HELP FROM AFRICA,


 The shrewdest calculations of wise men have often been upset by something which was not in sight when their calculations were made. It may be SO In this gold busi- ness. For several years some of the wise have been asserting that gold is not the best thing for money, because there isn't enough of 1t and because there is no prob ability that there will be. But if the Afri- can gold fields pan out as they now seem certain to the wise ones will have to talk about something else for awhile. The area of these newer gold fields is not less than eleven miles long and experts who have made careful investigations test ify that there is f3l5, ,000, 900 worth of gold in sight. The deposits are of nature that presents no great difficulties to the working of them; and 1t is expected that the entire amount can be placed on the market in about ten years, provided the most improv- ed methods of extraction are employed and proper facilities for transportation furnish ed. The magnitude of this coming addition to the worlds supply of gold can perhaps be best understood by comparison with other famous deposits and their yield. The prospectiveAfrican supply amounts in terms of American money 10, say, $l ,527, 750, 900. On an estimate of 50,000, ,000 of gold exports from Australia per year, the total addition to the worlds supply from that country has been not much more than | $2, ,O00, ,000, 900 during the forty years that the mines have been worked. The new African mines are expected to fur nish three-qusrters as much as that in ten years. The annual supply from Africa during the next ten years prom ises to be three times the annual supply from Australia since the latter has been gold supplying country. Ths California mines In their most productive days did not supply more than s65, ,O0O, coo of gold per annum, little more than 10 per cent. of the annual supply now looked for in Africa At present the gold product of California is only about SIP ,000, 900 in value per snuum, less than what @ single months work promises to yield in Africa. According to the last report of the Director of the United States Mint, the entire gold product of this country in 1891 was only $S3, ,175, ,000. scarcely more than fifth of the promised African annual supply.
 The annual gold production of the world now amounte to sl26, 1890 If 1t is doubled by the African output it will make great change in situation which has long been unpleasant, and is getting to be dangerous.

A LEGIsLATIvE WHoOP.

Man never appears so awkward and SO "off his base" as when his powerful mind attempts to embrace some question con- cerning the attire of Woman. He can at times bodily embrace Woman without falling all over himself, but mentally he can neither embrace her nor anything ap- pertaining unto her. The latest illustrs- ton of this humilisting inability has been furnished by the Minnesota legislature, and 1t Is not surprising that blunderipg Democrat was the chief figure in it. Min nesota Is wide State, but the resppesr- ance of hoops there Is dreaded ss much as 1t is in Connecticut. And Representative Becker of the Minnesota legislature set his wits at work to devise some plan 10 keep them out of his State. He went at the business directly and stupidly, just like man. He offered bill making 1t unlawful for any per son to manufacture or sell, or to offer for sale or use, or to permit the manufacture, sale or use, of any hoop skirt or hoop skirts, or anything like thereunto, within the limits of Minnesota. If this bill becomes law any person violating it, or in any way assisting the violation of any provision of it, will be punished by a fine of not less than S5 nor more than S25 for each offense, and in default will be i'm prisoned in the county jail for period not exceeding thirty days.
 Of course the reading of this bill created great excitement, and nobody knew exactly what to do with it. One member got up and moved that it be referred to the Com mittee on Internel Improvements, but the in- appropriateness of this was immediately seen, and the motion met with no encourage ment. It was finally decided to refer 1t to the Committee on Corporations other than Municipal, and there 1t Is. This doesn't seem very appropriate, but 1t was the best that could be done by the men who had got themselves into difficulty by consider ing the question at all.
 If the Minnesota legislature passes this bill it will show good deal of courage. But if hoops are to be worn this year they will be worn in Minnesota. law or no law. Man, either In his domestic or legis- lative capacity, Is powerless against the decrees of Fashion. If Fashion wants Woman to hoop herself up the whoopings of Man against 1t will have about as much effect as our Old Sanitsrian's appeals for & fat salary have on the Board of Health.
