A STRAW,
The announcement from London
that a meeting had been held of, in
fluential landholders,- with such per
sons as the Duke of Argyll, the Earl
of Carnarvon, and the Marquis 'of
Ripon, for the formation of a large
companyy to be called "The National
Land Company, for thei purpose of
securing the gradual breaking up of
the large landed estates, tou buy up
the land atwholesale andsell it out.
in tracts not larger than forty acres,
under conditions likely tol cause fur
ther sub-divisiori and present aggre
gation of title. .The company : pro
poses to buy for cash and sell on the
installment plan, payable , ': in ten
years ; This movement is( indicative
of the force of popular sentiment on
the land question in Great Britain,
but also of the impression it has
made upon , the landholders them
selves. The agitation has begun, it
is growing stronger year ifter year,
and it will never be' quieted until
those great estates be taken ; up and
parceled out among the, people. It
is a wise movement, too, ' on the part
of the land owners, for they will get
full value for their lands,, which they
might not . get when the ! agitation
grows strong enough to1 demand the
lands at a price fixed by others than
the owners, or perhaps only at such,
price as the revolutionist .might be
willing to pay that is nothing. " In
that very land question is today En
gland's danger, for if these immense
estates are to remain as they are the
the result will be revolution, and pos
sibly a Republic on the ruins of the
monarchy, which now has no charms
for the great mass of the' English
people, and year by :year is; growing
less popular; With the elective fran
chise extending thd independence of
thought and expression , that are
growing daily stronger, the free ut7
terances of the press, and the general
spread, of independent , ideas, old
forms are disappearing, and the awe
that crowned beads ones inspired has
ceased to be. The English people are
beginning to regard a monarch as
somewhat of a superfluity and they
tolerate aroyal ; family not beqause
they like it, . but because it is one
of those relics of past ages j handed
down to them that they haven't both
ered themselves thinking much about
of late. ' But the royalj family is an
expensive institution which 'returns
no equivalent in the way qC use or
service rendered for what jticosts to
keep them up in the style 1 in which
they live. -j j
Should war come between England
and Russia, and that war assume the
proportions it in all probability will,
the British government and the aris
tocracy who assume the right! to gov
ern will find t it i necessary to make
many concessions to the people that
in time of peace '.' might , be1', 'esisted
long and vigorously. ' It is pe -haps a
recognition of the possibility'pf some
thing of this kind that . inspir :s this
timely action on the partof tl ese in

The entire gold yield of the countrv
from tho foundation of the eovern-
ment to the close of 1847, according
to tne estimate or Tor. J. L. Whit
neyT- the eminent geologic mineralo
eist and statistician, was onlv 13.
243,47&V On thel9thdayof January,
1B48. tne first ot Ualirorma's gold de
posits, was discovered on J the Ameri
can orancn or tne Haeramento , river
by James W. MarshalL .Then began
the prodigious . growth which culrnis
nateain tne proauctionot 65,000,000
in ..value in 1853, which marked the
maximum gold yield of the United
States in a single year. Immense as
this aggregate was, however,, it was
surpassed by Australia, the product
or wnose gold mines in 1852 reached
the stupendous sum of $102,000,000, a
record wnicn stands witnout a paral
lel in the mining annals o( any single
nation in the world. - The yolume of
production in the United States since
1853 has fluctuated, although to a
comparatively limited extent so far
as regards any two or three' consecu
tive years, but the tendency Ijas been
generally downward. ; While the
average yield of the past twenty-six
-years nas been aoout f 4,000,000, the
average of the last five years has been
a little.less than $33,000,000.' . ,
The remarkable growth in. the pro
duction of silver in the couptry is also
clearly and impressively (shown in
the tables referred to. . Th? yield was
so insignificant that etatis. tics of , ita
output were not kept until! 1840, and
not until ten years later did .the an
nual prpductioii excegdi $50000 in
value. The discovery of the.Com-
stocki lode in Nevada took phce in
1859, anid froni that year onward the
increase, in product has been steady
and rapid. Bounding front a yield of
$150,D0Q "in I860 to one of !$2, 000,000
in 1801; its annual growth' in the suc
ceeding three years wasurageometri?
oal ratio.- The output in 1884 was the
largest yet mined, i How long .this
increase; is to continue' ips lot course
impossible to predict at' present with
any hope of accuracy ; but it is' rea
sonably certain thac the J limit of
growth in yield has not yet ' been
reached The average production of
the past -twenty-six years was" $25,h
000,000, whIe tne average of the last
three years was noartyf; twice as
great. ' , " "-
, From an industrial and commercial
point of view the discovery :oE silver
in. Nevada was, of course, jof much
benefit to the United States. f and in a
lesser degree to the world.; jBut this
nas been-neutralized m some degree
by its ' evil effects on the! world's
finances ; It enormously increased
the supply without leading to a pro
portionate growth in the jdemand.
Prices of silver fell, and the ratio be
tween that metal and gold, which had
buusibieu praciicauy uncnapgea ior
over half a century, was broken, to
the great injury of nations using the
silver or- the mixed silver ' and aold
monetary standard. As a consequence
Germany demonetized silver! in 1872.
and the Latin union nations soon
afterward closed their mints - to its
coinage." The United States In 1878
attempted to sustain the" price by
passing a law compelling the -governs:
ment to purchase $2,000,000 worth of
it every month. Just how well it has
succeeded may be shown byj stating
tnat wmie in 1877 444.07 . grains of
standard silver at its market value
in London would be equivalent to tl
of the American standard of fineness,
it would require about 481 grains of
silver to purchase the same amount
of gold in the same market today.
ic would not be easy., however, to
overestimate the offect on theiworld's
trade and civilization by the immense
increase in' gold productiori which
began with the discoveries of the rich
deposits off California and Australia.
In the period which has elapsed-eince
that time the output of the mines of
those two.places- alone, according to
the most' reliable data, has-reached
$2,550,000,000, ,a ; sum mUtfhj larger
than was possessed by all the hations
of the world, so far as the molt'oarev
ful - investigation has been Able" to
ascertain, at.the close of 18471" And

