BRTTISH SJLYER

There has been a great deal of talk about the nse of British gold in this country in political campaigns, and there are those who believe some of it, but it can't be possible that there is any British silver in the present cam paign. Still there is no doubt that British owners of silver mines have a lively interest. in the outcome of the campaign. The product of the silver mines in the United States is about 50,0o0,000 ounces The annual product in other countries is about 125, ,OO0, 900 ounces. The total annual product of the world is about 175OO0, 900 ounces, worth at the market price about S115,500,000. By the experiment of free coinage we propose to increase the value of this annual product to $225, ,750, ,000-thus increasing the annual profit of the mine-owners by s11o000, O00 It Is known that a large part of the Stock or the silver mines of the United States is held by British owners. Not few of the best mines are wholly owned by British investors. It is also we'll known that British owners hold nearly all the other productive silver mines of the world-in Australia, Mex ico, South American and other lands. Silver is emphatically British pro- duct. One of the most famous mines of the world is the Broken Hill mine of New South Wales, which is British property. On a capital stock of $2,000,- 900 this mine has paid it's owners in eight years some S40,000,O00 of profits Its average output is 12,000,000 ounces of silver, besides gold, copper and lead
 Some of those who have been fore most in denouncing British gold are very friendly to British silver There is no accounting for tastes.

4 FOOLISH CHICAGO MAN.

One of the melancholy spectacles in this world is the spectacle of a man who does not know when he is well off Such 8. man is now exhibiting himself he is naturally applying for divorce. The reason he gives for wanting a di- vorce is the melancholy part of it. He says that his married life has been made unhappy because his wife will not take him seriously. Before they were married lie was not entirely seri- ous himself, that is, he was not serious all the time. He felt bound to enliven courtship by an occasional joke. Every joke he made was most heartily appre- ciated by the heauteous being for whose benefit it was made, and the infatuated man thought well of his wit and humor because the beauteous being seemed to think so well of them. And he felt sure that 8 beauteous being who could so fully appreciate some of his talents would, after marriage, extend her ap- preciation to all of them. He married her, and, finding that marriage is no joke he stopped trying to divert the beauteous being by funny sayings. and began to try to make her understand that he was a man of sound sense and sobriety, as well as man of pungent wit and light and airy humor. But she wouldn't take him seriously, even when he was most serious. She looked upon everything he said or did as a good joke. If he put on a frown and started 10 discuss household expenses she was set off into shrieks of laughter. Even when he threatened to apply for a di- vorce she laughed, when she should have wept. And so forth and more too.

THE SCHOOL nLEErING.

This is great year for large and en- thusiastic meetings of the people. The people filled Harmonic Hall last eve ming, and many of the people who were there were of the kind that wears dresses, sweet smiles and long and glorious hair They wore the crown of victory too before the meeting was over. Their work was well planned and well carried out Miss Ives nom- ination has been fairly won, and no fault can reasonably be found with the work or the success of her supporters Ample notice of the meeting had been given and both those who were there and those who were not had a right to be there and to say their say.
 The ticket nominated last evening is ''the regular ticket" and will have the strength that goes with regularity. It will be elected unless surprising and improbable things happen.

the wash of the waves on the shore, The air was delightfully."- clear, and in the distance l could see the white sail of sloop on the blue water,
 The sky was lovely blending of pale blue, purple, cream and pink tints, and the sun was hanging from beneath a gray cloud, a fiery ball of splendor,
 Below 1t the water was flooded with Q blood-red glow, and the beauty of the sun was reflected in it's rippling sur face.
 Slowly, slowly sank the sun; and just as l reached the woods it disap- peared behind the wooded hills, leaving them standing out In deep blue green against the rosy background of the sky The deep, dull boom of a yachts cannon broke the stiffness, and with a noise of running halyards, the flag at the house came rustling slowly down.
 As turned to enter the woods I saw a beautiful sight.
 Before me stood a cedar tree, and from it's dark green top to the lowest branches it was covered with lovely, golden brown butterflies.
 Most of the butterflies were resting on the tree, but some of them were floating in the air near by, hunting for q place to alight.
 They were very tame, and one even alighted on my hand
 There must have been as many as six hundred butterflies on the plant at that time.
 I left the cedar tree, and went on through the woods, and on every side were signs of the closing day.
 Far in the east the bright beam of Faulkner's light appeared, and on turning I saw the harbor light of the west shining also As I watched, one by one the lights along the shore gleamed brightly.
 The soft chirping of the birds, just going to rest, and the rustic of the leaves as the dying breeze touched them, were tokens of the coming sleep, into which nature was sinking.
 When I reached the rocks at the end of the woods the clouds were changing into silvery gray and gold, and, as watched, the last pink after glow of the sunset faded into the gray of even ing. LUCY L. YERRII4I..

