This cuts deeper than desertion Republicans, because it is an admission that Bryan has so disorganized the party that it is bank- rupt and can only continue business by a reorganiza- tion. This as swi as a corn-sheller does cobs, In his latest, on Vest, he returns to his celebrated cheap money, quantitative theory of currency and prices. It does not seem to occur to him that there was ten-cent cotton and dollar wheat when the money of the country per capita was only one-third its pres- ent volume. His theory is that if a man have a thou- sand dollars he will pay voluntarily ten times as much for an article as he would if he had only a hundred dollars. The country is concerned more with the cir- culation of money than with its quantity. But a very small percentage of business is done by the actual handling of mon Its circulation largely vi- carjous, in the form of checks, drafts, exchange and letters of credit. These mobilize the money of the country when there is a2 condition of business confi derice. The infirmity 6f Bryan’s mind is shown in his constant prediction of panic and hard times. With him the thought is fathered by the wish. He would better take off his blue goggles and heed President McKinley's wise and worthy saying that “the country at 11 o'clock, Horses, By John Doyle—Frid Carriages Fol BRYAN'S VIEWS. OLONEL BRYAN is kept busy striking at is needs patriots, not pessimists. Mr. Bryan takes great hope from any fall in prices, arfd declares that “the plentiful dollar is the cheap dollar.” The cheag not worth on dollar is one that is not worth its face, e hundred cents. The business standard of -value throughout the world is gold. In that stan- dard commercial exchanges are exchanges of value for value, If those exchanges are in silver dollars worth only fi ents each, two of them aré needed to buy a dollar’s worth prices, when That is what Bryan calls a Tisé in merely a fall in the value of the dol- lar. Prices and values remain where they were. Jackson knew the great law of a medium of ex- change when he said: “Gold is the universal and only hénest standard of value, and all forms of currency should be measured by it.” Bryan seems incapable of comprehending this, and so he walks round and round in the same circle, like 2 mule grinding a mudmill. B According to a report of the Canadian Geological Survey there are in Canada over 950,000 square miles of territory that have not yet been explored. Most of it may be valueless, but some of it is supposed to be rich. In fact, there may be another Klondike in it somewhere, and efforts are being made to get the Government to defray the cost of a thorough ex- ploration of the interior of Labrador and the region between the Stikene and Skeena rivers. It is believed there are millions in it. The Mexican Chamber of Deputies has under con- sideration a bill appropriating $10,000,000 for improv- ing the City of Mexico by the construction of new buildings for public purposes and the establishment of parks in the poorer quarters. Evidently our southern neighbors are not only enjoying prosperity, but are making good use of it. rouses the ireful Colonel, and he emits “views” | THE PRESIDENT AND THE "PUBLIC. | hearts the people who had for weeks been preparing a grand and jubilant reception for - the President learn that owing to the illness of Mrs. McKinley the tour will not be carried out. The one touch of naturc that makes the whole world kin is bfelt in this emergency. There will be few over preparations made in vain for festal ceremonies ITH a fuliness of sympathy that" will ex- clude all sense of disappointment from their universal regret that the abandonment-of the tour has | been caused by the illness of a woman so beloved by | the people, and for whose coming so many bright ex- pectations have been cherished in every city and town along the route that had been planned for the jour- ney north and eastward from San Francisco. { The President has done the utmost he could to | avoid disappointing the people. He has borne the | strain of travel and public business, and the excite- | ments of receptions and public parades and functions, | while watching with anxiety the increasing illness of | his wife, until the limit of endurance has been }reached, and now he can do no more. So long as i Mrs. McKinley's ill health continues there can be for | him no further festivals and social functions. Every | hour not required for public business will be given to | the ministrations which he owes to the woman who during the whole course of his manhood has been the helpful companion in all his struggles and the author of his finest joys. The home life of these two ]‘)eople has been essen- tially American. It is the kind of life that makes the virtue of our republic. The record