As To FINANCIAL RECORDS.

The financial bill now before congress
docs not contemplate a change in the
money standard of this country. 1t Sim
ply reafiirms the existing gold standard,
and when it goes to the president for
signature it will doubtless provide that
in the future the bonds issued by this
government, whether they be new bonds
or bonds for %refunding purposes, shall
be made payable in the standard money
of the country.
In discussing the financial question, a
few of our contemporaries whose editors
are prone to pick flaws in the records of
public men-whom they do not like
appear to overlook the declarations of
some Of our greater statesmen OF this
generation. In June, 1890, William Nc
Kinley, in a speech in the white house,
said:
would not dishonor silver. would
give it equal credit and honor with gold.
| would make no discrimination. |
want the double standard.
In February, 1873, James G. Blaine
said:
| believe gold and silver to be the
money Of the constitution.
If Mr.. Blaine were alive and in the
congress of the United States today he
would vote for the financial bill now un-
der consideration. MIR. Mckinley is
president and he will sign the bill when
it comes to him.
The fact is there have been great
changes, both in the conditions Of the
country and the thought Of statsemen, in
the past few years. The Republican
party honestly sought to secure a bime,
tallic agreement among the great world
powers, and failed. In 1896 the Amer,
lean people refused to 60 to the single
silver standard. Meantime the worlds
output of gold has greatly increased and
will continue to increase. Alaska alone
is good for forty millions mex year
And what is more important still, the
business Of this country is on a pros.
porous basis. The people have con.
tidencc in the integrity and ability of the
present administration, which is in all
certainty to be with us until 1905. There
will be no commercial or money panics
such as we passed through under the
operation Of the unwisc policy Of tho
previous administration. Hence there
is no cause for alarm in the bushes:
world.
For these reasons the pending finan
cial legislation is simply in keeping witt
modern events and modern demands

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
surfaces. The perfect combina-
tion Of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free.

Like the American girls, Hindoo
girls are passionately fond Of sweet
things. One of their candies, sadu, is
very much like our plain sugar candy.
1t is made of sugar and milk and fla
vored with altar Of roses. Buddhika-
bal, OF hair Of Buddha, is one Of their
most popular sweetmeats. 1t is so
called because it is in fine, long strings

is exceedingly rich. The women pass

The process is then repeated with feet
about a foot apart and then with the feet
crossed one over the other.
The next movement is to take hold of
the rail with one hand and practice the
high kick, swinging the leg we'll back
with the toes always pointed; this is fol-
lowed by clutching the rail with Doth
hands and back kicking as high as pos
sible and with the leg kept fairly straight,
a rather difficult accomplishment.
"Rougons' come next, and consists in
standing on one leg, raising the other
with the knee ben and twisting it round
and round, the foot describing horizontal
circles in the air. Finally the difficult
movement of shoulder legs" must be
achieved by taking hold of the inside of
the right heel with the right hand and re-
tanning the hold While the leg is stright-
ened out. This must be done with both
legs alternately, and persisted in until
the support of the rail can be easily dis
pensed with.
Having thus brought the limbs to a
suitable degree of suppleness the dancing
proper is begun by practiCing the high
kicks without the rail. Eight in success
sion. interspersed with one or more hops,
have to be given with each leg. and a Ger
tain amount of floor space covered in the
process, first forward and then back
ward. Posing is now attended to, the
carriage of the head and body, the move
ments of the arms and the position even
o fthe fingers all being of the utmost i'm
p%ortance in stage dancing. Indeed, there
seems to be as much to be done with the
arms and hands as with legs and feet,
the slightest deviation from the strict
rules being Vehemcntly corrected by the
ever Watchful Instructor.
The various dancing steps are then
taken, very slowly and deliberately at
first, like pianOforte scales, and quicken
ing as the student acquires proficiency,
until finally a point is reached when per-
sistency in practice and the study of new
figures are all that are required. The
manipulation of fans, tambourines,
special skirts and such like adjuncts of
s~tage-dancing are, of course, studies in
themselves that have to be separately
taught.

