Would Issue Certificates Against tho Sill
yer In the Mountains.
When the scckless statesman of Kan
sas first visited New York city, ho went
with Il friend TO tho United States sub
treasury i'll Wall street They were
shown through the vaults in which part
OF the government money Is stored
and finally reached q room in which
thousands of big bags of silver dollars
were piled ceiling high. Locking at the
great heap CT useless metal, the Medicine
Ledge financior turned to the United
States subtroasurer and asked: "Why
could not silver certificates lie issued
just as well Oh the silver in tho hills? If
would save the country all the eepense
OF mining the ore, smelling and l., CHING
1t and coming it into dollars / think it
is Il great waste of labor to dig all that
silver out of one hole and cut it up into
little pieces inst to bring it hero and
dump it down into another hole"
Ridiculous rs is The idea of raper cur
rency based On silver in the rocks. it is
more sensible than the free coinage mt
10 to l plan. The silverites propose to
compel the government to coin into legal
tender dollars all the silver which may
be brought to the mints. AS tho country
has already far more silver dollars than
can be used in business, IL would be nee
essary to Issue certificates which WOULD
pass as currency. So that the govern
ment wonld be practically buying all
the silver offered it Mt price nearly
double its market valne
The silver mino owners and their
agents ridicnled Congressman Simpsons
cheap money scheme. But wild as his
plan was it did not involve the repudia-
ton of just debts or the tebasement of
the standard of value, as did theirs.
Silverites who laugh Mt the notion of
using the Rocky mountains as basis
Tor currency are really condemning
their OWL theory. Sensible people who
believe i'll honest money want neither
certificates based CD silver ore nor on pig
silver. Either would mean II great an.
nuai loss through tho wasteful employ
nent of labor which ought TO be en-
gagged in producing useful articles.

The vertica! system Of penmansbip thu.
Is now puzzling the school trustees Is BY
no means noveit y eveninth The local scboOls-
The System has gradually been engrafung
its way into the schools until 1t Is now
used entirely In preferance tothe old slant
ing style or round hand
It is therefore, not question with
those who preside over the destiny Of the
coming gene whether the letters stand
erect or not but It Is in what manner they
shall stand erect.
The city's educators have come to the
conclusion that vertical letters are prefer
able to slanting But whose vertical let
ters they shall use is the enigma that
half the members of the board have 70
manned awake at night To solve.
MANY SYSTEMS OFFERED.
There are at least five different copy
books TO choose from. II there had not
been SO many perhaps the children would
already know how they were going To
write. AS 1t is they do not at present
know whether the down ward stroke Of
the "a shall stop at the base line when
it gets there or whether 1t shall turn and
run back a space IN n graceful line. They
were tauSile last year iiotu e"e DiacADooiu
alone and the style adopted by tiie re-
spective teachers was their style. 1t is
now proposed to have but one model and
that a COPY book that will be the same in
Anacustia q $ in Georgetown.
One OF the new specimens offered TO the
trustees for their consideration is that Of
the SpeBcerian vertical edition This
resembles most closely the old and gen
orally accepted style OF slaDtiBg pen
manship, differing principally IN the fact
that the letters are strictly perpendicular.
TIE graceful curves Of the old time are
preserved Still. various concessions are
made to speed and brcvity. -'-

ADotter appreciable technicalhy Is the
fact that the tall loop letters are IN no
instance higher than the capital letters.
In i correct practice OF this style of
penInansiip IL is also necessary that the
position OF the paper harmonic with the
new condition OF affairs, and for that
reason II is TO lie placed scuareiy in front
OF the writer. On the other hand, the posi-
tioD OF the writer remains the same as 1t
did under the old style.
He assumes the front" position. The
writer must sit Rear to. but not in contact
with the desk. The tody must he erect
and the feet should rest level ON the floor.
The disposition OF the hand and pen is
precisely the same as that made under
the old fashion.

OF her is the Graphic SYSTEM Its author
is MIR. Edwin Shepard. The differences
between these styles and those already
described are OF a purely technical nature
aud appfeciable only to experts.
AS may be surniised from the foregoing.
the question OF position Of writer. desk and
paper. has been similarly solved by the au-
lhor OF each system. The same cuts and
diagrams are used 10 illust rate this as were
employed in the old copy books. Like for
mer styles OF writing. there are optional
forms for both capitals and small letters
i'll the new.
NEW PENS NEEDED.
The pen maker has kept pace with the
copy book author, too. There are .'verti-
cal'' pens. These differ from tie old in
that they are more flexible and the points
are mol SO fine.
Willie in tie practical affairs of life the
change may not appear to bc a n,omentous
one 10 the minds of the teachers, it is a
grave question. 1t may be safely said,
however. that the vast majority of the in-
structors are advocates OF the new style
1t is claimed for the vertical letters that
they are the most natural OF all. II a
child is left to himself he will construct
his characters straight up and down
1t is argued. further. that under the ad-
vanced style writing is easier and faster.
More words can be written in the saline
space and the writer does not grow tired
as readily as when pursuing the old man.
ner of manufacturing his letters.
The chief opponents OF the new methods.
SO the instructors assert. are those parents
whose ciiiGrcn are in the sixth d nd seventn
grades This generally included lads and
lasses of FROM twelve to fifteen years Of
age. They have begun under the old style,
their parents say, and the introduction OF
the new system renders their chirography y
OF an uncertain nature that makes the char
acters little short OF mere hicroglyphics
1t Is insisted that these pupils should be
permitted to complete inthe ystem In which
they are Just beginning TO grow proficient
and that change would result in nothing
short of miserable handwriting for life.

take it off the side OF the skirt is unbut-

In this they ride to the city limits and there

rest OF the way a comfortable bloomer
