BRITONs AND BIMETALLIsM.
The Capitalists Opposed to an Inter-
national Conference.

London, July PA definite answer is
expected from the British government
within the next few days to the proposal
OF the United States and France for a BIZ
metallic conference. The Nnited States
bimetallic commissioners are confident that
the invitation win be accepted, but the
movement meets with the solid opposition
OF British capitalists who argue that the
British financial system is satisfactory.
and that the government should not be
called upon to assist other governments
that may be In distress. The only argu-
ment which weighs with them IN favor OF
a conference Is the fear that unless inter-
national action Is taken for the coinage OF
silver the free silver party will succeed IN
the United States and bring on financial
panic IN which British investments would
suffer.

Word Puzzled the Typewriter.


According to the Washington Star,
one morning recently the representa-
tive came into his Office with smiling
cold in his head and the first letter he
dictated was to his wife at home-a
delight, by the way, he INDUCED in
every day. whatever may be said Of
congressman in general-in which he
told her that owing to the fact that
he had slept the night before in a
draught and the wind had blown
through his pajamas he had caught a
pretty severe cold. The word "paja-
mas" was new one for the typewriter
Ind he stalled at it.
"How do you spell that word, STRIP
be inquired.
"P-a-j-a-m-a-s," spelled the repre-
sentative slowly, and added: Didn't
you ever have to write it before?"
mo, sir"
I'm that case, I'll bet you a dollar
you don't know what it means"
Il don't bet, SIR" he hesitated. "but
guess I know what it means"
"Well, what is it?"
Its French for whiskers," and the
representative, in the kindness of his
heart, smiled sweetly and told the
young man he had guessed it the very
first time.

The admiral chuckled. "You are like
one OF these monographs, Walker"
said he; you have had all this talked
into you, and now you are Keeling Z, or
again. It's rank mutiny, every word Of
1t. for man has his duties and woman
mas hers. but they are as separate as
their natures are. I suppose that we

well. you have woman on the
throne taking command Of the whole
nation" remarked his wife; "and every
body is agreed that she does It better
than any Of the men,"
The admiral was somewhat staggered
by this home thrust. That's quite an.
other thing" said he.
You should come to theit next meet
Ing. am to take the chair. I have Just
promised Mrs. Westmacott that I will
90 so. But 1t has turned chilly, and it

The old sailor looked after his friend
with a twinkle In his eyes.
How old is he, mother?"
"About fifty. think"
"And Mrs. Westmacott?"
II heard that she was forty-three."
The admiral rubbed his hands, and
shook with amusement. "We'll find one

one," said he. "Tll bet you a new bon

Some Of tho Things Deposited Under

The foundation stone of the new mu-

collection of Egyptian antiquities now
at Gizeh. was laid on the LIST inst. by
the khedive, the ceremony being at
tended by the ministers, high officials,
diplomatic corps and few invited
European residents, says Cairo cor
respondent of the London Times. An
Egyptian monolith Golfer of the
twelfth dynasty, about $500 B. c., was
used to hold q box containing the fol-
lowing objects: 1.-THE proces-verbal Of
the ceremony in French and Arabic; an
account of the finding of the Golfer;
bronze medallion portrait of the khe-
dive bearing on the reverse the names

an ivory meter measure, copy Of the
building specifications, and copies Of
native and European journals publish
ed at Cairo. The ornamental design of
the proces-verbal represented two py-
Ions on which, after the names of
Champollion and Marietta, inscribed
as the chiefs among Psychologists,
were those of Rosellini, Nestor THote,

The only English names inscribed on
the document were those of Birch and

PASSING OF FAST DAY.
Will Soon BE Entirely Abolished In
New England.

will Soon BE Entirely Abolished In
New England.
1t is evident that the time is near
at hand when fast day will have become
thing of the past throughout New
England, says the Boston Transcript.
A very significant indication of the
trend Of popular feeling in regard to
the annual fast day observance was
shown in the determined action of
President Tucker of Dartmouth college
in announcing that the college routine
would take its usual course on Thurs
day, the day appointed for fast day,
under protest, by the governor of New
Hampshire. President Tucker says he
abominates religious farce and that
he agrees with Gov. Ramsdell that fast
day should be abolished. Fast day is a
remnant of the otherwise extinct SUI
premacy of church over state in things
which do not properly belong under
the formers charge. Within the last
generation immense changes have come
over the religious community in the
eastern states by the growth of the
Episcopalian element, the great influx
of Catholics, and the liberalizing of all
protestant denominations, not except
ing the Trinitarian congregational
body, which in many respects, espe-
cially as to form of worship, approxi-
mates wonderfully close to the prelatic-
al body which it was at one time it's
cardinal article Of faith to abhor.
Fast day would have been abolished
years ago had men dared to act up to
their convictions. But: too many of us
are apt to be guided in our public acts
by what we believe are other mems
convictions. perhaps because of the
fact that other men are in the majority
and their convictions must, therefore.
be respected out of policy, if for no
higher consideration. But the time is
now at hand when the example of Mas
sachusetts will be followed and when
fast day, having long been but living
corpse, will be buried out of sight in
every part of New England.

Some writer has produced a poem
called Sounds from the Sanctum." It
reads prettily and gives rise to the
thought that the author never visited
the sanctum when business was in
full swing. II he had called about
midnight, for instance, he would have
seen two men-one porting over a
proof slip, the other holding the copy.
and the sounds would have been
something like this:
Proof Reader-"As flowers without
the sunshine fair-commawithout you
comma do I-commabreathe dark
and dismal-mair-"
Copy Holder-''Thunder! not MAR
air."
Proof Reader-"1 breathe a dark
and dismal air-comma of flowers
comma"
Copy Holder-"Shoot the comma"
Proof Reader" IT'S done. AS bow
ers without the sunshine fair-semi-
colon-confound slug seven, he never
justifies his lines-no joy in ife-com-
ma-no worms"
Copy Holder-"Warmth."
Proof Reader-".No warmth I share
-comma-and health and vigorous
flies"
Copy Holder-"Health and vigor
fly"
Proof Reader-"Health and vigor
fly-full STOP"
That's about the sound of 1t whcp
the poetry is on deck.-Tit-Bits.

What to Gall Them.

A short time ago lat the Liverpool co.
losseum, an institution where poor chill
dren get free meals, a we'll known hui
morist gave one of his entertainments
to the "colly kids" as the youngsters
are called. At the close of the enter.
tainment the chairman proposed vote
of thanks to the entertainer, Who in
responding said: 'Mr. Chairman and
colly kids"
At this the chairman remarked, in
an amusing manner, that "the girls
didn't like being called colly kids"
The other gentleman then asked
what he should call the girls, and lad
of 6 years yelled out from the back
row: Call 'em colly flowers. sir."-Au,
