SILVER,

The consequences of 1.-The crime of
'73' are not yet all harvested, and they
may never be. But it is worth while to
notice that the United States has in its
possession silver bullion and dollars ag-
gregating a nominal or coinage value
of just about 100000 900, and the pres
ent market value of this metal is about
thirty-three and a half cents on the
dollar. Here, then, is a shrinkage in
the value of this large mass of prop
erty within ten years of thirty-four
cents on the dollar, or $17O,0OOOO0. AS
a nation we are worth in tangible prop
erty just so much less. because of the
fall in the price Of silver. Other ma
tons have also suffered.
But notwithstanding the sadness of
the situation there is no clamor in this
country that the government do some
thing for silver" and there is a we'll
defined feeling that the government has
done more for silver than it ought to.
1t is cheering that we can learn, and
that we are able to pay for our educa
ton.

and improved machinery. In gray
goods the competition is especially
strong, while in other lines American
goods are at least holding their own.
In cotton yarns the United States has,
up to this time, made no effort to sup
ply the demand. Great Britain, Japan
and India being the chief competitors
for that class OF merchandise, nearly
all of the cotton yarn exported from
India' being sent to the markets of
China. The value of cotton yarns inn
ported into China in 1901 was $4,000, 600
haikwen taels, or about $35, 100000.
The United States ought to get many
more haikwen taels from China than
it now gets, and it will. We have the
goods, and we can make the Chinese
see that they need them.

the wind-swept atmosphere. That
night 1t begins to freeze; the mud upon
the roads begins to crunch beneath our
feet and the puddles become thinly
coated with ice.
Next morning, if we set out for q
tramp, We shall notice many indica
tions that the first bit Of real wintel
weather has arrived. AS We pas
through a town, we see that groups {
idlers have vacated their strongholds a.
the corners of streets and have gone to
kick their heels and air their views in
/ places less cold and clustering. The
horses, hitched to posts here and there
are blanketed this morning, and the
white Vapor which jets from their nos
trils at every breath is further evidence
| of the fall in the temperature. Yester-
day morning the doors of the shops
were wide open to let in the balmy air:
! to-day they are closed to keep out the
| wind. No one is sauntering along this
morning; all are walking briskly, pull
| ing on their gloves and buttoning thei,
overcoats. And we walk along briskly
with the rest, smiling at certain map
propriate signs, whose invitations to
eat ice cream and drink ice cold soda
water give US chills even to read them.
Out in the country we find the birds
much scarcer than they were few
days ago. At first perhaps we find
nothing but a flock of noisy house
sparrows, squabbling in a farm yard,
and an occasional crow which drifts
over, high above us. But we know OF
an orchard on a sheltered, southern
slpoe, where we are sure to find some
thing in feathers, and thither we g
through the dry brown fields. AS We
pass a certain fence corner, We look,
but in vain, for the little chipmunk,
who, during the past two weeks, has
summed himself daily upon the stump
at the mouth of his burroW. The en-
trance of that burroW is now blocked
with leaves and earth, and for the next
three months its owner will not see the
light. At the end of that time he will
emerge, but not like the woodchuck a
shadow of his former self. The chip
munk lives we'll during his retirement,
and comes out plump in the spring.

perhaps a few little mounds Of coarse
hay, something which had been left be-
cause it was not worth carrying away.
If We turn it over we shall find here
and there amongst it little globes of
dried grass, some four or five inches in
diameter. These are the winter homes
of meadow mice, the little short-tailed
brown rodents which have honey
combed the ground hereabouts, and
whose little runways may be seen eX-
tending through the grass in every di-
rection. In the side of each globe there
is little round hole, and if we insert a

