He w a great advoenwrot frPe coinage, but he d'ul not trust the banks enough to deposit his surplus silver which he had accumulated. in the plSee of depositing in the banks he deposited all of his surplus silver la whole barrel full) in his granary and marked the barrel “lard" so there would be no danger of any one stealing it. As ill luck would have it lightening struck the granary and the whole building was burned, aud his silver was all melted ami nothing but a small lump remained and for hiss’],ono dollar'lie recieved only .SSOO. If his savings bad been in gold his loss would have been very small.' I hi' story is good, even if not true. There are plenty of people who place their sav--ing« in tick', tin bans. etc., for safe keeping, and many cases have been known wheßte people have lost all or theirmoney throirgr tiresi —4. —

In such a case, if tlax money should be bank notes ami bunied,’ tile owner J' the hi.'er and the government Gso much ahead, if these'avinzs should be in silver about one half is lo.'t, but if these savings are in gold very little is lost. Twenty-live years ago it was different. If sl.ooo in silver had lieeii melted down into a lump or bullion at that time all you had to do was to send it to I’uele Sam and you relieved your full value, that is you would recieve one ounce of gob I for every bi ounces of silver you send in. The most of our silver friend' do not want to look at it in that light. They will not see that our script or paper money is good only, because I Hole Sam has promised to redeem it in gold, nor will they see that our silver dollar has not yet fallen to 50 cents, because free coinage has not yet been adopted and the silver now in circulation can be redeemed in gold. More silver would create a money panic. Some people kick because the advocators of the gold as a basis by which all other substitutes as Silver, nickel or paper money must, be regulated. call themselves “good money men.” Is not the gold the best money? With go d tor paper money redeemable in gold) you may go to England where & it will be exchanged for in Germany for “marks,” in France for “francs," in Austria for “tlorins.” and you will not have to pay any bonus. Take our silver dollar over there and see if you fare as well, they push it back to you and will not take it. What would be the consequence if free coinage would become a law? Good money is such money that will pass anywhere and everywhere at its full face value, any money, coin or others. that vs ill not stand this test, is poor "toneyn , _■ Tlonrpe Item*.

THE CITY SMITHY. No Spreading Chestnut Tree, but Picturesque Surroundings Not Lacking. ‘ “Under a spreading chestnut tree the village smithy stands,’’ but the city smithy may he'found in a variety of places. It may perhaps be in a down town street devoted to commerce, with the bellows resting upon a framework overhead to save space, witlr the nozzle running into the forge at the end of a pipe and the handle to the bellows hanging at the end of a rod or chain. It may be a forge up on the structure of the elevated road heating rivets in the air, or it may be on the seventeenth story of some lofty steel frame building under construction, and the coal for this smithy may be dumped alongside of it from a cart that has been hoisted from the street below at the end of a chain depending from a steam derrick. Perhaps it is by the riverside making or mending irons for ship’s, or alongside the cable road in busy Broadway ar night lighted by a flaring gasoline torch. It may be in a movable shanty set up where they are getting out rock to make cellar space. Here they sharpen drill points, the hammer ringing on the anvil while the bouncing steam drills close at hand are noisily pounding down through the rock. There may be over it no spreading chestnut tree, but the city smithy does .not lack picturesque surroundings, and the city blacksmith may easily be a mighiy man.—New York Sun. Magnetized Corset Steels. R “Every day something nevj-is fcunii about electricity and its effects. ’ ’said Mr. Fay t>f the* Southern Paeiiie. “D you know that nine-tentlis. of the umbrellas that men i-arry nowadays av magnetized? W< 11. they are, and all that is necessary to prove this is t>-> s*pply the point of your knife < r. betiii still, a small pen point against -he s;eil rib. The attraction is very peivcpt ibie, .mid it is caused by the carrying of the article inside of the elee.tric c’pis. The umbrella is rested upon the floor neat the motors, and the proximity of the metal causes a certain quantity of the fluid to find a permanent lodgment in the ribs. y “Carrying out the is very likely that the corset steels of the ladies are similarly affected. Think what the consequences would be if a young man with steel buttons should hug a girl with magnetized corset steels!"— New Orleans Times Democrat.

