In an article on “Why the Confeder acy Fuiled,’’ contributed to the Novem ber Century, by the son of a Confeder ate officer, the first cause is laid to the excessive issue of paper money. He says: “The government acted on the theory that all it had to do to raise money was to print it They did not seem to realize that, being the largest purchaser in tho market, it was nec essary for the government to keep down prices as much as possible; that every issue of bills must inevitably raise prices and render a new issue necessary; that every rise in prices must be followed by a new issue, until the bublc must collapse of its own ex pansion and redundancy.” Don’t Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Lite Away.

New Idea of Telegraphy. From San Francisco Examiner. Col. Belion of the French artillery observed not long ago that if a tele phone was in sufficient proximity to, although not in actual contact with, a telegraph line, it would be influenced by the current of the latter. Certain sounds were produced in the telephone whenever a message passed along the telegraph line. He has now succeeded by long con tinued experiments in perfecting a sys tem showing the phonetic impression produced by each letter of the Morse alphabet, thus enabling anyone with some practice to read by the sound of the telephone any message circulating in a neighboring'line. It will be read ily understood that this discovery may be of great importance in war time, as in this way a telegraph line might be tapped without in any way interfering with the current circulating in it, and bcnce without the slightest indication to tue stations connected by the line. The ltutter and Calico Ratio. Cost determines price. When the two metals were at a parity before at 153i to 1, Germany and Austria were on a silrer basis, and the mints of In dia were open and the Latin Union and the United States were bimetallic. By and by the silver began to be mined at less cost, better processes, struck rich er veins of ore and the price of silver tell. We cannot keep butter* in the rela tion to calico which it bore fifty years ago. We remember when butter was at 5 to 1 as compared to calico; but to day calico is at 5 to 1 as compared to butter. The changed ratio of butter to calico is due to the fact that the la bor of man now has more to do with producing a pound of butter than with producing a yard of calico Steam and water power now weave cloth, but they cau’t weave cows. — Lewiston Journal.

Though pale olive and other shades of green are much used for wall cover ings of paper and in woven stuffs, as well as for draperies.they should never be decided upon until they are seen by artificial light, as some of the shades ' of olive that are rich and beautiful by light of day, have a gloomy brown shade that no amount of artificial light will change. Helpful to the Kyes. A simple and excellent plan to strengthen and preserve the eyes is to to follow this rule: Kvery morning pour some cold water into a bowl, at the bottom of the bowl place a silver coin or some other bright object, and then put your face in the water with the eyes open and move your head gently from side to side. This will make the eyes brighter and stronger. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts— gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms ox sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the faet. that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle. which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any aetual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed every* gere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely toed and gives most general satisfaction. THE MINISTER'S WIFE (coj!<x,t;*bd.) It was not the reputation of the Rev. Silas Ormsb.v that drew so large an at tendance at the little church on the next Sabbath. Curiosity led most of those who wore bonnets and crinoline thither, and it was gratified to the ut most, for In his very first prayer the old gentleman uttered a devout and earnest supplication for the pastor of the congregation, who at that very mo ment, perhaps, took "unto himself the solemn obligation of married life. Might Heaven give him strength, and bless him and his young and pious wife, etc. It was a prayer worth list ening to, but the ladies of Appleblow heard nothing after the word wife. They were lost in astonishment; and hurried out of church, after the bene diction, with indecent haste, to discuss the affair by their own firesides. And on Monday, when it was known by all that black Betty, the charwoman of the place, was engaged to scrub and scour the parsonage; that an Ingrain carpet had been sent down from New York for the parlor floor, and that a tea-set bad arrived in a box, marked “this side up. with care,” the certainty of the as tonishing fact became established, and Appleblow joined in denouncing Mr. Redlaw as a despicable flirt. “And,” said the plump mamma of the nine scraggy Misses Fish, “of