STAND- After Fonr Tears of Investigation Japaa Decides to Discturd 811 re r. On March 1 it was cabled from Yoko hama that Japan had decided to adopt the gold standard at a ratio of 82 K to ' 1, the new standard to go into operation in October. This act, on top of many previous ones, moves Japan completely out of the j ranks of the semi-civilized and into those of Civilized and progressive nations. It . . . . Was not taken hastily, but after tWO years' consideration of an exhaustive re port made by the Japanese currency commission, appointed in 1893. This commission found that, while certain capitalists, especially those em ploying many laborers, were benefited by the falling silver standard, the wage earners were injured from the fact that their wages did not rise as fast as did the prices of what they had to buy. The report pointed out what every rational trader ought to know that a silver standard country can trade and compete with gold stand ard countries only after paying the loss on exchange in foreign trade. However, as the greater part of Japan's trade was with China and India, the two countries of Asia still using the silver standard, the disadvantage on this account was not considered great The silverites have lost with Japan some of their best capital. Of oourse they will tell us how "British gold" was used to bribe the government into betraying its people into the hands of the money power. They cannot, how ever, much longer tell us that we are unable to compete with Japan because she uses the silver standard. The truth is that Japan got tired of being a second rate nation and of work ing with second rate tools, and, after careful investigation, concluded to get rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios, which drives gold out of the country as fast as it can be coined and which re sults in the single silver standard, and to adopt the gold standard at a ratio with silver which will permit the use of both metals in her trade. It is a wise step. Japan is only one of four or five nations which have adopted the gold standard during the last 18 months. The Sound Money Propaganda. The decision of the silver men to con tinue their fight for the 50 cent dollar, despite the emphatic verdict of the peo ple in November, is appropriately fol lowed by the organization in New York of a sound money league, which is to be national in its character and in the scope of its work. From this time on till the next presidential election the dissemination of money facts and cor rect views as to money is to be contin ued. The most efficient agency of the last campaign was the sound currency com mittee of the New York Reform club, and its publications, each given to some one phase or the currency ques tion, were invaluable to speakers and writers. A sound basis for currency re form was thus laid in the minds of thou sands who were groping after the truth. These publications, it is stated, are to continue. An effort is to be made to widen the field of operations by a class of writings of a more popular character. In the south and west particularly hon est thinkers are to be supplied with ma- riul for progressive thought toward lund conclusions on the money ques tion. Much was done in six mouths of 8 Do to uproot tho erroneous ideas planted in five tours of populist agita tion. Lrrors had lurishcd simply bo- cuuso they hud not been confronted with fact. Now inouctitiy truth is to be as systematically inculcated as fullacy was, and the result cannot but be sTiost wholesome. Bultiimiro Sun. Ilryan Id the East.

Clever Clowns Are HarA to eear Some) Well-Known Ferforsaers. A comparison between English and Amerioan pantomime will result favor ably in many particulars for the Amer ican, because novelty is sadly lacking in the former, says an exchange. Tiit English clown makea his appearance on the stage with a "Here we are eguin" with a certainty that only equals the coming of death and rent clay. Hump-ty-Dumpty, Columbine, the poi:c: mun and all other funny people are as stere otyped as three meals a day, and our cousins across the water look upon them with open-eyed astonishment year after year, with a stoicism that borders on the ridiculous. If the same tactics were followed by purveyoraof that class of entertainment here, how long would it last? With the American insatiable thirst for novelty we should say but a very short time. Pantomimists like the famous Gri maldi and IJavel families do not flourish now, and the pantomime must combine great spectacular features and in genious devices as well as comedy ele ments. Pantomime has never been suc cessfully engrafted on Amor'can soil; otherwise it would be an institution a every larg city in the land. But when ever it was well done it always paid well. Years ag the Ravels came to New York and became the craze of the town. Francois, the father of the fam ily, could, set the house ini a roar by walking across the stage, and poor George Fox, who was the best panto Tnimls't the United States ever pro duced, was a good successor to Francois Ravel.

