between the metals SO much desired by both
parties can easily be maintained without the
doubtful experiment OF a ratio to be fixed
arbitrarily, even though upon the recon-
mendation OF monetary conference.
No Disturbance in Monetary Quarters.
THE change proposed can be promptly and
easily brought about with no disturbance in
monetary quarters. The treasury reports show
that every three years the redemption of old
notes for new equals the total issues outstant-
ing. As the old notes come in for that purpose
the new issue can be retur led therefor and the
treasury substitute the new notes for old
ones coming into its possession. If holders
desire the redemption Of old notes. a. provided
by existing laws, such redemption should be
made and the issue of the new notes from time
to time in paymeI. of necessary coin reserve,
so that no contraction of the circulation should
result from the operation. Should the business
OF the country at any time need additional cir
culatiou it can be easily and promptly issued
upon like conditions. thus keeping a uniform
currency and one at all times worth par in gold
or its equivalent in silver This plan would
lead the country with safety out Of the financial
quagmire in which it is now aimlessly founder
ing"

DIFFERENT IDEAS OF BEAUTY.
Methods in Vogue in Oriental Countries to
Beautify Women.


From the Kansas City Times.
The ladies in Japan gild their teeth and those
of the Indies paint them red The pearl Of
teeth must be dyed black to be beautifu l in
Guzurat. In Greenland the ladies color their
faces with blue and yellow. However fresh the
complexion Of a Muscovite may be she would
think herself very ugly il she were not plas-
tered over with paint The Chinese must have
their feet as diminutive as those Of the she
goats. and to render them thus their youth is
passed in tortures In ancient Persia an aqui-
line nose was often thought worthy Of the
crown and if there was any competition be-
tween the princes the people generally went by
this criterion Of majesty. In come countries
the mothers break the noses OF their children
and others press the head between two boards
that it nav become square. The modern Per-
slams have a strong aversion 10 red hair: the
Turks, on the contrary, are warm admirers OF
it. In China small. round eyes are liked, and
the girls are continually plucking their eye
brows that they may be thin and long,
The Turkish women dip gold brush in the
tincture Of black drug, which they pass over
their eyebrows. 1t is too visible by day, but
looks shining by night They nnge their nails
with rose color. An African beauty must
have small eyes. thick lips, n large. fat nose
and skin beautifully black. The Emperor Of
Monomotapa wouid not change his smiable ne
groes for the most brilliant European beauty.
An ornament for the nose IL necessary for the
Peruvians. They hang on it weighty ring,
the thickness Of which is proportional by the
rank of their husbands. The custom Of boring
it, as our ladies do their cara. is very common
in several nations. Through the perforations
are hung various materials stones, a
single and sometimes a great number Of gold
rings.
The inhabitants OF the land of Natal wear

composed of the fat OF oxen. They then grail
ualiy anoint the head with purer grease
which. mixing with the hair, fastens these bon
nets for their lives.

LADY BARRIERS.
They Fail Because They Cannot Keep Their
Razors SHARP.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
The lady barber. said Louis Edmonds,
who is at the Lindeli, ''cannot be called a sue
cess. In almost every city ladies have opened
barber shops with a great flourish of trumpets
and have been patronized very literally by the
youths Of the city. who regarded the idea rs
distinctively novel. But the cases where the
project has proved anything like a permanent
success are very rare. have beea shaved
twice by lady barber and wond not go through
the ordeal third time even if paid literally for
so doing. 1t is not because lady cannot shave
so much as because she canno. keep razor in
good condition.
1T looks very easy to strop a razor. but
every man who has tried to shave himself
recollects how he has absolutely failed to pro-
duce the desired effect in spite Of the most Wig
orous applications Of energy and what he re-
CARDS as skill. A lady is at still greater disad-
vantage and can seldom sharpen even a PEN
knife. let alone a hollow-ground razor. The
only possible chance the average lady barber
has is to keep a man busy sharpening her
razors and BY so doing she has to paw away the
bulk OF her profits in the way OF superfuous
wages. In addition TO tins, most men who are
expert shoppers are also expert BARRIERS and
prefer to complete the operation themselves. A"

POLICY OF THE SILVER MEN

As Outlined by Representative Bland in an
Interview Yesterday.
"we will repeal the Sherman law with free
coinage bill" is the way Representative Richard
p. Bland stated in ST. Louis yesterday the pro-
gram of the silver advocates. whatever
panic we have" he added, sis due, in great
measure, to the threat OF Wall street financiers
that they would bring on panic or
monetary stringency in order to
accomplish the demonstration OF silver.
believe the present panicky condition is the
result of a conspiracy, and that the condition Is
attributed to the Sherman act to briu about
its repeal They accomplished the repeal Of the
Bland act by the Sherman act. but they do not
propose to put us back to the Bland act. but to
leave us without any law on silver except the
act of 1873. which totally demonetizes it.
"Our policy will be to substitute. We
opposed to the Serman law because it is a bad
silver law, and We want to substitute a good
one for it. That's the only issue There is
some danger in the House of the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman act, but not in the Sem

SHE OF THE POWDER PUFF
Raises Reflections in the Mind of the Young
Druggist.


From the New York SUI
A handsome yonng Broadway druggist was in
! a laxative mood the other day.
women are queer creatures" he said with a
renective smile under his mustache.
He pointed to a large assortment of toilet ar
ticles temptingly arrayed There were pow
der boxes and rouge pots and the fullest of
puffs. There were rainbow rows of perfumes
and toilet waters There were salves Of all
sorts and hair tonics galore. In short every
thing that the care of the feminine face and
form could crave.
The handsome young druggist lifted a box
OF powder. Its shape was clearly defined
in the undisturbed dust which had drifted upon
il.
They don't buy 'em," he said.
"Not at alp
"Oh, sometimes! But. you see had an idea
that woman simply bathed in perfume, put hair
tonic in the shower BATH and was PRACTICAL Y
clad in cold cream and powder. As soon
saw a woman coming in the door headed for
the cosmetics. in order to meet her on the spot
felt sure she would select"
"Well?''
Twas the wrong move. By the time
fetched , up behind the powders and perfumes
tne woman was leaning over the counter down
there, and either another clerk made the sale or
else had to meekly chasse back"
And what is that counter"
Its the medicine counter, and about ninety
nine out OF one hundred women who come
there want nerve tonic. Sick or well, thin or
stout, Old or Young, their one CRY is-nerves,
fernaps. being man and therefore an animal,
said by women to be totally lacking in nerves,
! may be trihe skepticsl, but upon my word
don I think half of them need a nerve tonic any
more than they need-two tongues,
III you want to make your everlasting for
tune, why, invent a new nerve tonic. They all
60 with rush. We have one patron, a good,
strong woman. whose only nerve trouble is that
she thinks she has nerve trouble. She has tried
every remedy we have in stock. Her system
ought by this time to be perfectly callous to
any new compound. but have Just sold her a
bottle OF the present fashionable nerve soother
She has pillow OF dried poppy flowers, an
other Of hops, another Of balsam, and SO on
and on.
"Today, for the first time, sold her box OF
powder. She says it will last her three years.
She doesn't believe in choking up the pores OF
| the skin with all sorts Of rubbish"
''Quite right
Yes. but she'll choke her entire internal ar.
rangement with any sort OF iecoction which
bears the magical inscription, Nerve Tonic.
Women are certainly queer creatures.
And the Young clerk sighed he put the de-
spised powder box back on the shelf.
