Speaking of the Queen.

An amusing tale, illustrating the
ebullient loyalty to her majesty on
the part of British subjects in South
Africa, comes to hand from a young
Welshman at present residing in the
colony. The incident happened at din
ner at :he house where he is staying.
He prefaces the story with the remark
that at the moment of writing feeling
between the English and Dutch is high
owing to the election. He says: ''In
addition to the regular boarders, two
Dutchmen came to the table and be-
gan to talk to each other of the SUI
perior virtues of the Dutch as COM
pared with the English. The talk in
creased AZ speed and heat, and pres
emily the name of Victoria was men
toned, when one of them exclaimed:
Damn Nictoria!' With that the Eng
lis nman who sat next to the offending
Dutchman threw the whole contents
of his plate at his head-meat, pota-
toes. cabbage and gravy. Every other
boarder threw at MIN the article near
est at hand-half loaf of bread, a
hot potato, or a jug of water-until
the poor victim cried for mercy, which
was granted to him after withdrawing
his words and making a suitable apol-
cgy. He looked the most pitiable be-
ing I ever saw. The water and the
gravy ran down his back and streamed
out over his boots. He will, no doubt,
be very careful in future how to speak
of Victoria in the presence of Brit
ishers." Gazette.

A SPECIE BASIS.
and Industrial Paralysis
Have Followed n single Gold
Standard.

For some years during and after thu
war we were on a paper basis, and for
awhile a paper dollar was not worth
over 40 cents in gold, but our people
prospered as they had never prospered
before. There were no strikes and no
tramps; labor was employed and was
content. There were enterprise, thrift
and industry everywhere. Then we
contracted our currency, and paid the
awful price of six years of panic. with
all the misery and ruin which it spread
over the land, in order to get on coin
or specie basis, as 1t was then called.
Now look at the price our country
with the rest of the world is paying for
this gold standard. Bankruptcy, par
alysis, ruin, endless suffering and mis-
cry for all these years, and we are
getting absolutely nothing in return
for it. Debts have been practically
doubled by law; that 10 a condition
that was created by law which so af-
fects prices that it forces the debtor
to sell twice as much property as was
formerly needed to pay off his debt.
All the great European countries are
even worse off than we are. A year
ago Mr.. Depew returned from a gen.
eral tour of Europe, and in an inter-
view stated that the one thing which
struck him everywhere was the almost
paralysis in the industries
and in trade, and the misery which
goes with 1t. In making this statement
he simply verified what other travel
ers, as well as the European writer's,
have already proclaimed to the world
No man has pointed out or can point
out wherein the people of the world
have derived one dollars worth of BEN
eft by the adoption of the single gold
standard. This fearful payment of the
ifeblood of the nations of the earth
has gone practically for nothing. and
there is no hope or prospect of restor-
ng the prosperity and happiness of
our people until this great wrong Is in
some manner righted.

Lower Rates Indicate Dfminution of

Industry.

The agreement to pay interest does
lot contemplate the purchase of
money, but the return of the same
thing borrowed. The value of money
is to be determined by its purchasing
power, not by it's Investigating

Falling prices work ruin and disaster
to industries and business. Men do
not increase their industries or start
new enterprises when everyone is los
ing money in their line. Industries
and business are operated largely
upon borrowed money. The demand
for the loan of money is created by
the activity of industries and business.
Therefore interest is highest when IN

ing and lowest when they are dimin-

when $1,000 Looked Big.

Divide anything up into parts and
you magnify it. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an idea of
how much $1,000 is. She had no idea of
money. Her purchases were enormous.
It happened one day that her eye fell
upon magnificent ring, and she COW
eted it. It cost $1,000. But what was
$1,000 to her il comparison with the
ring? Of course her husband consent
ed to the purchase. What else could
dutiful, affectionate husband do? But
he tried this method of educating his
wife concerning the great price of the
ring. He instructed his banker to send
her the $1,000 in small pieces-pennies,
dimes, quarters. In came the money,
bagful after bagful. She never had such
an idea of $1,000 before. When the
money was piled before her it alarmed
her; the price of the ring went up
hundredfold, and was considered at
once an extravaganza which she of her
own option abandoned.-N. o. Times

OF SHEEP RAISING
Rows with Ranchers and Cattlemen
Law of the Winchester and
the Castor Bean.

