'sEx- President Cleveland writes that he
can find no evidence to support the claim
that Jackson Democracy sanctions the
degradation of the peoples currency
And so Mr.. Cleveland differs from Mr..
Bryan, who contends that both Jackson
and Jefferson were in reality Populists. )"
Thus discourses one of Cecil county's
journals which Processes to expound the
doctrines of political economy according
to st. Hanna. Where any connection
between Cleveland and Bryan is made is
impossible to see. Of course Cleveland
could not find in Jackson Democracy"
anything that sanctioned the degradation
of the peoples money because such never
existed. Had Cleveland examined C2eve-
lands administration he would have
found four years war on the people
currency"
Jefferson aud Jackson were. the greatest
champions of the peoples currency"
this nation ever produced. They were
the deadly enemies of bank currency.
Jefferson declared that banks ofissue were
more dangerous than standing armies,
and that the government should issue all
: money. Jackson's greetest battle was
his battle against the United States Bank.
He was as strong an advocate for the
government issuing all money-coin and
paper-as Jefferson, and Bryan is as great
champion for the peoples money, which
is money issued by the government, as
either Jefferson or Jackson, and is strongly
opposed to banks issuing currency. As
far as the money question is concerned
Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan aud the Peoples
party occupy the same ground without
differing the dot of an or the cross of t..

| The first was that he had made him
self necessary to her comfort, and the
execution of her disinterested public
services; the second, that he knew
of no other way in which he could
make his living.
He came down to the morning-room
one day after a nearly sleepless night
to find her looking more beautiful than
ever before, A voluminous morning
robe of grass green silk swept about
her, bringing out the freshness of her
kindly face. In her wreaths of brown
hair were white carnations. A chain
of heavy silver links belted in her
draperies. Something unusually tender
animated her face. Her eyes seemed
almost humid as she lifted them when
she made her morning salutation. He
was pale and trembling, and it seemed
to him for a moment that he should
be obliged to excuse himself till he had
gained more self-control, but she mo-
toned him to q seat and took up her
note book.
Kindly take this dictation from me,

pencil mechanically-at her request he

Chess and War.

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt what
ever that Its birthplace was in India
and that 1t is an offspring of game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
In Oriental literature as In use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia,
and then into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took 1t into Spain and the
rest Of western Europe. The game was
In all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art Of war.
The Arab legend upon this point Is
that it was devised for the instruction
of young despot by his father, a
learned Brahmin, to teach him that a
king, Notwithstanding his power, was
dependent for his safety upon his sub
jects. The Greek historians credit the
invention of the game to Palainedes.
who, they claim, devised 1t to beguile
the tedium of the siege Of Troy during
the Trojan war.-Atlanta (Ga.) Mail

From the London Graphic: Science
is not as rule upon the side OF the
lazy man. On one point, however
that of the advantages and disadvan-
tages of late or early rising-it has
come forward to vindicate him. The
voice of the sluggard-"you have
walked me too soon, l must slumber
again"-is also the voice of the British
Medical Journal, which takes the OPP
portunity of again attacking the old
theory that "early to bed, and early
to rise makes man healthy" what
ever 1t may do for his understanding
or his pocket. Medical science today
declares that If a man Is healthy he
does not for choice get up early, the
desire to rise with the lark being the
result of 1.-The hardening of the arteries
and the less ready action of the vase
motor system" 1t is disease of old
men, and apparently also of worn out
nations, for China is quoted as shock
ing example of the people who show
their hardened arteries and sluggish
vasomotor systems by a vicious habit
of early rising. The Rennes court
martial, too, began its sittings at $50
in the morning. Every lazy person
will no doubt take these warnings to
heart, and show by example the pre-
cept how necessary is an unfiinching
and even stern cultivation of habits
of decently late rising if England Is
still to lead the van of progress.

How to Save Leaking Ships.

From the American Machinist: On
the occasion of ship springing a leak
her pumps are set to work to get the
water out as fast as it comes in. In
stead of this 1t is suggested that air
pumps be used to force air into the
leaky compartment, and thus force the
water back through the hole where II
entered. There is, it is remarked, a
means of expelling water from the
filed compartments so obvious as to
render it a matter of wonder that en-
cheering skill has not put forward the
plan, simply to close the matches of
the flooded compartments and drive
the water out by forcing the air in,
nor would it make the slightest differ
ence how large the holes might be in
the bottom, as the water would be ex-
PEELED and kept out on the same prin-
ciple as the old-fashioned diving-bell.

where his poverty and position placed
him at a disadvantage. At first he
fumed and went to his room after his
days work hot and angry. Not that
he had anything to complain OF In the
department of the beautiful chatelaine.
She was courtesy itself, but he could
not claim that she treated him with
exceptional kindness, for the truth
was that she was kind to the whole
world. Not letter reached Edith

verses, hoping to secure her for pat

privilege of displaying her voice for
the benefit of the lady, she heard them
all, If her time permitted. The greater
part of her day was spent in attending
to charitable and benevolent matters;
society she patronized capriciously and
haughtily. Her library was her happy
retreat, and here only her intimates
were admitted. 1t was in this room
that her chosen friends came at
of each afternoon for a little time Of
true sociability and rest around Miss
Vaille's fragrant samovar. And In
these peaceful pleasures Moore was al
was invited to participate. Though
the conversation on these occasions
was nearly always light-hearted, 1t
was never trivial; at times 1t was
learned at other times grave. But 1t
was always Edith Vaille who domin-
ated in tit was she who introduced
the new book or the new musical COM
position for discussion. 1t was she
who inspired her guests to their best,
whether in conversation or in playing
upon the piano or violin.
Such strong friendships did Howard
Moore form in this familiar room and
in such high esteem was he held that
he forgot all about his foolish vanities
and chagrins. Moreover. he became
absorbed, too, In the charities Of the
chtelaine. The struggles Of which he
learned, the heroic bravery Of the poor,
the pains and disappointment Of gen.
ius, the frightful suffering of those
whom society traapled under foot
made him forget all about himself In

