The Cost of Clothes In Russi.

Barring the inhabitants of the eartl
who wear practically no clothes at all
the costume of the average Russian
costs the least. Ten rubles. or about
$50, will clothe male citizen of the
cars realm, while the womans cos.
tune will cost less than 49,
The mans costume consists of coarse
cotton trousers tucked into boots of
half dressed leather cotton shirt ana
a sheepskin coat. \ coarse Camlet
caftan bound around with sash com.
pletes the dress.
Inc women wear Il sarafan. or LONG
petticOat, which is held ND by straps
running over the shoulders, a cnemise
with sleeves to the elbow. a kerchief
over the head and pair of shoes
Stockings are sometimes worn but
more frequently the legs and feet are
bound with strips of cotton or linen
cloth. For outdoor wear a quilted lack
ct or long cloak is added.
The simplicity and cheapness of the
aress are not due to any lack of vanity
but TO the poor circumstances under
WHlch the majority of the Russians
live.

An Independent Lassie.

In front of a confectioner's shop in
Paris there used to sit woman with
two wooden legs. She sold pictures
and songs and played well on the VIC

Gallant Victor Hurn

During the latter years of his long
life Victor Hugo was very fond of sur-
veying mankind from the vantage
ground of the top of an omnibus. He
used to make long excursions through
the gay city perched on the top of tho
homely bus, which he seemed to pre-
Ter to any other vehicle. An amusing
and characteristic anecdote of the
great poet who was most courteous
and attentive to the lovely sex, is re-
lated by review. One fine day. as he
was enjoying a ride under these condI-
lions. fascinating young woman
climbed up TO the summit of the tram
ear on which he was seated and steered
her way toward the only vacant place
which happened TO be the one next 10
him. She was about to take possession
OF 1t when sudden jolt sent her in
stead into Victor Hugo's lap. As soon
as she had recovered herself the pretty
girl turned to the poet and. her fair
cheeks suffused with crimson, said, 81
beg your pardon, monsieur" And l."
he replied CALAMITY, thank you, made
moiselle."

of the national congress. While
there is serious difference of opin-
ION among financiers as to the alleg-
ed benefits to be derived from the
The asset system, yet both sides ad-
NIT that the present gold standard is
''inelastic," and that a greater sup
ply of money is needed with which
to transact the business of the coun
try. The present scheme is to re-
tire the greenbacks, and create sub
stItute which shall be issued by the
banks. In order that this may be
done it will be necessary to very
greatly increase the bonded debt of
the United States and make it per-
petual, or else to provide an .'asset
currency whereby the banks can
issue notes upon their furniture, rail
road and wildcat mining stocks and
other collateral-anything which
will give to the banks the absolute
control of the paper money of the
country.
There is very simple and con-
stitutional method of increasing the
money supply of the country if the
fnanclers would but for moment
recognize the constitution of the
United States, and that is to resume
the coinage of silver as a remedy
for existing evils.
The lack of money with which to
transact the business of the country
could be supplied by the issuance of
silver certificates, which would be

metal, instead of asset currency
based on such local collateral. oft

that county. The tabulated returns
from 80 districts show total valua-

years ago. This is a gain in these
80 districts of $7,757, 1856 or AZ per

made in the remaining districts of
the county, the assessments will
reach a grand total of about $780,
