THE SUPPLY OF GOLD.
The Entire Worlds Supply Not More than
the United States Ought to Have.


the United States Ought to Have.
There are doubtless many who wish
to be informed as to the net gain in the
worlds supply of gold for money use.
The worlds total production of gold
for the calendar year 1892 was $3.50, sl6,-
627, of which the United States pro-
duced $4,000, OOO The net result in
the United States may be tabulated as
follows:
CALENDAR YEAR, 1892.
Loss by net exports .................t 5s57O. 5St
used IN the arts .................... 1873 5000
sT,s99 81
Year production ....".............. SS00,0C
Net loss ................... ...........s 4s99 5&
The worlds gold statistics may be summa
rized thus:
World production. $50 SIC, 62i
Used in arts in United States. ....... l9,S2s.OJO
Produced and imported by British
lnula .......,.................. 25.0O,00
tsSiS7,e2i
Used in arts in England and Euro
pean countries. .........-........ 100000
Netgain for money use .............s 46. 49,, s2'
Net loss by United States ........... 44sJ9 5S
Net gain BY England and Europe s 81. 81. 1853
1t will be understood that the item,
met loss to the United States" does
not figure in, or add to the worlds gain
for money use, but merely changes
the distribution Of gold already in such
use.
The amount of gold annually used in
the arts is not very definitely ascer-
tanned, but in 1856 it was estimated by
the then director Of the United States
mint to be SAC, 900, 900 per annum. Mr..
Giffin, the statistician of the London
board of trade, in 1882 estimated it at
$50, 100000. Senator John P. Jones, of
Nevada, estimates that almost the en-
tire production is used for non-mone-
tary purposes, while R. NJ. Widney,
president University National bank Of
Los Angeles, puts the average amount
used in the arts, 1881 to 1855, at s64, OOO,.
900 annually.
We are safe in assuming that the to
tai net gain in the worlds supply of
gold for money use in 1892, did not ex-
coed, even if it reached the sum of s45,-
100000 for the whole world, excluding
only British India
This is less than s2s per capita for
the increase in population in the Uni
ted States during 1892, When India,
with her $50, 1000, 200 of people, and a
net balance of trade in her favor above
all liabilities, averaging more than
800, 5000 year, begins to demand
gold to use as money, there will be
''wailing and crashing Of teeth" in
England and Europe.

A Scene In a nIalne Town.

One of Caribou's popular young bust
ness men was in Buckfeld recently with
his bride, and when about leaving town,
just before the train started, the bride
discovered that she had left one Of her
wraps behind. A messenger was dis
patched in haste to bring the garment,
and the conductor very kindly held the
train. The messenger arrived, and the
conductor, impatiently waiting for the
couple to enter the car, saw them start
on a mission among their many relatives,
and then remarked that unless his train
started at once he would be obliged to
claim a kiss from the bride. The happy
young married married man heard the
remark and hustled his bride on the car,
while his relatives and many friends
shook their handkerchiefs and hands as
the door closed and the train pulled out
from the station.-Aroostook (lde.) Re.

Hunting For an Old Man.

In the biography of DR.. Norman Mac
Leod there is an amusing account given
Of a visit he paid TO one Of the Western
islands to sec q man who was celebrated
in the district for his great age The
doctor found an old man 1--WE can only
quote from memory sitting on a bench
outside the house and gave him the usual
greeting, II heard that you were a very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you," "Itll be my father you want to
see" said the old man of the bench. So
the visitor went inside, and there, sit
ting over the peats, was a very old man
indeed, bent and doubled up, but still,
for all that, with all his wits about him.
Good day to you," said the good doc
tor. Il have heard about you, a very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you" Then he, too, declined the impu-
tation and pointed with his stick to the
"ben" Of the house. "Itll be my father
you want to see, said this old man Of
the fireside. So there in the "ben" the
original Simon Pure was discovered at
last, a very, very ancient old man in
deed, as may well be imagined.

Lett In ono Car In one Month.

A brown paper parcel of goodly pro-
portions was turned in at the lost article
bureau of the Wagner Palace Car com
pany a few days ago, the contents of
which give a fair idea of the kind of ar
ticles that the travellers on the rail leave
behind them in their forgetfulness. The
bundle aforesaid contained the collection
of lost articles made by the conductor of
one sleeping car for a month. The va
riety of articles thus accumulated was
amusing as well as interesting. When
the bundle was united on the broad ta-
BILE in the lost article bureau, the first
thing that rolled out was a silver han
died shaving brush. There was no ac-
companying razor, the owner probably
having remembered to put that useful
instrument back in his satchel. A full
set of false teeth nestled costly in a clus-
ter Of false hair and a small copy of the
Episcopal prayer book was jammed
against a neat leather covered pocket
flask OF toothbrushes and hairbrushes
and combs there were half a dozen each.
Other things in this odd collection in
cluded a baby's milk bottle, pair Of
ladies' slippers, one patent leather shoe
once worn by man, woolen under
shirt, manicure set in Russia morocco
case, two or three empty portmonnaies,
and, most singular Of all, a dainty little
bonnet so attractive in form and color
that it is a wonder how any woman
could have forgotten it.-New York

The Memory Of villains.

Although the world is said to know
nothing Of its greatest men, it has al
ways had an unaccountable and it would
seem invincible propensity for retaining
remembrance of the very worst speci-
mems Of humanity, and it is really ques-
tionable whether the laurel of the con-
queror and the bays of the poet are, in
the long run, quite 80 certain of enduring
fame as the halters which have strangled
the most notorious of scoundrels. The
French have not forgotten those old
time villains Cartouche and Mandrin,
while in England Dick Turpin and his
apocryphal ride to York have not passed
from the public memory.
The exploits of Jack Sheppard as q
burglar and prison breaker turn up
from time to time in the public prints,
and it is an almost scandalous fact that
quite modern fashionable dressmakers
have devised a costume named after
Claude Duval, a rascal in whose career
there is not one single picturesque or
romantic feature beyond the dubious
story that he once refrained from steal
ing the jewels of lady whose coach he
had stopped on condition that she would
alight from her equipage and dance a
coranto with him. The varlet was a
discharged footman Of the Duchess of
Portsmouth, and, taking the highway,
was in due course Of time caught, con-
victed and hanged at Tyburn. Yet
somehow or another it seems next to
the impossible to bury the memory of
these and similar malefactors in obliv-
ion.-Boston Herald.

Knights of St. John.

In the days of the Crusades there were several chivalric orders. The most cele- brated were the Knights of St. John and the Knights Templars. The order of St. John was established as hospitalIer order at Jerusalem in l048. About HIS the or der was reorganized on military basis. Driven from Jerusalem at the end of the Crusades in 120l, it migrated to Cyprus, from thence in 1901 to Rhodes, where it sustained two celebrated sieges; sojourned at Castro, Amalfi and Rome from 1522 to 1850, and possessed the Isle of Man from l530 to l198. The order was divided into eight languages or nationalities. The or der came to America in 1870, when the first encampment in America--St. Johns, No. A. G. k. S., now No. l, c. R. A.-was in- stituted. In olden times the head of the order was elected for life and his title was the grand master" His assistants were formed into general chapter or chapter general. The knights wore over their usual garments crimson surcoat embel- lished before and behind with broad white cross of eight points. In time of peace the dress of ceremony was long black mantle, upon which the same cross of white linen was sewed.
