BROTHERS SWAP FAMILIES. Trade Wives and Children, and the Younger Gets a Horse, Wagon and Cows to Boot. MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., March 3.—John and Eli Reddiker, brothers, living near Cragomoor, have traded wives and families. The men are small farmers and live but a short distance apart, their father having divided his farm between them. John is about thirty-five years of age and Eli perhaps thirty-two. The deal in wives and families was the result of a bantering proposition made by John several months ago while he and his wife were spending an evening at Elli's. The wives took part in the discussion and the proposition was laughed at as a first-class joke. The subject was brought up again and again at subsequent meetings of the families, and every time it was discussed the idea seemed to grow in favor with all parties concerned, and that which was begun in jest changed to earnest. John had two children, a boy of five and a girl of three years, and Eli but one, a boy about three years old, and when it came to arranging terms for the deal Elli insisted, since the wives were to take the children, he ought to have something to boot, to make up for assuming the care and support of the extra child. Elli won out on this proposition and demanded more "boot" besides the cows, since his wife was several years younger and much more comely than his brother's. Mrs. John did not take kindly to this demand, saying that it was a poor way to begin life together to cast reflections on her age and attractiveness, but Elli insisted that youth and good looks ought to count in a wife dicker as well as in a horse trade. John offered a horse well along in years to even things up. Elli demanded a wagon as well, and when this was thrown in, the deal was made and the wives and children changed abodes.

At a height of 8,964 feet saw a fine panoramic view of the south of the park, Shoshone Lake 8 miles distant and the beautiful Teton mountains at the limit of the park. Passed the Kepler cascades, a series of enchanting falls aggregating from 100 to 150 feet high, and whose charms were enhanced by the dark background of forest. On either hand the waters leap from shelf to shelf of a rocky chasm. Upon the whole it was an enchanting drive. At the noted Geysers of the world.—This is a comparatively wierd valley extending southward, embracing an area of 30 or 40 square miles. Over this valley are scattered hot springs in groups, 619 exclusive of 17 geysers. The general elevation is 7,250 feet. The surrounding slopes are heavily timbered and are from 400 to 800 feet higher. Fire Hole river passes down through this valley and is the drainage for the most of those springs and geysers. I will only mention a few geysers as it would be impossible to describe them all for want of space and time: old Faithful, the friend of the tourist and most admired of all. It takes its name as you can readily guess from its reliability. Every 70 minutes, day and night; summer and winter, without the variation of more than 3 minutes, this wonderful freak of nature gives its exhibitions without money and without price. Its eruptions begin with a few spasmodic spurts, during which considerable water is thrown out, and these are followed by a column of hot water upward to a height of 125 to 150 feet, where it remains apparently stationary for about 3 minutes. The mound around the geyser is composed of layers of deposit in a succession of distinctly marked terraces, which are full of basin-like pools. The water in each is as clear as crystal and the edges are exquisitely beaded and fretted, their bottoms showing delicate tints of rose, saffron, orange, brown and gray. The throat of the crater is a dark yellow or rusty color. I say a great deal about this for two reasons. First, it seems to the dusty weary traveler like a dear friend; and second, having deserved it. The Unique Horn of the Universe. The horn of a unicorn was shaken Windsor castle and in 1598 was at over £10,000. Lewis Verton a gentleman of Rome, saw with own eyes two unicorns presented sultan of Mecca by a king of Eden They were in a park of the tent Mecca and were not much unlike 30 months of age. This was not The animal became extinct abend end of the seventeenth century. The unicorn is represented in ruins at Persepolis, and it was also by the Persians as the emblem of strength. In the middle hated the elephant, and it used its horn on a stone before it struck foe in the abdomen. No family way, should be without one or horns, the average length of wolf four feet. They defend from craft. Thus Torquemada had ways on his writing table. For more, a drinking cup made free will be a safeguard against poison will the ground powder put into and indeed the wells of the parish St. Mark could not be poisoned good old days of adventure because beneficent horns had thrown into them.

