In Algeria there is a small stream which the chemistry of nature has converted into red ink. It is formed by the union of two rivulets, one of which Is strongly impregnated with iron, while the other, meanding through a peat marsh, imbibes gallic acid, another ingredient in the formation of ink. Letters and manuscript matter are sat- isfactorily written Aith this sin gular natural compound of iron and gallic acid. A FINANCE CATECHISM. What is money ? Whatever the markets of the world decide. What is uv-ji! as currency? Gold and silver. Ilav these metals filwavs b so applied ? No. Australians once used stone ! slabs as the n.edium of exchange; Fejee Islanders used red feathers; Romans used oxen; female slaves served this purpose in Ireland be fore the Roman invasion; egg?, iron, tin, zinc all have been us cd in the process of evolution from the inferior to the superior article. Is then the medium ot currency a process of evolution? It is, most emphatically. The slow moving finger of Ti.ne has not changed its motion for a second since 1 70S, when England subordinated silver to gold. Why did she? Because she reached a higher level, and the world has not re ceded from that position. The more precious of the metals has i universal preference. In nrotest- iiifr aprninst fold vou nrotest against tifainst the forces of evolution. Is the. Sherman purchase law responsible for all our woes? It did not cause the Federal Rank of Australia and fourteen other gieat banks to failinlS93, nor the Barings tofail two years before. The Anglo-Saxon " had overdone the business o! the con- quering hero in distant lan hnf vvp nrr iirmiifwct innnhK tho primal ( distress cause of our own present How so Bv class legislation we turned from our shores the golden tide i of foreign capital, and forced itj ; to seek lodgment in bankrupt,! ! insolent, irresponsible and mi- prosperous countries. When did we hegm our m:s- t akes ? In 1S7S. W have been trving: set ourselves against the tide! which is running round the world ' the tide of a single standard.! It is useless as for King Canute to attempt to turn back the: ocean breakers, wlie. seated on the bench, lie ordered them toj stop. j Did our coinage of silver begin , inlSTS? ' j Yes. When we resumed gold ; payments in Januar 1S7S, we ; notified all the world that the I United States oi America would pay its debts in the money of the ! world. vhat was the consequence? The money of the world began to set our way. Who control the money of the world ? Primarilv the middle and poor- Switzerland. Holland and Ger many. It is not the money of, plutocrats that comes in blocks. . - . . . r tl It is tlie aggregation oi small savings. Did Yes. o!d come in rapidly ? The largest total was the fiscal year of 1SS1, when it reached a total of $97,-J-G0,127. , i ' o VI IUIL 13 tiUUC ll IIHBIIVIU. It built railroads, waterworks. improveel highways and largely elevcloped the great West, the verv States that now denounce the metal to which they are so deeply indebted. When did this golden tide cesser On June 30, 1S83, when it was ' rose to $109,005,000 and in 18- 85 it attained the colossal pro portions of $17S,000,000. What were the results ? Fuglish capitalists began to jpull out and they've been pulling out ever since. Is this the reason English gold went to the Argentine Republic? Precisely. The English wanted to be sure of gold payments. When those South American in vestments failed, their remaining American securities were thrown on our markets to save them selves frcim ruin. We almost broke our backs trying to ta e care of them. What would happen if we should repeal the Sherman law outright? The events of 1S79 would re peat themselves. Millions of dol lars would leave Europe for our shores. They would fill ail the veins of commerce. They would congest all the channels of circu lation. Would money be cheap? So cheap that you could bor row it in Xew York on good col lateral for less than two per cent per annum, and it would flow all over this broad land. Why have silver and gold grown so lar apart ? By natural processes, begun by Fngland in 1S1G, when she adopted gold, the most portable of metals, as the single standard of value. There was no consid erable disturbance until Bis marck, to inflict further injury on France, and to put Germany on a gold basis, compelled the former to pay in gold the indem nity for the Franco-Prussian war. D:d silver then decline in the markets of the world? So seriously that Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France and Itally closed their mints to the free coinage of silver. Holland followed i . 