When we smile at the excessive con-
servatism of the English in refusing to
adopt decimal system Of money, and
sticking to their inconvenient reckon
ing in pounds, shillings and pence, are
we sure that we are not throwing
stones through our own glass house?
How many ounces are there in a
pound? Twelve of one kind in one sort
of a pound, sixteen of another kind in
another sort. Three feet to yard; five
and half yards to a rod. Thirty-two
quarts in a bushel. An acre cannot be
made into perfect square, but is
piece of ground ten by sixteen rods,
making forty-three thousand, five hun
dred and sixty square feet. A cubic
yard contains nine cubic feet. These il
Illustrations show what a waste of time
and energy there is in converting our
own weights and measures from one
unit to another. 1t is all needless
waste, as we know from the ease with
which we deal with our money unit.
Our readers will perhaps be tired of be-
ing told that in all the civilized world,
are the only countries which do not use
the metric system for all purposes. If
we are asked why we do not use it we
cannot reply that our method is better.
We can give no better excuse than that
we are too conservative, that the
change is too much bcther," that we
are too lazy to conform to system
which is as far superior to that we en-
ploy as the dollars and cents of our
money are more convenient than the
British pounds, shillings and pence. 1t
would not be bad idea for the young
people of the land to organize them
selves into a metric league, to urge on
the change which must come sooner or
later Perhaps the present generation
of statesmen is too "old-fogyish" to
bring about the reform. Let the school
boys and schoolgirls familiarize them
selves with the metric system, employ
it in their games and make their opin-
ion of it known by monster petitions to
the powers that be.

The civil war came to an end in
April, 1865, but the national debt in
creased more than two hundred million
dollars before the end of August, when

the most extensive and all-embracing
tax system the world has ever known.
The war with Spain has been much less
costly, but it is conservative estimate
that less than one-half the total ex-
pense was incurred before the terms of
peace We're offered to Spain. If that be
so, the war cost, directly, two hundred
millions. Indirectly, the larger army
needed to occupy new possessions will
cause large permanent charge on the
revenue, and we may assume that the
war taxes have come to stay.

From advance sheets of consular re-
ports from France, Italy and Syria as to
the extent to which nuts are used as
food, some interesting facts can be
cleaned. In France chestnuts largely
take the place that Indian corn Occu-
pies as a cheap food in this country.
Especially is this true in the central
districts of France, where large planta-
lions of chestnut trees supply cheap
and nutritious food for the peasantry
who often make two meals day upon
chestnuts. These nuts are eaten boiled
roasted, steamed and in a variety Of
ways constitute daily article Of food.
In Italy the slopes of Aetna are esti-
mated to produce annually eighty to a
hundred tons of chestnuts, though in
ferior in quality to the fine, large nuts
of Calabria. Here, as in France, chest
nuts during the fall and winter season
furnish a considerable part Of the food
of the poorer classes and are cooked in
a variety of ways. Ground they are
made into kind Of cake by the peas
ants of the Apennines, but the result,
atleast to American taste, is not encour-
aging. Walnuts are also grown all over
France as an article Of food, for the
purpose of making oil, and to adulterate
butter. The peasants eat them with
bread rubbed with garlic and they are
considered to be an excellent substitute
for meat. Both in France and in Italy
almonds are grown largely, though not
uSo6 for food as extensively as chest
nuts and walnuts. In Italy there are
extensive almond orchards. Filberts,
OF hazel nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, ETC.,
are all eaten more or less in all these
countries, as they are in the United
States, not as main food supply, but
as relishes and desserts. The common
and cheap peanuts of the United States
are not available in Europe and prices
are so high as to make them luxury.

To the Editor: The time is rapidly
approaching when the Democratic con-
yention will assemble in the city of Raj

candidate to represent the fourth dis
trict in the next Congress; and perhaps
never before in the history of the dis
trict did so grave, important and re-
sponsible duty devolye upon the Demo
cratic party in this district 1t is all
important that the convention nominate
a man who has been a close and intel
ligent student of the issues claiming the
consideration of the people. What the
convention should do is to name a man
whose ability and scholarship preemi-
nently fit him for Congressional honors-
who on account of his conservative
course, at once is acceptable Il
all men of all parties, who sincerely de-
sire reform in our government. No man
in the district more fully possesses
these qualifications than does w. j.
Peele of Wake. Indeed. Mr. Peele is
in advance Of the party in the policy of
financial reform, having written, and
written rably, in favor Of financial re-
form of the government years before

with their best girls, things have
come to pretty pass, and it is about
time to stop going; but such is the
case at the Methodist church. One
of the deacons who led the meeting
Sunday evening said that gentlemen
should not come to church with lad
les, that the men should sit on one
side of the houses and the women on
the other. Then another deacon got
up and made a speech, and after he
had finished talking seventeen men
and women left the church. They
will go to the Congregational church
hereafter, where they will be welcome,
and where the men went have to sit
ON one side of the house and the wo-
men on the other"
