This speed in the flight Of time seems
to increase as we grow older. A year
is a vast period to child. Duration
of time is measured by events, and in
our tender years the simplest incidents
are events. Further on upon life's
journey, only wonderful incidents
make their record on memory's tablet,
and these are so few that we seem to
be hurried onward at a frantic pace.
The bark Of youth glides almost i'm
ceptibly between aowery shores, ling

attractive curves, while the whole
landscape is bathed in golden. fairy
light. Presently the current grows

How Gold is Hoarded.

lRigolo in New York Sun.
An additional and by no means adequately
appreciated cause OF the striugency of money
is the growth of the passion for boarding gold
among the lower classes with the increase OF
prosperity Our immense foreign population
does not crave half as much for paper money
as it does for gold. Some of them-the Italians,
the Austrans, and the Russians, for instance
had some sad experiences with paper money at
home. They don't know anything about the
solidity of greenbacks, bank notes, bonds and
savings banks. What they are anxious to get
isA gold piece, and the moment they got it they
hide it. Nothing but the opportunity OF buy :
ing at bargain land, cattle, or house ever
brings these gold pieces out again, Ii has been
calculated that some $500, 100000 have thus
been distracted from circulation during the
last three years of growing prosperity through
out the continent. Women represent very
important factor III this boarding process. A
woman of almost any European nationality
prefers gold coin to a piece of clothing, u
piece of furniture, or anything else-except,
possibly, a piece of jewelry. An old French
man told me the other day that he avoids ever
going home with gold piece in his pocket,
for he is sure that his wife would steal it at
night and try to persuade him next morning
that the coin must have rolled out of the vest
pocket. tYet she is a very honest woman"
added he "She would never touch the bank
notes, but her passion for boarding gold is in
vincible. don't mind it, though, for she will
give it all back if a rainy day comes"

The Mohammedan Creed.

In considering its future it is not easy for
candid English mind to escape the admission
that, for all purposes Of argument, the Moham-
medap creed must be treated as no vain super
stition, but true religion, true inasmuch as it
is form of worship of that one true God in
whom Europe, in spite of her modern reason,
still believes AS such it is entitled to what
ever credit we may give true religions OF pro-
longed vitality; and while admitting the eter-
nal truth of Christianity for ourselves, we may
be tempted to believe that in the Arabian
mind, if in no other, Islam, too, will practicai-
ly prove eternal, In its simplest form Islam
was but an emphatic renewal OF the lmmemo-
rial creed of the Semites, and as long as pure
Semitic race is left in the world the revelation
of Mecca may be expected to remain necessar
ry link in their tradition. NO modern argu-
ments of science are ever likely to affect the be-
lief of Arabia that God has at sundry times ana
in sdndry places spoken to man Dy the moutn
of his proph cts; and among those propnets MO
hammed will always be the most conspicuous
because the most distinctly national. Also the
law of Islam-I am not speaking merely OF the
Sheriat as we now see twill always remain
their law because it is the codlhcauon OF tner
customs, and its political organization tneir po
litical organization because It IS founded on
practical coeval with their history. Lastly, BE-
mitic thought is a strong leaven which every
where pervades the minds of nations, aliens
though they be, who have once admitted 1t; and
it will not easily be cast out. We have seen IN
Europe, even in England, a land never brought
physically into contact with Arabia, now long
Arabian thought, filtered as it was through
France and Spa to our shores, has dominated
our ideas. Chivalry, notion purely bedouin,
is hardly yet extinct among u.s. komance, tne
offspring of pre-Islamic Arabia, is still a COM
mon motive of our action, and our poets express
il still. to the neglect of classic models, In the
rhvmed verse of Yemen. The mass Of our peo-
nIe still pray to the God of Abaham, and turn
eastward toward that land which is Araola's
half-sister, the Holy Land OF the jews. III
then we, who are mere aliens, find 1t impossl-
bic to escape this subtle influence, what must
it be for those races wholly or half Arabian
who have for centuries been impregnated with
Islam, the quintessence OF Arabian thought!
who shall fix the term of its power and say
that it cannot renew itself and liver send
forth. saws famous English writer, VINO was
also a famous English statesman, "a great
thought, as you have done before, from Mount
Sinai, from the villages OF Galilee, from the
deserts of Arabia, and you may again remodel
all mems institutions, change their principles
of action, and breathe new spirit into the
soone of their existence"

Kitty Martins Irony.

The methods adopted by Kitty Martin, st.

factory manner it would be necessary TO havesa
cun of hot coffee The girl told him that she
aid not have time to prepare it, when he be-
came very insulting and abusive, and attempt
ed to strike her At the time Kitty happened
to have an iron, the surface OF which was al
most red-hot, in her hand, and when he assault
ed her, she struck him in the face with the hot
side of the iron, branding him for life. In re-
turn he made a lunge at her with hugh dlrk
the point of which stuck in her corset, thus
preventing serious results. BY an immediate
flight the scoundrel escaped.

THE building of the Texas Pacific Rail-
road has developed the important fact tha;
the Llano Estacado, or "Staked Plains"
hitherto regarded as irreclaimable desert,
are adapted to settlement and cultivation
There is in all the extent no running water,
but the railroad engineers found water at
the depth of 40 feet in the first well they
sunk, and reached the same result with
every succeeding well. The country seems
to be honeycombed with subterranean water
courses, encountered at depth varying
from 80 to so feet. The supposed desert
turns out to be the best watered division OF
the road. 1t is rich prairie soil, bearing a
luxuriant growth of grass. Where the
graders camped, and corn and oats were
spilled, it was found that they took root and
grew thriftily.
