Henry Eahouchere dissatisfied With the
GOXernlnemt's IrOGraml.

LONDON, Feb. 11.-On the resumption
on the address in reply to the queens
speech opening the session Of the house
of commons Friday, Joseph Chamber
lain offered an amendment declaring it
was contrary to the public interest for
the time of parliament to be occupied in
the discussion of measures which, ac-
cording to the minister's own state
ments, had no prospect of passage into
law, while proposals involving grave
constitutional changes had been an
nounced on which the Judgment OF par
lament should be taken without delay.
In speaking of his amendment. Mr..
Chamberlain said the refusal Of the
government to disclose the terms Of
their proposed resolution against the
house OF lords was disrespectful to the
house. The government was lettering
and could no longer represent the inter-
ests of Great Britain i'll councils Of
Europe. Neither could it enact meas
ures for the enforcement of its domestic
policy.
Herbert Asquith said it would not be
the governments fault, but that of the
house of lords if the measure did not be-
come a law. Henry Labouchere said
his party was dissatisfied because a
leader, Lord Rosebery, who was a men,
Der of the house Of lords, had been
planked upon them. He blamed Lord
Rosebery for pandering to the ''jingo'
party. There had undoubtedly been a
change III the attitude of Liberal off
cialdom since the retirement of Mr..
Gladstone, both III regard to the home
rule and the position on the house of
lords. The change was due TO the in
fiuence of Lord Rosebery. Mr.. Labou-
chere warned the government the coun-
try had not changed its view Of the
question, bat demanded the abolition Of
the house of lords. He urged the gov
eminent not to pursue a coarse which
would surely lead to disaster.

More or Less In Vogue.

More or Less In Vogue.
Certain fixed rules have prevailed and
are likely to prevail as regards letter
writing, but no law has been laid down,
even by Dame Fashion, as to what size
Of shape of paper and envelopes, what
thickness or what color is correct. I'm.
ruled paper is of course the only thing
possible. To write with lines implies,
to put it very mildly, a neglected edu-
cation. The note or letter stamped with
the hall mark of good breeding is gen.
orally on a medium sized cream tinted
sheet absolutely without any fragrance
save a very faint one of orris root.
Bright blue paper or bright purple
has lately been shown at the s%tationers'
shops, paper that will fold not into
square but into oblong envelopes. 1t is
a fancy that will not last. Crests, mon
ograms and coats Of arms are all more
Or less affected, but the favorite orna-
mentation on any paper is the address
stamped at the top Of the first sheet in
clear, distinct letters, not script. On
the envelopes there is never anything
put. There was al attempt to have the
address also Oh the back Of the envel-
olr, but tradespeople adopted the plan
at once, and it was then tabooed as be-
ing too professional.
All sizes Of paper ought to be kept on
hand on a we'll appointed writing ia
Bile. Letter paper of good size, note pa
per, medium and very small, and even
a few of the cards which fit into square
envelopes should be within easy reach,
and there should also be some thin large
paper or pads for common use. Paper is
much cheaper than it used to be, so
there is very little excuse for untidy
letters written ON half sheets and folded
into envelopes that do not at all CORE
spond in color or shape.
Writing pads are capital things to
use. The finest qualities Of linen paper
come in these pads Of the right size to
60 into the small square envelopes, and
when there are q great many letters to
be written it is much easier to write
them On a pad than to sit down at a
writing table to do it.
1t is always smart looking to seal a
note or letter with sealing wax. Red,
black and pale blue are the best to use.
Postal cards are not in favor for cor
tespondence. They are used only in CIV
ing orders OF for business purposes.
Writing with quill pens is not so
much Of a fac as at one time it threat
ened to be, but clear, legible handwrit-
ing should be cultivated. Colored inks
are no used. Jet black is decidedly the
thing, according to Harper's Bazaar,
which is authority for the foregoing.

RDSEBERY ACCUSED OF JINGOISM

Eenry Labouchere Does Not Like the Pre-
nnier's Attitude Toward Home Rule and
the House of Lords-Minister Gray's
Body Started Home From the City OF
Mexico--Foreign Gossip.
BERLIN, Feb. 17-Count Won Mir
bach German Conservative introduced
a resolution in the reichstag i~nstructing
the federal governments of Germany to
issue invitations for an international
monetary congress TO take measures to
bring about the rehabilitation of silver
as a circulating medium. Mirbach said
that the moment had now arrived for
Germany ia take the i~niative IN settling
this question which is OF great import
ance. Bimetallism would cause the
raise of all prices in gold, when gold
was the currency. Agriculture would
be ruined if the present system was
maintained. America would either alb
sorb Germany's gold or adopt a pure
silver standard and capture the whole
eastern trade. Other supporters of the
resolution Endorsed the position that
Germany had taken at the Paris none
tary conference in 1888, namely that
she regarded an international agreement
upon a ratio between gold and silver as
desirable.
Favored by Herbert Bismarck.
DR.. Theodore Barth German Radical
Tnionists) SAT- the Brussels conference
had proved a fiasco and the conference
in Germany in 1893 was fruitless.
There was little or no connection be-
tween the depression in husbandry and
and the introduction of the gold stand
ard. Count Herbert Bismarck said the
failure of the Brussels conference was
partly due to the absence of an entente
between the powers which took part of
it. The Berlin conference of 1918 ar
rived at a result because Great Britain
and Russia had previously reached a
basis for an agreement. An interna-
tional entente upon the currency ues-
ton would be arrived at in the course of
time and in the case Of Great Britain

metallism. In conclusion Count Her
bert said: 1T gives me great pleasure
to show how warmly my friend Balfour
mas taken up tne cause III tlat country.
Herr S~choenlank Social Democrat)
contended that the introduction of BIZ
metallism would lead to a fall IN the
value of currency and would promise
nothing but a HOPELESS future to the
workingman. DR.. Lieber Center said
the Centrists willingly supported the
measure because they saw in the pro-
posed conference an attempt to remove
the difficulties in regard to the monetary
s~tandard-a question which was OF par
amount Importance to commerce. Chan
cellor Won Hohenlohe delared that he
was inclined to favorable consideration
for a proposal for an interchange Of
views on the subject with those states
which We're concerned in the silver
question. The debate was then ad-
