Thev hail been to France where they reacheil a complete and satisfactory ' understanding with the French t government, and the envoys 1 would have the co operation in ^ this matter of the French ambas- ' sador in London. * The senator then explained s that the success of the missile do- | ponded upon the attitude (Ireati Britain would take, and he re : (guested (ireat Britain to agree < to open the Lnglish mints j ( as its contriluition to the attempt ' to restore international bimetal 1 li.-in, with Franco and the Fnited I Slates Co-operating together in an ' attempt to that end. I'he Manjuis of Salisbury asked if ,l Franco was ready to open her 1 mints to free coinage, and Sen j ator Woleott replied ' yes." 1 ! The premier thereupon inquired at what ratio France would open ( her mints. j c Senator Woleott said at 1"> 1 - t adding that the American envoys ( had accepted this ratio. f The senator then presented the' < following li-~t of contributors. which, among others, he suggest ' ed (ireat Britain might make: l Sui;K<">ii<>ii<i to llridiin. 1 l'irst, the opening; of tin* mints ] .and the repeal of the order making the soverign legal tender in \ I ndia. i Second, placing one tilth of thcj^ bullion in the issue department i * of the Iiank of England in silver, i Third, raising the legal tender j limit of silver to, say. 10 pounds,! and issuing 20 shilling notes. 1 based on silver, which shall be 11 legal tender, and the retirement.:1 in graduation or otherwise, of the ; 1 If t<*:i smiling goi<i pieces and th o 1 substitution ot paper based ?<n > * silver.

The French ambassador wri nvited to declare tlie positio ?f the French government, an le said France was ready to re >pen her mints to the coinage < ilver if the commercial nation idopted the same course, and h till advocated ai great longl ho ratio of Ifi 1-2.

Your Friend, Fresh Air. < )ne i > f tllO h'?ct 1T!IV? ating hod-rooms i? to g"t a stot >iece of wood about four inch* loop, nod just large enough to I nsido tho bottom of the wiudo 'mine; next throw up the ho :om sash, put tho wood in i [>laeo, and shut the sash down o t. There will then bo a spac between the two sashes, and a will he regular admitted. This regularity is of great in portanco. When people go to be they generally settle down f' ill the night; they don't get up at intervals to lliug open the door and window in order to ventilate the room; thus the plan de1 scribed answers very well, as, ie during the time a person is sleeping, tho air, with its purifying oxygen, is being drawn into the ? bedroom, bringing with it health and strength and renewing powie er* If the bed can be placed out of 11 a direct draft, let the bedroom window bo open an incn or two j at tho top, as the broathed-out air rises to the top of the room ,s because it is lighter than ordih nary air, and thus, if tho window I is open at the top, the impure air ' can escape. But if there is no ? way of escape the broathed-out (1 air will cool, and then, becoming i, heavier, will tall to the ground; thus the sleeper will breathe it again. l" In the morning, when you leave e your bedroom, don't forget to open your wiudow top and bottom to admit your friend the air. An old physician once gave a forgetful woman a large card on which he had printed these words ts in red letters: "Your friend is M waiting, open the window." He asked her to hang it on her bedroom door, then if ever she was i . . 7 - - ?- leaving the room without. oponing ,f the window, tho card would remind her. Another pood plan for the veil?jtilution of bedrooms is to opeu h| the window a few inches at tho top, and then to nail a piece of j perforated zinc across the open' injr. This prevents a direct draft, ifjusthcair gently iilters through t tho small holes in the zinc, and thus the sleeper does not run " | much risk of catching cold. " ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was croatod for n | one purpose, namely, a receptacle d for the urine, and as such it is ii not liable to any form of disease l ' except by one of two ways. The iirst way is from imperfect action j of the kidneys. The second way 1 | is from careless local treatment ,j of other diseases. < nii:r ( u ni:. I'nhoalthy urine from un1 healLhv kidnevs is 1 ho rhiof I of bladder troubles. So the r I womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not - doctored too much is not liable it , to vvi akuess or disease, except in c, rare cases. It is situated back of ami v. ry close to the bladder, " therefore any pain or incouvenience manifested in tiio kidneys, .. back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trou0 ble of some sort. The error is i- ( easily inado and may bo as easily i* avoided. To liml out correctly, j. | set your urine aside for twenty four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
