Once upon time a particular kind Of

and the society that sported it came into
existence in Venice in the year 1900. Near

spread, but then highly infiammable
nation-the French-took it up, and no
one with any pretensions to erudition
rested content without the Bias bleu club

by and the fad spread to Eng gland, where
blue stockings existed until 1910, when, in

What Has Become of the Goldq

Out Of $500, 100000 of gold produced in
the United States up to the end Of 1891, it
is held that only about sGS9, OOO, 900 remains
in the country in the form of coin and bull
lion, while the enormous sum of S1,2I1,-
100000 had entirely disappeared. Where
can it be? Without doubt a great deal of
it was sent to Europe We have the gov
eminent official returns. They show ex-
ports from 1913 to the end of 1891, in excess
of imports, of S470,0O0,O0O. This amount
deducted from the remainder of 81, 211. O0O,-
600 would leave a balance of S941, 000, 900.
Here, then, is the enormous amount OF
S741 ,OOO, 600 in gold which cannot be &C
counted for. How much Of it is hid away
in odd corners, in the old stockings of
frugal housewives, in the boards of misers?
The people must have a large amount of
gold coin so secreted. Handouts of gold
pieces treasured in broken teapots and
other such receptacles, and even iron pots
full, are sometimes dug up where they
were buried and forgotten.
1t would not be surprising If more than
hundred million OF dollars were so hid
den away by the people. Then there is a
large amount in plate and ornaments,
watches, jewelry and other forms in which
gold is consumed. But how much is sunk
in the sea, in rivers, in the lakes, by the
wreck and burning of vesselsS Nobody
can answer. The most OF this is lost for
ever. There are S741, 000, 900 of American
gold taken out since the discovery of Cali
fornia to be accounted for. Where is it?-

Had No Eaith in a Dream.

''Dr. d. S. Martin is now living near

good doctor, who did valiant service dur
ing the cholera epidemic in Chicago, was
living with his wife at Galena, Ills Mrs.
Martin, who was also a practicing ply

very rich lead mine was located She took
her husband and a neighbor to the spot
and instructed them exactly how to pro-

them had any faith in dreams, and, after

A Race of WarIike DwarfS.

The inhabitants Of the Andaman islands
are the smallest race of known human be-
ings-that is, taken as an average. The
height of a full grown Andamandi seldom
exceeds 81 feet and few weigh over sixty
five pounds. They are said to be marvel
ously swift on foot as well as being
possessed with extraordinary powers of
endurance. The few travellers who occa-
sionally visit the islands avoid contact
with the dwarfs as far as possible, par ial-
ly on account of their extreme filthiuess.

Referring edisorislly TO the elements
that contributed TO democratic success in
the west, the Chicago Daily News of yes
teIdsy says: The political revolution
OF Nov. has other aspects than the re-
tirement OF republican political leaders.
In the west especially the democratic
victory was won by new leaders employ
ing new devices. Conspicuous among
these are Chairman Gable of Illinois and
Chairman Wall OF Wisconsin. Chair
man Fullen OF Iowa fell short of winning
the laurel, Chairman Tsggsrt of Indi-
ana is at the front. These gentlemen in
the very nature of things constitute q
new democratic peerage. 1t is fortunate
for the country that the methods en-
ployed by them in the recent campaign
have Lot been harshly criticised by their
opponents. The ascendency of these
gentlemen in democratic politics will be
measurably assisted by the fact that
hereafter the democrats are likely to look
to The west for their msjOrities." The
News, after continuing it's discussion of
the political revolution in Illinois, and re-
ferring in general to prominent democrats
Of the state, concludes,
Whether Nr. Cable will be able to
maintain the ascerdency in Illinois poll
tics secured by his management of the
campaign for Mr.. Cleveland is problem
that can only be solved by time. MIR.
Gable was able TO win through careful
choosing of his assistants and through a
conjunction of favorable contributory
causes. His ability will be tested in 3
great degree by his ability to withstand
the dangerous Establishments of success.
The News need have no fears OF Mr..
Cables success as a political manager
having any serious effect upon him per-
sonally. His political career has just
fairly begun. he conducts his campaigns
from practical business standpoint, and
views whatever success may attend his
efforts, as any business man, and as in
deed such success is-the rightful fruit

Staten Island Relics OF Gar:buldi.

Near ROsebank station, Staten Island, is
en- old house, once a hosiery, which was
kept by an Italian named Meucci some
thirty years ago. and which was the home
of the elder Garihaldi during his then
troubious times.
Ola MeUcci is long since dead, but near
his house still lives his Old neighbor, Bach
mann, now a prosperous brewer, who was
during the Garibaldf occupancy a candle
manufacturer. Mr.. Bachmann tells of
day spent by the patriot in the factory, the
result of which was the making Of several
dozens of candles by the patriots own
hands. These candles were of wax and
cast in the tricolors of Italy. Mr.. Bach
mann thought it probable that some of
these famous candles must be preserved by
the friends and admirers OF their maker,
and inquiry brought out the fact that Sig
nor Henrico BoneqUin, proprietor of the
baldi candles carefully preserved in
handsome lacQuered box. Bonequin says
that he bought the candles some years ago
at the auction of old Meucci's effects,
which included the patriots bed, the ia
nous red shirt, the candles and two boiled
eggs cooked for Garibaldi TO order, but left
unbroken in the surprise and haste of his
sudden departure from the place.
The shirt and eggs were sent to Italy,
the bed was bought by an old Irish woman
for the sum of two dollars and su bsequetit-
ly sold by her for slO0-New York Cor.

The democrats can elect governor in
Connecticut and carry the state for their
electoral ticket time, time and again, We,
as the Quincy Herald says, the Nutmeg
state hobs up continually and elects re-
publican United States senators. No
gerrymsnder in the country is so unjust
and villsinous az the system in Connecti-
cut, which gives to the small republican
districts practically the s,me representa-
ton as the large democratic cities of
Hartford, New Haven and Fairfield.
Connecticut usually elects three demo-
Gratis out of four congressman, and the
state has been carried by the democracy
in every election but one since 1872 and
yet during ali those 20 years it has
been represented, or, rather, misrepre-
sented by republican senators.
