1t is hard 10 answer an article that
asserts nothing in the way of fund
amental principles, neither ad-

under the proposed arrangement,
silver is to find its way into the
pockets of the common people. I
have already answered that ques-
ton several times, but will answer
it again.
The silver miner or any other
party who gets hold of silver can get
it coined and putt into circulation
BY buying anything he may need
Or imagines he may need. Far
mers and laborers as a rule prefer
silver coin to silver bullion and
would be glad to get legal tender
coin for their produce or labor. So
hat it is not probable that the
miner will have any difficulty in
circulating his cash. If they
should conclude that they did not
want silver, the miner could keep

The above communication has
been on THE TR1BUNE's desk for
some weeks and remained unan-

not have any information on the
subject save the same hearsay

but intended at the proper time to
give such official information as
was obtainable.
The TRIBUNE will state in the
the first place that it is not the

year-the Idaho Democrat having
been selected as such paper at the

from the Democrats columns such

readers. We do not say that this
important matter was not given in

meeting-it very likely was-but
not having copy at the time of

Rnok Carringe.

A cOrtrivance called book carriage and
protector is intended for use in the library
and iH the ordinary bookcase. AS a rule
the lover edges and corners of che bindings
of books are worn by being drawn across
the shelf. The body or leaves of the book
also settle down on the shelf level with the
binding, thereby pulling forward and fiat
tening the backs. and eventually disjoint-
ing the book. Thus when books are con-
stantly in use rebinding is often necessary
and constitutes quite an item of expense.
The book carriage is devised to obviate all
this trouble, and is constructed of wood,
and of various sizes, so as to hold different
sizes of books.
The bottom of the carriage is provided
with rollers TO facilitate the pulling out of
book, and is so shaped that the edge of
the binding rests upon the carriage. An
upper layer of wood holds up the body or
leaves of the book. When book is needed
the hook in front is grasped, pull given
and the carriage with book thereon is at
hand. Considerable shelf space may be
gained by this device, as small space be-
tween the top of the book and the bottom
of the shelf will suffice.-New York Com

A girl was one of a pair who had reached
the gate. How soon the gate is reached
when it marks the end of walk with your
girl! She fingered. She was girl of

it off his mind. Brown made a move
nearer and slipped his hand along the fence

started, turned up his coat collar and
seemed about to depart.

him off.

Brown, but he turned down his coat collar
and leaned against the gate. Silence.
He shufiied his feet. Then he slipped his

and she said, "Well?" He turned up his
coat collar and appeared about to depart,
but she said, 'WelI?' again.

after a moments thought and with much

What She Meant.

The language of the Irish servant grip
sometimes requires Interpretation before
it becomes ineligible to the average lis

something of the difficulty of dead Ian

What are me duties, if we place,

ing, the washing, some of the sweeping,
and other things which I will tell you as
they come up" said the mistress. and
Thursday afternoons, when Mary is out,
you will have to answer the bell and wait

"An' will yez stretch for yourselves or

doubtfully.
What do you mean?" asked her mis-
tress, who, after an explanation which
took some moments, discovered that her
new cook meant to ask whether she would
be required TO pass the various dishes at
dinner, or whether the family would serve
hemselves.-YOuth's Companion.

the short runs are extremely monotonOus,

A Finger Nail Sixteen Feet Long.

The question of whether Chinese finger
nails will come into general use as articles
of jewelry is zone which interests shell and
precious stone dealers. The Chinese judge
their gentlemen as Americans do their
idlers-by their long finger nails. A re-
porter has seen among the heirlooms of a
heavy weight merchant in Chinatown a
nail which attained the great length of
thirteen inches, and the Chinaman's grand
father was reported by the merchant to
have raised one eighteen inches long on the
index fnger of his left hand. The mer-
chant at that time said there was nothing
wonderful about that as he knew Chi
nese priest who had nail on the little
finger of his left hand which was sixteen
feet and some inches in length, and the
priest was then but GS years of age.-San

The Language of Commerce.


