The Charity Circus.

The performance of the Charity
Circus, which was to have taken
place Thursday night, took place
last night, and was attended by
about 1900 people. The program,
as previously published in the
LIGHT, was carried out, and the
performance was a very creditable
one.
The feature of the evening was
the wonderful exhibition OF troop
F, Seventh cavalry, under COM
mand of Sergeant ]. III. Hemphill.
This was pronounced by everybody
who saw it to be the most wonder
full exhibition of the kind ever seen
in San Antonio.
The bareback riding OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Marks is also deserving OF
special mention, and merited much
applause to this pair OF skilled
artists.
After the main performance the
usual concert was given,which was
witnessed by about 500 people.

TURNING OUT AT NOON

In the season when the grass turns
Green again and days grow warm,
Back my thoughts are sure to wander
Tony summers on the farm.
One sweet period, I'm certain,
VIII not leave my memory soon;
IT'S the hour OF 'leven-thirty
And the turning out at noon
lean see the patient horses
Almost smiling at the sound
OF the cracked old bell that told Us
Not to go another round;
Standing steaming in the furrow
List'ning TO the joyous tune
That sung out: ."Eleven-thirty
Time to stop and take your noonl"
'Leven-thirty, and they're thinking
OF the mow's and granary's store;
And the cool drink where the ripples
Dash their shiny pebbles DER.
Not a shadow of complaining
That we'll work again so soon;
Danish care at 'leven-thirty
With the turning out at noon
In my vision, heaped-up platters
Ny horizon fill, and then,
After dinner, in the dooryard
Swapping stories with the men
And besides these common pleasures,
A wife's smile and baby's Groom,
Walt me at eleven-thirty,
Wait my turning out at noon.
Hours Of toll, brief moments resting,
Long the days have often been:
But the more I've pondered DER it
The moro clearly have seen;
Always It's the well-earned pleasure
Seems to bring the richest boon,
Like the welcome 'leven-thirty.
And the turning out at noon.

had five large factories in full operation.
Now the essential difference between mo-
hair and alpaca is that the first is woven
from the fine white hair of the Angola goat
and accepts any dye, while alpaca is made
from the coarser coat of the South Ameri-
can llama ard is rarely dyed, but sold in
the natural tones of black, gray or rusty
dark brown. Though made in Germany
is stamped upon so many OF the small find
nus and trimmings OF gowns, the average
American woman has grown to believe
that the decently clad world must depend
upon these little Prussian towns. The best
of the mohair braids are English woven,
and Just why the English surpass all other
nations in their manufacture of goods from
Angora goat and llama hair is chiefly be-
cause of the moisture in the English air.
1t is only in damp atmosphere that this
yarn can be spun; an atmosphere like that
in Russia Germany and France must he
artiiicially produced and in which the spin
ming and weaving is not nearly so success
full as in England.

THE OMNIvOROUS ITALIAN.

To the Italian everything is edible; it is
nation without palate. ltsteeps hare
in fennel and eats salt with melons. The
craze for devouring birds of all kinds as a
species of fury from the Alps to lEtna they
crunch the delicate bodies between their
jaws with disgusting relish, and the lark
represents to them succulent morsel for
the spit or pasty. Trade in larks all over
the world is enormous and eXecrable, and
is as large in England as in Italy. 1t
should at once be made penal by heavy
fines on the trappers, the vendors and the
eaters or ere long no more will the lark be
heard on the earth. 1t is admitted by all
who know anything Of the subject that
agriculture would be impossible without
the aid of birds, as the Larvae and developed
insects of all kinds would make desert
of the entire area of cultivated land.
This is well known yet all over the world
the destruction of birds RACES unchecked,
and no attempt is made to protect them, to
interdict their public sale, and to enable
them to nest and rear their young in peace.
A scientific writer has said that the de-
structon of the individual is unimportant,
but the destruction of the type is crime
He was speaking of the destruction of the
great aux. As matters go now, unless
some stringent measures are taken the
birds OF Europe will in the next century
be as extinct as is now the dinornis The
ornithophil societies in France and Switzer
land have more than once written to ma
that unless birds be protected in Italy they
must perish all over Europe, since so great
a variety of races wing their way to the
South in winter, and there are ruthlessly
murdered.