"This seem to disprove the theory that in the open air is a means of superfluous weight. I have new policemen to start on their weighing no more than 125 pounds six months they would tip the scale 150 and in a year reach the 200. It must be the slow sauntering open air that does it, for I have that while policemen grow house sergeants, who are confined to stations, are invariably thin who patrol the streets gain their mum weight in about three years muscles then harden, and despite apparent burden of flesh the may develop great activity.

Public Debt Statement. WASHINGTON, March 1.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that, at the close of business on February 28, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,087,019,504, a decrease for the month of $7,657,374. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest bearing debt, $1,001,500,410; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,830,690; debt bearing no interest, $382,603,552; total, $1,385,934,-653. This amount, however, does not include $780,561,989 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding, which are offset by an equal amount of cash on hand, which is held for their redemption. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Reserve fund in gold, $150,-000,000; trust fund, $760,561,989; general funds, $131,439,077; in national bank depositories, $97,827,962; total, $1,139,829,028. Against this there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to $840,913,879, which leaves a cash balance of hand of $298,915,149. SILVER TO TAKE GOLD'S PLACE? Harvard Professor Predicts a Tremendous Increase in the Production of the Yellow Metal. CAMBRIDGE, (Mass.), March 2.—If the price of gold goes down, another metal must be looked for as a token of international value. I think this metal will be silver, because silver is not found in alluvial plains and because, owing to the difficulty in mining, it will never change in value." This statement was made by Professor N. S. Shaler, Harvard's geologist, in a lecture to 600 students in Sanders Theater. He predicted that within the next thirty years there would be an influx of gold such as the world has never known. Professor Shaler bases his statements on geological conditions combined with recent improvements in mining apparatus. He said in part: "The new systems of mining which have recently been discovered will have produced by the middle of the present century an almost intolerable supply of gold. I cannot say definitely what the increase will be, but I should think at the least, that the present supply will be quadruple. On the continent of America alone I have estimated that the amount of gold to be won from gravel within the next hundred years will be worth $30,000,000,000." "Up to the present time men have been greatly handicapped in searching for gold by the fact that it was scattered so thinly through the earth. They have been able to find any amount of gravel paying from 10 to 30 cents to the cubic yard, but the expense of dredging has always been so great that they have been unable to extract it with profit. Now, however, the machinery of the dredgers has been greatly improved." Water upward to a height of 125 to 150 feet, where it remains apparently stationary for about 3 minutes. The mound around the geyser is composed of layers of deposit in a succession of distinctly marked terraces, which are full of basin-like pools. The water in each is as clear as crystal and the edges are exquisitely beaded and fretted, their bottoms showing delicate tints of rose, saffron, orange, brown and gray. The throat of the crater is a dark yellow or rusty color. I say a great deal about this for two reasons. First, it seems to the dusty weary traveler like a dear friend; and second, having described one to a certain extent you have described all. The Bee Hive, name suggested by the peculiar shape of the cone, plays three times a day. The Giantess, considered by some of unusual importance, plays once in fourteen days. The Lion, Lioness and Cubs play daily at irregular intervals and it often occurs that the Lioness and Cubs play at the same time, hence the name. The Castle, most conspicuous of all, on account of its cone which is the largest in the region; base of cone 100 feet and 20 feet high, across the orifice is about three feet in diameter; eruptions at intervals of about 30 hours. The Riverside throws an immense volume of water 100 feet high. Slanting across to the opposite bank a beautiful geyser erupts every 8 hours. I must say one word about Hell's Half Acre and the geyser Excelsior; an immense geyser; its crater is 75 by 250 feet. The most curious thing about it is that it is constantly enlarging and will soon undermine Tourquois lake and Prismatic spring fully 500 feet distant. It has not played since 1893 and when it plays the water raises in the crater 30 feet and the overflow is so great that it swells Fire Hole river several inches. The wonder of this region grows upon you as you linger and leave. No where else I believe can be seen on so grand a scale, such clear evidence of dying volcanic action. Could Dante have seen this region, he might have added one more terror to his Inferno. I met an old gentleman from the state of Illinois, who said he had never been an evolutionist in the fullest sense until he came to the National park. He said God had not got anywhere near through building this earth yet. We must leave the dozens and dozens of others and on to the Fountain Hotel, the next point of interest. Our eyes are sore and tired. I doubt if we stop at any more burnt districts. Fountain Hotel an immense building with all sorts of mineral baths attached.

