The Worlds Gold.

The Ural mountains, Australia and
the United States are the most pro-
ductive sources OF gold supply, the
first yielding s2O,OOO,OOO annually. the
second $37 900, 900, and the third $685.
100000. Prior to the discovery OF
the rich mines OF the United States
the total production was only $685.
100000 per annum. The fever for
gold hunting, which was excited by
the finding OF the great mines of the
Pacific coast, rapidly increased the
yearly production. until 1850 it
reached over 1920, OOO,OOO and five or
six years later gold bullion was mined
to the extent OF the enormous sum OF
nearly sl85 100000. This was the larg-
est yield OF any one year, and since
then the production has gradually
fallen away, and seems TO have finally
reached an equilibrium OF 100000
600 per annum, nearly all OF which Is
found in the three regions named
PittsburQh Dispatch.

Depth Of American Lakes.

There Is q mystery about The Amer
lean lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty
to seventy feet deep. But Lake On
t.lio IL 592 feet deep, $50 feet below
the ii Ielevel OF the ocean, or as low
as most parts OF the Gulf OF ST. Law
Fence: ind the bottom Of lakes Huron,
Nj higah and Superior. although the
.uI face is much higher. and all from
their vast depths on level with the
bottom of Ontario. Now, a a dis
charge through the river Detroit. az
ter allowing for the probable portion
carried off by evaporation, does not
appear by any means equal to the
quantity OF water which the three up
per lakes receive, 1t has been oonjec-
tured that subtsrranean river may
run from Lake Superior, by the HUI
ron, to Lake Ontario. This copjec-
ture is not impossible, and accounts
for the singular fact that herring and
salmon are caught in all the lakes
communicating with the st. Law
renee. but no others. As the falls OF
Niagara must have always existed, it
would puzzle the naturalist to say
how these fish got into the upper
lakes, without some subterranean
river; moreover, any periodical OBJ
struction OF the river would furnish a
not improbable solution OF tho mys-
FERROUS fiux and Iehux OF the lakes.

One Of the commonest and worst
ofthe vices is the vice OF comparison.
There is good authority for saying
that those who measure themselves
by themselves, and compare them
selves among themselves are not
wise. The Pharisee who went up in.
TO the temple TO pray fell into this
snare. God, thank Thee that am
not as other men are" That II the
language OF spiritual pride and OF
consciousness. Thinking in this
strain he is sure TO paint others as
black as he eau in order that he may
show hImself to the better advantage
on this background. 1t would have
been well to thank God for not being
suffered to fall into grievous sin; but
the comparison between himself and
other men was sure to bring with it
many harsh judgments and many
hateful passions. Such a compari-
son, moreover. puts the true stan
dard OF character out OF sight; for
that is the law that demands perfe c.
ton. Gods requirement is not, BE
as good as other men, it Is BE ye
perfect, even as your Father in heav-
en- is perfect" Besides, such a COM
parison is very likely to be unjust
How do you know that you are better
than "this publican" Sir Pharisee?
Perhaps his life may outwardIy seem
worse than yours; but it may be
that he, though vicious and uDprinci-
pied and degraded in the eyes OF
men, Is a better man than you are in
the sight Of God. 1t may be that he
has been crippled from infancy with
heritage OF bad passion. 1t may be
that he was born with an organiza-
ton that inclined him to indulgence.
1t may be that his environment from
his earliest life has been evil. And it
may be that against all these him
ORANGES he has striven bravely-far
more bravely than you have ever
striven; and though his achieve
ments, so far as man can see, have
not been remarkable, God may cred
ii this man. who has lived a bad life,
with more real moral heroism than
you have ever shown. You had bet
ter not thank God that you are better
than other men. for God knows both
you and them: and he may know
that they are better than you.-Sua-

Anecdotes OF Noted Actors.

