THE FUTURE OF EUROPE.
lie Bon, the French Historian, Predicts an
Oriental Influx.


Oriental Influx.
The French historian LIE Bon in a re-
cent article predicts that Europe will
become the seat for despotism and later
for barbarism and incur the same fate
as the Byzantine and the Persian en-
pires. Next the Slavs will destroy the
old culture, and then Europe will be
overrun with the orientals, particularly
the Chinese and the Hindoos.
According to Professor lie Bon's
views, general European war will be
succeeded by terrible economic condi-
tions. The orient is already commenc-
ing to be the producer for Europe in
stead of being the consumer, and Eu-
rope, in spite of it's tariff protection,
will find it impossible to check the
flood. India is now exporting its prod
uce, which, in spite of transportation
expenses, is sold at lower figure than
the European, and India, provided with
machinery, is now competing with Eu-
rope in the manufacturing market
China, when its war with japan is
over, will follow India's example.
When India and China, with their
enormous deposits of coal, have mass
of factories in operation, they will over
whelm the European markets with then
products and place the European work.

or starve on absolutely insufficient

Temps, may be drawn in dark colors.
but every one familiar with political
economy must to certain extent in

certain of their branches are now and

From the Wilmington Messenger.

rivalry; it has it all it's own way, but
{, here is no plethora. Again, if an
really cause such Il tremendous de-
rreciation in the price of that metal,
y by has not the great production OF
gold reached in the same direction
and with like result? But instead
of the great increase in production
(for all gold organs say there is a
great increase) causing gold to fall it
has acted the other way and made it
rise so per cent. in value. That is
funny? Here we have a law that re-
uses to work the same way, but goes
back on itself completely.
Another strange thing has hap
pened. 1t is this: the valuation OF
silvtr-its relation to commodities,
has been more steady, more equable
Tor the past twenty years than has
been the case with gold, No we'll ill.,
formed man OF any school of finance
will deny that. 1t is positive fact,
and it should be remembered, that
prices have not fallen in the silver
countries. Says the allie Phila-
delphia Manufacturer of 4fh inst, a
staunch Republican:
"No decline of prices has appeared
in silver standard countries, aud, iii
our own country; silver bullion,
measured in avoirdupois, will tny rs
much cotton. wheat or wool MS If
ever would. Silver and all the staple
products of human toll stand in re-
lation to one another just about
where they were score of years ago.
But the relation of gold to these
things has changed SO much in the
period named hat nearly three times
AS n.uch wheat must be employed to
buy a gold dollar or to pay interest
upon a fixed debt. Stated as o
naked proposition, apart from mons
preiudices and stubbornness, no INST
man would for an instant deny that
the money which does not fluetuate
in value is sounder and more honest
,han,that which f1uctuates as gold
las done. Rising gold robs every
debtor, besides doing infinite wrong
md harm in other ways. But this
wrong is not the consequence of any.
Thing inherent in gold. 1t is the
direct and positive result of the acts
of legislation which Disseminated in
iavor of gold and against silver,
compelling gold to do alone the wo, k
hich should be done, and for
thousands of years prior to 1873
was done, by gold and silver to-
gether. Wers the Double Standard
olce more set up, the two metals
would retain the same equable rela-
ton to commodities which silver has
retained; and then thecivilized world
ould have that of which it has
known nothing practically for two
decades, really and permanently
sound, honest, standard me ney."

How to DrIll . Square Hole.

Make the drill of a three sided steel
bar, which side is like the side of the
square hole you want, and prepare it in
the end for cutting good and freely.
Over the spot where the hole is wanted
place a fixture with a square hole of the
same size as required. The drill can be
fixed for boring machine and is guild
ed in the hole of the fixture. The fin
ished holes look good with slightly
rounded corners.

A few ladies carry little tightly rolled
bundles strapped to the back of the wheels.
These contain, neat and warm little golf
capes, which are made short SO as not to
catch in the handle bar, and they have
straps which keep them from blowing over
the head. These are made indifferently
of the same stuff as the rest of the cos
tune or of other material entirely. All
have the capuchin hood, and this in case
of a storm is of excellent service.
Whipcord has been used for very swell
suits, but it has the disadvantage of grow
ing glossy by very little wear. Suits of
whipcord, with sack coats are shown, and
they look very pretty. The coat is cut
faring in the back, but not more SO than
the coats for men. There are three pockets,
and they may be single or double breasted.
Caps, Tams or toques of the same material
may be worn. Such a suit as this, mean
ing with long, divided skirt, would be very
suitable for middle aged ladies. 1t is not
the young people alone who ride upon safe
ties.
Leggings and CATERS can be bought
cheaper than one can make them. Shoes
may be tan or canvas and should always
fit loosely. One word should be said about
pockets. There should be several pockets
in each suit, as there arc many little odds
and ends that one ought to be able to put
her hand on at once and if they We're all
in one pocket they would weigh it down
unreasonably.
Gowns for trips in the mountains should
be as light and as firm and as soberly
made and colored as bicycle suits. Bran
bles and rocks and wet grass all have a
habit of catching to such gowns and soil
ing them if of anything but the frmest
of material. The dresses now being made
for the annual exodus are generally cut
princess style, with the skirts just reach
ing to the ankles and faced deep with bias
velutina. Neat, calfskin bootees are worn,
and they are laced high above the ankle.
Many ladies have knickerbockers of fan

Explorer stanley's Origin.

The much eventiated question OF
Henry M. SANKEY'S origin has again
come to the front. Almost "a many
places and people claim Stanley as have
claimed Homer, says the Philadelphia
Record. Thomas George, who describes
himself as ian old playmate" OF the
African explorer, in a little book Just
published entitled THE Birth, Boyhood
and Younger Days of Fl. M. Stanley"
says that SANKEY'S real name Is Howell
not Hywel, tho Welsh form of th %
name--Jones; that he was born at
Ysger. In :he parish of Bettws, near
Newcastle Emlyn, Csrmarthenshire, in
1910.
His father WAS bookbinder and
he lived with his father and grand
mother mot in the poorhouse) In a
peaceful dwelling in Bwlchmelyn. Be-
fore he was five years old Stanley could
repeat several Psalms from memory,
and local phrenologiss predicted shas
he would become great traveller. At
seventeen he went to sea. In 1862 he
wrote his father from Callao that he
had changed his name from Howell
Jones to Henry Morton Stanley.