Under the present land laws any
man has right to Craze any amount
of stock on any portion of the public
lands forest, Indian and military re-
serves and national parks excepted) at
any time. Naturally, sheep are very
close grazers, and an area on which
they are pastured cannot be used for
either cattle or horses. ''They won't
work together" Furthermore, sheep
are herded stock, while cattle and
horses are never herded. As a result,
a sheep owner can drive his sheep to
any portion of the public range he may
select, and can therefore exercise es-
sentiaHy a prior right to any choice
piece of grazing land and exclude all
other stockmen from it. The only limit
to a sheep owners progress over the
public range is, first, mutual consent
between himself and his stock-graz-
ing neighbors as to limits; second, the
use of physical force. Between reason
able men mutual consent is usually eff
fective. Between men who cannot
come to an agreement various discour-
agements are adopted, such as poison
ing sheep by scattering on the ground

with salt, burning up the sheep herd
er's camp when he is away herding his
sheep, or opening fire on band with
buckshot Or bullets. Occasionally these
amenities end in the death of one
or more men by shooting.
Persistent opposition to grazing
sheep in Oregon reserves is kept up
by the ranchers who live along the
routes over which the sheep are driven
to and from the mountains. These
ranchers own plots of fenced arabic
land, taken up for the most part un-
der the homestead act, and containing.
as a rule. 16O acres. This fenced area
is not sufficiently large, in addition to
the land under cultivation, to furnish
pasturage for the few horses and
cows required to work the ranch and
supply milk and butter. Their only
pasturage resource. therefore-for IN
der the existing land laws they can
neither buy nor lease any more land
from the governments to run their
stock upon the outside range. Be-
tween one rancher and another the
Gust omary range of his neighbor,
though he has no title to it, is re-
spected. But many of the sheep herd
ers, not all, in driving their bands to-
ward the mountains in the spring,
when the new grass is in excellent con-
dition, without the slightest consider
alton for the rancher, and often, doubt
less, to pay back a score of an earlier
years quarrel, will drive his sheep up
TO the very fences, and the grass may
be eaten off so close that for the re-
mainder of the season a cow cannot
get nibb1e. There is no law, except
the questionable law. of the Winches
ter, by which the rancher can defend
his home, and he earnestly supports
the demand for exclusion, believing
that if the sheep are kept out of the
the industry would be ru-
ined and his own little range left free.

PEATE'S GREAT LENS.
A. Pennsylvania Preacher Grinds the
Largest Reflector i'm the
World.

John Peate, Methodist preacher of
Granville, Pa, has just completed the
largest silver-on-glass telescope lens
in the world.
DR.. Peate, who is rs years old, de-
vised most of the machinery for the
delicate work as he went along, and
now that his telescope is completed he
will present it to the Methodist uni
versity in Washington.
Fifteen or 20 years ago DR.. Peate
became interested in making lenses,
but except some slight technical in
struction from John a. Brashear, the
Pittsburgh lens-maker, his achieve
ment is the result of his own expert
ments. He could have ordered the
glass from the ST. Gobin's works, in
France, where for centuries very many
large telescope lenses have been cast,
or from Alvah Clark, of Cambridge.
But. DR.. Peate did not have the money
to send to France, neither is the uni
versity very rich.
Besides, DR.. Peate is thorough
American, and it was matter of pride
with him that all the work for his
mammoth telescope should be done in
America. A small plate-glass COM
pany 1t Butler, Pa, undertook to make
the cast for him. The first four mold
ings were failures, the fifth a sue
cess.
In the meantime good Methodist
workmen had built little shop for
DR.. Peate, and the minister himself
laid the bricks of the chimney. AS soon
as the casting was finished the glass
was brought from Butler and placed
on a big revolving table in the middle
of this workroom.
Then with a grinder weighing 900
pounds, worked by four-horse-power
gas engine, his own invention, DR..
Peate began the formidable task of
smoothing and polishing the rough
surface of the glass.
For three years the old man has
worked at his sef-imposed task, and
at last his labor has been rewarded.
The lens is perfect. Experts have pro-
nounced it fiawless. 1t is 62 inches in
diameter. 5A inches thick, and weighs
/ 500 pounds. 1t will be mounted as an
in a tube 33 feet long. The
cost of so Mounting will run up into
the thousands of dollars.
L
in diameter than the Yerkes lens, but
the Peate glass is a reflector, while
the Yerkes glass, like most modern
telescope lenses, is a refractor. DR..
Peate's mammoth speculum is now
the largest telescope in the world that
is in use, partly because astronomers
have in recent years generally pre-
ferred the refracting lens. For this
reason the telescope of Lord Rose,
the most gigantic telescope ever con-
structed. is not now used. This enor-
nous instrument has clear aperture
of six feet and focal length of 50
feet. 1t has two specula, one about
3A, the other about four tons in
weight. For many years, however, the |

New Discoveries in Gutta Percha.

1t has been the custom in order to
obtain gutta percha to make incisions
into trees and utilize the exudations
therefrom, which accumulate in large
Jumps or cakes. This continuous
bleeding to which the tree was sub
jected finally destroyed it. Latterly
the leaves of the tree have been used.
and it is found that they not only
furnish an article superior in quality to
to that obtained by the old process,
but that this can be secured with
out injury to the tree itself. Orchards
of these trees are set out and must be
renewed at intervals in order to keep
up the supply. The product obtained
from the leaves is less expensive and
of very much higher grade than any
previously secured. 1t is disable for
much more delicate work than the
ordinary gutta percha, is more elias
tic and resists the action of the strong
est acids. Unlike the ordinary prod
uct, il has a high value even in the
last stages of it's usefulness. Twenty
five per cent. of the original value of
the material has been paid for scraps.
