The Relation Each Bears to The Other. l'oriluml Sun: Tho moKt iuiortatit factor in Ihe pilver question is llm direct eirect Iho bullion price of fiiivur liaH on tho price of our cotton, wheat and other corcils, and all thoto productR for tho sale of which in the European markets e aro brought into competition with oilier nations that aro virtually on the silver monetary basis. . It is this fact which makes tlio rotnoti etization of silver of urcater imjiorlsnre to the citizens of the Unilfd Slates than even the increased per upita circulation of our primary or redemption money that such legislation would provide. Our greatest sources of revenue or national wealth aro our staple products, like cotton, wheat anil other cereals If 0'ir placters and farmers gut good prii-es for their products, then tho whole nation is prosjwrous; but if, as is ihe case today, tho prico of their products in the world's iimrKot is below the actual cost of pro duction, then all classes of our citizens must suffer, excepting those receiving fixed salaries and tho money-lenders. Even the inonej -lenders who holJ much loiiK-liuic paper, must eventually sufl'cr under a steady shrinkage of prices extending over a period of years; for the value of tho collateral given to secure a loan, even tliougli worth seven! limes the amount of the loan w hen the rau:c was effected, must eventually shrink lelow the amount of the loin itself. Hence eventually ouly Uiat very small c!as of our imputation who own no laud, pro ducts or stocks, but have all their means invested in first-class bonds and it will be difiicultto find bonds that will remain first class under the continuance if the (ingle gold fctan Jard or have their means in actual money or Miort-lirue well se emed loans, and those who have fixed s.ilaries can be beneGtlcd or even saved from ultimate liiuucui ruin under a con tinued fall in piice.s and values. Our principal compeiitois in the Kuru lean market for the biIho'' onion arc India and Egypt, while Indij, Ku-mu ii Ihe Argentine are our priiu-ip.il competi tors for Iho tale of wheat and oilier cereals. Thdt the pricn receiu-il lur our surplus lixea the price of our home nur kct is an economic axiom. India, lim eia, Eyptaud the Argentina have been virtually on a silver basis. The Unitd States since 1S73 had I een upon sold basia. Suppose the Unittil States, India, Kus- fcia, Egyut and the Argentine all pofse.s.5el laud of equal fenility snd productivvr hm, possetsed equal climatic conditions, trans (ortalion facilities and rales to the European market, and eqn.nl lan.i values and lalwr scale of wages, as mca-urcd in their respective currencies. Under these assumptions let ns investigate as to what effect a change in the iaterchangeability or value of the money meUN aelins as the !,iif vfihoFu rospi-live i-o:inliies would have m tin- price i f their prod ucts.

When silver bullion rose abo e our coinage nlue (tl.-JO 29 jr our.cej. then the Unileil States would le correspondingly benefitted U the extent of that rise in the price of her rotti n, wheat and other cereals export. When ever the bullion price of t-ilver feil below our coinaRe or cold valuation ($1.20 20- 100 K-r ounce) then our competitors. In dia. Russia, Enyptand Argentine wnulil be coresondini:ly benefitted by every joiiii that ulyer fell in the price tliey would git, or rather the cost at which thev co-ild producn their cotton, wheat and other cereal?, which condition would continue under our previous assumption jnst as long as an ounce of silver would buy in these countries an equal amount of land and labor regard Ie. of silver's bullion value in lheworldV market. It is today a fart conceded by the best authorities that an tnmto of silver, worth only 00 cents of gold in the world's mar ket, will purchase as much land and lab.-r in those countries now upon a stl ver monetary basis as it would when Bilver was selling over $1.20 per ounce Hem e the result is, if all the above con ditions were equal as far as land product ivi netw and values, and labor's effective ness and cott, and transportation 'ex penses, then with silver bullion worth CO rents tier ounce in the world's market India and Egypt could pio.Inctf their cot ton for 00-120 or less than one-hall cf what it would cost the United States to produce hpr cotton, and India and Itus sia and w Ar;enlltii. could prodme th&ir wheat and other cereals for 60-120 or less than one-half jf what it would cost the linked States t'i produce her's. Now, while as a matter of fact theie a difference in fertility of soil, climate. conditions, tran.portatiou expenses, land and labor values in these respm-livt.- count lies, tliH most biased au-i preiu diced gold uiouomet.iliet mut conc-di- iht fact that the Million value of silver iehib a poweiful iullut'iire an. I direct ffiVct up on the cost of production in Ibofi' cout tries on the silver monetary basis ns long as a certain weicnt of silver bullion con tinues to product! so miu-h land and labor regardless of fluctuation in the value of the bullion represented ly su h weight, and will enable our competitors on a silver nionelarr basis to greatly un dersell the United States in t lie world's market even with profit to themselves, but groat loss to us as long as wn remain on the (inch) gold monetary basts. Thus it will bo easily seen an I under stood that the higher tho wor'ld's bullion value of silver the greater the benefit to tho planters and farmeis ot tlioiJUnited States, and