Gold ABSORPTION.

What becomes of the S223, OOO,O 900 of
the precious metals annually produced
in the world, is question, easy to ask
and not difficult to answer. OF our gold
and silver product, eighty per cent. is
exported, four-fifths of which go to In
dia. The exports of gold and silver
from the United States during the last
twenty-five years has amounted to
81, 200, 100000. The Egyptians, Hin
docs, Chinese, and Persians consume
but little of Occidental products, while
their products are in great demand by
Western nations. The balance of trade
in favor of these countries is $50, 000,0
annually. A French writer states that
the Egyptians conceal $20,000,000 an
nually of the precious metals and the
Emperor of Morocco has filed seven
teen large chambers with gold and sill
yer. The passion for boarding is shared
by the subjects of those princes; and
this is the solution of the absorption of
the precious metals. This absorption
by the Eastern nations has been going
on since the most remote historical
period. In the time of Augustus (B. G.
63) the amount of the precious metals
distracted from the bullion of the
Roman Empire by Ine tfaInc WIN tne
| East was four millions of dollars per an
mum. A large amount of gold and sill
yer is invested in ornaments in churches
in Italy, Russia, and other countries of
Europe. Silver pulpits and other sacred
ornaments are by no means uncommon
in churches, temples, pagodas, and
tombs throughout the Eastern hemi-
sphere In 1857 the export of gold and
silver from Great Britain to the East
was thirty-four millions of pounds ster-
ling During twenty-nine years QS4l
to 1859 the imports into India of gold
and silver were twelve hundred millions
of dollars. India has for years been
draining Europe and the United States
of bullion, there to be boarded or con-
verted into ornaments, never again to
circulate in the countries from which it
was exported.

Power of the Press.

Rev. DR.. Stone, of San Francisco,
gives credit to the press for exciting a
healthful and, beneficial influence in pub
lie and private affairs. He says: The
newspaper is more feared to-day in Con-
gressional halls and the high places of
corruption and yillainy than laws and
courts, the stings of conscience, and the
thunders of Divine wrath. !. God is
great way of, and the Judgment waits
but the ubiquitous reporter thrusts his
sharp gaze into all overt and hidden
schemes, an unerring detective. The
pestilent spy will tell all he sees, tell it
on the housetops, print for nation of
readers. Goodl Give us more of thisl
Long live the reporterl Let every pub
lie man who meditates little piece of
gainfnl fraud understand he is shad-
owed at each step by this unbought
espionage, and though he may not be
converted, he viii be restrained.

John Smith.

John Smith--plain John Smith is
not very high sounding it does notsug
gest aristocracy, it is not the name of
any hero in die-away novels; and yet it
is good, strong and honest. Trans
ferred to other languages, it seems to
climb the ladder of responsibility. Thus,
in Latin it is j ohannes NSmithus.; the
Italians smooth it off into Giovanni
Smith; the Spaniards render it Juan
Smithus the Dutchman adopts it as
Hans Schmidt; the French fatten it
out snto Jean Smeet; and the Russian
sneezes and, banks Jonlof Smittowski.
When John Smith gets into the tea
trade in Canton he becomes Jovan Shin
nit; if he Chambers about Noun, the
icelanders say he is Johne Smithson ; if
he trades among the Tuscaroras he be-
comes Ton Qna Smittia; in Poland he
is known as Ivan Sehmititiweiski
should he wander among the Welsh
mountains, they talk of Jihon Schmidt
when he goes to Mexico he is booked as
JOINT SMITH and.i heis of a classic
turn and fingers among the Greek ruins,
he turns to Jon Smikton and in Turkey
he is utterly disguised as Yoe Sect.

Ten Thousand Dollars for a Dinner.

One of the greatest pieces of extrava-
gance on record in this country is de-
scribed by New York correspondent of
the Boston Transcript. It occurred n
the shape of private dinner given at
Delmonico's. A wealthy German i'm
porter, who has retired from business,
before leaving America, to invite his
friends to dinner Covers were ordered
for seventy-four guests, and carte blanche
was given to Delmonieo for the dinner.
The large banquet hall of that establish
ment was secured-the same hall where
the dinners to Dickens and Tyndall were
given, at the rate of So ticket. For
nearly week the employees of belmont
co were engaged in preparing for this
dinner. A table twenty-four feet wide,
extending the whole length of the room,
was constructed. In the center of it an
artificial pond was made, with fountain,
while around the fountain live swans
were floating. Of course the pond was
Gagged over. The center of the table was
banked with flowers, from the water s
edge, at cost of over s., 900. Perfume
fountains were constructed in various
parts of the table, and to add to the in
toxication of the senses, Berstein's full
band of thirty-fve pieces was engaged to
furnish the music The dinner COM
menced at Sp. NJ, and continued for a
couple of hours, after which dancing
took place until midnight, when the din,
ner, or supper, as it was then called, was
resumed for an hour or two, followed by
dancing until in the morning. The bill
for that dinner amounted to just $40, 900.

A Three Million Failure for $4,000.