of it has been a story as beautiful as was ever told in any romance, | and the fierce light of publicity that has shone upon | it ever since the two entered the White House to hold | the foremost place in the republic has had no other | effect than that of bringing out more brightly the | charm =f its simple but sublime happiness and pathos. | In this country the mutual devotion of husband and | wife has not been made the subject of mocking wit | and satire as in other lands. All American ideals tend | to the contemplation of the home inhabited by love ‘as the consummation of human happiness. ‘It is of | such homes our greatest poets have sung and our | noblest novelists written, and, moreover, it is of such | homes our communities are built nup. There is in | this country, therefore, the fullest and most loving sympathy th every phase of family life, and the good husband and the good wife are honored by all | whose honor is worth having. Not long ago Mrs. McKinley is reported to have | said she would be glad when the President’s term of | office expires, because he has now to give so much | of his time to public affairs she can see but little of bim. “When his term is over,” she is quotdd as say- ing, “we will go home and settle down, and I can have him all to myself.” In her present ill health no one will disputé that | wifely desire for the husband who has tended her so carefully and so lovingly through all these years. To | her the people willingly yield him. s he sits by the | bedside of his sick wife he will receive the loyalty and love of the country as algindantly as he could ever have received it in scenes of the most popular of | demonstrations. There is to be no more noise and tumult of applauding thousands mingled with the music of military bands, but in place of that there rises from all the homes in the broad land an carnest prayer | that this health-giving climate of otirs may work its wonders upon the invalid and so surely and speedily build up her strength that her heaith will be no longer a matter of anxiety to the noble man who is as hon- | ored for his devotion to family ties as to any other of those abiding virtues upon which our social fabric rests and out of which the true grandeur of our re- public has arisen. e ——r——— | Of all the stories that have been told concerning the great stock gambling excitement in Wall street 4 the oddest is one to the effect that the panic in the street so disturbed the work of the annual convention of the Episcopal church of Pennsylvania that the con- vention adjourned so 2s to give the delegates a chance to protect their interests in the stock market. ? A VOICE FROM TEXAS. USINESS MEN from New York have been on B a visit to Texas for tb\e purpose of seeing how much of the State they wish to buy and how far they can afford to do business with the peo- ple. When the visitors reached Dallas they were re- ceived with cordiality by a committee of prominent citizens, of whom Barnett Gibbs, formerly Lieutenant Governor of the State, was deputed to act as spokes- man. He was requested by his fellow citizens to | make a strictly business address, containing statistics and other information that would give the New York- ! ers some conception of the prosperity of the State. He performed the task with distinguished success. | He began by saying: “We need New Yorkers in | our immense business, and cannot afford to talk you to death. It is hardly necessary to tell you of the resources of Texas, for every New Yorker reads the United States census .and the sporting news. A State that raises one-third of the cotton and cottonseed of the world, more livestock ghan any State in the Union, that will soon have a greater output of oil than all the rest of the United States, and which has a-school fund, }preny women and everything else in the same pro- _portion, doesn’t have to feed you on statistics.” { After saying he did not like to give figures to New York people on as big a thing as Texas he went on to'say: “In this State men have been drowned by spouting oil wells. If we keep on we may strike a lake of six-thousand-year-old brandy, distilled gcci< dentally from the forbidden fruit. Should that hap- pen we will let you in on the ground floor, though ‘ that kind of thing will not need financing, the home demand being strong and steady. * * * When the Texas silver mines quit paying we went over into the next county and opened mines of quicksilver. | While the politicians were monkeying with oil trust legislation the plain people bored and got more oil than the trust had. The first seven cottonseed oil mills in Texas were owned by the trusts, but the peo- I ple built mills faster than the trusts could buy them, iand now we have about 150 such mills.” % | Describing the energy of