San Francisco Chronicle. .,
There is visiting in San Francisco a
very, learned Mohammedan named
Gopal Vinayak Joshee. He recently
arrived irom liombay and has at
tracted considerable attention on the
streets by his huge Oriental; turban
of many .folds, which.- he,! wears cons

cially remarkable about his costume.
Mr.tVinayak is not only a philoso-.
pher and scholar in hisi owntlan

with European arrairs and ; customs,
and, withal, speaks English with ex
ceptionable accent and. wonderful
fluency.: , Yesterday afternoon being

, He said his own idea .was that igno
rant wives were much preferable to
educated ones, as ,theyrhde much
better slaves; that is, they performed
their, duties with greater content

continually opposing their own views
to those of their husbands, thus
pausing, the dissension so frequently
seen in more enlightened households.

At this point Miss Hunt, one of the
teachers present, asked him if it were
not true that he had an educated wife
now in Philadelphia studying medi
cine. To this he naively answered.
Yes," and . joined heartily in the
storms of laughter that followed. He
said that he was fully qualified to
speak, and that "in his opinion the
uneducated women made the best
wives. He explained that there were
a few very intelligent and finely ac
complished ladies in India who had
received. then eduqation trpm the
government schools established by
the English throughout the country,

Pastcni's RrsnarcDes iu Germ Lite and
the 'theory they Have Established.
Prof. Tyndall In Popular Science Monthly. ;
Pasteur had little difficulty in es
tablishing the parasitic origin of fowl
cholera; indeed, the parisite had been
observed by others before hiuu But
bv his successive cultivations he ren-
dered the solution sure. His next
step will remain forever- memorable
in the history of medicine. , I allude
to what he calls "virus attenuation."
And here it may be well to thrown
out a few remarks in advance When
a tree or a bundle of wheat or barley
straw is burned a certain amount of
mineralmatter remains in the ashes
extremely small ' in comparison
with, the bulk of the tree or of the
straw,' but absolutely essential to its
growth. In a soil lacking for ex-
bausted ol the necessary i mineral
constituents, the tree cannot live, the
crop cannot grow. Now, cbntagia
are living things, which demand cer
tain elements of life just as inexora
ble as trees or wheat or barley; and
it ia not difficult to see that a crop of
a given parasite mav so far use-up &
constituent existing in -small quanti
ties in the boby, but essential; to the
growth of the parasite, as to render.
the body unfit for the production of
a second crop. The sou is mexhaust-
ed, and until the lost constituent is
restored the body is protected irom
any further attack of the same dis-.
order;" Such an explanation ot nonv
recurrentldiseases naturally presents
useu to a tnorougu ueuever iu tne
eerm theorv. and such was, the solu-
ioh'which, in reply to a question, I
ventured to offer nearly fifteen; years
aga to an eminent London phy$ician.;
To exhaust a soil, however, a parasite
less;L.vigorous and destructivef than
the, really, virulent one may suffice;
and if after having by means- of a
feebler organism exhausted the soil
.wtthout-fatal result, thJ most highly
virulent parasite oe lntroauceu into
the system, it will prove powerless.
This, in the language of the 'germ
theory, is the whole secret of vadci

"Madam On the 29th of last May a boy child
well developed In every respect was bcrn.in this
city, bnt the "King of Terrors" began! to chisel.!
aDout its uttie heart, and notwithstanding Its
plump and vigorous constitution the poison n the
blood soon began to manifest itself In j What the
medical men term 'Eczema,' 'Pupuraor 'Heredi
tary Taint' Some old 'mothers concluded the.
child had the "yellow thrash.' Yet whatever the
disease It was certainly a stubborn master for the
doctors. - ; ' I t ,
The mother took the little sufferer to the coun
try, hoping that the pure fresh air might be bene
ficial, and Or. -4 of Lumberton, was 'called to
treat the case. He pronounced it Eczema, and did
all he could for It, but to no- purpose, any mora
than to check the fever to which the disease sub-
acted the boy. . , 1 .
"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to the city, and immediately Dr. was called
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pre
scribed accordingly, feeding up the disease on Iron
and other minerals until the babe's mouth be
came so sore that for two weeks It did not nurse,
A friend suggested as a last hope and resort
MES. JOB PERSON'S REMEDY.' K
"All means of procuring any more help or medi
cine had failed, and - In -ahls hour of deepest de
spair the poor mother went and asked her drug
gist to let her have one bottle and one package of
the Remedy, and was refused, because she old not
have the money to pay for It She pawned her
wedding ring and raised tl.60 to pay for the medi
cine. . :!' "
' "When she gave the child the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the Utile fellow was a mass of
scaly sores from the hips te the knees.and at seven
months old had never borne his weight on his feet.
To-duy, by the help of -od and a faithful adminis
tration of the Remedy the child Is weU and strong
In the legs, and last Sabbath morning while the
mother was weeping at the necessity of drying up
her breast, he took hold and nursed as strong and
vigorous a - ever. The administration . of the
Remedy is still kep up to eflect a complete cure.- ,
"Believing In its efficacy I have prevailed upon
Mrs. to take It for Inflammatory Rheuma
tism." .

ituch debility and general bad health that I had to
stop her from school in eonsequenoe. She was)
reduced in flesh, and her general health was giv
ing away. After trying various treatments without
effect, I concluded to use. Mrs. Joe Person's Rem--dy4
