'vT 5 L. T O be tidy is to facilitate largely the workaday affairs that wo all more or less nave to Dear ami sliare. We need not be finicky, but we can be certain first of all that there is a place for everything and next that everything is in its place. Many of us know the girl who. hastening to class or lecture, leaves at home an uutidied room, open-lidded boxes, bureau drawers, suggestive of compressed earthquake, bookcase doors swinging in Imminent risk of demolition who litters hall stand and vestibule with discarded gloves and crumpled memoranda, whose belongings are distributed indiscriminately through every room, regardless of ownership. She evidently "waits tovkelp." but is she preparing herself meanwhile for the prospective service? Many of us know the patient mother who moves along in the track of thi. household hurricane to remove the debris, rearrange the surroundings, closo a box. smooth a glove, clear stand and table of encumbrances and make fast the dxr that endangers the precious volumes that it is supposed to guard, as well as the physical safety of some junior member of the family. We likfe to tell young people of a simple rule on mother enforced, the helpfulness of which it took years to realize: "Never leave a room without noticing whether there is not something there which belongs or is likely to be needed in another part of the house and will eventually have to be carried there." It ß astonishing how rarely you find yourself poing from room to room empty handed if you observe this rule and how many steps you save somebody who needs to have steps saved. Kx-Qnecn Isabella of Spain. Anxng the royal refugees of Paris none is better known than her Spanish majesty, tueen Isabella. Any line day ishe may be seen driving on the Cramps Klysees or taking a constitutional on the Avenue du Hois. In person she is very short and very stout. To render this fact less conspicuous she likes to be surrounded by women of greater i : x -n v i : k x i s a i ; i : i . i. a . circuinfcrenee than her own, and most f her dames d'honneur have been ladies of remarkable embonpoint. She is as fond of bright colors as her daughter, the Infanta I'ulalia. The (Queen's "bonnets are especially remarkable, and although the livery of her equipage Is not conspicuous, nor has her carriage any unusual feature, yet it may be distinguished half l kiloniet r av.v by lnr majesty's he: en IN and sc quently goe and is vers . :-ar. Isabella makes no n dines out. She l"rethe theater, however. d of a good play. Lnl Cirape Fruit. CJrnpe fruit is an admirable tonic. The sharp stimulus of fruit is one of the best things to set the digestive organs in order for the day. and the peculiar properties of the grape fruit give it marked medicinal value. W-hen eaten at luncheon it is prepared iu a different way than for breakfast service. For the seeond meal the contents of two halves should be scraped out, the seeds 7 and tough cone of dividing skin taken out and the pulp and juice thus obtained used to till one of the halves, which it will just about do. A tableypoonful of sugar and a tuhicsponful of rum or sherry, which is mixed with the jucy pulp, adds the perfecting flavor. At breakfast, with the longpointed orange spoon, the meat is eaten out as is that of an orange, and very little sugar is used, many persons preferring none, on the ground that its full medicinal value is lndter obtained. Women Mukc Good Harbers. Mrs. Im Is a woman barber in Chicago. She heard the other day that the Council was going to pass an ordinance prohibiting women from engaging in the occupation of barbering, so when the barlwrs held a mass meeting she presented herself in behalf of the hundred or more women who are to be found In Chicago shops. She represented that women are forging to the front in the business. "There Is a reason for this," she said. "Nyoinen barbers do not drink nor carouse, consequently their nerves are always steady and their touch light. They do not hew tobacco nor smoke clears and al-