the people he said: “You | will observe we have 2 kind of New York lope on us. Well, in the early days we were lucky in getting a | right smart sprinkling of Yankees, and we found out | that if we went slow we would get no rations, so we ! struck their gait. They taught us to make butter for | the' world without a cow, lard for the world without bothering with hogs, a barrel of blackberry brandy without one blackberry, ice without cold weather, and many other handy accomplishments. Texas is on the short side only in money and factories. Under the new banking law we have organized more banks than | New York State has. In twelve months more there will be no room for more railroads in Dallas unless they are elevated.” 7 3 R In conclusion he said: “Old Texas never furnished that are not to be, but there will be a profound and. regrets | - the condiment cult. anything from the cradle to the grave except the naked baby. When you come the next time on a | visit to Dallas, if the Government pay due attention to the report of its engineers, you will find canal | boats running from Dailas to the sea, and fi the water get shy in the canal we'll float them with oil or ar- tesian water, as we have plenty of oil, and are only waiting for more-augers. When you see your friends at home tell them we are short on augers.” In that speech, half fun and half serious—there is a good illustration of the change that has come over Texas and the South generally. In the old days the South could talk of nothing but politics and the negro question, but now her people are prosperous and can talk of-business with gayety of heart. It is a cheerful voice that comes from Texas, and the whole country is glad to hear it. Vi One of the'glowing tales of the Edst is a story to the effect that Piérpont Morgan is going to establish an Atlantic steamship line de luxe for the use of millionaires. The price of passage is to be $1000 for a first class stateroom. It is a good stary in its way, but its appearance may. be taken as a proof that the silly season is about to burst uport us with unusual severity. A PHILADELPHIA STIMULANT. 12N ROM the Philadelphia Press we learn there has F been invented in that city a new form of cock- tail composed of ingredients which, while non. intoxicating, ferm in combination a drink said to be as fascinating as absinthe, and which is doubtless just about as deadly. 7 The discovery of the existence of the drink was. due to the fact that a reporter saw a waiter throw a well-dressed man out of a restaurant. Upon being applied to for an explanation of his act the waiter said: “That man and a whole lot like him have what is known as the condiment habit. It is their practice to come in and order a cup of coffee, and after they have drunk it they gather all the sauces, the salt and pepper and every other condiment and no one else around the tableican get a chance at them. With the material beforé them they have a real good time. First they take a dash of catsup. Into that goes vinegar, the pgpper, salt, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, molasses and anything else that may be handy. This they drink. ‘We have any number of such per- sons come in here. ago. A lawyer who was in here the other night told me that the people that carry on this way are called He said that the desire to drink the fierte mixture they compound is almost as bad® as that which the morphine fiend experiences.” Other Philadelphia restaurants report a similar ex- perience with the new cult. In one of the principal cafes of the city the head waiter said the place had several regular customers who insisted on mixing the condiments on the table and drinking the mixture. “When they are regular patrons,” he said, “we simply i % P humor them and put the price on their bill, but when | Athletics for outsiders come in we discourage them and we cannot say that they have ever tried to get us arrested.” Further investigation disclosed the fact that women are included among the deyotees of the cult. Some of thenr have carried it to such an exteng that res- taurant kcepcfs have had to forbid the waiters to serve, them ‘with condiments. = One authority says: “Once the condiment habit gets hold of men or women it seems to cling to them; and I have noticed i that the members of the cult decline rapidly in health.” 