1S75, Russia came nextinlSTG, Belgium, Switzer land and Greece stopped in 1S78 and Austro-IIungary in 1889, Rotimania stopped i n 1S90; lastly, India, the great sink of silver, shuts its inints to free coinage. And now this great Republic is asked, alone among all the nations of the earth, to get down on its knees like a gib bering idiot to worship the idol that has been rejected by every other ci ilized country in God's world. What would be the result o( adopting bimetallism? It is as absolutely impossible for us to undertake bimetallism alone as to have a stable system of finances under our bullion purchasing law. Bimetallism is only feasible when it is interna tional. The great authority in bimetallism, Mr. -Henry Cern- usehi, an Italian and after the Jew, Italians have the keenest financial instinct savs that no country can coin silver alone; any country that coins onlv sil ver will remain alone, and will not have the money for paving abroad. In continually embar rassing the financial system of this country by propositions that have been kicked out of the forum of civilized n.itions. Con- gressmen are tsoing a great wrong to their constituents for which thev should never be for-; given. Is there any hope for interna tional bimetallism? Let Congress repeal the Sher man law and within three months England, who has re jectetl our advances three times, will make proposals to the I'm-; ted States to come into a mone tary conference for the sake of her ward, India. Not until we so draw upon Engla d's gold stcck as to make her doubt whether she can afioril to hold aloof, will she consider bimetal lism. What countries now have free coinage of silver? Mexico and China Look at the miserable wages of Mexicans. That Chinese mechanic is lucky who earns four cents a day pay able in debarcel money. What if Mexico demonetizetl silver, Government securities, com mercial credits would all ad vanc, and business would im prove as it would here if we re pudiated the monstrous theory that. we must pay mine owners! $1.29 for what is worth sixty-j two cents. Should we not have a larger; circulation of money? j A large cirulation is wasteful. ! If in conducting a farm I use four teams when one is enough, am I not extravagant? There is no special law for nionev. A great amount ot metallic currcn j cy is costly. j How much silver is piled up in j our Treasury.'' ! Five hundred million dollars j it four per cent, interest. This means a loss of twenty million dollars annually in interest alone. What has ibis silver cost us in depreciation? The difference between the market value of the stored silver and the price paid for it has re sulted, since 1878. in a waste of $141,810,983: Would this waste .suffice to build the Nicaiagua canal? Yes, and pay the debt of one of the Pacific railroads. Do those wh:) furnish pig si'ver to the Treasury take silver dol lars in exchange? They refuse to take them, pre ferring the silver certificates printed on paper. These certifi cates would circulate equally well were no silver bullion be hin them. Would the non-purchase of sil ver drive the white metal out of circulation? No. Not ten cents worth would be driven out. Paper and gold would continue in service and trade would resume its normal condition. Is there gold enough? iertainiy. coia is increasing three and and one half times fas ter in this world than popula tion. The American supply is increasing two and one-half times faster than the demand for it. The world is producing thir teen times as much gold as in 183-1- when this country practi cally adopted the gold stand ard. How do you like my cate chism? Don't vou think it gives a great deal of valuable informa tion in one easy lesson? Kate Field in Kate Field's Washing ton. Live Mastodons in Alaska. The Stickccn Indians positive ly assert teat within the last live years they have frequently seen animals which, from the ele- scriptions given, must be mas todons. Last spring while out hunting one of these Indians came across a scries of large tracks, each the size of the bot tom of a salt barrel, sunk deep in the moss. He followed the curious trail for some miles, fin ally commg out in full view cf his game. As a class these In dians are the bravest of hunters, but the proportions of this new species of game filled the hunter with terror, and he took to swift and immediate Uight. lie de scribed the creature as being as large as a post trader's store, with great, shining, yella.vish white tusks and a mouth large enough to swallow a man at a single gulp. lie fuithcr savs that the animal was undoubted ly of the same species as those whose bones and tusks lie all over that