In the dark cellar of the julius Tower
at Spandau, Prussia, lies vast bulk of
gold coin equal to about thirty million
dollars, laid aside from Germany's
gains by the war of 1901, as a pro-
vision of hard cash wherewith to de-
fray the mobilization and other prelimi-
nary expenses of the next campaign
undertaken by the Empire. This fund
is absolutely unproductive, and may be
said to have cost the German Nation
half its total amount in foregone inter-
est since it was first lodged in its sub
terranean repository. A few days ago
the annual inspection of the treasure by
the Imperial Commissioners took place.
A specially detailed section of the Prus-
sian Guard assisted the two commits
siOners in the labOriOus task of count
ing over the contents of twelve hundred
canvas bags, each containing one hun
dred thousand marks, or twenty-five
thousand dollars. The massive iron
door closing the domicile of all this
wealth can only be opened by the 81
multaneOus action of two keys, master
pieces of the 'locksmith's art, one of
which is in the possession Of either
commissioner. The exact times at
which the deor is unlocked and re-
locked, as well as every circumstance,
however minute, connected with the
process of revision, are registered on
the spot in protocol signed by
the officials before leaving the fortress,
and attested by the governor in person.
During the inspection the Tower
guards are doubled; at its conclusion
the commissioners turn their keys in
the locks at one and the same moment,
are escorted to the gates of the fortress,
and take their departure for Berlin,
leaving the infructuous millions to
darkness and seclusiOn for another
wear.

The Drive Well.

A test case has been brought in the
u. s. court at Grand Rapids, to deter
mine whether or not all persons using
the ordinary "drive well" must pay
royalty to the patentee. Judge Withey
gave the defendants 80 days TO show
that they have not been guilty of in
fringement of the Green patent, under
which the royalty is claimed. The
Grand Haven Herald has looked over
the stenographer's report of Judge
Withey's opinion in the preliminary
hearing and finds that in speaking of
the patentee the Judge used the follow
ing language: eff he owns this patent
he owns property in which of course
he is deemed to have rights; and among
these rights is the exclusive control of
the patent, it's use and manufacture.
He has as complete right to the con-
troll of this patent, in every respect, if
| it is his and his established right, as he
would have to horse in his own barn
or hitched to his own buggy which he
is driving Judge Whitney further
said, in speaking of the defendants
my own judgment, however, is that
in the end they will all pay the royalty,
That the courts have without one ex.
ception so far sustained the patent and
in every case that has been tried the
parties have responded in cost and
damage" Judge Withey did not grant
an injunction because that would have
given the defendants no way out ex
cepting to pay the royalty, but allowed
the defendants 80 days in which tc
present evidence that there has beer
no infringement of the Green patent
If the defendants do not establish facts
to take their case outside of cases re
Gently passed upon in favor of the
patentee by Judges Benedict, Nelson
and Blatchford, Judge Withey will
grant the injunction prayed for.

Who Punches the Olns.

IA reporter ASKED JdIn6S N. SAMPSON,
the veteran detective employed at the
sub-treasury, to what the government
detectives attributed the sudden in
crease in the number Of clipped and
punched ceins, which has attracted So
much attention of late. Mr.. Sampson
said that it was perfectly well known
that nine-tenths of the punching was
done in this city by Cubans. A num-
ber of silver coins were clamped to-
gether in a roll, and in less time than
it takes to write an account of it, a hole
is drilled through the whole lot. The
value Of the silver obtained by punch
ing hole Of usual size in a coin
amounts to about one twenty-fifth of
the value of the coin, so that for every
roll of twenty-five quarter-dOllars the
value of one quarter-dollar is obtained
in a moment by running drill through
the roll. Mr.. Sampson says also that
many of the punched coins come from
Mexico and South America, where
our silver coins circulate freely, and
rarely escape mutilatiOn.
Several attempts have been made of
late years to break up the systematic
punching of coins, but with little sue
cess. Only two convictions for the Of
fence have been made in ten years.
Mr.. Sampson remarked that while the
business of punching and filing coins
was almost wholly in the hands of the
Cubans, the business of sweating gold
coins by shaking them up in a buck
obi, bo r, 10 r;h,,faJ bxy fha Jofaot;x,oo
to the denizens of Chatham street. BY
shaking bag containing one hundred
eagles for three hours, the result in
gold dust will be worth about $40. Mr..
Floyd, the chief clerk of the assay Of
flee, said that the government rules re-
lating to lightweight gold coins were
defective, and tended to keep such
coins in circulation. When a gold
coin less than twenty years old is
abraded to more than / per cent. of
its value, it is stamped with an al" at
the sub-treasury and returned to who
ever offers it, instead of being sent to
the mint. The object is to force the
holder to take it to the assay Office or
mint to be sold at its real value, in
stead of which it goes into circulation
again.
The trouble is that congress has
never made any provision for redeem
ing mutilated or even abraded coin.
Many persons think that all pieces
that have been worn down beyond
recognition in actual service should be
redeemed at par. The difficulty is to
tell when piece has been worn smooth
through use or brought to that condi-
tion by sweating or other artificial
means. Mr.. Floyd considers that the
mutilation of silver coin does not need
government interference, because, un-
like the abrasion of gold, the mutila-
tion Of silver coin can be detected at
once, and it rests with the public to
drive such coins out Of circulation.

