Looks for Silver Movement

Looks Tor Silver Movement.
Sir Moreton Frewen. the eminent British
bimetallist, who because of his interest in
the silver question spent much time In
this country during the campaign Of 1885,
is among the foreign visitors who will OBJ
serve the proceedings of the approaching
republican convention. While disavowing
any hope of influencing any expression BY
the convention favorable to a double
standard, Mr.. Frewen expressed conf
dence IN the early revival of interest In
silver, and he predicted that the next sill
yer movement will come from the eastern
seabCard and not from the western states
ITO guide us" he said, I'VE now have
had two exchange earthquakes. the one in
1899, the second last year On each Occa-
sion silver fell over p per cent. In other
words. the gold premium on all the cur
rencies of Asia rose to that extent. with
the result that the purchases of SOO. OOO, 900
of orientals from gold standard countries
have for the time been suspended. With
each fresh fall in silver bullion you have
a fresh exchange crisis with the orient.
and as gold prices rise further these crises
must recur at shorter and shorter inter-
walls. Rely upon it that the financers and
merchants of New York and Boston will
from this time on bring fresh minds to
consideration of this great exchange prob

BEAUTY IN THE COUNTRY.
Suggestions For Making Farms and
Rural Homes Attractive.

Financial circumstances are often
such that the farmer cannot adorn his
farm with expensive houses. barns and
lawns. But this lack of means should
not discourage the average man, for
there IS no reason why his home
should not he beautiful. There are
homes where we see these improve
mcntS, yet there may be an element Of
beauty lacking to those who love beau
ty for beauty's sake. Cleanliness,
good taste and a certain amount of
pride must he seen or beauty Will be
lacking There Is lack of taste and
management in some country homes
to be deplOred.
We see country homes, one after an
other almost entirely without flowers
Sometimes we judge it is because the
women do not have time to care for
them, but more often we believe it Is
because of the lack of love for flowers
that they are missing, says Mrs. f. V.
Gordon of Lamar county. Tex, in the
Farm and Ranch. Every home should
have its flowers. One should take
time to care for a few at least. 1t re-
quires very little time to plant and
care for hardy flower, and that flow
er will afford pleasure and beauty for
many days in the year. Flowers ap-
peal to our finer taste, and in the cul-
tiVatiOn of them we become more re
fined. The front yard should have good
walks and we'll arranged flower beds,
and these should be kept clear of
weeds and grass If possible. The back
yard should never be neglected. 1t is
just rs important factor if not more
so, in the everyday life of the home
maker as the front yard. All weeds
and rubbish should be removed and
trees and flowers of value planted.
1t has been our lot to be thrown into
some communities where the average
farmer greatly neglected the appear
ance of his farm and seemed to be pos
scsSed with a don't care disposition
and to be endowed with very poor
ideas of refinement.
There is so much left undone which
could be done with profit and added
comfort Our farms would be much
more attractive if all fence rows,
orchards and back lots were kept
clear of weeds and grass Gates and
barn doors should be we'll made and
hinged not propped. Fence wires
where they are loose at every other
post should be stapled up. These are
small things, but they mar the beauty
of the farm Our farms are often
destitute of trees. This should not he

THE MARINERS COMPASS.
influences That Draw It From Its Allie
Glance 20 the Pole.

Nothing in the navigatiOnal equip.
ment of a ship has been the subject of
more anxious research or receives
more jealous care than the mariners
compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and
south iS-Well, more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are. Even
under the most favorable conditions
there are only certain places upon the
surface of the earth where the compass
needle does point north and south, and
it is quite safe to say that such cOndi-
tiOns are never found on board of any
ship.
But we must 90 further and say that
no more unfavorable position could be
found for Il compass than on board of
modern steamship, which is com
plcated mass of steel, all tending to
draw the compass needle from its ale
glance to the magnetic pole of the
earth, warning influences which must
needs be cOunteracted by all sorts of
devices which hedge round the instru-
ment by an invisible wall of conflicting
currents of magnetism.
And as if this were not enough there
are now huge dynamOs to be rcckOned
with producing electric currents for
all sorts of purposes on board. In the
midst of these mystic currents the poor
little compass needle, upon which the
mariner depends for his guide across
the tracklcss deep, hangs suspended
like one shrinking saint surrounded by
legions of Windsor Magazine.

CLEVELAND AND CHICAGO.
Cheapness Versus Good Service-Two
Ways of Dealing With the Traction
Question.

In Cleveland the traction agitation
was for a three cent fare. In Chicago
it was for good service. The people
We're willing to pay . cents for decent
transportation. Cleveland has secured
the low fare, for time at least, and
Chicago has settled the traction contro-
vcrSy in Il way that will give it the
good service it has longed for. AS the
people of this city are beginning to
get that kind of service and are sure
that they will get much more of it
within a twrlvcmonth they are salts
fed with their method of disposing of
the traction question.
The people of Cleveland got what
they contendcd for. They can ride for
3 cents when rioters do not upset the
cars, but they do not find their victory
50 enjoyable as they thought it would
be. While Contending for Il low fare
they forgot to couple with it demand
for good service. 1t was an oversight,
for while they have the one they have
lost the other The accommodations
are not what they were when the rate
Of fare was higher. Fewer cars are
run, and there are more strap hangers.
Discomfort is rife. At a mass meeting
where all elements in the community
were represented the present munich
pal management of the lines was Wig
orously condemned.
This is a reason for the poor Serv-
ice: Mayor Johnson and his manager
of municipal traction have set out to
prove that the lines can be made to
meet all necessary expenses on Il three
cent basis. To do that there must be
rigid economies, most of them at the
expense of the passenger. The pack
ing of cars will keep down operating
expenses; hence a reduction In the
number Of cars is an economic meas
ure. First class accommodations can
not be afforded for third class fare
The people of Chicago chose the bet
ter part when they concentrated their
energies on getting good service. Prob
ably there are many in Cleveland who
wish they had done likewise. Raise
your fare if you have to, but do not re-
duce the service" was one of the much
applauded sentiments heard at a re-
cent mass meeting. A comfortable
ride is cheap at cents, and an uncom-
Portable one is dear at 3.-Chicngo
