SILVER
HOLVTION OF TJlE
rnonLEif.
There is a chance that the silver ques
tuin miv he settled after all within the
next few years, and in a way which the
disputants on neither side of the contro
rersy hare dreamed of. At the time of
the discovery of gold in California in
1848 about 10.90 ounces of silver would
purchase 1 oudcc of gold. The addition
made to the world's stock of gold by
California, which was further increased
by the big finds in Australia beginning
in 1851, so cheapened the ytilow material
with respect to the white that 15.21
ounces of silver would buy an ounce of
gold in the world's market about the
time of the beginning of the American
" Civil War. A few years later the great
silver discoveries in Nevada arrested the
tendency of gold to drop ia price, and
produced the contrary conditions. It
was silver then which cheapened, and
the value of gold was seat upward. Thi
broke the ratio between the metals which
had been maintained within small limitj
of variation for more than a hundred
years up to that time. A still further
divergence in values was created by silver
demolarization by Germany in 1873 and
by the virtual closing two or three years
later of the mints of the Latin Union
countries to that metal. For the past
three years silver has been so low that
about 20 ouncea of it would be require-
to buy 1 ounce in gold, and the silver
bullion in the standard dollar is worth
in the market about 75c.
There is a faint probability that a par
tial solution of the silver problem may
be at hand. If the reports be true which
tell ot gold discoveries in Lower Califur
mi the world may be on the eve ot a
new and radical change in the conditions
which Ceterniine the prices of the money
metals. The confirmation of the stor es
of the extent and richness of the gold
fields of Northwestern Mexico would at
once strengthen the silver market. An
immediate and important expansion
the world's gold supply which that would
produce would send the value of the yel
low metal downward, and, preciprocallv.
end the value of the white metal up
ward. It is even possible that the change
might continue Ions? enough and extend
far enough to make the relative commer
cial value of silver to gold as sixteen to
one, at which point the standard "dollar.
as bullion, would command one hundred
cents iu the world's markets. Such a
change would have a benficial and last-
ins effect on business in every nation on
the globe. It would at once banish the
peril which is present in every country iu
which silver forms a large part of the
circulating medium, remove the restraint
which fetter so m&nv branches of trade
at the present time, and usher in an era
of prosperity and material advancement
such as tke world has not yet exper
ienced. Globe Democrat

Does it seem possible that only one
hundred years ago, when Washington
was inagurated in New York the first
president of the United States, that the
city was then a small place, sixty times
mailer than the present day, or baying
only about thirty thousand inhabitants?
How New York City looked at that
time and the customs of the
residents, are graphically told and
beautifully illustrated in Demoresfs

has just arrived. At this time, when the
Centennial of the inauguration of Wash
' ington is about to be celebrated, this
article will be greatly appreciated; and
those who purchase the April number of
this popular magazine will be repaid,
not only by this, but by numerous other
attractions, not the least of which are the
beautifully illustrated article on ''Birds,"
by Olive Thorne Miller; "Young Japan

the children for new games: 'Home?

