SILVER BONDS.
The Market Price as Compared with Gold
Bonds In MexicO-Silver on the Up
Grada.

The Market Price "a Compared with Gold
Bonds In Mexico-Silver on the Up
Grade.
The San Francisco Bulletin calls at
tention to tie rise of Mexican silver
bonds and makes some excellent points
in so doing 1t says: Mexican silver
5per cent. bonds are quoted in Euro
pean markets at 80 cents. Gold bonds
bearing 6 per cent. interest are 97
cents. In reference to these quotations
the Chronicle considers them an evil
dence of increasing prosperity in
Mexico. If Mexico were not fairly
prosperous her bonds would not ad-
vance in value, but her prosperity does
not account for the narrow margin
between gold and silver bonds If
Mexico were the richest and most pros
porous country in the world her silver
bonds would be paid in silver. AS it
is, she is rich enough to pay her gold
bonds in gold. The extent of cred
itor's resources beyond an ability to
pay his debts does not affect the mar
ket value of his obligations. A multi
millionaire only pays dollar for dollar.
Silver 5 per cents. at 80 cents on the
dollar are but little below gold per
cents. at 81 cents. Mexican silver dol
lars, in which the silver bonds are pay
able, are worth but about "a cents in
the market. Yet the silver bond can
not be valued at less than 80 cents, in
view of the difference of per cent in
the rate of interest between gold and
silver bonds. Whether we are to at
tribute the high price of silver bonds
in Europe to a belief that silver will
soon rise to a par with gold is ques-
ton for financial experts to consider.
Certainly the rise in silver bonds to a
point considerably in excess of the
present value of silver bullion in the
market is at least an indication that
silver is on the up grade"
This leads the Los Angeles Express
to remark that silver is on the up
grade and so is bimetallism, because
recommendation Is illogical and an alb
normal condition of affairs that cannot
last The rise of the Mexican silver
bonds proves also that the country is
progressing materially under silver
currency.

Confetti of Paper Now Takes the Place of
the Traditional Thing.

Confetti of Paper Now Takes the Place of
the Traditional Thing.
Fashions freaks are not always so
unutterably silly as her stern oppo-
nents would have one believe. For in
stance, when she decreed that rice
throwing at weddings was to come 10
an end, she sensibly signed the death
warrant of a barbarous and danger
Gus custom. The foolish practice OBJ
tains now only among those who will
always cling TO custom because il is
n custom. In really fashionable sets
here or abroad it has been agreed that
too much serious damage has been done
to bride and groom by the hard little
grains not to make some substitute
necessary.
In addition, however, TO marriage
bells and festive garments. some out
let seemed needful for the joyous feel
ings the occasion is supposed TO arouse.
And in England paper confetti are hav-
ing quite vogue. These are disks OF
paper about the size of letter wafer
variously colored and stamped in silver
or gold. Armed with cornueopias fun
of these the bridesmaids salute the
happy pair" as they leave the parental
mansion.
1t is easily conceivable what pretty
and effective scene would be made of
this custom, especially as our weddings
run nowadays to a color" \ pink wed
ding with pink cornucopias and pink
confetti stamped in gold would infal
libby have a delicious memory picture
for the guests.
The real confetti of italian carnival
fame are little balls made of starch and
water They We're so constructed as to
break when thrown, and in breaking
scatter the starch powder over the per-
son whom they struck. 1t was often
painful to get these stinging blows on
cheek or neck, and, like the rice, they
are passing out of use.
But the paper confetti is as little like
ly to become really popular as the
rice, for the reason of the mess it makes
when scattered over house and grounds.
Crumpled paper lying about is as ugly
as the aggravating rice grains crunch
ing under the passcr-by's foot. And
the general run of housekeepers, wheth-
er of high or low degree, detest a
''muss. IN. Y. World.

United States from IsGO TO 1891 shows
that while the purchasing power of
currency was 25 per cent lower in 1865
than it was in 1850, yet the currency
wages were so per cent. higher, and
this, be it remembered, was at time
when a gold dollar was worth two and
one-half times as much as the paper
dollar, in which wages were being
paid. 1t follows, therefore, that even
with a greatly deprecated currency
the wage-earner was better off than
he could have been on a gold basis
with but little money in the country.

HIS VIGILANCE REWARDED.
The Story of n Man Who Was Pre- .
pared For F00ipads.
Chicago Timea Herald.

