Gold and Silver Product.

A valuable report from the director of
the mint states that the total product Of
gold and silver in the United States during
1887 exceeded $S6,500,000. OF this total
the gold was $33.O93,OOO. California is
the largest producer of the yellow metal,
the yield of her mines exceeding $13, ,000,-
900. The director estimates that last
year the net gain to the country of bull
lion and coin by imports was $2S, 500, 900,
and that we used in the industrial arts
about $14. 500, 900 worth of gold and $5,-
100000 worth Of silver. The product of
these precious metals in the United States
appears to be more than one-third that of
the whole world. In 1886 the world rro-
duced about 500, 900, 900 of gold and $780,
100000 of silver. If. however, of our
production Of these metals is large for
our population, our consumption of them
is proportionately large and seemingly ex-
travagant. The worlds annual consump-
tion of gold and silver, as nearly as can
be determined, is respectively $46,000,-
900 and $22.000,000 The population of
the United States cannot now he more
than ) per cent. that Of the world, but
we use in the industrial arts not far from
30 per cent. of all the gold and % per
cent. of all the silver similarly consumed
by all the world.-New York Herald.

TOman's Fancies Concerning .Jey-elrv

A long time ago, that day when the
world moved at the nod of Cleopatra, the
Egyptian women saved all their gold to
buy emeralds for their daughters, because
the possession of them not only insured
freedom from all physical ills, but made
In their hearts an ever spring well Of
hope, forcing them to be cheerful, happy
women Sometimes the emerald was en-
graved with cabalistic characters, oftener
its smooth surface was untouched; what
could not be accomplished by the precious
gem itself certainly could not by the aid
of mysterious symbol Then the Sici-
liam women bought coral for their babies,
believing that it not only brought to
them good health, but counteracted the
effect of the evil eye and kept away the
wicked spirits. It seemed for while as if
the same interest was going to be taken
in coral now that was then, for beautiful
pink coral framed in diamonds was not
only shown in the large jewelry shops,
but was worn by some very smart women.
However, the fancy seems to have died
out; coral is no longer either displayed in
the window or on the woman Unfor.
tunately both of these health giving orna.
ments, the emerald and the coral, are
easily initiated. which destroys their
value in the eyes Of the gem colect-

hair pins temptingly displayed. AS we

golden fruit, forbidden US by the shallow

A Curious CITY.

Imagine city with most of its streets
narrow, muddy and crowded, where the
seller of lottery tickets takes the place of
the newsboy, where the PAYERS of the
street, the conductors of the cars, the
clerks in the stores, the policemen on
their beats, the soldier with his musket,
the barefooted men and women who
peddle their wares and the very beggars
at the doorways all smoke cigarettes or
cigars. The street cars carry the cof
fined dead to the cemetery, with the
mourners in the cars that follow. Men,
women and children, half naked and
without shoes, bear the burdens that we
put upon drays and wagons; water car
riers peddle the limpid fluid from the
aqueducts from house to house. Every
other woman has baby dangling con-
tentedly from a sack upon her back.
Imagine the picture and you get
glimpse Of the street scenes that you
look upon about the great plaza, facing
the costly palace and the magnificent
cathedral Of the City of Mexico City