2 This is a strange form of maniago have its origin among a people who live such well ordered lives as these of Philadelphia. It would have been less sur- prising had it originated in Chicago; and yet perhaps there is ample reason for its Philadelphia origin. There is a human craving for stimulants under all cir- cumstances, and the duller the community the greater | the need of stimulation. Drinking at all seasons may satisfy other people, but the Philadelphians wish all seasonings in their drinks, and as a consequence the condiment cult has arisen and'restaurants suffer, A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. D ESPITE the complete failure of the advocates of the®once famous Volapuk system to intro- duce the rudiments of a universal language, a new aspirant for the honors and fame 6f a language creator has come forward in the person of a Russian, Dr. Zamenhop. He has given to his venture a pret- tier name than that of Volapuk. He calls it “Es- peranto,” and it is said to be as ‘simple as it is sub- lime. The teaching of Esperanto has been under way for some time among the learned. It is reported that Tolstoi took the course from the author himself and within two hours learned to read it well. The late Max Muller was another early student of the subject, and, although he made no such record as Tolstoi, was. delighted with it and was loud in praising its sim- plicity. Another learned advocate of the venture is M. Ch. Meray, professor of mathematics in the fac- ulty of sciences of Dijon, who recently wrote a letter to the Paris Academy of Sciences warmly commend- ing the new language for “its logical and swonderfully ingenious construction, and its aptitude to recapture with incomparable superiority the place which Latin held during so many years for the learned of different nationalities.” \ A recent summary of the report of Professor Meray says: “There are no grammatical difficulties in Es- Peranto. In 4l it has but sixteen rules, unburdened with exceptions, and seventeen grammatical termina- tions, so plain and simple that they fix themselves se- curely in the,memory after very brief application. There is no trouble with its orthography. Each sound is noted; eath letter is pronounced.” The subject has occasioned no little - interest - in Europe, where the need of a common language * is much more understood than in the . United = States. The French ;Academy of Sciences is occupying itself with the new language, and it is to be brought to the attention of the International Association of Acade- mies. Angther report says the members of the Vienna Dental Sociéty haye pledged themselves to maé}er it and to extend its use. It is evident, therefore, that Esperanto is not lacking in support, and before long we may hear of a proposal to introduce it into the public schools of all rations. .

While this is perhaps tiue of the individual it is surprisingly not true of the average man, who does not seem to lose much in height, probably because as age increases the short and less ro- bust are eliminated by death, leaving only the stronger type of individual. However these facts may be, 1t is true that certainly by 50 years of age we have arrived at anatomical and physiological maturity and that most of us by thattime have perhaps lost a little in height, al- though possibly inereasing in weight. It is also true that at 50 we are not nearly as good ‘“‘all-round” men as we were at 30. When People Complete Their Growth. Roberts says boys complete their growth at about 23 years of age, while girls arrive years, but neither arrive at their full strength until about 30, : . Whatever the final result of the physi- dal examiners may show along these lines, our subject leads us to deal with a ma- turity, 2 middle life and adult age, whici in common parlance, all mean the same thing. Our subject is the man or woman who has passed through the careless age when he or she is in the full fide of ifi- crease in all directions, past the time of freedom from cares up to the period when the individual is confrontedy with the ques- tion of how to live and care for a family. ‘When anthropologists come to write the history~of this generation they will have 1o mark it as an age of awakened atten- tion to the needs of the body, together with and because of a tremendous o strained -nervous life, the first being largely the resuit of the second. Recovery From the War Period. Thirty-five years 7go athletics and phy- | sical fun were things about which we | knew but littie. At that time we were just emerging from a civil war, tired, worrled, uncertain, two immense armies on our hands, our money of doubtful value, in-| dustries paralyzed—mentally and physi- cally tired out. But owing to the perse- verance and courage of our ancestors, who built their homes and raised their crops | in the presence of hostile Indians, we| have to-day a nation or greater pros- perity than any other under the sun.* Youths; What for| Adults? | | which our youth are endowed. | | | e you Aavataa it ja | maghinery it also increases our responsi- s has in a way run wild tion to which most would | ad--| 0 d yet every goecd thing i vances too far before it finally settlest back into a rational position.

