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 carry on its trade and commerce. It will 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. The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation Co's Strs.

It Is nvcesHiiry as soon ns possiblo to unite all weak colonies that will bo un able to build up into strong ones. In ninny cases to mako tho most out of bees it will pay to sow a patch of buck wheat and clover especially for them. It is a heavy loss of honey to allow bees to manufacture their own comb. Tho moro economical plan is to buy founda tion. Care should bo taken to savo all young brood and tho brood combs or those con taining brood, putting them togcthor In tho center of the hive.

A Little Advice to the Great Army of Sufferer From Dyapepaieu A physician, writing in the Phila delphia Inquirer on "Foods and Their That oat or sorts feeling from which . , , rf - . most of us suffer half the days of our life is usually due to our eating things we shouldn't. Although we are con strutted on thn same model, scaroely any two people bave exactly the same kind of heart, liver and other organs, and as a result nothing is truer than the saying that "One man's meat is an other man's poison," Meat, for instance, is a slow poison to a number of individuals. If there is a gouty strain Mi your family, you are storing up future torture for yourself every time you eat a ohop or pieoe of beef. Gout is simply the result of too much urio acid in the blood, and meat is full of the material from whiob uric aoid is made. You may think that so long as you have not to sit in an easy chair all day there is no need for precautions in diet But the first symptoms are always mild, aud it yon feel irritable and un able to settle down to work yon bad better be oareful bow inuch meat you eat Englishmen are said to be the worst tempered people on earth. Tbey are also the most gouty, and there can be no doubt thai they are the greatest meat eaters. Nothing is more nourishing than sugar, yet it is absolutely poison to those who are prone to diabetes, and any one inclined to oorpulenoy should regard it as a natural enemy. Two lumps of sugar per day in exoess of the quantity required by the body would add 60 pounds to a man's weight in five years that is, of oourse, if he bad the sort of constitution that easily puts on flesh. ' But it is not sugar alone which is in jurious to diabetic aud stout peopln. The former should not look at porridge, rice, beet root, Spanish onions, port wine, rum or ginger beer; the latter should take neither soup, beer, potatoes nor treacle, while gouty people should not touch peas or benns. If any near member of your family has est. Vitus' -dunce or epilepsy, you should eat meat very sparingly and grapes not at nil, while you might at well think of committing suicide as fro quenting the barroom. For dyspeptios it is impossible to say what food is good, because everything is bad. White bread remuius uncligest ed for hours, browu bread is most irrl tating and injurious, vegetables are con verted into gases and painful acids, and most kinds of meat are too heavy. The dyspeptic, in fact, ought never to have been born. However, since the sufforer from dys popsia must eat, let him follow this rule, and it may bring relief: Eat a little of everything, but eat sparingly, nevei leaving the table with a sense of linv ing eaten enfllcieut; eat slowly. Masti ooteall food thoroughly and never drink while eating. If ho must drink, let him driuk after he has finished eating. No doubt the majority of people see no oouueutiou between their ailments aud the breakfast or diuuor which they have enjoyed. But there are many per sons who nro so severely affootod by par ticulur articles of diet that there is u question about tho fact that some kind of food are more or less poisonous to ui all, although we may not suffor very yruatly ufter eating them. An acquaint auce of the writer's, for example, fall Into convulsions it eats a siugl itrawberry, and even the odor of straw' berry jam iu the neighborhood of jam factories almost throws him into a fit. The writer knows a lady whose heart comes to a stop if she eats au egg. Of conrso tho never intentionally cuts oue now, but frequoutly on taking a piece of cake or some kind of pudding oi sauce containing eggs she swoons. Many people got cramp iu tho stem ach from eaiing honey, aud more than ono death bus resulted from this cause, Others are wade violently sick by the smell of apples, and a putieut of the writer's has often averred tbut even the sight of beet root seemed to suffocate him, while another bud to give u drinking milk becuuso it produced in tense inflammation of tiie eyes. Many kinds of fi,-h cause serious ill ness. Lobsters and crabs produce mns painful itching in some people, and the writer has known several who uf tor eut ing salmon felt a horrid tatite in the mouth, and soon after snffored so badly from headache as to he coinpullcd to go to bed. Those latter are the extreme instances of injury from food, but they prov.othat tlionuuuds of people suffer iu a less do gree, and that probubly no one can lunch or dino without swallowing some thing poisonous to Lis system.

