THE DALLEs
HAS GONE TO HAWAII.
Mr.. BlOunt, Chairman of the Commis-
sion, to Visit the Islands.

Mr.. BIOunt, Chairman of the Commis-
sion, to Visit the Islands
James II. Blount, whom President
Cleveland has named to be chairman of
the Hawaiian commission, was, until
March 4, the democratic father of the
house of representatives. Upon that
date he retired after twenty years serv-
ice as a member. He was at the time
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs, where he gained knowledge of
the international relations of the United
States that especially fits him for the
position to which he has been chosen.
Mr.. Blount is a native of Macon, Ca,
where he was born September IL, 1887.
he made his first appearance in public
life in 1872, when he was elected to con-
gress from the Sixth district of Georgia.
Since that time he has been continuous
1y reelected. AT the time of his last
election he had hard fight against the
farmers alliance, but came out success
fully, although six of his colleagues
went down before the new element.
Mr.. Blount retired from the house be-
cause he declined to take renomina-
ton last fall. At that time he intended
to return to the practice of law in Ma
con, Ga. When the cabinet was in
process of formation his name was
more than once spoken of as possible
postmaster general.
February Mr.. Blount, in view of his
approaching retirement, received an un-
precedented tribute from the members.
The proceedings of the house were in
terrupted to allow Judge Holman to
eulogize his services. The judge was
followed by Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, Mr..
Hit, Mr.. O'Neill, Mr.. Springer and Mr..
McCreary, all of whom spoke of his
work in high terms

The Varied Value of Silver.

Silver, in its relative commercial value
to gold, has varied greatly ut different
times since the two metals were first
used for coins. In the days of Abraham
the patriarch it was TO 1; b. G. 1000, it
was 12 to l; 3. c. 500, - to l, and at the
beginning of the Christian era, about 0
to l. In the year 500 a. d. it was 10 to
/, III 100 it was to /, and at the time
Of the discovery of America only Z to |.
In the year 1860 gold was only six
times more valuable than the precious
white metal, and within the next 100
years two pounds of silver could be ex-
changed evenly for one of gold. In 1916
gold was again on the boom, being 10
times more valuable than its paler broth
cr and i'll 1875 it was Is times more val
liable than silver, just as it was 500 years
Is. {. At the beginning of the present
century silver was at II lower figure than
1t had been at any time since the year
800 a. D.-viz, 1898 to /. In 1876 the
ratio (commcrciaD of silver to gold was
20 to /, and in 1892 it was mt the lowest
point it has ever reached since the dis
covery of Amcrica-24.24 to /. The fig

"'He'll steal yonr shoes is an express
sion which in China is used to describe
an arrant knave and pilferer," SAYS ex-
Consul Edward Bedoe. 1.-THE express
sion is hundreds of years old and is based
on an adventure perpetllatcd through
the medium of decorated crockery ware.
A wealthy Chinaman. whose gorgeouslv
embroidered shoes We're the envy of the
community, was, according to the leg
end, despoiled of his pride in the fol-
lowing manner: a rascal one day rushed
up, gave the rich man hearty blow on
the back, and Selling the astonished gen
tleman's hat pitched it upon high wall.
The next moment the fellow seemed to
discover that it was not an old friend he
was greeting so enthusiastically and
apologized profusely.
"'How shall get my hat?' inquired
the man with the beautiful shoes.
Jump on my back and you can reach
it, replied the schemer.
"The suggestion was carried out, but
while the hatless man was reaching for
his head covering the rascal slipped off
the handsome shoes and made away,
leaving the simple minded millionaire
clutching the wall"

Squire osbaldestone's Ride.

Squire Osbaldestones undertaking to
ride 600 miles III 10 hours. which he ac-
complished SO successfully ON Nov. 8,
1881, is one of the most remarkable feats
of endurance in the saddle and has the
merit of freedom from cruelty. The
squire rode his race on the Newmarket
race course, changing his horse every
fourth mile.
