MCKINLEY ON SILVER.

In 1890, thirteen years after VIM
Mex inley had voted 10 congress fol
Independent free coinage at sixteen u
one He was anxious to have the vOt-
ers Of his district understand that he
had not changed during these thirteen
years. Writing to e. s. Perkins on
the 9th Of September, 1890, he said:
"You may remember as indicating
my position on this subject thaC ]
voted TO pass the silver bill In the
forty-ifth and forty sixth congresses
over the veto OF President Hayes .
That vote was given In February,
1878.
The bill which passed over the
presidents veto was the Bland
Allison act, providing for the coinage
of not To exceed four million
silver dollars month, and not
less than two millions Mr. Nc
Kinley, however, did better than
that He voted two months before
for the Bland act pure aud simple,
which provided for the unlimited
coinage OF gold and silver at the
mints at sixteen TO one, without con
sulting any other nation. 1t was not
Major McKinley's fault that the
senate hObbled IL with the Allison
amendment. Major Mckinley was
then one OF our free silver "lunatics,"
and here we find him, thirteen years
afterward, boasting OF his vote IN
favor Ct the silver law OF 1878, which
was the best that could be got out of
the senate.1
Major McKidley was at that time
fresh from his support of the Sher
man purchase act, which authorized
the purchase Of four millions OF
ounces of silver per month, and
positively commanded the coinage OF
the bullion so purchased To an amount
sufficient for the redemption Of the
coin certificates issued for its pur-
chase. The senate had that year
passed an Unlimited free coinage ac
by an overwhelming majority |
Speaker Reed had smothered IL 10 th, |
house, and Harrison and MCKINLEY |
had worked through a Republican |
caucus the Sherman purchase act |
The silver men were very indignant |
1T the tyrannical course OF Speaker |
Reed in not allowing the bill for free
coinage to come up for consideration.
IL would undoubtedly have passed 1t
would then have been vetoed by the
presidents; but IL would then have
been passed over his head by more
han two thirds of each house. 1t

Major Mckinley made the silver
speech from which we have above

discovered.
Until within the last eight years
pearls used to be literally 'cast to
swine" as the Chinese storekeepers,
who are present in every camp, used to
beg the oysters for their pigs to feed on.
Pearl oysters, II may be mentioned,
are UNBEATABLE by human beings, al
though pigs fatten readily on them.
This system prevailed for years, until
an observant celestial discovered that
pearls were frequently embedded in the
body of the mollusk. Consequently he
began TO boil and strain the oysters,
after previously allowing them to de-
cay. He grew rich beyond the dreams
of avarice.
Eventually his discovery leaked out,
and the "pogey pot" became an essen
tial, although evil-smelling, adjunct of
a pearling camp. The first pearl dis
covered in this manner was a prize

ssPOGEYn IN PEARL FISHING
The Oysters Turn Into n Fetid Fluid
by Straining Which Many
Gems Are Found.

Little is known of the life of the pearl
fishermen of northwestern Australia.
A large fleet is employed off Sharks bay
in "pearling," though very few Euro
peans are engaged in the actual fishing,
which is chiefly done by "niggers."
The white man usually works ashore
in the camp which consists of a row of
galvanized iron huts and store, gen
orally kept by CKinaman. These men
search the oysters for pearls.
When the fishers return their cargoes
of unopened shells are discharged into
shed, the floor of which is covered
with tarred canvas, known as the pit"
On the Monday morning the shore
hands assemble and open the oysters,
which are much larger than our own
natives" and examine the shells for
pearls.
If none is visible the oysters are
thrown into pals, and the shells aside
to dry in the sun. When shells are
found they are placed in glass bottles
filed with water, for few hours, and
are afterward taken out, dried, classi-
fed according TO color, size and shape
and packed In cotton wool for export.
The pals into which the Shiny mol
lusks are scraped are emptied in large
tub, which remain in the sun until the
stencil becomes almost unbearable and
the oysters resolved into green and
fetid fluid called spogey"

ABBAS H., THE KHEDIvE.
arch Whom England Does
Not Like.

