BRUSSELS. Nov. 2S.-The Rothschild
proposals were submitted to the none
tary conference this afternoon. They
covered eleven printed octave pages.
Rothschlid argue at great length that
bimetalism in Great Britain is absolutely
impossible, and suggests that the queS-

extend the use of silver generally, and
by this means assist in checking a fur

but he did claim they would prove "A pal

LIBERTY. Mo-. Nov. 2S.-Four cracks
men blew open "a big safe of the First
National bank Of this city yesterday
morning and secured $1,000. They used
dynamite. The burglars were scared
away before they got at the big vault,
which contained $4,000 more in gold.
They had dynamite and a fuse attached
to it, but had not touched it off. The
robbery was discovered yesterday after
noon when County Treasurer Riley, who
has an office in the building, noticed that
a terrible explosion had occurred and
that the building was caving in. From
the bank the cracksmen went to j. 5.

Kansas City are said to be in possession
of information which may lead to the

The "Tno Busy" Mother,

The "too busy" mother may be in pur-
quit of culture \ conspicuous example of
This sort was Il v nan noted far and wide
for her brilliant intellectual attainments;
Studies and writing filed her days. Her
only child was a beautiful boy who very
early in life learned the sad lesson that
mother was always too busy to participate
in his joys and sorrows. He was trained
by his nurse till big enough to run about
and tyrauniZe over her, when he took up
the society of his mothers stableman He
spent hours and months and years imbib-
fng the sentiments, the language, the
tastes of his instructor. When the busy
mother paused long enough in her studies
to reflect that her son ought to go to school
behold lie had been at school for year!
She sent him to be taught; he ran away
from his teachers. She hired tutors; he
bullied and drove them off. He boldly an
nounced his opposition to instructors of all
sorts and threatened to run away from
home. Not TO follow his career step by
step, it is enough to say that he utterly re-
fused education, became spendthrift and
IA vagabond of the lowest tastes, and at
last brought his mother in sorrow to her
grave.
The mother who is too busy" may be
overload Of society, and for the feeting
pleasures of social success may throw
away the deepest and purest happiness life
can possibly give her, leaving the delight
no less than the duties of motherhood to a
hired servant. Society in moderation is OF
great value to every mother, not only as a
needed change from home cares, to keep
her bright aud in touch with the active
world about her, but as school of man
ners for her children and proper place to
introduce them when grown.
To such a mother little elbows on her
knees are an interruption and little eyes
soon learn to look to others than mother
for help, advice and love. Oh, the pity OF

About the Feet of Women.

The Frenchwoman's foot is not natu-
rally smaller or prettier than the English
woman's foot, but her shoes are of the
softest kid and cut to perfection. They fit
daintily and comfortably and do all they
can not to be felt. heard or seen The
lighter and thinner the shoe the more
graceful Is the foot and walk. The heel
less satin shoe, in this respect, is the best
of all; it is as if no shoe at all were on the
foot.
Unfortunately modern requirements
make it necessary to wear heavy shoes
with thick soles In which the feet are tor.
tured almost as cruelty as in the Chinese
foot cage. No foot can have natural, elias
tic play in heavy, thick soled and thick
leather shoe. And as thick heavy soles
are the chief attributes of English shoes
SO the present generation of English women
are noted for their clumsy feet; whereas
in reality, their feet would be as small
dainty and elastic as Partisan and Anda.
lusian feet were they equally lightly shod
In Holland, Germany and other northern
countries the women are equally noted for
their big feet, not because their feet are
bigger than other feet, but because they
are shod badly. In Poland and in Russia,
where the women shoe daintily, their feet
are dainty.-New York Advertiser

one familiar ever near-the spirit of refine
ment. Her absence, her presence-how

do the habits, speech, manners, dress and
surrounding prove our possession or lack
of this sweet spirit Riches cannot show
the gentle guest, neither can poverty hide
her whereabouts. She dwells not with
luxury, although luxury would give her
rarest gems to entertain and make the
graces of this guest her own.
And luxury, conscious of her lack, strives
ever with splendid pageant, with brilliant
speech, with every outward exhibit to
hoodwink the world and make 1t believe
that under her gilded dome dwells sweet
refinement. Vain are her efforts The

Woman and Her Watch.