all men. a minister should blush to earn such a reputation. Nobody would believe the attention he has paid my girls. I couldn’t tell which one of ’em he want ed, he was so particular to all of ’em.” Other mammas said much the same, and during the afternoon a procession of “help” might have been seen on the road leading to the cottage, carrying white paper parcels containing princi pally small volumes—“Practical Pi ety,” “Baxter’s Saint’s Rest,” tracts and hymn-books, presents from Walter Redlaw to the sisters of his flock, now returned with indignation. The ex citement lasted all the week, and was still strong on the next Sabbath when the minister walked up the church aisle with a beautiful girl upon his arm, and the Appleblow girls looked upon a face so exquisite that none of them could resort to the usual course of declaring her "not the least good looking.” They were decorous and prudent in Appleblow, and all the forms of cour tesy were gone through with. The new minister’s wife was invited out to tea, was called upon by the ladies of her flock, and was favored with a donation party; neverthless, there was little cor dial feeling in Appleblow. The ladies did not take kindly to their pastor's wife and soon the clouds began to gather. At first, in secret whispers, Mrs. Redlaw’s bonnet was too gay, she was frivolous, not a good housekeeper, not zealous in good works. By-and-by louder, more serious fault-finding, not only with the minister’s wife, but with the minister himself. The women began it; the men were talked over by their wives; finally the first step was taken. 'Squire Gorse and his family gave up their pew, and found themselves more edified by the Baptist clergyman in the next village; others followed their example. The fault-finding and slander reached the parsonage itself and little Rosa Red law, with her head upon her husband’s shoulder, sobbed: “What shall I do, Walter? I meant to help you, and to make them all like me, and you see how it is.” And the young clergyman soothed his weaping wife and bade her have good cheer, for matters would mend, and all would be right again. He was mistaken; matters did not mend; they grew worse and worse; and, a year from the date of his marriage, came to a climax. A bevy of trustees waited upon him in his study, and bemoaned their wrongs. They paid a large sal ary: they expected the pastor to do his part, and he lost them money—abso lutely had emptied the church, in stead of filling it. Besides, his wife should have been instructed in her duty. She had made herself generally disliked; if the minister’s wife was not popular, it was a very unpleasant thing. Could he explain? ur course the visit ended as they ex pected; there was but one consumma tion possible; Appleblow knew, in a day or so, that their pastor was about to leave the place forever. The winter had set in—an unhealthy winter, warm and moist, instead of cold and bracing. Rumors of prevail ing ill health spread over Appleblow, and the minister packing his books in his study, came to hear of them. They grew louder. Whole families of chil dren sickened and lay low, and a droad cry arose—“It is the smallpox!’’ One day Walter Redlaw left his home to perform the burial service over the graves of three children of one family. The next their mother called him to the bedside of her husband, to see him also die. And with these deaths, the horrors of that time, never to be forgotten by any who dwelt there, then began in earnest. Men. women, and children sickened with the loathsome pestilence. Horror seized those yet unsmitten, and they j fled. Appleblow became a great lazar- i house, and Walter Redlaw said to his ! young wife: “Let us go quickly, dear ! one, before the scourge falls upon our household.” ' But she, as she spoke, left her seat, j and knelt before him. resting her head ! upon his breast, as he still sat before j their evening fire, in a child-like fash- j ion, all her own, and. as he sheltered i her upon his bosom, whispered: "My | husband, do not bid me go, for I must stay here and do all I can—watch with them.nurse them, strive to comfort the bereaved. I should indeed be all they think of me, if I, their pastor’s wife, fled at such an hour.” The man listened at first unconvinc ed. “Wo owe them nothing,” he said; "they have used us shamefully. Re member, I am actually their pastor no longer." But his wife gently pleaded; pleaded to stay midst the danger, to aid him in the duties which would fall to him amidst the sick and dying; and, touch ing hi3 heart and soul by her sweet Christian spirit, brought him at last to say: “You shall have it as you choose, Rosa; we will stay amidst this hard.heathened-hearted people in their hour of trial; but, God sparing us, we will leave them when it is over, and go elsewhere.” And Rosa Redlaw rejoiced and thanked him. But bye-and-byc a natural womanly dread came into her heart, and she looked at him with tears in her dark eyes. “Walter,” she whis pered, blushing as she