vine that alitolntc fixidness ol x-alue is not
claimed for c;old s it is iinpiwsible to find that
in any human product. Hut the changes in
the xaluc of gold are exceedingly small. From
labor to produce a gixen (uantity of the met
al, and the demand for it, for use as jewelry
ana as money ami in the arts. It is remarkably
uniform, ll Jnrluattt scarcely at all. Gold is
stable in value. Wc know the reason. And
let us stick fast to tint. Hut now comes the
mii-stion. Mom i that stability manifes'td?
And here is where the uttir confusion arises.
People arc not wont to incpiire as to the
ainoiint of laW jnit into the object they de
sire. 'I he) ask its "price." Now when we
say that wheat is vvorlli hall-a-dollar r. bushel,
v.i mean, just as much, that the price of gold
dollars in wheat is two bushels each. Uiit this
y.ar a gold dollar is worth two bushels, last
jc.ir it was worth but one bushel, and next
J ear it may be worth but a bushel and a-half.
"I low then can you say that gold does not
fluctuate?" And xxe might taken cotton, hay,
beeves, and show in the same xi-ay that the
ratio of exchange between these and gold is
fluctuating continually. Whj charge these
t!uctuaiions on ex er) thing except gold ? Let
us n.ort to a rude illustration. .Suppose that
in 1875 the price of an umbrella was $1.75 ; of
a haichet, 75Ccnls j of n bushel of wheat 50
ceuiSj And supiose thafin 1S70 the prices of
lhic"ar(iclcs were nsM.-ctivcl) $1,50, 50 cents
and $1. Pur inuning and critical friend now
otaerxrs, Vou sct iilSiiwHifniJrL-lfa, "In
.ii.wiuiU-trr"nni (hint of an umbrella ;
"TS;s ft was worth one nnd'a third hatchets; in
1070 n.is worm two xiiolc Hatchets ; 111 1S75
it was worth ixxii bushels of wheat, in 1S7O it U
worth but one. And yet jou tell me gold does
not fluctuate !" llit suppose that xxe add the
prices of these articles in each jear, together.
1'he Mini 1 xch time is $3 00. In other words,
$j.oo 111 gold will buy an umbrella, a hatchet
and a Inuliel of xvheat in 1S76 just as it would
in 1878. llcncc, the fluctuation's haxc occur
red not in gold but in other commodities.
And just the sort of test we haxc thus crudely
dcsinbed has been applied to the immense
held of fads in actual conmiirce. Volumes
haxc been written on prices, and mountains of
data hue Ucn distributed in tables, with the
result of showing lliat gold is one of the Itast
fluctuating of commodities. The ratio of ex
change with the aggregate of otlitr products i.
remarkably fixed, 'this is of course what wc
should expect, since the sciintitlc cause of the
feet was already levelled. Nor should it have
been necessary to approach the matter in this
upside-down fashion, but for the circumstance
ot the marxcllous notions that prevail.
'ortttiliy ; Gold contains large value In
small bulk. It is portable. Lycurgus abol
ished the use of gold and sihLr and introduced
heaxj brass and iron coin in Sparta for the ex
pi ess HUue of making the possession of
inoiic) a harden. Hut the iintenal for money
should not lie too xaluablc. Iridium is so
costly lhat it would haxc to be held with deli
cate pincers, and would easily be let, peihap.
pulled from the hand by an iuadxertcnt snceic.
A comment may be in place heie as to the
current superficial talk about "cheap money."
Silxer, it is said, would be a good money, the
"poor man's money," because it is "cheap."
Hut to say tint a metal is cheap, in this sense,
is to s.1) only that it requires a large iuamity
or it to act as a medium of exchange for a
small amount of lalKir. The labor tloes not
bring a whit more value, but only more bulk,
more weight. The "ioor man" who should
be paid sixty dollars for a month's work in
"cheap money" would onlj find that in place
f a xviight of alKiut three ounces, lie would
have lo buy olValtnit fixe pounds. And hisf.xe
pounds of silver would not buy a single otato
more than Ihe three ounces of gold, lie would
luxe tixiv dollars of pun losing pbAver and no
more, ll would injure the rjualuj- of gold for
money to haxc il much chcuper 1 11 would sim
ply livcvme less portable. And we slrall see
thai the injury might become xcry great, when
xe come to consider the sclf-regulatlng action
of gold, and its influence in adjusting the
world's scale of puces.
Olfiiil'ifity llecausc the value of com

ceiulu commodity vine worth but half as
much as a bcaxer skin, it would be difficult to
adjul a trade with such money. For 10 cut
the skin in two pieces is lo destroy a part of its