From the American Register.
A paragraph in an English news
paper says that the English language
is now spoken by liz, 900, 900 of people
who live in nations or colonies in all
quarters of the globe. And further
English has become the language OF
commerce in many parts of the world
where it is not the prevailing tongue,
and the use Oft is extending year by
year In financial and commercial
transactions. French is generally
conceded to be the language OF
diplomacy and knowledge Of
1t is an essential requisite to
any man who would make a
name in the diplomatic world. In the
field of commerce Spanish is more
prominent than French, ranking next
to English. In the various parts OF
the world Spanish is spoken by more
than $4,000, 900 Of people, who are di-
vided into greater number OF dis
tinct and independent governments
than are the English-speaking race
For instance. there are in the west
ern Hemisphere sixteen republics
whose people speak the Spanish Ian
guage; there is the Republic of An
DORA lying in the mountains be-
tween Spain and France. and there
is, of course, the mother country,
Spain. Spanish is also spoken in the
Canary Isles in the Atlantic, in the
Philippine Islands to the south of
Asia, and in northern Africa. 1t is
also spoken in Palestine by the
"Shephardhim" Jews, descendants
of those who were driven from the
Spanish Peninsular 200 or 500 years
ago. They comprise many of the
Weather Inhabitants OF Jerusalem.
their ancestors having accumulated
considerable fortunes before their
Punishment. One may say, therefore,
that the Spanish language is spoken
from Jerusalem TO the uttermost
parts of the earth, which is not
exactly the case with English,
French or any other tongue.
The language spoken by the greatest
number of human beings is Chinese,
of which there are manv dialects and
varieties. But in spite of their numer-
zeal superiority, the Chinese people
are little likely to extend the use OF
their language beyond the borders OF
their own country, and the merchants
who condu their business in Anglo
Saxon need be under no apprehension
of being compelled to learn the YER
nacular of Canton and Picking.

How to BE Hungry at Rreakrast,

Breakfast is rather failure as a meal
with town men. That ought not to be-;
there is something wrong wher a man is
not vigorously hungry in the morning.
Where is the fault? Is itin the late dinner?
Not in the dinner, probably, as much as in
what is drunk at dinner; in that and in
the nervous strain of the times. It does
not matter whether we dine in the middle
of the day or in the evening, so long as we
dine judiciously. But the man who has
much work TO do, and particularly brain
work, cannot dine in the middle of the day.
If he does he must make up his mind to
lose at least an hour of his most valuable
time.
A light luncheon at midday, with no
stimulant stronger than Il cup Of coffee or
a bottle of ginger ale, is the suitable thing.

CALIFORNIA; BIG TREE.
Where the Finest Specimens of the
Mammoths Are to BE Found.

Where the Finest Specimens of the
Mammoths Are to BE Found.
From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiSer.
Many Californians regard their tall
trees as the chief glory of the State.
The most celebrated of the big tree
forests is in MarIposs county, about
twenty miles from Yosemit valley.
thirty miles southeast of the town of
Mariposa and 140 miles almost due
east of San Francisco. This grove,
writes correspondent, is composed
of over 400 giant trees, the largest of
which are 80 feet in diameter and 800
feet high. The grove covers q
space of half mile wide by three
quarters of mile long. Botanlsts
call the mammoth tree the sequola
gigantea. 1t is found only in Califor-
MIA, on the western slope of the Sierra
Nevadas, between ATTITUDES $40 and
az. 1t is cone bearing evergreen,
n d.creeived it's botanical title from
En- dlher, the German botanist. 1t
grow at q height of about $500 teet
above the sea level. The first speci
mems discovered were a cluster OF
ninety-two, covering a space of fifty
acres, in Calaveras county. When
the Californians first announced the
discovery of the big trees, the
world was inclined to doubt
their existence. There are seven big
tree groves-three in Mariposa con-
tanning 134 trees over fifteen feet in
diameter, and 500 smaller trees; one
in Tuolumne County, one in Calaveras
County and two in Tulare County.
In every grove there are giant cloud
sweepers from 275 to 375 feet hie b,
and from twenty-five to forty feet in
diameter. Some of the largest that
have been felled show by their rings
an antiquity of from 1000 to $500 years.
The California grove attracts more
visitors than the others, because it is
more accessible. There are ten trees
in this grove thirty feet in diameter.
One of the trees which is down is est.
mated to have been $50 feet high and
forty feet in diameter. 1t was the
noary monarch of the grove and died
of old age, say $500 years. A hollow
trunk called the "Horsehack Ride
IS feet long, gets its name from the
fact that a man may ride through il
upright on horseback. Just after the
discovery of the grove one of the
largest of the trees, 80 feet in circum
ference, was cut down. Five men
worked twenty-days in cutting
through it with large augurs. Oh the
stump, which was planed off ne lrly
to the smoothness of a ballroom floor
there have been dancing parties anC
theatrical performances. For little
time newspaper called the Big Tree
Bulletin was printed there.
One tree in the Tulare grove, &C
cording to measurements by member
of the state geological survey, is 81
feet high, log feet in circumference a.

Perfumed for a Thousand Years.

The mosque of st. Sophia, in CONSTANT
nople, is always fragrant with the odor of
musk, and has been so for hundreds of
years, ever since it was rebuilt in the Ninth
century, the curious part of it being that
nothing is done to keep it perfumed. The
solution to the seeming mystery lies in the
fact that when it was built, over 1000
years ago, the stones and bricks were laid
in mortar mixed with solution of musk.