The PainIeSsness Of Death.

| At birth the babe undergoeS ar
ordeal that, where he conscious
would be more trying than a most
painful deaEh; yet he feels it not
Born in an unconscious state, the
brain incapable of receiving con
Scious impressions, his entrance into
this hitherto unknown world is ac-
complished during a state of OBJ
1vion, known as natures an&Sthe-
STA:
"Painlessly we come, whence We know
Painlessly we 90, whittier we know
not !"
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered
as necessarily accompanied by pain ::
so general is this belief, that the
terms "death-agony,"" last struggle, :"
"pangS of death" etc., have been in
almost universal use in every age
and under all conditions of society.
Nothing could be more erroneous;
the truth is, pain and death seldom
go together-We mean the last mo-
ments Of life. Of course, death may
be preceded by weeks or even
months of extreme suffering, as oc-
ours during certain incurable dis
eases.
So exaggerated has been this no
ticn that it has been considered an
act OF humanity to anticipate the
''death-struggle" by violence; for
ages it was customary among the
lower classes of Europe to hasten
death by suddenly jerking the pill
low from beneath the head of the
dying, thus throwing the head back
ward, Straining the pharyngeal and
thOraic muscles, rendering the res
piration, already difficult, shortly
impossible. A Venetian ambassa-
dor, in the time of Queen Mary, as
serted that it was common custom
among the country people to smoth-
er the dying by means of pillow
placed over the face, upon which
leaned or sat the nearest relative.
This was founded upon the piOus
belief that short road was the best
one. This custom was handed
down from generation, parents per-
forming it for their children, and
dice UeTSG. But, perhaps, the saddest
privilege ever allowed the near
friends of dying man, occasionally
occurred during the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth, when through eX-
ecutiYe clemency-in executions by
hanging-they were permitted to
grasp the feet of the suspended
criminal, and, by clinging to the ex-
tremities, precipitate their addi-
tional weight on the body. thereby
Fastening strangulation. 1t is need
less to say that these theories are
false in both conception and prac-
tice. Death is a physiological pro-
cess and should be painless.-Dr.
Thomas D. Spencer in Popular Sea
e1pce Monthly.

WHAT IS PASSIVE RESISTANCE ?

Among the resolutions passed by the
Irish Convention is statement to the
effect that the policy of the Irish Land
Leaguers has thus far been one of "passive
resistance" Under the circumstances
this is puzzling expression, for to the IN
initiated it would seem that there had been
good deal of active resistance. For ex-
ample, what do the Land Leaguers call it
when an Irish farmer, having paid his
rent, as ali honest men should and do, is
Immediately assassinated, or visited by
band of masked ruffians and cruelty mutt.
lated, or has his cattle houghed or ripped
open, or his barns or his house set Oh fire
Does all that kind of thing come under the
head of passive resistance ?" And if it
does, why does it do so? Murder, mob.
bing, mutilation, malicious mischief,
arson, the shooting of women and even
children, In fact all the brutal, cowardly
and cruel outrages that can be committed,
are, according to the daily telegraphic dis
patches, being perpetrated IN Ireland con.
tinually. Aud these outrages are perpe-
trated for no other reason under the sun
than because the victims of them desire TO
act like honest men and to pay their just
debts. The Land Leaguers say that the
&c no rent programme is launched against
England, but who are the actual sufferers
from it? No doubt it is very disagreeable
for the landlords to be refused their rent
which is justly due to them, but their
share in the suffering is bagatelIe when
compared TO that of the poor Irish farmers
who are unfortunate enough to be honest.
Be it remembered that all these murders
and mutilations and other atrocities are
being committed by Irishmen upon Irish
men. The victims are not Englishmen.
They are the very people the Land Leaguers
pretend to be working for. 1t is in the
name of Irish patriotism that Irish tenant
farmers are being assassinated, their cattle
Inangled and their houses burned. And
this is the kind of policy the Irish CONVEX
ton and Patrick Egan and the Land
League designate as passive resistance. -
Passive resistance to your neighbours views,
exhibited by knocking him on the head or
shooting him through the body, is a nov.
city in Characterization, and one it would
have been hopeless to look for in any other
country than ireland.

The only possible explanation OF Judge
in the supposition that he is determined
not TO give the defense any ground for an
appeal. Even such purpose, however,
may be pursued at too great sacrifice,
and there are few probably who will not
agree with US that when, the other day,
'Guiteau coolly refused to answer Judge
Porter's questions, and took up peHspa-
per to read, the Court should have inter
fered to protect the dignity of the republic
at least, il no regard was had to that of the
Bench. But Guiteau has been mastered
by the careful and searching cross-examin.
alton of Judge Porter. He was put on the
witness stand by the defense, and the step
proves to have been disastrous one for
his case. Scoville seems to have believed
that Guiteau would conyice the jury Of
his insanity but on the contrary, he has
established his sanity to the complete sat
isfaction OF all who have read his answers.
His theory OF the divine inspiration has
5roken down completely under analysis,
and it has been made apparent that he
acted throughout with reference to his own
criminal impulses. The inspiration theory
was an afterthought he had determined
on the murder of Garfield teiore it &C.
Cured TO him. But the most damning
disclosure drawn from him by Judge Por-
ter was the admission that be had expert
enced remorsa sentiment altogether IN
compatible with the theory of divine inspi-
ration. In short Guiteau has been made
TO appear for the first time in his true char
acter, as sham lunatic, and the defense
can never reconstruct the shattered hypoth-
esis of his insanity.

Keller of Ohio has secured the Republic
can caucus nomination for the Speakership,
which gives him the Office. His success is
held to be a triumph for the :. stalwart"
wing of the party, and the statement may
be accepted as true. 1t is to the credit of
the President that he has refused to take
sides in this contest, but probably his name
has been used by his friends notwithstand-
ing his determination to be impartial. It
remains to be seen what use the stalwarts
will make of their victory. II they act
after their usual fashion they will only in
tensify the schism within the party, and
thus force the situation one step further in
the direction of accountability. Presi-
dent Arthur is quite right in endeaToring
