SHERMAN OX SIMM.

The Ohio Statesman Talks Ou tho Silvor Question. B Arsitmciit .311lnst Silver MnuomcUl lloua. t Which. lie I) lur U the Nulion. I'ikIit tho t'lirrliMtlng; Cl;tilc. n Drifting;. Wamiinotojt A ig1. 0, -The featuru af thu .session of the senate to-dav was "the speech of Senator Sherman, of Ohio. At tho hilt to repeal the Sherman act xiiit laid U toro tha senate, and Mr. Sherman Ciep., O.) proceeded to address tho senate. Ho xald that If the repeal of tho purchasing cUtws of tho act of July. IsR was tho only reanon for tho extraordinary session, li -would oera to hlra Insufficient. It was. however. Justified by the existing tlnaiui tl ttringoncy. On one thing, ho said, anurraa and the people were asreed. and that mas teat Loth Kohl and surer shouia he con tinned in use as money. Monometallism, pure nd simple, had uover trained a foothold in tho United .States, if senators wanted cheap weney and an advance lu prices, free eolnace of silver was tho way to do It: but they should ROt call It bimetallism. 'S" Senator Shmnim. Mr. Shermcn th'n proceeded to discuss tho Slstory of the net that iear his name. Ilo was not Iii favor of th fre: coinage of silver, and regarded lias hut another name for tho moaomctallism of stiver, and was only In favor of the purchase of silver for purposes of colnlnjr. The conferees of the two houses ajtrceri upon their differences, and In that nsreotnnnt secured the repeal of the Hland-Allion act Mr. Sherman reminded senators when they criticised tho law that bus named after Jilm. they should rejueinber that this law now on the statute tooUs iras far better than either the house Mil or that passed by tho senate. The president had, Mr. Sherman said, set Torth the decline in tho raluo of silver, but failed to Ivo the causes of the decline. Had bo taken a broader lew o.f the causes of that decline be could have explained it all. Xt wan due, Mr Sherman said, to the fact that we were railed upon to pav our debts, debts payable in fold. Kmjland was tho great creditor country, and we should neither bo ashamed of nor hate her; wo are her children and partalt much of the characteristics of the parent stock. England's losses In tho Argentine Hepuilie bad to be made good, and she returned our securities and demanded the sold needed to save her own institutions from going down For tho first time also in a number of years the balance of trade was against us, and we bad to make tho dlffcrcnco pood. After discussing other matters contributing to'tho present condition. Mr. Sherman tlcclared that an erroneous impression had been created when it was claimed that the Sherman law was the causa of all the trouble, and this, he said, with all duo deference to Mr Cleveland. Still the fact was that congress must deal with a situation and not a measure. He lellcvcd In "giving tho devil bis due." and was ready to stand by tho law. not as a measure In which ho took any special pride, for ho was compeled to yield in order to prevent disastrous legislation. AVlthout this law what vrould the country have done In 1SJ1 nnd 1SW ftad It been called upon them to meet the dlfDcultles now staggering us. He was not a tiew convert to the repeal of tho law, but a year gohe had Introduced a bill to suspend the operations of tho law. It was worded almost exactly like that of Mr. Voorhees". Why did not tho democratic senators then seo tho dangers they now see. and come to the help of the rejiQbUcans when they sought to suspend the Ctw Not a democratic voto was hod then, and democrats must answer why. This very currency famine was not through fea that tho money of the country was not cood. nnd the people should not be deceived us to tho reasons for tho repeal. Mr. Sherman Aid not believe tho repeal of tho law would In any considerable degree relieve tho country from the existing stagnation. Its repeal would case tho money market from tho dreaded fear of tho free coinage of Bllver Tho law was denounced by the democratic party as n miserable makeshift. It was a makeshift, and a good eoo It tended to prevent the Ills growing out of the free coinage of silver. The democratic parly was now charged with a great responsibility nnd Mr. Sherman warned them that If they attempted to alter the existing tariff laws they would plunge tho country into deeper distress than now exists. Taking it for granted that the Sherman law would bo repealed, what of the future? Mr. St ermon. while not the adviser of the.'emoemtte party, said he was entitled to give his opinion as an American citizen. First of all wt must preserve Intact, the jxirlty of nil our money. It might lo necessary to Issue our tscturitle.s to secure gold to maintain this parity, the only way by which we can sumxnanlv secure gold. At this point of his speech Mr. Sherman deTlatd from the direct path of bis argument reply to and clear away tho charges and aspersions mado by. senatorsnnd others In connection with his so-called act demonetising silver In 1ST3. and he confessed to some annoyance at the stntemant mado the other day by Mr. Voorhees that the action of those who had managed the legislation had been stealthy and troacheraus. Mr Voorhees declared that nothing could lxs farther from his purpose and Intention than to nay an unkind or dlsresjK-ctful word about tho cnator from Ohio. That senator was not In Ills mind when bo uttered those words. Hut as they were disagreeable or offensive to him, he expressed revret nt hating uttered them, and de larod himself Incapa.le of Inlllctlng an Mront unprovoked on any gentleman In tho senate or elsewhere. Mr Sherman said that certainly he did not des re to say anything on the matter. bclmr ti:tned that what the senator from Indiana "had said was duo to his exuberant eloquence. (Laughter He Intended now to produce tho pul llc record of the matter and tnnkothoact of 1W3 plain nnd clear and to show that the whole proceeding was free from corruption, and was honorable to congress, and hercaftcr.be a Id. In nngry and excited tones.when any man tns.l(cs that Imputation I will simply say that It Is a falsehood, and I brand It so now. There fbas never been any bill freer from wrong In-Ibr-nce than the act of 1873, and to say that It wa jas.sed surreptitiously Is a falsehood and llf by whomever uttered. Mr Sh'rman devoted some time to an exposure cf tho fntechood of a letter written by nomeone who avowed himself as nn anarchist and who professed to repeat a statement supposed to have been mado to him by Mr. Ernest Sciad as to having bribed congress to jwss tho law of Wn. Ho declared that Mr. Selad was n extreme blmctalllst as any man within the Bound of his voice, and that tho statement of tho obscure anarchist was a He mado out of w hol cloth. Mr Sherman boldly avowed his connection with the legislation of lsr.l. anJ said 'alluding to Mr. Stewart, of Nevada. that ho would not plead tho baby act. The senator from Nevada representing, s ho did, Intelligent, active, industrious twoplo interested in tho mining of sliver and gold, ought to have known at that tlmo whether tho dollar of the luddy was doad and gone or J" Ueo.uor trotn upsoch made by Mr.