Saddling and Hiding-an Enraged Itull Two
l'uoli Who Will Take No More Daring;
rromrniuln Women Become ae Excited
and Clamorous as the Men.
The national eport of these countries,
which npo the customs of their Spanish
ancestors, is the bull fight; but in the
skill shown by the professionals the exhi
bitions cannot be compared to those of
Havana or of larger Mexican towns. Not
having any bull ring in Trujillo, the
plaza was fenced in on three sides with
heavy oak, the fourth side of the square
being the fronts of a line of houses, whose
occupants, during the continuance of the
fight, could not leave their homes with
out stepping out of the front door into
tho bull ring. No sport is so attractive
to the Honduranian as this, and he blocks
out his time so well that the seductive
game of poker, which he calls "pokar,"
is never going on when his desire is to
bo in the plaza. The fenco was covered
with urchins from miles around, and
many foolhardy "ladinos, or half
breeds, were daring their acquaintances
to walk nnn in arm around tho ring
while tho enraged animal was being tor
tured by tho picadors. On two different
occasions during tho hour I was watching
tho bull twico left his tormentors and
butted through those taking their daring
promenade, and with such success that
two fools were killed before tho trained
bull fighters could control the bulL
A DANGEROUS RIDS.
Of six bulls but one was deemed
worthy of being killed; but in obodienc0
to tho yells and demands of the specta
tors, tho ceremony of saddling and rid
ing the brute had to be done before the
death, which requires what seems at
first the most reckless disregard of dan
ger. A rope is thrown, over the bull's
horns, with which he is dragged to the
fence, his head held close to the ground,
roaring with rage, while a strong saddle
U securely buckled on with two heavy
horsehair girths. The moment this is
done a cowboy, or "vaquero, jumps
into the saddle, the bull is let loose, and
goes roaring and plunging and bucking
with rage around the ring. The vaquero
tortures the brute with spiked spurs, and
after each contortion or unsuccessful at
tempt to unseat his rider, comes the
spontaneous and deafening applause
from the spectators, which increases the
animal's rage.
Great agility and strength is necessary,
and tho rider fairly takes his life into his
oini hands when he springs on the beast.
He id nnablo to dismount until the bull
is tired out with his tremendous exer
tions, and then he is again dragged to the
fenco to bo unsaddled. Tho vaquero I
saw was twenty-fivo minutes in the sad
dle, pad when ready to dismount fell ex
!iau5ied into tho arms of his companions,
too weak to walk to his quarters; and it
ivas his grit and will power only that
prevented him from being thrown, gored
and stamped to death by the infuriated
bull during tho last five minutes of the
performance.
When tho bull had been enraged to the
satisfaction of all, loud cries camo from
every throat for tho "matador," who
was no moro than a dark skinned mix
ture of negro and Carib. and a day
la'x-rt-r in Trujillo. Tho cries had hardly
died away, when tho slight, symmetrical
figure of tho matador appeared, facing
tho bull on the other .side of the ring as
tho oxliausted picadors retired. IIo was
dressed in chamois trousers, with a tight
fitting black velvet blouso beautifully
embroidered in gold and silver bullion,
whilj on his head was the regulation
cocked hat, with black ostrich plumes.
Tin; ARTISTIC SLAYER.
For an instant the bull glared at his
new enemy, who stood basnlully tapping
his K g with his sword as the noise ceased.
The animal seemed to appreciate why
the matador was there, and with brute
instinct rushed on him head down to raise
liim oil ids horns. The suspense was
great as the bull drew near, but not a
muscle of the matador moved. When
tho animal's horns were but two feet
from the motionless man, he quietly
stepped aside and planked two spiked
rods, one with each hand, in the animal's
shoulders. The bull roared with rage and
plowed up the earth n his efforts to
stop in his headlong rush, and to return
n to the matador. Three times the
infuriated bull charged him, and three
times the matador carelessly planted the
two spikes, when the spectators demanded
the death of the bulL The man merely
examined the point of his sword, stepped
asldjj as before, dexterously plunged his
weapon to its hilt between the shoulder
blades until it pierced thp heart, and tho
animal fell quivering in death at his feet.
Tho enthusiasm knew no bounds; men
threw their has over into the ring, emp
tied their pockets of money, while the
ladies threw their fans, gloves and dainty
handkerchiefs as a tribute to the skill of
the matador. The commoa people made
:h across the fence, md despite his
protestations, the hero of the day was
soon being carried around the ring on
their choulders amid the applause of hun-
dreds of pleased natives. Cor. New York

