A Standard of Value.
Our monetary standard is nothing
but a. measure of values. Upon its sta-
bility depend growth and prosperity. It
must be recognized as the very best—
abroad as well as at home—if our ac-

leading nations of the world is to con-
tinue and deve.op.

A LARGE MAGNET.
[a Used in Searching for Metal which May
Have Gotten Into the Eye.
Almost everybody knows that the
best way of extracting metal particles
from the eye is by the use of a hand
magnet. The idea, however, of em-
ploying for this purpose a magnet of
sufficient power to lift 16 pounds
seems at first somewhat hard to com-
prehend, but such an eye doctor has
been found the best adapted to the re-
quirements of a New York hospital.
The eye is brought close to the mag:
net, which is 24 inches long, and if the
particle of metal is merely adhering to
the surface of the eye-ball, instead of
penetrating the tissue, it leaps in a
twinkling from this eye—ball to the
magnetic surface. It is, however, in
cases in which the metal is imbedded
in the eye that thic‘special usefulness
l of the powerful magnet 'is seen. In
such cases the gouge or bistoury has
to be used. and formerly the surgeon
was unable to locate the speck, and of-
ten had to cause the patient great
pain, even when the eye had been co—
cainized, before the extraction could
be made. Now the whereabouts of
the foreign substance is told in a sec-
ond. The. attraction of the magnet
causes the surface of the eyeball be-
neath which the bit of metal is lodged
to bulge out, showing the exact posi-
tion of the particle, and the surgeon
inserts his instrument without the
slightest fear of having made a mis-
:akc.——St. J amos Globe-Democrat.
BATH IN THE DEAD SEA.
The “'ater is Remarkably Buofmnt, but
Not. Good to Taste.
A tourist who visited the Holy Land
a few yours ago .wrote as follows;
"Reaching at last this most rem-ark-
able of all the seas and lakes on thr:
globe (the Dead Sea.) we prepared ts
take a bath, such as I can hardly even
expect to take again. I had previously
bathed in numerous sens, lakes and riv
Oi's, but never did I enjoy such a bath
as this. The specific gravity of thé
water is such, from its holding in solo
tion so large a proportion of salt, 261/,
per cent, that one floats upon its sur-
face like acork. At the time there
was but a gentle ripple upon the sea
and being a. good swimmer I at once
struck out into deep water. I soor
found out that I could not only swirr
and float with wonderful case, but that
Icould actually walk in the water,
sinking only to the shoulders. Should
his eyes or month, he would suffer con
siderable abatement in his en-
joyment, on account of its ex-
tremely salt, bitter and irritating na-
ture. Nov fish can live in this sea; but
various kinds of, ducks abound here at
certain seasons of the year. The water
was as clear as ordinary sea. water; its
temperature was agreeable, and it has
an oily foeling.”—New York Times.

The Two Front Ones \Vere Extracted by
Eurglars in Order to Get the Stones.
Mrs. Galvin. whose husband is on-
gaged in the commission business in
San Francisco, went to Portland, Ore-

Mrs. Calvin, who is a. handsome no

tim of a fad that prevailed at that
time. She had two valuable dia-

Whales are Hard to Find.
The motive which has begun a new
period of Antarctic explorations is
very evident and definite, indeed. The
supply of right whales has practically

not worth nearly so much as in the

candles they are worth $12,000 per

three candles are so light that it would
require nearly 1,500,000 of them to

LADIES
I want to have a little serious talk with you about bicycles. Of course
you believe your present wheel is perfection and that no other ma-
chine rivals it, but
you ever noticed that while riding your bicycle, either slowly, at
good speed, or on a windy day, your skirt is continually drawn betWeen
the guard and rear wheel ?
no doubt have been thrown off by this disagreeable catching of your
skirt, or have torn it until you are disgusted with wheeling
agent selling bicycles will tell you your dress is too long or not the
proper style, but this is not true. Your dress is all right and becom-
ing. The fault lies with the wheel. The guard does not extend back-
ward far enough over the Wheel, nor has it the right pitch. The only
two wheels on the market that will not catch your skirt are sold by
me. One is the
and the other is the Saracen. To be convinced that I am right, stop
at my store at any time and try either of these wheels.

Slides almwfimfiorch‘iefs.
A lady is said to. be shown by these
two accessories of her toilet, and few
people realize how much the styles in
both vary. '
The heavily embroidered handker-
chief is quite unknown at present,
however handsome it may be, and only
the faintest touch of work is permissi-
ble, unless it be in a monogram, which
is preferably simple. The handker-
chief oftenest seen is of the sheer-est
linen cambric, a plain simple Square. or
bordered with real Valenciennes lace
m a very narrow edge.
The spring shoe is round of toe, the
point“ having left us, except for even
lng slippers. These are almost invariv
ably made of silk to match the gown
worn, or are of plain black or white
silk or satin. No leather shoe, except a
patent leather—and that seldom—is
ever worn within doors. The house is
the place for silk shoes.
Tan shoes are as popular as ever.
and they are made strongly and sub-
stantially for walking, with thick Sch»:
and round toes. The smart woman will
not try to make a pretty. dressy shoe
Of her tan boo-t. It is incongruous.
When she needs a pretty shoe. the pat.-
ent leather is at her hand—or foot.
A Beautiful r-iece of Silk.
The Empress of Germany has iltltl
the material for a gown made which,
when completed. was so beautiful that
she would not allow it to be desecrat-
3d by the scissors of a dressmaker.
The material is of Silvery white silk,
upon which is a raised pattern of flow- ‘
are, foliage and bright-plumaged birds.
the Whole stands out in bold relief,
and is such a masterpiece of work
that the Empress immediately gave or—
ders to have it made into curtains.
I‘he work was done by one skilled
weaver, who worked months on it. He.
received twenty dollars a yard for the
work. in addition to his regular pay,
and the price of the silk when it was
completed was $120 a yard—Chicago