I

StewarUn the seaato tn 1W7I these words: 1 want the simulant gold, and no paper money that Is not redeemable In gold. Hy this procsM we shall eomo to a specie basts, and when th laborer hall reo Ivo his dollar It shall bus tho sim purchasing power as a dollar of gold tho unlvers.il standard of tho world. Everybody know that." Tho citing of those, quotations, showing such a remarkable change on tho part of Mr, Stowart. provoked general laughter at tho expense ofthat senator, who looked somewhat bow Ilde rt'il but only stroked his long beard. Subsequently. h.wvr. ho promised to reply to Mr, Sherman on Friday next. Mr Shnrman followu 1 up his advantage over the N'ovada senator by exhibiting a newspaper published In that state, one wholo side of which was occupied wlthnotl.'osof assessments, on silver mining stocks, alluyable In United States gold coin. Then he came back to tho main sir jct of his speech, and said: "I don't tbluk that the stoppage of silver coinage was tho end of silver. We have proved that tho mere purhaslng of silver by us on a declining market is nu Improvident use of tho public money and ought to be abandoned, at least suspended until a tlmo which may come, when by nn International agreement or by some provision of law, wc may guard ngnlust the possibility of coming to a slnglo standard of silvor. That can be done. What do wo do now but simply stop tho purchasoof silver! We don't say when w will renew It -again. We simply say that now, In view of the posslbllltyof a panic, it would bo unwlso for us to waste cither our credit or our money in