On the continent of America alone I have estimated that the amount of gold to be won from gravel within the next hundred years will be worth $30,000,000,000.

They have been able to find any amount of gravel paying from 10 to 30 cents to the cubic yard, but the expense of dredging has always been so great that they have been unable to extract it with profit. Now, however, the machinery of the dredgers has been greatly improved. Within the past three years dredgers have been operated in Russia and in the United States, especially in Leadville, Col., which have proved beyond question that alluvial soil can be profitably worked for gold. "In the United States there are from 6000 to 8000 square miles which will give miners employment and which can be accurately depended upon for producing gold. Similar areas in Russia, India, Africa and Australia will flood the market, and if the value of gold remains the same the quantity will increase tenfold by the middle of the century." Lucky Walter. Adam Brunner, head waiter at the Holland House, in New York, during the life of Collis P. Huntington, looked after the wants of the railway magnate when he was a guest at the Holland, and won his good will. Huntington gave Adams straight tips on the stock market, and the waiter greatly profited thereby. When Huntington died Adam mourned. Fortune smiled again when Charles M. Schwab, president of the steel trust, came as a guest to the hotel. Schwab took a fancy to Adam, and expressed opinions as to the way the steel cat was going to jump. The president was astounded one day recently when he discovered some one by the name of Brunner was buying steel stock, and investigation found Brunner was the attentive Adam of the Holland. "It's the best joke on me that I know of," Schwab said to a friend. "Why he put $10,000 into the stock I spoke about, and the fun of the thing is that he got in close to the bottom, better in fact than the others got theirs." As a result of the kindly interest of Huntington and Schwab, Adam is now said to be worth $150,000, but he still works at the Holland House, and is just as attentive as ever to guests.

Lewis Vertomannus, gentleman of Rome, saw with his eyes two unicorns presented to theitan of Mecca by a king of Ethiopia. They were in a park of the temple of Mecca and were not much unlike a colt of 30 months of age. This was in 1503, the animal became extinct about the end of the seventeenth century. The unicorn is represented in the arms at Persepolis, and it was adopted by the Persians as the emblem of speed and strength. In the middle ages it was the symbol of purity. The unicorn tended the elephant, and it used to whet horn on a stone before it struck the abdomen. No family, by the way, should be without one of these horns, the average length of which is four feet. They defend from witchcraft. Thus Torquemada had one always on his writing table. Furthermore, a drinking cup made from one will be a safeguard against poison, as well as the ground powder put in drink, and indeed the wells of the palace of Mark could not be poisoned in the old old days of adventure because these beneficent horns had been known into them.

"This would seem to disprove the theory that walking in the open air is a means of reducing superfluous weight. I have known new policemen to start on their beats weighing no more than 125 pounds. In six months they would tip the scales at 200 and in a year reach the 200 mark. Must be the slow sauntering in the open air that does it, for I have noticed that while policemen grow fat the house sergeants, who are confined to stations, are invariably thin. Those who patrol the streets gain the maximum weight in about three years. The muscles then harden, and despite their apparent burden of flesh the men usually develop great activity. One of the best runners and jumpers I know is a policeman who weighs nearly 800 pounds."—Philadelphia Record. A Bishop's Retort.

When Maydole was told that he made "a pretty good hammer," he said, "No, I don't make a 'pretty good hammer,' I make the best hammer that ever was made." Every carpenter who saw a Maydole hammer wanted one. It was of the best material, perfectly balanced, and the head never flew off. Hammers were divided into two classes—1st, Maydole's; 2nd, all the rest. Plasters are separated by the same line of cleavage; 1st, Benson's Porous Plaster; 2d, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain, a cold, a cough, kidney trouble or any other disease or ailment that may be treated externally, you ask for a plaster, any honest, reputable druggist will give you a Benson's. He knows it is incomparably the best, and he assumes that you know it too. As the name of Maydole stood for hammers the name of Benson stands for plasters—the "real thing." All the medicinal potencies that are valuable in a plaster are in Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna plasters are out of date.

