HOW to PnlIsh Momen,s Footwear.

1t is no use at all TO put single coat Of
dressing on your boots. Two light ones at
least should be used, and three are better.
Let the boots dry for three minutes after
each application, and the effect will last
longer and more satisfactory than If ono
heavy dose had been given the leather.
Then, above all things do not rush for the
blacking bottle every time the boots look
a trife dingy. Take soft wooden rag snd
rub them Driskly. This will restore the
gloss without loading up the leather with an
unnecessary amount of dressing, which, no
matter how good it is. always takes from
the new look of shoes. 1t is we'll to put off
as long as possible the evil day when new
boots are blacked, for when once the plunge
is taken black they must continue to be till

to be held at Chicago during the Worlds

says: II can hardly answer this question
from the standpoint Of politician, but as
one dealing more or less extensively with
financial questions | must answer it from
the standpoint of business man. The sill
yer question at the present time is Ques-
tion which should be solved without un-
necessary delay, and | have always believed
that TO force the solution of this problem
the first step that ouI Government should
take should be TO repeal that portion of the
so-called Specie Bill which cOmpels the pur-
chase of 100000 600 ounces of silver every
year, and creates a vast accumulation of sill
yer, much Of which now lies in the vaults of
the Government This has added Sj0-
OO0,0 900 or $50, 600 900 year to the circulating
medium by the issuance of notes against the
same and should be stopped. I am heartily
in favor Of the proposition that we have an
international monetary congress, to be held
at the time suggested"
