An additional and by no means adc-
quately appreciated cause of the strngency
of money is the growth of the passion for
boarding gold among the lower classes
with the increase Of prosperity, Our i'm
mensc foreign population does not crave
halfas much for paper money as it does for
gold, Some of them--thc Italians, the
Austrians and the Russians for instance
had some sad experience with paper money
at home They don't know any
thing about the solidity of green
backs, bank notes. bonds and
savings banks. What they are anr-
ious to get is gold piece, and the moment
they get it they hide it. Nothing but the
opportunity of buying at bargain land,
cattle, or house, ever brings those piece,
out again. 1t has been calculated that
some $500, 000 900 have thus been distracted
from the circulation during the last three
years of growing prosperity throughout
the continent. Women represent very
important factor in this boarding process.
A woman of almost any European ma
tionality prefers gold coin to a
piece Of clothing, piece of furniture, or
anything else-exccpt, possibly, n piece OF
jewelry. An old Frenchman 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 the next morning
that the coin must have rolled ont of the
vest pocket, "Yet she is very honest
woman" added he. "She would never
touch the bank notes but her passion for
boarding gold is invincible. ] don't mind
it, thonrb. for she will give it all back If 4
rainy day comes.n

Taxes in Holland.


 Taxes in Holland, MT. Bird tells us, are generally very high, and, it is clear, are often very mischievous Here they might learn much from us. '"There is a tax on every window, door, chimney, servant, and on every article of household furniture in use. One must even pay for the privilege of earning one's daily bread no man being permitted to carry on a profession, trade or occupation of any sort unless he obtains what is called patent" The poor taxpayer has not even the satisfaction of having his taxes called for He must take the money to the collectors office, and often loses an hour or two while waiting till the great man can at tend to him. Should he be behind in the payment, one or two hungry militiamen are quartered in his house at his expense until he has cleared off his arrears. Two hundred years ago boots and shoes "those articles so essential to human comfort" as our author somewhat needlessly describes them, were not only taxed, but were conspicuously marked on the upper leather with the government stamp. Medical men have their fees fixed by law and fixed at low rate. To make up for thIs, no druggist can sell the simplest mix ture unless the prescription of a doctor be produced If man is suffering from head ache or toothache, though he may know of some remedy which will give him relief, he cannot procure it until he has consulted medical man. In some parts of Holland the houses of the poorer Boers are but little bet ter than Irish cabins. "The family live all together in one large room, divided by wood en partitions, which serves as parlor, kitchen and bedroom, and is not infrequently shared with COW or donkey" The bed is huge box, filled with heather or seaweed. and in districts exposed to floods is often raised to height of six or seven feet above the floor. In respect of cleanliness these poor people are far superior to the Irish. Even if a la lNr..- r.,,A,-. d. ' he, his wife, and his children will be seen every Sunday respectfully dressed and scrupulously clean" It is a very common custom for the peasants to leave their wood en shoes outside the doors of their cottages, so that they may not carry the dirt inside By counting the number of shoes it can be readily seen how many people there are at one time in the house

A. Wards Lecture on ''The Babes In the
 Wood"
From Good Words.

From Good Words.
 Ward started in California with an an. nouncement that he would lecture on ''Babes in the Wood" He said he preferred this ti- tie to that of My Seven Grandmothers. y Why, nobody knows for there was of course to be as little in the lecture about babes in or out of the wood, as about seven or any other number of grandmothers. ''The Babes in the Wood'' was never written down; a few sentences only have survived of per- formance which was destined to revolution ize the comic featuring of the age. The ''Babesn seem only to have been alluded to twice-frst at the beginning, when the lec- turer gravely announced 'The Babes' as his subject, and then, after rambling string of irrelevant witticisms, which lasted from an hour to an hour and a half, he concluded with, II now come to my subject-'The Babes in the Wood " Then taking out his watch, his countenance would suddenly change-surprise, followed by great per plexity At last, recovering his former con- posture, and facing the difficulty as best he could, he continued: ''But l find 1 have ex- ceeded my time, and will therefore merely remark that, so far as I know, they were very good babes, they were as good as or dinary babes." Then, almost breaking down and much more nervously, ''I really have not time to go into their history you will find it in all the story books" Then, get ting quite dreamy, "They died in the woods, listening to the woodpecker tapping the ho!- low beech tree" With sone suppressed emotion, ''It sad fate for them, and I pity them so I hope do you. Goodnight" " The success of this lecture throughout Cali fornia was instantaneous and decisive The reporters complained that they could not write for laughing, and split their pencils desperately in attempts to take down the jokes. Every hall and theatre was crowded to hear about the Babes and the 'Lyce- um' lecturer of the period, ''what crammed hisself full of high-soundin' phrases, and got trusted for soot of black clothes," had nothing to do but to go home and destroy himself

 The ''No Rent' Manifesto to be With drawn.
 LONDON, May 4.-In the House of Com mons tonight, immediately after the an- nouncement was made of Davitt's release from prison, Gladstone rose and said that he had received communication stating that
 the mo rent" manifesto would be withdrawn Dillon, O'Kelly and Sexton immediately in- qulred of the speaker from whom he had re- ceived the communication, whereupon Glad stone said that ParneJI had made the con- munlcat1on. This announcement created 8 sensation. MT. Forster then rose and said ] that he wished to make personal explanation ln regard to his resignation of the office of
 the chief secretaryship of Ireland. He stated
 that the reason for the step he had taken was
 that he was firmly of the opinion that the
 release of the Irish suspects would encourage
 crime and disorder in Ireland Mr. Forster continuing said that had he been left unfet- tered in office he would have detained the
 suspects in prison until proper respect for law had been secured. None of the condi- tons Of the government for the arrest and imprisonment of suspects had been fulfilled No promise had ever been given that they would cease their acts of intimidation and outrage nor cease their tactics for obstruction of business in Parliament, and their release
 in his opinion was unconstitutional and was entirely foreign to what he thought was proper measure for restoring peace and order in Ireland. In conclusion Mir. Forster | entreated the House not to buy obedience to the law by granting further concessions.
 Great cheering followed Forster's remarks.
