GENERAL MILES REPLY.
The Use of Angel Island for Ouarantin
Is Impracticable.

The Use of Angel Island for Quarantine
Is ImpractIcable.
Several days ago the Supervisors passed
resolution requesting Major General Miles,
U. 5. A.. to appoint a day upon which to
receive committee and hear argument
upon the proposition to set aside a part of
Angel Island for quarantine station and
smallpox hospital.
The General replied yesterday that the
scheme will be impracticablp. as it will in
terfere with the strengthening of the mill
tary defenses of the harbor now under con-
sideration, the island being the right flank
OF the only torpedo system yet decided upon
for the harbor.
A portion of the island now used by the
Government for q quarantine hos ital haa
already seriously interfered with target
practice, and Maj0r-General Miles thinks
the people Of San Francisco Will jeopardize
their best interests by any endeayor to use
the island.

Varying Value in Silver.

Silver in its relative value to gold,
has varied greatly at different times.
In the days of the patriarch Abraham
it was s to l; B. c. 1000 it was u to 1;
B. C. 500 it was 13 to l; and at the COM
mencement of the Christian era it was
9 to l. In the year 500 A. D. it was Is
to l in HOO it was s to l; and in 400
it was II to l.
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 ex-
changed evenly for one of gold. In
1900 gold was again worth ten times
as much as it's paler brother. In 1725
gold was thirteen times more valuable
than silver, just as it was 500 years B.
G. At the beginning of the present
century it had risen in value to high
er point than at any time since 500 A.
D., being fifteen times more valuable
than silver. In 1876 the ratio of sill.
yer to gold was twenty to one, and in
1886 it was at the highest point evel
known, since which time it has grad
ually declined to twenty to one.

Where Beauties Are Bred.

The great beauties who take the So
cial prizes in marriage are almost all
bred in the lesser towns, where a less
conventional society gives women a
snatch at freedom -girlhoOd. You
don't find them growing up with calls
themes, health lifts, and a massage-use
to do their exercise for them.
You all remember the painful story
of girl in a city home, surrounded by
every care, who was strangled in the
cords of her "health pulp one evening
little more than year since. Scarcely
more pitiful is her fate than that of
girls brought up to depend on such
substitutes for work and exercise if
they live. A sick, anamic woman, I'M
used, unable to care for herself and all
others. is the most pitiable, repugnant
object on earth. You seldom find a
lasting beauty which has not had a
semi-Greek education of outdoor life
and exercise behind it.
Take the beautiful Cummings, who
ran wild in their Irish country home,
till their calculating mamma had raked
and scraped enough to take them to
Dublin and thence to London. The
Cummings were unlicensed hoydens.
but their races over the hills gave them
matchless compilations. Later still
Mrs. Langtry took her beauty course,
rowing the Jersey lanes with her broth
ers in sea air, living on peaches anc
coarse bread, with as little lessons a:
sufficed to tit her for London drawing
looms.-LadieS' Home J0ur72di.