buying that which must Ilo in the cellars of tho treasury. It was in order to give assurance that wo do not Intend todestroy thesllvcrmlulngindustry of the west that wo put into the bill reported by tho committee tho provision proposed by the senator from Indiana. Instead of aiding to strike dow.i silver I would like to build it up. nnd any measure that will do so and will not demonetize gold will meet my approval and support. Hut I would not dissever the finan cial business of this great country, with its ftOCO.OJOof people, from the standards that aro now reconlzed by all tho Christian nations of Europe. 1 would not havo any other measuro of value than that of tho proudest and haughti est country In tho world. This Is not a ques tion of nifro Interest to Nevada or Colo rado. It Is not a question of what Wall street will do. Wall street will bo always doing sonio devilment or other. It makes no rtlffcrenco who Is up or down I lake that as a matter of course. Tho question Is What should be done for Hie people of the Unite 1 M it s In all Its length and breadth, and therefore If cangross will .say that In Its opinion It Is not wlsn now to continue the purchase of sliver bullion there will bo no Injustice to Colorado or Nevada. Ar" wo bound to build up tho Interest of one section of the country at the expense of tho restf No, I lwlfove heartily nnd truly that the best thing we can do now Is to süspend. for the time at least, tho purchase of sliver bul lion. licnirrlriK to tho suggestion of authorizing the Issue of bonds, Mr. Sherman said: -I urn willing to trust to your executive officers. If you aro not. it is a strance attitude In rwllileal uffalrs. I Would give tly m power to protect tho credit of the governim-nt against all enemies at nome una auroau. u nie tu hi must he for the nosse.Sfilon of eold I would use our cotton. our corn and our wheat: I would protect our crem atain nil munutnu. as to stiver. I would say that wo prefer to wait awhile unUl the skies aro clear and until wo see tho effects of the buspctit-loti of silver coinage, and see what arrangements can bo made for another monetary onferenec. In the meantime let the United Stntss stand on its strength nnd credit. I think that soon all these clouds wtil dissipate, and that wo may go home to our Irlends with the conviction that we have done a koou work for our countrv at large. (Applause j Mr. Sherman concluded at 2:45, having occupied two hours and ten minutes, l'orllcnc of bis speech wer rad from manuscript, but tho great part of it was delivered extempore and with great rapidity and force. Ho was listened to throughout with unflargln attention and In'erist. A GRAND SHUTOUT. IJoomera Who Wilt Full to Show the Kecrnrj- Oiisilltli s to Itrglster. Gi'TintiK, Okla.. Anir. 31. The inte rior department agents havo just ar rived here with blanks showing what will lo required of all persons intend ing to settle upon the Cherokee strip.

Ahkaxsas City, Ivas., Aug. ai. There is lihelv to be trouble over the Cherokee allotments after the strip opens, uhen the allotments were made the Cherokes' picked them near projected county scats. 'I he location of county i-eats was then changed hy the department to circumvent them. They have also filed on lands on which there are permanent improvements, and as they will interfere seriously with a number of town-site schemes they will Ik contested. A cattleman who rode through the strip Tuesday from Oklahoma says there aro thousands of "sooners" all along the eastern border. He saw hundreds of them who did not trv to hide, und lie saw their hiding places out on the prairie. The have gopher holes on many of the town sites. rhese are holes covered with boards on which sods are nailed and furnished with a breathing hole. He states that the cavalry would not bo able to dis cover them, A body of men who have expressed their right to enter tho lands has organized to cuter the strip, locate and demand relinquishment money from settlers.

