The downing of the silver amend,
mcnt to the Sundry Civil Appropria-
ton bill in the House of Representa-
tives is matter Of general congrat.
ulation. The vote measured
the strength of the silver fanatics.
In sustaining the ruling Of the Chair
which declared the amendment out
Of order, majority has registered
itself as opposed to the lightweight
dollar.
This ought to settle the question
30 far as the present Congress is
concerned. The silver men, how
ever, are quite capable of MAINTAIN,
ing the agitation, 1t will be urged
that their defeat was on an indirect
issue, and one in which the prcced,
ents of the House were against them.
This will not avail them. Their
campaign has been based on buster
and exaggeration Of their strength,
not only in Congress, but as respects
the popular support behind them.
1t has been shown conclusively that
even in the West business interests
view silver initiation with alarm, and
not with favor Fridays vote ends
the delusion that Congress is given
up to financial hcrcsy. The real
weakness of the silver theory is re.
vealed, and bullying by its advocates
will only provoke contempt.
Mr.. Bland, who may be regarded
as tho representative silver crank,
gave his case away Friday. lIc
withdrew in disgust from the meet
ing of the Coinage Committee, de.
claring that the hearings accorded to
the business interests which oppose
silver dishonesty had smothered the
Free Silver bill. This is the exact
truth. The silver swindIe has persisted
because examination of the motives
of it's prompters and information
as to its real effects was fatal to
its success.

The Canadian Trade Proposals

The great question to be settled
by the approaching Canadian cleo.
tions IL as to whether there shall be
limited or unlimited reciprocity be.
tween Canada and the United States.
The present Conservative govern,
mcnt insist upon limited rcciproci-
ty policJ, while the Liberals are in
favor Of unlimited reciprocity. The
proposals of the Canadian govern.
ment may be summarized Is follows:
!. Renewal Of the reciprocity
treaty Of 1854, with notifications
required by the altered circum-
stances Of both countries, and with
extensions deemed by the Commits,
sion to be to the interests Of Canada
and the United States.
.. Reconsideration Of the treaty
of 1883 with respect to the Atlantic
fisheries, with the aim Of securing
free admission into the United States
markets of Canadian fishery pro.
ducts, in return for facilities to be
granted to United States fishermen
to buy bait and supplies, and to
tranship cargocs in Canada, all such
privileges to be mutual,
3. Protection Of the mackercl
and other fisheries on the Atlantic
ocean and in inland waters.
4. Relaxation Of the scaboard
coasting laws Of the two countries.
3. Relaxation of the coasting
laws Of the two countries on inland
waters dividing Canada from the
United States.
G. Mutual salvage and saving Of
wrecked vessels.
7. Arrangements for settling the
boundary between Canada and Alas
ka.
1t is gratifying to note that the
sympathy and homogenity between
the two governments and their pco-
pie are steadily increasing.

The Barn Owl.

The barn owl, when she has young,
brings to her nest mouse every twelve min
utes, and as she is actively employed both at
evening and dawn, Is both male and female
hunt, forty mice day is the lowest com
putation we can make. How soft is the
plumage of the owl; how noiseless her
flight Watch her as she floats past the
ivy tod, down by the ricks, and silently
over the old wood. Then away over the
meadows, through the open door and out
of the loophole of the barn, round the
lichened tower, and along the course of the
brook
Presently she returns to her four downy
young, with a mouse in one claw and
mole in the other, soon to be ripped up,
torn and eaten by the greedy, swapping
imps. The young are produced from April
TO December, and not infrequently both
young and eggs are found in the same
nest. If you would see the midday siesta
of the owls, climb up into some hay NOW.
There in an angle of the beam you will
see their owlships, snoring and blinking
wide their great, round eyes. Their duet is
the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave like
nothing-else noise you ever hesSd Corn

wheel was at the May party of the Genesee
Bicycle club, of Rochester, n. Y, in 1888.
He rapidly rose TO the front rank in his ia
vorite sport, and in 1888, at the Interna-
tional exposition held at Buffalo, won the
worlds championship as unicycle rider,
making mile in 1915 on one wheel.
Mr.. Barber has several times beaten this
record on different horse tracks, having
made a mile on the unicycle in 3:25. This
does not go on record, as it is claimed that
the horse tracks are not a full mile for a
bicycle. Mr.. Barber has travelled through
out the United States with several first
class companies, and exhibited his wonder
full skill in almost every prominent city.
He is an honorary member of the Genesee
and West End Bicycle clubs, of Rochester;
OF the Allegheny cyclers, of Pittsburg, and
many other prominent clubs throughout
the country.
He is idolized by all the prominent wheel
men, and it is custom of the bicycle clubs
to attend in body at performances at
which he appears. Mr.. Barber thinks
his greatest trick is the one in which he
takes the bicycle apart while still perform
ing on it. He uses a specially constructed
wheel in his exhibitions. Els riding is I'M
eXcelled, and he well deserves the title of
the worlds champion.