ways treat their customers with the utmost politeness." This plain talk created a great uproar, but Mrs. Lee smiled and sat down, satisfied that she had shown the meeting that women can hold their own anywhere. When Nancy Led the Way. She has tightenel her cinch by another inch, she has shortened her stirrup StlJip. And she's off with a whirl of horse and girl, and I'm a lu ky chap! With a "Catch if you can! I'm as good ns a man!" at a breakneck pace we ride; I have all hut placed my arm round her waist, as we gallop si.le by side. When '"Hoop! Ki yi!" and, her elbows high, she spurts in the cowboy style; With a jerk aivl a saw at her horse's jaw, she's ahead for another mile! And it's Nancy's dust that breallx I must, and it's Nancy's trail I follow, Till I leave tie rut for a steep short a t, and I've caught her down in the hollow. Then into the creek, with a splash and a si. ick, to her saddle girth she- dares. "Oh. make for the shoal, or he'll stop and roll!" Hut it's little that Nancy cares. And up the hill she's ahead of me still, and over the ridge we go! And my steaming nag has begun to lag; but it isn't my fault, I know. Oh! fair astride does Nancy ride, and her spur she uses free, And it's little she cares for he gown she wears, and it's little I.e eures for nie! Hut the strawberry roan, with the sharp backbone, that Nancy rode that day, lie doesn't forget that Saturday yet, when Nancy led the way. I.ark. Feed the tlreen-I'yed Monster. The "green-eyed monster" has been the cause of so much human misery ever since the creation that it is indeed good news to learn that a French doctor claims to have discovered an eminently simple method of cxorciVing the liend from any mind In which it may have taken up its abode. This medical benefactor of his race is convinced that the emotion of jealousy depends entirely upon the physical condition of the person affected by it, and is, in fact, due to nothing else than an imperfectly nourished brain. His plan, therefore. Is to "feed up" the jealous person with plenty of stimulating and nourishing diet, and as the brain be comes more vigorous under this treatment, its malady will disappear. What could be more delightfully simple and agreeable? And what Lucullan feasts may be anticipated by the middle-aged husbands of young and attractive wives if experience proves the French doctor's prescription to be reliable? Improved Spirit Stove. A safety spirit stove lor curling-iron heating is shown below. It has been recently placed on the market. This stove has a double liame to increase the heating power. Two wicks accompany each la ni). the smaller one Hi ting entirely inside the tube. This, it is explained, does not burn, but from it a SPIKIT STOV gas is generated which is Ignited as it escapes through small openings at the top of tue tube. The larger wick Jits around the outside of the tili', and burns as shown in the illustration. Kadi stove h; provided with a cap for extinguishing the flame and preveniing evaporation of the alcohol. Two Toilet Hints. To prevent mosquitoes from harassing one, smear the hands and face with pennyroyal and keep a bottle of that pungent perfume open to frighten away the pests. Once they have succeeded in biting one the only tiling to do Is to anoint the bites with ammonia, lemon juice or salt. A sign of advancing age almost as inevitable as the crease in the neck Is the gradual receding of the gums from the teejlh. To counteract this tendency an astringent tooth wash should bo occasionally used. The teeth should, moreover, be brushed crosswise and down ratlA?r than up.

TERMS CLEAR TO ALL.

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN AN ELEMENTARY FORM. Monetary Conditions Can Re Reformed by Restoring Silver to the Place Given It by the Constitution The Meaning of Free Coinage. Kcudily Understood. There are certain terms, the meaning of which people who are intelligent enough on every other subject do not Beeni to grasp. Some of the questions which have been asked need to be answered in as elementary a form as possible. What is meant by free coinage? That the owner of gold and silver bullion may take his inetal to the mint and have it coined gratuitously, I. e., free of expense to himself. The tJovernment, however, in coining the metal adds 10 per cent, of alloy, which amount accrues as profit to the Government, anil is designated seignoirage. Why should this be allowed? It is the only method of giving a certain, fixed, undeviating value to our money, that is, to our primary money. How may money be classified? (1) l'riniary money. ("J) Credit token money. What is primary money? It is in fact the only real money. or It Is that, the volume of which fixes values. It is the money of final redemption. "All money is a medium of exchange, but only primary money is a measure of values." "What Is credit or token money? It is "money" which gets Its value by reason of the fact that It can be redeemed In money whose value is fixed and unvarying because of its right to free coinage and because it is a legal tender. In what class comes gold? It is our only primary money. It enjoys the right of free coinage; 25 S-10 grains of standard gold are worth $1 because the Covernment will coin that amount for anylody, stamp it that value and it is declared worth that by the law. It is a full legal tender. In which class conies silver? Prior to 1ST:;. 412 grains of standard silver were always worth $1, because the Government treated that much silver in the same way that it treated 23 S-10 grains of standard gold. Hut, now deprived of free coinage, no longer a full legal tender, the silver dollar is worth $1 because it is redeemable in a, gold dollar. A piece of leather made redeemable in a gold dollar would be worth as much as the silver dollar now Is. What, besides silver, is credit money? Anything is so which gets its value because It is redemablo in gold money. Treasury notes, greenbacks, certificates of deposit, bills of exchange, even bread tickets might bo classed as credit money, in the true sense. They are simply mediums of exchange, and have nothing to do with measuring values. What is meant by ratio. The proportion according to the number of grains in the gold dollar and in the silver dollar respect i vol. By ratio of IG to 1 is meant that there shall be (practically) sixteen times as many grains of silver in a silver dollar as there are grains of gold in a gold dollar. What is meant by standard? The metal out of which primary money that upon which all other must rest is made. We now have a gold standard. What Is meant by monometallism? The use of one metal as standard or primary money. What is meant by bi-metallism? The use of two metals as primary or standard money the "double standard" silver and gold. Has not standard another meaning? Yes. Standard gold means niue-tenths pure gold and one-tenth alloy. Standard or coined silver or silver ready for coinage has also one-tenth alloy; that Is. one-tenth of It is some less valuable meal, to keep it from wearing out easily, such as copper. What is meant by legal tender? Money which the law declares must be accepted In payment of a debt, when It is ottered by a debtor. When gold and silver were both allowed free coinage as primary money, both were unlimited legal tenders. The Government reserved the option to pay In either. Has the Government now that "option" or right to pay in either? Hy construction of the Treasury Department, this option has been surrendered to the creditors, who may demand gold whenever they choose. What proportion of credit money and of final redemption money have we? More than two-thirds of our currency Is credit money. The largest estimate gives us less than Oxj million dollars of gold. With silver made again primary money the proportion would be reversed. About two-thirds of our money would then be money of final payment. Suppose all the creditors of the Government should demand payment In gold at one time, what Would happen? The Government could not pay twothirds with oiitvthird. The Government at present has but S107,oX),(oo in gold, secured by selling $12,5tH),NK) In bonds, ami could not to-day on demand pay b' per cent, of its obligations in that metal. What is meant by the gold reserve fund? A fund of gold supposed to be kepi at about KM) mlllious in the treasury as an emergency fund to meet demands upon the stock of primary money. Why have such Immense amount of bonds been Issued? To get gold to replenish the reserve fund. Hy these bonds the government obligates Itself to pay gold to men at some future tlmo if they will put gold In the treasury now. Where do these men get this gold? Tao easiest place to get It Is at the