Heplvinir to the criticism in some quarters that his circular of August 21 would cause the New York batiks to retaliate upon tho Kansas banits by catling upon them to tako tip their rediscounts and paper, and thus cripple their finances, Stato Hank Commissioner llriedenlhal says that from reports received from auO banks ho finds that their balaneos in New York aggregate $H7,!I!H.70. Against this there is due New York banks on rediscountcd paper $53,101.3(1, nearly one-half of which is the paper of one bank. The remaining 187 owe not a dollar in New York. It is now proposed to deprive New York of the Kansas fiscal agency and put in to Chi cttgo or Topcka.

After tho reading of tho journal. Mr. Weaver (K. Y.) apm'ared at tho bar of tho house on tho arm of hU colleague. Gen. Tracey, and was worn in by tho sjwakor. The resolution contained in tho order of procedure on tho sliver question was reported by tho cl"rk. providing for a voto flr.U upon free coinage of stiver nt t'ju pressut ratio of 10 to 1.

In favor of froo silver, was paired with Mr. Graham (dem,, N. Y.l. opposed to It. Not nearly as mu;h Interest was takon on the second vote, which was on tho ratio of 17 to 1. The decisive vote on the 1ft t.i 1 ratio seemed to dishearten the silver men. and I ci placoof tho attention which was paid to tho tlrst was .substituted a listlessness which was upread throughout Iho ball. Tho voto resulted In tho defeat of tho nmendment by a voto of: Yeas, 10); nays, Tho populist member did not voto. The membra who voted for tho 10 to 1 ratio, but against tho 17 to 1 ratio, were Messrs. Hretr. (dem.. IndA, Hrookshlro (dem., Ind.). Hryan (dem . Nob.), Conn (dem, Ind.), Doollttlo (rep.. Wash.).

On this voto there was one change, for while no one who voted for 13 to I, voted njalnst 13 to 1. Allon (dem.. Miss who did not vote at nil on the former proportion, voted for 13 to 1.

Tos.) endca vorod to stave off for n short time by offering nn amendment to repeal the parity elau.se of the Sherman act, In the hope that I y so doing lie could rally somo ol gold men to his support and thus weaken the friends of tho unconditional repeal of tho purchasing clause, but the speaker ruled that this Tfns not in order pending the demand for the engrossment and third reading of tho bill, ami the bill was accordingly ordered to a third rending. Then Mr. Ilally raised the point that thero should be a division of the question. Ono nart of it repealed the purchasing clause and the other retained the parity clause. There should bo n separate voto on each. Hut aunln tha upenkcr pointed to tho decisive order of tho resolution under which the house was acting, ami -held that, such separation could not b had. The voto was then taken upon tho final passage of the Wilson bill and it was passed: Yeas, 210; nays. 110.

W0LC0XT ON SILVJM.

