SILVER DEMAND AND SUPPLY.
The Demand for Silver as a Money
Metel is Growing.

The stock of silver bullion at the
Philadelphia mint was exhausted on
August 18th and coinage was suspended.
The mint officials think that the demand
for subsidiary coins will force the re-
sumption of minting next month.
1t is the enormous demand for small
silver coins in India, China and all other
Oriental countries, as we'll as at home,
which keeps the price of silver up, and
when the United States government
has exhausted it's accumulation of silver
dollars which will be recoined into sub
sidiary silver money, it will be neces-
sary for it to follow England's example
and go into the open market to pur-
chase silver.
While subsidiary coins are being
turned out to the amount of millions of
dollars annually by the minis of Eng
land for the teeming population of
India and by the United States for
China and it's Oriental possessions, yet
it is a fact, we'll known to students of
political economy, that these millions
of small silver coins are actually alb
sorbed by the hundreds of millions Of
people who throng the steppes of India
or who are crowded in the vast Chinese
empire.
The small silver coins, the only money
used by these people, are unaccountab-
ly swallowed up in that swirling vortex
of humanity. They never return and
there is always gaping void, to be
filled again by other millions of coins
which again disappear. This is one of
the inexplicable mysteries of the small
commercial life of those struggling be-
ings who never used gold coin; whose
only money is silver,
The point of interest to American
miners is that the demand for silver as
money metal is greater now, will ever
continue to be greater, than the supply.
For the experiments of ancient and
modern nations, relative to the demon
citing of one of the twin money metals
has ever proved failure and in the
end disastrous to the nation which at
tempted it. Mining and Engineering

RUSSIANS RETREATINC SONG.

We're marching on to freedom, in the
dark before the dawning;
The shells are bursting round us, and
the shrappel shrieks on high.
We're marching on to freedom Though
the black and bloody morning;
A crimson thread is in the east and
creeps across the sky.
We're hopelessly defeated; let the jow
GUS news be shouted.
Our armies are in full retreat and
soon we shall be free.
Outfought and outmaneuvared, out
fianked and raked and routed,
Three hundred thousand beaten men
are singing to the sea.
Our forces fill the valleys full; the plain
is overlooking;
Our bayonets clothe the trampled
earth like fields of sloping corn.
About the distant mountain tops the
light is slowly glowing;
A scarlet cloud is in the east, and
soon it will be morn.
o grave, where is thy victory? o death
where is thy singing?
We die that Russia may be free; we
lose that she may gain.
There's blood upon the road we take,
but still we take it singing,
Our triumph is in our defeat, our
glory in our pain.
We're marching on to freedom through
the blood red light of morning;
The cannons roar behind US and the
dead are falling fast.
You can see our patient faces, in the
crimson of the dawning;
We've suffered through the weary
night, but day has come at last.
For we're beaten-beaten- beatenl Let
the joyous news be shouted;
We've lost the tyrant's battle now,
and soon we shall be free.
Wronged, robbed, oppressed, tormented
imprisoned, exiled, knouted,
A hundred million Russian Slavs are
rising tike the sea.

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE IDAHoAN.

An excellent and highly interesting
article appears in the Portland Tele-
gram regarding the Idaho exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition which
is here reproduced:
If the legislators of Idaho, when
making an appropriation for an Idaho
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton, had had in mind solely the benefits
to come to that state III the way of
immigration and investment of capital,
they could not have outlined better
character of display than the one which
causes so many favorable comparisons
when the Gem state building is visited.
In ''playing" for the homeseeker, if
that was really the purpose of the ex-
hibit made, Idaho has singularly and
happily combined grouping with artistic
taste and actual quality.
AS result, superintendent of Vari-
GUS exhibits report that quite few
home-hunters from the middle west are
going directly from the fair to Idaho,
while it is estimated that directly and
indirectly the states exposition show
ing will be the means of adding several
thousand to its population before 1907.
No attempt was made by Idaho to
have sectional or county lines drawn or
to have the general display show one
county up above another. The build
ing and its contents were designed for
the good of the state as a whole. Ore
was brought in in such quantities and
carrying such values that the mining
man coming to the building is held

HEPBURN AND HIS CRITICS.

