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. Thej have been
o well protected of late yean by the
New York State authorities that they
have multiplied beyond the capacity of
the woods to sustain them.

extra tax, business is going to Brooklyn,
Jersey City and Staten Island.
A Sums'ra uowspapsr tells of experiment?

With t?e cost of freight doducted it is
said that this Sumatra oil promises to bo

products iu'Japan, China and tho far

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. A record of thin kind shows a
development which cannot be matched
by any oth-r country uu tho globe.

there is nothing simpler or easier t
make. Perfect coffee can be made srlt
an old oyster can and a clean rag or
born of druggist's filter paper. It shool
be unnecessary to plead suoh a renvoi
but the nerve-sustaining power of blac
coffee, particularly for people who lea
sedentary lives, should make it at lea
as accessible as bars and soda fountain
In fact, as the Lanoet says, in urging i

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

enough to write tho entire Bible oig
times over on one square inch- of gla

Buffalo, N. Y. ?The switchmen's

At 2 o'clock Sunday morning
ihe Lehigh Valley yards, in East Bultalo,
were the scene of a scries of incendiary
Ires, and the striking switchmen arc
suspected of being the inceudiarics.
Three fires were discovered at vatious
points half a mile apart. Eighteen
Freight cars loaded with cotton, wool,
naerchand'se, and hay, two passenger
coaches, and two watchmen's houses,
were burned.
A train of ten coal cars, which were
standing on the trestles, were turned
loose ana Started down the track. They
crashed into the watcf tank, smashing it
tnd wrecking an cngino which was takng
water.

of 42 cars lying on the main tracks,
*as eet on fire ut midnight and in au
hour there were 15 or 20 cats burned It

At 1 o'clock the fire bad broken
>ut at the yards and indications were
hat serious damage would be done as
ihe fire was burning fiercely. Nothing
:cuild be done by the engines attached to
the train, as the crews were driven front
their engines and three's were made if
be men attempted to move them. The
Ire department was unable to do any

18 MONKY A I'UODUCr OK NATUHE?
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

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. And

ways lingeriugly and lovingly dwelt
upon by our "wise men'' in their advocacy
of these inc'als as the only proper mency
material, is the fact that their use has
been sanctioned hy custom and made
vcoerable by age. To a mind cap dile
of consecutive, analytical think ng it
would seem that the very lact the bare
logged baiburiaus of thou-tnd- of yea's
ago used those metals for money materials
is of itself sulliricnt to e st a deep,
dense shade of suspicion over their real
utility for that purpose Toe incontrovertible
tiuth is that money, lawful *\ money,
the tender of which cannot he
j refused without prejudice to cue's
claim, is a creature of man in his aggregate
or governmental eipicitv, and the
only milk in the financial cncoannt is involved
iu the question as to how ihe
wealth-producers of ihc nation will
profitably avail themselves of this govermcntal
function.