The Colorado Sonntor Ohtunplons the Whlto Motal. A Strong Argunu wt from the Tree Coli Mg Standpoint Tin l'ri''nt Dopri'Mlon Luid Ml the Door of r.iiatrni Hunkers. Washington. Atnr. :1L At the con elusion of the morning Mr. Walcott, of Colorado, addressed tue senate in oppo sition to the house hill for the repeal of tiie .Sherman acL lie was listened to with the closest attention by sena tors on the lloor and the audience which packed the galleries. Thu speech occupied nearly an hour in delivery, and the remarks of the senator were frequently iipphutded by his colleagues on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Wolcott began by saving that It was un fortunate that this financial panic was unac companied by the widespread religious revival which Invnrlably, It was said, followm! panics, Tho ready and completo change of heart, how ever, on tho financial question which had been witnessed In tho senate cbambcrgave evidence that It w-.is time when men wero especially open to conviction, And If tho administration, with its petty spoils and patronage, bad been able to make so many converts, what might wo not hope when tho assuranco of futare happiness would not be for four short years, but for eternity. The misfortune under which tho silver man suffered was that the ml ministration .conversion camo Hrst, for If tho hearts of senators had tlrst ln-en Impressed with tho littleness of tho things of this world and the glory of things supernatural, tho peo ple, who wero to to tho sufferers, would not have been deserted by their representatives. Except as patronngo might be used to affect congress, there was no criticism to be mado respecting tho policy of tho administration. Criticism of tho secretary of tho treasury was almost mLspluced, because ho was a member of tho president's household and committed to his policy. N'or was the prcaWoat open to strKture lecauso of his message, for he had nlwavs teen a consistent and ielst"tit opponent of silver coinage. The w.st knew last year that, whoever was elei-teX Us reliance must be placed in coucress. will h had more then once risen above tho pcrsoual wishes of tho executive. Senator Wolcott sarcastically referred to tho great number cf senators who. professing to bobl-mcttallIts. held that an International ugrcement was necessary, and pointed out that thereby they accepted the single gold policy of England. Ho said that the friends of silver were not carried away by such utterances ns those of Senator Hill tho other day. Who was not for them was against them, nnd his speech would have Icon logical If made against silver nnd In favor of unconditional repeal. Tho senator knew that free coinage by separate act was lmiH!sihln during this administration, nnd that any assistance he desired to render must come now or never at all. Silver hid Insca compeled to bear everybody's burdens for many months, and It seemed now to be Involved In some fashion with the democratic factional differences In Now York. AS TO VOOIIllKKS Senator Wolcott next paid his attention to Senator Voorhees. and said that his chance of front was ono of the most remarkable and ominous of occurrences. Ho attneged tho fenator's record on silver and national banks, and said that nil bis past utterances as shown by tho Hecord wero "words writ In water. "He quoted from the senator's article last year in tho North American Hoview. to show his lack of consistency, and asserted that now for the llrst time ho (Voorhees), supposed to represent the masses, nnd Sherman, supposed to represent tho classes, were In complete accord in tlnanclal matters. Tho wolf was dwelling with the lamb and the leopard was lying down with the kid. This harmony, he feared, would not contlnuo long, and when they arose tbcv would bo fewer in number. There could be but ono chairman of the finance committee, and without underrating the abilities of the senator from Indiana, bo looked forward to tho resumption of the control of the committee by tho senator from Ohio, and recalled Pharaoh's