consequently to all classes of our country; whereas, the lower the bul lion value the lower our planters and farmers must bcII their products until, as is shown today, the prices of our staple products are far below the actual cost of production. It is for the reason that The Sun se verely criticises tho idea of any change of ratio above 10 to 1 and condemns the idea of free coinage of the American pro ducts, because by such latter legislation tho world's bullion price of silver would onlv be raised to the extent that the American silver product would 1 e taken out of tho world's snpplv. TJrcos Yonr II air Carefully. It is fashionablo just now to dress the hair in undulating waves and to brush it over tho ears at tho sides. A few little, Eoft "Diana" curls are allowed to rest on tho forehead, but tho hair is almost invariably slightly parted in tho mid dle. A good deal of discretion is neces sary in dressing tho hair to adapt it to each individual typo of face. Long, thin faces should not have tho hair dressed too high, as this accentuates tho length of tho face. Bound, short faces should havo tho coiffnro piled in fluffy curls on tho top of the head, and a littlo butterfly bow or fancy pin set nt jnst tho correct angle will often have a very modliying effect upon tho angularity of features. Much latitudois permitted in haixdrefis ing fashions, however, and every woman should tako advantage of this latirndo and adopt tho distinctive style which is best suited to her features. It is better even to sacrifice a littlo "high stylo" than to dress one's hair in a fashionablo way totally nnsnited to one's typo of face. New York Becorder. To 3Tako a Stock Collar. In making tho newest stock collars for very dressy use more than one material is used. For example, a folded collar of black velvet lined with cherry satin, with large rosettes at each side made of jetted velvet lined with the satin. Again, a fancy bow of pink satin ribbon arranged in front on a crush collar of wine colored velours. Two rows of golden brown satin edged faille ribbon form -a stock collar, finished with a rosetto of sago green chiffon placed each sido near tho front Another pretty col lar band is made of roso pink silk, the wrinkled effect produced by shirring tho silk at both edges. Directly in front aro set two fans of white lace, held down by a wrinkled crosspieco of the silk. Tho beautiful lace is wired to stand out stiffly about tho neck, and the softly falling fan ends nearly cover the top of the bodice. New Orleans Pica yune. Football. Woman seems now to havo a task be fore her in which we fear greatly she will faiL Beport goes that femalo foot ball teams will shortly contest in pub lic, and the problem is now, on the one hand, to make the performance grace ful, and, on tho other, to not spoil tho game. Those who havo witnessed the modern developments of that noble sport will probably doubt whether even women will bo able to harmonize such conflicting aims. Into this question wo will not enter. Whether tho real gamo played by women is n graceful or a dis- graceinl sight Mrs. Grundy must de cide, and whether tho gamo played in a ladyhko manner 13 worth looking at will doubtless Eoon bo settled by the polite frequenters of the football field, who, wo aro sure, will not bo backward in expressing their opinion. British .Medical Journal. The Isabella Colo. Mrs. P. H. Palmer, president of tho board of lay managers of tho World s Columbian commission, has issued a circular in which attention is called to tho Isabella coin recently minted by o: der of congress. The coin is intended to commemorate tho fac that a board of women was for tho first time called by tho government to tako official part in tho Columbian exposition and also to honor the great Queen Isabella, whose portrait it bears. Tho circular further states that tho profit realized from the sale of this coin shall be funded and tho interest employed to effect permanent Eervico to humanity. The price of tho coin is $1, and orders may bo addressed to tho Merchants' Loan and Trust com pany, Chicago. Tern Tables and Tea Trays. Tho most approved tea table this sea son is square two wooden trays mount ed on four spindle legs: Tho upper tray has an oval aperturo at cither end, so that it can bo carried across a room with ease. Such tables aro to bo found span now at tho furniture warehouses, but those that aro to be picked up at the bric-a-braa shops are valued much more highly. They aro not designed for their present use, of course, and are, in point of fact, qucridors of the latter part of tho last century. Some pretty trays for single or tete-a-toto sets aro made in the form of a three leafed shamrock. They are mostly in copper, the teapot and sugar basin of the same metal, and the cups and cream jug of whito eggshell china. The VelL The first requirement in a veil is that it shall bo of unstinted size, double width, unless it is to bo worn with a very small bonnet, and a' yard long, so that it may bo gathered up in generous folds over the hat brim and pinned a veil should never bo tied well up at the back of tho hat A better fit and a prettier effect are given by a littlo cluster of gathers directly in tho middle of the front It is to bo hoped that women will some time learn that veils figured with sprigs, or indeed anything but un obtrusivo dots, aro never becoming and make them look, as a man was heard to remark tho other day, "as if theii faces wero covered with flics."

