MEXICO Is NO CHUMP
She Is Buying Our Silver and ReapinS
a Harvest.
GOLD COUNTRIES SUFFER
Here Is an Instance Where This
Country'S Financial Policy
Finds Plain and Practl-
cal Discredit.
GOLD COUNTRIES SUFFER

New YORK, Jan. 3.-M. Guggenheim
Sons of New York have, during the last
few days, shipped large quantities of bar
silver from Omaha, Kansas City, Aurora
and New York to the City of Mexico for
coming by the Mexican government mints
into Mexican dollars. They state that IN
asmuch as the transaction involves an ex-
pense of nearly per cent, consisting of
transportation and mintage charges, 1t
may be considered as a strong illustration
of the effect which the low price of silver
is having on the trade of the silver coun-
tries.
Mexico exports large quantities of
coined silver and the only condition which
would make reimportation of bar silver
for coming profitable would be very
large diminution in tho imports, coupled
with largo exports of merchandise. This
is actually happening in Mexico.
1t is significant as illustrating the ten
dency on the part of the silver countries,
SO far as their supply of manufactured
goods is concerned, and also as a stimulus
which the low price of silver had given to
the exports from silver countries. The
Mexican silver dollar is at premium
of about seven per cent. and foreign eX-
change on Mexico is at a discount of
about seven per cent, condition the re-
verse of that which now prevails in the
United States. The countries on a silver
basis are reported as prospering under
the low price of silver, while the gold
basis countries are suffering.

A STRANGE STORY.
Telling Of tho Experiences of an Escaped
Russian Exile.

Telling of tho Experiences of an Escaped
Russian Exile.
CHICAGO, Jan 3.-John BuroH, Rus
sian, told strange tale in the insane
court at the detention hospital to-day.
Judge Donnelly and DIR. Fortner, the ex-
amining physician, while realizing the
mental condition of tho man, are inclined
to believe his story true.
About six years ago, tho young man
says, he was discovered IN a conspiracy to
kill Alexander III. and the entire royal
family. The plot was on the eve of exc
cution, when Buroir, with 200 others, was
taken into custody, convicted and sem
tencod to Siberia.
Chained with him was an cX-genoral in
the Russian army, 90 years of age, who
had been exiled with his daughter, aged
Il. Tho trio. after hdeous experience,
effected their escape, subsisting for days
on roots and herbs. Burof was wounded
but survived. The general perished of
exposure. The generals daughter is now
living in st. Petersburg.
Hounded by detectives, BuroiI took to
drink, and while he was rational to-day,
Judge Donneliy ordered that he be kept
in custody.

Told of His Wrong Doing.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
HELENA, Jan. 81. w. Stablein, a
clerk. is under arrest and behind the bars
charged with the theft of money and
goods from Weinsiein's store. 1t seems
that petty larcenies were suspected for
some time and under a search warrant
the room and luggage of Stablein were
overhauIed. Enough was discovered to
implicate the clerk in numerous small
peculations and an officer put him IN the
city Jail.
An inspection of a grip of Stablein's at
the city marshars Office this forenoon de-
veloped various articles of merchandise,
several boxes of cigars, a number of cakes
of toilet soap, cans of soup, penknives,
chewing gum, pack of cards and the
like, and a sum of money, SOLO, tied up
in handkerchief. The merchandise was
evidently stolen in small lots. The whole
of it taken from the valise amounted 10
so in value.
Mr.. Weinstein believes that he has been
victimized in a much larger sum in all,
but as TO this there IS no positive proof.

Not for the idle hast thou worlds in keeping;
Only the weary find thine open sea.
More deep and large than palace floors OF

Stretches thy splendor from the darksome

Daytime or night the love-lorn pollen flying
Finds sweet-lipped life athlrst and waiting

Far on my sight are golden harvests lying
Strength comes with harvest, on my lips

All. sweeter still the reverie diviner
When, doing no one thing, live with Him
Into the roots OF life; and rapture finer

We know news when we hear it or
read it, but little do we imagine the
various and intricate channels through
which such items come. In almost
every case the sources and course of a
bit of news would be far more inter-
esting than the matter impaired AS a
curious instance is quoted the case of
the two Louisville women, who are
great friends" as the phrase goes, but
from one cause or other have not met
far several weeks, though living only a
few squares apart. The other night
one dame went down to visit the other
one, and said, on entering the house:
Margaret, came down to see you
because heard you were sick"
WELL" answered Margaret, who
seemed trifie out of sorts, ''you took
your time about it. / have been sick a
week."
YES" Deborah replied, "but could
not come any sooner, because you took
such roundabout way of letting me
know you were sick"
Roundabout way? Idon't remember

my arm thereon to enable me to rest
in standing position, my attention
was attracted to a tomb inside the field,
perceivable between the rows of brown
corn which waved in the wind, it's

breathing of one who slumbers. The
inscription, scrawled, I suppose, with
a penknife, was as follows:

ABOUT FLOWERS.

The coloring principle of the madden
affects even the bones of animals that
devour the plant.
The ivy-leaved lettuce opens its leaves
and flowers at eight o'clock in the morn
ing and generally closes again by four.
A great many flowers close at night.
The marigold shuts up at shutdown and
remains closed until morning.
All plants are provided with flowers,
though sometimes these are SO small
and SO hidden as to escape notice.
The pollen of flowers is in grains so
small that many kinds are no more than
thousandth of a millimeter in dame
ter.
The carthamine flower has for thou
sands of years been used to dye fabrics
of yellow color. The mummy cloths
found in Egyptian collins are dyed
yellow with this flower.
