poor beasts that are
constantly being slaughtered to feed the
grosser part of man. Have you ever
thought Of the awful agony of those
poor animals? Why, they know they are
going to die They smell the blood of
the slaughter and suffer fortunes which
are reflected back upon their psychic
nature.
81 have in mind as l speak the case
of poor OK that was called by the cruel
men who slew him splendid piece of
beef. So one day they put rope about
his neck and led him forth to be killed.
He was a noble beast and was in love
with his life, and when they came for
him and pat the halter about his noble
neck he seemed TO know what was to
become of him
"Thon did he fight and struggle
against that cruel fate Then did his
soul rise up in dumb protest against the
ediet which compelled him to give up
the life that was so dear. But he was Il
splendid piece of beef and must pay the
price
''They led him forth toward the
slaughter house, and at every step Of
the way he resisted He pulled and
tugged at that cruel rope. He knew
what was before him, and his agony at
the prospect Of his doom was almost
more than human
And so gradually they took him to
the spot where he was to receive the ia
tai blow. The air reeEed with the odor
Of fresh blood The poor beasts eyes
were starting from his head; his suffer
ing was most intense. Then did he re-
bel with all the force of his psychic ma
tuIe and died in registering that silent
revolt which must necessarily have left
its impress upon his whole system and
hence have infected those who partook
of his meat
81 myself for II years have never
tasted fish, flesh or fowl, and l have
never known sick day in all that time.
We have four bodies to fced-tho physic-
al, the mental, the astral and the spir-
itual. We should remember that our as
tral body is fed on the psychic emana-
tons of the food we cat. If we eat ami
nal food, our bodies are fed on the
psychic carnations of the passions of
those animals. If we cat vegetables the
sun shines on, we shall absorb into our
bodies pare carnations.
1.-The mental body is fed on the
thoughts we assimilate, and the emana-
tons Of these thoughts sometimes be-
come perfectly iridcscent. The spiritual
body is fed ON spiritual thoughts, but
if one never pray our spiritual bodies
look dim

BRADsTREeT's REPORT.
All Branches Of Business Shaw Increase Over
Last Week and Last Year.

New York, Aug. 6.-Bradstreets, to-
morrow will say: The movement OF
general merchandise throughout the
country is unquestionably larger than
last week; cotton goods and wooden IN
dustries are better off. and the stagna-
ton in iron and steel have given away
to growing inquiry and increasing
output. But more significant still is the
extraordinary expansion in bank clear
ings this week and last month. The in
creased value of our export trade in the
year ending June so. 1897, to which refer
ence has been frequently made, is in
dicated by the statement that It
amounts to s1.O32. oOl. 900. the largest
like total on record, Is pecent larger
than in the previous record year, 1892.
Compared with the year ended June 30,
1896. the gain is 20 per cent
Bank clearings have steadily in
creased since July /. The gain was
only / per cent. in the first week of
July. compared with a year ago, while
in the last week of July the advance
was 2.S per cent. The gain for the first
week in August, compared with the
like week in 1896, is 25 per cent. The
total July clearings aggregate $4,786.-
O04,357, the largest for any month since
December, 1895 and the largest for any
July. except one, on record. The July
increase over the June total of this wear
is per cent. and over July last year It
is 10 per cent The weeks bank clear
ings throughout the United States
amount to s1l42, OO0, 900. an increase of
10 per cent. over last week.
The upward tendency of prices dur
ing the past three weeks is again fea-
ture, wool being firmer and higher for
some varieties. Cotton yarns are
stronger also, as are some grades OF
cottons at West. Shoes are no higher
but leather and hides cost more than