A PHOTOGRAPHER'S TRIALS.
Pa-
Kxtravagrant Demand Ilia Skill,
tlenc and Good Nature. '
a. pnoiograpner meets witn many
strange characters and is a witness of
many curious incidents. In a recent in
formal talk before the Society of Amateur
Photographers, Abraham Bogardus, the
veteran photographer, told a number of
amusing stories of incidents that hap
pened to him in the course of his forty
one years experience in the studio and
dark room, lie prefaced his talk with a
few sarcastic remarks regarding young
men who write long screeds in photo
graphic papers on how to take photo
graphs, whom the experiences of a single
day "under the skylight" would cause
them to wish they had never been born.
He then went on to speak of the un
reasonable demands which many sitters
make.
"At one time," he said, "a lady
brought three children, two boys and a
girl, to me, to have their pictures taken.
They came all prepared, with a doll for
the girl and a gun and a hobby horse for
the boys. 'Well, there was a row at the
start. Doth boys wanted to mount the
horse. We got that settled after a time,
but only to strike a new trouble. Of
course you all know that the nearer to
gether you group the objects to be photo
graphed the better picture you will get.
Well.this woman was a genius in her way;
she did not want her children groyned
close together as other people's were, but
she wanted the little girl taken in the
middle of the room and the boys off in
opposite corners. Of course I told her
it could not be done, whereupon she
said: 'Well, Mr. Bogardus, I have always
been told that you were very accommo
dating. I have been to three or four
photographers and they all told me the
same thing. J don't see as you are any
more accommodating than the rest of
them.' At another time a man, an Irish
man, of course, wanted a carte-de-visito,
and he wanted it 'life size.' Some peo
ple, by the way, never seem to under
stand the difference between 'full length'
and 'life size.' I told him that the plate
wouldn't hold it 'Then take it with the
legs hanging down, were his instruc
tions. Gen. Logan, who used to sit for
me, did not often joke, but he did occa
sionally. He came in one day and saw
hanging on the wall a picture of a man
whom he greatly disliked. He turned
to me and said : 'I see you take pictures
of everybody. 'Yes, was my answer;
'that is what I am here for.' 'I suppose
you would take a picture of the devil if
you could get him' to ait for you.' 'Of
course. I suppose I could run off a good
many of them in Washington I 'Yes,
he replied ; 'that's the best place in the
world to sell them.
"An old lady once came to me who
wanted a picture, 'full face, but a little
three cornered. J once asked Dr. Tyng
if he would not prefer a side view, and
he replied: lNo, sir. I am an upright
man. I don't turn to the right or left
for any man.' But amid all tho fun we
also see some very sad things. I remem
ber pnee a woman came in with a bundle
in her arms which when unrolled proved
to be the dead body of her little babyj
which she wanted photographed. I re
member once one of our venerable
judges came in with his wife. I took
both then pictures. He was perfectly
satisfied with his, but she did not seem
exactly pleased with hers, said it was too
old. The judge turned to her and re
marked: 'Well, mother, if you wanted
a handsome picture you should have be
gun thirty years ago.' That settled ii;
she had nothing more to say. A lady
came to me once to make an appoint
ment for a friend who, she said, was
very difficult to suit. She had tried
dozens of photographers and had never
been suited. Of course I promised to
do the best I could for her. At the ap
pointed time the lady came. She was
old, and weighed at least 200 pounds.
Her skin looked like a boiled lobster, and
she was clad in low neck and short
sleeves. I did not wonder she was never
suited. Well, I did my best, but when
the picture was made she acrreed with
mo perfectly that it did look horrid. She
did not order any of them." New York
Tribune.
Looking tor Her Pocket,
"I see you have been poking fun at
women's pockets," said a lady friend to
the Stroller. "I am glad of it. Why, it
has got so now that a woman has to get
out a search warrant to find the pocket
in a dress when it comes home from the
dressmaker. We had a funny case in
point in our women's missionary meeting
at the church. The leader of the meeting
had just finished reading a most affect
ing appeal from our lady missionary in
Caffraria, and there was a solemn pause
of expectant attention til) some sister
should feel moved to speak. Presently
a white haired old lady a mother in
Israel rose slowly and feebly to her
feet. All pyes were turned upon her,
and we waited to see whether she wished
to make a few remarks or lead in prayer,
One hand, incased in its wrinkled black
kid glove, went - fumbling and groping
among the folds of her skirt. After a

Paper from Wood.
The discovery of the value of wood in
paper making is credited to Or. II. II.
Hill, of tlus city. About forty years ago
the doctor visited the paper milLat Vas
sallKro, and after looking over the ma
chinery suggested the feasibility of using
wood, and asked w hy the manufacturers
did not get a few bales of excelsior from
Augusta, where it was made, and try the
experiment of making paper from wood.
"It can't be done, said tho manufactur
ers. "Have not you as much gumption
as the hornets, whose nests are made of
wood paper? asked the doctor. The re

"WlUlnp to Oblige thm Jury.
An amusing line was spoken in Judge
Garrison's court, in Camden, the other
day.
A gawky Jerseyman was on the wit
ness stand, and, instead of speaking so
that the jury could hear him, he per
sisted in mumbling his answers to his
counsel. Finally the judge said:
"Will you kindly speak so that these
gentlemen can hear you?" pointing to
the jury.
- The up countryman turned around
and found the twelve men all in an atti
tude of strained' attention. His face
thereupon lighted up with a half grate
ful and half flattered expression, and he
replied: "Why, certainly. Are they in
terested in my case?"
And from this point on he made a bet
ter witness, feeling, as he did, that he
had an audience that wanted to listen to
him. Philadelphia Pcc&& . . - .
