REAL PROSPERITY.

The little "stock panic" yesterday re-
lieved a swollen market and at the same
time relieved many venturesome and
confident spectators Of their cash. But
the country Is marching on in real and
growing prosperity. Some foreign tes-
timony is interesting. A competent
critic SAYS in the London Statist con-
corning our condition.: 'Never before
believe, were business conditions so
sound as at present. And a German
industrial journal gives its readers some
food for thought, as follows: The Unit
ed States is essentially ahead; it is only
in the total of imports and exports that
we show greater returns. Its exports
are ahead of ours. In the last fiscal
year the exports Of manufactures
reached 1920, 100000; and, although agri-
cultural products, as usual, were well
represented the increase in the exports
of manufactured articles was consider
able and comparatively greater. The
increase in iron and steel literally bor-
ders on the marvellous. In thirty years.
the value Of these exports has gone
I'D tenfoId. The increase in the exports
of copper wares Is, comparatively, still
greater. The exports of leather and
leather goods more than doubled in the
last ten years. Bicycles, the exports OF
which began only ten years ago, now
almost equal the exports of agricultural
implements, which, in thirty years, IN
creased upwards of tenfold, and in the
last ten years threefold. The falling off
in the sugar exports is not to be put
down to decline in the American in
dustry, but to artificial aids in the form
of premiums, which increase the Euro
pean export. The increase in quantities
exported is greater than the increase in

A FAMOUS VICTORY.

The English sparrows Of Boston are
full OF cheer and chatter, and no Won
der. They are victorious in a contest
which at one time seemed likely to re-
suit disastrously to them. When the
brains and the power of Boston were
turned against the sparrows it looked
bad for the little birds. But they per-
sisted, as usual, and Boston Is tired. 1t
will pursue the sparrows no more, for
awhile at least, and 1t will not again
lightly talk of exterminating them. The
sparrows' losses have been rather
heavy, including four thousand nests
and eighteen hundred eggs, but it will
not take them long to replace the nests
and the eggs. 1t will take Boston some
time TO repair it's pride and raise the
naughty crest that has been lowered by
the apparently insignificant birds.

values, since prices have constantly
fallen during the last thirty years. The
exports in mineral oils show a gain of
$50 per cent. in value, but of 1000 per
cent. in quantity. This is doubtless
true perhaps, not in the same percen-
tage, Of other articles. The showing is
full of stuff for earnest thought for Ger
mans.
We are indeed rich and great, and
although it behooves us not to forget it
isn't wicked to take proper pride in
ourselves.

Black velvet ribbon Is almost an es-
sential for hats, but is employed only
occasionally as trimming for gowns. It's
use on the fashionable shade oyster

rant it's general employment for that
purpose. Applied In the manner indi-
Gated in this picture, it was very taste
full. The goods trimmed was ladies'
cloth, the embroidered portions being
white cloth, their faint tracery in silver.
Nothing would have heightened the
beauty of the gown so much as did this
black velvet, though fault finders will
have chance to speak Of the recent
but past favor for using velvet in this
way.
Corset covers now are lovely, and
oddly enough they are in proportion so
much less expensive than are chemises.
1t would seem as if just the extra skirt
length, usually plain, Of the chemise
would not make such difference in the
price, but it does. An deliberately beau
tiful corset cover of the very latest de-
sign can be purchased for the price of a
rather simple chemse Some women
have taken advantage of this and added
skirts to the corset cover. This makes
the very newest fashion of chemise and
ensures a perfect fit. The fitted corset
cover is unusual Below the bust it is
left loose, to be drawn into place by a
ribbon or belt. The material is so deli
cate that there Is no fulness produced to
interfere with the fit of the bodice

Gloves in suede of mushroom color are
very pretty for semi-dress wear. The
white glove so long worn for dress is
no longer the most exclusive taste. A
gIace kid of some shade of pale gray,
or of fawn or yellow is the rule. A.
very pretty glove for informal tailor
wear is a soft gray pque stitched in
white with large pearl buttons. Crystal
buttons appear on some of the later
gloves, also solid gold and silver clasps.
These are supposed to be given to one S

does not necessarily imply special

butter was sent abroad through st.

The Providence Journal calls atten-

are a declining factor in Rhode Island
politics. This year their total vote is

any year since 1888, when the cold water
candidate for President received only
1850. The highest vote polled by the
party in this State was six years ago,
when the total was 1896. Part of the
deserving body may be found among the
Socialists, but greater number have

in sympathy with the Prohibitionists in

GOLD MONEY.
Tho Billion Dollar Point In the supply vi
the United states-The supply Of
Subsidiary Silver.

Washington, Nov. e.-The billion.
dollar point has been passed in the
supply of gold money in the United
States. This is the first time in the
history Of the country that so large a
supply of gold money has been shown,

hands, or in the custody OF jewelers.
and manufacturers The totals on
October were 1857, 1888, 1913 in gold coin
and $lSl, 73O, 800 in gold bullion, falling
little short of the billion-dollar point.
The increase in gold coin in the coun-
try during the month has been about
$500, 900, and the increase in the bull.
lion in the treasury has been $7,2S6, 66S.
The gold has been the chief source
from which the circulation Of all forms
OF money has been increased. This
circulation increased $l5, Ol2, 962 during
October, and stands at 81, 1858, 71e, 1873.
The circulation per capita increased Ii
cents during October, from Ss5.45 to

yer at the mints, which was 1904, 500 in
half dollars, $S94,00O in quarters and
S425, 900 in dimes. This work upon the
small pieces compelled the reduction Of
the silver dollar coinage to 81, 900, 900
and the conversion of such gold as was
coined into double eagles to the amount
of $1,000, 900 and eagles to the amount
of $3.50, 600. None of the smaller gold
pieces were coined. The total coinage
of the month was 22, 4S9, 1879 pieces, Of
