The German Stock of Silver- One of the unsolved problems of the silver question is the amount, of that metal Germany has on hand to throw upon the market when the price of silver rises to the point she has de cided to sell at. It appears from an analysis of the London tables of ex ports and imports of silver, that the tide has turned, and that Germany is no? buying silver of England. In $877 the net imports of silver from Germany were $GS,414.G90. The next year the net imports were only $12, 627,630, and in the Gist quarter of the present year Germany cfrew from England a net amount of 2,661,203. A comparison of corresponding periods shows that the change is not due to the season. The German government sold silver when there was a tempo rary recovery in prices, but' did not even supply the contiguous empire of Austria, which drew largely from London. As a stock of idle silver is non-productive while interest is paid ir the money with which- it was pur chased, the German stock must be re duced pretty low or a material appre ciation of price Itfe anticipated. There is very little doubt that silver bullion will appreciate when it is known that the German stock is nearly or quite exhausted. Dr. Potter made a good- suggest ion at the tenement house meeting in New York, recently. It was that tenement houses should be built, not on lots of twent3T-five feet by one hundred, but on lots one hundred - feet, or, better still, two hundred feet square. These large structures, he thought, could bo built by joint stock companies, in which some of the ten ants might themselves become invest ors, and thus have an interest in the protection and' care of the buildings. The great demoralizing agency in the present system is the want of air and light. The foulnes3 of the atmosphere caused by the crowding together of a large number of human, beings in a small space, the lack of ventilation bad sewerage and absence of cleanli ness imperils public health, risks a pestilence, degrades- those who live within its influence and kilta off children with frightful rapidity No sufficient-light or ventilation can be secured ftv a- l'arge building with twety-five feet frontage and its sides enclosed by other structures. suscellaneous E.

Miss Henrietta Spencer, aged 38, born in Garland, Me., died in south' Boston April 14th, after a short ill ness, of pneumonia and typhoid fever. She had been blind 28 years. She was educated at the institution for the blind at south Boston, where for the past ten years she has supported herself by running a sewing machine in the workshop connected with the institution. Working by the piece, as she did, it often became difficult to obtain more- than the bare necessities of life. She wa3 an expert in bead and worsted work, which she did when her hands were not otherwise em ployed. She had remarkable courage, a very pleasant disposition, and had many friends, who look upon their loss as her ga n. She leaves no rela tives, her parents having been dead twenty years. The cause of her blind ness was the bursting of a percussion cap by a playmate, pieces of the cap entering her eves.

The practice avoids much confusion, particularly on fre quented walks. The rule has been so thoroughly established that any per son found violating it, is set down as an ignor.unus. People now take the right side as regular !is they do when driving on a roud. This being so, common sense suggests that ladies should always walk at the right side of gentlciifn when going m couples. If they do that, Indies will never be jostled wh n meeting other persons the geortMii.n thus being always on the si5 f contact with people coining from op rsite directions.
