Decline in The Value Of Money,

I
A late number Of the North A
; meriean Review contains AN article on
1.-THE increase of the precious metals,
and the consequent red1 ction in the
Eyalse Of money. The writer shows,
that from 1900 to 1915, (according
to Humbpldt's tables the supplies
of the PRECIOUS metal obtained from
America, were about S3,00O,00O
a year. From, 1916 to 1900, the
supply averaged S1l,000,000a year.
The supply was largely increased
from 1740 to 1903, the highest rate
being estimated at S4S,937,O00 Of
which fl2,G4S,000 was gold,- an q
36,2S9,000 silver. For the ten sue
.eeeding years there was but little
increase in the supply, and down to
the wars In the Spanish American
colonies, according TO Jacobs, the
supply from the American mines did,
not exceed S20,000,000 year. In
1884 McOullbch states the supply
from all tile, world at S30,0O0,000.
In l847 this supply was increased by
the ptoludts Of the Russian mines
to $4,000, 600. The products Of
the California and other mines have /
swollen the amount in 1852 to Sl7S,- /
284, 200, iii gold S12S,S34,000 and
in silver about $39,000,O00 from all
the world. I he supply in 1852 is
about SIX tina es as large as. it was
twenty years since. No reduction
in the supply is anticipated for a
number Of years. Should there be
1 reduction in the products of the
California mines, those of Australia
viii, at least, make good a de6cien
y, q
An importan Mt difference appears
n the prese int increase and that Of :
ormer year $, 1t is this-the pres
mt increase is in gold, while that Of :
ormer year was nearly all in silver. !
This diffare bee has already produced )
great cha hge in the relative value
# gold and silver, and still greater
hangc is 10 okcd for. The Review, :
II considera ton Of the matter, thinks n
t but the c.Kercisd of ordinary eau
lon TO assn lie' that "the annual sup ;,
ly Of the precious metals will not ]
al below a bundled millions of dol
ars for many years, and that, in a
uarter Of a centu y, this supply will G
epreciate money to one-half OF one E
bird its present value" =
The gene ral opinion is, that the
alue of m oney is reduced in the 81
reeise ratio Of the increase Of the
nantlty. There tan be little doubt I
rat t he large increase in the pre-
Gus metals, will OCCASION important

POE TRY
The Little Straw Hat.

lis dear little hat, and it hangs there still
And its voice of the past bids our heart string
thrill,
For 1t seems like shadow of days pass'd o'er,
Of the bright one who that hat once wore.
'Tis dear little hat for each simple braid
Tells that oft DER its plating those fingers played
And many wreath for its crown hath beel
twiued,
To the grateful taste of his youthful mind.
Yes; there silent it hangs with its curling 'front.'
Still as playtully rolled as had been its wont;
But the golden ringlets, which waved be low,
Have curled their last clusters long ago.
Aye, the hat is the same, but it shades no more
Those light blue eyes as in days of yore:
And the sun-lit smile that danced DER that brow,
Can but light up our hearts sad memories now.
Sad memories they are; o'er their quivering strings
Each breath of the by gone tremor filings,
And joys that we Eain would waken again,
In memory are wreathed with thrill of pain.
Then call not the past-though the dimpled hant
May never again clasp the braided strand,
Though the breeze no longer may bear the tone
Of the ringing laughter of childhood's own.
All think of him now with glttering crown
Ger his heavenly forehead resting down,
While his fingers stray DER the golden wire,
That blends with his voice mid the cherub choir
Aye. see him now with the holy light
Pouring broad on his brow with radiance bright
And hear the tones whichin Heaven have birth
D call him not back to this saddened Earth.

ANIMALcULEs IN WATER-The idea en-
tertalned by most persons that all wateri
whether found in springs, wells, brooks,
ponds or cisterns, or even that fresh rain
water is filled with living creatures, is, as
far as the microscope enables us to ascer-
tain, without foundation. Water is COM
pound of two gases, hydrogen and oxygen,
and the existence of animalcules in it is al
together dependant on certain causes, prin-
cipally on its contact with vegetable mat
ter thus, if you take bowl of water, and
place handful of hay or other vegetable
matter in it, in few days the top will be
covered with schm, which, by putting a
small quantity under the microscope, will
be found to be mass of animachles, but
only of the lower order, most of them be-
ing the monads; the smallest of this class
being so minute that ninety millions can

The SELF-CREATING POWER OF MONEY
"A penny at five per cent, simple inter-
est, for eighteen hundred years, amounts to
seven sbillings and sevenpence half penny,
but at compound interest it would be larg-
er sum than could be contained in six hun
dred millions of globes, each equal to the
earth in magnitude, and all Of solid gold.--
Gregoyys Dictionary.
In these few lines lies the secret of the
immense wealth ofthe Rothschllds, the Gil
rards, and The Astors. AS Mr.. Astor once
said, the only difficulty in becoming rich is
that of getting the first few thousand dollars
to begin with. Ignorance of this wonder
full power in money to reproduce itself is q
chief cause of the poverty of the poor. In
most of the countries of the old world the
great bulk of the population need all their
earnings for the support Of families. There
is hardly man in the Union who is indus
trious that cannot, if he WILL make hand
some provision for old age in other words
it is almost always mans own fault if he
does not lay up in the course of few years
enough for every reasonable want of an
early old age. The only secret is to lei
your savings, however small, accumulate.
This geometrical increase will astonish a
person not before familiar with the wonder.

OPENING OF TRADE WITH JAPAH.-We

of The officers of the Japan expedition that

ciai arrangement with that country, hither-
to closed to the commerce of Christendom,
except Holland, and to the latter under ma

agraph from California paper will throw
some light upon the subject:
"a business transaction took place few
days since that is likely to be productive
of important results in the history of the
commercial world. A purchase of 100000

Hamilton, which is now under Chinese col

merican owners by two wealthy Chinese
merchants. The Chinese have long been
on trading terms with the Japanese, and
their vessels are allowed to enter their ports
and trade. The undertaking Is novel one,

predict very sudden increase in the mer-
camille marine of China, which would soon

not be strange we're it to happen that the
opening of the ports of Japan should be
brought about by the Chinese who have
settled in California. Indeed,we are strong

the ports of Japan would be as free to the
world before three years, as are those O.