Cramp, a shipbuilder of Philadel phia, that hollow rods were used fn tho conduct of his experiments with tu& motor. "Recent exposures," said Mr. Cramp, the other day, "have demonstrated thaft compressed air was probably the-agent employed, and Keely certainly had ma chinery powerful enough to comprea air to any degree that be could possibly have needed for anything be did. The trick of lifting the heavy weight at the end of a lever was never done to my satisfaction. A register recorded th weight, and registers can be set to do anything. 'He had a pump built at the old Mor ris works that was, I have been told, of the most powerful description, and witla it and bis big iron sphere he could bars collected all the energy any of hia ex periments demanded. He had only to supply tubes enough to get his forct through, and I am satisfied they were- there in profusion. When some capitalists were consider ing the advisability of putting a larger- amount of money into the motor scheme- several years ago, Mr. Cramp was se lected as a member of a committee to. visit Keely 's laboratory and make an in--vestigntion. After a year's efforts thise committee succeeded in entering the sanctum and witnessed some of the ex periments. "When our. committee went to the- laboratory," said the shipbuilder, wer agreed not to ask Keely any embarrasiv ing questions. We had heard that sticl a course had been pursued by otliorsi. and every time he got angry, usually -retreating when forced into a corner behind this sort of a statement: 'Gen tlemen, you are here as my guests. JT did not bring you here to inbult rxu.: ' Therefore we decided to simply Ia-idV him along the way he wanted to go aid!. not try to corner him. "His condition during our visit wa;r remarkable He was evidently expect ing the usual cornering process, and. when it did not come he grew nurroua. Great beads of perspiration stood out on head, face and bands, and he was visibly excited. I watched the machine closely and was impressed with tlia -numbor of so called wires of varying thickness that led to it. I picked up a piece of alleged wire and was struck by its lightness. Then I made up my mini! . tbut he wns merely usin soino well known force like compressed air through, , tubes. ' "Turning carelessly to Keely I asked, . with no trace of special interest: 'Where do you get these hollow rods II 1 don't know where to get thcin. ' He. answered promptly, 'I got them froii i a factory in Connecticut. ' Ho mentioned; tho place, but I forget where it was. . All the members of tho committee saw: the force of the question and answer,, and Keely saw the break ho had uiadov but we gave him no further shocks; IIo had a great collection of wires nnd'. short pieces of metal so arranged that, touching uny of them proilnced a clear,-, musical note. These were his collectors of sympathetic sound, and with his tuning fork he would strike away aud; start his various experiments. "I saw tho famous gun fired, and it did not amount to much, A gnofi. healthy donkey could kick lianlt-r ttinte-. tho projectile struck. I was impicKsi.iV , at once with the belief that th ro vii-' no great secret about what Ketly did. I am inclined to believe that lie thought bo bad found something which was new to him because lie had not heard of if:, before, and ho had mado such claims in: bin now field that it was no troubln fur hiin to secure almost unlimited cat-It." Whilo tho lato Chief Engineer Whit akcr of the United States navy, wa stationed at tho Cramps' shipyard, lil years aj;o, as inspector of tho Terror, hu niado Mr, Keeiy's acquaintance, viftiteiT liirn frequently, and examinod his meth ods. In his many interviews Mr. Vhit aker collected a vocabulary of more- than ono thousand words invented by Keely. These words had a scientific jin glo,' but not one of thorn is rocoRniac by any sinylo scientific authority or gauged by any scientific usage. Keely told Sir. Whltaker ho had beoru at one timo connected with a circus h sloight of hand porformor, and perform ed tho C(Tt? and tag and other trickp on a little platform on a horso. He ako said ut ono time ho had been in tho United States cavalry, having enlisted twice. IIo showed Mr. Whitaker a va -vicosovein or aneurism caused by a fctl i from a horse, and another placo whunu ho was wounded by an arrow. IIo nah'S when ho enlisted ho assumed other: names. Mr. Whitaker investi-rnted the?. matter and found there wero enlistment 3 of a man by thoso names. Mr. Whitaker, according to 3Er Cramp, looked on Keely aa a cc urina tion of a charlatan and circus fatar ami. a man who was really sincero, ono who. had been dazed reading on scientific: matters, and, being uneducated, wsm unable to grasp the moaning of what h t read. The theory of light trunsniitteik through ether, and all that sort of thing-, naturally confused him. "Kfiv WhHiilznr rniisiilnred that it Wa bis duty to expose Keely, andhn ciJll-ct- ed an immense amount of matter besides " the vocabulary, bnt died before it was ever utilized or published.
