this tendency. Regardless of the eth

the question of making a given rate

purchasing power of the dollar in

Since 1896 the fortunes of mining,

There is more money. 1t is cheaper.
And prices are higher. 1t has not

asked, and it's good effects will not be
permanent; but for the time being 1t
has been effectual and has vindicated
the populists' theory of money.

LOYAL TO LOST CAUSE.

The country school-teacher in the
south at the close of the civil war was

city, says the New York Sun. 1T is
little wonder that the sectional lines
disappeared so slowly when one remem-
bers some of the instructions given in
the backwoods schoohouses the first
year after the war
In one of the border states such in
structions as these were given by the
teacher orally, for there were no school
books for quite awhile after the war
Who was the first PRESIDENT If
the pupil answered George Washing
ton the teacher replied rather sadly:
Yes; he was the first president at the
time you speak of, but the first president
of the south was Jefferson Davis
Then he would ask: Who was the
greatest soldier in the world?' and he
would answer himself: Gen. Lee
When the class in geography was
called and the question was asked:
Name the greatest cities in the coun-
try the class was instructed to say:
New Orleans. Richmond and Charles
ton The longest river in the United
States was given as the Lower Missis-
sippi.' and the class was further instruct
ed that the capital of the country was
Richmond.
THE greatest product of the country
was, so the class was instructed. cotton,
and the teacher that knew always add
ed that sugar and New Orleans molasses

"The teacher in those DAYS set the
texts in the old copy books for his pu-
pills. All had some connection with

In all these instructions there was
never any reference to the north. No
harsh words were spoken of Lincoln or
Grant. or Sherman. or of any of the
great events in which they participated.

time some one had come along with q

FOE TO THE HUMAN RACE.
Alcohol Has Carried on Its DeviIish
Work Throughout the Past
Centuries.

ne use OF alcOnO!lc beverages is as
old as civilization. The decentralization
wrought by the beverage use of alcohol
in various drinks is beyond computa-
ton. Its physiological effects upon the
human body and the mind faculties are
a decreased tissue resistance resulting
from alcoholic Indigestion. 1t prevents
oxidation and causes other nutritive dis
turbances. Though taken into the sys-
tenn in small quantities. it coagulates the
pepsin and albumen of the food and de-
stroys the solvent powers OF the gastric
juice. 1t also decreases the motor and
the absorbing power of the stomach. 1t
profoundly affects all the tissues of the
body, and especially those which enter
into the structure of the nervous sys-
TEN.

take no alcohol live longer, and can
work harder, than those who do.
Alcoholic beverages produce disease
and incite to crime. One form of heart
disease is a result of alcoholism and
produces exhaustion and irritation.
Every vascular organ of the human body
suffers from alcoholic effects if the use
is continued. The constant use of alco-
holic beverages will finally overthrow
the most brilliant mind and all it's pow
ers, and arouse all the lower and violent
passions.
The unquestiOnable consequences OF
alcohol seen in hereditary law should
alarm the physiological student of to-
day. Statistical evidence is abundant
showing the blighting effects of alco-
holism in parents upon their children.
Let us consider Morel's table of alco-
holic homeopathic degeneration extend

During the last two years of the war,
when the draft was being enforced, the
provost marshal was not very pOpU-
lar person anywhere, but more partic-
ularly obnoxious in the border states
of Maryland and Kentucky, where many
of the people were in sympathy with the
south and had near relatives in the con-
federate army. One of these civil or
semi-military officers, in making up a
list OF men liable to draft. called at a
farmers door in Anne Arundel county.
Maryland and a young lady gave him
very prompt answers to the usual set
of questions. relates the American Trib-
une. Then came the last query: will
you make oath that you have given the
names of all males between 20 and As

The name was enrolled. The onicer

William Button was drawn as a con-
script. and, not reporting for muster,
a detail was sent to the farmers place
to arrest him. The young lady. on
learning their errand. escorted them

Would Bar Drinkers.

Press dispatches are telling of a
movement on the part of Findlay CO.,
manufacturers, which, if carried out to
its full purpose. will work a very radi-
cal reform. A plan is on foot for an
agreement among the manufacturers to
form an organization barring from en-
plOyment any and every man addicted
to the use of intoxicating liquors Manu-
facturers find themselves so annoyed
by drunken workmen that this step is
likely to be taken for mutual self-pro-
lection. In this they will but follow the
example of many large firms elsewhere,
and of the railroads, and an increasing
number of great business establish
ments.
1t is reported that the owners of
saloons in the neighborhood of these
manufacturing plants in Findlay are
greatly alarmed by the prospect Of a
much diminished trade.

First Gun at Fort Sumter.

A son OF the late Maj. Wade Hamp-

the Charleston News and Courier that it
was his father, who, as a lieutenant,
fired the first gun, a signal gun, at the
attack on Fort Sumter, Charleston har-
Dor, on the morning of April II, 1861.
He writes: AT Lieut. Gibbes' battery
the signal gun was aimed to burst a
shell high in the air; another gun was
carefully aimed at the fort and the
wires were laid ready to explode mine
near the old house in the way. AS near
ly as possible these things were done 81
