BInetallism.

There can be no true "bimetallism"
with free coinage of one metal and a
limited coinage of the other The
word "bimetallism, as used by none
tary writer's, means exactly the same
as the double standard" That is to
say, it means a money standard con-
sisting of two metals, used at GER
tain ratio to each other, both freely
coined and each full legal tender after
il is coined. In his testimony before
the royal commission of England,
given on the 4th OF March. 1887. II. II.
Gibbs. then director and ex-govern-
or of the bank of England, defined BIZ
metallism as follows:
l. An open mint. to which every
man may bring either gold or silver
to be coined.
2 fixed ratio which the gold and
silver coins are to bear to each other.
B. The enactment that the money
so coined shall be legal tender to any
amount At the option of the payer

Mis-. BUCHAS, the wife of Capt.
Frederick f. Buchan, of the Goth Kan
sas, died at Manila. Mrs. Buchan
was formerly Miss Lucinda Smith, OF
Lawrence, Kas., and one of the most
beautiful and popular women in the
Sunhower state. 1t will be. remem-
bered that the marriage was one of
the memorable events of camp life on
the Presidio in San Francisco last
June. Shortly after the marriage
Capt. Buchan was assigned to accom-
pany the Oregon troops to Manila.
Mrs. Buchan pleaded for permission
to accompany her husband, but was
denied. Mrs. Buchan, however
sailed for Manila several days before
her husband, taking small passen-
ger vessel. the Doris. Mrs. Buchan
lived in a cottage on the outskirts of
Manila with the wives of several other
officers

Reed and Sfrout.

Thomas b. Reed served in the navy
during the civil war, and in 1865 he
returned to Portland TO practice law.
As young lawyer he displayed the
same qualities of ability and aggres-
siveness which have been a conspicu-
Gus characteristic of his political life
One of the strongest men at the Port
land bar at the time was a. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial of a suit
it was Strout's habit to inquire of every
juror as to the state of his health and
impress each with the idea that the law
yer was SOLICITORS of that jurors per-
sonal welfare.
Reed and Strout were constantly an
tagonizing each other, though they
were very good friends. In nearly every
case of importance Strout and Reed
were on opposite sides.
1t was annoying, indeed, for the suave
Strout to hear Reed drawl out before
the opening of case:
'Well, your honor, Brother Strout
having finished his morning task of
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, hope, proceed with the business
of the court. "-Philadelphia Saturday

a Bad Place For Fat Men.

Among the ancient Spartans every

curing this the boys and men We're by
law kept in a continual state of train

public tables, where only n certain
quantity was supplied for each man.
The magistrates interfered in absurdly
small matters. They regulated the de-
gree of fairness to which it was lawful
for any citizen to extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-

Aelian, in his history, relates that
Nauclis, son of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the

Hardly worth the Agony.

An artist of more than national fame
chose the most beautiful girl in his
town for a mate. Before they We're
married he said: my dear, you are al
most perfect You lack but two things
your mouth is little too small. and
you are little too thin / wish that
before we are married you would cor
rect those two and become absolute per-
lection" For six months the poor girl
wore brass fixture in her mouth to
stretch her jaw and ate fattening food
Then she was married To an intimate
friend she has since confessed that the
agony of that six months jaw stretch
ing was not worth all she since has en-
joyed as the wife of a distinguished
artist.-New York Commercial Adver-

A Famous Poison Mystery.

England had famous poison mystery
Squarter of century ago. Two MEM
ters of a great club in Manchester, both
men of position and keen politicians,
each received. apparently as a New
Years gift, small boxes containing
few cigars of the very highest quality
apparently. Both were taken fearfully
i'll after smoking, and one of them sub
sequently died.
The cigars were found to be loaded
with poison, and it was said that the
man who recovered only did so because
he used a cigar holder. The facts were
at first hushed up. because. as was said,
the suspected sender, whose motive was
revenge on account of a lady, was
man of wealth and power
But this subject was cleared, and the
mystery was deepened by the following
circumstances: a rich Manchester mer-
chant, travelling one day in a railway
car about the time of the incident re-
lated, got into conversation with a most
agreeably and highly cultivated stran-
ger, who finally offered his cigar case.
The Manchester man was found at
Leeds almost unconscious and the only
occupant of the carriage. He grasped in
one of his convulsed hands the cigar he
had been smoking and after analysis
showed it to be identical with the 9TH
ers. He recovered, but the stranger was
never discovered.
