muscles OF the face are lifted, and, while
you do not exactly smile, you have a
bright look about the cheeks and cor

you are after the surprised with a

you adapt this feeling of lightness, of

An Empire dress, very handsome and
composed of expensive materials, is the
one shown in the initial illustration.
The fabric used is silver gray Sicilienne,
and it is very tastefully trimmed with
embroidered satin. This gown closes in

are cut a trifie curved, but the stuff is
quite full both in front and back. All
the seams are garnished with strings of
wax beads. Covering the seam where
the skirt joins the bodice is tiny girdle

neck is finiehed with white satin collar
having arabesque insertions of lace and
embroidery with white wax beads and
nilver threads. Around the bottom Of
the skirt is pleated edging, and above
that band of embroidered satin. The
puffed sleeves have q white Hatin cuff

bow shown is of mousseline de eoie In

the hem of the skirt.
The model of the next picture can be
successfully followed in large variety
of materials and trimmings, and it will
prove very pretty. Though an Empire

style and is at once very comfortable and
dresey for house wear. A pretty mater

begun to appear on the treasury bench:
Lord George Germaine, the secretary of
state. who was especially charged with
the direction OF the war in America, had
held language not easily to be reconciled
with declarations made by the first lord
of the treasury. Pitt noticed the dis
crepancy with much force and keenness.
Lord George and Lord North began to
whisper together, and Welbore Ellis, an
ancient placeman who had been draw
ing salary almost every quarter since the
days OF Henry Pelham, bent down be-

WE have received from the author,
Mr.. L. B. Howell, Of Butte, a chart
showing the production Of gold and sill
YER as compared severally with cereal
crops, foreign commerce and the cotton
crop. This chart is a whole financial
education ia itself. 1t shows at aglance
how the prices Of cotton and cereals
have fallen with tho rise of gold and
risen with tho rise Of silver. 1t is an
unanswerable argument for bimetallism,
tie free coinage OF gold and silver at n
fair ratio. Mr.. Howell's figures arc
compiled from reports issued by the
bureau of statistics under the direction
Of the secretary of the treasury and
their accuracy cannot be impeached.
The chart was drawn and printed by
Messrs. Baker and Harper, civil engi-
neers of Butte, and a copy of it should
be in the hands of every student OF
finance.

A CORRESPONDENT OF tho New York
Times gives III instance OF the way
Raum managed the pension bureau. He
points out the fact that in January,
1898, Gen. Bussey republican, issued
an order, quite similar to the ono issued
10y Secretary Smith in tho Bennett case,
that pensions should be awarded only to
those claimants who established a per-
manent disability that incapacitated
them from tho performance OF the man
ual labor necessary for their support.
Had tho order of January, 1893, been
issued in October, 1890, Gen. Raum
would have issued pensions to 10000
instead of to $4,000 invalid claimants
under the now law, Il difference of 200,-
900 pensioners, who are nov receiving
IN average pension. OF $40 per month, or
$40 per year, aggregating an annual
draft upon the treasury of S2i,OoO,OOo.
Their first payments, being the respect
i've sums due from the dates of filing
applications TO dates of certificates
issued, Gen. Raum reports as averaging
s11S.9o, or S23 1so,0C0. These 100000
improperly admitted pensioners have
each drawn SO per month pension for
an average of eighteen months, agg-e-
eating 10 June 80, 1893, the large sum
of s36,00o,O00
The unfortunate error Of misconstru-
ing tho law had to the close of the fiscal
year resulted in an irrecovernble loss OF
s59,7S0,000, and every quarter s6,00O,o0o
is paid out to men having no legal RICH,
to receive it.

FORMS OF

One Of the New York papers publishes
a page OF fac SMILES Of different kinds
of scrip, due bills and checks issued in
lieu of currency by eastern firms and
individuals. Some of these attempts to
meet the currency famine are both in
g~enious and popular. In MINNEAPOLIS
the business men are discussing a pro-
posed combination to issue a circulating
medium of it's own. Tho plan is to form
a credit association, which shall furnish
to it's members certificates Of credit. un-
incumbered real estate, or commodities
not Immediately perishable. The asso-
citation provides itself with certificates
of credit of all denominations with
which to discount the notes of it's mem
bers. Every member at the time his
note is discounted is bound in due legal
form to receive in payment of debts, at
their face value, and in exchange for
commodities, without discrimination
ard from all persons, the certificates
issued by the association up to the
amount he has borrowed, thus really
pledglng himself to redeem his own
notes.
1t is the theory that similar associa-
tions will be formed in all large cities il
it is found that members can thus Dor
row money at say not more than two per
cent interest. In order that the cur
rancy thus issued would pass current in
all cities, a general clearing house could
be established and all of tho associations
connected in this way.

the scheme, thus illustrates it's work.

He may owe another member a certain

success of such an association outside
OF its own membership would depcnd on
the confidence which the people had in
such n currency, and in reply to this
point Mr.. Westrup said: "lNhy should

MIR. Murray is the only colored gentle
man who holds membership in the Fifty
third congress-. He is all right on the
silver question. Thursday he made a
stirring speech on the subject, declaring
that his race believed there was not
enough money as now constituted in
the world to act as currency. His race
combined patriotism with self interest,
and was in favor OF making up the de-
ficiency in circulation with silver.

THls WEATHER..
GIVE THEM WORK.

"Not charity, but work" is the manly
motto of tho unemployed working men
in ST. Paul, Chicago, New York and
other cities. The spirit that prompts
this demand is admirable, but we OBJ
serve that at most of these meetings OF
wage earners the opinion is expressed
that municipalities should furnish work
to the unemployed within their limits.
Officials charged with the conduct OF
municipal government are painfully
aware, however, that the financial
troubles zeal as heavily on cities as on
individuals. There arc very few cities
whose treasures are not empty at the
present time. municipalities that had
planned public improvements prior to
the monetary stringency find themselves
utterly unable to negotiate loans. Mu-
niclpal bonds Of any sort are not nego-
table. City warrants have ceased to be
quoted. 1t is difficult to raise a dollar
on them. If the city Of Helena, for in
stance, were to undertake municipal
improvements for the purpose of giving
employment to labor it could not get
the money to pay the laborer his hire.
Relief from this source, therefore, can
hardly be hoped for by the men out of
work. Private enterprise even in these
pinching times could do much to allie
viate the situation, with a little fore
thought and study. We are not sure
but those citizens who are holding nu-
merous meetings to advocate the reduc-
tion of the wages Of a dozen policemen
and three or four other officers of the
city government would render a greater
public service by directing their atten-
ton to the beginning Of new enterprises.
We have heard of n gentleman who
proposes to employ two or three hun
dred men in placer diggings whore it
has been demonstrated they can wash
out two or three dollars a day per man.
The promoter of the enterprise expects
no profit for himself. There are mining
claims all around Helena, not big prop
critics but which will pay the cost of
economical working. And, as we have
said before, many Of our well-to-do citi-
zens could make improvements about
their homes that would keep some OF
u laborers employed temporarily, at
least. Other cities are already estab-
fishing lodging houses, soup houses and
coffee houses for the needy. Fortu-
nately Montana has not come to that
yet. Let US see if we cannot avoid this
step by giving work instead of food.
