PEOPLE are not going to give much
time or thought to politics during the
next two or three years, says an ex-
change. Most men feel the need of
giving all their energies to repairing
the damage in their business affairs
produced by seven years of hard times.
Besides, it looks as if there would be
no great issues to fight over. The ba-
sis of the currency is not at all likely
to be disturbed by legislation, and the
disposition will be to let the new tariff
alone until experience has shown
whether it is good or bad for general
business and labor interests. If it
turns out to be a good thing, no party
will venture to assail it. No new
questions are looming up on the
horizon OF national politics-Centralia

ADOPTS THE GOLD STAND
ARD.
After Four Years of Investigation Japan
Decides to Discard Silver.

After Four Years of Investigation japan
Decides to Discard Silver.
On March | it was cabled from Yoko-
hama that Japan had decided to adopt
the gold standard at ratio of 32L TO
!, the new standard to go into operation
in October.
This act, on top Of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out of the
ranks of the semi-civilized and into those
Of civilized and progressive nations. 1t
was not taken hastily, but after two
years consideration of an exhaustive re-
port made by the japanese currency
commission, appointed in 1893.
This commission found that while
certain capitalists, especially those en-
ploying many laborers, were benefited
by the falling silver standard, the
wage earners were injured from the
/ fact that their wages did not rise as
fast as did the prices of what they
had to buy. The report pointed out
what every rational trader ought to
know-that silver standard country
can trade and compete with gold stand
ard countries only after paying the loss
ON exchange in foreign trade. However,
as the greater part of Japan's trade was
| with China and India, the two countries
| of Asia still using the silver standard,
the disadvantage on this account was
not considered great.
| The silverites have lost with Japan
some of their best capital. OF course
they will tell us how British gold
was used to bride the government into
betraying its people into the hands Of
the money power. They cannot, how
ever, much longer tell us that we are
unable to compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired Oh
being second rate nation and of work
ing with second rate tools, and, after
careful investigation, concluded to get
rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country as
fast as it can be coined and which re-
suits in the single silver standard, ant
to adopt the gold standard at ratio
with silver which will permit the use O
both metals in her trade. 1t is wis
step. Japan is only one of four or fiv'
nations which have adopted the gol'
standard during the last IS months.

and freedom; but, the conditions pro-
yided, the mothers can be trusted to
know when they should be kept under
shelter and when allowed to play upon
the grass or in the open air.
Miss Robison's own kennels are III the
center of Zig orchard that borders on
lake In winter they are kept warm
with steam. In summer they are pro-
tected from the too hot sun by the over
hanging trees. They are kept scrupu-
lousy clean, and there is little sickness
among the many families they house.
Angoras are delicate, however. and re-
uuire extreme watchfulness.
In Miss Robison's own words, "they
have sensitive natures and must be
studied. My own kittens" she says,
"are all personally known to me. Dur
ing many months am necessarily I'M
able to give them personal attention,
but as they are never sold under y
months of age / find time to know them
all. In my winter home there are al
ways several on hand, and it is curious
to note how they differ in temperament
and tastes. Snowdrop, this pure white
beauty, is my own pet, but there are
others that attach themselves to other
members of the family. They are Singh
larly intelligent and as affectionate as
possible. After the first nine months
they require very little care, but must
always be kept OH a regular diet. Oys-
tiers are extremely dangerous food and,
oddly enough, they love lettuce and
spinach, which green's keep them IN a
healthy state. All cats are clean, but
the Angoras peculiarly so, for which
reason they make desirable pets, and
do most positively assert that raising
them can be made lucrative without any
labor that is either hard or unfit FOL
women to do. At most the only help
required would be good man or boy
for a portion of each day. Personal SUI
pervision and an interest in the WORK
will do more toward success than any
number of hired assistants.

A NEW BUSINESS.
a. Actress Adds to Her Income by Rails
ing Cats.

n AfifCrN A1uS To Ter tnCOlnt Dy
ing Cats.
Miss Bertino Robson, well known to
all theater goers, adds to her profession
OF actress the unique business Of raising
fine breeds Of cats. She declares that
they are remunerative and not overexact-
ing, besides affording perpetual source
of entertainment
Her own venture was largely the re-
suit of accident, but she is inclined to
urge the business as one peculiarly well
suited to women.
Two years ago friend sailing for Eu-
rope left her two pet Angoras in Miss
Robison's care, and from that nucleus
has developed paying business. Fine
cats are always in demand, and the rails
ing of blooded stock has proved that
they as well as dogs can be relied upon
to provide a satisfactory income.
The one essential to success is genuine
affec ton for the animals and an ability
to regard them as individuals, not as a
| mere means of barter. Miss Robson her
| self is an enthusiast and declares that
every one of her kittens has separate
| place in her affections. Some require
| coddling; others stand in need OF some
slight discipline. The successful kennel
keeper must study all these points and
must be in sympathy with her work.
But, given this one quality, all else
should follow as matter of course, and
as each healthy kitten will fetch from
$40 to $25 it is not difficult to estimate
the approximate return from kennels
kept in healthy condition.
AS matter of course, the country is
the only possible place for the rearing
. any number of cats, but small in
closure will provide for many families,
so that the business seems one peculiarly
adapted to women living in the suburbs
or owning small plots of ground. Warm
houses, in which to sleep; inclosed sun
ny spaces, in which to take dainty air.
ings, and free, open space, in which
to run when they are sufficiently strong
are all the material comforts required
To be healthy the kittens must have sur
