When Money Becomes More Plentiful Prices Rise. Several causes have contributed a share to increase the cost ol'living, and the prices of property. The writer has already mentioned some of them, and proposes in this paper to show that an important factor in the increased prices of every thing, is the inllation of the cur rency, or money of the nation, both by paper and gold. Money is the representative of value, and in the ease of gold and silver coins, pos sesses intrinsic value in itself, be cause these metals are scarce, and valuable for use in the arts, for making spoons, watch cases, Jewe lry in gilding, dentistrp, pen mak ing etc. In civilized countries, money be comes not only the representative of value, but also the measure of value by which the prices of pro perty are established, and regulat ed. When money is unusally abundant, the prices of commodo ties will rise and be high. On the other hand, when money is scarce, and hard to get, the prices of things w ill be low. So far as I know, all authorities are agreed that any con siderable increase, or diminution, in the supply of money, produces a Corresponding rise, or fall in the prices of things for sale. This is not merely a theory, but a fact well established by the fi nancial history of our own, and other countries. At the beginning of the Revolutionary war the colonists were poor. There were no Roths childs, Barings, or Helnionts from whom to borrow money in America, and none could be obtained in Europe (until after the French alliance in 177!)) where it was generally believed that the colonies would be crushed to atoms by the immense superiority of Great Brit ain, in population and resottrses. The dilYerent colonies themselves had already in circulation consider able amounts of paper money which had been issued to pay the expenses of wars with the French and In dians. To this the "Continental Congress,'" in August, 1775, au thorized the issuance ol' notes to the amount oi' 8300,000, and other issues followed rapidly. The one for the year 1770 was for more than $20,000,000, and on the Ist of January 1777 the notes had depre ciated so that it required sl'_V> of these notes to buy SIOO. in gold and silver coin. The next year over §20,000,000 were issued and in 1778, one silver dollar would buy as much property as four dol lars of these notes. In 1770 one silver dollar would buy nine dol lars worth of these notes and in 17S0 one doilar in silver or gold coin, would buy 84.") wort h of these notes. More were issued after tliis, making the full amount issued 83(57,470,541. In 1752 tihs "con tinental" money had depreciated so that one silver dollar would buy 8500 of these notes if any person cared to invest in them. They were never redeemed, but left in the hands of the people, chiefly speculators, who had bought them for almost nothing. CASTKLAK. Free Scholarships in Nursing. The Philadelphia School for Nurses, 2210 Chestnut Street, Phila delphia, Pa., offers free scholar ships in trained nursing to young women in every state in the Union. The scholarships cover the full two years course, with room, board uniforms, laundrying, etc., includ ed and railroad fare paid to home town or district upon completion of the course. A home study course and a short ■resident, course are also provided, which quickly open the door of op portunity and enable progressive students to render a noble service to humanity and at the same time acquire for themselves a substantial income from the best paid occupa tion now open to women; besides qualifying every student to deal with emergencies in the home that may mean the saving of a loved one's life. Far-seeing philanthropist are ad ding to the resources of this school with the view ol ultimately extend ing these benefits to earnest, ener getic young women in all country districts and in all the smaller towns and cities. The institution is approved and endorsed by leading physicians and educators of the entire country. Some of the leading men of this State are its strong supporters and endorsers, as will be seen by the catalogue which will be sent to anyone who writes to the School for it. Stopping Crows From Fulling Corn. A farmer of one of the central counties wrote to State Zoologist 11. A. Surface, Harrisburg, about soaking corn in either coal tar or dilute carbolic acid to keep crows from pulling up newly-planted corn. He said that he suffered much damage in past years through the depredations of crows, and wants to get ahead of them this year. Professor Surface's answer to this letter contained the following: "It is commonly reported that corn should be soaked a few min utes in water containing a solution of coal tar or gas tar, and then spread and allowed to dry. This will make the corn so bitter that the crows will be suspicious of it and will not eat it for fear of being poisoned. I presume dilute car bolic acid would serve the same purpose, but I am not certain about this. Dfferent devices have been re commended t o keep the crows from pulling corn, one of which is strings stretched around and across the corn field. It is also recommended to sow corn on top of the ground about the time it commences to shoot through the soil, in order to feed the crows at this time, so they will not pull the grain that is plant ed. It is best for a person to try one or more methods and make a practice of that which he finds best."

THE COI'NTV COMMISSIONERS, Thos. E. Kennedy, Clerk. »-♦ i, ... - The great powers of the world differ about many things, but they all seem agreed in thinking that the best way to preserve the peace of the world is by keeping huge standing armies and building im mense war fleets. To the average onlooker the plan seems to be full of risks, and to say the least it in dicates that nations have not much confidence in each other. "Big lisli'' and "big catch" re ports are coming in a little slow this season, we haven't heard of any two feet specimens yet nor lias any one, to our knowledge, landed the legal forty of warden proof size. Sheriff Judson Brown made a catch of twenty live in one day, which, since we were out after them our self and secured one bite, sounds like a pretty good catch to us. The merchant who does not ad vertise is a man of leisure. lie has abundance of time on his hands which he may spend ingoing fish ing, or in attending base ball games, provided he has the means, or in sitting in a chair near his store door to watcli the people go by to spend their money with his more enterprising rivals in business. He can find time for any or all of these pursuits, because he does not ad vertise. I lis competitors have not the time, for the reason that they are kept busy waiting on customers whom they have reached by judic ious and generous advertising in the local press. These are the days when n.ost people having a little lawn and garden are doing their best to make tlieni beautiful. It is a most praise worthy thing to do, but why stop at that? Why not let all combine to make the "city beautiful?'' The satisfaction which one feels on seeing his own grounds look so at tractive wyuld be enhanced if the trees bordering the streets were properly trimmed, the grass mown and the weeds kept down. All such improvements, which cost but little to make, attract outsiders and make for the welfare ol the place.