A young woman at a watering place one summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd manner. She called one day at a Chinese laundry where she had left a shirt waist, but it could not be found, as there was no entry in the book of hieroglyphs corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the China-man found the entry. A mistake had been made, so the entry was crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphs in tiny characters placed below. She was told that the waist would be laundered immediately, and she could get it next day. The next day the young woman called for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashore the excitement of a visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be despised. The China-man to whom the pink slip was presented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced the same difficulty in finding the identifying character, finally saying, "Not in book." The girl answered calmly. "I can find it," and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves until she came to one that had an entry crossed out with another in tiny characters under it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There it is," and to his surprise, he found it. "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he said. And the other girls looked upon her with admiration—Kansas City World.

But if you would be on the safe side and keep the billy there turn him up and cut away the little creeper that you will find at the bottom of the hoof. It will not hurt him to lose it, but it ruins his ambition as a mountebank. It will save lots of trouble to have a chropodist get at the Angora with a nail trimmer." Goat meat cannot be distinguished from mutton ordinarily. In every car of sheep that comes from New Mexico there are sure to be from two to a dozen goats in the lot. They all go to the same block at the packers, and the good wife who takes home goat's chops for lamb chops is never the wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat is only a goat when he has his pelt on. After that he is a sheep—Kansas City Journal. Try Allen's Foot-Ease. A powder to be shaker into the shoes. Your feet feel swollen, nervous and hot, and get tired easily.

All that remains of the great temple of Zeus, which was 700 years in building, is to be found about 150 yards from the foot of the Acropolis at Athens. The ruins consist of 16 columns of the Corinthian order 6½ feet in diameter and 60 feet high. It was the second largest temple erected by the Greeks, one superior to it in size being the temple of Diana at Ephesus. According to a legend, its foundation was built by Dukalion, the Greek Noah, who from this point witnessed the waters of the flood subside. An opening in the ground is said to be the orifice through which the flood disappeared. Baptist Humor. Here is a story from the Baptist conference at Leicester. It is about a minister. He found himself at chapel one morning without his sermon. "My dear brethren," he exclaimed, "I can only give you now what God will send me, but tonight I will come back better prepared."—Pall Mall Gazette. Not a Song Bird. "He said I was swanlike, I believe," said Miss Rawls. "Wasn't that galant of him?" "Oh, I don't know," replied Miss Peppery. "It was while you were trying to sing that he made the remark."—Exchange. Accommodating Him. Youth—Oh, I don't want to take that character. I'll make a fool of myself sure. Malden—Well, you said you wanted an easy part—Detroit Free Press. Robert Burns, the poet, divided the scale of good wifeship into ten parts: Good nature, 4; good sense, 2; wit, 1; personal charms, 1.

Here is a schoolboy's criticism Walter Scott in an examination which the New York Commercia vertiser vouches for: "Walter Scott is a great polt. When he was felt it coming on, so he wrote slings lines which he ment for him." The way was long the wind wove death catches hold of us." UNITED MINES Mining Co. OF WILMINGTON, DELAWARE.

The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder, from which he suffered excruciating pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two applications, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting up free from pain.

The favored doctor found his services in great request, but as payment was not always forthcoming he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the wife of one of whom was seriously ill. He told them to go to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico. "In that case my fee is $10, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doctor was obdurate and shut down his window. He waited, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: "I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more." Shakespeare In the Bible. In Shakespeare's name lies the key to a wonderful cryptogram. The spelling "Shakespeare" was the poet's nominal plume, while "Shakespeare" was his name, an evident change from "Shakespear." In each of the two spellings last given are ten letters—four vowels and six consonants. Combine these two figures, and we have the number 46, the key to the mystery. Turning to the Forty-sixth Psalm in the revised version, it is found that the psalm is divided into three portions, each one ending with "selah." Remember the number—46. Counting 46 words from the beginning of the psalm, one reads the word "shake" in the first portion, and counting 46 words from the end of the psalm one reaches the word "spear." There is "Shakespear" as plainly as letters can make it—London Answers. Night was Her Terror. "I would cough nearly all night long," writes Mrs. Chas, Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind., "and could hardly get any sleep.

