AS Small is doubtless aware of the death

Ii You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy Bicycle, don't do so I'M
til you first know it were wise to give
OURS the "go by Why we sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler" Columbia" and
''Stearns" are known to every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
"Stearns" this time, as the lot Of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia"
and you do not want to hear about
wheel you cannot see, so we will tell
you about them when they get here.
But if you want a pretty mount, some
thing up to date, come in and see our
'97 Columbus" and "Ramblers;" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
to be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (44 BIZ
cyclesson the Australia" when she gets
here on March Goth, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our "Columbias" this year, as well
as our "Ramblers," are fitted with the
well-known G. & ]. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen.
uine G. & ]. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G. & j. tire is sold by the
Rambler" Agency here, and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G. & ]. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know.
Points of interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias," the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies'
"Ramblers;;" in fact, you will find lots
to interest you, and you are welcome to
examine any wheel to your hearts con-
tent, even if you have no idea of buy
ing. We have just added largely to
our stock of sundries-such as Lamps,
Bells, Luggage Carriers, Bike Stands,
Enamels, etc.-and we can fit you out
with about anything you need.

Proposes Alloy Coin of Gold and
silver.

PROPOSES Alloy Coin of Gold and
silver.
MR.. EDITOR:-As man early learns to
covet gold and silver, he would give
other commodities for these metals, and
again might be induced to part with
tbap in exchange for some needed thing.
IN This wsv the metals came to be me
,Iiurs of exchange" In the early par
tering stage the metals were treated as
other commodities, but as clvlllzatloh
advanced and governments pecame std,
HE to facilitate exchange, kings would
stamp pieces of metal with their weight
and the seal of the government as attest.
Metal in such pieces Is money: It was
found that the relative value OF tne Two
metals was about 10 1-2 to /; that is, one
mound of gold was worth about HIleSh
and one-half pounds of silver. 80 the
metals were coined ana py law hdus
interchangeable at that ratio. But the
commercial value of the metals varies
in accordance with natural laws OF trade
Though the metal is coined into money,
that does not prevent its being used IN
the arts. If the jeweler wishes gold, he
can obtain ii in money, ana might WISH
to exchange his silver money LOT goa
money Governments have found IL as
useless TO say one pound of gold shall be
worth lust so much silver the world over
as 10 saw one bushel of wheat snail be
worth just so many potatoes the year
round. - -.
L
metals should he used as lawful money,
INIT being unable to regulate their rela-
tive value: some nations employ but one,
in some others where both are used gold
is the standard, and large sums may be
required to be paid in gold, while silver
is a legal tender for small amounts. rms
latter arrangement works an injustice TO
the business man who receives money in
small amounts and has large bills to
nav Receiving silver money, and pos
sibly being required to pay gold, he must
obtain the gold of banks, who thus have
an opportunity of 'cornering' the mer-
chant by 'cornering'' gold. To employ
other of legitimate market. The use of
metal as money gives it a market
which il otherwise would not enjoy, and
by creating a greater demand increases
Its value. As both gold and silver are
natural money metals, each should have
the privilege of coinage in civilized ma
tons.
1t being impossible to keep the relative
value of the two metals uniformly the
same, vet desiring to use both as money,
the right way for the nations to settle
the matter is to make an alloy of the
two metals, the proportion of the metals
in the alloy 10 be nearly as found on the
market at the present time. a double
standard" of this kind would have an ad-
vantage similar to that gained by using
two metals in a pendulum. The standard
of value, then, might be a coin consisting
of four hundred Troy grains of silver and
twenty-five grains of gold. This would
be in the ratio of Is to l, and with the
addition of a baser metal for hardening
would make a coin of not inconvenient
size, in value about two dollars United
States money. Or the standard coin
could be of twenty-five grains weight

ABOUT BIKES.

An ex-dealer in wheels is
credited with saving, "a man
can buy one of fifty bicycles
and not make a mistake"
What he meant to infer was,
that the material from which
the Black Manufacturing
Company constructs the Tri-
bune bicycles is so uni
formly perfect; that the
workmanship is of such a
superior character, that out
of fifty wheels, one is as
good as another.
The 81 model Tribune has
three Improvements over
those of 'o6. The upper
frame tubing is constructed
of II-8 inch steel and the
seat post is one inch tubular,
and is secured by a clasp.
The advantages of these
changes are manifest to ev-
ery rider of a wheel. The
sprocket chain has a recently
patented Improvement own
ed by the Black Company,
and not found on any other
wheel, and the pedal shank
is made longer than before,
an improvement easily re-
cognized.

Proper Way TO Roast Ducks and Geese.
prime ducks must be fat and
young, the lower part Of the legs
and webbing Of the feet soft and the
under bill sufficiently soft to break
easily" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in
her cooking lesson on 1.-THE Cooking
Of Poultry" in The Ladies' Home
Journal. 1.-THE usual rules for roast
ing and baking will apply to ducks
and geese. They contain, however,
much more fat than either turkeys
or chickens. This, melting while
they are roasting, may be saved for
frying purposes and used in place Of
butter. Instead of using bread
crumbs as dressing for ducks; or
geese, use potato. For a medium
sized duck allow four good sized po-
tatoes or two cupfuls Of mashed po-
tatoes. While the potatoes are bot
and light addto them p cupof chop
ped English walnuts, a teaspoonfdl
Of salt, half a cup of chopped celery
and a saltspoonful Of pepper. When
thoroughly mixed, put the dressing
into the duck o. goose, sew up the
vent, and it is ready to roast. The
peculiar flavor impaired by the eel
ery IN the roasting gives a tame
duck much the flavor pf 2 wild one.
One Of the choice dishes among Ger
man-American people is goose
stuffed with sauerkraut. The sauer-
kraut is washed thoroughly and
soaked overnight in cold water,
then stuffed into the goose, the
goose trussed and cooked slowly"
