We firmly established the gold standard
which was then menaced with destruction.
Confidence returned to business and with
confidence an uneXampled prosperity. For
deficient revenues supplemented by i'm
provident issues of bonds we gave the
country an income which produced a
large surplus and which enabled us only
four years after the Spanish war had
closed to remove over one hundred mil
lions of annual war taxes, reduce the pub
lie debt and lower the interest charges
Of the government.
The public credit, which had been so
lowered that in time of peace a Demo-
cratic administration made large loans at
eXtraVagant rates of interest in order to
pay current expenditures, rose under Re
publican administration to its highest
point and enabled us to borrow at 2 per
cent even in time of war.
We refused to falter longer with the
miSeries of Cuba. We fought a quick and
victorious war with Spain. We set Cuba
free, governed the island for three years,
and then gave it to the Cuban people with
order restored, with ample revenues, with
education and public health established,
free from debt and connected with the
United States by wise provisions for our
mutual interests.
We have organized the government of
Porto Rico and its people now enjoy
peace, freedom, order and prosperity.

protective tariff unconstitutional or
whether it demands tariff reform or tariff
revision, it's real object is always the de-

The Birch.

Old writer's in mentioning birch trees
seldom failed to say solemnly that they
were useful to grow branches with
which to give boys thrashings. Turner
regards the supply of flexible, pendent
branches" for purposes of punishment
as the chief merit of the tree. Coles
also based his estimate of the birch
chiefly on its use in the supply of rods
as Instruments of punishment, for he
writes: The civil uses Whereunto the
birch serNeth are many, as for the pun
ishment Of children, both at home and
at school; for it hath an admirable in
tluence upon them to quiet them when
they are out of order, and therefore
some call it makepeace." In ancient
Rome the fasces of the lictOrS. with
which they cleared the way for magis-
trates. We're formed with rods of birch,
and their influence was sufficient to in
sure rapid dispersion of men assem-
bled where they would impede the
passage of the administrators of the
law. From that time to within COM
paratively recent period the birchen
rod was regarded as one of the most
important deterrents of juvenile de-
pravity.

Did any of you boys and girls ever
hear of boiling an egg without fire:
This sounds very funny, but it can
be done. Here is the way to do it:
With pin make hole at both ends
of raw egg and allow a small part
of the white to run out. Take the
purest alcohol and pour it through the
holes you have made. Close the two
openings with little wax and shake
the egg thoroughly so that the alcohol
will mix with the contents left in the
egg.
At the end Of four minutes break the

what looks for all the world like a
hard boiled egg, and yet on handling

about the mink: This animal was such
a great thief that at last all the ami

1t was decided to burn him. So they
caught the mink. built great fire and
threw him into it. AS the blaze went
up and they smelled the roasted flesh
they began to think he was punished
enough and would probably do better
in the future, SO they took him out Of
the fire. But the mink was already
burned black and has been black ever
since, and whenever he Is attacked or
excited he smells again like roasted
meat. The lesson did no good. how