For the person who invents a safe sort Of
pocket for women's watches a large for
tune and the gratitude of thousands are
waiting.
Women are beginning to grow tired of
having their slender chains jerked in q
crowd and finding themselves watchless.
They don't enjoy even hunting va,nly
for the timepiece which was buttoned I'M q
the front of their bodice, but which has
slipped in and is finally discovered two
inches above their wristbands and far on
one side. The pretty toys are continually
being lost, as they slip down under bodices
and belts and drop onto the ground.
There are a few precautions which might
be taken. In the first place one of these
dainty watch pockets high on the left side
of tailor made bodice is the very worst
possible place in which to carry watch.
There is absolutely nothing to hinder q
man from jerking it out by the chain. II
is even less safe than the ordinary fashion
of thrusting it inside the waist end trust
ing to button or to hook.
Men who are popularity supposed tc
have much more strength wherewith t.
defend themselves against sudden attacks
of this sort do not give half the tempta-
ton. Their chains are firmly caught in
their buttonholes with a slender little bal
or swivel, which holds 1t safe against Jerk
ing, and their watches are in a distant
and secure pocket.-Cincinnati CONNER

Prom at Mealtime.

Mothers, instill the habit of promptness
in the children growing up about you.
Teach them that when meal is placed
upon the table that no excuse save sick
ness will be taken for their nonappearance
at the same time. This habit goes far to-
ward establishing those pleasant memories
that cluster about the meeting of the
family around the festal board when in
after years the members have been scat
tered to the four corners of the globe. The
meal enjoyed by all is far more satisfac-
tory than when laggards come straying in
at intervals and petitions for hot food are
sent out every few minutes to the long
suffering domestic in the kitchen.
Promptness is virtue wherever you find
it, but never more to be commended than
when it causes each and every member OF
the household to feel that they must be on
hand at meals instead of regarding the
dinner bell as the signal to go up stairs and
commence piece of work that will KEEP
them away from the table until the food is
cold, the dishes disarranged and the cook
fretty and upset.-Exchange

The Value of "a Black Gown.

The experience Of a professional beauty,
Mrs. Langtry, in regard to black gowns is
worth recording. The first season that the
Jersey Lily spent in London found her the
possessor of one evening gown, and that a
very simple black. Immediately after her
picture appeared she became the rage, and
duchesses themselves did not hesitate to
stand on chairs to get glimpse of her as
she passed. Everywhere she wore the
black gown. One night it was turned In
so that her beautiful throat showed; an
other night it was drawn up close to her
neck and bunch of white lilies against 1t
brought : its blackness and her fairness.
1t was meuded, it was pressed, but at re-
ception or ball all that season the beautiful
woman wore the black gown. Later on,
when evening dresses were very ordinary
things to her, she said most positively:
Never tell me that a woman can't dress
well who has a single frock. l know that
she cannot only look WELL but always be
distinguished; and know it through the
best teacher of all--experience." And SC
it is that the black evening gown is com
mended not only to the woman who has a
great deal of money, but to her who, though
she may be bent on pleasure, yet has a
frugal mind Philadelphia Times.

Nine-tenths of the nervous J. adaches

The iodide acts Immediately, and in half
an hour after the medicine has been taken
the unpleasant symptoms will have dis

Guarding Secrets of the Home.

Perhaps there is no surer revelation of
character than the manner in which a wife

that Manhattan had one of his headaches,
for he never drank" 1t is hard, however,
to pardon the woman who confides to every
one she meets the shortcomings of the man
whose honor is in her keeping. Reticence
requires more culture and brain power
than criticism.

tongued Mrs. Poyser, that God made the
women silly to match the men," and with
