The American system of education,
especially in the juvenile depart
ments. is undoubtedly superior to
that prevalent in England. a British
commission is about to visit the
United States to note tho methods
of education which prevail in our
public schools. There ought to be
more such investigation among our-
selves. Those who have examined
schools in different American cities
find that some are much better than
others, and that, too, in points where
equal excellence is possible to all.
The school journals ought to be read
by teachers more than they are.

NEBRASKA FOR SILVER.
Large Meeting at Omaha Addressed by
senator Allen and ConEress-
man Bryan.

Thlrty-fve hundred people sat in the Expo
sition hall at Omaha Thursday night, and
listened to Senator w. V. Allen and Con
gresham W. J. Bryan, who spoke on silver
under the auspices Of the Bi-metallic League.
Senator Allen said he had been elected as
Popullst and was In favor of free and I'M
limited coinage OF silver. The country is
now confronted by a strange condition OF fl
nancial and business depression not witnessed
before for sevcnty-fvc years. Six or eight
banks are reported In the list of each days
failure. and nothing more is heard of the tar
III. The situation was charged by somc 10
the Sherman law, but as matter OF fact 1t is
no, there that the blame lies, and the repeal
OF the purchasing clause will do nothing to-
ward lettering the situation.
III my information Is correct" no said,
certain parties in Europe and America, and
do not hesitate to say that ! believe they
were actuated by Interior motives, have been
endeavoring 10 secure the repeal OF the shcr-
man law and have been bringing influence to
bear on congressman and senators toward
that end.
They say gold is leaving the country and
the Sherman law Is the cause Of It, The bal
ancc OF trade has been in favor OF this coun-
try for ten years, with one exception, 80 tho
gold has not been going in trade, but the
money power has forced Austria, Hungary,
Argentine and other countries to agold basis
and they issue governmental bonds with gold
bearing interest coupons and they must have
gold TO pay this interest. That is the cause
of It.
"Thc total gold product, exclusive Of that
needed in the arts and making good the loss
by abrasion, will y!led coinage of but 1871
cents per capita. II people believe We need
more money, where is 1t to come FRONT There
are two remedies. We must go deeper into
debt and issue gold bearing debts, or what is
Infinitely worse, expand our bank credits and
go before the markets of Europe as competi-
tors with second class governments for the
supply Of gold.
I'VE propose to resort to the silver mines

territories are closed, and so are Colorado

low citizens are traversing the prairies from
house to house seeking bread and the cry OF
Gods poor is heard In this land Of plenty.
The Bimctallic League proposes to pierce the
mountain side and let out the silver stream tc
swell this volume OF plenty.
Some of tn EN- favor the free coinage Of
the American product, but 1t won't do, fol
it Will give per capita OF but 96.7 cents, oil

THE AURORA SCARE.

There is a sweet caprice at present
gciug the rounds-a picturesque little
fancy for neck decoration, which, though
simple in the extreme, is yet just dainty
and dressy enough to tighten the most
prossic street costume on exhibit. No
cirl could fail to look her best with
lengths of vaporous tulle wound sgain
and again about her throat, finally
fiuttering in long, uncoufned ends al
most to the hem OF the gown; or with a
great airy, wing like bow of tissue break
ing the harsh lines below the chin with
its fragile prettiness. The gauzy,
"aurora" scarves, as they are termed,
appear in a perfect rainbow variety of
tinting, embracing the most aesthetic rs
we'll as the most commonplace coloring.
Misty mauves, iar-away blues, subtle
greens and clouded viOlets, simmer and
shift in and out of the delicate tissues.
For evening wear these butterfly neck
draperies are given iunumerabe fancy
touches in the form of bright showers of
gold and silver dust, rich embroideries
and even gems, tiny specimens of which
are sprinkied over the transparent
surface. Orleans Picayune.

HAIR WAVED AT THE HAIR DREssER's.
The hair is waved in large undulations
all the way round the head from the
crown outward. There are special irons
for this purpose, though the bang curler
can be used. To aid In waving there is
a new, long comb, with teeth along half
its length and the remainder rounded
and pointed stick. The stick is used to
run under and lift up the outside hair for
the waving iron. Begin at the back;
curl four rows from back to front, the
first three being rolled backward and the
front forward; curl the sides in three or
four rings each, all those about the face
beng rolled forward.-Chicago News

says: There is a strong temptation
to use a quilted cotton comfortable,

pair OF blankets costing five times az
much. yet the blankets are far clean.
or. sweeter, warmer QOr the same
weight, and better from a health
standpoint in every way. 1t is need
less to add that the good housewife
will see to it that bedding and clothes
have a daily airing sufficient to abol
ish entirely the stale, unpleasant
odor which hangs around a bed and
indicates the presence Of an indefinite
amount of ancient effiuyia. Clean
sheets and sunshine work wonders
with beds. If you are compelled e
use a modern folding bed, be sure il
has ample spaces for ventilation anc
that it is never put up in the morn
ing until sun and air have WORKED
their miracle of cleansing.

As respects modern locks this country
bears off the palm, whether as regards
Eecurity, convenience, facility of manipu-
lation or workmanship. Like other arti
cles for common use confined within the
domain Of ordinary mechanics, our locks
arc the best in the world. The lock of
the present day IN European countries IS
clumsy piece of mechanism, aud the
key a cumberomc piece Of iron that is
inconvcnient to carry in the pocket and
dangerous to the clothing. The task OF
the Europe burglar is easy, a twisted
piece Of iron being an "Open- sesame" for
oil tho rooms Of a private dwelling or
hotel. On the continent it is even more
essential than with US that the locksmith
should be a man Of greater probitY than
the workmen CT other trades. Fortu-
nately, il France the honesty Of the craft
has become a tradition. Comparatively
few of the burglaries that are of nightly
occurrence in and and about Paris are
committed by locksmiths. From time
lmmemorial the French locksmiths have
.aken the dog as an emblem Of the
idelity to its interests that the public
expects of them. 1t habitually appeared
upon their signs, which were varied
sometimes by the figure Of lion guard
ing a safe, the key of which was held
By hare. OF the relative honesty of
ocksmiths in other countries where the
ock has been less speciality of manu-
factures as an adjunct OF art we know
little on account of the lack Of statistics,
but we may say in a general way OF this
country that 1t would be very untortu-
cate for society if our locksmiths should
take as kindly TO burglary as some OF
our engravers have TO counterieitiug.-