ORIGIN OF ALPACA GOODS.

perhaps the most familiar object in the
average woman's daily life, and of the SUBJ
stance of which she remains always most
ignorant, is the wool and mohair goods
counters and which are sampled, measured,
piled, twisted, tested and felt of every hour
of the day. Like the primrose by the rivers
brim, it is mohair, cashmere or alpaca to
them and nothing more, and many are
strong in the belief that mohair and alpaca
are one and the same material with only a
little difference of weave.
Now, as a matter of fact, the substance
for their weaving comes from exactly
opposite sides of the world, and from the
time of the Peruvian Incas to 1886 alpaca
was stuff unknown in any woman's ward
robe. Its revival was wholly due to the
inventive cleverness of Titus Salt of Eng
land, who afterward got title to dignity
his old name, and who in the year above
mentioned stumbled across in Liverpool
warehouse number of bales of ill smelling
black hair from South America As no
one seemed to have any special desire to

TRUE BI-METALISM.

From the Baltimore County Union, March End
Bi-metalism can only be accomplished
by treating silver in precisely ~ same
manner as gold is treated; that 49, by put
ting into a silver dollar one hundred cents
worth Of silver bullion, just as the gold
dollar contains one hundred cents worth of
gold bullion This was the basis ON which
silver was coined at the beginning of the
Nation, and the ratio of Is to determined
by the relative value of silver bullion to
gold bullion. The same principles should
guide us now, but they disregarded by a
great many people in their effort to estab-
fish free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS
to l, while the correct ratio, on the basis
OF which the early fathers of this Nation
determined the ratio, would be 30 grains of
silver to one of gold, making silver dollar
in size twice as large as the present one.
The advocates Of free coinage retain the
ratio of Hamilton and Jefferson who were
true bimetalists), but ignore the principles
which guided them in fixing the ratio.
On the principles of the later day BIZ
metalists the original silver dollar would

WOMEN WHO WRITE.

When man writes he wants pomp and
circumstance and eternal space from which
to draw. If he writes home he needs a
study or IA library, and he wants the kew
lost ana the keynote pasted over, so that
nobody can disturb him. His finished pro-
ducts are of much importance to him, and
for time, he wonders why the planets
have not changed their orbits or the sun
shine acquired new brilliancy because he
has written something by cast iron method.
woman picks up some scraps OF a copy
book or the back of il pattern, sharpens her
pencil with the scissors or gnaws the end
sharper. She takes an old geography, tucks
her pencil periodically, and produces litera-
ture.
She can write with Genevieve pounding
ont her exercises on the piano, with Mary
buzzing over her history lesson for to-
morrow, Tommy teasing the baby and the
baby pulling the cats tail The domestic
comes and goes for directions and supplies,
but the course of true love runs on, the
lovers WOO and win, and the villains kill
and die among the most commonplace sur
roundings.
mans best efforts, falling short of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman VINO writes will often, with the
stump of ii pencil, and amid the distractions
above mentioned, produce tender bit of a
poem, dramatic situation, or a page OF
description that, though critics rave, lives
on, travels through the exchanges and finds
place in the scrap-hook of the men who
know good thing when they see it,
whether there is well-known name signed
it or not.

