GREENBACKS or Government Money. At close of our Civil War in 1865, there' appeared in the London Times the following : "If that mischievous financial pol icy which had its origin in the North American Republic during the late Civil War in that country, should be come indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its money without cost. It will have all the money that is necessary to carr) on its trade and commerce. It wilt become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilized nations of the world. The brain and wealth of all countries will go to North America. THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON THIS GLOBE." The famous Hazzard ' circular, to capitalists in New York, and the Buell Bank circular to United States Bank ers, both emanating from London, and the fabulous corruption fund raised in England and Germany, estimated at $1,500,000, were the agents that se cured the closing of our mints against silver. The "walk into my parlor" policy of England, during and since the Spanish War, is the latest evidence of English Diplomacy in shaping the destiny of the United States Govern ment. Notwithstanding the famine price of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu lous expenditures of money by our government during the past year, gold has increased in value eleven per cent, and all other values decreased in the same proportion. For a thorough understanding of the money question, or silver issue, the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly given evidence of its ability to teach, explain and produce all facts and truth. It is a paper that ought and can be read by all classes with pleas ure and profit.

Soft gray czariua, much like French camel's hair Iu effoct comes la nil the varied tones so popular at this tin of year. Bayadere effects will reappear this spring, and there is enough diversity shown in thesecross stripes to render them suitable for either toll or short figures. The new cheviots for tailor costumes are very attractive and stylish. The colors are mixed, as usual, but most of the very desirable patterns are quiet and unob trusive. Four-in-hand scarfs, with very long ends that reach tho belt, will this spring be worn with smart tailor made shirt waists of fancy silk, faille, silk dotted French mohair, etc. The three or five pioce sheath skirt, with short jacket and vest tastefully braided or trimmed with soutache In applique de signs, is still a very popular style for gen eral uses this spring. Some of the new English walking jack ets for next season are turned back in gracefully shaped revere to the waist line. Others are worn closed straight down from the neck fastened diagonally from the left shoulder. A dainty flufflness about the neck, pro duced by plaltings of white lace or chiffon Intermingled with outstanding loops of very narrow black velvet ribbon, is decid edly becoming to women with slender throats and faces. Besides the new, very smart, little jack ets, military coats, separate jacket bodices, tailor made boleros, stylish English cut aways and irany shaped "Louis," there will appear with both Lenten and Eoster models very handsome costumes made with wraps en suite. Black silk braids and block woven che nille in patterns like soutache trimmings are woven and twisted Into various fanci ful and conventional designs for skirt, bodice and jacket trimmings, yokes, curv ing collars and flaring ouffs, guimpos, vest girdle and corselet pieces, and their favor for the spring and summer is already as sured. New York Post. WEALTHY STAGE LIGHTS. Probably no actor now on the stage is richer than William H. Crano. He Is said to bo worth $260,000, and it Is all safely invested. Joe Jefferson is supposed to be worth about $200,000. Henry Dixey ought to have a lot of money, but after he made $60,000 in "Adonis" he lost It. The lowest figure put on Francis Wil son's wealth is $100,000. He got $660 a night when playing in "Enninio," and most of his other ventures have paid well. He has invested in real estate. Delia Fox hits about $50,000 In Jewels. Edna Wallace Hopper is supposed to have $60,000 or $70,000 mid a short time ago made $15,000, in a stock speculation. Her interest in ''El Capitan" niado her $26,000 two years ago. Nat Goodwin has $80,000 and would have had more had ho not persisted in sticking bo close to his ideal of art. Bich- ard Mansfield is said to bo rich. He got $40,000 one year out of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." He owns property and has a lovely homo. Lillian Russell always works on guar antees and is suro of $1,000 a week. She does not speculate and has made good in vestments. May Irwin owns a whole island up in tho St. Lawrence. Ada Behnn has put aside $60,000, and Mine, Modjeska 1b comfortably supplied with money. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Grub out all worthless trees. Plan out the orchard in winter. Do not prune the peach until spring. Tobacco smoke will kill the greon fly. As a rulo it is safer and totter to plant young trees than to graft old ones. House plants often fail to do well on account of luck of light in tho rooms. Severe pruning is necessary on a vigor ous grapevine to prevent its overbearing. Blight In pear trees may often be averted by cutting out the unrlpened spruuts that have been winter killed. Most fruit trees bear fruit on short spurs of last year's growth. This is the case with the apple, pear, plum and cherry. Fruit trees, grapevines and bushes should have no place in tho garden. They draw nourishment needed by tho garden plants. Sometimes a judicious pruning of the quince trees will induco fruiting, for the restriction of bloom often tends to setting of fruit. It is a inistako to supposo that any old, wornout soil is good enough for the orchard without fertilization. Good soil is essential to good fruit. Exchange. THE PEACE SHOW. Whilo tho czar is calling on the nations to lay down their arms England responds by laying down a couple ot new buttlo shlps. Philadelphia Ledger. ; Reformer Tolstoi told tho czar that he would believe ln disarmament when Russia begins. The question of pruc edonoe In this matter is the ticklish point. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. While waiting for the curtain to go up on the peace conference performance Great Britain Is passing away the time building two more 14,000 ton battleships at a cost of $5,000,000. Indianapolis News. The czar seems to think that a good way to begin his disarmament programme Is to make his peace with Count Tolstoi. Thore is no doubt of the wisdom of dis arming possible enemies first. Chicago Journal. Whatever the motive of the young czar and charity "thinketh no evil" the burden of such military establishments as those of Europe Is too great for any propo sition to reduce the load to be dismissed lightly. Troy Times. . THE CYNIC. A young man would rather be funny than wise. Some people never really enjoy them selves except at a funeral. All the trouble some people have in life Is that which they married Into. If a man does not Invest In a lot of little swindles, he Is very apt to be caught by one big one. A perfect housekeeper is one who is al ways ready for company, but who always manages to keep company away.

If tiie hens git too fat, feeding with oats for a few days will soon reduce them. Guineas are good luyers, and their flesh Is a combination of the turkey and the pheasant. Tho Spanish whlto Leghorns and Mi norcasall lay largo, w'i;to eggs and are nonsotters. In feeding all kinds of small grain at noon scatter It among litter and let the liens scratch it out. Nentsfoot oil is said to le better than kerosene for many of the Ills of fowls be cause it Is less Irritating. While sound oats are egg producing bet ter result, will be secured by alternating them with wheat bran. Leghorns, Minor cos, Spanish, Andalusians and Hamburgs are the fowls with the big egg producing records, but they are not tho best table fowls. A fowl that Is Inclined to fatten rapidly is rarely a good layer; the flesh It carries makes it lazy, and this never promotes laying. Even In winter It is best to chango the material In the nests occasionally. St. Louis Republic ANIMAL LIFE. Elephants without tusks are numerous In Abyssinia.

AN ADVISORY BOARD TO LOOK AFTER THEIR NEEDS. The Scope and Object of This Seir Establishment of Government and the Men Who Compose It What tho Porto Klcans Want. We have not yet reached that stage of expansion at which we can sport a colonial secretary with his troop of un dersecretaries and clerks, but we have recently seen established a colonial com mission, which answers about the same' purpose.

It consist of three members appointed by the president The commission will exorcise the functions of an advisory body, Rnd will advise the president as to the proper method of dealing with Cuban and Porto Rican questions.
