FOR DELICATE CHILDREN
A Mother's Letter to Mothers,
Mrs. E. W. Cooper of Bloomfield,
N. J., says: "My child, seven years
old, bad a bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in health. She
bad been In this condition for about
ell weeks when I began giving her
Vinol. It was a wonderful help to the
child, breaking up her cold quickly
and building up her strength beside.
I have also found Vinol a most excel
lent tonic for keeping lip the chil-
dJen's strength during a sieger of
Whooping cough."
Vinol is a wonderful combination
of two world-famed tonics the medi
cinal body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, there
fore it is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because it is not a
patent medicine, everything in it is
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they are giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak, sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.
P. S. Our Saxo Salve is truly won
derful for Eczema. We guarantee it.

THE OLD TRADE DOLLAR.
And the Exact Ratio of Gold to Silver
In the Year 1870.
Three minlug engineers were gather
ed together the other day, and the
question as to the value of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as it may
seem, no one knew its value, and there
was considerable haziness as to the
exact value of an ounce of pure gold
or of the old fashioned value of an
ounce of silver, says a correspondent
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. CaleultKions which I made seem
ed to indicate that the ratio of gold to
silver iu 1870 was not exactly 16 to 1.
Possibly it may be of Interest to the
profession to know the exact Bgures
which I have received from the assay
er of the mint bureau. United States
treasury.
Coinage value of one ounce pure
gold is $20.671834025. A convenient
fact, easy to remember, regarding this
figure is that forty-three ounces of coin
gold, 000 fine, are worth $S0O. ,
Coin value of an ounce of silver
1870 H-2829
Coinage value of a trade dollar in
1870 1-0W18
The coinage value of a Mexican dol
lar In 1S70 I-0169
The trade dollar was coined so that
it might be used In the orient on a
parity with the Mexican dollar, which
it slightly exceeded in value. The
Mexican dollar, no longer coined,
weighed 417.74 grains and was 002.7
fine, slightly in excess of tie United
States fineness of 000.
In 1870 the ratio of gold to silver
was not It! to 1. but 15.9884- to 1.
This silver ratio has been discontin
ued, and the ratio for the present sub
sidiary coluage is 14.95349 to 1.

OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.
The Journal Des Debats and Napo
leon's Famous News Order.
The oldest newspaper in Paris, the
Journal des Debuts, was one of the
cluster of newspapers which sprang
into being with the beginnings of pop
ular government in 1789.
It was founded by a printer named
Baudoln. and purported to be. as its
name shows, a mere chronicle of po
litical events. Owing to its pungent
criticisms of men and affairs it soon
became oue of the most Influential of
the Paris Journals.
In 1805 the puper was compelled by
Nanoleon to change its name and be
came the Journal de I'Emplre. It was
in the course of the correspondence
which took place between Napoleon
and the editor. Flevee, on the subject
of the threatened censorship that the
emneror cave the order which has be
come famous, about the policy of the
newspaper, 'that it should publish no
news unfavorable to the government
until the truth was so well known that
Dublicatiou was needless.
After Nanoleon's retirement to Elba
the paper resumed its old title, it Is
still edited and printed in the house
where it was first started, beside the

then the agonized pair watched the
fight for lift skill and vitality on one
ci,l Huron disease on the other. When
at last the struggle ceased the gray
iawn of day was looking in at the
window I.tfe had won. The child
slept.
"She is all right now." said the doc
tor, shaking the man's hand, which
had gripped his, and feeling his heart
grow warmer under the look of mute
gratitude the woman turned upon him.

