From the above it will be seen that
from the year 100 to1s4O gold produc-
tion was about half million a year.
Then came the gold discoveries Of
California and Australia, and the In.
crease in production ran up to about
{, 100000 ounces per year until 1850,
since which there has been further
increase by discoveries in Africa and
else where.
Silver made but little increase for
the ITO years preceding ''the crime OF
1873" but since then the annual pro-
duction has increased four foldl II
in the last twenty-five years the pro
duction of.wheat had increased four
times, y hat would have been the price
of wheat? Besides silver isn't dispos-
ed ofeach year as is wheat. Silver is
comparatively indestructable, and we
still have on hand the most OF the
yield of that metal for many years
back. About two years OF the worlds
total is now IN the government vaults
at Washington.

For Vice President Of the United States.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
s. The democrats have met In conven-
tlon-and parted. Half Of them nom
mated . ticket. For president. Will
liam J. Bryan Of Nebraska, a young
man Of SO years. whose nomination is
confessed to be the result Of speech
made In the convention, the day be-
fore. a speech by the way, In our
opinion, in points Of logic, sarcasm,
argument or rhetoric, is not to be
compared in q literary way with the
speech of Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Bryan's poll
tical history is popullstic-d democratic
fusion.
The vice presidential nominee is
Arthur b. Sewell. q millionaire bank
president, railroad president and ship
builder, Of Bath, Maine. He has no
political history, except that OF q
Maine democrat-which are equiva-
lent expressions. The platform, as
we-said last week, is populism, or
worse, and specifically declares its
wnparty administration a failure.
With reference tovOting strength,
the convention assembled with the
silyerites lacking atwo-thirds majcrt-
ity. Byswhat even q silver delegate
.called highway robbery" the two
thirds was made secure by throwing
out Michigan gold delegates.
With reference to brain power, as
represented by men who have been
always recognized as leaders Of the
national democracy, the division is at
the rate Of four to one In favor of
gold. Since the convention about
.one hundred democratic newspapers,
whose cIrcul9tton together is by far
larger than any other hundred news
lin the United States, have bolted the
platform and candidates.
The only questions Of interest left
by the democratic convention are
what the boiling democrats will dop
What the populists will do? What
will the silver republicans de?
The only question about the demo
cratic boilers is that Of method Of de-
feating the silver candidates; wheth-
er to nominate q democratic candi-
date, refrain from voting, or vote for
McKinley.
The national populist convention
will beSmore interesting than usual
this year, because they will decide
whether to endorse Bryan, nominate
Teller or q middle-of-the.road popu-
list, and indications are that the fight
will be pretty one.
The silver republicans find them
selves In variety Of predicaments
aud don't really see any particular
abiding place and their final DISPOSE
tion e quandary. ) n
In the meantime 1t must not be for
gotten that there is to be 9 ssilver
party Organized at st. Louis this
month.
From present Indications the ep-
position is buslly engaged in prepar-
ing to hang itself next November.

1t is always a good plan TO have re-
serve bodice in the shape of one of black
satin; this is TO be brought forth and
used when in doubt as TO what to
wear" This is best made close-ftting
and plain as a sort of foundation fol
fanciful additions. 1t may be made
quite high in the neck or otherwise cut
outsquae, while one or two semi-trans-
parent guimpes-black and white sew
erally-night be provided; also one OF
black satin like the bodice which would
be found useful for daytime uses; also,
If greater variety is desired, guimpe
of fancy dotted or fowered silk, striped
satin or plated chiffon; and pretty
finish would be TO add plated wrist
fr1ils matching each small chenlisetta
which Is to be put on and securely
tRstened to me underwaist before the
satin bodice is donned.
Ladies' cloth and mstrous ribbed silh
will be used in combination on spring
dresses for church wear, dinners, call.
ing, etc. New weaves and colorings in
repped woods, Vicuna cloths, roughly
woven English seTges, hop-Sacking
effects in silk-and-wool mixtures, mo.
hairs, and French cashmeres in fancy
designs or in rich monochromes are all
in the hands of fashionable modistes
who are already making quaint, quiet
and elegant costumes for the Lenten
season, and also planning novel and ex-
ceedin8ly smart gowns for Easter time.
Among the new things for spring will
appear coats of various shapes and
lengths, most of them happy mediums
between the over-long skirted styles.
OF year ago and the bobbed-off shapes
of this winter; also round waists with
stylish elegant belts and buckles,
French redingotes and trimmed prin-
cesse dresses, gowns with peplum over
skirts, tunics and slight peniers; yoke
top killed skirts. gored skirts, slightly
reefed in circumference, and those
slashed and paneled, will all be seen,
and for garniture will appear elaborate
braidings in Greek key OF vine devices
arahesques and purely conventional
patterns. spangled gimps and passe-
menteuies, leather bands, ribbons in
lows or points and jet and fine gold
galloons in Vandyke designs.
The indications are that the skirs
and coat style will continue in favor
for ordinary walking, shopping and
travelling costumes, and that mohairs,
cheviots, English tweeds and serges
will be Che fabrics used for these. The
materials are so finished in themselves
that they require but very little trim
ming, thus enabling one to put all the
in the handsome fabric. Suede
red vests are again used both on Paris
and London costumes, and one of these
overlaid with handsome
gimp, whose color repeats that of the +
dress material, is certainly a great ad- /
dition to the bodice of a tailor-made 4
gown. Leather trimmings decorated
with colored appiques profusely
studded with sequins and colored SPAN
giles are likewise used to form or to .
simulate broad or narrow vest--N.

FELINE MODELS FOR ARTISTS.
How Cats Are Caught and Made to Pose

took felines on his list, and HIS name
has become largely associated with
them of late. Mr.. Laux was found in
his pleasant studio ON Carroll street,
and responded TO the request TO give
some information as TO his methods
of work as follows: II use a large
cage to put my little models in when

that at the end of the month his gas ac-
count may be arranged without haggling
and acrimony.
Never offer TO assist middle aged
man in putting on his overcoat. An old
man needs assistance and a young man
enjoys it very much under certain cir
cumstances, but to middle aged man
it implies encroaching years and is there
fore highly offensive.
If you are host and wish to be ex-
tremely hospitable, do not, after your
guest has his Overcoat fairly on, seek TO
pull down the tail of his undercoat by
reaching up among his suspenders.
Some men are quite sensitive and tic
klish under such circumstances and re-
sent too much hospitality.
In making a call, if you find that
large social is being held at the
house, you may conceal yourself at the
barn until the guests have gone away,
and then you may emerge with some
appropriate witticism.
Where a gentleman calls in his Off
cial character as sheriff of the county d
which one lives, one cannot be too care
ful in returning the call as promptly as
possible. A visiting card or P. P. c.
card sent by mail is not sufficient.
In making a call at strange house,
if you have just lighted an expensiv
cigar, do not ask the footman 70 take
charge Of it while you are making your
call He might be tempted to smoke il
