SOMETHING ABOUT RoNDs.

Under the gold stan lard, 2 per cent
ia just the same to the bOndholder rs
G per cent WINS twenty-five years ago,
before the ancient standard OF value
was tempered with. That is to say.
it will buy about rs much on the
average Of the necessaries OF life.
For the same reason the people who
produce those ne~cessaries and have to
sell them at half price. find it as diff
cult to now pay 3 per cent interest Ms
they formerly did 6 per cent. Nay.
more, for i'll many cases The fall Of
prices has entirely destroyed their
profits and left them unable to paw
anything. The second is that besides
beng exempt from taxes. the bonds
N be used ms n basis for the issu-
m OF bank notes, which notes can
also be loaned and bring the lender
anywhere from g Ia II per cent in
terest.
Tho talk about -poor people" rush
ing for bonds is oil bosh. Those who
are attempting to justify the bond
issue by pointing to the large num-
her OF small bids Of $500 or less as
sumo that every person who takes Il
small bond is necessarily Il person of
small means. That is absurd. There
is nothing to prevent n man worth n
million dollars from buying "a 800
bond. There If nothing to prevent
him from getting numerous friends to
buy bonds for him. That a very con-
siderable number Of small bids recent
ly made have been put i'll by wealthy
men can admit OF no reasonable doubt.
AS stated in another article. it ia GER
tain that no matter who buys them in
the first instance the banks will ulti-
mately W nearly all Of them. Every
person. not densely Ignorant, must
know that it is not the poor peopIe
who are constantly demanding bond
ssuss.' Who ever heard OF an agri-
cultural convention or a labor organi-
cation asking for nm issue OF interest
bearing bonds? 1t is the great bank.
ers and financiers who have special
interests to subserve, with n few
special pleaders and now and then a
small fry" chap who thinks TINT it
makes him look big to echo the cries
OF the great iinnnciers.- 1t is we'll
understood that the class OF men who
were most anyious to have $500 co.,
600 in bonds issued for the retire
ment of greeDbacks, were also the
londest shouters for war bonds" TO

they were necessary, but before there

But this is not MI. These bonds

planned,

1t has been reported, states The Micro.
scope, that the gray matter brain cells Of
perception have been dissected out Of the
finger tips Of the blind. Standing point
up beneath all the ridges so, plainly seen
with magnifying glass on the skin Of the
inside Of the finger ends are the so called
oorpusoles OF Paoini, which are arranged
In the exact semblance Of the keys Of a
piano, and are said by Meissner to crepi-
tate and give forth different sound in
every age Of each person. This Pacinian
oorpusole, which contains within its lining
membranes nerve trunk, an artery and
a vein, lines all the tactile surfaces of the
body, particularly the inner fingers and
thumb tips
A medical man recently assisted in an
autopsy on person blind from birth, and
he sought to discover by scalpel and mi
CrOscOpe the secret Of the extraordinarily
delicate touch the blind man had acquired
during life, Sections perhaps q sixteenth
Of an inch thick were carefully sliced off
the inner surfaces Of the index and middle
fingers Of the right hand Under a high
power these showed instead of a single
nerve trunk and artery and vein Of the
average man a most complex and delicate
ramiflcatiOn of nerve filaments, dainty and
minute nerve twigs in immense number
branching from the main stem. Through
constant use the finger tips Of the blind
acquire this unusual development, with
more and more perfect performance Of

HARD FIGHTERS.
Sickle backs VIII Attack Anything and
Hold out to the Last Ditch.

hOlu Out TO bhe Last D1tCh.
The stickleback is the most combatiyo
FISH, according to The American Angler.
1.-THE raisOn etre for a stickleback en-
counter, says the writer, sis generally, |
believe, that which actuates men to fight
over women When l have watched them
myself, | have not been able to learn
whether there has been lady fiddler
present or not, or, If so, which one she
was. But whatever the motive may have
been, l have seen them fight with as much
desperation as would have been necessary
If 40 females had been the point Of issue
Not only win they fight one another, but
they win even go out of their way to at.
tack anything which may appear to them
offensive, and If walking stick be put
into the water near fight the two com
batants will almost surely suspend per
sonal animosities for awhile and make for
the stick, butting IL with their horny noses
and trying to saw it in two by swimming
on their sides with their stickles rubbing
against the wood. Having conquered the
stick, the two turn against each other again.
"The victor stickleback assumes radi-
ant, translucent green his sides and gills
glow with scarlet and gold, while his white
under parts simmer like silver. 1t is then
at its finest. In an aquarium, however.
the sticklebaok loses his combativeness
and becomes a faded creature, though az
first 1t fights the glass case II alone, and
another If it has companions, till the mas
terry is obtained, when victor and conquer
ed swim to the corners and die or pine
away.
1.-THE stickleback shoots at its oppo.
nent strikes and is away as quickly as q
flash Then back it comes again. Their
spines get covered with blood from each
others body, the spines being used like
saw whenever the one fighter gets under
the other. Although the stickleback fights
at all seasons, the height Of the fighting
comes during The mating season"
