The Silver Standard In Mexico.

A balance between the advantages
and disadvantages of silver standard,
such as is struck by Mr.. Romero, the
Mexican minister, in The North Ameri-
can Review, cannot fail to be interest
ing reading. Mexico has no paper
money and never has had. She has lit.
tie gold money. The disadvantage of
the silver standard is that Mexican cur
rency is deprecated when it is used
abroad either to pay the interest on the
country's debt Or to pay for foreign mer,
chandise. "Our gold obligations and
the price of foreign commodities are
nearly duplicated" That would hap.
pen to us if the United States were tc
adopt the silver standard. On the other
hand, Mr.. Romero says, ''The advan.
tages we derive from the use Of silver
money are so great that 1 think they
fully compensate if they do not over
come it's disadvantages. i"
Under tho steady silver regime Mr..
Romero tell us Mexico has fewer bust
ness failures than other countries anc
internal commerce has greatly develop
ed. Only one Mexican railroad has gone
into the hands of receiver. Mexico il
not afflicted with what distresses al
the other countries at present-the low
price of agricultural products. Some O.
these products have indeed risen in val
ne. Furthermore, there is more stabil
ity Of prices, wages, rents, etc., thar
the gold countries have. Mexico ha

get back to the mainland to restore
warmth to his hands and feet. The line
had become coated with ice and quite
unmanageable. Discouraged at the i'll
success Of Hanna's expedient, the assist
ant reheated to the lighthouse, leaving
the bravo keeper alone.
About that time a tremendous wave
threw the schooner on her beam ends,
and Hanna knew there was not mo-
ment to lose. Once more he picked his
way through the binding, drenching
spray and by exerting all his strength
got the line aboard within reach Of one
of the men. Fixing the line around his
body, the sailor signaled the keeper and
then leaped into the freezing surf. With
difficulty Hanna drew him ashore, for
the man was almost gone, and his jaws
were set as if in death. Loosening the
line, he threw it again, and in the same
manner dragged the second sailor ashore
just as help arrived. Hanna received
the gold medal.
Among the awards in 1884 the board
gave gold medal for All act of individ-
ual heroism on the high seas. This
time the lucky man was a sailor. In
the latter part OF November, 1879, the
United States frigate Constellation lay
in the vicinity of the Azores, storm
bound in a gale lasting q week. On the
morning of the Gath bark was discov-
cred some miles distant, with colors at
half mast and signals flying for imme-
date help. The frigate sailed up, and
after hard struggle cleared a small
boat containing six men under the lead
of Ensign Lowell K. Reynolds The dis
tressed ship had lost her rudder and was
leaking badly. Her crew of IL men had
stood to the pumps five days and nights,
and to make matters worse her cargo
of grain had swollen SO as to force the
planks from her sides. The relief boat
could not board the wreck for fear OF
being stove against her hull, but lay
close and picked up four sailors who
Jumped into the sea. These were taken
to the Constellation, and the boat, fresh
ly manned, made a second trip, with the
gallant ensign in command. AS the day

Pearls.

Pearls.
From the most ancient times, pearls
seem to have been highly valued for
purposes of adornment. Twenty-Five
centuries before the Christian era, the
Chinese cultivated the pearl mussel,
and at this day they are ahead of other
nations in this respect. Carefully
opening the valves of the freshwater
mussel, the operator inserts small
pieces of wood, sometimes carved into
fantastic images, which in the course
of year or two are coated with a
deposit of pearl. The largest known
pearl in the world is one in the Kens
ington (England) museum, weighing
three ounces, and being four and a hal
inches in circumference; the most per
feet one is in the Moscow PRUSSIA
museum, weighs % carats, and is !;
perfect globe. The principal fisheries
for sea pearls are in India, and tn
Persian Gulf, though the Australian
coasts are developing strongly. Fresh
water pearls are found in many river
, of our own country, the best being o
: the Little Maimi, in Ohio, where the
, are working Systematically. Pearl
2 have also been found at various point
. on the Wisconsin, and at Lytle, on tn
! ! Black River, both localities bein
y easily reached by the fast and elegar
+ trains of the Burlington Route, tn

DECEMBER 7, 1895.

In every account of weddings,
receptions, anniversaries and dear
! knows what there is always a des-
cription of the floral decorations
but never a word about the pots
that hold the plants and flowers.
There are two reasons for this {:
One, because the pots are usually
such commonplace affairs that
theyare not worth mentioning; the
other is because they escape the
reporters eye.
Heretofore there has been only
one place in Honolulu where gem
uine majolica vases for plants
could be bought. Now, there are
two. OURS is the other one, and we
think it is the best because the
stock is larger and the assortment
| more varied. Today is a good
time to come down and make your
selection.
There used to be only two or
three places where you could buy
decorated chamber set and the
J ones they sold were Indifferent as
to quality or style; they contained
a certain number of pieces and
they managed to pretty well cover
a wash stand. Ours were selected
first for their usefulness and next
for their beauty. You never saw
their equal in this country and you
may never again-the odd shape
will strike your fancy and the
price, So to So, will settle it so far
as you are concerned. There's
nothing cheap about them except
the price. If you were in the States
you would pay twenty dollars for
them and never murmur. We
don't want the earth but we want
your trade.
In the same room with the
chamber sets you will notice a
lot of whatnot ornaments for
holding flowers. Most anyone
would appreciate one of them as
a gift at this season, because they
are pretty and useful, and you will
enjoy giving one of them away
because they are inexpensive. The
assortment is larger than you
imagine. Ii you prefer giving
away cut glass and do not feel
that you can spend much money
buy piece of English cut glass
1t costs about half what the Dor
finger American does, but it is
genuine.
We have the Dorhinger too.
