What Becomes Of the Gold.

III was grcwsOme suggestion that
a Filbert street dealer in old gold and
silver made in chat with customer
at his store yesterday. They were talk.
ing about the average yearly disap-
pearance of the precious metals, and
the customer confessed that he could
not understand why the percentage of
loss should be so large. MAYBE" in-
situated the dealer, ''you have never
counted up the total of the silver and
gold that are put away in the cemetc-
ries. Take, for instance, the 10000 in
terments in Laurel Hill. Judge that
at the lowest estimate 1000 of those
corpses had had their teeth filled with
gold at a cost of s. each. There is
$50. 600 accounted for, and we may
say that another thousand of the i'm
habitants of the city of the dead had
paid to their dentists 81 or So each for
silver filings. There is several thou
sand dollars more to be added to the
accounts. This is merely an estimate
for one cemetery in one city. Multi
plying it by the recognized places of
interment in all the Christian coun-
tries and add to it the calculation as to
the gold and silver ornaments that are
buried with the men and women who
wore them in their lives, the total will
amount to millions and will convince
you that we are putting in the ground
almost as large a quantity of the pre-
cious metals as we are taking from it. !"

Give water 10 Infants.

A distinguished children's doctor
believes, from his practice, that in
fants generally, whether brought up
at the breast, or artifcially, are not
supplied with sufficient water, the 1u-
id portion OF their food being quickly
taken up and leaving the solid too
thick to be digested easily. In warm,
dry weather, healthy babies will take
water every hour with advantage, and
their frequent fretfulness and rise in
temperature are often directly due to
their not having it. A free supply
of water and restricting the frequency
of nursing have been found at the.
nursery to be most effectual check
