Crowns Are Cheap.

Birmingham, England, manufac-
lures not only the gods for various
aces, but the crowns for their kings.
While a great many of Tbs gods are
cheap affairs, some are rather costly
and artistic in design. Crowns range
in price from five to five hundred dol
lars. There is a slight falling off in
the demand for crowns, however, since
SO many savage kings have taken n
fancy to the silk hat and wear it on
state occasions in lieu of crown. The
cheapest rowns t truly gorgeous,
being decorated with diamonds and
other precious stones, all of glass. ION
one OCCASION" says an English trav-
eler, "when l was out in Africa | saw
no fewer than 20 small chiefs with
crowns of this kind upon their heads
and a remarkable body OF men they
looked. One Of them decorated his
royal person by wearing a pair of trous-
crs as a coat, while u pair of old CATERS
were the only articles of clothing upon
his legs."-Chicago Tribune.

"By gol." He was green-very green
in looks. He walked into an uptown sa-
loon hat is known to be the resort OF
a few sure-thing men, and, ambling up
to the bar, laid down ten cents and
said:

The three young men at the end of the
bar about that time were seized with
an uncomfortable desire to play poker
and invited the stranger to take u hand.

He laid $10.1S on the table and the game

A Tea Shon In China.

The tea shop is an important institu-
ton in China. 1t serves as a news
depot, where the people gather to hear
h news of the day; as a business
house, where men buy and sell and dis
cuss the commercial interests of the
country, and as a place of pleasure and
general resort. If two men get into a
quarrel on the street, one is apt to
drag the other to a tea shop and drink
tea at his expense while they settle
the matter between them. The strong
er does the dragging and the weaker
the treating. The shop is a large open
room in a central and popular portion
of the city, and small, square tables
and low, narrow benches constitute
the furniture. A covered cup con-
tanning a pinch of tea leaves is placed
before each tea-drinker and it is filled
and refilled with hot water as desired.
A nan may drink this sugarless liquid
all the afternoon with his companion
and on settling the bill he will find
that he is only about two cents poorer.
/ asked my Shanghai friend as we stood
in one of these shops and listened to the
d~iscordant screams of the patrons of
the institution what was the cause of
this utter confusion. Each man wants
more hot water" was his reply, as he
pitied my ignorance of the ways of
polite society in these parts.-Shanghai

New Woman Is Happy in surmah.

Burmah would be a paradise for the
new woman if she could be induced to
emigrate there. The Burmese women
are, according to a recent writer, the
freest on earth. Men and women are
equal. Both share inheritances alike,
and women, like men, inherit absolute
ly. No trustees stand between a woman
and her property, and when she marries
no transfer is made. She keeps her own
property, her husband his. She does
not sacrifice her family name in mar
riage. Property acquired with her hus-
band is held jointly in a legal partner
ship. Burmese women go into business
just as men do. When marriage occurs,
the woman will go on with her trade,
the man with his.-Chicago Tribune.

New Apparatus Which Will Conserve the

New Apparatus Which Will Conserve the
Health of Operatives.
Tt is a rule of many, if not oil, insur-
ance companies, in taking a risk upon a
woodworking shop, that the fine dust
which accumulates in great quantities
upon the beams and joists overhead and
elsewhere shall be periodically re-
moved. They must be kept clean. 1t
has been shown by experience that this
dust develops explosive qualities to al
most as great an extent as that of -four
mills. BY ordinary methods the re-
moval is attained with considerable la
Dor, and in proportion to the amount of
labor is apt to be the degree of neglect.
At the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee
railroad shops at Fort Madison, Ia,
compressed air Is made to perform the
task with but little work. Air pipes are
run through the building overhead, and
at intervals they are provided with fit
tings for the attachment of hose. Once
a week a man is detailed who goes aloft
and blows the air into every ~crevice and
over every exposed surface. AS a result
the timbers become as clean and as free
from dust as if the building had but just
been completed. The improvement in
appearance alone ought to be worth the
trifing expenditure. The practice af-
fords another and a very neat illustra-
ton of the many possibilities of COM
pressed air service.-Railway Age.

The plaifits of the popocratic press o

The plaifits of the popocratic press OF
Colorado with reference to the paralyzed
condition of the silver industry of that
state resulting from the repeal of the
Sherman act in '93, have been largely
overdrawn, and are manifestly mis-
leading as shown by the amount of
silver still being produced within its
limits. During the year of 1892, when
that industry was in the zenith Of it's
prosperity, before the heavy decline in
the market value of silver, which oc-
Cured in the summer Of the year fol
lowing, that state produced little over
26 million ounces. In 1898, the year of
the so-called collapse" the production
did not fall below 26 million ounces.
In the year 1894 more than % million
ounces were produced, and last year the
product was nearly Is million ounces.
While there has been a decrease in the
production, due to the restricted de-
mand for the product, the paralysis Of
which they so loudly complain is by no
means as serious as their dolorous
lamentations would indicate. The sill
yer mine owners Of Colorado, as we'll as
those of other states, should take on
renewed courage now that the party
that has been responsible for all the
favorable silver legislation in the his
tory of the nation, is decreed to come
again to the front, and who may be
confidently relied upon to do everything
that can be safely done In the interest
of this important industry.

------------
Policy of the SflYerites.

Congressman Shaffroth, Of Colorado,
on his arrival in Washington, gave out
that he had conference with Senator
Teller and reached an agreement as to
the policy which the silver extremists
will follow in congress, says the Mime
apolis Tribune. They will not permit
the Dingley bill to become law at this
session, if they can help it, and will
oppose the passage of any tariff measure.
But in the next congress. after McKin-
ley becomes president, they will not
stand in the way Of tariff legislation.
Their point is that they want to hold
the republicans responsible for tariff
legislation. They say that if the Ding.
ley bill should pass and become law
through the action or non-action OF
President Cleveland, and it failed to
restore prosperity, the republicans could
deny responsibility for it. They could
claim that it was not a republican, but
only compromise measure. There is
some shrewdness in this proposition,
and it ought to suit the republicans.
The fact is, that the Dineley bill, while
it might do some good, could not restore
the measure of prosperity that the
country wants. 1t would strengthen
the revenues and might bring a small
measure of prosperity, but it would not
be broad, sweeping, universal, republi-
can prosperity. Only a republican
tariff law, with specific in place of ad
valorem duties, and keynote of pro.
lection to American industry, coupled
with reciprocity running through it, car
do that. If the silverites will refrain
from obsiructing tariff legislation in the
Fifty. fifth congress, all will be plain
sailing, and President Mckinley can
s4.l IN extra session IN III. fall sssur.
ance that the needed republican tariff
legislation can be effectuated.
