The Gold in the world.

The entire amount Of gold In the
world at present is estimated at nearly
seven billionsts7 ,OOO, 900, 000) of value
in the United State coinage. A billion
is such a big number that the average
mind cannot take it in. A thousand
millions is more readily comprehended;
consequently seven thousand millions
more, verbally and financially,
than seven billions. How much solid
gold would that make? Pure gold is
more than nineteen times as heavy as
water, and a cubic foot of water weighs
1000 ounces avoirdupois. A cubic
foot of gold would weigh therefore,
owe $4,000 ounces avoirdupois, and
each such ounce is worth, as we reckon
rather more than 80, SO that q cubic
foot of the precious metal would have
a value of about 1888, 1893. A cubic
yard of gold, being twenty-seven times
as much would be worth over $9,000,-
600, and 700 cubic yards would con
tain more than the whole sum of gold
on the globe. All of it might be con-
tanned in a block some seventeen feet
high, twenty-eight feet wide. and fifty
six feet long.

THE German government is anxious,
it seems, to drive the Socialist refugees
from Switzerland. The German min
lister to the republic has conveyed re-
monstrances to the federal council
touching the liberty which political
refugees enjoylon Swiss territory, and
the bad use which they make Of this
liberty by founding newspapers advoca-
ting the doctrines of communism. The
comments of the Swiss socialistic press
upon the recent attempts to ~assassinate
the s%overeigns Of Germany, Spain and
lilly, seem to have especially shocked
loyal Berliners; and Bismarck's Post
has significantly limited that If Switzer-
land allows itself to be converted into
a hot-bed of revolution, its partition
may o be resolved upon. 1t is high
ly probable that the federal council will
be asked to introduce some anti-social-
ist bills into the two chambers Of tile
federal legislature, and such a demand
would throw this executive body into
deep perplexity.

lie Figaro gives some details of the
private life of Shere Ali, which are nom
the less entertaining though they seem
to be lacking somewhat in the element
of proba bility. He inhabits the palace
of Bala-Hizzar, which has more
the appearance Of a fort than a palace.
His mother still survives, though at a
very advanced age. he has only one
surviving son, Yakoob Khan, a dread
fully maurais s,1et, but on the other
hand he has IS daughters, 10 Of whom
are married to subjects of their father.
1t is an ancient custom in Afghanistan,
when a daughter of the ameer marries,
for her to receive the of a city
as her WI private income. so there are
now no less than 10 of the principal
cities of A~fghanistan the revenues of
which go to the support these married
daughters, though at their deaths the
revenues will return to the state. The
ameer's wives number some 300 or so.

THERE is just a reasonable doubt
that the great preparations made in
Mexico to entertain the merchant WISH
tors from the United States will prove
Of sufficient benefit to justify the ex-
pense and trouble. Late accounts state
that the holders of Mexican bonds who
of course live in England, have made a
move which looks toward monopolizing
Mexican trade entirely, on a basis that
will prove quite profitable to the Mex
leans, hence the probab ility oftheir ac-
cepting the proposition.

The Garnet Moth.


1t may be interesting to families to
know that a Bostonian has been devo-
ting his time to studying the carpet
bug or buffalo moth, the new pest
which has been discovered in the house
hold, and which threatens to become as
great a nuisance indoors as the Colora-
do beetle has proven in the field. 1t is
the larvae of a beetle SO small as to es-
cape detection unless specially looked
for. 1t was discovered in every room
of the Bostonian's house under the edge
of the carpet, and, wherever discover
ed, a hole had been eaten through the
wooden part Of the carpet. In some
places the carpets seemeI to have been
cut with scissors. Several larvae having
been placed in g~lass-covered boxes,
those that survived without food split
lengthwise, and produced a black bee
tie. spotted with red and white, about
one-eigth of an inch long. Pepper,
snuff, kerosene, and various insect
powders were employed in vain to kill
the Larvae and beetles; benzine proved
effective. The beetles, being sluggish,
are easily caught and killed; but the
Larvae r so nimble that they are apt
to get away. They do not confine them
selves to carpets; they eat furs, soft
brushes, feathers, and wooden stuff Of
any kind, whether hanging in closets or
folded in drawers. Some families that
have been absent for some time have
found their carpets ruined on their re-
turn, and the whole house swarming
with insects. These have long been

Two Baby Orphans.

On the night the steamship Pommer-
ania went down a young woman, wild
and distracted, her hair floating in the
wind, rushed from the steerage with a
child under each arm. She put these
into the hands of a sailor, with the ap-
peal, ''save my babies" and dashed
back through the water, which covered
parts Of the sinking vessel. The ship
went down, and the mother was never
seen again. The babies were saved,
but for many days nothing could be
learned as to their relatives or friends.
They seemed absolutely alone in the
world, and every dispatch about the
unclaimed orphans brought vivid y to
mind the scene on the sinking vessel,
Save my babies" Now comes the
sequel: The two little girls, one less
than three years old and the other
scarcely n year old, could give no
lame. All the clue as to their identi-
ty was that the older one chung to the
other and called her Nina. BY this Mr..
Baecht, of New York, pronounced the
little girls the daughters of his niece,
Mrs. Nina Stiehl, who had been on the
Pommerania with her four girls-Eliz-
abeth, nine years old; Mary, four; Dora
two years and ten months; and Nina
one The mother saved her babies first
and in an effort to ave the older ones,
was lost. A few days since the two or
phans arrived in New York on the
Cimbria, and were taken charge of by
relatives. The little girls had been
well cared for, and had not lacked for
friends anywhere.