dream of lean klne. He adjured the senator to remember Solomon's admonition, "that It Is l etter that thou shouldst not vow than that thou shouldst vow and not pay" (referring to his ndtoracy of silver). No man could l-e a bl-metalllst in tho sense that he believed in the further coinage of gold nnd silver by tho United States and advocate this bill. Tho president would undoubtedly veto an Independent measure for tho free colnaceor silver, and there was not a senator In tho body who did not believe this to lie true. Any man who vouched for Mr Cleveland as a t i-uetslllst woulii vouch for the man In the moon. Why not net now on the whole financial question? It was glibly said that wo could have further legislation later. Wo shall never know any more about silver than wo know now. and congress was In session to deal with tho subject. It might bo true, as Senator Hill prophesied last week, that the parch islng clause would lio unconditionally regaled, but it was equally true that he might tind it necessary aftur a time to revise his prophecy. SIl.VKU DETItllONEI). If this act should pass and sliver be as it must, absolutely dethroned and degraded, he knew of no reason why nny sf nator who bollevid in fice coinage should ever cast another vote in favor of protection in any form. This was an era of experiment; let us experiment all round. Even If It were true that our abandonment of silver would In tune compel other nations to Its use. tho step would bo ruinous and unnecessary- We could absorb all tho silver offered for colnngo without inflation of the currency and without Impairing our financial credit at homo or abroad. He had demonstrated, a few days ago. the folly of the statement that tho reiwal of the Sherman act would restore conlbb-nce. This was a bankers' panic, and If you asked n banker to-day bow the repeal was to restore conlldence ho could i.ot tell you. Tho depositors who drew out some HWOO.OCO did not complain of the fact, and none of them drew out money tccauo of tho existence of that law. It seemed unaccountable that In panic times banks should not dcslro an Increased volume of the money. Their plan was. however, after repeal to ask for the Issue of tlOO.ono.OOO of gold bonds, and they hud good reason to bcllnvo that a complacent finance committee would authorl.o such a bill, While walling clearinghouse certificates based oa rediscounted paper furnished nn excellent substitute for money. No more remarkablo statement had ever been made thnn that by Mr. Gorman. With bated breath he urged the senate not to Inform itself of thr facts Id rcganl to tho condition of tho banks, but to let the comptroller nlonc. A western point of view was not of much valuo these days on Wall street, but' ho ventured tn suggest to the able financiers of that attralvc but oxpenslvo locality that If they would prevent n repetition of such frauds as tho Whisky trust and such mismanagement as had been shown in Cordago and other Industrials; would remember that tho Sherman act, or some kindred measure recognizing silver coinage, must afford them tho only avenue possible for nn enlargement of tho currency which they especially needed: would look at a map of tho United States und observo that they cover a broad expanse of country, and contain many people with many views, nnd would so modify their opinions ns not to believe that every man who differed with them respecting nnnnelal matters must bo cither a villain or a crank, we would tho sooner arrive at that condition of mutual conlldence and regard which ought to obtain between citizens of iho same country. no ovEitrnoiJtK-no.v. Mr. Wolcott then went on to controvert tho rgumonts that there was an overproduction of silvor In tho world; that It was cheaply produced, nt a cost much less than lis present market price as n commodity, and that upon a return to free coinage at a ratio of 10 to l, tho present product would bo largely Increased, He held that not ono of these slnlmonts was true ud that UUIty of each of them could be

