In this age of progress, we are not
content with the plain white, gable
roof house or the house that is overdone
with cheap jigsaw ornamentation. We
want stability and ornamentation to

the eye and to that of our neighbors.

IMPROVED SADDLES.

Some Promising Inventions Which Have
Been Exhibited Recently.
Every wheel manufacturer is con-
stantly on the lookout for a saddle
which has some claim to perfection. 1t
must be admitted that, notwithstand-
ing constant endeavor in this direction,
little progress has been made, and small
hope is held forth that the saddle of
1897 will give anything like universal
satisfaction. One of the latest inven-
tons is in the way of firm and easy
support for the saddle. 1t consists of a
piece of wood about a quarter of an inch
thick, one and half inches wide and
three feet long, curved at one end and
extending back over the rear upright
rod of the wheels frame. The curved
end in front attaches to the frame at

The opinions al agree, rs even tn

a matter of speculation.
The practical difficulty that they sug-
gest about the ratios is one of immense
mp ortance. The present depreciation
of silver is due to two causes, a great
increase IN the supply because of the
opening of our western mines, with a
still greater potential increase, and on
the other hand a great decrease in de-
leading nations. No one is competent to
say, in the present state OF knowledge,
what the true ratio should be under nor
nal demand such as it was before 1873.
If this country crtcrs upon free coinage

finally to be 20 to |, ultimate trouble
can only be averted by recoining at
loss to the government of 20 cents on
every dollar. 1t needs deliberate and
well-considered action by the great ma
lions together to adjust this right.
In fact it all resolves itself to ques-
ton of remedy for what is admittedly "A
