Reading Matter For the Duke.

There was an amusing incident IN
connection with the late Duke OF Edin'
burgh's Australian tour. he accepted
an Invitation to visit wealthy squat
ter. on whose estate excellent shooting
was to be had. The sQuatter was Q
self made man, entirely unincumbered
with book learning and absolutely In
nocent Of reading tastes. In making
preparations for the dukes visit It was
suddenly discovered that the furnish
ing of the library had been completely
overlooked. There was no time to be
lost, and so the squatter sat down and
dispatched the following telegram to
the leading Melbourne bookseller
Send one ton Of books Immediate
delivery"
The bookseller was staggered at tbs
receipt of such a wholesale and uncon
ventional order, but as the signature Of
the sender would be honored by any
Melbourne bank on check for six hg
ures he kept his staff working on tEt
fob until the small hours Of the morn
ing. and the ton Of miscellaneous liter
allure was happily shelved before th'
arrival Of the duke.-London Chronicle

think, as rule, in he county we feed too
much hay. / think oat straw is worth
more to the farmer 20 feed 20 young ST ock
than he can get for it. Do not think
much OF turnips to feed, but like beets
and potatoes. We have no silos in town
therefore know nothing about the value
OF silage. | have been feeding cows on
sweet corn this fall, and think it has been
a great benefit to them. Would like to
know II ensi!age corn would be more
profitable to raise for fail feed.

THE MEASURE OF VALUE.
Shall It be Changed Il Good Reasons
Why 1t Should Not Be.
From the n. Y. SUM

Money IL anything which serves by
common consent, and with or without
the help Of law, as a measure of the value
OF commodities aud a means for making
exchanges of them easy.
We measure the length of cloth by the
yard, and the weight Of sugar, -four, but
ter, ETC.. by the pound, saying that piece
of cloth is SO many yards long, and that
particular quantity Of sugar, butter or
-four weighs so many pounds. In like
manner, since these commodities have di-
ferent values, we express the value Of
them by saying that cloth is worth SO
many dollars and cents per yard, and
sugar, flour and butter SO many cents, or
hundredth part of dollar, per pound.
Dollars and cents are the common meas
ure OF value, as the yard and its fractions
are OF length, and pounds and ounces are
of weight.
To be a measure Of value, money must
itself possess value, just as a measure OF
length must itself have length to meas
ure length, and measure OF weight
must have weight to measure weight. II
a yardstick had no length, we could not
use it to measure cloth with, and II
pound had no weight, we could not
weigh anything with it. In the same
way, il a dollar had no value, a million
dollars would be worth no more than
one, and no one would accept million
of them in payment for his commodities
any more willingly than he would one.
The dollar which, with its fractions
called cents, is the measure of value in
this country, consisted at first both OF
371A grains OF pure silver and OF 24.75
grains Of pure gold. This made the sill

Spread Like Wildfre.

When things are "the best" they become
''the best selling. Abraham Hare, lead
ing druggist, Of Belleville, o. writes:
Electric Bitters are the best selling Bit
tiers / have handled in 20 years. You
know why? Most diseases begin in disor-
ders Of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels,
blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones
up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys
and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens
the nerves, hence cures multitudes OF mai
aides. 1t builds up the entire system. Puts
new life and vigor into any weak, slckiy,
rundown man or woman" Price 90 cents.

IN -

Things OF That KIND to an unknown ex-
tent. Above all, the $500, 900 600 Of
deposits IN savings banks due to 5.000,000
depositors would be reduced more than
one half, sweeping away the savings OF
years. What privations, suffering and
general misery would follow, Any one
can judge for himself.
The unlimited coinage OF the silver dol
lar would, therefore, benefit no one but
those who happened to owe money when
1t began, and even these, as soon as their
debts were paid, would be in the same
condition as the rest of the community.
Creditors and wage earners would, on the
other hand, be robbed of millions and
never get them back. While the change e,
too, from gold to silver was going on bus
mess would be in confusion, there
would be no end OF quarrels between
debtors and creditors, and we
might even have a faancial panic, worse
than any v hich The country has bereto
fore experienced.