SERG EANT SHEVLIN SHRoPSHTRE

Sergeant shevlin Shropshire, col
ored trooper of the Tenth regular cav
airy, was recently retired for age, hav-
ing reached the limit in the service.
In announcing his retirement, Lieuten-
ant w. F. Fonds of the Tenth cavalry,
commandment at Fort Mckenzie, in the
general order, declared that he wished
to record his profound admiration and
respect for this admirable soldier and
to call the attention of 1.-THE command
to Sergeant Shropshire's magnificent
record of over thirty years of arduous.
Jealous and faithful service from the
Civil war to the present time. I'm
three wars and in three countries. Ser
geant Shropshire has borne himself
with the greatest credit to himself, to
the cavalry service and to the army.
Faithful to every trust and obligation
imposed upon him, of irreproachable
character, brave, capable, proud and
true to his country, he is man pre-
eminently an example of the men who
have always carried American arms to
victory, and the highest type of that
backbone Of the army--the non-com-
missioned officer" This was endorsed
by General Funston, commander of the
department Of Colorado, and it was
ordered that the report as made "be
published in the papers as an encour-
agement to all meritorious soldiers
Pretty good, for negro, isn't it?
Even white man could hardly have
done better, and there are many white
men who haven't done as well. Ser
geant Shropshire doesn't happen to be
a member of 1.-The superior race" but
he would be an honor to any race. He
is especially an honor to his own ILL
treated but aspiring black brothers.

MIR. ADDICKS PREDICTs.


j. Edward Addicks, perpetual and
professional candidate in Delaware for
United States senator, is not at all dis
couraged by the Presidents explanation
that the appointment of William NJ.
Byrne to the post Of United States dis
trict attorney for Delaware was not in
direct recognition of the claims of the
Addicks wing of the party to the Fed
eral patronage. Mr.. Addicks thus de-
scribes the situation: There Is clear
majority of thirty Republicans. on joint
ballot, and the Union party commands
a large majority of the Republican
votes. There will be an election this
time, and I will be one of the Senators
chosen, and another Republican, of one
or the other wings, will be chosen with
me. There will be no deal. The man
selected to serve with me will be chosen
by the whole party and he will not be a
fusion compromise between the two
wings of the Republican party. At
the same time, don't mind saying that
he will probably be one of the boilers.
Just remember this: There will not be
another deadlock. We have the votes
this time.
Let us wait and see how Mr. Addicks'
prediction comes out, meanwhile bearing
in mind that it is sometimes as hard to
keep bad man down as it is to keep
a good man down.

1t was hat-a brand-new lid
All Of tha latest block.
4 sweeter cauy never did

Right neatly was it creased atop,
Its brim was Tine and wide;

But curved OH eiIner SIDE.
A man this natty headpiece wore

Where stormy Winda do blow,

And women they did smile.
While small street urchins rudely jeered

1t rested ever and anon,
And hope grew high, but when
He mady grabbed, 1t straight was gone
Careering off again.
And whereas he before some time
Was free of spot or speck,
He now was from the calseway CRIME

But still persiStently he ran.
He may be running yet.
He disappeared, but oh, that man

1t was, wot, a goodly sight,
Most cheering for to see.
That red, perspiring, breathless wight.
1t did much good to me.
For some may like the circus gay,

But for gladstone sport I'd say
These do not fill the bill.

Who down the street so madly ran
Accusing of his lid.