silver on strictly intrinsic value basis and
give us true bi-metallism.
| On this basis we could issue silver notes
up to the capacity Of the Nation to absorb
them, and the circulation could be in
creased to as high rate per capita as
under free coinage, at the ratio of Is to l.
Consequently there is no reason why the
farmers and working people who advocate
free coinage at this ratio, simply because
they wish more money in circulation,
should continue to favor scheme that
would benefit only the owners of silver
mines. These mine-owners are not con-
tent with reasonable profit, but want to
get Sl.0O for that which they can sell at q
proht Tor % cents. Silver, like wheat and
other produce, is regulated by its actual
value, and as there is plenty of it to be had,
we should be slow to encourage an agita-
ton that will benefit only the producer Of
silver, and do incalculable injury to the
country.
There is still need in this country for A
vast amount of additional American money!.
There is usually invested in American
securities, outside of Government bonds
about $500, 600, 900 of foreign capital. This
money is used in the development of our
country, because of the insufficient supplv
of American money. On this 500. 600. 600
we pay annually at least $50, 900, 900 in.
terest in gold.
There is no reason why American silver,
II prt on an intrinsic value basis, should
not take the place of this foreign capital,
and keep this interest at home. While W.
are comparatively a new, and rapidly
developing Nation, yet with our vast sup
ply OF silver we should be able to deyelon
our country without the aid of foreign cap
ital, but we cannot hope to successfully do
so with any money except that which ia
intrinsically worth what its face calls for,
or be exchangeable for money which has
this value.
With continuation of an excess of e.-
port values over import values, as in the
past twenty-five years, and with the grad
ual decline in the use of foreign can
ital in the development of our country.
there rs no reason why, in time, the
the united States should not largely con-
troll the gold of the world, Just as England
does to-day. ID. f. MARoNEY.

DEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER,
She Does Not Keep Pace With the Ad-
vance of Medical Science.


We all know Just what adorable creatures
all grasdmothers are, and how they cannot
do enough for the little ones belonging to
their sons and daughters. Now, without
wishing to appear ungrateful for these
attentions, says the Louisville Post, there
are some mothers who think themselves
quite capable of caring for their own babies
and the continual and persistent contrary
opinion of grandma becomes, after time,
vexatious, rather than helpful.
Even though grandma has brought up
dozen children, and this is her daughters
very first experience in that line, it is just
as we'll not to give over-liberal doses of
advice, nor is it good policy to empty out
the medicine the doctor prescribes for
baby's cough and substitute syrup of
sauills which was all that the youngsters of
another generation were dosed with.
The latter medicine may be regarded by
grandma as the most perfect cough remedy
in existence, but the prescribed drops or
pellets may be quite as effective, and it is
but natural that the young mother and the
physician in charge should feel bit an
noyed at the assumption of superior know
ledge, however well founded it may be.
Babies need as varied treatment as plants
do. What may have answered splenddly
for grandma's dozen, might prove quite
the reverse or beneficial for the fin de
steele youDgster, and even though a baby
is novelty to young mothers, nature will
be her best teacher as to its wants and
cares. Grandma must remember that she
had to be initiated in her superior baby
training before she could pose as an oracle,
and would she have been pleased to have
had her authority wrenched from her by a
wiser somebody who scorned her methods
and ridiculed her lack of wisdom?
When the young mother asks for advice,
it is time enough to give it to her She is
certain to do so and will appreciate most
kindly the valuable hints the more eXper-
fenced mother can give her but her feelings

my now affianced wife revived suffi'
ciently to hear how we were saved by a
party of sleighriders who met us just
as we were surrounded. Though
nervous and weak from excitement,
she recovered her buoyancy of spirit
before we arrived home, and had
promised to keep our adventure a
secret, as I informed her the 'owner of
the horses would charge me fearful
price if he knew to what tests his
steeds had been put And that is my
adventure with wolves, and how l
came to marry"
"But did your wife never find out
the deception you practised ?" we
asked the old settler, as he laughed
again while thinking of his boyish
pranks.
"Not until eight years ago." he re-
piled, "when I told her of it one even
ing when she was ironing"
"Wbat did she say ?"
"Not much-not very much," an
swered our old romancer; but removing
his hat, he showed us a triangular
space upon his head, such as might
have been made by a hot smoothing
iron, and with not a hair upon its
surface. We thought Fanny was re-
venged.
