Some Don'ts.

Moundsville Herald.
Don't try to put all the blame on
some one else in order to get your
self out of difficulty. Adam and
Eve and the Devil got one another
into an eternal muss in that way.
Don't let out too many secrets.
You will never get them back again
in as good condition as they we're
at first. They will change hands
quite frequently at your expense.
Don't make very many promises
and fulfil those that you make and
you will hardly ever be accused of
lying.
Don't talk very much about your
personal enemies. Let them alone,
say nothing about them and by and
by they will either die, go away
somewhere or go somewhere and
die and the public will never know
but what you were good friends,
Don't be too stiff to take notice
of your friends nor too friendly
with every gas bag you meet. De-
pertinent goes long way in this
world.
Don't be "bore" on your neigh
boris patience; better come a little
oftener and not stay quite SO long.
If your time is not worth anything
probably your neighbours time is
worth a great deal

Their directions and so on until at
least four different points or places
have been searched, when the re-

presents were distributed in this
way, much to the delight of the
guests The beautiful rooms were
richly decorated with Chinese
bric-a- brac, and the lawns with the
sime kind of lanterns and large
canopy in the form of huge UNI
brella, which was the wonder and
admiration of the smaller guests.
One delightful round of pleasure
followed another, not the least of
which was tripping the light fam

with the beautiful music of the
orchestra trained for the occasion.
AT the proper hour delicate and
delicious refreshments were served,
the tables being trimmed and deco
rated in Japanese and Chinese,
the colored wax lights giving a
soft and decided effect, while over
the center of the room large and
beautiful artificial bell was sus-
pended, in which was secreted a
musical gong that pealed forth at
various times lovely chimes.
The want of space forbids our
further comments, but the party
was one of the prettiest ever given
in our city and those who attended,
about fifty in number, will remem-
Der it as one of the pleasant even

The worlds supply of gold and
silver is nearly the samein amount.
To strike down either silver or
gold as money means to reduce the
volume one-half, whore silver and
gold are the only legal tenders.
Where paper money is legal ten
der and equal in volume to gold and
silver, then it means to lessen prices
one-third. Under normal condi-
tions this always follows.
( If country had only $1,000 in
gold, 81, 900 in silver and 81, 900 in
paper, and gold was made the only
legal tender money, it would be i'm
possible to redeem both the paper
and silver, except by making 81 900
in silver and the $1,000 in paper
have only 80 cents of their face
value as money.
No matter whether the volume
of money in a country or in the
world is thousand dollars, or n
hundred billion, the relations of
cause and effect are not changed.
If the Republican party makes
gold the only monetary standard,
then their scheme will make gold
for the rich and token money for
the producer. They will finally
make silver and paper money have
only so cents of value to 100 in

Plttsbnrg POST,
The Washington "Post," which
generally speaks for the Mckinley
administration, gives detailed ac-
count of the office-holding inAu-
enoe and the spoil brigades that
are to be launched into Ohio poll
tics this year. One of the reasons
that induced Mckinley to issue
his order transferring 10000 Offices
from the merit list to the spoils
list was undoubtedly to help him.
self and his party in Ohio this
year. The post" after accounting
the way Attorney General Griggs
is letting down the bars by recent
order pulverizing civil service
rules, says:
The exigencies in Ohio just,now
make il absolutely necessary that
those who have already partaken of
plums of office shall show their
gratitude in practical ashton. All
laws and regulations bearing upon
the participation of Federal Office
holders in political campaigns are
to be construed with the utmost
liberality. This is said to be es-
pecially true of the postoffice de-
partment, where postmastere, in
spectors and all other officials are
to be allowed the largest possible
latitude for participation in the
campaign,
Arrangements are making to turn
into the Ohio pasture the Ohio
office-holding brigade, and it is
bigger than the army in the Phil
ippines, better paid, and of course
swears by Mckinley, which the
Philippine army doesn't by long

Newton Graham found the lower
part of human jaw in the gravel
pit of the o. r. r., near Willow
IGrove recently, the largest we ever
saw. It measured five inches in
width and has full half.set, six
teen teeth, in almost perfect condi-
ton. No other bones were found
near or about it. 1t was exhumed
at depth of nine feet below the
surface and half mile from the
river. The probabilities are it has
been carried there by the river
when that part of the bottoms
formed the river bed. Some are of
opinion it was carried there during
the glacial period, but we think it
in too good a state of preservation
for that. Mr.. Allen, at Hartford
City, has the specimen in his rare
collection.
