purchase money direct from the na
tion’s gold reserve.
The fact retrains, also, that un¬
til the condition of the nation's for¬
eign commerce returns to normal
this new and i dearly bought gold
will steadily follow its predecessor
to Europe. It is ut best but an ex¬
pedient, and the conditions which
make such an expedient necessary
are -decidedly unwholesome. Its
success ’will depend entirely upon
whether in the ensuing months the
nation’s industries under the tonic
influence of stable tariff laws can
revive and restore the balance of
international exchange.
The necessity for sustaining the
parity between gold and silver is
felt by those in authority, but the
doleful business of paying out gold
in exchange for coin treasury notes
which are then to be re-issued leaves
the government open to this milk¬
ing process by all who desire gold
to send abroad or to lock tip in
vaults. The increase in the na¬
tion’s interest-bearing debt to re¬
plenish the dwindling gold reserve
is most unfortunate, but the ad¬
ministration does not seem to be
able to discover any otljpr way out.

A Nineteenth Century Movement.
Tho most hopeful feature on which
tho nineteenth century will look as its
son goes down is tho movement of help¬
fulness to one another that is spreading
among civilized men. In all history
there is no record of a time when peo¬
ple generally were doing so much to
better the lot of those less fortunate.
There is snobbery without end. There
is the childish aristocracy of wealth,
which thinks itself superior because it
has more of the merely animal comforts
at life. There are cheating and despoil¬
ing as cruel, if not so violent, aft any
that blotted the human record in the
days of the robber barons or the pirates
of the Bpauish main.
But never before did thinkers so often
sit down and strive to reason out meth¬
ods of removing the inequalities of for¬
tune among civilized men. The model
tenement houses and cooking classes for
the poor, the cheap mnsic, books and
summer and winter excursions bring
mankind nearer a level of intelligence
and sympathy than tboy over were be¬
fore. Tho college settlements are one of
tho most striking features of the move¬
ment, Into a squalid, crowded, dirty

cheap suit of rooms. They livo among
the poor oftentimes when they them¬
selves have beau soenstomed to every
luxury that wealth can bring. They do
not patronise the people. They quietly
and with infinite tact make them feel as
equals and brothers and sisters. They
bring cleanliness, light, flowers, music,
libraries and good food within reach of
thorn whom poverty and ignorance have
stunted and dwarfed. They teach bet¬
ter, cleaner, finer ways of living. Espe¬
cially among the children of the poor
are these lemon* learned. Bueh will be

The Lore of Rural Life.
About this time men, -women- fc»*
and girls are returning to the city from
a brief and happy vocation in the coun¬
try. The* Went oat weary and nervous,
with Weak hands and skimmilk colored
faces. If they nsed their vacation spell
rightly, they come back brown, plnznp
and strong, brimful of electric life and
vigor, with eyes bright and head op and
heart full of good will to all humanity.
They arc ready to go to work again.
They feel as if they conld overcome
giant obstacles.
So they can for awhile. Thai, after
a few months in the close office or fac¬
tory, they run down hill and get nerv¬
ous and dyspeptic, with faces the color
of skimmilk again. If people conld
only do their work in the city and sleep
in the country, ranch better off they
wonld be. Undoubtedly the natural
life is tho rnral one, and the ideal life
as well. Every great soul that ever
worked for humanity and posted oat
dazzling creations of genius loydd nature
with a passionate love. In the country
the great soul;; have been born into the
wdrld, the great books have been
thought out, the noblest works of-art
have taken their inspiration.
Why is it, then, that the farmers and
their families are not the finest speci¬
mens of humanity? We see among them
a chronic discontent, a rush of their
sons and daughters to get away from
tho farm and be swallowed in the fac¬
tories, offices and tenement honscs of
the city. This tendency has become so
sweeping that in many places the pop¬
ulation of agricultural neighborhoods is
actually decreasing. It is wrong, and
the thing is overdone besides. The
wavo must inevitably sweep back from
tho city to tho country soon.
The reason for the dissatisfaction
with rural life is not inherent in the
life itself. It is a part of tho education
and surroundings of the farmers. They
put up with an inferior and incon¬
venient homo and domestic life. They
work hard enough with their hands in
all conscience, but they do not nso their
brains enough. Mere brute toil is de¬
grading. It reduces man to the level of
the beast But work that is mixed with
brains is glorious. When the farmers
use tbdir brains os much as they now
use their bands, they will not have stiff
joints and lame bocks or be prematurely
old. They will make rural life easier
and more delightful than city life.
This is what it should ho and in time
must become.
Chin, Not Cheek.
A whimsical artist on the Now York
World has been making piotares of
great men with and without their chins.
In place of tho lower part of the face as
it actually is he substitutes a weak jaw
with as little chin os can possibly bo put
there without taking it all away. The
result is striking. Washington, Lincoln
and Gladstone without their chins
would look utterly insignificant—almost
liko idiots. Rosa Bouhour has a partic¬
ularly square, determined lower jaw.
When tho chin that usod to be consid¬
ered the fominiuo modol of beauty is
attached to her faee, the result is some¬
thing indescribable. Tho chin roles the
world
When a person is all jaw and no
brains, bo is a great, forceful brute,
without conscience or remorse, taking
his nearest way to whatevor his animal
desires call for. Of a photograph of
Peter Jackson, tho negro prisoflghter,
a sporting man said: ‘ 'Look at that jaw.
That's whore Peter gets his sand, and
no man has more ” In truth, it is where
all people get their sand, statesmen and
prizefighters alike. If you want a per¬
son with vim and endurance to carry
through great enterprises, select always
the one with the strong, square chin.
The man will not retreat any more than
his chin does. If yon yourself have not
a good chin, cultivate one by sticking
to your word when once it is passed
and by resolutely accomplishing what¬
ever you undertaka
A financial writer has said, "The sim¬
ple fact that Indian corn is nearly m dear
as wheat refutes the as s e r t !on that tho
demanetiaatioD of silver has produced
a universal fall in the prices of 00 m
jnodities. ” The simple fact that Indian
eon la m dear as wheat is owing to
that other simple fact that the drought
has heavily affected the corn crop and
it to give indications of being
very scant this coming fall and winter,

caught by the drought, and so is good,
