Dressing the Children.

The first thing in dressing little chill
dren is to make them comfortable and
the other first thing is to keep them
clean-absolutely clean. Fine clothes
are much harder to wash than nlain
ones, SO that sometimes they are not
washed 50 often. A plain little cotton
rock just from the washtub is a much
more agreeable sight than an elaborate
~ trimmed II not quite fresh. Have
plenty Of clOthes-so many that they
need not be considered at all and NAV
be put on fresh four or five times a day
II necessary, and SO plain that they are
nc trouble to wash.
: One woman, who determined that her
little girl should be always clean, and
who was obliged to consider pennies
very closely, hit on this plan: She made
the little frocks perfectly plain, out Of
anything she happened to pick up cheap.

or scratchy, no cross barred muslins or

made three or -four dresses. When one
was at all soiled, it was taken off and
thrown to soak in a tub Of warm water,
and by night there We're generally two

A GRACEFUL MOUNT.

cession. The bicycle craze, for that is
the only name for it. has affected trade
and commerce in many and palpahle
ways. 1t has entered seriously into the
question of transportation. Legislation
has been necessary to meet the new CON
dltioIs Of three-fourths of the country's
citizens whirling over the ground on
pneumatic tires.
Women succumbed late, but they have
gone under fast and far now that they
have acknowledged the sway Of the
wheel. The woman who does not ride
is getting rarer every day. The woman
who has not thought of riding is really
a remarkable person.
d Women's bicycling received its real
impetus when the smart set took it up.
Once the seal Of fashion was set upon
the sport the pace of its success was
designated. The limit of that success is
still unsettled. Conservatism in general
has entered its protest in print and bv
word of mouth and continues to do so.
but individual conservatism has daily
yielded TO the infectious influences all
about, and the ranks Of the new riders
every week are recruited from the most
modest and feminine, the least aggres-
sive and most womanly of women
There is no earthly reason why they
should not be. If the exercise can be
brought into disrepute, it will be by its
monopoly by the other sort of women.
1t is those of the sex who adorn and
dignity every act they perform who are
needed in this and every other pastime,
exercise or occupation.
That women can ride the wheel &C
ceptably in every sense of the word is
demonstrated every hour of every day.
The illustration shows a woman in the
act Of mounting, and her pose is as
graceful and pleasing as if she were en-
tering a carriage, much more SO han the
spring to a horses back for a canter.
In the matter Of costume the leaven
Of taste and mOdestv is as valuable
among wheelwOmen as among women
who do not wheel. So long as it is the
custom Of society that women shall
wear skirts she should keep t them on
the wheel. Numerous skirt costumes
have been designed that are safe and
convenient, and the plea that either
quality is increased by boomers is not
tenable. If in future decades dress for
women shall be revolutionized and the
skirts of today be lone away with, as
have the fa%rthingales and colts Of former
generations, there will then be no pub
lie sentiment n conventionalism to be
outraged and ~displeased, and the bloom
er question may take on a different
phase. The present, and it is to be hoped
the future, woman for many Il long day
should keep TO her skirts.
Nor should the matter Of age affect
woman's riding. If She is inclined TO
thee exercise and has the strength for il,
the Biblical Limitation Of threescore
and ten need not prevent her taking to
it. The older III however, who
mounts the wheel needs to be especially
careful i'll her dress. What is piuuant
and effective at 20 is not equally 50 at
20 and 50.-New York Times.

them. Even the more advanced Of them
think that women should be admitted
to the university with much more dis
elimination than is the case with men.
Candidates for admission have an awe
inspiring amount of red tape to unroll
before they have the right to apply for
degrees. They are obliged to secure per-
mission from the Prussian minister of
education, subject to the individual
wishes of the professors Of the univer-
sity, who have a perfect right to exclude
the ONE if they SO desire. The
faculty reserves the right to refuse to
present to the minister of education any
particular request for a degree. 1t is
understood that the candidate must have
fulfilled the usual requirements before
being granted the degree. She must
have studied three years at a German
university, or university adjudged by
the faculty to be of equal standard, the
last year at least to be spent in Coffin
gen. She must present an original dis
sertation which possesses in the judg-
ment Of the faculty scientific value and
have this afterward printed. She must
pass an oral examination in the subject
with which her thesis deals and in two
related subjects. Berlin Letter.

Dumping Ground Logic.

We don't hear so much of ''the
dumping ground for the worlds silver"
theory now. Mexico has rather
knocked the bottom out of it. Within
a year the marvellous prosperity of
Mexico has forced itself on the atten-
ton Of the people of the United States.
They see it building mills and fac
tories. They see the old-time peon
prices for labor steadily rising. Incl
IDENTIFY they have had impressed up
on them that the Mexican minis
are open for unlimited coinage of
silver, yet that there is no dumping
of the silver of other nations except,
perhaps, as money comes in for in
vestment in Mexican industries and de-
velopment of Mexican resources, and
that is a form of dumping which the
Rold-bugs, themselves, declare to be de-
sirable. There is only one thing that
will bring silver or gold to a country
and that is the demand of trade. II
other nations owe is money they must
send it and if we owe them money we
must send it. Silver coins circulate in
Europe at a ratio of about 15H to l and
they would hardly be sem here to be
recoined at 16 to L-Denver News.

The Silver Dollar Wul Buy - Mnch To-Dal
"A the Gold Dollar.

The Silver Dollar WHl Buy ~ Mnch To-Day
a. the Gold Dollar.
In . recent address 1T Atlanta, Ga,
criticising Q former speech by Secre-
tary Smith favoring the gold standard,
Hon. P. L Wynatt. . prominent friend
Of silver in Georgia, made this point.
"The United States silver dollar,
with s71k grains. viii buy as much in
any store in America as a gold dollar
will 1t is q legal tender money just
as 8 gold dollar is And yet Secretary
Smith, lsboring under the same appre-
tensions that ~bewildered Mr.. Sherman,
says that the present amount of silver
will not hurt, bat unlimited coinage
will; that 1t will drive out all the gold
and make Mexicsns and Cinnamon out
of US all or reduce us to their level
Mr.. Smith also says ut present the
credit of the government keeps the
silver dollar up to twice the value of
the bullion put into il, BE frequently
speaks in this connection of the sup
port Of the government in maintaining
silver. How are we to understand Mr..
Smith on this subject2 How does the
government support silver9 1t used to
buy 1t and coin it, but did it ever re-
deem it? Iapprehend that If Mr.. Pat
terson's wise bankers from the east
could go to the treasury with silver and
demand gold for it all this controversy
would end at once. But there being
no law that authorizes that / do not
understand how the government sup
ports silver. Perhaps the honorable
secretary means that the government
supports it in making it legal tender.
Well, If that is it the government does
the same for gold, and there is no more
liability upon the government in one
case than in the other.
"When the government passes a law
requiring the free coinage of silver it
will pass, as it does now, wherever the
stamp takes it. OF course our coin
would not be taken abroad any sooner
in gold than in silver. But a coin of
the United States, whether gold or sill
yer, brought here would be taken the
one just as readily as the other. Then
practically where can the difference
beP If you owe a debt in France to-
day a bank in Atlanta or New York
would sell yop a check on Paris as well
for silver as for gold. For all practi-
cal purposes it is equal to gold, while
it is a legal tender. 1t pays all debts
and buys all things. Can gold do any
more? The only trouble that besets
us is that when these mighty men from
the east have cornered all the gold,
there is legal tender silver in the way.
1t is badly in their way, because it is
