The Varied Value Of Silver.

Silver, in its relative value to gold,
has varied greatly at different times In
the days Of the Patriarch Abraham it
was to 1; B. c. 1000 it was 10 to 1; B.
C. 500 It was 10 to l, and at the COM
mencement Of the Christian era 1t was
Q to l. In the year 500 A. D. it was 1s
to 1; in HOO it was 8 to l, and in 14O0 1t
was II to 1. In 1854 gold was only six
times more valuable than the precious
white metal, silver, and within the NEXT
hundred years two pounds Of silver
could be exchanged evenly for one
OF gold. In 1900 gold was again worth
ten times as much as it's paler brother.
In f725 gold was thirteen times more
valuable than silver, just as It was 500
years b c. At the beginning Of the
present century it had risen in value to
higher point than at any time since
500 A. D., being fifteen times more val.
uable than silver. In 1870 the ratio Of
silver to gold was 20 to and in 1885 IL

Some time ago the Youths Compan-
ion offered S., 900 in prizes for the three
best stories for girls, the three best
stories for boys, and the three best
stories Of adventure. The recent award
ing Of the prizes brings out the curious
fact that only one well-known
story-writer, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
appears among the prize-winners. An
other suggestive fact is that two of the
prizes for stories for girls were won by
men, and two Of the prizes for stories
for ooys were won by women. This
would seem to indicate that men can
write the best stories for women, and
vice versa, although this inference is
hardly borne out by other facts.

A BANK ROBBED.
Professional Cracksmen Obtain $4,000
by Blowing Open the Safe Of tho Salon
(nl.) National Bank.

(ul.) National Bank.
SALEM, ILL.,, Feb 15.-At 8 o'clock
Friday morning B. F. Marshall, cashier
of the Salem National Bank of this city,
came to the bank and unlocked the
door as usual and stepped inside. He
at once detected q strong odor like pow
der, and, having proceeded into the Of
fee, he made the startling discovery that
the door Of the vault was open. Upon
looking in he was still further shocked
to see the door of the safe shattered.
The bank had been entered by burglars
and robbed. The cashier at once gave
the alarm. The news spread rapidly
and soon hundreds of citizens repaired
to the bank. Great excitement prevailed,
and many Of the depositors were fearful
lest the robbery should result in
the loss of their deposits They were
soon assured, however, by q notice
signed by the cashier, that, though the
extent of the robbery had not been
ascertained, the depositors need
have no uneasiness as they would
not be allowed to suffer any
loss in consequence of the robbery.
Later another notice was posted up
signed by the president General ]. 8.
Martin, and the cashier, that the bank
would open for business to-day as usual.
The statement was subsequently made
that the amount of the robbery would
not reach s15, 900, but it is believed by
many that it will far exceed this sum.
The vault was built about two years
ago, when new safe with a time lock
and the latest improvements was pur-
chased. The safe was guaranteed to be
burglar-proof. The door of the vault
was double, heavy iron one, and with
feeling of security no one slept in the
bank and there was no night-watchman.
Parties have been securing the country
in search of the robbers, but thus far no
clew has been obtained.
