When our silver demonetizing act was
passed, in 1873, all the senators from the

them the trade dollar. which they wanted
for their commerce with China and Japan,

Their mines had not then begun TO make
large yields of silver and they cared moth

that silks are not warm enough for win

That's rather a strong statement to make
about silks, but when you have seen those
silks you would rather die than be with

like the rest OF the goods. The cord is OF
one color and the satin sheen beneath an
entirely different shade. There is old
rose with green cord, solferino and brown,

OUR HANDWRITING.
Revolution in Fashionable Chiro-
crnphy.


The change in handwriting in the last
few years has been most remarkable.
There are those who read ones character
in ones chirogrophy and who claim that
great things may be learned by the study
of handwriting; but, whether or not this
is so, every one must notice that In the
last few years there has been complete
revolution In fashionable chirography.
Young girls Of to-day write I'm large and
usually firm characters, while surpris-
ing number Of young men, not trained
10 clerkliness, and struggling between
several recognized standards OF a good
masculine handwriting, produce letters OF
a singularly childish style Of penmanship,
and generally very small. The Boston
Transcript says that literary men. by
which ii means all those who dabble In
literature or journalism, regularly write
with a very small hand, and 1t adds that
In other occupations this adaptation OF IN
dividuality 10 what may be called class
proclivities in handwriting is often equal
~ striking. Now that the typewritlng
machine has clicked itself so throughly
into the domain OF letters, perhaps styles
Of chirogaphy will decline more and more
in Importance; and. just as we have learn
ed to read character in Handwriting
the soulless print Of the machine Will
shield the innermost thoughts of our cor
respondents with as much safety as ever
befoe IL is evident that the machine has
more than one advantage.-Rocheste Post
