We are well aware that there has been &

east, but we never hearof its returning. Thi,

constant tide Of metal that is ever setting in
! that direction, and what becomes Of i; has
| puzzled more savans than one.
! The enormous absorption of silver by The
eastern states of the world is one of the most
remarkable facts in the history Of the precious
metals. From the earliest historic times. the
cas-. has taken little but silver for its com
modities. In tie time of Pliny, the exporta
ton of precious metals from The west was set
down at from 100000 to 100000 year
The Romans had their chef cnterport for the
east in the Island of Teprobeno, now called
Ceylon; ami they carried on considerable
commerce with the Indians, Persans and
EthiOpianS. The shaws and stuffs of the
east found their way to Europe long bef re
the time of the Crusades. The Arabs carried
on large and regular ira ie in these aud
other Atlantic productions Till the discovery
of the Cape of Good Hope diverted the course
of comm cree.

has been carried on, the flow Of silver has

Humboldt calculated that in the year 1869
the mount Of silver sent eastward annually
was between twenty five and thir,T millions
of dollars Between 1890 and 1888 tie large
amount Of Synec silver received from China.
and the export Of great quantities Of Eoglisl
goods to ludia, disturbed the flow of silver
eastward which has. however, since set IN
with more determination than ever. hiss,
the balance in favor OF the ca,, was about
thirty nil ions Of dollars. The e:por,atjGn
Of the precious metals from Great Britain
alone duriag the seven years eading with
lSjS, was more than So 1000 per annum,
Of which, al! bat ouc-c.ghth part was silver.
Al the present time the balance cf the i'm

yarn-spinning machinery, calculates that
each mouse VIII earn seven shillirgs and six
pence year. AS the board o! the animal
will cost sixpence a year, and the wear and
tear of the machinery would amount to a
shilling. the clear profit from each mouse
would be six shillings annually. The SAN

WINE MAKING Wine is thing not made
by man at all but only modified at most. 1t
is a production OF nature. In the purest and
best grape wine, this Is most remarkably
exhibited. The grapes are easily pressed by
a wine or even "A cider press, anC. can be kept
separate from the lees, or allowed to-fermeut
on them as strength is required. Not one
drop of water, not lump even of sugar is
requisite, though most of the wines in this
country are made with it But the fermcnta-
tiop is all an act of nature herself. She 1t
is who makes our wine, and all that men
have to do while the fermentation is going
on IN the juice is to watch it and let II alone.
And when this has ceased. the DIR ,wing off

tnat man can do, lump of loaf sugar in