 Styles in jewelry change. even with the expensive sorts. A twin ring is new notion, and 1t implies a useless hand, being therefore esteemed, after the manner of the tiny Chinese shoa. This ring is a double loop of gold, through one loop goes the second, through the other the third finger, leaving the first and the little fingers free. Each loop Is set with a jewel studded bar. Sometimes the two rings are connected by a flexible link, but they are considered prettier if inflexi- bly one It is supposed to be the grace ful boise of the hand when these mid- dle fingers lie fexibly together and such a ring seems to imply that that is the natural position of the hand and that the ring is worn without incon- venience. Try it and see whether your hand is used to the artistic boise.
 Tourmalines in all different colors are linked lightly together and worn about the neck. or even for girdles Dull sil- yer setting is much In favor, fob chains are studded With secondary" gems, and the effect is most artistic. Copper or enameled setting adds to ar tistic effect, though the value is noth- ing. Watches are made very pretty and are accepted as part of a costume, so swell folks must have a change of watches. It remains for some one to invent a little watch that will go into different cases, that the expense of a change of case may be somewhat re- duced. Bracelets are still out of favor.

An experiment is being made at the Elmira Reformatory of the effect of diet as a moral agent, Under the earning system of the reforma~ tory the inmates must earn their living and keep a credit balance to their &C., accounts in order to progress towards their release by parole. To maintain this credit balance a prisoner must re- strain, regulate and exert himself in a way which shows his improvement. Hitherto the diet rate has been inflexi- ble, but now an enlarged scale of diet ary privileges is provided, increasing from grade to grade, so that the pris- oners can out of their own accumula- tions select meal by meal at their pleas- ure, provided always that they keep their expenditure within the limits of indulgence allowed by the government of the reformatory. It is believed that many of the prisoners will for an invit- ing table menu, pay the necessary price of more attention to work and disci- pline, and thus progress along the lines of reformation.

JOE, THE PINMAN.
Travels to San Francisco and Back on
 Wager.

Travels to San Francisco and Back on
 a Wager.
 An interesting individual tranped into town this morning, and, no matter how much money he makes here, will tramp to the next town. The man was Joe, the pin man." from Boston, who is on his way back from walk to San Francisco on a wager. His name is Joe Williams. He is a newspaper man and is selling pins and pencils.
 He started from Boston, October 1, 1885, to walk to the Golden Gate and back in year, and on conditions which made him work with head and legs to win. The wager was posted after & drummers talk in a Boston hotel as to how many dollars worth of goods a man could sell in year and the terri tory he could cover.
 < Joe had to walk every foot of the dis tance, sell nine million lead pencils and six million papers of pins, together with earning his board and lodging for him. self and wife during the long tramp His wife and a fox terrier accompanied him, the former riding wheel.
 He has done remarkably well and has sold nearly all of his specified number of pencils and pins and is confident of selling out before reaching Boston, Oc- tober i, 1896. The two purses amount to $5, 900 and his commission on his sales s14,OO0.. He will have sold. by the time he reaches Boston $25O.000 worth of pins and pencils. He also made $3,500 in novel advertising schemes during the trip.
 In Easton, Pa, he shined the shoes of two hundred and fifty students. He has sawed wood and been whitewashed in the windows of various big estab- lishments for money and lodging. Nearly every hotel on the route gave him his lodging gratis for doing some little favor. He expects to clear close to thirty thousand dollars on the novel enterprise. About one-half of the pins sold by him are manufactured by the Star Pin Co.,, of Shelton, and the other half by the Waterbury Pin company.
 Mrs. Williams went in advance to New Britain, where Joe will meet her Sunday.
 Joe had a big book of clippings from newspapers all along the line which he prizes highly.
 He cannot write letter or ride on anything until he arrives home under forfeiture of the purse.--Ansonia Senti- nel

FASHION NOTES.
Jackets of Two Sorts.

The little combing jackets so much in favor can be made from skirts about to be discarded after the summer season
 A really full skirt will make a very pretty jacket, especially since you do not need such lot of stuff now for sleeves, Silk that would not do for anything else will wash and press and make very dainty jacket. Oh, it's economy in disposing of the old ones
 These jackets will be quite the rage again this winter Another jacket for fall wear is sketched here, and was found in plain blue cloth, finished with deep revers and pocket flaps, all edges being machine stitched A strap of the goods served as fastening for the jack ct, and pearl buttons closed its sleeves. Beneath it in this simple rig was a black silk blouse, closing with gold
