has adopted Western methods, and has
gone to Germany TO help it to introduce
them effectively.
At this point, however, comes in the
monetary difficulty. China is exclusive
ly a silver country, as are all nations
OF the Orient. Its exports have always
exceeded its imports, the balance being
settled III silver, which was chiefly fur
nished by England, whose merchants
made a double profit by selling Chinese
exports for gold Germany having dis
credited silver, as England had pre-
viously done, was at a great disad-
vantage, compared with its rival. Eng
land, while itself gold standard coun-
try, controlled the silver market OF the
world through its Indian Empire, which
maintained the silver standard, and
therefore if Germany is to retain the
profits upon its railroad construction in
China, amounting to about 5000, 900, 900,
it also must have an adequate supply OF
silver, otherwise British intermediates
will pocket the bulk of them.
Hence we find it stated that Berlin
agent had recently been in communities
ton with English bimetaIlists, and had
prepared a strong report in favor Of an
international consideration Of the double
monetary standard to be presented to
the German Government. This is what
the United States and the members OF
the Latin Union want. Germany and
England have held aloof, however, but
now imperial considerations of trade
may induce the former to give way,
while the latter is pretty evenly divided
on the subject, with the tendency
towards bimetallism. 1t is stated in
the New York's Suns special
cable message, that a private ar
rangement has been made by the
German agents for the construc-
ton of the proposed Chinese railways
for the Chinese Government, and that
the German banks will introduce a
double currency before more elaborate
transactions with China shall commence,
which will be early in 1887. The nego-
tiations now pending between the Ger
man and the Chinese agents for the es-
adjustment of transmarine bank were
resumed by order of Bismarck, who was
influenced by official reports from China
that if the double currency was adopted
Germany would get the lions share OF
the contracts for building the Chinese
railroads, besides an increase in the de
mand for German products; hence the
substituting of the direct steamship line
between Germany and China.

A husband and s15 Ahead.

At a rather stylish party which occurred
on Monroe street about two months ago,
the groom put a $50 gold piece in the
kidded hand of a small brother-in-law,
with directions for its transfer to the par
son, and hurriedly left the room. The
bride, hearing the conversation, sue
ceeded in OBTAINING the Juvenile, and

had given her for "traveling trihes, y
snapped gold pieces and called herself
"just a husband and $15 ahead" She
changed her mind very shortly as to the
monetary gain, for the first thing she
heard as she emerged from her room in
her travelling suit was: "'Tain't as big as
the one he gave me first Sister kept it
and said this would do well enough"

ForetoId bv an Ancient Oracle.

According to a French paper the Count
de Lesseps was foretold by an ancient
Egyptian oracle! 1t says: "HerodOtus re-
lates that when NecO, king of Egypt, I'M
dertook the work of uniting the waters of
the Mediterranean and Red seas, by
means of a canal, $4,000 men persisted in
the work. He then caused the work TO be
stopped and consulted the oracle, receiv-
ing the reply, A barbarian will finish thy
work The gentleman who alighted upon
that bit of history copied upon sheet of
paper the paragraph from HerOdotus and
carried it to de Lesseps who, having read
it, took his pen and appended, The bar

Cultivation of a Natural Laugh.

Man is the only animal who laughs, but,
for all of that distinction, he often sinks
below those creatures that are not gifted
with sense of the ridiculous. Very few
human beings know how to laugh, and the
noise they utter expressive of hilarity is
sometimes frightfully unmusical and alb
surd, though it offers a relief for their
feeling. A natural, hearty laugh might
be cultivated, precisely as the combination
on the stage is produced by study" and
when a person breaks into hysterical
squeals of pleasure, or chokes and gasps
with the effort to show his appreciation of
fun, there would be some harmony in the
sounds. Life is too serious for most of US,
perhaps. to go about in the role of the
laughing philosopher, but if we could
train this special gift, as we train other
human qualifications, it would be much
more agreeable for society at large The
5nan or the woman who carries around
the power to laugh has a panacea for
dyspepsia on which there is no copyright.

Artificial Substitute for Natural Ivory.

An extensive industry has arisen in
France to supply an artificial substitute
for natural ivory in view of the growing
insufficiency of the latter to meet the de-
mands ST art and industry The majority
of the products formerly employed were
obtained by injecting whitewood with
chloride of lime under strong pressure.
At the Amsterdam exhibition, however,
almost all the products had been prepared
with the bones of sheep and waste pieces
of deer and kid skins. The bones are for
this purpose macerated and bleached for
two weeks in chloride of lime, then heated
by steam along with the skins, so as to
form fluid mass, to which are added a
few hundredths of alum; the mass is then
filtered, dried in the air, and allowed to
harden in bath Of alum, the result being
white white tough plates, which are more
easily worked than natural ivOry.-Chi-

there again. When the Troy rowdies saw
the return Of the show announced they
smiled grimly, and promised to demolish
it entirely this time In the meantime
Dan went 10 New York and engaged 100
sluggers, regular short-haired brutes, who
would rather fight than eat. He brought
them to Troy with the show. In the even
ing the tent was filled, but there wasn't q
single lady in the entire audience. Dan
had his LOO pugilists scattered through the
audience, and had the canvasmen ready
to jump in at the word. Well, the show
went along all right until Dan was in the
ring doing his famous act with his blind
horse. There was something thrown into
the ring by one of the spectators. That
was enough. Dan yelled Hay, Rube!'
and those 100 pugilists began their work
in royal style. 'Biff bangn went their
