The trade of France last year
reached a total of 1.901,800,000, an
increase over 1894 of S117.800.000.
France is a gold standard country,
and refutes in its history and pres
ent condition every argument ad
vanced by slver fanatics. Ex.
Bryan, thus far, has not made
any more enrapturing prophecies
for tree silves than he did for free
trade four years ago. It was going
to bring a kind of millennium to
the millions of tired, overworked
men on the farms and in the ma
chine shops. It did give a lot of
them "a long rest," and they are
resting yet, and don't like it.

It is true, as Speaker Reed says,
that distrust brought on the hard
times, and that the way to restore
good times is to remove distrust by
turning" down the silverites. In
other words, we cannot expect to
have prosperity so long as the
menace of a dishonest dollar re
mains to prevent the investment ot
capital and to discourage all sorts
of business enterprises. Globe

Tle free silverites contend that
if all the silver in the world should
be coined at the rate of SI. 29 an
ounce, or at a ratio of 16 to 1 with
gold. Its value would thereby be in
creased to that figure; and many
honest people are deceived by this
method of stating the case. As a

not ensue. The promise of it is based

Radcliffe Women.
The Radcliffe women look much more
ike representatives of Harvard univer
sity in their college caps and gowns.
Last year there was not quite enough
academic reality in the vision of the
Radcliffe candidates for Harvard de
grees at their first appearance on the
stage of Sanders theater. But this year
the deficiency ib made good, and alma
mater has her sons on the one hand and
her daughters on tho other, wearing
similar attire. The summer day may
not be far in the nest century future
when Harvard will graduate all her
bachelors on the same commencement
day, instead of a half day or so apart,

Mec, Not Women, Fainted.
It is rather a striking fuct that in the
recent examination held at Oxford, the
great examination week of the uni
versity year, the faintings and similar
demonstrations supposed to be peculiarly
feminine were entirely confined to the
masculine candidates. The result, as re
gards acquirement of knowledge, can
only be discussed on the publication of
the class lists, but the women students
harve every one gone through the ordeal
nobly from a physical point of view,
while one man collapsed suddenly m a
dead faint and several retired tempo
rarily, overcome in lesser degree by
similar weakness. Woman.
Miss Loulae McAllister.
There i3 rumor of one instance in
which publishers seek a writer and the

Louise jMcAllister, daughter of the late

erary style is no less crisp and charming
than her knowledge of society, at home
and abroad, is thorough. But she reso
lutely declines to torn her talents to ac
count in the way the publishers ask.
