The twenty largest national debts in
the world amount, therefore, in the ag-
gregate, to $22 $50 100000. If we add
$500, 600, 600 for the smaller debts, the
national Indebtedness OF the world is
figured up to $23 750,000,000.
The debts of twenty countries EN-.
braced in the above table impose an an
hual interest charge of 1912 100000 upon
their inhabitants, to which about $57,-
25C 900 must be added for the unenumer-
ated debts, making a total annual
charge of $1,000,000, 600 on the tax.pay-

which France, the country wi h the
largest revenue in the world, is annually
raising.
The rate of interest which these coun-
tries are severally paying on the nominal
amount of their del bt should not be con-
founded with the rate at which they can
borrow money at present. Some of these
are stated as follows, the rate being based

Value Of Time.

He who every morning plans the trans
actions of the day and follows out that
plan carries a thread which will guide
him through the most busy life; the Or
derly arrangement of his time is like a
ray of light which darts itself through
all his affairs. But where no plan is laid
where the disposal OF time is surren-
dered merely to the chance of incidents
all things lie huddled in one chaos,
which admits neither distribution nor re-
view.
The first requisite for introducing Or
der in the management of time is to be
impressed with just sense of its value.
Let US consider well how much depends
upon it and how fast il flies away The
bulk of men are in nothing more ca
PRECIOUS, and when they think of it as the
measure of their continuance on earth
they highly prize it, and with the great
est anxiety seek to lengtheu it out, but
when they review it in separate parcels
they appear to hold it in contempt and
squander it with inconsiderate profusion,
al the same time complaining that life
is short"
Among those who are so carelessSof
time we cannot expect to find order much
observed in its distribution; and, by such
fatal neglect, how many materi1e for Sc
we're and lasting regret are they laying up
in store for themselves! The time which
Is suffered to pass away in the midst of

Exposure Of Psyche, the English Mys.
terry.

THE correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes from London: "The
mystery of Psyche has been discovered
You may remember that Psyche is the
wonderful automaton exhibited by Mask
elyne, the conjurer, which for long
time has been puzZling the brain of
scientific men by its accurate playing of
whist. That Psyche was in some way
connected with and guided by human
brain was, for long time, certain, but
as it was completely isolated on the top
of simple glass cylinder, and no pos
sible connection with anyone behind the
curtain conceivable, it grew to be our
greatest mystery. The great men of the
Royal Society went to examine il, but
were all beaten. But finally young
American-W. II. Coffin-son of DR.. G..
W. Coffin, celebrated American dentist
in London-after five visits hit upon the
secret, Maskelyne himself being unable
to submit his figure TO the test proposed.
The solution is that Psyche is worked
by the condensation and diminution of
the column of air ia the glass cylinder
on the top of which he sits. Beneath the
carpet at the bottom of this cylinder is
perforated plate of zinc, connected
with the operator behind the scenes,
who, at his will, may increase or decrease
the column of air, the figure moving one
way or another in accordance with the
pressure put upon it. The conjurerw was
at first disposed to deny the explanation,
but Coffin told the audience that it could
easily be tested by Maskelyne allowing
him to put a newspaper between the
figure and the cylinder. This the con-
jurer declined, and then followed great
applause when it became recognized
that Psyche as mystery was at last
dead, or at least had fairly reached his

National Debts OF the World.

WE endeavored nearly two years ago
to give in these columns an approximate
estimate of the national debts of the
| world We concluded on that occasion
that the Indebtedness of the world might
be placed at about "a, e4,200,000,0O0 Dur
ing the two years that have since passed
there is good reason 10 believe that a
large addition has been made to this
sum. New countries and old countries
vie with each other in the money markets
of Europe; and even China has within
the last few weeks commenced national
debt. There is considerable difficulty in
ascertaining the liabilities of the vari-
Gus nations which are thus heavily in
debted. The annual almanacs give US
some assistance in the subject; and the
careful information which the Economist
publishes in the Investors Manual" af-
fords also considerable help in solving
the question. The following are the best
estimates which we can form of the
principal national debts at the present
time.
