Sing a sang of silver,
Poorest kind of money,
Dollars worth but fifty cento.
Wouldn't they look funny f
When the silveritea get in
Prices will be high,
Everybody kicking then
When they go to buy.

What ia to be done

Just a little bit ashamed
Of the silver sham?
lui-eioa Superstition.
Although nominally converted to
Christianity in the same century as the
Irish, the Sein islanders continued many
of the practices of Druidism down to
quite modern times. In the seventeenth
century, when Pere Mannoir undertook
their reconversion, the paganism of the
old Celtic "world was still strong upon
this rock. It was after his mission that
the church was built. Even now there is
a current of Druidism that runs side by
side or mingles with the fervent Chris
tianity of the people. They imagine that
they hear their dead speaking to them
by the voices of the waves, and the
fancied messages that they thu3 receive
from disembodied spirits tinge their in
terpretation of tbe doctr:no of the com
munion of souls sanctioned by their mis
sionaries with a superstitious mysticism
that is. only tolerated by the Roman
Catholic clergy, bocanso any violent at
tempt to correct it might do more harm
than good.
This habit cf living with the dead
and looking forsign3 from them is to be
especially observed among the women,
who fall so under the sway of it that
most of the time that many of them
spend in prayer is in the cemetery, not
in the church. The men attach great
importance 10 birds as omens of weather.
There is a beautiful sea bird with black
and white plumage and an orange col
ored beak, shaped much like a parrot's,
which in their belief always brings fine
weather. The notion is probably war
ranted by the bird's habits, but the
name which they give it; Doueic, .."lit
tle god," is a distinct legacy of pagan'

In the investigation of the influence
of music on man and animals Professor
Tarchanoff of St. Petersburg used the
ergograph of Mosso and found that, if
the fingers were completely fatigued,
music had the power of making the fa
tigue disappear. It appeared that music
of a sad and lugubrious charaoter had
the opposite effect and cculd check or
inhibit the contractions. The author is
inclined to suppose that the voluntary
muscles, being furnished .with escito
motor and depressant fibers, act in ref
erence to . tiie music similarly to. the
heart that is, joyful music resounds
along, the -'excitomotor .fibers and sad
music along the depressant or inhibi
tory fibers.
Experiments on dogs sliovred .that
music was capable of increasing the
elimination of carbonic acid by 16. 7 per
cent, and of increasing the consumption
of oxygen by 20. 1 per cent. It was also
found -that music increases the func
tional activity of the s:rin. The author
claims as the result f his experiments
that music may fairly be regarded as a
serious therapeutic agent, and that it
exercises a genuine and considerable in
fluence over the functions of the body.

"How Would That Help You?"
Free coinage would make the silver
mine owners rich. How would that help
yon?
Fifty cent dollars will enable debtors
to pay their creditors in depreciated
money. As you are an houest citizen,
how wcuid that help you? ,
The adoption of the silver standard,
which is what the free coiiu'se advocates
really want, would drive C00,000,000
of gold out of the country. How would
that help you?
Putting the couutry on a silver basis
would double the price of everything
you buy. How would that help you?
The first result of free coinage would
be a widespread panic, through the call
ing in cf leans by lenders who were
afraid of cheap mouey. A panic means
business depression, bankruptcy and
poverty. How would that help yon?
The agitation for cheap money is
hampering trade and industry by mak
ing owners of idle capital afraid to in
vest their money in business. How does
that help you?
If you have money in the savings
bank, or loaned out at interest, the val
ue of your depositor loan will under
free silver be only half of what it is
now. How will that help you?
Adopting the silver standard of China
and India would unsettle our trade rela
tions with the leading commercial na
tions, which are all gold standard coun
tries, and would diminish our foreign
commerce. How would that help you?
The Tea Habit. 1
"The tea habit is growing on the law
abiding people of this peaceful com
munity, ' says the Philadelphia Record.
"The victims drink this beverage as the
hardened drunkard drinks whisky. This
is the opinion of a local physician of
prominence, who has made a study of
the matter. "The intoxicating effects of
tea,' said he, 'are not appreciated as
fully as they should be. Cheap or im
properly brewed tea is known to have
caused many functional derangements
of the grayest character. Many of the
victims, not knowing that their troubles
are due to tea drinking, sutler from
headache, md often from persistent diz
i ziness and indigestion. Despondency
and palpitation of the he.ut are also
among the complaints. Lastly, that
dread enemy of every man, insomnia,
has many victims among iho lot. These
are certainlv a batch of troublesome
symptoms of which any . pcrrrieious drug
should be proud. There if a great dif
ference in the physiological ei.ect of tea5
on the system. 'When it has been used
to excess for a considerable period, well
defined symptoms supervene." -There can
be added to the list already given hal
lucinations, -nausea, anorexia, prostr"
ticn and anxiety and a peculiar kind ux
intoxication, ending, t;i!ter hours of
Vigil, in a torpor from exhaustion.' "
The Public Mind.
J Let but the public ruind once become
I thoroughly corrupt, and all attempts to
I secure property, liberty or life, by mere
I force of laws written on parchment, will
be as vain as to put up printed notices
in an orchard to keep off canker worms.
