Made in Quaint Old Styles or to Order
Used for Various Birds.
The great majority of all the bird
cages sod nowadays are made Of
wire, but there are still sold to bird
owners who want something odd and
different and picturesque willow bird
cages such as once were commonly
used. If they are not still, in Europe,
these willow cages being made for
paroquets and thrushes and canaries,
and. in fact, for any sort of bird.
A familiar sort of willow bird cage
has round body and cone-shaped
top. with willow ring thereby which

willow rods. is the sort of bird cage
one ni?ht see hanging outside the
doc: of peasants home in some con-

JUMP THE ROPE.
II You Would Restore Full Figure

If You Would Restore Full Figure
to It's Former SyIphliIke Lines.
If you would retain a sylphlike form,
or attain one, in case the accumula.
ton of adipose tissue has distorted
your former slenderness into unsightly
lines, jump the rope.
This is what certain New York
women are spending their spare time
in doing nowadays. When you see a
woman who once tipped the scales at
200 and now balances them at 1876 you
may be sure that she has been fol-
lowing the latest form Of beauty cul.
ture.
From Paris comes the beauty cultur-
list who introduced this simple method
Of flesh reduction, and though she
pretends that some mysterious medi-
cinal virtues emanate from the han
dies of her skipping ropes, yet those
who have tried the system with Or
binary skipping ropes report remark
able results from the sport.
AS a matter of fact, this reformer
herself might recommend almost any
thing in the line of beauty culture for
flesh reduction and her adherents
would follow it, even to standing on
their heads, if that would do any good,
for she has a sylphlike form herself
Encased in heathlike corsets over
which hangs easily a princess gown of
white broadcloth she presents pic
ture of grace that any woman would
do much to acquire.

Washington, May 15.-The Vreeland
currency bill, agreed upon by the Re-
publican caucus, was yesterday put
through the house under a special
rule by vote of 1874 to 14S. Fifteen
so-called insurgents of the minority
party voted with the Democrats. who
went on record solidly against the
measure.
The closing moments Of the debate
were replete with excitement and Re-
publican enthusiasm caused by the re-
fusal of the great majority of the Dem
ocrats to 60 on record for the Will
liams bill. which had been offered by
Mr.. Kahn of California as substitute
for the Vreeland bill, in accordance
with we'll laid plan Of the majority
leaders to ascertain where the Demo.
Gratis stood on the proposition which,
it was claimed by several, was sup
ported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety-three
Democrats voted present, which
aroused the Republicans to a high
state of hilarity at the expense of the
minority. Only handful of Demo
Gratis had the temerity to vote AYE"
or no" The action of Mr.. Kahn was
due to the refusal of Mr.. Williams to
present his bill and substitute. which
under the rule he was specifically au-
thorized to do.
The great sundry civil appropria.
ton bill, carrying total Of about
100000, was passed by the sen.
ate yesterday. This is the last of the
