The citizens of Nevada, representa-
tives of the various Silver Leagues,
irrespective Of past party affiliations,

the following declaration of prin-
cipIes:
First-We demand the full remon-
etization of silver and the free and
unlimited coinage thereof at the pres
ent ratio of sixteen to one.
Second-We are radically and un-
alterably opposed to the national Re
publican and Democratic parties on
the question of tho free coinage Of
silver, and we denounce the action Of
their recent national conventions as
inimical 10 the material interests OF

the other mining States and Terri
tories; and We hereby repudiate the
nominees of their conventions.
Third-We pledge the nominees OF
this Convention for Presidential Elec-
tors to support no man for President
or Vice President OF the United States
who is not unqualifiedly in favor OF
free coinage as defined by this Con-
vention. We reserve to tie Silver
Leagues OF Nevada, in convention as
sembled, the right Of directing said
Presidential Electors for whom TO
cast their votes, should contingencies 8
require.

A LOST ISLAND.
It Mysteriously Disappears Be-
meath the Sea-
Vessels Now Sailing Over the Spot Where
q Body OF Land Thirteen Miles
Long Formerly E1-
Isted.

The disappearance beneath the sea of
an island, long marked on the maps
and well known to mariners, is a very
rare occurrence. Such an event is re-
ported from the northwest coast of
Australia in u region where no white
enterprises are carried on and which is
rarely visited by ships. A German
sailing master reports the discovery of
the mysterious disappearance of Expe-
dition island. The first news was
printed in the Deutsche Rundschau,
and it has been reproduced in the
geographical journals of Europe. No
one knows when the island vanished
from view, and the only explanation of
the phenomenon apparent to the New
York Sun is that for some cause or
other there has been a sudden depres-
sion of the earth's crust in those
waters. The subsidcnce of the island
was not accomplished with such rapid
ity and violence as to attract attention,
through the disturbance of the sea on
any civilized coasts. If a sudden cata-
clysm had occurred, like that which
blew the greater part of ILral1atoa into
the air and scattered the fragments
over the sea bed, great waves would
have carried to far distant shores the
news that something unusual had oc-
CURED, for Expedition island had some
Importance in that region of tiny ocean
speclis, being much larger than any of
its neighbors. 1t was thirteen miles
long and on an average one mile wide.
The German vessel sailed back and
forth over the sea that has risen above
the island, finding an average depth of
forty-eight feet. In all the soundings
the plummct undoubtedly struck what
had once been the surface of the fat,
low-lying island. The surrounding sea
is some hundreds of feet deep, and the
landward end of the island was forty
miles from Australia, a little north of
the indenture known as Collier bay.
1t is known that the southern coast of
Australia is gradually rising, while the
northwestern, northern and eastern
coasts, with wide expanse of the ad-
jacent sea floors, comprise q great area
of subsistence. In other words, tie
carth's crust in these regions is very
gradually sinking. Expedition island
was in the extreme southwestern part
of this area of subsistence.
We are accustomed now and then to
the spectacle of a new island suddenly
appearing above the surface of the sea,
and we are not surprised when these
islands, reared upon unstable founda-
tions by submarine volcanoes, show q
tendency, like New Bogaslov and Fal-
con island, rapidly. to disintcgrate and
disappear again beneath the waves; but
it is very rare indeed TINT an island of
considerable dimensions and supposed
stability lenves these upper regions,
and it Is rarer still that it drops peace
fully out of view without letting the
world know, in some way or other, that
it is taking its departure. &"
TIE increase of population in France
during the last five years has amounted
to only one-half of one per cent. The
population of the great cities is increas-
ing and that of the rural districts de.
creasing.

Birth Does Not MAKE GentIewomen.

In foreign lands, notably in monarchies
rank or title is supposed to regulate hui
manity, to determine it properties. Every
woman belonging to the nobility must he
by right a lady, the word correspondent
with lord, and the synonym of the better
more significant term employed here. Cen
tlewoman is good American-English for
what an European lady often is not.
Lady is applied abroad 20 class or classes;
it is applied here improperly; for, in po-
litical and strict sense, we have no classes.
The gentlewoman is 90 choice product,
in any country and under any surround
ings, is composed of too many and too di-
verse elements, to stand for class or
group. She represents individuals only,
and the individuals may be found in va
rous grades of life No rank, no dignity,
no position can make her or unmake her.
We hear of gentle blood, meaning distin-
guished lineage; but no amount of gentle
blood, not all the blazOns of heraldry, can
create gentlewoman. Many queens and
duchesses are not gentlewomen, while the
commonest commoners are frequently
such.
When a queen or duchess deserves the
gentle eminence it is not from her rank
but from her attributes. from the subtle
particles that form Ter organization. X
is doubtful if the grntlewoman can be
fashioned by any sort or degree of training,
influence or education, much as these may
help her. She must be primarily the yield
of nature in generous mood, in her period
of benevolence to the race. II. Browne

Some Calculations.

