Worrying Over the Wear Of Gold Coin.

It is estimated that the average weekly
depreciation of the 81, 600, 600 in gold
held by the Boston banks is nearly $500,
or say SIS. 900 per annum, the calcula-
ton being made on the recognized basis
that gold coin in use actually loses q
five-hundredth of its weight in a year.
The coin is packed in bags Of S., COO
each. These bags are passed from bank
to bank, and the constant friction which
is made IN handling and weighing wears
away the edges and faces Of the coin, so
that, sooner or later, bag falls short in
weight, and valuable time, as well as
money, is lost ia determining which bank
shall make good the deficiency-the
lab, Is attached to each parcel, on which
appear the names of the banks through
which the bag has passed, being the only
means to aid in fixing upon the respon-
sible party. The Treasury Department
has refused to issue gold certificates for
large amounts on the ground that it
would occasion trouble and expense for
the Government. Other exped,ents pro-
posed are, the appointment Of an institu-
ton, not chartered by the United States,
as gold depository for the national
banks, the interchange of certificates
amorg the banks, and the establishment
of the clearing house as a depository.
There are objections to each plan, and
another-the division of the burden
among five or six banks--is the one
which may be temporarily adopted until
Congress shall supply permanent rem
edy. The packing Of the coin in bags is
conventional way, and it does not
reflect much credit on the inventive
faculties Of bank officers that they have
not thought out better. If the coin
were packed in boxes fitted with grooves
in which the pieces would lie close and
so confined that they would not move in
course of transportation, and these
grooves were made so that they could be
lifted out, with their contents. the loss
from friction in tumbling around the
bags and pouring out the coin as though
it was sugar, would be very much re-
duced. - Boston transcript.

Newspapers, like all. other embodi-
ments Of enterprise, can occasionally
indulge in conclusions in predicting that
the manifest destiny Of at least one-half
Of Canada's population was to emigrate
to the United States. The foundation
for this assertion is found in the advice
of the Marquis of Lorne, who presses
the necessity OF English women emf
grating to Canada. The Governor Gen.
eral. like wise Canadian, suggests that
such emigration should be encouraged.
Although English women Of the class
who would be likely to emigrate Of their
own free will would find tho United
States more promising destination than
Canada, they will undoubtedly in Canada
exert favorable influence on the popu-
lation, for they will not only keep 1t
least an equal number Of young men
from straying South Of the st. Lawrence,
but they will cause many Americans to
make excuses for visiting the Dominion.

valuable diamonds in Brazil and made

amassed an immense fortune. At the

Contempt of Danger.

If dynamite balls were planted under
Washington street crossing, at first no
one knowing the fact would go over the
ground but should they remain there
for n week, the old way would be re-
sumed by the people. Familiarity not
only breeds contempt in the social world,
but people living constantly on the verge
of danger, in tune, come to regard it
with carelessness. The human race has
always fought shy of the destructive
forces Of nature and art at first, but
familiarity with them has reduced the
Gears. The New York Sun says "When
kerosene was introduced, there were
many fears in regard to its use, on ac-
count Of its LIABILITY to explode under
certain conditions, and particularly when
considerable quantity of it ignited
through the medium Of its vapor brought
into contact with fire. Yet in few
years thousands of people were using
this feared agent even for kindling fires,
and every day there is fresh story of
house or q woman or child burned up
from this careless practice. Precisely SO
it has been with dynamite, which at first
was regarded with terror from its destruc-
tive power. Yet the other day, in New
York, house was blown to pieces by
dynamite cartridges hung on stovepipe
to warm, and in Pennsylvania miner
put can of dynamite on his cook stove
to dry, and only fragments of himself,
his wife, and four children, and splinters
Of his house remained to hold an inquest
over. It is the old case Of contempt Of
danger bred by familiarity with it; but
since the lives and possessions Of great
many people are imperiled by the habit
which near neighbor may have of keep
ing dynamite cartridges in his house
and warming them on his stove, the laws
relating to this and similar explosives
seem to need revision"

The Golden Ladder Of Charity.

There are eight degrees of steps, says
Maimonides, in the duty of charity.
The first and lowest degree is to give,
but with reluctance or regret. This is
the gift of the hand but not of the heart.
The second is to give cheerfully, but
. not proportionately to the distress of the
sufferer.
The third is to give cheerfully and pro-
portionately, but not until we are solic-
tied.
The fourth is to give proportionately,
cheerfuliy, and even unsolicited but to
put it in the poor mans hand, thereby
exciting in him the painful emotion Of
shame.
The fifth is to give charity in such a
way that the distressed may receive the
bounty and know their benefactor with
out their being known to HIM. Such
was the conduct of some Of our ances-
tors who used to convey their charitable
gifts into poor peoples dwellings, taking
care that their own persons and names
should remain unknown.
The seventh is still more meritorious,
namely, to bestow charity in such way
that the benefactor may not know the
relieved objects, nor they the name of
their benefactor as was done by our
charitable forefathers during the exist
ence of the temple. For there was in
that holy building a place called the
Chamber of Silence or Inostentation,
wherein the good deposited secretly
whatever their generous hearts sug-
gested, and from which the most respec-
table poor families were maintained with
equal secrecy.
Lastly, the eighth and the most meri-
torious of all is to anticipate charity, by
preventing poverty; namely, to assist
the reduced brother either by consid-
cradle gift or loan Of money, or by
teaching him trade, or by putting him
in the way of business, so that he may
earn ali honest livelihood, aud not be
forced to the dreadful alternative of hold.

Tamerlane's Human Pyramid,

The great conqueror Of Central Asia.
in ten years from the time he struck the
first blow, had risen to absolute autht rity
over numerous and warlike people.
Thur (also called Timnr- Beg or Timur-
Leng, for his lameness, and known
among Western writers as Tamerlanel
had successfully warred against the
Kalmucks and the tribes Khaurezir,. and
turned his attention, between these cam
paigns, to supporting Toktemesh Khan,
Of the claimants to the throne of Kipec-
hak, ultimately, in 1876, placing him in
undisputed possession. Then, with the
view OF restoring its former limits to the
empire Of Jagatal, he summoned the
Prince Of Herat and the other chiefs of
Northern Khorassan, and, on their
refusal, Immediately attacked and re-
duced them to submission, levying q
contr button as penalty. But, in 1883,
the people Of Herat again rebelled, and
murdered the ENJOYS whom he sent to
demonstrate with them. Timur avenged
this BY attacking and capturing the city.
He took 1000 Of the garrison and built
them mp with alternate layers of brick,
and mortar in the form OF 3 pyramid. as

The Yanitics Of Teaching.

The desire to push boy ahead to de-
velop precocious tendencies, to have
have bright pupils, is among the
vanities Of teaching. The surest
growths are the slowost. He who
makes haste slowly will generally win in
the long run-win at least all that is
worth having in the prizes Of life. This
truth will come to general acceptance
with education. A Goethe, Hugo, q
Carlisle and an Emerson living on to
green old age are Of more value to the
world than the corruscating careers Of
Burns and Byron and Poe, going ont in
an hour as it were, and leaving behind
them not so much the work they did as
the sorrow of mankind that they did not
do the great work that was in them

Now to make home attractive and

is raving about female suffrage, does she

does not think any such thing. She is
one of those masculine women who are
too idolent and hardened to have a soft
spot left In her bosom for such duties as
are required to be done for "home,

be allowed to invade the sanctum OF

her heart expanding around the family
hearth, instead of growing contracted
like those Of worldly minded women who
think they have call to go forth and

or by chance. Now, as home should be
