English House Gardens.

American children learn that Lon
don Is the center Of trade, with Q dense
population, and they grow up with the
idea that 1t is a mart perpetually over
hung with fog and smoke. To have 4
private residence in New York city is a
luxury possible only to the rich, and
none but multimillionaire could live
In house with garden.
When the American girl therefore
went TO have tea with some friends In
moderate circumstances she was aston.
ished to find them living In a large
house, with little garden In front and
spacious one in the rear. Tea was
served In the garden.
Her mind reverted TO a suburban
house at home that had about as much
land as this English one. The back
yard was used as a drying place for
clothes. The front yard was a smooth
ly clipped, flower bedded lawn kept for
show, so open TO the street that 1t was
Of no use to the family.

A lawyer who makes q speciality of
patent business, no matter Just where
his office Is located, was called to the
farther west In case involving a
mortgage on farm. The preliminary
hearing was before an old fashioned
justice Of the peace, who had no high
regard for the ways Of men from the
city. At some point in the case the
magistrate put In few remarks, and
the visiting lawyer colllded with him
The discussion grew warm, and at last
the magistrate, forgetting his dignity
and his position, became personal.

out.

Calendar advertising is getting
to be dead letter or a back num-
Der. Several years ago the patent
medicine companies flooded the
country with their advertising al
MANAGES with stereotype ad of the
drugstore handling their medi-
cines. The requests for free al
MANAGES from persons who never
became customers put check on
their circulation and the calendar
has seen its balmy days. Every
body knows by his own experience
that the calendar most appreciated
is the one giving all the space to
figures necessary to be there and
that printing houses have become
wealthy putting out calendars at
fabulously high prices because of
a pretty picture that is much
sought only by persons who are
not and never become customers.
1t is useless and extravagant ex-
pense that drains the profits from
your business without returns.
Some families get a calendar of
every spscies brought to town and
display the best while the children
cut out the pictures of others, or
they are consigned to the fire or
the trash pile.

Talk about the republican party
going pop you can get evidence of
it in the statement from the U. S.
treasury which shows only 900
millions of gold in circulation and
yet an increase of 500 millions of
money in circulation. Silver has
increased but the great increase is
in bank paper. 500 millions of
that circulation. The people do
not care SO the money is good and
they cannot see why it is better
for the banks to issue a note and
have Uncle Sam endorse it. You
take a bank bill and do not even
look what bank issued it. Your
faith is in your government. That
is why you take the bill. The
people do not care for gold. Do
not want it. 1t is not in evidence
anywhere. You do not get it in
business. You want to get ahead
by selling what you produce and
buying what you need. A few are
money mad. Like to hug the gold
or notes that draw interest. A
few old salts are that way. they
put their notes under their pillows
so they can hear them draw inter-
est. These old salts die and no
body misses them. The family
gives the old coon a big funeral
but secretly reioiccs because the
old fellow is out of the way. Most
of those owls pretend to be pious.
Nothing in it. They think they
are all right. We believe they
think so. Not a thing in it though.
Empty as a gourd. Just money
mad. Live like animals; die that
way and are not missed the next
day. Nice resolutions in the pa
pers and the children get the stuff
and have a good time. The old
man could not afford to take the
wife on a trip or educate his chill
dren. Had to save the money.
Children glad he is gone! They do
not say SO but you can read it in
their faces. No, the people are
money mad. They asked for
more money. The republican
party called the people fools and
chumps but at last gave them what
they demanded.-York Teller.

The Big Money Supply.

Republican newspapers are in
discreet when they rejoice over
the increase in the circulating med
ium. They forget that in the
campaign of 1896 they argued
against an increase in metallic
money. They said the country
had enough in circulation. They
denied that the quantity of money
in circulation had anything to do
with good times. They scoffed at
the quantitative theory of money.
Yet now, when the government
records show that the volume of
money in circulation is so per cent
greater than in 1896, they receive
the news with gladness.
Here are the government fig
ures: .
1905 per capita circulation. ..S31 40
1896 per capita circulation. -. Il 40
This increase in money of about
$40 per person has been made ev-
en- while the population has in
creased very rapidly, being now
about 100000 more than it was
in 1896.
It is this steady increase in the
supply of money which has made
