M | J Free baths are advocated in St. Louis as a means of preventing the loss ot about forty boys who are annually drowned ia the Mississippi at that point. . The Detroit Free Press maintains tnat, "one trouble with the American farmer is that when the weather is dry he does not need better roads, and When the mud is hub deep there is no chance to build better ones." New Yorkers have formed a society, with branches in Philadelphia and other American cities, for the suppression of the "intolerable annoyance created by the frequent noisy clanging of inharmonious church bells." . ; The Te^|Q(.British elections, have. cost ? $12,000,000. Every shilling has to be accounted for in sworn statements. According to the Chicago Herald, corruption of voters has been rendored almost impossible by the stringency of the reformed elections legislation. It is estimated by a statistician in the American Farmer that th's country loses over $700,000,000 a year by adulterated food. This is more of a burden upon it than several of the great European ar mies are upon their countries. Inspectors in the Adirondack^ report that more deer die from starvation than from any othot cause.

With t?e cost of freight doducted it is said that this Sumatra oil promises to bo :i formidable competitor with the American products iu'Japan, China and tho far eastern markets generally. London Public Opinion notes that the centenary of the discovery of ooal gas has just passed. One hundred years ago William Murdoch, a Cornish miner, studying the coal which he handled daily, filled an iron kettle with it and set it on the fire, connecting an iron pipe with the nozzle; when the gas began to flow from the pipe ho applied a light, and tho first gas light sprang into existence. Wide as his useful invention has spread, aud great as the blossings that have resulted from it, how many peoplo ever heard the name of William Murdock? Some idea ot the growth of the country may bo gaiued incidentally from a study of the census bulletin on the operation of telephone companies. It appears that the total investment in enterprises of this kind inciessed from $14,JAJ in 1R?n !UI JAR in IRftO The number of subscriber* iu 1980 was 48,814 Aud in 1890 there were 227,357, while the number of conversation* over the wires in the latter year was 453,* 200,000. In 1880 the mileage of wire waa 31,305, in 1890 it hal incronsol to . 240,412 mik'3. There were 467,858 telephones aud transmitter! in use in 1990, or more than double the number in 1880.

Might Explain Memory. A maker of te3t plates named Web many years ago made for the Arm Medical Museum at Washington a spec men of miorjopcoplo writing on gliis: This writing consists of the words of th Lord's prayer and occupies a rectanguli spaoe metsurihg 1-244x1-444 of an incl The lines 01 tms writing are nuout i broad as those on the test plates, whic are 1- 60,000 of an inch apart. They ar therefore, about as wide as average hg] waves. Now, then, to get some idea the magnitude of minuteness of tl writing. There are in the Lord's Prayer 227 h tors, and if, as here, this number occ pies the 1-129,654 of an inch, the would be room in au entire square in for 20,431,453 such letters simiiai placed. Now, the entire Bible, Old and N< Testaments, contains but 3,566,480 1 ters, and there would, therefore, be ro< enough to write tho entire Bible oig times over on one square inch- of gla in tho sarao manner as tlic words of I Lord's Prayer havo been written on t specimen.

The argument that government can't make (that is, erode,) money, sineo the veriest simpleton in the land knows that the individual who attempt 5 to do so will be railroaded to the penitentiary for counterfeiting, carries with it the implication that money is a product of nature. Uutsidc of man, in his individual or collective capacity, the only generative force capable of trausmutiug the tu iterial things of earth into factors necessary for the continued advancement of civilization is uuturc. Then, taking the position that money is not created by law, compels the belief that nature, instead of always being the same staid, solemn, eternal, unchangeable force that men have always believed her to bo, is, iu Mifte'HVtttt; fifuV'rttgTYty ci eat tiros imaginable; for she uot only creates a different kind of money for every different government in the world, but she creates many different kinds of money of different denominations for each government. Thus gold, silver, copper, nickel, brass, paper etc., arc each employed by her in the manufacture of money. In this couutry she gives us dollars, dimes and ceuts; iu Euglaud the denominations aic changed into pounds, shillings and peuce; iu Gcrmauy into kruetzcrs, guiders, pfennings, etc. Such assumption* as these arc calculated to make nature aptcar ridiculous The tuilh is, nature has no more to do with the creation of money than she has to do with the creation of a cotton gin or grain binder or any one of the thousands of things into which men have changed the material provided for her, into things for their own comfort and advancement. She provides the matter from which tvery thing is made Ibr. the.fqyL iliat-the ' imverntnetds 'praper'nintertnl from* vhfMr" to tmrtct? *?" money is gold or silver, no more constitutes those metals "natural money" than doei the fact that Cain slew iibei with a club constitute the manner of Abel's death the "natural" way to die. Upon the theory that "age and custom" justify the use of silver and gold .as money, can be justitied the existence of crime, human slavery, corruption au t skull duggery of every kind, because these things arc, all of them, older even th in the use of money of any kind.
