We have much more silver in use than any country in the world except India or China —5500,000,000 more than Great Britain, $160,000,000 more thaa France, $400,000,000 more than Ger many, 1825,000,000 lew than India, and $115,000,000 less than China. It is not proposed by the Republican party to take from the circulating medium of the country of the silver we now have. On the contrary, it is proposed to keep all of the silver money now in dr eolation on a parity with gold by main taining the pledge of the government that all of it shall be equal to gold.— William McKinley in His Letter of Ac ceptance. Brjr*n’» Happy State of Mind. The theory that free coinage will make and keep the silver dollar equal in value to the gold dollar rests upon absolutely nothing but Mr. Bryan's incessantly expressed personal belief. Fixed belief is a happy state of the mind. One of the strongest cases of be lief I ever met with was a man who in flexibly believed that he was the pops of Rome and could, if he would, fetuh down the moon. He was under treaU ment by a specialist for mental yeoed Atlanta, Ga. Jan.

One of the most fierce of al! the insect tribe is the ant lion. ’This bitter enemy of the ants is a monster in form, but is hardly more than half an inch long. Its body is flat and covered with little bunch es of spiny hairs. It has six legs that look feeble enough, but it has a head and pair of jaws that are as terrible as those of an alligator. - Unable to move rapidly or to fly, the ant lion gains its food by its wisdom. It makes pitfalls in the sand, down which the ants slide to certain death. For th. purpose of digging this trap it hunts a spot of loose and dry sand under the shel ter of a ledge or old wall or at the foot of a tree. In such place* ants are sure to be running about. Having found a place for the pitfall the ant lion makes in the sand a little round ditch about two inches across. Placing itself on the inside of this circle It thrusts the hind part of its body under the sard. Using one of its fore legs aa a shovel it puts a load of sand on its head which is square and flat. Then it gives its head a jerk which tosses the sand to a distance of several inches out side the circle. This process is done over (the insect always moving backward) until another furrow is made. Turning and moving backward in the other direc tion the third furrow is made inside the second circle. This is done over until the ant lion reaches the center of the funnel inner side of the circle and makes the hole always deeper. If tbe ant lion finds a pebble in the way, it carefully rolls it on to its back and backs out of the pit with it. Failing In this, It digs a hole and buries the troublesome stone. When the pit is done, it is. a bout two Inches deep in the center, at which spot the ant lion takes its place, burying all but its terrible jaws from view. Pretty soon an ant in search of food reaches the pit, looks down, sees two odd looking prongs in the bottom and starts to find out what they are. Then the sand begins to give way and the scared ant tries to crawl out. If it seems about to do this, the ant lion loads its head with sand and snaps the sand at the ant. This is done so quickly that the poor ant is struck by shower after shower of sand and knocked back into the pit. After the ant lion has sup ped on the juices of the aot it tosses the carcass out of the pit, fixes what ever damages may have been done In the capture and awaits another ant. Tbs ant lion will not take a dead insect, It wants to do its own killing. After two years of this tricky life this ogre of the pit makes for itself a cocoon of sand, fastened together and lined with silk of fine texture and color. On the outside this cocoon looks like a little ball of sand a boot half an inch through. At the end of two months the cocoon is torn open and a large and beautiful fly, looking like a dragon fly, crawls out ami enfolds its damp wings. Thus the fierce creature of the pitfall becomes a beauti ful dandy of the insect world, which flits In the sunshine a few days and dies, after having laid some eggs that will hatch out More ant lions.—Philadelphia Inquirer. “THE PLAIN PEOPLE." I Bryan'* Ab*nrd Effr-' CUm tin® i i a -uerlca. I The talk about ine plain people that has just emanated from the Bryan na- J tional campaign committee, and is of. ten heard from Bryan himself and his supporters, is ridiculous or mischievous, lor both. It is an attempt to create a ) class that does not exist in this country and to divide American citizens by lines . which are fraudulent in the case of I those who make the distinction and ’ imaginary in those who accept it There • is no ‘‘plain people” class in this conn | try. it would be interesting to learn ■ how those who are glibly using the I term define its meaning. The truth is i that, if there are plain people, they per , vade all classes, or all classes that have the spirit of Americanism in them. There are people of various degrees of in/elligence and of wealth, and of different occupations with a view to earning a living and doing their work in the world, but there is no class which has a monopoly of • ‘plainness. ” Illiterate people are not plainer than n tel j igen t people.

On meet in 8 again this does not constitute an acquaintance, and they do not bow. When a caller rises to take leave, she first shakes hands with her hostess, then with others present whom sbe knows. These rise to say good by—the ladies al once resume their seats and the gentle men remain standing till she has left the room. The ladies to whom she merely bows do not from their •euta, though all the gentlemen present do so, whether they are known to her or not. The host should accompany her to the door, or, in his absence, any friend of the family on sufficiently io timate terms to take his place. In any case he opens the drawing room door for her. If several gentlemen are pres ent, this office is performed by the one nearest the door. A formal call should not extend over ten minutes or a qnar ier of an hour. When a guest rises to take leave, the hostess rings for a serv ant to show her out When she is the only guest present or of higher consid eration than those staying behind, the hostess should go to the door of the drawing room with her. A Door Hinge Screen. Some door hinges are thing* of beauty, and others are embodiments of ugliness, but it is not solely for the purpose of hiding the latter that these screens were originated. They are sup posed to be accompaniments to the door chain, which is so often useful in sum mer, when people wish to leave a door •lightly ajar for the purpose of getting fresh air. When's door is slightly open, there is often a space at the hinges wide enough to reveal the room within, and it is to cover this space that the door hinge screen f B used. The Puritan in this connection gives some helpful hints about makhjg these screens: A very pr-etty one was made of dresden ribbon aoout eight inches wide.
