bohVaf, IusearaWas county as we learn nom
the Chronicle, went to his house to procure q
coat; When looking for the coat, he struck
his foot against a feather-tick, which was ly-
ing on the floor, and STOPPING down, he picked
it up and threw it upon bed standing near
by; he then got the coat and went down street.
Upon the bed which he threw the tick, was
his little babe, six months old, sleeping, OF
which be wes entirely unaware, and when the
child's mother came to look after it she found
1t smoothered TO death under the tick.
The total productions of gold and silver in
the United States for the year 1870, as estim-
ated by Mr.. r. W. Raymond, United States
commissioner of mining statistics, reaches
s66,OOO,OOO, California contributing S25,O00,-
900 and Nevada S26,OOOOOO to this amount.
In addition to the bullion exported and that
coined, a large amount of the precious metal
is used in manufactures here, Gold to the
value Of from nine 70 thirteen millions is used
annually by jewellers and others, part OF
which is coin, however, while silversmiths
and silver-platers melt up large quantities Of
fine silver bars.
Oak timber is disappearing from Europe
with great rapidity. France, with an annual
production of 1920, ,0OO, 600 gallons of wine is
especially injured by this change. In 1857 she
imported 6S,OOO,OO0 at cost of 100000.
Most of this timber came from Austria. France
REQUIRES every year ], 800, 900 cubic feet of oak
timber for wine casks, 100000 for her fleet,
l5n.O 900 for railway cars and $4,000 for build
ing purposes. In 1926, oak slaves were worth
six cents each of our money; in 1866 they were
worth fourteen cents each. In 1926 the total
value Of imported slaves was 100000; to-
day the total value is sSO,OOO,O0O. A similar
increase in the importation Of oak for the next
thirty years would probably double the present
price.
The resolve of the Episcopal Convention
that any modification of the Prayer Book is
inexpedient, although conservatively designed
to settle things, viii rather tend to unsettie
them. The precise number of 50 called Evan
gelicals cannot readily be ascertained, but it
certainly is large percentage of the whole
Episcopal body. 1t may be assumed that
most of them are sincere and conscientious,
and while few may follow Thrall and Gal
lsgher out of the church, more will be likely to
initiate Cheney's example, remain in and
make things lively. The Evangelicals doubt
less hoped to influence the Convention to such
amendment of the Prayer Book as should tol-
crate differences of opinion. They therefore
waited for the meeting of the Chnvention be-
fore taking action, to which they will perhaps
be forced by the failure of their movement
The Untarians propose to raise fifty thouS-
and dollars toward building a new Church for
Robert CoIyer in Chicago at once, and the
UnitarianAssociation has voted three thousand
dollars for his salary the coming year. The
choir of Mr. Hale's church in Boston, gave a
concert last Saturday evening for the benefit
of Mr.. Collyer, who lost his house, furniture
clothing and all his manuscript sermons-the
greatest loss of all for they cannot be replaced
A letter from Mr.. Collyer was brimming full
of hope and courage, and made people fee
more than ever what genuine Christian man
he is. The last thing we heard of him wa;
that he was standing in a cart in his shirt
sleeves dealing out bread.
The females of Utah are aroused, and in
diguantly protest against the interference oi
the government authorities. An immense pc.
tition signed by about twenty-five hundred
women, in favor of poligamy, was sent to the
President last week. The petitioners repre-.
sent that federal officers are creating disturb.
ances, and ask that court proceedings be stop
ped. Too late, gentle Mormonites, the fire il
burning, and those who do not wish to par.
ticipate in the explosion had better go on 8
visiting tour. Those mild blue eyes of Uncle
Brigham wear a startled expression and the ap-
ostles are wondering what they had best do tc
be saved. If for any reason whatsoever justice
does not continue to follow the leaders of that
lecherous clan, then the authorities will have
failed in the performance of their duty to the
public.

Russia can no longer be satisfied with hel
Asiatic possessions, which, though vast in ex.
tent, are of but little value compared with
those of her neighbors on the south, and which
seem destined sooner or latter to be absorbed
by Russia's greed for territorial possessions

that would give any pretext for Interference
but the latter has not been so fortunate, and
in June last its country was invaded and the
people conquered. This new addition to the
Rrussian empire, is described as being in ex-
tent about double that of Ireland, with a popu-
lation OF about two millions. 1t is said to be
rich in mineral productions, and agricultural
products