rasily divided, and the aggregate xalue of ihe
paitt j almost exactly equal 10 the xalue of

ment In tlie United Kingdom Ii n curious one.
This w-a Ihe way of ll .
In the aprfng of 1853 two membf rt of ihe
wlclety of frieroU were ermoing the Irish
Channel from Holy Head to Dablln. One of
them was HI) jr, of Maine, the other was
Natlun Cirri, 01 Manchester, Kngtind. The
Maine' law wit then attracting much attention
there, as well M In this country. Friend Card
ashed I'ricml Jones inrtlcntarly about the
result of thl moth; of cfbaling with the liquor
t raffle, friend Jones, having been a long
lime from home, wis not well Informed uixm
the rrmllir and advised his friend lo write lo
Maine where full ami particular lnfotma4loti
could lie bail. In doe time Friend Card re
ceived a reply lo his letter, whereupon he In
vited six Manchester gentlemen of hU acquaint
ance In meet him in a committee-room nf the
Merchant's Library ltuildlng In tlwt city.
After the reading of the American letter lhc
seven gentlemen then and there formed a
society, to which they gave an Imposing name
- "The United Kingdom Alliance for the
Immediate, Total, I,egal Suppression of the
Mquor Traffic." This was on the tjlh of
June, l8st.
'I'hi "Alliance" ha now liecome the richest
and moot influential temperance society in the
world, having In its membership a great many
Influential men and women, and funds so large
thai it it able to spend annually in ii xxork
about $10,000. Not long after in formation
Sir Wilfred I.nwton, then .Vfr. Uiwson, re
cently elected to purli-iment, introduced into
tlie house of commons his measure for the
remission to the people in their several locali
ties of the right lo xote yes or no upon Ihe
question of granting licenses among them.
The allhnce immediately give in its cordial
adhesion to this proposition and promoted it
with all Its influence ind power.
At the first vole upon it in the house of
commons it had only thirty supporters, and Its
opponents sought to put down the project with
a laugh and a sneer. Mr. l.lwson said good
hinnorcdly: "I.ct those laugh who win. The
members of the house shall hax'e an oportunity
to sole upon this measure at ex cry sestian while
I haxc the honor of a scat in And he has
kept his word. For many ) cars this question
has come up, as a trouble to unscrupulous, un
seating many of them and greatly annoying
others.
Sir Wilfred was constantly and badly xoteil
down at excry session of each succeeding
parliament, but by constantly diminishing
majorities, until the coming in of the last
one. Almost all ihe most influential members
wcrcstcadily against him, including Mr. (Hail
stone and the lath Carl lieaconsficld ; but Sir
Wilfred diil nol relax his efforts or feel the
lightest doubt of final success. " llecausc it is
right" was his constant remark in public as
welt as private.
Hut early in the struggle the alliance and
oilier temperance agencies throughout the
kingdom laugh the people that the success oj
the movement would be impossible unless its
friends shouWcarxvL-g-irppj
and voting only for this one object "protection
to nation and people from the infinite cxils of
the liquor traffic, more and greater than those
of war, pestilence and famine combined!"
Sir Wilfred was beaten at the last session but
one of parliament by a majority of 127. The
house was dissolved, a general election took
place, and and a new house assembled, at the
first session of which Sir Wilfred won by a
majority of 26, Mr. Gladstone voting against
himas he hid always done at ex cry division.
At the last session but one Sir Wil
fred won by a majority of 40, Mr. Gladstone
still voting against him, but promising to bring
in a bill in accoidancc with the will of the
house, which he failed to do, and has not done
to this day.
We allude to all this only with a xiew eo
show more clearly the. great progress which the
prohibitive movement has made in England,
and the irresistible public opinion in its faxor.
A few months ago Sir Wilfred introduced his
measure once more, and xvon by a majority of
87, .Mr. Gladstone for it. Nothing can show
more clearly than this fact the great power
of public opinion in Ihe whole kingdom against
tlie liquor traffic, Mr. Gladstone going back
publicly upon all his past life and facing about
upon this great public question. There is no
reason whatever to think that he is in any way
changed in opinion or feeling as to the temper
ance movement on the one hand or 10 the
liquor traffic upon the other. It has been
simply a case of co mpulsion and propulsion by
public opinion, n Kwcr now so strong in Ihe
kingdom lhat it cannot be resisted. The
temperance men there says " It is a great
outrage lo force grog-shops urwn an unwilling
people." Mr. Gladstone has many times voted.
"No" on that proposition. Atlast publicopinion
has compelled him to assent lo it. Hut when
his bill shall come before parliament wc shall
sec how thorough his conveision has been to
the proposition for which he voted.
It is belies ed in Imgland that he will not in
anyway)icld lu the demand ol ihe people
for a direct popular xote on the question ol
license and no license, but wilt propose a
country licensing Uiard, which shall have no
iwwer to respond to the (topular demand for the
titiitiihnteiit of the grogshops. There have
been millions of K-titioners for this measure,
but not one for that which Mr Gladstone will
try lo cany through. Fore inauy )cars no
question In Knngland would call together such
x-ast crowds of people as this) "Legal pro
tection from the liquor traffic." Many of ihe
most eminent men and women In the kingdom
support it, and when Lord Hrougtum joined
it he called the society which was working in
it the "Grand Alliance "
The house of commons is as sensitise to
public opinion as a thermometer u to a change
of temperature, and it is an extraordinary thing
)ia in less than a )car it should change a
iiujoiily of u; in faxor of grog shops into a
nujorit) of 87 against them, making a dinVrence
of 314 xoles. The London Times saidt "The
English mind docs not kindly entertain new
questions, and the house of commons fall iy
repicsents that peculiarity." Sir Wilfred
Law son and the " Grand Alliance "p aiiemly
ami persistently pursued their purpose lo deliver
the nation from the honors oi the drink, traffic,
and in thiil) )eurs haxe succeeded la changing
Ihe public opinion of ihe country, to that psi lu
men!, at last, representing that opinion, has
pronounced emphatically against a trade which
lias nude t'nglaiul the uut drunken nation in
the world, with mate proverly, pauperism arid
crime than any other. Arts- Vtrt HJftnJtnt,