LOVE RULES.

1t was the best regulated family I ever
knew of. I shall not pretend to say that
it was the happie-st, for of that | do not
know, but it was the most orderly. Every
body and everything was in the proper
place at the proper time and not a bit
of w%rangling or strife was ever heard
of by the neighbors, who took a more
than ordinary interest in the remarkable
household. The family consisted of the
father, mother and one daughter, a sweet,
cheerful miss, who, when ! knew her, was
about Is years of age. She was the ruler
of the house, the darling of both parents,
but in no way spoiled by the affection be-
slowed upon her.
Strange rthan the perfect peace and
tranquility that ~perVaded the home was
the fact that husband and wife lived
entirely separate lives and never eX-
changed a word. 1t was the talk of the
locality that they had not spoken to one
another for more than ten years.
"Why?" 7 could not help asking my in
formant. He told me in his own way,
making a rather long story of it, and re-
vamping a great deal Of local history,
that they married after a brief court
ship and found, when too late, that their

simply could not get along together.

neither tried to poison it's mind against
the other. 1t was the one thing hat held
them together. And as she grew this
came to be more and more the case. until
now, fully conscious of the influence, she

HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

Chicago Record: Cases of stabbing
are SO common in Rome that the general
public only notices them with the nation
al shrug of the shoulders. On the Tiber
embankment at midday recently two
young men faced each other in silence,
armed with knives four or five other fell
lows stood by, forming a ring, while at
a distance the people of the neighbour
hood, mostly women and children, looked
on with critical eye. After a few passes
one of the two young men staggered fell
heavily and died. The murderer and the
witnesses withdrew, and then the women
and children raised an uDroar for the
police. The dead man was a Forentiner
20 years Old, named Emilio. After a day
or two the other fellows. jailbirds all,
were arrested. One of them made a clean
breast. Emilio and the prisoners belong
ed to an association of thieves, assisted
by receivers of stolen goods, who pro-
vided them with free board and lodgings
when business was slack.
They have unwritten laws, mercilesslN
enforced. When some offense against
the association is to be investigated Il
board is appointed and the party accused
pleads before this commission of inquiry.
If all are convinced that he is innocent,
the court and the accused adjourn TO the
nearest wineshop; if, however, all or any
of the Judges be not convinced, the party
accused is to fight the dissentlent COM

PRETTY GIRLS.

The Witnessing of gyrationS performed

In one corner of the apartment stands a
piano with SheaVeS of dance music lit
tered all about it. But the absence OF the
pianist has no restraining effect upon the
eternal Whirl of arms and legs, for the
instructor keeps the pot boiling by a sys-
tie moi h~andClapping, accompanied by a
humming of snatches of the tune. Watch
ing the graceful Gyrations of a perfectly
trained stage dancer, no one, who is not
in the swim. could imagine the amount
of preparation aud exercise necessary,
and the number of points that must
be mastered, before such an attractive
effect can be produced.
The preliminary movements evidently
are designed to train the limbs To neces-
sary suppleness, or, as one Of the fair
athletes quantity put ii, ito make us

is directed to take hold of the baniStcr

with Moth legs alternately until 1t can be
done without discomfort From this she

CARE OF THE EYES.

Up to 40 years of age, battle he eyes
twice daily with cold water.
Avoid reading when lying down or
when mentally or physically depressed.
When the eyes are tired rest them by
looking at objects from a distance.
Old persons should avoid reading much
by artificial light; be guarded as TO dlel'
and avoid sitting up late at night.
Avoid stimulants and drugs which al
feet the nervous system, especially when
they are known to exert an injurious IN
tluence.
After so years of age battle the eyes
mornings and evenings with water so hot
that YOU would wonder how you would
stand it; follow this with cold water.