readily demonstrated. In this connection ae cited a number of Mguren and tuklmr up particularly the case of Isidvllle, eltisd Iho rosuits of ii careful inquiry made by a committee of leading cltlxens Into the cost of sliver production there. Ills summary showed that Loadvlllo hud produced In fourteen years, net flOLülMül, at a cost of U2l.MI.v, showing u losi in silver mining ehnngo I into u fair protlt 1 y tho value of the products. Tho people of tho far northwest favored tho resumption of

free silver colnaiso becuuso they believed in bimetallism They wero not inflationists; they did not advocate Hut money. They tclievtd that, as Senator Jones had aptly put it, tho rule obstacles which nn ture had interposed offered a letter safeguard for the people than the wKlom or unwisdom of their rulers, They opposou tho single standard becauso thero was not enough gold to do the business of tho world and furnish its Inhabitants with tho currency they needed, Twenty years' exjiorlenco had emphasized tho experience of centuries. Sliver had not ilcprorinted, but rold had appreciated. Tho question ns to whether sliver should K dotnonotlzid by this bill was natlo-a, ami riot local. If h" represented any other section, with his knowle Ige of tho possibilities of th great west, ho would bo equally tenacious for tho preservation of the whlto metal as a standard of value. No man removed from the money centers nnd realizing thu Illimitable resources of this republic and lis constantly increasing needs would ever stand for tho contraction of a currency already insufficient. IDENTICAL INTKHRSTS. The interests wero identical with thoso of the othör sections of thu country which woro iKirrowcrt nnd not lenders. They demanded tho coinage of both metals liecauso tho history of all countries had taught them they afforded tho safest and most adequate basis for tho currency of tho peple. Thov were not inlluonced by their en ;ronment. It was true that, for a generation at least, many great states would suffer If this bill became a law; lut they could endure It, The strong would survive and tho weak would go to tho wall. Hut It would bo tho lirst tlmo in the history of tho world that a people devoted to ono of tho noblost Industries to tho search for precious metals were doomed to destruction by their fellowmen becauso they produced too much for them. They should be proud that within tho limits of our country the courago and Industry of our people hail developed silver enough, und nearly gold enoiuh, to sutlsfy tho constantly-increasing needs of thoso metals for coinage purposes. Thero could be no stronger bulwark of a country's safety than that she produced her own coin for her own people, and was tiot delsjndcnt for It on foreign nations. If tho mining states alone were to suffer by unconditional rciwal they would suffer without a word lti tho interest of a mistaken policy for the public good: but there was not a section of tho country that was not likewlso jeing devoted to disaster and linixiverisbmcnt. The senate was endeavoring to remove ono of tho cornerstones of the government fabric, to tear down ono or tho pillars of tbo temple of our prosperity: they would Und to their sorrow that when the western nnd southern walls bad crumbled the eastern facailo would not remain unrautllatcd and secare. The results of this nctlon woull affect every homo and fireside In this broad land. Measured against the welfare of a great people threatened with tho misery and suffering which must follow tho nbandonment of silver, i of how slight Importance wero party lines and how paltry and sordid did patronage and the favor of tho executive appear. Tlio rattle must be fought to the end In this forum. Oa other occasions had tho senater In onposition to tho wishes of the executive and a hostllo majority in another body, stood linn and unyielding against party und eastern clamor. No!ejtlonnl horzlon obscured Its view. If tho contest for tho people was to bo won It must be iHicause against tho selfish demands of tho cast were arrayed the votes of tho south and west. It was standing together on this creat question to save tho common country from greater suffering and improvorlshmcnt than even tho horrors of war could inflict, and by their united votes to maintain, riot alono tho standard of both -gold and silver contemplated by tho constitution and consecratod by centuries of usage, but to maintain as well tho standard of American tndcxidcnco and Amer ican manhood. Cooling Drinks. Since both lime juice and unfermented grape juice come in bottles ready for use, with other fruit sirups, from forty cents to fifty cents a bottle. a large bowl of these preparations on a summer piazza is a welcome sight to one's friends. You need put nothing to grape juice but broken ice, hut to lime juice you can add sugar, a trille of any cordial, plenty of water and some slices of pineapples or peaches. The addition of fruit gives a smoothness to the beverage. It may be easier simply to mix the lime juice and ice in a howl with the sujrar and flavoring, while keeping the sliced fruit in a covered glass dish. Then put a spoonful from each bowl in a tumblerful of water as you serve each guesL The wild cherry phosphate, which is sold in various sized bottles, also makes a most agreeable drink with ice water. About n co flue spoonful of any phosphate is enough for a single glass. SL Iritis lilobe-DemoeraL (Jul to Enough. Kridgct Give me me riferlnee, plaze. mum, an' Oi'll go.

Judge. j I Riddled together in the northeastern corner of Indiana are more than 1,U00 natural lakes, ranging in size; from 10 to 100 acres. They are all within the boundaries of .Steuben, De Kalb. Lagrange, Noble nnd Ivosehtüko counties, Jtlii of them being in Noble county alone. Nnch is the isolation of this extraordinary group of lakes that the average Indiana citizen, outside of the small area in which tho system is situated, is unaware-of its existence. It is entirely separate from the river system of the state. Nowhere else in Indiana is there a lake of any sir.o whatever. The following experiment, which illustrates in a plensing manner tho actual formation of haios, has been given hy Dr. llrewster: Take n saturated .solution of alum, and, having' spread a few drops of it over a plate of glass, it will readily crystallize in smalt, flat octahedrons, scarcely visible to the eye. When this plate is held between the observer and tiie sun, or si candle, with eyes very close to the smooth side of the glass plate, thero will be seen three beautiful halos of light at different distances from tho luminous body. A pronounced vein of humor must certainly have run through thu eurato who said tb his flock: "I fear wheu I explained to you in my lusteharitj serlnon that philanthropy was the love of our species, you must have understood mu to say 'specie,' which may account for tho smallncss of thu collection.

KENNEDY'S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF MXtURY, MASS., Has 'discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Hum. , from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He lias tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and ntver failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its va'vtf, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a'perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shootinn pains, like needles passing throuoh them; the same witli the Liver or Bowe . This is caused by the ducts beuiR stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime, and read the Label.