A man whose head is bullying with
mathematical problems mas calculated the
disposition of every hour of the daily life
of an average man, and tells just how
many hours man of fifty has devoted to
his toilet, meals or news paper.
Let us assume" said he, that the
sleeping hours of an average man will
number eight daily. That is one-third of
his time, so that in fifty years your man
will have slept all told sixteen years and
eight months. The man who is shaved
daily at fifty years probably had his face
scraped not oftener than three times per
week at twenty-five years, while during his
first eighteen years Il razor never touched
his face
Say that the semicentenarian has aver
aged two shaves week for fifty years.
that will give 300 scra pes in the half cen
fury. At an average Of fifteen minutes
per shave the time devoted to this one
small element of life VIII run up to fifty
four days and four hours
If man should not shave in fifty wears,
and then attempt to make up his proper
tons all ut once, he would have to shave
night and day for nearly two months The
average man who is not limited to twenty
minutes for dressing, breakfast and catch
.ng the traia, consumes thirty minutes in
getting inside his clothing in the morning.
Half an hour per day for fifty years would
amount to one year, fiji. cen days and five
hours so that if n man should dress him,
self Mt the start in life for the whole fifty
years, he would pass two weeks beyond his
first birthday anniversary ~, and this means
working twcnty-four hours per day

HALL DECORATION.
An inexpensive Scheme for Pretty,
Bright, Cheerful and Comfortable Hall.

An inexpensive Scheme for a Pretty,
Bright, Cheerful and Comfortable Hall.
l might give many different schemes of
treating the hall, writes R. L. Robertson
in The Industrial World, such rs paneled
dado in oak or other wood; or, if the hall had
little light, you would be astonished what
glow of rich color could be had by paint
ing the walls vermilion, Just the color of
red sealing wax, and the ceiling a bright
yellow, but ! wish only to suggest that
which is comparatively costless, and GER
tainly no more expensive than the usual
method adopted. may here mention that
no ceilings should be of cold white color,
bnt should be tinted to suit the decorations
of the room, preferably of cream or
warm yellow color. When possible, there
should always be a fireplace in the hall, not
only for its bright and kindly influence,
but to check the entrance Of the cold, damp
air, and consequently adding much to the
warmth and comfort of the house. A cur
tain in the hall also helps to make the
house less drafty and adds to the general
effect. Lay the hall floor with tile or with
parquet flooring, which is certainly the
most preferable plan, or stain and varnish
the wood floor. Then rug or strip of car
pet, which can be easily lifted and cleaned,
will add to the feeling of comfort. If you
use parquet flooring, either in the hall or
in the rooms, do not have the designs COM
posed of different woods, such as the light
and dark woods so often used. Use one
kind of wood only, oak in preference, the
different grain of which will give quite a
variety of tone. AS regards furniture, you
require little, but let that little be simple
in design and thoroughly good in work
| manship. All you require is a small table
and racks for hats and coats and umbrellas.
and IA bench or chair If you are fortunate
enough to possess a few pieces of old armor
or brass plaques, you will use them very
| effectively here; failing that, a few char
coal drawings or etchings bold and effect
| i've, are of value

They Followed Cony.

In the days when mercl ant vessels came
home redolent of spices and loaded to the
brlm with silks and china, certain fam
lily determined to send beyond seas for a
dinner service which should outshine in
beauty everything thus far seen on this
side of the Atlantic. Original designs of
fruits and flowers, arranged in the form of
wreath, had been made for it by skill
full artist, and the sea captain who under
took the commission was charged to spare
no money or pains in having it properly
carried out.
Spring returned, aSrl here was much
watching of the vanes by this particular
family, and the ship news furnished the
most interesting column of the daily pa
pers. AT length the long expected vessel
arrived.
The box was landed and conveyed to the
house. The whole family was present At
the opening, which was performed by Mr.
A himself, while the servants peeped in
at the door.
As soon rs part of tie lid was split off
and a handful of straw removed, pile of
plates appeared, wrapped carefully in pa
per. Each of the family snatched up a
plate, and hastily tore off the covering.
There were the flowers, glowing in beauti-
ful coiors, the gold star and golden \ adj
mirably executed, but under the gold star,
ON every plate, dish and tureen were the
words, This in the middle"
The literal and exact Chinese workmen
had copied this direction infinitely from a
very crooked line which Mr.. A had
hastily scrawled on the pattern with IA very
bad pen, and of course, without the slight
est thought of finding it inserted verbatim
beneath the central ornament.
Mr.. A laughed, his wife cried, the
servants giggled, and tie daughter cried
first and laughed afterward
The only silver lining to the cloud was
the fact that thereafter Mr.. A ALWAYS
had something amusing TO tell his guests
at dinner party.-Pencl Sketches.