squeak in very pathetic tone, as
though begging to be set down again.
But we must be getting along to the
orchard. Over there in the cedar we
might find many bluejays to-day; they
dislike this high wind, and shelter
themselves from it in the hearts Of the
tVergreens. They do not care to leave
heir retreats either, and will allow one
10 approach quite close before flying
out. once in the orchard, which is
protected on the north by the hill be-
hind it, We are out of the wind, a ftct
as we'll known to the birds as to US.
The first voices we hear, perhaps, are
those Of some chickadees fitting about
in some evergreen bushes on the border
of the orchard, and We wonder at the
unusual amount of excitement. But we
no longer wonder when we see the stur-
dy figure of northern shrike perched
on the top Of the nearest apple tree,
trying to single out the particular
chickadee he would best like for his
breakfast. We watch him until he
pitches down to the evergreens and re-
joice to see him miss his aim, while the
chickadees fly away unframed. But
the shrike, nothing dismayed, still con-
tinues to search the evergreens; he
saw what we missed, that one of the
chickadees was left behind. Now we
hear the little fellow scalding as he
fits from one part of the bushes to an
other, always well under cover, while
the shrike flies to and fro on the aut-
skirts, waiting for his prey to make
just one mistake. After watching this
little drama until the chickadee has
had as much exercise as is good for
him, we drive the butcher bird away in
one direction, while the little titnouse
takes advantage of our timely interior
ence to hurry off in the other.
In this orchard we also see those al
most inseparable winter companions
the downy woodpecker and the white
breasted nuthatch. There Is evidently
bond of sympathy between these two
birds, strengthened, no doubt, by the
fact that they have similar occupa-
tons. But they seldom pay any atten-
ton to one another, further than to
hunt their food in the same or nearby
trees. Both are patterns of industry,
shining up and down trees and pack
ing and hammering all day long. Be
side them, the brown creeper, which we
may see in the same orchard, looks
like some old, old person, gathering
something which requires to, be very
patiently sought and carefully exam
ined. We might imagine that she had
left her spectacles at home and was
obliged to look very closely at every
thing before she dared to pick 1t up.
When we go home from such a walk
at the beginning of winter, we should
not forget that this is the time to es-
tablish our bird restaurant, with its
Jumps of suet, tied to the trunks and
branches of the trees near the house,
and its trays of canary seed and
cracked nuts, fastened to horizontal
branches, posts or piazza ratings. II
the birds get into the habit OF coming
to us now for food they will continue to
come all winter.

NOR EXPANSION,

The trade of the United States with
China is rapidly increasing The gen.
eral report on the commerce of China
for the year 1901 shows that the i'm
ports from the United States have
grown from 5,O93, 1872 haikwen taels in
1895 to 23,52S,6O6 in 1901; while those
from Great Britain grew from 1880, 900
taels in 1896 to 41,22S,538 taels in 1901,
and those from the continent of Europe,
Russia excepted, from 1880 taels in
1895, to 1906 5S taels in 1901, showing
much more rapid gain proportion
ately in imports from the United States
than from the United Kingdom or
other countries of Europe. Cotton
goods and -four are the items of i'm
portation from the United States which
show the greatest gain, and in cotton
goods especially the increasing popu-
larity of the American product seems
to be causing some anxiety on the part
of European manufacturers and repre-
sentatives of European manufacturing
countries. The British Commercial At
tache Jameson, commenting upon this
fact, says that cotton manufacturers
are finding it increasingly difficult to
compete with the United States, par
ticularly in the coarser grades of cot
ton" The American manufacturer, he
says, enjoys advantages in the way of
geographical position, transport rates

The man who invented the postal
card is dead. He was DR.. Manuel
Hermann, and he lived in Vienna. His
triumph which has gone all over the
world, was originated in 1859, so 1t is
comparatively recent. At that time the
Austrian inland postage was six kreut-
ger, or about three cents of our money.
and DR.. Hermann was the professor of
political economy in the Vienna Poly
technic school, issued a pamphlet sug-
costing that cards be issued of a certain
and uniform size, that might contain
only twenty words. and on which the
postage should be but two kreutzers.
The suggestion aroused the enthusiasm
of the Austrian postmaster general, and
at the close of the year the postal card
was introduced.

The Working Garb.

The housewife who would do her
work in the best possible manner
should be literally provided with suit
able working dresses. Three or foul
are sufficient, unless the entire house
work devolves upon her, when more
may be found necessary. In any case,
they should be of cheap material and
made in the simplest fashion. Perhaps
a heavy cambric. white ground with a
figure, is the best material of which to
make these gowns. 1t washes well, and
always looks well. 1t is better to make
a kitchen dress in simple, severe, shirt
waist fashion. Instead Of high collar.
which is especially uncomfortable in
the kitchen, finish the neck in simple
V shape The sleeves should be cut off
a little below the elbow, and finished
in as simple a fashion as possible.
Such dress is easily made and easily
laundered.