It's absolutely guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La Gripe, Bronchitis and all Throat and Lung troubles. Price 50c and $100. Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store. The Old Time Doctor. "When I was a young fellow," said the man who noticed things, "the family physician attended to all the ills of the family, and the specialists of the profession were wholly unknown. The country doctor was a surgeon as well as a physician. He was almost always clever and usually had remedies of his own invention for common ailments. A large number of the successful patent medicines now before the public are prescriptions of the old time country physician. I could name a dozen such. Old Dr. Hill, who was the leader in the town I grew up in, was called into the country by an urgent message one night. He wasn't advised what the patient was suffering from and upon arrival found it was an ulcerated tooth that was subjecting its owner to almost unbearable pain. Not a surgical instrument did the doctor have with him, and his office was seven miles away. Did he send back for his instruments? Not much! He extracted that tooth with an ordinary hammer and nail to the complete satisfaction of his patient and himself. I'll wager he made a mighty good job of it too."—New York Tribune.

One day Andrew Carnegie at Pittsburg called up one of his New York lawyers by long distance telephone. The steelmaker wanted to ask a question, but could not make himself understood clearly over the telephone, so he asked the lawyer to come to Pittsburg. The lawyer said he had an important appointment in New York next day and could not get away. "Come over now, then," Mr. Carnegie said. "Can't get train," answered the lawyer. "Hire a special," was the answer which came back from Pittsburg. So the lawyer engaged a special train, went to Pittsburg and saw Mr. Carnegie. The steelmaker asked the lawyer's advice as to whether the question troubling him called for "yes" or "no." The lawyer answered, "No." "Thank you," said Mr. Carnegie. "Good night." The lawyer had said less than 20 words for which he received $2,000, said "Good night," Mr. Carnegie," and took a special train back to New York in time to keep his appointment next day."—New York Herald.

Even the smaller villages can usually be sighted from afar by means of the white walls and the towering, dome-shaped cupolas of their churches. These are all amply supplied with bells whose rich tones roll in majestic harmony over distant bill and vale and break the monotony of the peasants' daily toll. Inside these churches are highly ornamented with paintings, and they are presided over by married orders, who take a deep and genuine interest in even the poorest of the flock. An Amateur Critic. Here is a schoolboy's criticism of Sir Walter Scott in an examination paper which the New York Commercial Advertiser vouches for: "Walter Scott was a great polt. When he was dyeing, he felt it coming on, so he wrote sum tuching lines which he meant for himself: "The way was long the wind was cold the minstrel was inferul old. 'O may we all feel the same wen death catches hold of us." She Couldn't Stand It. "No," said the beautiful actress; "I cannot be your wife. I love you dearly, Mr. Frost, and if you had any other name I would be glad to go through life sharing your joys and sorrows." "But," he protested, "my name should not stand in the way. What is it Shakespeare says? 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' What is the matter with my name? Does history record a single dark or unworthy deed committed by a Frost? No. Ah, darling, say you will make me the happiest man on earth!" "No, no! I cannot! I cannot!" she moaned. "Why, if I were to marry you every newspaper paragrapher in the country would have something to say next morning about 'the Frost Miss Darlington received at yesterday's performance.'"—Chicago Times-Herald. Bark. Now a large, dark vessel was described in the Bosporus, belching fire and waking the echoes of those historic shores with the thunder of her guns. "What bark is that?" asked the sultan. "That, I take it, is the bark of the dogs of war," said the grand vizier witty. This sally was followed by a strict party laugh, the opposition groaning.—Detroit Journal.
