The Laws Effect on Silver.

The New York Mail and Express is
still harping away on the old and ex-
ploded argument that the value of sill
yer bullion in the dollar can be meas
ured by the value of silver bullion that
has no opportunity for coinage The
fallacy of the argument lies in the fact
that it overlooks the increased value of
silver created by an increased demand
for it. The free coinage law, by Civ
ing silver access to the mint, would
create a demand for it, and this fact,
recognized by all who think, is en-
tirely disregarded by most of the ad-
vocates of the gold standard 1t was
thought that the Sherman act of $780,
although it provided for the purchase
of silver instead of its free coinage,
would create demand for all the sur
plus silver, and under the stimulus of
this demand silver rose 81. 20 an ounce.
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk, in his
annual report, pointed with pride to
this increased value which the Sher-
man law had caused, and declared
that agricultural products rose with
silver. The Mail and Express, how
ever, does not require facts. Its
theory looks better when facts are
kept out of sight.

Treatment Of DiphtherIa.

Edward Stern, writing to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat from Philadel-
phia, says Noting the frightful
deaths in your city of diptheritic pa
tients who had been treated with anti
toxin, | write to advise your readers of
the fact that in Ladiesburg, Md, John
j. Liggett, regular medical practi-
tioner, has treated upward of $50 cases
of dlptheria in the past seven years
without losing single patient. The
remedy employed is extremely simple.
Flour of sulphur, 10 grains; powdered
willow charcoal, 36 grains sufficient
water to make an ounce; an equal
quantity of simple strip is added,
making 2 ounces of the mixture. This
remedy is given every half hour, re-
tanned in the mouth for time and
then swallowed. Before taking the
medicine an antiseptic gargle should
be used. The patients are kept in a
warm room.
1t is to be hoped that physicians will
write to DR.. Liggett, ascertain his
experience and use the treatment. NV
attention was called to his treatment
and upon writing to him / received
most courteous consideration. He
utterly disclaims credit for the mar
wells achieved in his own practice
frankly admitting that he has but mod
flied another physicians prescription,
| obtaining better results. Called into
consultation by other physicians, he
states that the treatment outlined has
proven efficaciOus in every case Prior
to the use of this prescription DR.. Lig.
| gett shared the concern shown by all
true physicians, when the sickness of
children is diagnosed as diptheria
Would it not be in order for your read
ers to call the attention of their family
physicians to this subJect?"

WHEN MARRIAGE
PROPOSALS SURPRISE.

Many man when he comes to pro-
pose is taken aback on finding out
that the girl has had no idea till that
moment or what he has supposed he
had made quite evident to her for
months. IT seems so extraordinary to
him that she has not fathomed his
meaning when he himself knew it so
well.v
But IL a man is wise he will prepare
the way before he comes to the actual
proposal with various declarations of
his intentions, which will serve two
purposes.
How can he make his meaning plain? :?
BY showing by his manner and conduct
that all his interest and his liking CEN
ter round the one particular girl he
has selected. and TO do this he must let
her see that her society is delightful TO
him. that her opinion is valuable, that
he wants to win her liking.
III he begins TO visit her house con-
stantly and shows that his visits are
meant for her, IL he tries to meet her in
society and devotes himself to her
there, she should gather his meaning
in some measure from these signs.
He may offer her little attentions OF
marked nature-give her flowers and
books and such small gifts as are al
iowable-and he may also say things
now and then which cannot fail to
make her understand that she is dear
TO him.
If she seems displeased or Indifferent.
he can drop his attentions. but If she
shows him that they please her he will.
indeed. be a person of desponding mind
If he does not hope.
