the glass and carrying the ends to meet
six inches above the top, where they
are tied in a bow.
Out of stiff, white cardboard cut a
small circle, four inches in diameter,
and notch the edge. Cut an opening in
the center to fit the small glass, and
slip over, letting it rest upon the edges
of ribbon which form the holder. Now
gather frill of silk and lace, similar
to the one described about the pin
cushion, and fasten it above the circle Of
Cardboard where it will fare out pref

The fad for denim seems to outlast
all others, chiefly because it has proved
so useful and durable. Whole rooms are
furnished in denim-cushions, table
covers, portieres-are made of this ma
terial, and it is even used on the floor in
place of carpet. Now that it can be pro-
cured in various colors, all sorts of
pretty things are made of it.

The shorter silver Catechism.

Q. What silver-standard countries
have free coinage? A. Not one. There
is not in all the world mint open to the
free coinage OF silver al any ratio.
Q. Does not Mexico coin all silver
brought to her minis. A. Yes: but she
charges =. IL for each 100 coins, and the
coinage is at 1851 TO /, so that she re-
coins European silver at cost to the
holder OF about 10 per cent, and Ameri-
can silver at cost OF : per cent.
z. Does not India free coin silver?
A. No. The mint was closed three
years ago.
q. Does not Japan coin free? A No
The mint closed some years ago. 1t coins
subsidiary silver on government account.
The currency is Bank OF Japan notes,
1874 600, 600, redeemabl in full legal-ten
der silver coin. These notes correspond
10 our green backs OF 1868, except that
they do not go below 30 per cent. dis
count.
Q. What is the result? A. That the
finances are disorded. There is no Sc
curlty for business. There is no fixed
standard of value. The yen dollar Is
worth 80 cents in gold one day and 81 the
next, as the price fuctuates in the mar
ket, exactly rs our green backs fiuctuated.
q, Is this true of all silver 81 andard
countries? A. 1t is true OF each and all.
There Is not one in which business is not
speculation, because there Is no fixed
standard OF value.
q. What Is meant by "a silver basis?'
\. That the notes issued are redeema bic
IN silver; that silver is the money Of final
redemption.
z. W hat is its practical effect? A. To
drive gold out OF circulation and out
OF use as money, either as currency or as
reserve for redemption, as it is now
used by our banks and by the govern
ment.
z. Is this universal result? A. 1t
Is. There Is not a silver-standard coun-
try in the world in which gold circuIates
or is used as money. The more yaluab BILE
money Is always boarded or sold in spec
ulation as a commodity.
q. Would not the adoption of free sill
yer coinage prove a measure OF contrac-
ton, giving US less money than we have
now? A. 1t would. More than $500
100000 in gold coin and certificates would
be Immediately driven out OF circulation
or use as money. 1t would tax the silver
minting capacity for ten years to make
good this deficiency.