Clementine Woodbtidge, an old school
mate and bosom friend of mine, mar
ried and was so happy with her hus
band that she wished me to be happy
too. So she concocted a scheme to
trap me into the double life. She got
up a house party for my especial bene
fit, composed of half a dozen young
men and n dozen young women, and
informed 'me that oue of the young
men was intended for my fiance. Hut
when 1 asked her to name him she de
clined, saying that to do so would
spoil It all. lie had been informed
that one of the girls of the party had
been picked out for him. but he. too.
was to be kept in ignorance as to her
Identity.
When the party met 1 looked the
young men over, but did not think I
could fall in love with any one of
them. A man might passively submit
to ignorance iu such a matter, but not
a woman. I had not been in the
house five minutes before I began to
try to find out who the man was wuu
had been picked out for me. Hut
Clementine had made this not so easy
a matter as would appear by telling
every one the same story she had told
me. In other .words, the party . had
been divided Into couples with matri
monial intentions. But this was only
better to keep me and the man picked
out for me from discovering each
other.
Nevertheless all took kindly to the
plan, especially the girls, each one of
whom was ns much bent on finding
out her partner.
My favorite was Alan Coleman;
therefore I was sure be was the man
who was Intended for me. But Alan
did not reciprocate, and nfter showing
my preference for lilm I suddenly
dropped him and lavished my favor on
George Burke, who acted as if I was
the girl picked out for him or at least
was the girl he hoped had Deen pick
ed out for him.
As soon as I dropped Alan ana snow
ed a preference for George tieien
Smith, who had conceived nn idea that
George was intended for her, showed
her spleen toward me, treating me
with the greatest coolness. Alan also,
seeing the change lu me, considered
himself very much injured, barely
speaking to me, and it was evident
that there was an antagonism between
him and George.
What took Place among the four
that I have mentioned occurred with
the others ns well. Every girl became
antagonistic to every other girl; that
I knew. But 1 dian t nave as eiem
an Insight into what was going on
among the men. I don't believe men
think as much about marrying as wo
men do. Marriage in the case of men
usuallv conies about unintentionally.
while women intend to marry if they
can find the men they want and can
get them. However, we had not been
working out Clementine w oounrmge a
matrimonial scheme long before her
husband admitted to me that there
was nearly as much rivalry among the
men as among the women.
During the first few days ot our
house party it was very enjoyable.
During the next few days constraint
began to appear, though it was var
nished over with apparent good will.
By the time we had spent two weeks
together the house was In an up
roar. Many of the girls did not
speak to one another, and, as for
the men, they looked as If they
would like to shoot one another.
Several of the girls told our hostess
that they were about to take their de
parture, making some trivial excuse,
and were only prevented from break
ing up the party by Clementine tell
ing them that If they didn't finish the
term for which they were invited
twenty days she would feel offended.
Finally the day before the expira
tion of the term Clementine called us
all into the library and said that she
had been urged by her guests to re
veal the names of the couples as she
had intended them to unite and would
read them out from a paper on which
she had written them and sealed in the
presence of witnesses on the day the
Invitations were sent out. She then
broke the seal of an envelope, took out
the list and read aloud:
"Walter Hartley and Jennie Ilart"
"Oh, my goodness grac" exclaimed
Miss Hart, stopping the exclamation
bv nutting her hand over her mouth.
Mr. Hartley's eyes bulged, his face
reddened, and he looked as If his shirt
collar were choking him. They had
paid each other no attention whatever.
"Henry Depue and Helen Dougherty."
Miss Dougherty arose from her seat
and. with her head In the air, swept
out of the room. Mr. Depue sat still,
staring at the ceiling.
'Donald Mis and Cella Moffat"
"What an idea!" exclaimed Miss Mof
fat, with a vicious giggle.
The last couple called was myself
and mv partner, Everett Clarke.
I had fortunately the experience of
three girls who had shown rudeness
and had resolved when my turn came
to show myself a lady. I threw n kiss
to the partner who had been provided
for me.

In addition to the cat and dog supplying mankind with fleas
they also carry disease germs, kill birds, and render themselves
nuisances by their night noises.
Within the next twelve montns tnere win nave ueeii
born, in these United States, between 50,000,000 and 100.
000,000 kittens, for whom tnere is absolutely no place. In ad
dition, some millions more of grown cats will be no longer wanted
as pets. Some of these will be killed promptly and mercifully
by their owners or by the municipal authorities. The rest will die
also, but their dying will be long drawn out. ' Meanwhile, sundry
thousands of sick and hard worked human beings will be robbed
of sleep by "the song without tune;" and sundry other thous
thousands of cherished pets, together with some hundreds of
children, will take various infections diseases. Altogether
there will be involved an amount of utterly profitless distress,
such as has no place in any rational world.
It all comes about because we, the public, do not see to it
that our own cats are either decently cared for or else' decently
killed. We are superstitious persons, who fear "ill luck or we
are sentimentalists, Who, rather than behold the least discomfort,
will perpetrate any amount of misery which we are too stupid to
lmaBThere probably are a million cats in Greater New York
a hundred thousand of them homeless. It is estimated that
in any ordinary city, the number of cats, wild and tame to
gether, is not far from the number of voters. This is true of
of all cities and towns.
This is of course, not true for all seasons of the year.
These numbers at least doub'e themselves during the spring
and summer, when the kittens are arriving. Then, during the

But, after all, how little any body knows concerning the re-

not even suspect any connection between animals and I malaria,yel-

at least is sure; whatever human maladies are transmitted from
cats, the feline population of a large city-part of it in inti-
mate relations to mankind, and part of it a prey to every possible
ill offers an ideal condition for spreading an epidemic. fcven
where we cannot absolutely prove any relation between a sick
child and a deserted cat, we may well err on the S1de of mercy