Treasury Department, by presenting credit money. The government places unborn generations in debt that it may buy back its own gold. Did the government not try to get this gold from abroad recently? Yes. it sohl bonds to a foreign syndicate, the Holhschihls, who control most of the world's gold. Where did they get most of the gold they furnished? From the Austrian treasury. Where will they get the gold to replenish the Austrian treasury? When their contract for "protection" of the American treasury has expired, from the F. S. treasury. They make millions by this. The people foot the bills. What objections are there chiefly to the present gold standard? There is so little gold in the world that tiie small supply of primary money contract values, makes every form of property to be sold low in price, Including labor, and enables the few who have the gold to control values by controlling that which fixes values; places the government itself at their mercy, makes the conditions of life harder, compels business men to do business on falling prices, strangles industry, keeps millions out of employment and breeds cdme, vagrancy, suffering, disease, dishonesty, prostitution and bad morals generally. In bringing about this condition .lohn Sherman has been the devil's chief ally. No man who has ever lived is responsible for more mischief. It is done in the name of "honest money." The priests of Mammon havo stolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. How would you reform this condition? Hy restoring silver to the place given It by the fathers of the constitution; the right it enjoyed from the government's foundation down to loT't, when it was surreptitiously discarded as primary money and gold made the only measure of values. Y'ou cannot restore it to its place as primary money, except by giving it the right of gold, that of unlimited free coinage, and full legal tender. What would result? Money would be worth less. Property, labor, men and women more. Farmers would be rescued from threatened serfclom, the people would have a better chance to get out of debt. With rising prices, manufactures and trade would increase and soon, instead of stagnation and misery, you would see employed thriving, happy and contented people. American Iiimetallist.

Why Cold Goes. Until the bonds were actually placed in the hands of the subscribers to Mr. Cleveland's last loan it was the easiest thing in the world for the syndicate to control the exchange market and prevent the shipment of gold. Hut now that the bonds are beyond the control of the syndicate, they can be handled in accordance with the individual wishes of their owners, who appear willing to sell them back to persons in this country, where a strong demand exists for them, especially on thf part of the national banks. How many of the bonds will come back, and how much gold it will be necessary to ship in order to pay for them, are of course problems which cannot be answered at this time. It is safe to assert, however, that if there is a profit in selling them back here, they will all lind their way again across the Atlantic. These gold sharks will play this ganitt for all It is worth, and as long as a dollar can be made out of it. Now that they have the bonds they are sending them back for gold. When the gold Is all drawn out of the treasury they will compel another bond issue, and so it will go on until the American people lire of being buncoed, and return to a policy of bimetallism, under which silver as well as gold can be used In the payment of these bond obligations. Experience comes high, but it will impress Its lesson sooner or later. Denver News. Hound to Win. "The silver question will never be dropped in America until free coinage is passed." said Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri, replying to a question concerning the Missouri and Iowa conventions. "The people In the I'ast." he continued, "believe it will be dropped as business revives; but the overwhelming sentiment in all the West and Sonfli is In favor of free coinage. I believe it will surely be passed in time. What the result of the passage will be I am unable to predict. The whole of the money power of the Fast and ihe banks everywhere will undoubtedly mako it as dillicult as possible to try to furnish striking object lessons. Easterners say we in the West and South do not understand the question. Hut there never was a subject more fully discussed or more carefully studied. There is not a farmer in my constituency who is not fully prepared to discuss Intelligently all the bearings of the question, and the same stato of affairs exists throughout the Southwest." Webster on Silver Coinage. Daniel Webster, the greatest constitutional lawyer this nation has produced, said: "I am clearly of the opinion that neither Congress nor any other authority can legally demonetize either silver or gold." If one coin can be dethroned as money, then the other one can be, and thus the constitution could be disregarded yus. overthrown. Mr. Webster made one other statement at the same time which is commended to the most thoughtful consideration of gold standard men. These are his words: "The command to Congress is to coin money, not destroy it; to create legal tender money for the use of the people, and the grant of authority to cre ate money cannot be construe to uiC&U j authority to destroy nioneyV