spoke, “you have often called me beautiful. Should 1 lose that beauty, could you love me still? Should this pestilence, falling upon me, scar and mar my face, would I be as dear to you? Speak truly, darling." But he had no need to speak, for she read the constancy and purity of his love in the one long look he gave her, and sobbed upon his shoulder—“Nay, then, I shall have no fear.” At dawn the two went forth upon their mission. In their selfish horror, kinsfolk fled ! from each other. Sisters shrunk from those who had been nursed at the same breast, children deserted their parents, friends grew brutal to each other; but those two young creatures never swerved from their appointed task; like ministering angels, they went from house to house, aiding the over tasked physician, supporting the moth er's failing courage, coming to the lonely and deserted in their greatest need. Sometimes they were together, but more frequently apart, there was so much to do. When they could, they met at night in the old parsonage; but often dying couches or sick beds, where lives hung in the balance, kept them separated for several days. But their hearts and prayers followed each other always. It was a trying time, but they were very brave and faithful. Some of those who had been most cruel to Rosa Red law were her patients now, and lay helpless as infants while she fanned the flickering flame of life within their bosoms. • When, save for her, no friend had watched beside the couch of loath some disease; when in the death-room, pestilence-haunted, she sat all night and watched: when her own hands robed the dead infant for its last sleep, and it was known to all what mission she had taken upon herself, wonder filled the village, and in a lit tle while there arose to Heav en so many prayers for Rosa Red law and her husband that, had the Mohammedan belief been true, they need have had no dread of the “burn ing path,” it must have been paved so thickly. And in time, though that day was slow in coming, the pestilence began to abate, and health came to Appleblow again, with the sharp frosts and keen cold air of the Christmas time. On Christmas day joy-bells were rung from the steeples in Appleblow, to tell the people that the rod was lifted. But before night sad news ran through the village. She who had watched with them, who had been so tender and so faithful, who had pass ed through those fearful scenes when the pestilence was at its worst, as though she wore a charmed life, was smitten, now that she was no longer needed. The shutters of the parsonage were closed, the windows darkened, silence as of death reigned throughout its rooms, for the angel of the house lay trembling on the margin of the grave. Another pastor preached’ this Sabbath in Appleblow, and all knew well why he was there. Walter Redlaw watched beside his darling’s bed, and never left it day or night. Penitential tears fell in Appleblow that Sabbath; prayers went up to Heaven for the pastor’s fair young wife, and the angels heard them, and heard also those of the young husband, and bore them through the gates of Heaven, and sang them to celestial mu sic at the foot of the Throne, telling how good she was, and how true, and so fit for heaven that it were a mercy to less perfect mortals to let her stay on earth. -wiu me .uuso nigu listened. i ne death angel's wings Hung their shadow on the portal of the parsonage, but did not pass it; and, pale and feeble, but with life still strong in her young breast, for she clung to her husband with all a woman's earnestness, and loved earth for his sake, Rosa Redlaw lay at last free from the burning fe ver, certain to live—so the old doctor said, with tears in his gray eyes. But was she sure of her soft, child like beauty, of her pearly skin, of her golden hair, of her blight blue eyes? God alone could tell. But Walter, bending over her. thought of the prom ise he had made her on the day when she entered on her task of peril and self-denial, and knew, knowing how dear she was to him, that no change in his darling's beauty could change his love. And into the darkened room, health came, bringing balm; and the sun shone in again, and the soft air breath ed through the lattice, and the birds sang in their golden cages and the housemaid in her kitchen, where she made dainty messes for the convales cent; and there came a Sabbath at last when Rosa was well enough to go to church with her husband. Appleblow knew it, and the church was full, and out upon the grass in the churcj-ytni groups were fcM'iered, girls and toys, young married couples, old foka who hail seen their grand children grow to be men and women and die. And, waiting in the morning sunlight of a pleasant winter day, they saw their pastor coming along the frost-hardened road with his wrfe upon his arm. They came nearer, and they saw how frail her form had grown: but still her veil was down, and they could not see her face until standing amongst them, she put It back, and then—yes. breaths