The Hodcarriers in Germany.

As there are no hodcarriers in Ger
many, for the simple reason that hod
is as unknown there as an Irishman is,
each brick must be passed from hand
to hand again. The higher up the
bricklayers are the more men are re-
CURED to toss the bricks. Two men to
story is about the average with
enough more to lead from the front of
the building to the place where the
bricks are needed. Thus / have seen
three men on the ground, eight on the
front of the building, and five on the
top, making sixteen men through whose
hands each brick passed before it
reached its place of destination. l
have frequently stood and watched
single brick 90 climbing the front of a
building, leaping from hand to hand,
aud have wondered every time why
in the world hods, horse power or
steam engines were not used.

How congressman Dress.

The republicans are the best-drcsscd
people in both the Senate and House.
They have belter-kept boards, sleek
faces, and look as though they had
from 81 to s. in change in their
pockets, They looE as though they
think more of public matters than
about how to save 81, 800 per annum
out Of s., 900 salary. They wear good
clothes and polished shoes, and walk
with the air of men confident of posi-
ton, and above making the matter OF
personal appearance matterof study.
They leave external matters to good
tailors and bootmakers, pay the bills,
eat good beef and trimmings, shave
often, and have Their heads shampooed,
50 as to quicken clear thought and
smell sweet to their friends and wives.
Some of the democrats are just as well
kept and glide through the House like
gentlemen. Let us add here that dress
does not make the gentleman; but it
attracts gentlemen and suggests
clean skin. The plain democrats who
come here from the people glory in
being shod in nailed shoes and capped
with dropping, umbrella-like hat
Do these great fermentlng minds stop
to think that the man with the biggest
brains lately in the Senate, Roscoe
Conkling, left his measure with his
tailor when u boy, and never knows
what he puts on except as he receives
u package on the evening Of the sea-
sons as they come. Chester A. Arthur
is the ncatcst man in Washington al
most, and he has some brains too. Abe
Hewitt, Allison, Edmunds and Randall
are wearers Of good broadcloth, well
cut; 50 are dozens of others. Speaker
Kefcr is always ready for day call.
Vest, of Missouri, is always in we'll
shaped goods, and boldly wears a gold
chain around his neck heavy enough to
hold Yacht Ex-Vice President David
Davis is the picture Of responsibility.
George NJ Robson looks like an En-
glish lord. Members who get lodgings
in the suburbs for 81 day, two meals
included, spend the time they should
be circulating among their brother
members in the unfrequented hotels
and other quarters, walking to and
from their sour-milk homes. When
they get to their seats in the Capitol
they feel duh with bad stomachs, and
hardly get to thinking before Calkins,
Reed and other bright republicans
have them in the nine-hole. - IVaShtHg-

A Georgia Witch.

pings of Miss Lulu Hurst have
stry puzzled the people of Column
bu. 1t appears that Miss Lulu
is ssed of phenomenal and mys-
telpowers, of which the Columbus
foave not yet discovered the secret.
Sizes hold of billiard cue, and if
apn Of Columbus grasps the other
en- is speedily sat dancing about,
asitten by tarantula. She holds
u hair, and no man is able to force
1.-THE floor. She has been known to
ciwith ease chair upon which ten
frown men were perched, and
" one stalwart fellow of middle age
urtoOk to wrest billiard cue from
lgrasp she quickly chased him off
ttage in rout and confusion.
le dispatches which recount these
Iders furnish us with an easy clue
te mystery, though nobody in Col
pus seems to have discovered il.
are told that Miss Lulu is sweet
teen in appearance; that she has n
'asant face and "is Of admirable
ntour," whatever that may mean.
&c is further reported TO be yivacious
id winning in her ways.
Now given these qualifications, and
Iere is scarcely girl in America who
an not do all that Miss Lulu does and
lOre. We have known a young wo-
ian to set dozen young men dancing
bout in q ridiculous way, without
lsing billiard cue or any other wand
whatever. Miss Irene Macgillicuddy
knew all about such arts, and there are
scores Of women in New York who
have only to look at a young man in
order to deprive him at once of all self
and set him doing much moro
foolish things than any that are report
ed OF Miss Lulu's victims.
As to the supposed attempts Of the
Columbus young men to resist, their
futility is no more than is to be expect
ed in the circumstances. What Young
man ever did resist the witchcry Of a
young woman bent upon controlling
him? Aud the proverbial gallantry Of
The young Gcorgians makes ali thought
Of their success in such attempts es-
Decially absurd.
When Miss Lulu drove the stalwart
man off the stage, she
simply repeated performance familiar
10 all observers OF the ways of women.
The robust fellow is not an adept in
The art Of agreeable Irritation, and it
was quite a matter Of course that he
should be sent about his business.
In short the whole performance was
simply an exhibition on the stage Of
what is done every day at fashionable
resorts in the country. We do not
ieny that Miss Lulu is q witch, but her
witchcraft is neither peculiar nor re-
narkable. 1t is shared by every pref
y girl living who happens to delight
n the feminine art OF coquetry.-N \.

Gold Production.


Il has been shown by several of the
writers that up TO the year lS48 the
world had outgrown its supplies Of the
precious metals, and that commerce
was languishing for the wherewithal to
adjust the exchanges Of communities.
Previous to that year tho principal
sources Of supply were South America,
the west coast of Africa, Russia in
Europe and Asia, and the islands OF
the Malay archipelago According to
the calculations of NJ. Chevalier, the
total production of both gold and sill
yer from the sources between 1892 and
1913 was equal in value TO tl.74O,OO
900. The importation of gold, howev-
er, was small; and the total stock OF
the metal in Christendom in 1913 is
estimated to have been only 600, OOO,-
coo. The production since that year
has been very remarkable. Let US
look at the figures. In iS4S California
began to come forward; and in lojl
the Australian fields were opened. Be-
tween lS49 and 1875 the production OF
the world is estimated at f6l6, 600, 900,
$50 that in twenty-seven years the STOCK
of gold was more than doubled. The
average annual supply previous to 1918
was IS, 600, 600; in 1852 the production
was ESQ, 800 900. An Australian au-
thority estimates the yield of the colo
MES from 1851 to 1881 as f277,0OO,O 600;
and Mr.. Hogarth Patterson gives the
total production of the world between
1919 and 1880 as E7l0, 100000
The statisticians of the Uuited States
mint estimate that the total production
of cold in the world during the four
hundred years ending in 1852 was TO-
1874 tons, equal in value to Il, 442, 3j9,-
562. During the same year the pro,
duction of silver was l9l, 13l tons, OF
the value of Il, TIC, 463, 795. On the
basis OF the last three years, the aver
age annual production of gold in the
world is now f21, 800, 900. Taking 1881
as an illustration, the largest contribu-
tors were:
L. S........... 100000 Chli.........9 $3.50