RUN BY LIGHTNING.

Peculiar Accident that Befell a Trolley Cor in Norwich, Conn. . The latest prank performed by wutmeglightning was starting Motorman Harlow Ladd's trolley car at Norwich, Conn., and whizzing it ten rods along the track without any help from tho rumbling dynamos that were grinding out refined electricity in the company's works, half a mile away. Harlow had reached the end of tho Greenville route, switched the electric current from the motor, and. brass handle-bars in hand, I 1 t stepped across the street upon the side, walk. The trolley was still connected with the wire, liight overhead a big-, round thunder cloud, black and threatening, spun slowly about, portentous with muttering thunder. The rest o! the firmament was serene and blue, unsullied by a patch of vapor. Suddenly the frowning cloud mass was riven by a zigzag shaft of glittering flame that was shot straight downward against the car motor and made it ring like a bronze bell smitten with a hammer. The report, said Motorman Ladd, was far louder and stronger than a pistol shot. Then, with surprise amounting almost to awe. the motorman beheld his car, Impelled by crude electricity from the clouds, shoot forward eight or ten rods along the track. It did not move very rapidly, and by running he overtook and boarded it Just before it came to a halt on the rather stiff grade. In the opinion of motormen and other street railroad operatives, the thunderbolt, heavily charged with electricity, acted on ths car motor momentarily in precisely the same way as the regular electric current from the company's works. In the same storm a trolley car operated by Motorman Ed Ladd, a cousin of Harlow's, was touched up in a similar way on Franklin square, in Norwich. The car was in motion at the time. A long, zigaag tongue of flame was shot like a javelin straight through the open car. Luckily there were no passengers aboard. Conductor John Cousins, who was on the rear platform and had his hand on the brass railing, received a considerable shock. Motorman Ladd was still moro severely shocked. Most of the bolt went into the platform switchbox with a ringing report. New York Sun. Women of 170,". Here is a curious extract from the Lady's Monthly Magazine of 1?J5, which is written iu the style of the proVerbs, as follows: Who shall describe a woman of fashion? Her value is only in her jewels. She seek eth powders and paint, and with her hands willingly maketh cosmetics. She bringeth food and raiment from afar, that it may be moro costly; nothing homely, or cheaply purchased, pleaseth her. She eonsidereth a piece cf china and buyeth it, and squandcreth her husband's money iu vanity. She girdeth not her body with modest raiment; her apparel is scant and undelicate. She maketh her house the resort of gamblers; her candles burn and give light to evil doings. She layeth her hands on the cards; yea, eagerly her bauds divideth tho pool. She maketh card purses, and deliver eth tickets of invitation for masks and revelry. Sheoponeth her mouth to utter evil words; her tongue rotaileth scandal. Her children are nurtured by a stranger and respect her not. Her husband, too, lie despiseth her. Fortune, birth and beauty might have raised her above all others; but she is the child of folly. Her conduct should, therefore, havo made her a pattern for all women and her works would have praised her in the gates. Ilridgo Fortj'-one Miles In Length. A gigantic undertaking, the bridging over of Polk's Strait, separating the Island of Ceylon from the mainland of India, is seriously proposed by the Ceylon Government, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. The strait is forty-one miles broad at its narrowest point, double the width of the English channel, but Is very shallow, In many places only six feet deep. The islands, reefs and channels In it have been recently surveyed, and the cost of works, extending over sixty-one miles, including the Pambam Channey and the Adam's Iirldge reef, is estimated at l!S,XH3,O00 rupees. The nds will be connected by 145 miles of railroad with Colombo, the great harbor of Ceylon, on tho one side, and by ninety miles of road with Madura, the nearest point of the Indian railroad system, on the other, if narrow gauge is used, this can be done for 11,000,000 rupees more.
