THE WOES or ICELAND.
Things Seem to he Going from Bad
Worse There.

Things Seem to BE Going from Bad te
Worse There.
The accounts which have just
reached Europe from that most dis
tressful island in the Arctic seas give
rs little reason to hope that anything
can be done to remedy the woes of -oe-
land essentially. Like most of the re-
mainder of the world, that remote lit
tie country has enjoyed this year an
almost unprecedented wealth of sun
light and heat, says the London Satur-
day Review. The brief Icelandic sum
mer can have a rare beauty of its own
and that Of 1898 has been enchanting.
Steady drought IN June, rains in July.
and warm, dry weather again IN
August, brought on the hay to great
advantage, and the latest batch of let
ters speak of the harvest as unusually
promising. Almost everywhere along
the coast the fisheries haye been ex-
cellcntly successful. 1t is plain, there
fore, that for once Iceland has had q
chance from the. weather, which has
of late years been its most cruel
enemy.
If succession oe good seasons like
the present had occurred dozen yeas
ago Iceland might have been saved.
But especially since the political sgita
tions of 1885. which disturbed and dis
couraged the population. things have
been going materially from, bad to
worse. We are occasionally called
upon to listen to jereniads about Ice
landic starvation from those whose
sentiment for the Icelanders is more
active than their information is exact,
and the English public has become
suspicious of cries Of Wolff But the
present season, with its excellent
weather and good supplies of food, has
not shown any reaction against the
draining away OF the people. This
summer no fewer than six hundred
persons emigrated to America, bring
ing the population belo-v that limit Of
seventy thousand to which it had al
ready dwindled. The island now con-
tains, it is believed. fewer inha bitants
than it did in 1870, before tie tenn
porary rise in IcelanGic prosperity.
Ihe emigrapts are largely of the farm
laboTer class, and there is growing
complaint that portions of the country
are going out Of cultivation because
there is no one to work On the land.
The great geyser has been very
sluggish this year. and it is believed
that weather which is excellent for
crops acts in a deplorable way upon
this class Of phenomena. 1t is by her
extraordinary sieh and by the visit
ors drawn to see them that Iceland
must hope to live.

Decadenc@ of Patches.

Do you ever notice how few patches
people are wearing? il is because
clothing is so much cheaper now than
it used to be, that it is not worth while
pulling old garments together. When
they are worn out, they go into the rag
bag or are given to tramps and new
ones ordered of the custom tailors. or
more often are bought outright at the
nearest hand-me-down shop. A pair of
colonial boots, recently shown in a
covered with homemade patches
Such exhaustive eking out of old boots
is not in vogue nowadays: 1t is cheaper
and better to get new goods.

A SIGN OF MISERY.

Abundance of Obsolete Gold Coins in
England Has n Sad Meaning.
Anyone who has collected old french
or old German coins still in occasional
circulation. say the thalers of Frederick
the Great, or the forty-franc pieces of
the first Napoleon. knows that Berlin
and Paris are not the cities TO find
them in. The capitals have the latest
issues from the mint. 1t is either in
remote villages or in some locality
where want asserts itself as factor
in outlay that the old coins come to
the monetary surface. Homburg or
Baden or Wiesbaden was the likeliest
place in which 10 find the debased
coinage Of King Frederick-not lately,
but thirty years ago. when the gaming
table drew them from the stockings.
So at this moment handful of gold
pieces at Monte Carlo shows q larger
area of sovereignties than a money
changers entire till in the Palais
Royal. Within the last week the same
law is asserting itself in London and
in the big cities of the north, says the
Westminster Gazette. Light gold and
obsolete gold is in brisk circula ton.
and the explanation is sad enough
Long ago the methodical Londoner
paid into his bank all his pre-Eic-
torian gold. but the poor are their own
bankers and their deposits are their
own boards. The well-wora coins
now going about show the breaking
up of these long and carefully guarded
reserves II is but one other evidence
of the Wilderness and the cruelty OF the
priva.ion by which we are surrounded

SHOTGUN ACCIDENT.

William Holmes, a young man who has
been for some time at work for c. V. Palm
er, farmer on the Greenberry Smith island
four miles south of this city, was brought
into town yesterday for medical treatment
on a severe gun-shot wound in the face. He
had the left nostril torn away in a big chunk
and had suffered a prostrating shock from
which he had hardly recovered when he
reached DIR. Farra's Office several hours af
ter sthe accident. To GAZETTE reporter
Young Holmes stated that he was hunting
with an old style muzzle.loading shot gun
on the island; that he drew his piece to fire
at some ducks, and that was the last lie
knew until he recovered consciousness about
two hours afterwards at point full two
hundred yards from where he discharged
the gun; that what became of the gun, or
as to any immediate particulars of the Incl
dent he has not the slightest knowledge, as
he did not stop to investigate but struck out
for home, his bewiidered senses leading him
first to the residence of Mr.. Gcarhart a
neighbor. Mr.. Palmer brought the injured
man into town where, having his wound
properly dressed he goes about all
right aud Will probably round up out of the
difficulty ith no more serions effect than
slight djsfguration of his facial comellness.