" Because you are a sentimentalist," says
Roger.
" You are mistaken," say I. " One ought
always to 1 very nice in the choice ami use
of wonts, etpecially in the treatment of nice
distinctions. Sentiment and seiitimcntality
are very near of kin. In fact, one ma) be
fairly considered the double of Ihe other, and
which is the other it is often difficult 10 deter

".Heaxcn forbid," says Roger, solemnly,
and he is gone.
I am alone with my treasures. I tumble
them out upon the tabic. Their totality is in
considerable. There are nineteen red rote-
buds, and six pale )cllow ones.
There is one little kid glove. It must haxe
belonged lo a little girl, for no grown-up
young woman had eycr so small , a hand. It
is scarcely possible to be sentimental over that,
for I never lost an) bllle sister and I never
had any little girl of my own.
There is a lot of other stuff in the box which
his little or no meaning, but the nineteen
red rosebuds fill me with unmitakcable
yearning. I don't know what for, and I
don't xcry much care. It is sufficient that I

One can )carn ox-cr very little when one is

Victor Hugo fashion. Hut that sortofmoodsel
dom lasts long with me. I can not keep
back Ihe memories which play pitch ami tots
xvith the xvilhered and yellowed mementoes
before inc. More than one of those crumbling
buds were gathered by taper fingers when I
was a mere urchin of a schoolboy fifteen )eats
ago. Mary, who married the doctor, sent mc
one of them, sent it with the first love-letter
lexer had, sending tbcm by her brother as
too precious to lie trusted lo the post or to
the scant caiefulncss of an ordinary messen
ger. I remember with a queer little spasm of
regret that my mat'cr-of-facl mother burned
the letter, which I had foolishly left on the
bureau. Doubtless I should not think it
worth the saving if I had it now,
but it is nice to imagine something de
lightful in its vanished pagesand unrcmembcred
sentences. Mary,-who martini the doctor,
had grown up to be a practical, contented, ad
mirable vvoman and wife and mother. Doubt
less she ha forgotten ; I can scarcely say why
I haxe remembered. Anothir of those shrunk
en rosebuds was given me almost as long ago
by Mary, who became a nun. I can't remem
ber whether ii is among tlie nineteen red ones
or the six yellow ones. Mar), who is now a
nun, was cxtrnncly pretty, with a pink and
while complexion, and just such lips as
Erasmus wrote that the English girls had. It
xva religious excitement, or rather religious
lack of excitement, which sent prctt) little
Mary into a com cm. lam glad of that be
cause I think she nexer liked any one ilsc so
xv ell a she liked me. I can't remember w ho
gaxe me the baker's doen o'f Ihe tvv cut) .three
remaining rosebuds, Some of tne Iiappenings
which gave me the twelve I do remember
about were an) thing but pleasant. Iliad lo
tight because of two of them. I came near be
ing shot because uf another. The acceptance
of a fourth from Ihe most finixhed flirt of un
limited acquaintance led 10 a fatal misunder
standing by which I lost a charming friend.
Hut tlure is something pleasant to rciueiulier
nWt each of the leniaiiiing light, only I
can't tell which arc the remaining eight. One
two wire given me without a thought of
sentiment li) my best friend, my xviscst coun
selor 1 but she has explicitly forbidden me to"
be sentimental about them, and I dare not
disohcx, her. And the othcis were gixen by
other true friends ; the xvife of the good Ira
Merry, the sister of my most boon companion
who has gone lo 0;cgon, the oddly fascinating
midget of a schoolina'am I nut 'At winter in
the Sonoma County redwoods, my adoptive
mother who lives in Oakland.
There arc other withered rosebuds and
other faded flowers in the heap before me. I
know who gaxe me some of these, because
they arc in a sense individual. There are
half a dotcn pinks. Knid placed one in my
button-hole on each of half adoicn icnicmber
able mornings. There is one boutoonicre,
with its steins in silver foil and a-cruel thrust
through the heart of a fragile tuberose, Jcp
thessa brought it for me through the crush of
a crowded carriage and Ihe hurl) burly
of the Author's Carnival, making me
momentarily xatu by the concession.
There arc some sprigs of fern which Isoude
gave me, and as I look at them. ( remember
tha( I have owed her a letter for almost a
month, and reproach myself for my neglect.
There is a bit of wild briar which Ate plucked
for me under Tamalpais; I told her then about
my assorted sentiment, and the did not laugh.
There are some pansie which Esther gathered
at Lone Mountain, and gave me because I
diked for them. And there arc two tea rose
which Dor! wore at her girdle in Ihe Carnival,
and which I caught ire they fell to the floor,
a she pissed in the grand march.
The roses of Dnrit are the one glint of rcsl
sunshine in this memory-fog. Tkty are un
mlxlakablc. The fragrance of life is still in
them, and the lints of life haxc not yet faded
from their crumpled leave. I am glad to
liive found a due which may lead me out of
this bewildering part. The partly sloped per
sonalities which hare begun to cluster around
and strive for Ihe nineteen red rnvdmds ami
their yellow shttrt, fade, xmnbli, arnl leave the
helpless souvenirs without a name. I Ittrn