The attacks made upon Senator H ey
burn by the Washington correspondents
of western papers are largely conceived
in ignorance and brought forth in male
violence.
Some of these correspondents write
in the spirit of sycophancy and with
a view of currying especial favor with
President Roosevelt through Chief
Forester Pinchot, whose close Official
and personal relations with the presi-
dent are universally known.
Another breed of penny liners"
are writing with a view of giving color
to the inference that there is friction
in high administrative circles.
Each group of these valiant pencil
warriors will meet with ignominious
failure.
AS ''good wine needs no blush," Mr..
Pinchot requires the aid of no fiatterors
to cement his relations to the President
who recognizes the fact that Mr.. Pin
chot is an enthusiast on the subject of
the preservation of the forests, and,
being human, is liable to err, and whose
errors, when ascertained, may be cor
rected without causing a ripple on the
smooth surface of their official relations
and on the other hand, President Roose-
welt is too fair and brave fighter to
harbor a grudge against any man who
disagrees with him and openly under
takes to carry his point and he admires
a man who boldly makes a fight for his
constituents.
In Idaho these attacks in no manner
reflect upon or injure Senator Hepburn,
for the entire citizenship, irrespective
of party utilization, recognize the fact
that in his fight against the appropria-
ton of third of the states area for
forest reserves he is working for the
interests of the entire state and its de-
velopment, and that, however great a
national blessing forest reserves may
prove to be, the state of Idaho should
not be called upon to bear an excessive
share of the burden, and that is what
Senator Hepburn is endeavoring to pre-
vent, and in his laudable effort he is
sustained by every fair minded resident
of the state who has studied and pos
sesses sufficient intelligence to compre-
bend the situation. North Idaho News.

proportion of the counties is represent

BILE settlers that all the advantages of
schooling they had back home would
be available in the Gem state, and that
of encouraging visiting pedagogues to

apply for positions in the state. A well

over burdened with professional trainers

The Idaho fair commission feels it
has attained great deal in presenting
compact exhibit. The members say
it is time enough to inject the focal"
idea when people are ready to start to
look the state over. A middle west
farmer, spending an hour in the agri-
cultural exhibit, goes away with clear
idea of just what quantity and quality
of grains Idaho produces, the state be-
ing considered stronger drawing card
than the locality.
The horticultural display is kept con-
stantly replenished by fresh consign-
ments of fruit, and since these products
began to come in floor space is taxed to
about the utmost. In the past few
weeks, flour, many varieties of nuts,
tobacco, wines, comb honey, melons,
additional school exhibits, several kinds
of vegetables, wood and several other
specimens of resources have been
brought in.
Senator r. w. Mcbride, executive
commissioner, comes from Lemhi
county, and is one of the hardest work
ed men on the grounds, but the hundred

CHARMING PATTERNS

Written for The Star by Katherine Anderson.
Dear to the heart of every woman Is a
pretty Longing robe. No matter how small
her allowance. it is invariably a part of her
wardrobe, and usually its most becoming
member. Even the perfectly tailored maid
throws aside her austerity when she enters
her boudoir and becomes charmingly femi-
nine in the softest negige that her fancy
can picture and her purse afford.
Kimonos, so long in favor, are really the
quickest and altogether most practical kind
of lounging robe. Then, too, they are so
easily made with the aid of ten-cent pat
tern. When bought ready made there Is
apt to be sameness about them all. On
the other hand, the girl who makes her own
kimono has the advantage of a thousand
and one unique patterns and colorings in
cIinging fabrics.
Delaines and challies have rather taken
the place of crepe cloth in building these
Japanese lounging robes. Some of the new
printed cashmeres are exquisite for this
purpose. Take, for instance, a soft cash
mere in American Beauty red striped with
a trellis of peoples on a white background
The material, because of its striking design
has a distinctly scant cut. Beauty satin

fronts.

All mothers like to feel that their chill

IN DOLLARS AND CENTS.
What Hand Embroidery and Real Lace
Cost.

Written for The Star.
The tremendous craze for handwork
both in fine laces and In embroidery bids
fair to increase rather than diminish,
and women who know the infinite pains
and care that it demands are asking,
'eWhat is the price that must be paid for
it eventually?'
Miladi. who buys lingerie exquisite with
French embroidery and gowns magnih-
cent with trimmings of real lace. thinks
she is covering all expenses when she
writes her check in payment of the trades
mems bills. And it is true that the linen
houses and the fine modistes get full meas
ure for handling these goods. But some
where in poorly lighted rooms thousands
of eyes are strained from early morning
till late at night to turn out this fine
handiwork and the people who take all
the delicate stitches are not receiving the
merest pittance for their labor, but pay
ing for it twice over in the damage to
their eyesight.
Then there is the girl-and she is not
one but many in large citieS-who when
she has finished her work downtown
comes home to the evening task of sewing
thousands of minute spangles onto the
mesh of a hair thread net. Or perhaps
she ekeS out her small weeks salary by
counting thread for thread and groups
which go to make up yards of sheer linen
hemstitching. To do this work by the
light of day would not pay hardly for
what she eats, so she wears out her eyes
and strength sewing late into the evening
hours by the light of a single gas Jet.
Still larger is the proportion of women
who have not the price to buy fine en-
broideries and laces in the shops but who
must keep pace with the demands of Dame
Fashion. Consequently they try to make
It for themselves. Every spare moment
is spent putting myriad embroidery stitches
into the collar and cuffs for this waist,
