The silver bill passed the house on
the 9TH inst. II is not all that was
desired by free coinage advocates, but
it may he the best that can be OBJ
tained from this congress, yet there
are strong friends OF silver in the SEN
ate, and they may be able to gather
strenth enough to defeat the PROPOSE
ton or clause which gives the secretary
OF the treasury power to redeem GER
tificates in bullion instead of coin.
The bill provides for the purchase OF
S4,5OO,OOO worth OF silver bullion
monthly by the secretary OF the treas
ury, to he paid for in certificates, which
shall be full legal tender for all public
and private debts. This amount will
probably consume all OF the silver
product OF the mines and would be
satisfactory to the west were it not
for the arbitrary power given the secre-
tary OF the treasury. who If disposed,
can play into the hands OF cunning
spectators. Congressman Carter
voted against the bill on account OF
the redemption clause.

independent: A visitor to Helena
tells the following story which he over
heard between two men on the Great
Northern while the train was passing
through Dakota. One man banked
high on the merits of Dakota, while
the other was equally enthusiastic
over Montana. The Dakota man told
Of the glOries OF the Bad Lands state,
the great quantity OF food it raised
which Montana had to buy. "Why
there are mining camps in Montana
that could buy out the whole state OF
North Dakota" said the Montana
enthusiast. "All you want" he con-
tinued, "to make Dakota a pleasant
place to live in, is plenty of water and
some good people.

American beef shippers have suf-
fered great loss owing to the decline
OF values in England, and the restric-
tions against the importation OF
American cattle. Just at present the
whole cattle industry is affected, but
England is short OF beef cattle and it
is thought that with rest ictiOns mod
iiied and that government assured OF
freedom from disease aOmng American
cattle, there will soon be a demand
with consequent better prices. This
have the embargo removed. A depu-
tation from Scotland recently visited
Chaplin, British minister OF agricul-
ture and asked him to modify the
rest rictions against the importation OF
American cattle. Chaplin said the
bulk OF the farmers OF Great Britain
lie unable to hold out the slightest
hope OF any modification OF the
present regulations governing the I'M
portatiOn OF cattle, even il cattle in
America were entirely free from dis
ease. 1t would seem by this that the
fear Of pleuro- pneumonia was a blind,
"a mere pretense, and the officials OF
free trade England were simply pro-
tecting the farmers from competition
with American beef shippers. But this
government will deal with "a higher
official than the commissioner Of agri-
culture, and there is show for better
success.

Observe also in examining the rug the way
the strips are joined This effect may be
secured by taking worsted needle and the
light brown cord tina. druggists use. The
stripes are sewed together over and oyer-the
stitches being taken over long knitting needle,
which can be slipped along as needed until the
strip is finished. Such covering for a divan
would be worth exhibiting as souvenir of q
summers holiday, and experiment worth
trying. II the material seems too thin when
finished line with some heavier fabric OF
course the length Of the strips and the size of
the rug depend entirely on the place it is in
tended for The same article speaks OF a some
what similar treatment OF blue denim making
alternate stripes OF the dark and light side of
the goods. These are worked in brilliant woods
in a pattern which may be copied from almost
any Turkey rug, a simple scroll or vine being
a good suggestion. These, when DONE are
much like the so-called Roman portieres.
CoNFoRTABLE FooTsTooLs.
Foot stools are among the comforts Of life
which may be made exceedingly attractive. !
speak advisedly when / say foot stools, for once
more these four-iegged little stools are the
favorites, to the expulsion of the hassock, which
has long reigned supreme. These small
footstools are quite attalnable IN several pretty
styles. Bamboo, rattan, white painted wood
and gilded wood are all to be found in the
shops. These are all ready for use without
upholstering, If one wishes to leave them SO,
but many prefer to make a cushion for the top,
which, of course, makes it even prettier to look
at. All the japanese prints, stamped crepes,
plush or many other materials are used
with good effect. The cushions may be
tied on with bows or fastened invisi-
bly,. Among the .'things that were
grandmothers" in one family are two of these
foot stools with solid legs as firm as when they
wero made. They are clumsier than the
modern ones and have been entirely covered,
generally with frills plated on the sides
