nerciGL Advertiser, of New York,
which usually speaks with author
ity, has no faith in the reported
engagement given by England and
France to an International confer
ence, and predicts that if such q
conference is held, it will fail. 1t
takes the same view that all silver
men have held for long time. It
says:
The London National ReviesO
makes the announcement that the
American Monetary Commission
will soon present to the British
government a joint appeal from
France and the United States ask
ing for British cooperation in "re-
storing" bimetallism and declaring
"their desire to terminate the dis
astrous experiments inaugurated in
1873" 1t would be well to accept
this statement with considerable
reservation. There is no evidence
that France has taken any official
action toward calling another mon
etary conference. Senator Wolcott
and his colleagues have been hos
pitably received and entertained by
various French statesmen, and
President Faure and Premier Me-
line have assured them of Sym
pathy" with the end they have in
view, but this is all Moreover, the
United States commissioners are
not clothed with authority to "ter-
inmate" any experiments" dis
astrous" or otherwise. Their power
is limited substantially to the ''pro-
noting" of an international con-
ference.
Nor should explicit confidence be
placed in the London National Re-
UGew's statement that "England's
reply will be that the government is
willing to reopen the Indian mints,
to make further substantial con-
tribution to the rehabilitation of
silver by extending its use in Eng
land, by increasing the legal tender
of silver, making silver the basis of
notes, empowering the Bank of
England to use it's silver reserve,
and that material assistance, strong
moral support will be given to the
object the United States and France
have in view" That Great Britain
may be willing TO reopen the Indian
mints under certain conditions
some time in the future is not i'm
possible, but that she will do any
thing to jeopardize the gold STAN
dard which she has maintained now
for practically century is incred-
ible. Mr.. Balfour may talk now
and then about the beauties and
advantages of "bimetallism," but he
is cautious enough not to proceed
beyond talk. With Mr.. Balfour
"bimetallism' is a good deal ike
golf, diversion and fad. Not
long ago he announced in Parlia-
ment that there was little hope the
United Kingdom would "do some
thing for silver" and it is significant
that although he occupies one of
the most powerful positions in that
country, he has taken no official
step in this direction.
Without the aid of Great Britain
and Germany any attempt to estab-
lish an International ratio for the
free coinage of silver as money of
final redemption" is confessedly
doomed to failure, and, inasmuch
as Austria Hungary and Japan only
adopted the gold standard recently
and Russia is steadily preparing to
follow example, it is probable that

had a more troubled infancy than the
tin plate industry. For a long time
1t was the pleasing custom of free

sharp scorn, and even President CleVe-
land and Secretary Carlisle didn't hest
tate to join in the sneering. And yet

than adequate to that purpose, and
had it not been for the labor disputes,
the cessation of British exports in this
respect would have been even more
marked than it is at the present day.
Such testimony as this offsets great
deal of free-trade sneering.

PROOF AGAINST THE TSETSE FLY.
Clearly there must be a brilliant
future before the Irish donkey in South
Africa. Other beasts of burden invari-
ably succumb to the climate; but the
donkey of ireland seems to enjoy it,
and scarcely ever knows what it is to
suffer days Illness in the colony.
In word, he laughs at the tsetse fly
and scorns to yield to any of the annoy
ances, inSectvorouS or otherwise, of
the Dark Continent. In these circum-
stances it is not surprising to hear that
at the present moment there is a.
tremendous boom In the 'moke' market
of the distressful country, buyers re-
presenting English and Dutch syn
dicates purchasing thousands of the
long cared sons of Erin for shipment to
South Africa. In Glare and Limerick
and Tipperary they have already spent
over $4,000 in this way, much to the
satisfaction of native dealers, who are
making handsome profit out of the
business. This seems to promise new
branch of industry to the Irish farmers,

If you wish to live long and be
healthy, wealthy and wise, eat nothing
that you like and very little that you
don't like. 1t now appears that we eat
too much acid food. Dr. w. T. English
of Pittsburg, in a paper read before the
American Medical Association, calls at
tention to the great increase in the use
of acid food that has taken place dur
ing the past quarter of a century. In
the first place, since the enormous in
crease of transportation facilities and
of the preservation of fruit by cold stor-
age. dessication and other methods. We
consume fruit acids all the year round.
In 1885 it required twenty-five carloads
of lemons per week to supply the city
of New York. At present more than
that amount are handled each day. 1t

A suitable wheel suit serves for many
other athletics, and may even be worn
as a small boat rig. 1t is never wise to
wear high laced boots in boat though
as they would seriously add to the dan
gers of tumble overheard. So varied
are the uses to which a wheel suit are
put that many women have several
skirts made for each costume, the skirt
intended for a walking or small boat
being little longer than the comforta-

Even if Secretary Sherman was as
undiplomatic as they say he was in his

Canovas what he said about the Cuban

The death of Canovas, no matter how

apples meet with little sale until they
are made into cider and fermented into
vinegar. Forty thousand tons of GU
cumbers are eaten yearly in the United
States, and afford an excuse for the
employment of one million gallons of
vinegar. Further, the use of mineral
acids and acid-davored drinks has
largely increased.
DR., English doesn't hesitate to say
that these "acidulous habits mark a
stage in civilization" and that the
acid habit fostered and gratified is con-
trary to physiologic law" He says
that 'the alkalis in the bile and pan.
create juice are neutralized and rem
dered of no effect, the alkalinity of the
blood destroyed, which, to insure inn
munity from Infection should be nor
mally alkaline" Further than this, he
declares that an excess of acid food re-
acts on the mind and brain. He adds
that THE intellect is temporarily con-
fused and in some this confusion reach
es out with incoherence of thought and
action. The moral influence of these
perturbed conditions of heart and mind
extends to and perverts the magma
ton, and in extreme cases leaves its
permanent impress"
This is impressive if true. Can it be
that tomatoes are responsible for the
majority report of the board of finance

Women have their own way in Thi-
bet. Miss Taylor, young English
woman who recently returned from
Thibet, and is now gathering mission
airy recruits for that mysterious coun-
try, says the men and women who un-
derstand medicine will be most success
full in that field. The knowledge of
drugs, she adds, among the natives is
almost equal to that of the English
themselves. The position of women,
according to Miss Taylor, is higher in
Thibet than in any other country of the
Orient, save perhaps Mongolia. In
place of polygamy, so common among
the Mahometans, polyandry rules in
Thibet, a woman being married as a
rule to all the brothers of a family.
In consequence of the nomadic charac-
ter of the people, usually only one hus-
band is at home at a time, the others
being absent in more or less distant
parts selling the products of their
lands. Women in Thibet, Miss Taylor
asserts, are never punished-a fact to
which she attributes the saving of her
life on several occasions.

courts, on the ground that it meant
double taxation on wheels, and was,
therefore, unconstitutional. The court,
however, upheld one section which pro-

must carry lights at night. 1t further
declared the power "to regulate the use
of the streets can only be held to au-