It is probably not lamented n many quarters, ab it is certainly un- healthful, difficult to care for, a.nd not pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses, blankets, pillows, and other articles of bedding, however, require much oare, to be kept odorless and clean. The main enemies to mattresses are ust, damp and moth, and frequent brushiDg must be given them, for in an ncredibly short time they will harbor ust all along the edges and where the button is fixed. A loose cotton cover over the mattress, made to button neat ly at one end, also goes a long way toward keeping it clean. This can be ashed and changed as often as need be without much trouble or expense. It is very important to air all the bedding thoroughly. Every article Bhould be daily taken off and laid setxiratelv over chair and a strong current of air should be allowed to circulate through the room before the clothes are re placed. The mattress should be turned daily and from end to end. as this in ures it being worn more evenly, and not sinking in the middle. Blankets are a difficulty to many peo- le, mostly because they cannot moke p their minds as to how often thev should be washed, nor how they should be treated. In many houses they are washed only once a year; but somhow that does seem rather too rare a pro ceeding, un the ot her hand, it is really n,ot necessary to have them washed more tlmn twice a year; but they must have proper care in the interval in the shape of airing, shaking, etc. A washing ma chine is very srood for the nurDOse. specially as they should never be rubbed by the hand. The water should be only lukewarm, and a little soap well athemi in the water is all that will be required. Wring the blankets vcrv dry through a wringer, shake them out nnd wash again in the same way, wring' ug eacn time, until they are quite clean. Do not rinse them, but null them nto shape and hong them out in the sun, which is a great help to preserving gooa color. iloston Globe. STORY OF A RING. It Proved an IU Omen to AU Whs Owned It, It la stated upon what appears to be good authority that in one of the park in the Spanish capital city of Madrid magnificent ring hangs by a silken cord about the neck of the statue of the Maid of Almodma, the patron saint of Madrid. This ring, nay Hartter'a Hound Table, though set with diamonds and pearls, is nevertheless entirely un guarded. The police pay no attention to it, nor ia there any provision made for watching It by special officers, be cause It U not believed that any thief however daring, would venture to ap' proprlate it to hi own use; and whun the history of the ring is considered, it la hardly to be wondered at that a su persUUous people prefer to give it wide berth. According to the wtory that U told of it, the ring was made for King Alfonso XII., tho father of the prewnt king of Spain. Alfonno pre sented it to hi cousin, Mercedca, on the day of their betrothal. How short her married life was all know; and on her death the king presented the ring to his grandmother, Queen Christina Shortly afterwards Queen Christina died, and the kinrf gave the ring to his sister, the Infant del Pilar, who died within the month following. 1 he ring iva then given to the youngont daugh U"r of tho Duo do Montpeimicr. In 1 than three mouths she died, and Al fonwo, by this time fearing that Hi or was some unlucky omen connected with the baablc, put itiiw uy In bin own trvne ure box. In lens than a year the king himself died, ajid it was deemed best to put. the ring away from all the liv ing. Hence It wo hung about the neck if th bronze rfilgy of the Maid of Al modmn, where It pir to be na safe a though surrounded by a ronton of police.

' Rudyard Kipling is usually repre sented as being very cold and distant tc young newspaper men, and proof against their efforts to interview him There is evidently a kind side to his na ture, however, as is shown by n story that is told by the Literary Digest. Ir regard to the statement in an Austra lian paper that he landed on that islam1 at 12 o'clock and 16 minutes later "had formulated an Australian policy," Mr. Kipling, according to the Digest.makes the following explanation: "A young reporter cornered me just after I landed. I treated him kindly, but said firmly that I was not to be inter viewed. 'I have not thought of inter viewing you,' replied the reporter, with a sadness in his voice. 'I ask a much greater favor than that.' It turned out that the reporter had an Australian nolicy which he knew would be of the greatest benefit to the country. No paper would print it. His modest re quest was that Kipling would let him put forth his theory as the scheme of the novelist. 'They will print it,' he said, 'if I give it as coming from you.' 'All right,' agreed Kipling, 'fire ahead.' So the young reporter got in four mortal columns telling the people of Australia how to govern their country. 'I never read the article, Mr. Kipling placidly says, 'but there musthaVe been amazing theories in it fromthestorm.it raised.' " I An Unexpected Answer. On a recent Sunday night a minister was preaching in Belfast, when a young man in the congregation, getting weary of the sermon, looked repeatedly at his watch. Just as he was in the act of ex amining his timepiece for the fourth or fifth time, the pastor, with great earn estness, was urging the truth upon the conscience of his hearers. "Young man," said he, " how is it with you?" Whereupon the young man with the gold repeater bawled out, in the hearing of nearly the whole congregation: "A quarter past eight." As may be sup posed, the gravity of the assembly was very much disturbed by the occurrence. Their Impudence. Certain young Indian gentlemen who are pursuing the study of the law in London were invited by the master of the Temple to pass an' evening at his house. The time fixed for the as sembling of the interesting party ar rived, but nobody came. When near ly an hour had passed in fruitless wait ing the master's lady rang for the maid a new one, as it hannened. not vet quite accustomed to the ways of tho house. She entered in a state of consid erable excitement. "Have none of tho gentlemen arrived?" asked her mis tress. "No," answered the domestic. "but a lot of impudent nigger minstrels has been a-ringin' at the bell, and I have been a-drivm' 'em away, mum!" Piles! Piles! Itching Piles.