The greatest peril of adult life to-day is physical inaction coupled with the ex- treme nervous tension of this new, rapid tury. ©Fhe Whole tendency of adult life to-day is toward hard living, intense living—in rapid progress in every direction—and in general, the more rapid any advance the more expensive the wear on the machine. Our machinery needs rest. Our brains are tired, and in no way can a tired brain Dbe rested so well as by giving it an entire charge of action. Take it away from the problems of the ledger; drag it from the office or store and make it go out of doors to the golf links.or tennis court, where, in company with your legs, both will be bettered. Do this and do it every day, and there is no reason why for many years you should show that you have passed into adult life, Up to the Time of Middle Life. The time of youth is the time of physi- cal fun. Exuberance of spirits calls for ction, and there are but few boys whom is _necessary to encourage to exercise, the difficulty with them being to direct rather than to encourage them.: With our girls the case is different—they do not seek the more robust form of exercise, and yet more and more each year they are coming to follow the way of their English sisters and through reforms in dress and changes in social ideas are more and more cultivating- health by physical exercise. But when we come to middle life, there is an entire change, and until the intro- duction of tennis followed and golf came in there did not seem to be any form of physical recreation which came naturally within the possibilities of the man who had “settled down.” Maturity Turns to Serious Things.. & Our average boy with a very fair physi- cal ipment with which to begin his life work enters adult life and its new vista of possibilities. Heretofore the wa$ has been smothed for him. The father and mother cared for his needs and kept cares from his shoulders. Now suddenly he finds himself a distinct and responsible factor in the work of the world. Life is no lenger merely living. Life now becomes a constant effort to live. Successful men are all about him and he enters the “push” keyed up to the fullest possible activity of mind. A Fortunes are not made with the hande in these days. The head must do the work or the desired increase will never be attained. A stock speculator loses a fortune before lunch or makes one before dinner. Shrewd purchase, sale, combina- tion, makes millionaires over night. When the temptation is so great, what wonder men fall under its fascination and what wonder we pay for it as we do! Cost of Modern tions. The fact is that when we have reached aduit life many of us have walked over into old age. e begin to be old as soon as youth has t 50 we have left our teeth at the dentist's, lunch counters and bars have ruined our digestions, hair tonics will not cover our bald spots and we sleep on drugs en unrested. Nervously we are tired out and lack the animation and courage necessary to | make us push out into any sort of muscu- lar activity. We do not take a summer vacation—many of us do—but that is not to us, people of 40 years, a time 8f active recreation, but is rather a time for being driven about the country or lying im a hammock. Get Back to Things of Youth. If adult life is not to be old age but rather a continuation of youth we must treat ourselves much as.we did in youth. We must rid ourselves of our cares at to Secure Most Completely Physical and Mental Development. e By Dr. Edward Hitchcock Jr, PROFESSOR OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND HYGIENE AND DIRECTOR OF — (COPYRIGHT, 1901.)

We as a nation are going through a period of colossal enterprises—enterprises that involve millions of dollars, that threaten revolutions, social, political and religious, and that malke necessary men to ccnduct them. It is not enough for a man to be able to think, but he must be able to do, and the man of the future can- not be a subject of nervous headaches; a dyspeptic _or a paralytic, but a man, hearty and well in all his parts; a man of muscle and endurance—a man who can think and act also, and of this kind of men we have far too few examples. No one wishes to be simply strong any more. The old ideas of Dr. Winship that health came through strength were fortu- nately short lived and the strong men who exhibit in dime museums are hardly lhebkind of men most of us would wish to_be. There is a great difference between be- ing strong and being robust, the latter auality, like everything else desirable, be- ing the more difficult to obtain, and is something for the absence or presence of which, certainly to some degree, we have to thank the generations gone before. Everybody Wants Health. After all, what we all want is health, not merely negative health—keeping out of the hands of the doctor—but a health which, as Blackie puts it, “is the growth and vigorous condition of every member of the\body.” ‘“Health,” says an old magazine article, to which the writer's name is not attached, ‘‘is perpetual youth. Health is to feel the body a luxury, as every -vigorous child does, as the bird does when itsshoots and quivers through the air, not flying for the sake of the goal, but as it flies when in broad swim- ming circles it cleaves the air merely for the pleasure of the flight—as the dog does when he scours madly across the meadow or plunges into the muddy blissfulness of the stream, But neither child nor bird nor dog enjoys its cup of physical happi- ness—let the dull or worldly say what they wil—with a felicity so cordial as_the | educated palate of conscious manhood or womanhood.