Abbas III. seems bent upon making
himself impossible, and in the event OF
his deposition becoming necessary the
readiest substitute would appear to be
his younger brother, who from child
hood upward was always the brighter
and more amiable boy of the two. But
there is an alternative worth considera-
ton, and that is the restoration of the
old Mussul1nan succession vested in the
elder branch OF the family. This was
set aside in 1866 by Sultan Abdul Aziz,
who was bribed by Viceroy Ismail to
alter the succession to his direct line.
IT was then that he received from his
suzerain the Eigh-sounding Persian
title of khedive. By this arbitrary act
Prince Hahn, the only surviving son
of Mehemet Ali. was excluded from the
succession in favor of Ismail's son, Tew-
fix. Hahn, the most liberal and en-
hghtened member of the family, is
now dead, but his children remain.
The eldest son, Prince Said, who has
received careful European education.
would be persona grata to the Egyp-
tian people, both as the grandson of
Mehemet Ali and as representing a re-
turn to the Koranic law of succession.
The present khedive is the seventh
ruler of Egypt in the line of Mehemet
Ali, and the second Abbas. The name
is sinister one in the Egyptian dy-
asty. The first Abbas. who succeeded
Ibrahim in 1s49, had a brief reign but
long enough to make his memory ex-
ecrated. Cowardly and cruel, addicted
to the most repugnant form of vice,
he was assassinated by his own crea-
lures in 1854 at Abbasiyeh, in the pal
ace whose gaunt remains still line the
road.
His name became by-word in Egypt,
and the members of the vice regal fam
lily have always discreetly consigned
him to oblivion as much as possible.
He did not reside at the Cairo citadel
like his predecessors, Mehemet Ali and
Ibrahim, but built himself a rambling
palace in the heart of the town, con-
spicuous feature of which is lofty
tower, which he used for his hobby of
pigeon flying. Latterly he hid himself
in Abbasiyeh.-London Chronicle.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some May Eat with Impunity Certain
Foods Which Are Rank POisOns
to Others.

The constitutional differences
and peculiarities which exist
among individuals should always
be carefully watched and con-
sidered. One person can handle
poison ivy with impunity while
another is poisoned if only in the
vicinity Of the vine and without
contact. Some members of a
family residing in malarial dis
trlct will suffer regularly with
chills and fever, while other mem
bers will not be at all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous
to some persons. will not 80 act on
others. One person may eat all
kinds of green fruit and vegetables
with impunity, while another per-
son could do so only at the risk of
life. Certain kinds of fish are
actually poisonous to some people
and perfectly wholesome to others.
It is this peculiar condition of
the system which constitutes the
danger point in the individual case
and should be prudently observed
by each one for himself. In
tastinal derangements frequently
arise from and are aggravated By
certain kinds of food. Thus a
person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very
whiie bread since the extreme
wbiteness il often produced by the
usc Of alum with an inferior
article of -four, and as alum is
known to be poisonous in it's

GHOSTS IN GREENLAND.
A Yarn which Relates to skulls Sc
cured by Lieut.. Peary
for Chicago.

The following story of the supernat-
ural is told by member of Lieut..
Peary's Arctic expedition:
The Greenland section was partly
subsidized by several scientific socie-
ties on the understanding that skulls
and skeletons and botanical and geo.
logical specimens should be secured
for their various museums. Six Eskimo
skeletons were promised to the Chica-
go worlds fair authorities in return
for grant toward the Peary expedi-
ton. Eskimo skeletons are rare, espe-
cially of those types known as the
rArctic Highlanders," and as the Es-
hmos are a superstitious people our en-
deavors to obtain skulls and skeletons
by legitimate purchase failed utterly,
and we had to steal them.
When the Kite sailed from Godhaven
we had 13 fine skulls aboard, and one
of our hunks was converted into reg
ular graveyard, each specimen being
separately bagged. securely sealed and
the cabin carefully locked.
After the shipping of 13 skulls we en-
countered terrible weather. The crew
meanwhile had their suspicious as to
''uncanny" influences aboard, and one
morning at breakfast an officer told
strange yarn. He said he was on watch
during the night, when he noticed
kyak padded by an Eskimo alongside
the vessel. 1t was bad weather. and he
knew it must be ghostly kyak, for no
such craft could have been out so miles
from the land on such night. Added
no difficulty in keeping up with the
ship The Eskimo hailed the watch and
kept waving. and reckoning with mys-
terious gestures and a threatening tone
in his EXPLANATIONS. Suddenly he van
ished, to reappear alongside few min
utes later, hailing the ship with
mournful wall. The sky was lit up by
the vivid northern lights, so the officer
stated that he saw distinctly what sub
sequently took place.
Out of the hatchway came process
sion of six Eskimos walking noiseless-
ly along the poop deck. They passed
through the bulwark--not over it.
and'vanished The kyaker disappeared
at the same time. The scientific party
left the breakfast table and went to the
locked graveyard bunk. Six of the
skulls were missing from the bags.
The seals were unbroken and were APP
parently the same that-we had affixed.
The remaining bones and skulls, with
the chiefs skeleton, are now the prop
erty of the Academy of Natural Sciences
in Philadelphia. The six missing skulls
have never been heard of. Most of the
crew refused to go another voyage in
the Kite. which they declared was
haunted by "Huskies" in search of their
desecrated bones.
give you the story just as 1t oc-
Cured. We cannot explain it. If the
crew had conspired to steal the bones
to "lay" the Husky ghosts, why did !
they take only six skulls, and how did |
they manage not to disturb the seals |
The abstraction of the skulls made no
