UNCLE SAM COULD DO IT.
rarity OF the Metals Could BE Re
established by the Unit
ed States.

In determining what powerful ef-
feet such nation as the United States
would have in establishing the parity
OF the metals, we must take into con.
sideration the pivotal position that it
occupies as to the monetary systems of
the world. The silver standard na-
tions, which make their demands upon
silver alone for currency, constitute
one-fourth of the nations of the world
in comercial Importance. The world
is then divided into nations, one-fourth
OF which are upon the silver standard,
and three-fourths of which are upon the
gold standard. The United States alone
constitutes in wealth, commerce and
power at least one-fourth of the world.
Let that power of the United States be
transferred from gold to silver, and you
immediately have the world divided into
equal parts-one-half the nations in
commercial Importance making their
demands upon gold-and thus we have
an equal demand upon equal metals,
which, according to the principle Of
supply and demand, must make an
equal price. Great as the government
is, there is something still greater, and
that is the people Of the United States.
We are the greatest producers and con-
sumers on the face of the globe. Our
rs, 1000, 900 Of people are equal to 70o,.
900, 600 Of the average Of the balance Of
the world: 1t is strange, but never
theless true, that many Americans do
not appreciate the great power and
wealth Of this country and it is remark
able that in order to prove our high po.
.sition among the nations we have to
quote from foreign authorities. Mr..
Mulhall an eminen tstatist stefan Of Eng
land, "a few years ago, in an article in the
North American Review, analyzed the
effective force and power of this coun-.
try and made the star Ting statement.
that in power and effective force the
United States was nearly equal to Great.
Britain, France and Germany com-;
bined. He said !:
5S .'If we take 4 survey 5off mankind ia
ancient or mod dern times as regards the
mechanical and int ellectuaI
forces of nations, find not thing "a.

A BIBULOUS MEMORY.
Young Man Who Reforms, Unable to
Recall Name of Temperance
Drink Carries 1t Written,

The young man was superior Judge
of whisky. Not that he had superior
palate, but he had so much larger Cd
portunity for tasting different brands
than others. He drank early and late
all over the downtown district and
could call the names of whiskies and
mixed drinks all the way down the list.
His vocabulary of intoxicants was the
wonder of all corners.
This young man swore off, From no
apparent cause he ceased to call for any
of the score of brands he knew more
Intimately than he did the number of
his room, and took to the drinks of the
temperance advocate. It so happened
that one of his friends had had tenn
porary attack of the water habit. In
the days when he rebuked his friend
and scoffed at him, the youth with
bibulous vocabulary had noticed him
drink certain mineral water, which
amused him greatly. He used to laugh
and order whisky, and then scoff at his
friend. He scorned this temperance
drink even as "chaser.''
But when the wave of reform struck
him this drink was the only thing in
the temperance line he knew, except
lemonade. He was accustomed to or
der it, but there was the difficulty of
the name, which he could not remem-
Der long enough to convey some one
else's promptings to the barkeeper. He
ordered it in one place as ''that stuff
that Smith used tn drink" h11t w.ero
Smith was not known that did not suf-
fee. So he appealed to Smith, and that
obliging individual wrote the name on
a piece of paper. The young man may
be seen to-day walking about among
saloons from force of habit, and after
stammering awhile over what he is go
ing to take, pulling crumpled and
dirty piece of paper from his pocket
and tossing it to the barkeeper. Then
he says: "Give me some of that" =
His memory refuses to reform.-Chi.

Smelling a Railway

= DoIyou know that railway track has
an odor? The fact was learned from a
blind man who was walking with a
friend amid strange surroundings in
Westchester county recently. ''Is a
train coming ?" he asked. why do you
ask?' his friend inquired, for, though
there was a railway track a few hun
dred feet ahead of them there was not
the slightest sound to indicate its pres.
,ence. II smell the rails . he answered.
He did smell them, and, though his
fIiend's nose was not nearly so sensi-
tive, he could, with his head within an
inch Of the rails, detect an odor like
that from slightly heated iron filings.

PROSPERITY DISCOVERED.
Found to He Not a Wave, But ia

Streaks.

The perplexing mystery about the
trend of prosperity in the east has
been explained. In common with the
major part of the American people, we
have earnestly endeavored to determine
the course of. the 'wave'' alleged to
be sweeping over the eastern states.
The agricultural laborers of the south
emphatically declare that they have
seen nothing of it, Canada reports that

ty of af1idavits can. be had as evi-
5dence that no indication of it has APP
Speared on the Pacific slope. From dl-
vers and sundry points in the east, how
ever, the news constantly comes that
people who cannot swim are obliged to
climb upon the high seas in order to
avoid being overwhelmed.

"a great deal of misreporting about the
manifestat of present prosperity.

IN exhibiting a Hamburg bridge scene
IN Boston recently one of the persons who
was shown to cross the bridge was reoog-
nlzed as one for whom detectives had been

which settled a discussion over the places

Exciting and amusing magical moving
pictures are being exhibited by clever Pa

resorted to in taking the pictures, almost
any result may be produced on the screen

Of living creatures appear and disappear,
apparently behead and shoot one another

dlately restore them to life again, or
make them appear in two place at once
To get these natural effects, dummy fig

represent, are used momentarily when the

New Possibilities of the Invention.
An expert, who is doing perhaps as much
as any one man In improving and develop
ing the biograph, is constantly finding re-
markable new applications for the ma
chine. He believes that 1t will furnish the
best means of identifying criminals. An
mated pictures for the Rogues Gallery
may be made of criminals while walking
or talking, from an adjoining room with
out their knowledge, showing their real
characteristics. 1t is thought that a per-
sons general actions are remembered bet
ter than simply ones features and the
pictures so taken would be placed In the
small microscopic cabinets in which pic
lures are observed by turning a handle.
In fact, this will soon be the popular way
to have your pictures taken. A large pub
lie gallery will shortly open in one of the
worlds greatest hotels where people can
have moging pictures taken of themselves
in characteristic actions, which will be
placed into the small mutoscoplc cabinets.
such as are used for home amusement
When these cabinets have become house
hold articles this expert sees a new field
for them, in that they will enable people
to witness the popular events of the day.
Sets of pictures showing the exciting
scenes the yacht race, athletic game,
court scenes or other event-will be made
in such quantities and so reasonably as to
be distributed daily like newspapers for
home use in the cabinets; thus we may see
the days notable occurrences as well as
reading the reports