section of the country. The fact that other hunters have told of seeing those monsters browsing on the herbs up along the river gives a certain proba bility to the story. Over on Forty-Mile creek bones of mas todons are cpjite plentiful. One ivory tusk nine feet long projects from one of the sand dunes on that creek, and single teeth have been found that were so large that the would be a good load for one man to carry. I believe that the muk-footcd hog still ex ists; aLc that live mastodons play tag with the aurora every night on Fortv-Mile creek in Alaska. Juneau Free Press. A Remarkable Lock of Hair. The New Berne (N. C.) Journal tests its reader' belief ir its veracity with the following story: Mrs. S. E. Cicdle, the clever keeper of the boarding house in the Howard buildingon South Front street, lias a curiosity a lock of hair that has gro w i to several times its length it was when severed from the head. It was sent to her by a friend two ears ago, and was then onlv about IV2 inches long. Since then it has grown con stantly and now is over a foot long. It is in vigorous growth and has a live look. Blight and Roct Rot of Cotton. The Botanist of the X. C. Ex periment Station is desirous of securing specimens of cotton showing characteristic symp toms of blight or black disease of boll and root rot. Farmers 7?hosc cotton may suffer Ir-'in either of these diseases will con fer a favor by sending samples and full particulars to tlie Sta tion at Raleigh Wrap sampks in moistened paper, ai.d enclose in pasteboard box.

It is surprising how people will be swindled by some worth less or inexpensive compound concealed under the guise of some glittering name, and selling for an exorbitant price, which does not even bear the name of the manufacturer. Compound extract of salvx is the deceptive and ensnaring name of a compound which is extensively sold to the people ot the State to be used lor preserv ing eggs, fruits, vegetable?, etc. A package received at the Ex periment Station for examina tion was labelled as fellows : "Two ounce Package Compounded lixtract ot Salyx Preparctl expressly for pre serving Eggs, Fruits, and Veg etables, by the "Cold Process" according to Hood's formula. Price $1 35." This material consists oi a fine, white and crystaiine powder, possessing little or no order, and the aqueous solution has rather an agreeable sweetish taste. An analysis of this powder shows it to be nothing but commercial Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a powerful antiseptic, and owing to its slight taste, it has been much used for preserving com mercial articles of food. When taken into the system in medic inal doses it has a powerful ef fect upon the system, and it is believed that its continued use in food, even in small amounts, must prceluce none other than injurious effects. The sentiment has been so strong against its use in France and othei coun tries that laws have been enact ed prohibiting its ue lor preser v ing loods. Tlie so-callctl ' Compound Ex tract of Salyx", brides being a very undesirable substance to mix with foods, is sold at an exorbitant price compared with actual market value. F. B. Carpenter, N. C. Experiment Station. Siam's Progressive King. Before his second coronation, in 1S73, .all natives who ap proached tlie king had to do so on all fours. They had to raise their hands in adoration to him and bump their heads on the mat before him. He did away with all this anil introduced the Amer ican handshake into his recep tions to foreigners and he speaks the English tongue, though he never elocs this when noted for eign visitors Iiavc an audience with him. He considers it be neath his dignity at such time to speak in any other language than the Siamese, and he has an in terpreter who trans'atcs the English words into Siamese and the Siamese words into English. He has brought the telegraph and the telephone into Bangkok and established a street car line and lights his harem with electric lights. This King of Siam is a Buddhist and he was for a time a Buddhist priest, as it is the custom with all men in Siam. Every one is expected at some time to enter the priesthood, and this monajch with his millions of treasure, his score of wives and $10,000,000 a year, once shacd his head and gave up his crown and his harem to wear a yellow cotton scarf about his waist, ami went lasting and praying. His majesty's name is perhaps, the longer! of any mon arch in the world. It contains fifty seven letters .and he i: called Chulalougkorn for short. lie has ten different names in addi tion ta this, and the full names oftheroval family would fill a column.