It has long been a marvel that, al though foreigners sojourning In London havo accustomed themselves topraiso tho skill with which the street traffic of this world city is handled, yet none of them has carried the lesson home and put It into practice in his own town. Thero is no secret in the matter. The information can be had for the asking, and they that dwell in towns will be tho gainers by it Well, then, how did it come about? Go to Hydo park corner any day In tho season and watch tho streams of traffic as they flow in and out of the open space around the Wellington statue thousands of cabs, omnibuses, drays, private carnages, hand barrows; dog- , carts, bicycles every sort of thing that can go on wheels. Chaos would come again if itworo not for a policeman hero, another thero and one at the oppo site corner. Hamilton place, at tho bottom of Park lane, pours a strong current into Picca dilly. Two policemen get you through it without so much as a sneeze, s wink or a loss of breath! Without tho two policemen thero would be no getting through. One of them controls the traffic entering Hamilton place; tho other con trols the traffic leaving it A motion of the hand stops tho stream in PiccadiUy and lets tho stream from Hamilton placo flow in, or vice versa. No matter who you are, or what you ara driving in, or in how great a hurry you may be cab man or costermonger, dukedriving a four-in-hand, coachman of a prince, with his royal highness impatiently waiting in his red lined carriage you must stop when tho policeman's hand is raised, and yon may not go on again un til it is lowered. Break tho rule, and you shall see what happens a summons to the police court and a fine, whether you aro coster, cabman, dnko or his high mightiness himself. Is this antocracry or democracy? Call it what yon choose, it is good man agement Without it London would be impossible, because it would bo impass able. There is. no "slanging," no "sassing back," no pictnrcsquo objurgation of any sort If yon inaka a disturbance, so much tho worse for you, not for your bones, or for your flesh, but for your convenience and your pocketbook, and peradventuro yonr reputation as a peace able subject Tho policeman does not flourish a "billy." He does not carry one. He docs not abuse you or lay hands upon you. He is imperturbable, and ho produces a notebook and takes down your name and address, wishes yon good morning; and the next day yon aro sum moned to the polico court There Is bo shilly shally. Tho wholo thing is done on tho principle of paying the piper if yon chooso to dance. Boston Herald. Attacked by a Rhinoceros. The author of "Discovery of Lakes Budolf and Stefanio" had shot a zebra, and Ips men were making ready to cut it up, when two rhinoceroses appeared in the. distance. Apparently tho firing o; tho gun had disturbed" their riap"anrl mado them thoroughly angry. Though more than 400 paces off, tho rhinoceroses swerved aside when they saw ns and then dashed upon us with tho speed of raco horses. As usual, my black companions tcok to their heels, making for a solitary trco soma distance off. It was hopeless for mo to think of reaching it, and there was not so much as a blade of straw for cover anywhere. And behind the dead zebra, which would have been better than nothing, three of my men were already crouching. Thero was nothing for it but to brave the situation out, so I knelt on one knee, the better to take aim, and with my elephant gun in hand waited to fire tin. I could hope to kilL It seemed a long timo before I could cover tho shoulder of cither of the huge beasts, and I knew any other shot would bo useless. The result was that I did not pull the trig ger till one cf the animals was only some eight or ten paces off. It staggered and fell, but the next moment was on its feet again. It wa3 not killed, but its ardor was cooled, for it turned away, followed by its compan ion. Twice it seemed about to fall, and I did not think a second shot would be necessary, but it got away with undi minished speed, and though wo followed it for somo distance wo lost it Flea For Second Class Cars.
