must MAKE concessions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2.-Secretary
Carlisle said in an interview: 1.-The repeal
Of the Mckinley act and the substitution of
a more Just and equitable measure in its
place are OF vital importance to the prosper
ity Of the country, and the people have a
right to expect that all who are really in
favor of reduction of tariff taxation will
make such reasonable concessions to each
others views as will certainly accomplish
these results. If the country is to wait for
tariff reform until a measure is devised
which is entirely acceptable in all its parts
to every senator and representative whose
vote is necessary to pass it our promises will
never be kept

The Bt-MetalIic League.

LONDON, May 4.-The International bl-
metallic conference under the auspices OF
the Bi-Metallic league, was called to order
in the Egyptian hall of the Mansion house,
the lord mayor, Lord Evans. presiding.
The proceedings opened with an address
by the lord mayor, after which Prof. Shield
Nicholson read a paper on 1.-The fall in the
general level of prices in relation to the ap-
probation of gold and the divergence IN re-
lative value of gold and silver"
During the afternoon the Right Hon. A. J.
Balfour, the conservative leader in the house
of commons, made an address, which was
followed by paper by Leonard Courtenay,
NJ. p. on 1.-The praoticability of maintain
ing a ratio between gold and silver under an
international bl-metallic agreement.
This was followed by discussion.
The governor of the Bank of France. Nj.
Magnin, also sent a letter applauding the
aims of the conference, and saying: The
silver question imposes itself more every
day upon fnanciers The whole world re-
quires its solution in its general interest. 1t
is intimately bound up in the commercial
and industrial prosperity of all nations.

declared that bi-metallism was making
progress in Germany, and he thought If an
international conference was had, it would
have very different results from the Brussels
conference.
The feature of the conference was the
speech of Mr.. Balfour. He said that many
who were suspicious of the double standard
and bi-metallic system now recognize, IN
view of the great impending dangers, that
the best safeguard is to reha bilitate silver as
one of the great instruments of the none
tary transactions of the world.
1t was absolutely necessary that the mon
etary functions of silver should be restored
if business was to be carried upon gold
basis. The differences of an international
agreement, he insisted, were merely as to
the details and if any question should be
settled by an international agreement, surely
this one should be.

The Pose of q MOOSc'S Head.

/ wish to call attention to what l have
concluded from personal observation is a
monumental blundcr on the part of illus.
traitors and especially of taXidermists in
the position given to the head Of the
moose. Last year and this year l saw
seven moose standing quietly in the open,
and l took especial pains to note the posi-,
ton of the head. Instead of thrusting it
forward, as is invariably shown, neither
of these moose held its head in any such
position. Five of the seven were bulls,
one of them a patriarch. All of their
heads were crect-nDt SO erect as a deer's,
but far from the horizontal position usual
~ shown. After the moose gets in mo
ton he does thrust his head forward in
the manner and attitude shown, but he
does not do SO when standing. The same
may be said of the caribou. 1t is mani
testify absurd to mount the head Of any
animal in any other position than that Of
rest, and taXidcrmists would do well u
tax" due notice Of the fact and govern
Themselves accordingly. - Forest and

ADVANTAGES OF Cross EYED MAN.
He Could See P"th Features at Once, and
the Show man Objected.

nv At"s
Il once had an idea :" aid the Snowman.
1t was brand new and Il cOrkCr. | went
to sec a three ring circus one day, and
| while l was there it struck ne if | would
put a variety show on the road with two
separate and distinct turns going on the
same time the people would be ticklcd
with it, and l would make money. fig
urcd it that there are many times when a
man goes to Il variety show and yawns
through a turn because he has seen it be-
fore or something of the kind. Now, if
there were tWO turns going on, the man
could look at the other one, you know,
and Would come away saying it was "a
| great show. 1t would be only occasionally
we would strike a man who would be
bored by the two turns at the same time.
1.-The plan seemed a tiptOppcr, n /
got a partner who had money, and we
started to put It into execution. We hired
ii lot of people and put on Il show that
was a pretty good one. We had Is turns,
and we ran them two at "a time. For in
stance, if there was n scriO-cOmic on the
stage we would have a trapcZe act from
the dome Of the thcatCr, and things went
along as if they were creased.
THE partner | had was a man who had
never been in the show business before,
and he didn't know a great deal about it
as a matter Of course. Seeing that he had
put up tho money, l let him nave a few
words to say about the front Of the house.
On the first night out VIC ..ad a row, and
the show busted then and there. Since
then l have never found any one who
would go into the scheme"
What was the row about" asked the
reporter.
'Oh, my partner was in the box office,
