A SILVER COMPROMISE.

settlement of the silver question must
eventually be reached by way of a com.
promise. With Congress and the public
so nearly evenly divided neither party can
at present carry out its extreme views.
Senator Stewart proposes a compromise
in the form of an American silver union
in which dollar containing somewhere
between 35991 and 3S3l l3 grains nt pure
silver shall be legal money for all COM
mercial transactions among the States
which become partners TO the agreement
The silver dollar that may be agreed upon
shall have an international circu aiion so
far as these nations are concerned. The
United States might continue to do busi-
ness with Europe on the gold basis. When
we should sell -four to one of the countries
forming the silver union we should charge
the South American purchaser an excess
over the European purchaser equal to the
Inference between the commercial val
of gold and silver. AT the present time
The volume of trade between the United
States aud the nations which are expected
to join the silver union is against the
UnIted S.ates. But Europe sells to all
these countries more than they sell to
Europe. The South American States take
the balance the United States owes them
and pay European debts with it. The
question arises if a monetary union be-
tween the United States and these South
American countries might not have a
stimulating effect upon our export trade.
From a strictly financial point of view the
silver union would not cut much of a
figure in the whole transaction. But it
would keep in use several hundred nil
lions of silver dollars while the United
States and Europe are making up their
minds what to do about silver.

HighwaYmen In Mexico.

Ortiz, the notorious Mexican bandit,
down in New Mexico in 187S," said
Dick Little to Globe-Democrat re-
porter. "Ortiz and his blood-thirsty
lieutenant, Manuel Grijalva, were the
terrors of Arizona at that time, and
robbing stages and numbering passen-

were escorting $4,000 worth of
bullion to the railway. We had pro-
ceedcd about ten miles when Ortiz and
his gang swooped down upon us. 1t
was seldom indeed that they let SO rich
a prize slip through the mountains
without making a try for it. The
driver was expecting trouble and did
not wait for second command, but
refined up at once, and sat on his box
as unconcerned as though waiting for
a passenger.

to me and said: Were going to

dropped three of the robbers. They
drew back little. but kept on shoot

In ten minutes one of the guards was
dead, another disabled, and every one
of us had been touched. We had five
dead robbers to our credit and felt en-
couraged to keep up the fight. Five
minutes later the captain of the guard
was killed and Ortiz got slug of
metal IN his shoulder that disabled
him. His gang then drew off. The
driver had sat unconcerned through it

LEATHER GARMENTS.

came across at Edinburg, says n
London Queen writer, some mos,
charming and useful of novelties.
They took the form of leather jackets
for ladies' wear while shooting and
for country wear.
They are called Danish coats, and
appear to be made of glove kid, being
very bright, resembling satin. They
are to be had in brown, black. green,
blue and gray, and have skirts to
match. They are light, perfectly i'm
pervious to weather, and the coats
display some pretty stitching.
The leather jackets are found TO be
exceedingly useful for riding, in
place of covert jackets, as they will
stand any amount of wet. They are
made with short basques and are
quilted inside.

New Way to Fertilize.

In Florida, where the soil is mostly
sand, the leisurely but thrifty far
mer has his ground lightly stirred in
his groves about every two weeks,
with great benefit to the crops, even
when no commercial fertilizer is used.
It is claimed that this surface cultiva-
ton checks evaporation, keeps down
weeds and puts the soil in a condition
to absorb air and water readily. This
accords with the well-known sayins:
"Tillage is manure" Until the list
is increased of plants that may profit
ably be sown for shading aud green
manuring the soil, can anything better
be proposed than frequent cultivation

SHE PAPEREp HER FLOORS.

A woman to whom the ordinary
dust collecting, moth breeding carpet
was an abomination, and who could
not afford to have all her rooms re-
floored in hard woods, adopted this ex-
pedient for some of the seldom used
ones: She selected at paperhanger's
heavy wall paper, dark in color and
conventional in design. She laid the
floor first with brown paper. Then
she put down the wall paper by first
coating it with paste and smoothing it
down. When the floor was all papered
she sized and vanished it with dark
glue and common varnish, which
deepened the color. When it was dry
she scattered a few rugs about and her
paper carpets have lasted for years. -

GREEN IS EVERYWHERE.

1t lie remarkable to note the spread
of the fashion for introducing green
into everything. There is no posi-.
bility of doubt that it is to be the
color of the season. The milliners
are all talking of green wreaths, Of
grasses, ferns, Ivy leaves and mosses
as spring trimmings. Two pretty
bonnets in the recent display were as
green as green could be. One had
sparkling crown of green iridescent
jet, and merely suggestion of brim
formed of myrtle green velvet; dom
key-ear bows of the same velvet stood
up directly in front, clasped together
at their base by large rhinestone
buckle; a curious fringe of green
iridescent jets passed under the chin,
there much wider than at the back,
where it was fastened to the bonnet
under small rhinestone pins.
The other bonnet was of olive
straw, braided with gilt tinsel. Di-
rectly in front was a chonx of green
velvet ribbon, completely encircled by
grasses radiating from the chonx as a
centre, and as directly in the back, at
the point Of the notch made for the
hair, was cluster of green tips from
which green velvet ribbons passed un-
der the chin.
Shop windows of all kinds are filled
with articles in green. The decora-
tors windows hang full of green wall
papers and tapestries; the bric-a-brac
shops make display of green and
gold glass vases and jugs; china
houses display full sets of green and
gold dinner service, and the salesmen
tell you that the day of serving each
course on ware of different manufac-
ture and design is quite done. All
the new summer silks for gowns or
petticoats are striped with green; all
the novelties in furniture covering are
in green and gold tinsel. The wo-
man. who all these years has kept
from moth and rust her green broca-
telle curtains and the big heavy gilt
cornice would better get them out at
once. All the debutantcs have varied
the monotony of their white frocks by
trimmings Of green satin ribbins. All
the fashionable lunches and dinners
are green and gold dinners, green and
white lunches, or all green, as the
hostess fancies. -[Chicago Herald.

At Parting.


II thou dost bid thy friend farewell,
But for one night though that farewell
may be,
Press thou his palm with thine. How canst
thou tell
How far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead his feet
Ere the tomorrow come? Men have been
known
TO lightly turn the cover Of the street,
And days have grown
To months, and months to tagging years
Before they looked in loving eyes again;
Parting at best is underlaid with tears,
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come
between,
Or time, or distance, clasp with pressure
true
The hand Of him that goeth forth, unseen,
Fate goeth, too!
Yea, find then always time to say
Some earnest word between the idle talk,
Lest with thee, henceforth, night and day,
Regret should walk.
