A Strange Nursery.

On the slopes of the Himalayas the
native women have IA most curious plan
ot disposing of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in tho fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work i'll the morning they wrap
their babies i'll swaddling bands, leav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex-
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under ledge of rock from which
water is falling, and by means of -
bamboo the water is made to drip gen
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
or the dripping water is most soothing.
and soon the little ones are all asleep
and remain motionless till taken up by
their mothers on their return from their
work, when they are carried OIL to be
unwrapped, dried and fed.

The Bi,netallic Commission.

It is now definitely known that the
Bimetallic Commission appointed by Pres
ident Mckinley to visit Europe has met
with signal failure and repulse from the
English Government. This Commission
perhaps has accomplished as much as any
Commission could have done. The dis
patches from Europe a few weeks ago
were to the effect that the English
Government had decided to hold u por-
ton of it's reserve in the bank Of England
in silver dollars; that tho limit OF the le-
gal tender qualifications Of silver money
would I've raised, and that the minis of
India would be re-opened to tho coinage
of silver. These propositions are now all
definitely settled i'll the negative and the
English Government has decided that
they will do nothing to further the BIZ
metallic standard. And it is surprising
that any hopes should have been made to
the contrary. Every interest of Great
Britain is opposed to bi-metallisn. A
great money-lending and trading nation
her money standard must he of tho most
stable kind. She claims that the CONNER
clal interests OF the Indian government
alone would 10 paralyzed by the rein
PRODUCTION of silver.
Furthermore, her representatives frank
ly state that in their opinion the task Of
keeping silver at permanent ratio of IL!
to 1.-The ratio proposed by Franco and
agreed to by tho American commissioners,
would be extremely doubtful OF success
1t might be possible were there an inter
national union of tho import countries Of
the world but with any two or three ma
lions unless one of them was Great Britain,
the required stability could net be obtain
cd. ut is certain" say they"that France,
the United States and India could metz
And as it is equally certain that Great
Britain has 10 intention Of lending any
assistance whatever to the bi-metallic
cause, it is needless to add that the mat
ter has received q Knockout blow, Fl ON
which it will take years to recover unless
an unexpected turn of events should lead
England to change her mind.
In brief, the Bi-lnetallic Commission
| has failed, but it has served the purpose
of showing that international bi-metal-
lism is not yet to be expected. Absolute
certainty is worth something at least, and
that has been obtained.