Vegetable Propertied. It may be well to mention that an eminent physician who has been investigating the properties of the different vegetables announces that a diet of carrots ameliorates harshness of character and reduces nervous irritability. Peas create fatty tissue and encourage To Restore Faded Flowers. Flowers that have been packed and are fading from exhaustion may be restored to freshness® if the stalks are .plunged about an inch deep into scald ll ing water. By the time the water becomes cold the flowers will have revived. Cut off tin' ends of the stalks which have, been softened by the hot water and put the flowers in vases with plenty of cold water. Cut flowers are likely to keep longer if you cut off with a sharp penknife a little piece of stalk every day. Cut in a -slanting direction. The strong odor of the water in which wall flowers have remained maybe remedied by adding a little 'charcoal or disinfect ing fluid. —Pliiladelphiu Telegraphs

WOMEN AND WHEELS. Mr. Zimmerman Says If la Time They Were I,yctrre<l For Their Awkwarilnean. “It is high time s me one spoko to wonum about tb"ir position in the sa<lilb', fur. tai:* n altngi rher, there, is vast room for impfovoim nt among the women cyclists,'' says Mr. Zimmerman, -the wack win * Iman. “I do not know just why Jjg should b>' sq, but women who walk gracefully, and whose dancing, for instamry presents the poetry of motion, are awkward on the whe>4. “To overcome that of which I complain I would suggest that all women learn to ride the wheel under the direction of a competent instructor. By that I do not meiui to learn how to get on and off the bicycle and to keep from falling off, but to learn the correct position to assume when riding and how to pedal properly. “Women, more than men, must sit up straight in order to get the full benefit from bicycle riding. If the bicycle, as it is rigged at present, does not permit, change the seat and handle bars. If that doesn’t do it, change the wheel, for it is manifestly better not to ride a wheel than to ride one which is injuring you slowly. The handle barsand saddle can be so arranged that you can assume a natural position. “The best way to begin is by getting a wheel of the proper size and weight and with a suitable saddle adjusted in t-lie proper position. Those are mattefs which you can determine for yourself more quickly and easily than I could tell vou. The easiest and .surest way of getting, a saddle that will be just right is to have ope made from a mold. “See to it that the saddle is kept in its original form. If it should change form through use have it restored to its original slmpm.eise..y.ou will suffer discomfort ami fatigue. P« dal evenly. If you don’t p». dttl .cyeiily now. learn how ar once. Do not put all the force in pedaling in tlifi downward push. Point the toe downward when rhe foot is going forward in the circle. Keep thq, knees in and straight. “As b'-fwi on the seat and themedals do not have the saddle so that when the pedal is at the lowest part of the circle the leg is perfectly straight. The cdrroct position at that point is to have the leg slightly bent at the knee with the toe inclined toward the ground. But b" careful not to have the saddle so low that the upper and lower portions of the limbs are at more than slight angles. At the same time the arms must be curved-slightly, the hands resting easily on the bars. ’’Remember what I have said before to all bicycle riders —don’t rock. It is particularly bad for women to get into the habit. Many wheelmen and wheelwomen seem to think the rocking motion adds to their speed or helps them along. It does nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it does a woman positive and distinct injury, as any medical man -will tell vou.

"And if that doesn’t appeal to you, ladies. I want to tell you that you really look hideous when rocking from side to side, particularly to any one who happens to be behind you. "What I have said about woolen underclothing and keeping out of drafts when the ride is over and the avoidance of drinking cold fluids applies with more force to women than men. Remember you are not so strong as men and can’t endure the saniestrain. Don’t ride too. long or tec far. The best rule is for you to get home before you get tired.” Mrs. Ellen C. Johnson. Mrs. Ellen C. Johnson is said to be the only woman who has held a commission from the governor of Massachusetts continuously during 17 years—since May. 1879. In that month she, with Mrs. Mary G. Ware of Lancaster, was appointed upon the new board of prison commissioners. Mrs. Ware had been on the advisory board of women several yi ars in prison work, anil Mrs. Johnson had had a long experience in ' private work in prisons. After five Years' service ;l s commissioner. Mrs. Johnson became rhe superintendent of Sherborne Prison For Women. Concerning this institution Mr. Warren F.