John Mccullough was at Que time
playing Virginiaus in Syracuse, N. Y
In the drama occurs the line
There is no public virtue left il
Syracuse. Scarcely had the TRACE
dian sounded the words, when mar
in the parquette sprung to his feet
exclaiming, mo, by lingo, nor in Ut
ky either"
Theodore Thomas at one time con
cluded to give an orchestral concert
in Michigan village. The advance
agent with a great flourish OF trum.
pets, heralded the approach OF the
musical organization. He paid his
respects to the chief editor OF the 10.
cal paper, and inquired If him wheth-
er the chances were good for large
audiences. The editor replied
well, sir. unless this Mr.. Thomas
has two first-class end men, he won't
draw much in this town." The pro-
ceeds Of the entertainment were
very light.
Charlotte Champion in her day was
one Of the best actresses on the
stage, and by many was regarded as
the peer Ut Cushman. She was a
woman whose dissipated habits were
the general talk of the profession,
and with which the public was more
or less familiar. She died in Louis
vile about two years ago. Her last
appearance was at Macauley's Thea
ter, supporting John Mccullough,
and playing Queen Gertrude to his
Hamlet. The last words she uttered
upon the stage were the expiring ex-
CARNATIONS OF the Queen: The
drink! the drink etc. She died
within the next two days at the City
Hospital.
Edwin Forrest was at one time
rounding the Horn on a voyage to
San Francisco. he was dreadfully
seasick. and was storming up and
down the deck, berating @life on the
ocean wave" in his most sulphurous
style. The Captain OF the Loaf,
thinking to mollify the tragedian, ap-
preached him and began extolling a
sailors condition. why, Mr.. For
rest" said he. Il love the sea; find
everything congenial about it. In.
deed as youngster, l took to 1t as a
matter OF choice" II don't believe
you. Sill" calculated Forrest in reply;
There never was but one man who
went TO sea as a matter of choice,
and that was Noah, for IL he had re-
NAMED on shore he would have been
drowned"

WILL LIVE FOREVER stars will
grow dim, the sun will pale his glory,
but truth will be ever young, In,eg
rity. uprightness,. honesty. love, good
ness, these are all imperishable. No
grave can ever entomb these immor-

prison, but they have been freer lha.l

their hearts have been burned at the
stake, but out OF their ashes other

The Mind.

The human mind Is a wonderful
machine and there Ia no accounii.-
for its vagaries. Il will Lot do IL
charge all.the folly in the worii up
on the little when we find so much of
it existing in the great. The first
Napoleon was fatalist, and a steady
believer in second sight" He was
bewitched by extravagant ideas OF
glory. but glory finally threw sand in
his eyes, Rrutus firmly believed
that he should meet his evil genius

by ideas OF glory. The great DIR.
Johnson wrote pamphlet to prove
that a.ghost nightly glided through

world where we discover great and

A Yexed Question Answered,

single sentence: BE content you are

He protested that, although very sor-
ry, the rules OF the company wouldn't
allow him to take that ticket for a
moment. The lady said that she had
bought 1t in good faith, but had never

and intimated, with studied polite

senseless. And finally she remarked,

She Would Ride Backward.

Years ago the Boston and Albany
railroad made rule that passengers
should not ride on tickets intended to
be used in the opposite direction from
that in which they were journeying.

Earth-life is a vast drama, In

Gems or Thought.

1t is easy to pick holes in other
peoples work. but it is far more prof
table to do better work yourself.
We appreciate no pleasure unless
We are occasionally deprived OF them.
Restraint is the golden rule OF enjoy
ment.
Bad habits are the thistles OF the
heart, and every indulgence Of them
is seed from which will come forth
new crop OF raLk weeds.
The mind is weak when it has once
given away; it Is long before a prin-
ciple restored can become as firm as
one that has never been moved.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another man than thi. ,
that when the injury began on his
part, the kindness should b, gin ON
ours.
Precept and example, like the
blades OF pair OF SCISSORS. are at-
mirable adapted TO their end when
conjoined; separated, they lose the
greater portion of their utility.
There Is dark and also bright
side to every providence, as there
was to the fiery, cloudy pillar that
guided Gods people CT old in tn
desert. = ature looks on the dark
side and calls it sorrow and sadness
but faith sees the sun dispensing the
darkness, and calls it by the name OF
Joy.
