Clendenin Gabriel Greeley has lately
had a wheel of bells put up at the front
door. This pretty thing is Spanish in
its origin. tits placed over the entrance
door, with the ball and chain at the
right, where a slight pull at this chain
makes the "sweet bells jingle The
wheel is of wrought iron and at the end
Of each spoke is small silver bell.
Sometimes the wheel stands within the
hall--that is, it can be so arranged,
while the chain and ball are suspended
outside the door.
When intended simply as a pretty
piece of house furniture-as a dinner
gong, for instance-the wheel bell is
made of polished white wood, sycamore
perhaps; in the arch which supports
the wheel, blocks of walnut wood alter
nate with the sycamore. The shafts and
capitals are of white wood. The wheel
is of sycamore and carved. The chain of
wrought iron, suspended from the wheel
over a hinged bracket of carved syca-
more, springs from lapis lazuli knob
and the ball at the end of the chain is of
lapis lazuli. The arch shown in the il,
lustration is designed from one in the
mosque at Cordova.-Detroit Free Press

Upon opening our minis to the indie
pendent free coinage of silver foreign
credits would be withdrawn and do
mestic credits would be greatly cur
tailed. More than this there would be
certain and sudden contraction of our
currency by the expulsion of $500, 000,-
900 of gold and our paper and silver cur
rency would instantly and greatly de-
Preciate in purchasing power. But one
result would follow this-enterprise
would be further embarrassed, business
Generalization would be increased, and
still further and serious injury would
be inflicted upon the laborers, the farm
ers, the merchants and all those whose
welfare depends upon a wholesome
commerce.
A change from the present standard
to the low silver standard would cut
down the recOmpense of labor, reduce
the value of the savings in savings
banks and building and loan associa-
tons; salaries and incomes would
shrink; pensions would be cut in two,
the benefciaries of life insurance would
suffer; in short, the injury would be
SO universal and far-reaching that a
radical change can be contemplated
only with the gravest apprehension.
A sound currency defrauds no one.
1t is good alike in the hands of the en-
ploye and the employer, the laborer
and the capitalist. Upon faith in it's
worth, its stability, we go forward
planning for the future. The capitalist
erects his factories, acquires his ma
terials, employs his artisans, mechanics
and laborers. He is confident that his
margin will not be swept away by fuc-
tuations in the currency. The laborer
knows that the money earned by his
toll is as honest as his labor, and that
it is of unquestioned purchasing power

No Ratio Trick VIII Win.

The trick of saying that the sixteen
TO one ratio is not material, which ap-
peared as an afterthought shortly be-
fore Altgeld made his Chicago speech,
will not go. The sixteen to one formula
is in all the silver platforms, with one
or two very recent exceptions, and now
it will not down at the bidding of any
silverite conjurer.
The plan of leaving the question of
ratio to congress will not deceive any
honest money man nor will it satisfy
any silverite who is in dead earnest. To
drop to sixteen to one formula would
offend the silverite rank and file and
send them over in a body to the Separate
silver party or the populists, while it
would not satisfy any sound money
man. A platform demanding free coin
age at thirty to one or any other ratio
would not satisfy any honest money
man.
The Chicago convention must say
either sixteen to one or gold standard.
free silverites nor sound money men can
by any possibility be induced to stand
on such uncertain ground.
This money question has been vexing
the business public, holding all indus
tries in terror and suppressing all enter
prise altogether too long. 1t is high
time to have it settled and settled with
such a profound thud that no dema-
gogue will think of bringing it out
again with intent to befuddle and be-
fool the people for whole half century
TO come. 1t is time for this generation
to have done with this distracting
iunacy and settle down to solid business.

Che mother-in-law, has something to
do with the case, since it is rigidly en-
forced law that the mother of mans
wife never dare show her face to her
son-in-law. Although in the case OF
marriage q young Matabele girl is the
property of her father, to be disposed Of
to the sutton who can offer the greatest
number of cattle, goats or other prop
erty in exchange for her hand, she has
a voice in the matter, and can reject or
accept as the humor suits her. This
is a privilege rarely If ever denied her;
in fact, it is looked upon with a sort OF
superstitious respect which enables the
women to keep quiet upper hand, SO
to speak. On the other hand, girl
will, in nine cases out of ten, yield to
the wishes of her father, and marry
whomever he may select, without troub-
ling herself over those complex ques-
tons of heart-affinities, marriages pre-
ordained by Heaven, and kindred-soul
business, which so agitate the peace of
mind of her civilized sister.
But the Matabele girl is not devoid
of sentiment; on the contrary, she has
the greatest pride in the exploits of
the man she marries. He may be old,
toothless, with one leg in the grave,
and the other feebly tripping a war
dance, but if he can show on his asse-
gal the blood of many victims, he is
the greatest old beau in the kraal, with
not one, but score of tender young
damsels ready to fly to his arms and
become the most docile of wives and
obedient of slaves, toiling early and
late in the fields and tending the cattle
to enrich him that he may revel in
uxuala (beer) and sit in council with
the king.

THE FRETFUL ONES.
Wives Who Are by Nature Omitted to
Make Happy Homes.

--EFS
There Is the wife Who Is stunned and
miserable because she discovers that
marriage Is not lasting picnic; who
cannot realize that her husband must
be different from the lover; and spends
her days in impotent whining. She is
always being neglected, and always TAX
ing offense; she has an Unsuitable crav-
ing for attentions, and needs continual
assurances of affection, wasting her
time and feelings in getting up pa
thetic scenes of accusation, which final
ly weary and then ALLEVIATE her hus-
band. Her own fault! There is moth
ing a man hates more than a woman
going sobbing and complaining about
the house with red eyes unless it be a
woman with whom he must live in a
perpetual FOOLS paradise of perfection.
There are also disconnected wives
who goad their husbands into eXtraya-
giant expenditure and urge them to
projects from which they would nat
urally recoil. There are others whose
social ambitions slay their domestic
ones, and who strain every nerve, in
season and out of season, and lose all
their self-respect for few crumbs of
contemptuous patronage from some
person Of greater wealth than their
own. Some wives fret if they have no
children, others just as much If chill
dren come. In the first case they are
disappointed; in the second incon-
venienced, and in both disconnected.
Some lead themselves and others
wretched lives because they have not
three times as many servants as are
necessary; q still greater number be-
cause they cannot compass life of
constant amusement and excitement.-l