There is a curious story afoat about
the great failure of James Wood & Sons,
of Pittsburgh. 1t seems that since the
death of the founder of the house, the
business has been in the hands of the
sons, three in number. On the day of
the "crash" the two older brothers were
absent and in other parts of the country,
the youngest of all being left in charge.
Word came to him from the cashier of
the bank with which they did business
that a note of So, 900 was due, and no
money in the bank to meet it. The
cashier would have paid it, if asked to
do so, or would have been ready to place
even $50, 900 to the credit of the firm if
they should so desire. But the young
man upon whom the responsibility rested
expressed no such request, and nothing
was left for the cashier to do but to let
the note go to protest. The fact of the
firms failure to meet this obligation
soon became known among the creditors,
whose paper began to pour IN with I'M
comfortable rapidity, so that in a few
days the only course left for the firm
was to make an assignment, in order, if
possible, to get fresh start. Thus il
was that firm which had three and a
half million assets, and only two-thirds
that amount of liabilities, failed fol
So, 900.
Another interesting point in connec-
ton with this great failure is the state
ment that the creditors are said to expect
to be able to make good their claim upoI
the estate itself, which is rumored to bt
worth fully 100000. The claim il
based upon the fact that there was M
notice of dissolution of partnership
after the death of James Wood, his sonI
having continued the business withou
the advertisement of any change in the
organization of the firm.

A Whipping Six Miles Long.

Among the Pullman conductors on
the Missouri Pacific railway is Mr.. Tom
Kingsley, an old passenger conductor Oh
the @. and I'll. railroad. He has been
in the employ of Pullman for some three
years, and on the Missouri Pacific for
about one year. Night before last he
left st. Louis with his car, as usual, on
his westward trip. Upon the same car
was one of those spies sent to watch
him, who took a berth, and to all APP
pearances was an ordinary passenger on
the train. But there was something
sneaking in the fellows looks that
aroused the suspicion of Mr.. Kingsley,
who afterward became thoroughly con-
WINGED that the man was spy upon his
actions. Feeling naturally indignant,
the more he thought the matter over the
more he became enraged. In the morn
ing the detective arose near Otterville );
Mr.. Kingsley approached him and in
vited him into the baggage-car, which,
after entering, he locked. He then told
the spy he had discovered his character,
and he proposed to treat him as his con-
duct, in his eyes, justly merited. Tom
sailed right in, and thrashed him all the
way from Otterville to Smithton. When
he was through he helped him back into
the passenger car, where he remained
till he reached Sedalia and the Ives
House. Mr.. J. E. Milliman, sleeping
car detective, is now In room No. Al
undergoing repairs, and tryingto reduce
| the size of his head to natural dimen-
sions Meanwhile Mr.. Pullman is be-
reft for the time of the services of this
very devoted but unfortunate spy

Trick and chicanery may smother or de-

somebody is not hurt before this swelling

An Economical Item.

1t is asserted by scientific authority
that in any fireplace not very small, a
plate of iron placed upon the bottom of
the CRATE will halve the consumption of
coal, reduce the smoke, and leave a
cheerful, free-burning fire. Quite sufi-
cient air enters through the bars, no
poking is necessary, and the fire never
goes out till the coal is consumed. Any
householder can try the experiment,
and reduce his coal bill, say thirty per
cent, at the cost of shilling.

Knife or shears for Pruning.

On all plants where it is desirable that
the wound should heal over, sharp
knife should be used in pruning. With
grape vines it makes but little or no
difference whether smooth cut is made
OF not, as all the wood left beyond the
last bud remaining ON the shoot dies,
whether cut with knife or shears. This
is also true with many species of orna-
mental shrubs. such as Syringa. Deut-
zia, and in fact, all plants that have a
large pith In the young stems. Shears
are the most convenient implement with
which to prune vines, and may be used
without danger of doing any damage,
even if they do not make as clean cut
as knife.-He0rth and Home.

woman in Agriculture.

The New York Times says There is
much work about the farm which no man
can do so wen, which nature seems
especially to have intended for the skill
ful and delicaate touch and quick per-
ception OF woman hence, any effort to
draw her from that work has been met
with a corresponding deterioration of
the product, and the fact forced into
prominence that nothing was needed
but simply such appliances as might
tighten labor, but still leave all to be
guided by her skill The special work
of woman In agriculture should be the
care of the dairy, the general direction
and the lighter labor of the garden, the
poultry-yard and its varied fowls, the
bees, and her pleasure the flowers.
These, except the dairy, may be called
the little things of the farm, yet in them
may be stored many dollars of profit OF
luxury which the hard-wrought grain
will not supply. No mau can ever be
so successful in raising chickens, none
attend so pointedly to the wants of the
busy insect who gives the honey, none
know so well where and how the varied
vegetables of the kitchen garden should
be grown.

A Candle to Burn All Night.

When, as in case of sickness, dull
light is wished, or when matches are mis-
laid, put powdered salt on the candle till
it reaches the black part of the wick. In
this way mild and steady light may be
kept through the night by small piece
of candle.
