The circulation of the standard silver
dollars from the treasury vaults has prac-
tically stopped altogether. During the
fall and early winter there was quite a
demand for this coin for the purpose of
moving the crops. That demand stopped
when the crop movement was over. Since
the first of January last there has been no
call for silver. All of the dollars that
have been coined since that date remain
in the treasury. Further than this. some
of the silver dollars then in circulation
have found their way back into the vaults.
The amount outstanding has steadily de-
creased. The coinage at the rate of a
little over 100000 a month still goes
on. The question of storage will soon be-
come an important one if the present con-
dition of the silver dollar continues I'M

Dress Children Neatly and Warmly

No child is prettier for an elaborate
design of dress. A single ruffle at the
edge of the skirt does very well, but it is
quite as we'll without it. And to cut up
the tiny space of a child's dress with
loopings and trimmings and ornament
seems to US to make them look like
monkeys. Not even the sash is beauti-
full for a child. A child is constructed
first of all to eat, that it may grow; to
receive impressions, that it may learn !;
therefore the head and stomach are
large in proportion to the rest of the
body. When the little figure is nude,
so that the soft, fleshy form can be well
seen, all this is beautiful; but to en-
phasize in the draped form of the child
the large stomach by broad sash is
utterly against all rules of beauty. The
legs and arms are often beautiful, but
to show the legs by cutting off the dress
at the hips is immensely awkward, and
seems chiefly to serve to display the
drawers, which are not a beautiful gar
ment, and should be entirely hidden.
Beside this, in winter our climate is
wholly inappropriate for any such ex-
posure, and we shall best see the beauty
of healthy child in the easy, untram-
meled motion as it moves about in .
simple dress (of as handsome q ma
teria as you like, provided that it is un.
trimmed), which is long enough to b.
warm and loose enough to be comfortar
BILE. If you want your children to be
graceful, let them be unconscious; If
you want them to be healthy, let them
be sufficiently warm. No woman can
have fine complexion who as . child
has been habitually chilled, and We see
in the winter many children who seem
literally to have nothing on them from
the waist down. They could much bet
ter afford to put it the other way. and
wear nothing from the waist up, the
lungs and heart being at less expense to
warm the upper portion of the body
than the legs, which are further away
from them.-Harper's Magazine.
