losses be In the increased cost of non-competing
imports. the diminished receipts from exports or in
the fluctuations of exchange.
The desrabity and advantages Of an Internal
tonal agreement on fixed coinage ratio between
gold and silver are briefly discussed and the sug-
geston is made that the fact that the great manu-
featuring countries OF Europe, especially Great
Britain. be the first feel the new compe-
ttion of Japan and other Oriental countries may
and probably will cause those countries to seek a
remedy in an international coinage agreement
sufficiently extensive to establish common none
tary standard throughout the world. In conclusion
the report says:
Until such international action be secured
the interests of our foreign trade as well as Of
should maintain the monetary standard on which
ii has stood for more than sixty years, barring the
War and Reconstruction period from 1851 to 1872
when we were on appreciated paper standard,
which is the standard Of the great commercial ma
lions which buy 20 per cent OF our exports. Much
Is often said Of the extent OF the populations Of
the world who have silver and copper as their sole
metallic money, but 1t should be borne In mind that
the lesser populations of the gold standard coun-
tries OF the earth. the countries in which silver Is
used so as to equal gold In value. are the great
traders and consumers OF the world Indeed in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1880 81 per cent OF our
foreign trade was with gold standard countries, I
per cent with deprecated paper standard coun-
tries, and only . per cent with silver standard
countries. In the mean time our defence against

CLOVER FOR THE DAIRY.

Glover should be grown by all dairy
men, and fed either as q sOiling crop,
pasture, hay, or silage, it reduces by
SO much the cost of purchased proteins
in the form of bran, oil meal, etc One
of the great features of the clover
plant is it's power Of gathering nitro
gen from unseen sources, and not only
supplying its own needs, but leaving
behind a great per centage of nitro
gen in the soil to benefit the succeed
ing crop. Glover Is of great manurial
value to the dairy farmers, for aside
from it's great feeding power fully so
per cent. Of it's original nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash are left in the
eXcrement of the animal. If water
tight cutters and absorbents are EN-
ployed, this will be saved to go back
upon the soil; there to be added to n
large per centage of the same elements
found in the roots and mulch left in
and on the ground after the clover is
removed as hay. All sorts of legumes
are being tried as a substitute for clo-
yer, but in each and every case they
prove to be only helps to bridge over an
accident or drouth, or afford quick
soiling cron. AS the dairyman looks
for a better and cheaper food for his
stock he cannot neglect clover, but in
every way should grow more of 1t both
in acreage and amount per acre.-Col-

Miserable italy.

From hygienic standpoint, Italy is
probably the worst off among oil the
civilized nations. According to sta
tistics, collected and published by Pro
fessor Bodil, who furnishes authentic
figures covering The entire Italian
monarchy, there are among the S,254
communities of Italy 1,454 which have
water of bad quality or insufficient
quantity. More than one-half of all the
communities, or 4.S77, have no drain
age, and refuse matter is simply
thrown into the street. The condition
Of homes are also very bad In Italy, as
in no other country of Europe arc
there so many people living In cellars
or easements. In 37,203 tenements sit
uated below ground, more than 1OO,-
600 Italians live, eat and sleep In
LOO villages of Italy, bread is not used
rs food, mush Of corn, called polenta
taking it's place. Corn being frequent
ly sold in detOriorated condition causes
many cases Of sellagra, sickness Pc
culiar to maize-eating people, which an
nually causes 1000 deaths in the prov
ihceS VI NeHetid anu LOlnDaruy. IL IL
estimated that more than 100000
cases of dellagra occur annually in
these provinces. In 4,965 commune
ties of Italy meat is not eaten, and can
only be obtained from nearby towns,
since meat is so dear that the poor peo-
pie of Italy cannot afford it. Three
hundred and sixty-six communities
have not even a cemetery, their dead
being buried In the churches, for they
are too poor to purchase ground for
burying purposes. Fourteen hundred
and thirty-seven villages have no phys
ician, n condition which is simply
dreadful, for one-third of the entire
area Of Italy is subject to malarial fe-
vers during one-half Of the year.

A Dog Detective.

Danger, the dog detective of the
Lake Shore and Nickel Plate Railroad
companies and the terror Of tramps and
evil-dOers, is no more.
Danger was the comrade Of Special
Waterman Leopold Nagoski Of the
Nickel Plate Railroad, whose shanty
stands IN the midst of the Lake Shore
tracks at Seventeenth street. The dog
and his master were crossing the Santa
Fc tracks early yesterday morning
when cat ventured in Dangers path.
The dog chased the cat and did not no.
tice an approaching passenger train.
He was run over and killed, and every
Waterman about the railroad yards in
the vicinity is in mourning. Dangers
master buried him last night near the
shanty, with coupling pin and link
to mark his grave.
Dangers entry into the railroad
Waterman business occurred about
rescued him from a crowd of wicked
boys who had tied tin can to his tail
and chased him on the tracks at Eight
eenth street. The old Waterman took
the can off the dogs tail, invited the
brute into the shanty, and ever since
the dog has been Nagoski's faithful
servant and companion.
1t is said that Danger was worth a
dozen men In ferIeting out the tramps
and thieves who infest the railroad
yards at night, and since Waterman
Nagoski found the dog there has not
been car seal broken in the Nickel
Plate or Lake Shore yards. Danger
lived on the fat Of the land, and was
the pet of all the dining car chefs
about the yards.
Danger was not pretty beast, but
he was a wise one, said a crossing man
this morning. "He knew more than
a great many men do, and he will be
badly missed. News.

Facts About Shoes.

The Portuguese shoe has a wooden
sole and heel, with n vamp made of
patent leather, fancifully showing the
flesh side of the skin. The Persian
footgear is a raised shoe, and is often
a foot high. 1t is made of light wood,
richly inlaid, with q strap extending
over the instep. The MuscOvite shoe
Is hand-woven, on wooden frame,
and but little attention is paid to the
shape of the foot. Leather Is some
times used, but the sandal Is gener-
ally made Of silk cortlage and wooden
cloth. The Siamese shoe has the form
of an ancient canoe, with a gondola
bow and an open toe. The sole is
made of wood and the upper of inlaid
wood and cloth, and the exterior is
deliberately ornamented in colors, with
gold and silver. The sandal worn by
the Egyptians is composed of a sole
made by sticking together three thick
nesses of leather. This Is held to the
foot by passing a band across the in
step. The sandal Is beautifully
stitched with threads of different col
ors.