ADHESIVE POSTAGE STAMPS.
The First Crude Ones That Were l
ued by Great Britain.
The adhesive postage stamp had Its
origin in Knaland as a direct outcome
of the postal reforms Introduced by
Sir Itowlaud Hill, whose master mind
created not only the inestimable boon
of penny postage, but the means by
which it was carried Into effect tile
adhesive postage stamps.
At the time of the passing of the
uniform penny postage net in IN.'!! nil
postal charges were paid in cash uisu
ally on deliveryi. involving an enor
mous amount of bookkeeping on tin
part of the postofflce. which would
have been increased a hundredfold
when the reduced rates of postage
came Into force but for the suggestion
of the great postal reformer for "a bit
of paper just large enough to bear the
stamp and coated at the back witn a
glutinous wash." being subsequently
embodied iu the famous one penny
black postage label and Its consort, the
twopence blue, which made their debut
iu May. 1S40. and were the progeuitors
of all adhesive postage stamps.
Kor three short years Uret Britain
enjoyed a monopoly of this novel and
handy method of collecting postage,
until in July. 1S-I3. the enlightened em
pire of Brazil followed suit with a
series of unprepossessing adhesive la
bels of native manufacture, iidorned

HOW TREES EAT.
They 8em to Digest Their Food Be
fore Absorbing It,
Every gardener knows that a tree
can be fed and made to grow with in
creased vigor. If proper nourishment
In the form of humus, nitrogen, phos
phate, etc., be placed about its roots
the tree will absorb this food and grow
ranidlv and strongly
But how the tree feeds Is somewhat
more difficult to explain. In all proD
abllltv the tree digests its food Hrst
and consumes it afterward. Certain It
is that the average tree has no means
cf consuming food us a whole, as mem
bers of the animal kingdom absorb it
It is well known that the larvae of
certain Insects digest their food first
and consume it afterward. Observa
tion would indicate that this is exactly
what the tree does The tiny rootlets
act on the substances In the earth, dis
solving and breaking them up so they
can be absorbed through the root pores.
In order so to be taken up the chemi
cals must be in liquid form nnd devoid
of all waste.
The end of each root Is armed with
a horny substance, with which It can
burrow through the hard soil In search
of food. When food is found it Is dts
solved Into a liquid and absorbed by
the root fibers., l-'rom the root the food
is carried by the sap to all parts of the
tree. St l.ouis (llolie-Democrat.

Widow Tyler, ali.mngh sh, had !ou
that for years and 3 ears. 1 he was al
ways referred to as Aunt Srali. he
was called queer and odd ; ml a u.lic
off iu her head, and mulling particular
happened to her till a brother di"d and
left her $1,000 iu cash, liven tielrnv
the money came into her hands e.-ei',.1
body was wondering what Aunt Sarah
would do with It. The lawyer who ar
ranged matters started iu to tell her of
a good Investment lu real estate, but
she cut him short with:
You tend to your business and I
will to mine!"
Several weeks nfter receiving her
money the woman walked Into the lo
cal bank one day and said she'd like to
look around. There wasn't much to
see outside of the brick vault with its
Irou door. According to the president,
the best ten burglars iu the country
couldn't get iuto that vault if left
aloue all day.
"It looks risky," she replied, "and 1
don't want to ruu no chances with my
thousand dollars."
The matter was gone over again and
again, and, though still unconvinced,
she finally decided to deposit her
money. Every morning she used to
walk down to the bauk to inquire if
anything had happened during the
night, and after this had become mo
notonous the president finally said:
"Look here. Aunt Sarah, you know
I've got mouey outside of this bank
and that I'm a man of my word. I
don't like to have you worrying about
your mouey. nnd I promise to give you
five times the amount if the place is
robbed."
I've alius heard of you as un honest
man." replied Aunt Sarah, "but if you
put that in writin' 1 shan't worry so
much."
It was put in writing and duly wit
nessed, and for a few weeks the wo
man felt easier In her mind. One day
a stranger came to town with a patent
churn. Aunt Sarah happened to be in
the house of a neighbor when he cull
ed, and half an hour later she went
down to the bauk to say to the presi
dent:
You lust keen your eyes open. I
never seen a bank burglar In all my
life, but If that feller with the churn
ain't one then I don't know black from
white!"
She had been told that hank burglars
generally began operations about mid
night. At midnight that night she lef
her house and took a walk down to tin
bank. She fully expected to find tin
doors standing wide open and a wag
on backed up to the curb and wa:
rather disappointed when she made no
discovery. After a look around she re
turned home, but on her way she said
to herself:
"I shan't give It up this way. I know
that churu man Is a bank burglar, am
If he ain't burglarizin' tonight It's be
cause he ain't ready. I'll come again
tomorrer night."
That was what she did, and although
disappointed again she was there on
the third night at the same hour. This
time she met with better luck. The
rear of the bank was on an alley, and
as Aunt Sarah quietly appeared she
discovered a man crouched under one
of the windows. The Iron bars which
had protected it had been filed and
wrenched off, and a barrel had been
rolled up to give somebody a lift into
the opening.
All of a sudden, without planning it
at all, the woman sprang forward with
a scream, or a succession of them.
The man In the alley uttered a shout
of alarm and fled at the top of his
speed, and as he went clattering away
a man who bad been working inside
the bank appeared at the window and
jumped for the barrel beneath. He
landed on it. but It went over and
gave him a fling, nnd when he came
down on the cobblestones of the alley
his hip was broken and he lay help
less. Aunt Sarah's screams brought
sleepy watchman, and he soon had
half the town out of their beds,
When the bank president reached
the scene after a run of five blocks
the first person to salute him was Aunt
Sarah, and she called out:
"Didn't I tell you so! I knowed this
bank would be robbed some day. I've
got your written agreement, and now
vou'll hand me out them So.OOO!
The bank president tried to crawl
out of his agreement by claiming that
the bank hadn't actually been robbed,
but Aunt Sarah had a lawyer, brought
him to time, nnd he paid her $;,000,
A public purse of $1,000 was made up
for her, and when she had the snug
little fortune In her possession she de
termined to he her own banker in fu
ture. With a watchdog, a bear trap,

SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS.
They Serve Other Purpose Th Re.
cording Earthquakes.
Contrary to popular belle, earth-
quakes are by no means rare occur
rences. As a matter of fact, practically
all places on the surface of ihe earth .
experience some kind or tremor or
shake at least ooce an hour, and lesser
tremblings are even more frequent.
This fact bas been established since
the opening throughout the world of
stations where seismographs recotol the
slit-jtest movement of this earth of
ours.
The seismographs can be made to
ferve several other usenu iuiioes
besides the recording of earthquakes.
Some of them are so delicate that a
railroad train running a tulle away will
affect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced iu court to show that the
operation of heavy machinery prodn -ed
sufficient vibration In near by imiiuings
to make the owners of the factory lia
ble for damages.
I'robablv the most unusual purpose
to which the seismograph has ever
been put is that of determining the
amount of vibration in a locomotive as
a result of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingen
ious methods of cutting down this vi
bration, which means a greatly de
creased consumption of coal -New.

CHINESE HUMOR.
Illustrated by a Story of the Hospi

That the Chinese are possessed of a
keen sense of humor Is shown ny the
following anecdote which is related In
the Spirit of the Knst .Magazine:
There were two men who hart been
friends from their school days line
lived in the town, the other In the
country. After a separation insuim n
whole year, the countryman decided
to pay a visit to Ins trientl the towns
man The latter irave him a hearty
welcome, hut the repast he furnished
(insisted merely of two bowls of rice

"What n I'ity.' he said with a great
sigh, that you nine so early! If yon
had oidy waited for another year, my
friend, we should have had fowl fot
our dinner, as this egg would have de
veloped into a chicken!'
Not long afterward the townsman
returned the visit. I'or his entertain
meut the countryman cut a hard piece
of bamboo rod into small pieces, salt
ed them, roasted them in fat and serv

" 'What a pity.' he ejaculated, 'you
came so late! If you had only come

Few Beds In Bagdad.
About per cent of Bagdad's pop
ulation possess no beds. These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors of their houses In the winter
and on the roofs In she summer. Owing
to tbe excessive heat of these regions
sleep is made Impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens. It Is an Interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there Is little to
fear from exposure to the night air.
While a considerable number of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount of privacy,
by far the larger number are quite ex
posed to the gaze of cnrlous and in
quisitive neighbors.

does not know that his play, "The Sa
btnes," was allotted a prize In a
dramatic competition as long ago as
1857. He was a member or ine uouuu
Table of the good King Max of Bava
ria, a sovereign whose Joy It was to
surround himself with men of science
and letters.-rall Mall Gazette.
She Was Exact.
"I am sorry to learn your mother is

"Is she sick abed?"
"Well, not quite." replied the truth