: abort iIme he realized that the small

n short time he realized that the small
knowledge he had acquired at the
schools was totally inadequate to per-
NIT him to solve the least OF life
problems. His egotism died away as
frost melts before the sun. His atti-
tude of mind became finely humble,
and he learned from his beautiful pat
ron the lesson which her whole life
taught, that in service is the only sat
isfactory living.
But along with the happiness that
arose from true knowledge like this
was a terrible sorrow. He discovered,
to his unqualified dismay, that he loved
Edith Vaille. 1t was no whimsical In
fatuation, no light, adoring admira-
ton that could be put aside for other
thoughts. He realized that he was
destined to worship this woman to the
last day of his life. That his love was
absurd, impertinent, impossible, he
did not doubt. There was not a grain
of hope in his passion. He resigned
himself to his misfortune and got
what comfort he could from the refec-
ton that 1t was noble love and for
woman of Incompatible qualities.
He was quite sure that his manner
betrayed nothing-he would never per-
NIT himself even to be distant or con-
venNonal in his demeanor. He aimed
to keep the cordial and respectful atti-
tude of a trusted assistant and friend.

perfumed garments brushed him In

the flowers that fell from her corsage;
If, when she came to dinner, glowing
in her laces and jewels, his eyes be-
trayed an uncomfortable admiration,
he prayed that she did not see 1t.
But as time went on his pain became
almost unsupportable. His nights were
nearly sleepless. He had to force the
food over his lips. There were hall
insane moments when he thought he
should fall at her feet AID confess with
anguish his folly. He began to debate
the propriety Of leaving, but he was

A DICTATED LETTER.

When Howard Moore completed his
college course he expected to find the
world waiting impatiently to avail
itself of his services. Though he had
not prepared himself for anything in
particular, he felt capable OF doing
everything in general. He wondered
where he could go to be best appre-
ciated-where, in fact, his learning
and uncommon intellect would do the
most good.
He was inexpressibly hurt when he
found that no one noticed him at all.
The crowd jostled him on the street
contemptuously, there was no good fell
lowship abroad in the busy city SO far
as he could find, no one gave him any
dinners; he was not invited to join the
clubs, and most emphatically he was
not offered any occupation. He tried
to be patient with this colossal stu
pidity on the part of Chicago, but 1t
was difficult. He then even conde-
scended to look for work, but 1t was
not to be found. He was too sure OF
himself in a way too confident OF good
birth and the inherited convictions OF
a gentleman to care what he did-he
did not make those conscious distinc-
lions which a middle class fellow
would have made. But 1t did not seem
as If there was anything that came
within his possibilities within the
length and breadth Of the city that
wanted doing.
However, by assiduously consulting
the paper he found at length an adver-
tisement for a private secretary. The
correspondence that followed led to his
being installed in luxurious mansion
as the secretary and factotum OF
certain distinguished lady.
To say that Howard Moore enjoyed
such situation would be incorrect. AS
a matter of fact, he would rather have
driven street car in happy independ-
ence than have been in place where
his qualities were appreciated, yet

Ola DIS tones Courtesy.

An incident which occurred at Pen
maenmawr, in the summer of 1890, is
told as beautiful example of Mr..
Gladstone's courtesy. We borrow it
from the London Chronicle. About
1900 feet up the mountain was small
farmstead at which resided woman
more than 10 years old, who brought
her weekly stock of provisions in a
large basket up the steep ascent from
Llanfairfechan village. One hot Sat
urday, soon after beginning the climb,
she sat down to rest. Mr.. Gladstone,
who was sojourning in the neighbor-
hood, was making the same climb,
when he saw her, and the two entered
into conversation. She chatted freely,
and detailed the contents of her basket,
whereupon Mr.. Gladstone lifted it, and
finding it heavy, offered to carry it for
her. The offer was accepted, and the
veteran statesman bore the basket to
the whitewashed cottage, near the
summit. A party of tourists, approach
ing from the Druids Circle pass, re-
spectfully saluted Mr.. Gladstone, who,
having set his load down at the old
womans door, strobe vigorously across
the mountain pass to Penmaenmawr.
did you know it was Mr.. Gladstone
who carried your basket?" inquired
one of the party. mo, indeed; l don't
know Mr.. Gladstone" replied the old

A novel courtship which has the fla

Gently in an Androscoggin town. An
old gentleman, who had been very de-
pendent upon his wife,a who seemed
hardly able to do anything without
her, was suddenly bereft of her by
death. The daughter was full of gen.
tie sympathy and took her father home
with her. Everything possible was
done for his comfort. When he was
at home from the store he was not left
alone a moment, for fear he would be
lonesome. Six months after his wifes
death he coolly announced that he was
going to marry Jane" in week. In
vain the daughter expostulated, only
gaining little longer time Then she
went to see Jane, distant neighbor,
who owned farm, to find out If it
was really SO. Receiving an answer in
the affirmative, she ventured to-
ask another question: when did my
