They say we cannot go IL alone.
Do you want to 60 1t alone on gold any
longer There Is nothing TO fear by the re-
monetiEation of oliver. When @ great gov
eminent like the United States throws it's
minis open TO silver and says TO the world,
1--WE have established blmetallism, and
any one can bring Six grains OF silver or
23. 22 grains Of gold 20 our minis and coin
them respectively into dollars" then no
one is going to take less than dollar for
that quantity of silver. Neither will the
foreigner part with his silver for less than
a dollar. WhyP because" be reasons,
II can take my silver TO the United States
and coin it into money, have 1t handed
back to me as such and exchange It for
anything they have in that country, and
they have everything that man needs. :"
He therefore refuses to exchange his sill
yer for gold except at par, less cost Of send

the lesser nations cannot do it, as they
have not the exportable wealth we have
here in the United States.
But 1t is said, "The world will unload
it's silver on u.s." Suppose it does. How
would they do itf Give 1t to usi No. 1t

The Docks OF Liverpool.

I No description can convey an adequate
Impression Of tho vastness of tho Liverpool
docks, OF their cyclopean architecture, Of
their gigantic trade. Liverpool, as city,
has claims to admiration-claims that arc
seldom duly honorcd by the multitudcs
who hasten through it ON their way into
or out of England. Still there are other
cities more beautiful, more imposing 1t
is the labor Of Aid. Philip Rathbonc's life
to make 1t the Venice of the north, and q
Rathbone the son of tho man who laid the
foundation stone of Elme's magnificent
st. Georges hall, may do much In Liver
pool. The time has not yet como, how
ever, when Liverpool requires Ruskin.
But If passers may be forgiven for ignor-
ing the city-or tho "good old town." as
1t used to be atfcctionately styled-they are
TO be pitied If they do not mako full use of
the opportunity OF seeing and studying tho
most splendid dock system In the world.
In the olden world the marvels of con-
struction were tho palaces, temples, amphi-
theaters. The wonders today Is making,
to leave for tho admiration OF the touring
New Zealander, are bridges, viaducts,
canals, docks. 1t Ia the err of commerce.

and degenerate posterity gaze on tho
mighty ruins of the Liverpool docks with
a reverance akin to that with which we
cape at Baalbec, the Coliseum, the me-
dimval cnthedrals and castles, the Athe-
nian Acropolis, the pyramids.
In all the locks, docks and basins have
quay space Of near 26 miles, in addition
to which Birkenhcad boasts 8 miles more,

English Ship Names.

The naming Of ships is one of the
difficulties that the admiralty overcome
by using the old names over and over
again. To adopt new name into the
navy seriously interferes with the serv-
ice signal books
The old names are in the code, and
are as convenient for the ships of today
as for those Of Nelson's time But the
introduction of a new name necessitates
an alteration in all the books. That il
why the old names survive generation
after generation. World.

improve tie roads. General NORM of
France is authority for the statement
that tho deterioration of common roads,

OF horses feet and one third due to the
wheels Of vehicles. This being tho case,

then the amount spent will go to in

how any mechanic could spend years of

His NJ usicaI Choice,

"Eothen" Kinglake was great friend
of Nine Olga de Novikoff during her
sojourn in England, where one feature
of her entertainments was afternoon
musicals to which mono but dilettanti
were invited. On one occasion kinglake
presented himself, and rs an intimate of
the house was admitted. He retired TO u
corner and listened attentively Madame
was surprised, but pleased, and ap.
preaching him said: (Which order Of
music do You prefer, my friend-classic,
Italian or the Wagnerian school? fancy
you do not know our great Glinka?"
II assuredly am fond of music" he an
swered, "but my taste is perhaps pc
culiar. AS an instrument prefer the
drum" Madame took measures to pre-
vent his being admitted to these assem-
blies again.

Should Plays he Printed2

Moliere objected to the printing of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted on the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
the closet 1t was also inferred that
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Molicre, seeing how Indifferent he
was as to the fate of his plays so long as
they were popular on the stage There
is also the explicit declaration of Hey
wood in the following terms:
1t hath been no custom in me of all
other men courteous readers) to COM
NIT my plays to the press. The reason,
though some may attribute to my own
insufficiency, I had rather subscribe in
that to their severe censuro than by
seeking TO avoid the imputation of weak
ness to incur greater suspicion Of hon
esty, for, though some have used dou-
Bile sale Of their labors first to the stage
and after to the press, here proclaim
myself ever faithful to the first and
never guilty of the last"
The author of the most successful
comedy of modern times exhibited the
Same indifference to, or rather dislike
of, the printer. When 1.-The School For
Scandal" met with so brilliant n recep-
ton. from its first appearance on May
s, 1777, Ridgway, the publisher, agreed
with Sheridan us to its publication, but
he never succeeded in getting the manu-
script. lie applied to the author in vain,
and at length got an answer Sheridan
said that he had been 10 years endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself with the style of
the play, but had not yet succeeded
The printing of the play was done in
dependently of the author. He presented
manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin. to be
disposed Of for her own advantage to the
managers Of the Dublin theater. This
brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the
manuscript thus procured that the Dub
lin edition was printed. Notes and
