English Simplicity in Dress.

Our wives and daughters have beer
told agreat deal about their exraya
gance IN costume when, compared will
the economy and simplicity of the well
bred English. They never fully believed
the story, and had NO faith in itsrelevan'
cy any way, However well founded the
latter position may be,we have long been
convinced that they were more than ball
rigbtih their incredultyI The factis,ex-
travagance prevails everywhere, and ie.
male extravaganza onlylgoes under the
general head, We are unwilling to be.
lieve that our own ladies are more censu-
rablesin this respectthan those of other
countrieS--snd if we may judge from an
account in our last English papers,, they
certainly are not. That is an account
very appropriately of case in bankrupt
cy, where a milliner's bill is fled. A
widow lady worth $500 year, married
Col, Waugl, now bankrupt and her mill
linery account from February, 1850, to
December, 1855, is handed in. The a
mount is over $500. But within two
months from the last date, her daughter
is married, and the bill for that brief pc
riod alone reaches the astounding sum SO
$40, 500. The items are given; but We
understand them as little as we should

THE CHRONICLE.
MONDAY, OCT. -, 1897.
Altogether too Wise.

We observe some of the Shamocratic
papers ascribing the financial distress, so
extensive, to the "ercessiee issue of rag
money by the new banks of 1877 On
the same principle, famine should be ex-
pcctcd forthwith after full harvest
But, reader, have you seen a single bill,
issued by any new Bank, yet? We have
not. Those who are properly managed,
foresaw the impending storm, aud but
three or four have issued any bills at all.
To throw out their money to day, and to,
morrow have it all come back, scraping
up every dollar of the specie they had Sc.
cured, to send away to Europe, would have
been folly. 1t would have been but the
mcrest temporary relief, and would have
crippled them for the future They have
wisely waited for a chance to ice, before
attempting to do business to any consider
able extent, especially in the way Of issu.
ing their own bills. But sclf-uterest will
dictate and induce them to do as large a
business as they can safely, and as quickly
a. possible

To SAVE CoAL.-The coming winter
will find thousands of workmen having
nothing to do, aud farmers, mechanics,
&C., with less of means than usual. 1t
may be very severe winter, like the two
preceding. To secure proper heat, for
cooking and for warming houses, may be
more difficult than to obtain bread. But
any one who will look at hundred coal
heaps, in town or country, will find that
on an average from one haLfto one fourth
Of tie coal is neocr really burned. All
stone coal ashes should be sitied, whereby
smaller particles may be burned over aud

week, and the cost Of the Chronicle in q

when moistened with water, and put or
plas'ered over larger coal, to keep up q
moderate fire in a small room, or on
warmer day, or over night. Get sieve
which has cover on top and tight re
ceiver underneath, and you can oroid The

PIoUs GAMBLERs.-One Of the most
amusing instances Of external piety We
remember to have witnessed, was in
Madrid club, where every night towards
twelve o'clock a rouge ct noir table opens.
Occasionally it has happened that when
the game was at the hottest, the table
strewn with gold and notes, eagerness to
be read on the flushed countenances that
craned over the green cloth, there was
heard in the street without the tinkle of
the bell that announced the passage Of the
Host Instantly the game was suspended,
the gamblers knelt upon their chairs or on
the floor, and crossed themselves and num-
bled prayers while the consecrated wafer
passed to some dying mans bedside. The
sound of the bell and of the steps of the
priests grew fainter, and as it died away
the gamblers resumed their seats, again
grasped their gold, aud stretched their
necks, and once more it was "rouge goyne

Don't Hoard the Coin.

There is an abundance of gold and sill
yer coin in the country for all the ordi'
nary transactions of daily life, if it is only
kept in circulation. A small specie cur
rcucy is the life blood of business, and if it
be wanting to any considerable extent,
business will languish, stagnate or decay
in proportion as its life blood is wanting
The propensity to hoard gold and silver
money is one of the lowest and meanest
vices Of the human mind. 1t is the very
essence of self-hness This propensity is
naturally heightened in times Of panic
like the present, and often seizes upon
good men who in ordinary seasons would
be entirely free from it. Let all who have
spark of kindly and liberal feeling ere
sist the temptation and it will fee from
them"
There is still sufficient gold and silver
iu the country to keep the wheels Of busi-
ness in motion, and thereby enable honest
Industry by daily labor to earn its daily
bread. Whatever Of want and suffering
may prevail this winter among those who
would labor but can find no employment,
will be largely owing to the boarding Of
coin. Those who cause this want to fall
upon the poor, will receive their pay in
due season, if it be true that "with the
measure ye mete withal, the same shall
be measured to you again. ."-Enchanye.
