Vulnerable Philosophy.

The Cumberland Times, addressing its
readers, gives this dangerous advice !:
When you hear an advocate of contracting
the cash of the country in order to expand the
supply of watered bank notes, talking of the
'intrinsic value of gold" tell him that value
is the relation between commodities and ask
him to explain how relation can be lntrln-
sic. This will enable him to show how much
he knows of the English language.
Why should not "a relation be in
trinsic p What Is the matter with
the relationships of ownership, mar
riage and fatherhood ? Are they not
"intrinsic -
Is not "the relation" for instance,
between the Times and Col. John W.
Avirett 'instrinsic -
But gold is of intrinsic value be-
cause in world wide estimation it fur
nishes the otherwise missing link of
exchangeability between commodities
of "intrinsic value.''
No other money can or probably
ever will do that in cosmopolitan per-
lection.
Hence, all commodities, domestic
and foreign, are closer related to each
otner through gold than any other
species of cash. 1t is the consan-
guineous tie which makes akin the
whole world of marketable articles.
Now, then, if Times readers will drop
the proposed scheme of ascertaining
how much a gold-bug knows Of the
English language" and study instead
other aspects of the money problem
than free coinage the exercise may
eventually lead them to the saiutary
conclusion that the law and gospel of
money are not tied up in the "expan-
sion of supply either in unlimited
issues of paper or silver.
For, as with Tyndall's fragments
of nature-none can be studied alone.
Each part is related to every other
part"
And, sooner or later, it will be found
that commodities of intrinsic worth
cannot be obtained except with money
that is also intrinsically valuable.

FROM CONVICT TO GUARD.
Prisoner Who Made Himself Useful

Prisoner Who Made Himself Useful
Employed by His JaiIers.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal:
Henry Berner, who spent over twenty
years behind prison walls for a murder
of which he always declared his inno-
cence, is now wearing the uniform of
a guard at the institution in Jefferson
vile, Ind, where he so long Ore the
garb of a convict. Berner was paroled
by the board OF managers of the re-
formatory the first week in February,
but he failed to obtain employment as
required by the new parole law until
last Wednesday, when it was an
nounced that he would go to his moth
er at Cumminsville, O., a suburb of Gin
c%innati, and there reside, having COM
piled with that important requirement.
During his long confinement Berner
became almost indispensable to the in
stitution, and after his departure his
value became still more apparent. Su-
| perintendent Hert and the board of
managers determined to recall him and
place him in charge of the engine
rooms. This was done, and he has been
quietly at his duties since Monday,
when he returned from Cumminsville.
Berner's alleged offense was the muir
der of his employer, a barber named
Barlein, at Vincennes. After Berner's
conviction his betrothed married him
in Jail, and she was loyal to him dur
ing his confinement. She moved to
J~effersonville SO as to be heal him, and
met him at the reformatory door when
he stepped out a free man.

Quest of the Elusive Gems Surrounded
by Romantic Traditions.
The history of pearl seeking has
about it SO much of the glamour of

difficulties and risks of the quest are
well-nigh forgotten. Men love a pur-
suit that entails much danger and much
knowledge of men and elements. Long
before the Roman conquest men we're

covered rivers in search OF the elusive
gems, and one of the prime reasons

An Incident of the Irish Rebellion of
i7ss.
In Macmilla MS Magazine. Mr.. G. Lit
ton Faulkner tells the story Of the
French Invasion Of Ireland" Here is
one terrible incident of a terrible time:
One pathetic picture remains of this
last and terrible chapter in the abor-
tive Instruction in Mayo in the record
of the fate of one of the widest and
poorest of the poor and wild villages
OF the Laggan. Here, where Down
patrick Head stands but against the
ocean, is a striking natural curiosity
called the Poolnashanthana. a chasr
nearly half a mile in length, which
cuts clean through the headland, and
from the top of which the clear green
water can be seen 80 feet below. Near
the bottom of the chasm and along it's
whole length runs a ledge of rock, bare
when the tide is out. but covered by
many feet of water when 1t rises. The
p%easantry, returned from the rebellion,
were busy one October day endeavor-
ing to ave the remnant of their ne
elected harvest. when suddenly the
alarm was spread that the troops from
Kfllala were at hand. Well knowing
what they had to expect from the ter
rible Fraser Fencibles. the rebel har-
v%esters, surprised and unable to es-
cape to the mountains, made for the
adjacent cliffs, whose rough faces they
were used to climbing, and with whose
v they were familiar. 1t was with
many of them a constant diversion to
descend to the ledge of rock at the
Poolnashanthana in pursuit of seals
or seabirds' nests, to which they could
gain access by means of a rope let
down from the top of the cliff. It
CHANGED that at the moment Of the

A FAMILYa FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

To heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son. we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and development.
If each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Pecu1iarities
of feature, excentricities of speech ana
manner birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. "A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair Is hereditary in our family.
AS long as l can recol1ect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs of turning.
I resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using it only a few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. ! still
