The American street car or the ticket
window Of a railroad station frequently
offers this unpleasant spectacle: ~
well-dressed, and, to all outward APP
p~earances. a well-bred woman, opens
her pocketbook, picks out a piece of
money and deliberately puts it in her
mouth and holds it there while she
closes her purse, readiusts her gloves
and arranges her many packages. If
some modern Smollet would lay before
her eyes The Adventures of a Dime;''
If she could dimly conceive OF the un-
utterable foulness through which the
coin she holds between her dainty lips
has probably passed, a loathing horror
would overwhelm her. But in blissful
Inconsistencies she caresses that which
is the embodiment of all flthiness.
Aside from the view of cleanliness is

nasty habit Is often responsible for the

Some Girlish Nmlgarities.

An unpleasant habit of our young
ladies is that of munching candies at
matinees, concerts, lectures, at all pub
lie places, in fact, sometimes not even
excepting church, the vulgarity of
which act in any public place whatever
is apparent at a glance-vulgarity of
bad taste of appetite. and of the display
OF eating, as well as of the scattering
of the redOlence of the candies upon
the atmosphere in many instances, the
habit being one which has inspired the
witty pencils of many among our
eminent caricaturists. a custom as
much worse than this as ~uuiindnes5
and want of consideration are worse
than vulgarity is that OF regarding the
~late-Ccmers at theutcr or concert-who
enter quietly. anxious to make as little
disturbance as may be, veXcd with
themselves more than any one else can
be veXed with them-aS If they were
something only short Of murderers. riS-
ing the while with an air OF unspcNk-
able hauteur, and drawing back rs if
the touch oftheir garments were dciile-
ment, assuming a scorn of the proceed
ing and the prOceedcrs which really is
only anger at being disturbed. OF
course it is dlsagrecable to gather up
all ones goods and rise in this way. but
the hardness is so much an accident
that may happen to us all that it ought
to be taken in a democratic spirit, and
according to the treatment that it
would be pleasant in turn to receive,
our best manners, after all. being but
the expression of true christianity.

American Minerals.

The enormous agricultural wealth OF
the Unitid States has always been con-
sldered as far ovcr-shadowing the value
of the mineral resources, but it would
seem hat only "a faint conception of the
value of American minerals exists. An
official report recently issued by the
government throws a lime-lignt upon
the the Importance of native minerals
and the possibilities that generous de-
velOpmcnt will accomplish. A list en-
bracing seVenty-three metallic and
~thirty-nino nOn-metalic minerals has
been published, and the figures given
are almost incredible. An average an
nual output for five years from 1882 to
1857 of $3.50, 900 600 has been reached,
with good reason to suppose by applica-
ton OF the rule Of ratio that the next
five years would see the annual average
doubled. Coal leads in the totals
with a value of S2,4l6, 924, 1872,
iron, gold and silver combined
not quite equaling this amount. Pig
iron is second with a value of S7l9, 1885,
500, silver third with $2if, 400, 200, and
gold is fourth with $3.50, l0l 900. The
