year of $I97 ,4O7 SOB. Of this gold in
creased 1878, 205, instead of "going
into hiding" as was predicted if the
country did not take Bryan's silver
pills. The per capita of money in cir
bulation has increased from $22.57
one year ago to $24.74 in spite of the
fact that our population has increased
nearly two millions in that time. All
these are interesting figures when are
remembered the direful pictures of
the situation in case free silver was
defeated, which were presented by the

Hoods Pills with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Story Of the Oregon.

The American people have always
been proud OF their navy. Its acnieve-
ments have added luster to the nation
al name. Among its famous ships
there is none at the present time which
occupies larger share of popular at
tention than the battleship Oregon.
Her wonderful voyage from San Fran
cisco to Key West, her magnificent
fight off Santiago, her speed and
ftaunchness and force as a battleship,
the gallantry of her officers and crew
have all combined to give to the Ore
gon fame which exceeds even that of
"Old Ironsides" of the war of 1928.
In telling of the sea battle off Santiago
Spanish officer said: eve could
never tell just where the Oregon came
from. She seemed to rise out of the
sea-"
The West and the Pacific Coast can
take an honest pride in the Oregon.
She is combination of Western ma
terial and skill and genius and integ-
rlty. No more honestly built ship
floats on the sea. No other ship in
the navy could have made such a
voyage and not undergone repairs.
When the Oregon steamed into Key
West, Captain Clarke asked only for
coal and orders. There were no re-
pairs to make. Only think of it-16,-
600 miles under high pressure and not
a bolt or screw loose, nd men and
ship ready for the fray.

The Last Execution at Tyburp.

The last execution at Tyburn, says
a writer in Notes and Queries, took
place on Friday, Nov. 7, 1888, in the
person of John Austin, convicted on
the preceding Saturday of robbing
John Spicer and cutting and wound
ing HIM in cruel manner. In Wal
ford's cold and New London" it is
enormously said that "the last Grim
inal execution here was one Ryland,
who was hung [sicl for forgery in
r7S3." William Ryland was executed
on Aug. 29, two months before the
date Of Austin's conviction, and many
poor wretch made the fatal pilgrim
age to Tyburn in the interval, hanging
by Wholesale being the rule in those
days.
The long procession westward had
been attended by such disgraceful
scenes that the authorities resolved TO
hang criminals henceforth outside
Newgate prison, straight from the con-
demned cell. Accordingly, on Dec.
3, 1888, the recorder ordered the cree
tion Of q scafford in front of the Jail,
Of which notice and descriptive en-
craving appear in the Gentlenan's
Magazine for the same month, and on
the 10th the new hanging place was
inaugurated by the execution of ten
malefactors.

The siki,s.

Sir Lepel Griffin has place on re.
cord his conviction that the sikhs
form the backbone Of the Indian army,
for the following reasons: Ghurkas,
though at least equally valuable as in
fantry. are by no means so plentiful,
and are an Independent race. Pa,hins
are apt to become homesick and dis
like t, be stationed at any great dis
tance from their native land. Diff
Guilty is experienced in enlisting pure
Ralpnts in anynumber. But the Sikh
is always ready to enlist and to under
take duty across the "Black Water"
even should that duty be to fight an
epidemic in Hong Kong or to chase
Arab slave dealers in Central Africa,
u only he be well paid, flor the Sikh
has several Scottish sualpiesl. He is
equally good MS hors4 orr foot, at de-
Tense or in attack; he appreciates the
value OF discipline and is devoted to
his duty. - Gentleman's Magazine.

third member Of his family within ~
years who died tragicsl death. The
first had the misnomer Of sFortunate

dynamited the police station at the
Rue des Bons Enfants aud the Cafe
Terminus in 1894. Colonel Henry of
the general staff was summoned to
give evidence before the assizc court
of the Seine as 10 the character aud
morals Of his young kiusman. He ap-
peared for the prosecution. Perhaps
his disposition hardened the heart of

A Chinaman's Memory.

''The intellectual capacity of the
Chinese may rank with the best in
Western countries. Their own liter
airy studies, in which memory plays
the important part, prove the nation
to be capable of prodigious achieve
ments in that direction. 1t is stated
in Macaulay's Life that had ."Para-
disc Lost" been destroyed he could
have reproduced it from memory. But
even such power of memory as he
possessed is small as compared with
that of many Chinese, who can repeat
by heart all the thirteen classics; aud
it is as nothing to that of some Chi
nese, who, in addition to being able
to repeat the classics. can memorize a
large part of the general literature of
their country.
"A Chinese acquaintance Of miner
was able at the age of sixty-fve to re-
produce, verbatim, letters received
by him in his youth from some OF his
literary friends famous as styiists.
When pitted against European stu
dents in school or college the China
man is in no respect inferior to his
Western contemporaries, aud, whether
in mathematics and applied science,
or in metaphysics and speculative
thought, he is able to hold his own
against all competitors. "-"China in

Uses Sometimes Made OF Rings,

In ancient times q seal ring served
often as a letter Of introduction. aud
to 60 no further, Scripture offers more
than one example OF its being used in
this way. In earlier aud in later days
ring served to identify its owner or
his messenger, and not only poetry
and fiction but history itself has offered
many romantic instances of rings EN-.
ployed in this way. Some persons
have cast doubts on the story OF Queen
Elizabeth's waiting for the ring which
Essex was to send her il ever he found
himself in trouble and needed her.
But whether or not the story is true,
il Is fact that from the time OF
Essex's daughter, Lady Frances Dever.

IL will be- seen that the net pro-
cceds from the tomato crop was
Sl2O.I$, and from the corn crop
$45.3O, Il profit Of $75.l3 in cX-
cess of the corn crop.
The experiment was made for
Rothwell, Lovctt x Co, of Martins
burg, W. VA, to whom the tomato
crop was consigned by Mr.. Nell

the seed.
Contracts were made with Il number
of farmers to cultivate tomatoes for
the above firm, but Mr.. Zug was the
only one to keepan itemizedaccount.
The Opinion learns that satisfactory
results were obtained in many in
stances, the exception being on slate
land where the drouth affected the
crops. Tomatoes require Il good
soil that will retain moisture.
The experiment of Mr.. Zug was
a pronounced success and will no

Three ycarS ago he raised 400
bushels ot wheat from - acres.
His clover ON the same ground hav-
ing a luXuriaut growth, it yielded
HIM crop ot 80 tons OF hav after
harvest OF the same year. The fol-
lowing year he moved the - acres
again, ami got hay enough tor eight
horses, all his cattle, and had four
tons OF hay to ,cll, and harvested
90 bushels OF cloverseci the same
summer for the 23 acres. This
year his crop OF corn from the same
ground averaged ll5 bushels to the
acre.
Frank Bowcrsox is Il good farmer,
iovial fellow from whom Won r,r

In the years away back when Frank |
tarmed in Penn township, he had