Neither sentiment nor the sentimental has any
business in (hit workaday world. They belong
to mcdlmvfll romances. They hive lost iheir
identity in lit common mind under the crude
classification, "gnah." Kverybody is ashamed
lo own the hybrid, even UnH imi'Ksiher,
whose youth entitles them tu ill Ihe silrer

and M fnr sentiment, that is more intangible
still, and she knows it riot. We like to be
thought world-wise and cynical. We want to
Imve seme, or the reputation of sense, but xve
repudiate sensibility. Clearly, then, to be in
the Mth xvith my fellows, I must Imrn my
treasure trove, and turn my back upon assorted
sentiment.

There is a tradition about this moo
of Konahuanui in connection xxith a
dog. One of the beliefs of the olden
times was that a race of hairless dogs
were related to the moos that formerly
existed in our streams, ponds and
inaccessible mountain peaks. One of
thes.? hairl--si drwJiail Wi? i"isV
iniiea unci cooked in ki-icaves by
people living in Kooiau, who
intended it as part of their annual
tribute to the king. The latter was liv
ing on the kona side of the island of
Oahu, and the people had to pass the
JNuuanu pan to get to him. I here
were quite a croxvd ol people going to
pay tribute besides those who had the
laulaus of cooked dog meat. These
laulaus had been put. into a large cala
bash that was secured with knotted
netting as befitted the fastenings of
meat or poi containers lor the kings
table, and was suspended from a pole
borne by two men on their shoulders,
and going single file, the calabash
being suspended between the two.
When the party were almost through
the hala groves of Kekele at the foot of
the l'alt, the moo of Konahuanui
called from the Pali " ke hele ae nei "
()ou are travelling). The cooked dog
immediately answered from (he cala
bash, " Yes, I am going to be otTered
in tribute for these people." On hear
ing these words issuing from the cala
bash, the men carrying it were so
frightened that they threw it away and
fled precipitately. Those of the croxxd
who remained saw a live dog come out
of the calabash and from the wrappings
of ki and banana leaves that had con
tained the cooked dog meat, and
which looked at his disappearing mas
ter!, and then turned and went up the
Konahuanui peak, where no doubt it
was welcomed by hi relative the moo.
F.ver since no native could be pre
vailed on to eat . hairless dog, and as
they xvere looked upou as uncanny
things, hardly any one would take care
of them, and the race has finally died
out. A few specimens, were to be met
with now and then thirty vears ago, but
by the introduction of foreign breeds
with whom jliey gradually intermixed,
they were finally completely lost, as also
are the genuine poi dogs, kekos, of
Hawaii.