were held, and all eyes riveted upon those features; and there was a hush, unbroken, until a child's voice, clear as dropping silver, arose upon the air: “Oh, mother, look; the lady is Just as beautiful as ever." And then, thoush it was Sunday, and in New England, and beside a church,a cheer aroscupon the air, and men tossed their caps on high, and women sobbed; she sobbed also, beautiful Rosa Redlaw, thanking God for all his love, and thanking Him also, as a woman must, that He had not taken from her the charms In which her husband took such tender pride, and of which, for his sake more than for her own, she was also just a little proud, though she had laid that pride aside, knowing well her danger, when she went forth upon her mis sion. They never spoke against the min ister’s wife after that in Appleblow. Amongst them she lived and moved as might some loving queen, and dwelt In the old parsonage, beautified as the temple of some saint might have been, until her youth changed to maturity and her maturity to age; and there you may see her yet, and her husband also, though his hair, like hers, is of frosted silver. And his grandson fills the pul pit. for Appleblow loves the race of Redlaw, and will not part with them. Hail Many OITem. Africa Is the greatest place in the world for the new woman and the old maid. For the former it has its charmo that would put the Bois de Boulogne In a total eclipse, and for the old maids it is a tropical paradise, where young, unmarried men, bloom in wild, tangled luxury the year around. Mrs. May French Sheldon, the African explorer, writer and lecturer, Is neither a new woman nor and old maid, and yet she had Blxty proposals of marriage in one day from sixty separate and distinct chiefs, each of whom was more stalwart and ardent than the others, and Mrs. French Shel don was compelled to give each separ ately the marble heart. And as for the new woman, why, the African ex plorer says they can give our brand newest bloomer-rigged species any number of cards and spades and then discount them. Bebe Bwana, the woman master, or the white queen man, as the merry sultans and dusky chiefs called Mrs. French Sheldon, has penetrated farther Into the mysterious heart of that dark continent than any other white woman has ever done, and the other day she told a reporter a number of Interesting experiences which she had among the many tribes she visited. The sixty offers of marriage were made one afternoon after she had form ally received the sultan of one of the Interior districts in her tent—which tent, by the way, Mrs. French Sheldon always arranged as near like a boudoir In a well-appointed private house as was possible. She was the first white woman who had ever invaded that district and the sultan appreciated the honor and in his poor weak way tried to give a sort of torchlight procession and strawberry festival in her honor. His resources, however, were extreme ly limited, and after he had sacrificed a double portion of goats and had salaamed before her until he was threatened with curvature of the spine he felt that something was still lac-k ing and that his guest was not thor oughly enjoying herself. Suddenly a happy thought struck him. Whenever a straggling white man had wandered in to his preserves it had been his cus tom to unload sixty or eighty wives upon him and then dismiss him with a sultanic "Bless you, my children." Why not reverse the ceremony with the woman master? he argued to his secretary of state for war. The secre tary thought It was a capital idea and the chiefs of all the tribes or assembly districts were ordered before his ma jesty and ordered to propose to the Bele Bwana at once. (treat Tide Waves. I hope who see the rise anil fall of the tides in our Atlantic harbors sel dom think of the wonderful career of the moon-raised ocean-waves which cause the tidal flux and reflux. Such billows not only cross the sea, but flow from ocean to ocean, and in this way complicated movements are set going. Thus, as Mr. Vaughan Cornish has re cently reminded English readers, once in every twelve hours the moon raises a tide billow in the southern Indian Ocean. When this billow passes the Cape of Good Hope, at noon, its succes sor is already born, and by the time the first billow has reached the Azores Islands, at midnight, the second is rounding the Cape, and a third has come into existence in the southern ocean. By 4 o'clock in the morning following its passage of the Capa the tide billow readies the English Chan nel and there the shallow water de lays it so much that it does not arrive at the Straits of Dover until 10 a. m. Here the narrowing Channel causes th<> tide to rise very high and almost puts an end to the wave. In the meantime another branch of the billow runs around the western side of the British Islands, rounds the north point of Scot land, and moves slowly down the east- ; ern coast of England, until it finally ! flows up the Thames and laps the , wharves of London.
