Colorado and BImetaIIIsm.

The people of Colorado have studied
the silver problem as a question OF
money. Although they now produce
more gold than silver, they know that
the destruction of silver as money
means low prices, business stagnation
and hard times in every gold standard
country. They understand that the
prosperity of Colorado is inseparably
connected with that of her three sis
ter states. and even though she may
enjoy exceptional advantages from her
increased output of gold, they know
that what Injuries the rest of the
country a great deal will necessarily
injure Colorado some. 1t is not with
in the range of honest figuring to
show how the characterization of sill
yer has done the United States any
good. But. as a western exchange
remarks. it can be easily shown. and
has been thousand times, that it has
done harm.

The car turned sharply around a
curve and the tall man who was hold
ing on to strap somewhat loosely was
suddenly thrown from his upright po-
sition with n force that landed him in
the lap Of dignified dowager sitting
near him. while his high silk hat flew
from his head and rolled down the aisle
of the car.
''Sir, she said as he rose to his feet
again with profuse apologies, II am

you were lacking in that complete
grasp of the strap which was essential
to the highest efficiency in maintaining
an upright attitude when turning a

A ouecr Examination.

Difficulties of the civil service exami-
nations are multiplied tenfold in the
requirements set down by law Of appli-
cants for positions in the mail service
of China
In the first place an applicant must
have strength and courage. To acquire
these he goes through a very queer
method of training. He wanders through
mountains and valleys, forests and
caves. The exact time to be occupied in
trip is fixed by law. and a heavy fine
imposed for unnecessary delay. He
must repeat these trips at night, and if
he listens to the bad spirits and there
by fails to appear at the required time
at a certain place he is sure to lose his
rights to position.
This is not all. He is obliged to carry
an enormous weight for many miles
and return with it within a given time.
No allowance is made for his inability
to defend himself against thieves and
highwaymen, his road usually leading
through a district thick with bandits
In training the candidate eats very
little-though he is used to this-and
he tries every straining exercise Then
comes his real examination under the
direction of government officials He is
taken into n long room, where. sus-
pended from a high beam with strong
ropes. are very heavy sacks filed with
rocks.
The candidate must give n swinging
