PUNCTURED THEORY

Yesterday silver fell two and one- half cents an ounce in New York, and the bullion value of the United States silver dollar slid down to 40M cents The indications are that there will be still more decline. Why 1t is likely to go lower Is set forth by a member of the firm of Zimmerman & Forshay, who says: In my opinion the market is bound to go lower The cause of the or less than heavy sale on a weak mar ket. Silver will decline as long as the present conditions prevail. Orders at present in the European market are next to nothing. Silver to-day has very We must therefore look for the inevit- able, which is of course low prices. The market now is weak and very sensitive If the present prices bring in foreign orders prices may be slightly better
  not be surprised at twenty-five-cent silver.
 Yesterday while silver was falling two and one-half cents an ounce in New York wheat was rising five cents bushel in Chicago. Formerly the sil- verites thought such fall in the price of silver and such rise in the price of wheat as have been seen this summer couldn't happen together. But they have happened, and their happening has destroyed one of the chief "hollers' of the silverites. At the present rate of progress there will not be much left for them to talk about by 1900. People are even ceasing to shudder when "the crime of '73' is mentioned.

FASHION NOTES.
For Wet and Dry Exercise.

Even the women who are quickest to take up fanciful notions in dress have returned to reason in bath suits this season. Simplicity and modesty seem to be the rule. Comic opera persons, or those of that sort of taste, may go in for satin suits of brilliant colors, but the average woman knows that satin feels horribly clammy when it is wet:
 that 1t is then shiny in an ugly way. and that it is not a bit lighter to wear and not half so pleasant to the skin as is n1ohair in light weight. Tights made one with an undershirt are a feature of

portions of the fabrics, is the ineendla- ry' In the inquest it was stated that the merit of the hair-wash was that it dried so readily. The hairdresser said he felt the hair warm in his hand, and immediately after that all was envel- oped in flames. The fact that the hair seemed warm to the hand was due, not to the beginning of some kind of spontaneous combustion. It showed merely that the part of the hair touched had quickly become dry. Very slight friction of the hand on the dry hair would suffice to produce an electric spark; and the explosive at mosphere of air mixed with combusti- ble vapor, from the portions of the hair not yet dry, was there. The inquest showed that no gas was burning in the neighborhood, and that no lucifer matches were lying about on the floor Which could have been ignited by be- ing trodden on. A gas-fame within a yard or two of the place would certain ly have been dangerous, but far less apt to produce the disaster than an electric spark from the hair in the very place of greatest liability to the pres ence of an explosive mixture.

AGITATED EDUCATED ONES.

Among the very fine young women who graduated from Vassar in the class of '97 was one who was distin- guished in college for her tact, intelli- gence and refinement and was a great favorite with all her associates who never, it appears, suffered in the slight est degree in body, mind. morals, man. ners, or even in their sensitive or shrinking feelings or silly prejudices from their intimate association with her. Since she has graduated how ever, it has been discovered that she had and has negro blood in her veins :" This discovery has made a stir and some of her classmates don't know now whether they like her or not, and they don't know that she did right in not wearing placard while in college with the announcement on 1t that she wasn't

The Italian sanctuary of the Madon- ma della Salute, at Belluna, near the frontier, is visited at this season by throngs of pilgrims. Of the visitors to the sacred spot the majority are wo- men with little children in their arms. Recently the faithful were inexpressi- bly, shocked to see a score of customs officers bounce upon these devoted wo- men and snatch away, without cere- mony, the infants they held. To the still greater dismay of the onlookers the mothers fled precipitately, instead of defending their offspring. When quiet had been somewhat restored it was discovered that the little creatures were sacks of contraband sugar and coffee carefully dressed up and their heads adorned with dainty beribboned bonnets. More than thirty women were arrested for this manner of attempted smuggling.

Judge Urquhart of Georgetown, D. C., thinks that cat-owners should be com pelled to take out licenses as dog-own- CTS are now. He says: Cats are much more of nuisance in every way than dogs, and are kept in larger numbers, and much more revenue could be se- cured than is received from the dog license tax. There may be some reason for keeping dogs, though I am not sure about it, but there are no reasons what ever for keeping cats. A dog howls now and then at night time during certain changes of the moon, and is to that extent a destroyer of sleep, and thereby nuisance. Cats, however, make ten times the racket that dogs do and seem to keep it up, change of the moon or not As far as hydropho- bia is concerned, cats cause it as fre- quently as do dogs.