greatest triumphs of her career. She was
placed at the head of the company at the
Royal theaJer. Dresden. This gave her
that greatly coveted title, "royal actress !"
For year she was content to remain the
protege of King John, but at the end of
that period she began tour which in some
respects has never been equaled by any
actress. Royalty entertained her in pal
aces and loaded her with favors Scream
ing crowds blocked the streets before the
aters at which she was to appear. Prince
and peasant alike did her the homage due
queen.
In 1867 she came TO America, playing
wholly in German. During the season of
1874 she appeared in the United States
again, but this time she spoke in English.
No better evidence of the indomitable will
which has carried her from triumph to tri
umph during her whole life can be given
than the fact that she mastered the Ian
guage in less than nine months, and mas
tered it completely. To this day she speaks
English with an accent--a charming ac
cent, which enhances the delight of con-
versation with her-but her construction of
sentences and use Of words is always
quantity correct.
Since that time she has been almost con-
tinually in this country, becoming best
known through her work as Medea, Lady
Macbeth, Marie Stuart and Meg Merrilies.
AS Meg Merrilies she doubtless found the
greatest triumph of her art She played
the part of the aged gypsy with a power
and subtlety that put it among the grand
est performances in the history of the
American stage, Through the majesty of
the tottering queen in ta6ters there shone
grim, deep humor which made her at times
almost uncanny and sent shiver through
her audience. The prophetic fury of her
scene with Dick Hatteraick was wonder
full. Such portrayal of SCOTS heroine
the rugged dignity, the quick passage from
a terror inspiring strength to weakness
that was sure to dim the eyes Of half her
audience-we will perhaps never see again.
And for all the wonderful pictures which
she has shown the world trihing accident
deserves thanks When she was a little
child she showed great aptitude for music.
At six years she was a really remarkable
pianist, and to that instrument she would
undoubtedly have devoted her life had she
not fallen one day with glass in her hand.
Her fingers were 50 badly injured that for
long time she was unable TO play at all
She then took up the training of her
voice, intending to become singer, bat
the teacher of elocution in one Of the
schools az which she studied luckily dis
covered her great histrionic talent, and
persuaded her to cultivate it and become
an actress.
1t has been proposed that her retirement
from the stage be made the occasion Of

the dramatic profession Surely such &C
ton will be bus an appropriate and well
deserved tribute. EDWARD MARSHALL

A Protest Against a Very Common Form
of 1t in Favor with Amateurs.
How many times, says writer in Good
Housekeeping, have we not taken up a
paper-sensible and practical upon most
subjects wherein it touches-aDd read, in
answer to an Anxious Inquirer" that
with few packing boxes, barrels and pine
boards. some cotton flannel of brilliant
hue, few yards of cheese cloth, and, worst
of all, an amateur paint brush and pot of
gliding. together with-well, the number
of dollars and cents TO be spent must de-
pend upon the writer's belief in the cred
ulity of the feminine pubhc-you can fur
uish your little room in such manner
that cousin James" eyes will open wide
with wonder when she comes from the city
TO make her annual visit. There is no
doubt about the last. Cousin Jane will
open her eyes, but the wonder will be that
her friend should have so suddenly devel-
oped such aggravated symptoms of feeble
mindedness.
The man who says that If you will take
up the old carpet, cover the floor with wall
paper and varnish it, you viii have floor
so closely resembling inlaid wood that
only connoisseur can detect the differ
ence doesn't supplement his information
with a statement of how much more like
inlaid wood it viii look after the sturdy

danced a Jig upon its shining surface.
Pine boards and broomstick may make
a substantial center table, but most wom-
en- would hate to trust their lamps there
on Packing boxes covered with cotton
flannel may make luxurious divans, but it
would take more down pillows than an in
expensive but comfortable lounge would
cost TO make the soft side of q pine
board" an easy resting place for the aver
age man.
Now we all know that barrel is very
useful article, but tell us, pray, why that
barrel, having served its term of useful
ness in its rightful place, should be sawed
into fantastic shape, covered with calico
or cretOnne, put upon something family
resembling rockers, and transferred to the
parlor, at the expense Of a tired body,
pounded fingers and eXasperated nerves,
when pretty little rocking chair can be
bought for a dollar and a quarter?
This fever of interior decoration has as
sumed a most malignant form. The mod
ern housewife Of moderate means fills her
rooms with a strange clutter of curious
things, ties a bow upon every projecting
corner that viii hold one, throws 'drapery"
over every picture frame, and then stands
back to view her work with admiration.
Let not the woman whose rooms look
bare and plain be discouraged. To the ed
ucated eye there is a restful charm in their
simDlicity.