Chicago Times Herald.
There is man in Buena Park who
has always been afraid OF being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he de-.
cided that he would prepare himself
to defend his property and person if
attacked. So lie purchased revolver
not an ordinary revolver, but long
barreled one, the sort the cowboys
carry out West. For several nights
he carried the gun, and the assurance
with which he walked no doubt
frightened the footpads, for they left
him unmolested. He was pleased
with the sense OF security he felt from
the humping OF this weapon against
his leg. and his fears we're quieted un-
til one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery, and he
was picking his way along toward his
home, when a man bumped against
him. The offender was profuse in his
apologies as he struggled to regain his
footho!d.
at was purely accidental, assure
you, sir" said he. Certainly, Ger.
tainly," replied the Buena Park man
ono harm done and they separated.
A moment later he felt for his
watch, it was gone. Then he felt for
his gun; it was safe, and its size and
weight gave him courage. He turned
and started on run in the direction
the man had taken, and before he had
gone block overlook him. He
grabbed him by the collar with his
left hand, and, sticking the pistol in
his face. commanded him to give up
the watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot"
said the trembling man, as he handed
out watch, and, breaking away ran
down the street as fast as his legs
would carry him.
"Ill teach you footpsds u thing or
two," shouted the Buena Park man,
but there was no response, and put
ting the watch in his pocket he started
toward home. At each step he grew
more and more indignant vt the state
OF society that permitted such crimi.
mails rs pick.pockets and footpads, and
when lie reached home he was very
angry.
What makes you look SO fero
cious?" were his wife's first words.
Been held up; fellow took my
watch and got it back again." he said
"What are you talking about
You left your watch at home thi.
morning." said she as she took from
his pocket the watch that belonged tt
the other man.

tising for the owner OF that watch.

A south African C roosus.

There is ono man in Africa whose
wealth exceeds that of any other
known individual. John B. Robinson
is this man. He has the comfortable
sum OF $3.50, 100000. He could buy
the whole output Of gold from all the
mines Of the world for this year, and
still have the neat little sum OF $780,
100000 left to keep the wolf from the
door. An idea of this mans vast
wealth may be realized by this fact.
If his millions were transformed into
$50 gold pieces they would make q
continuous golden chain 27l miles
long. His accumulation of wealth
has been phenomenal. In 1878 he
did not possess enough money to pay
for q meal for himself and wife. He
was absolutely penniless, without
friends or prospects. Mr.. Robinson
had kept a grocery store for several
years in the Orange Free State, but
business was 50 bad that he was run
ming daily into debt. His creditors
finally turned him out penniless and
he and his faithful vile saw starvation
before them. They decided to tramp
to Kimberley, distance OF over 800
miles, hoping to secure work at the
new diamond diggings. Trudging
along one day with his wife, Robinson
picked up a diamond in the rough
weighing sixty carats. This was sold
for 81 200 and since then his gain has
been phenomenal.

LOADED DICE.
An Industry that Once FIOurished
tn a Tennessee Town.

fn Tennessee Town.
Knoxville Journal.
A reporter noticed in a shop win
dow pair of dice. They were inno-
cent looking little white bones, and he
had quite forgotten them when the
proprietor remarked, "Them's
loaded"
What's loaded?"
Why, the dice"
"Oh," the reporter CALCULATED. The
proprietor picked up the dice, and
throwing them on the counter said,
"Come seven," and sure enough seven
came. Some one else pitched them,
and five turned up, but before he
could make another five to gain his
point that fatal seven showed it's face
again, and so it went, the five and the
two making the seven three out of five
shots.
"There are only two men in the
city who can or will load dice" the
proprietor explained.
"Before Jones turned loose on the
gamblers one could get $5 and Sc for
loading a pair of dice, and if the job
was difficult you could get even more
than that, but now So is very good
price. and there is less to do than
there once was at any price.
"These were loaded for a regular
gambling house, and crack shot will
never recognize the iron. To do the
right job requires a good deal of skill
and pains. You bore the eye and
pour in your mercury or beat in your
lead. If you use mercury, it must be
in the form of quicksilver. Mercury
is probably the best, though a tiny
lead shot will answer the purpose of
the ordinary dice. you then take
bit of ivory, and fitting it in the plug
countersink the eye. If the loader
understands his business, there is no
professional who can detect the fraud,
Not to make the weight suspicious
you can bore and leave hollow that
side OF the die from which it is loaded.
Sometimes there is big money in
the business. About year ago, when
dice were the rage with gentlemen OF
the green cloth, party of local gam
blers sent all the way to Colorado for
an expert to come and do their little
trick. He came, and in one night he
and his crowd did one game for $1,000.
The next day he returned to the
Black Hills. That man was once
noted gambler in this city. 1t WAS
about this time that Chief Adkins,
after having made raid ON some no.
torious dive, placed on exhibition a
pair of loaded dice cut in halves.
Speaking Of the price of dice, S. or
$6 is letting them off light. In some
cities where the dice are loaded in q
professional way, not to order, but for
regular sale, dice that without the lead
are worth about so cents with lead
will cost you SIS. But, after all, that
isn't much, for the man who handles
them righ. is soon 'in.'
