GREAT OUTPUT OF GOLD.
Over $50, 900, 900 Worth of the YelIov
Metal Mined In 1898.

Over eIBO,OOO, 900 Worth of the Yellow
Metal Mined In 1893.
Returns received at the Treasury
Department indicate that the gold out
put for 1893 will reach the almost un-
precedented amount Of $37, 200, ,OCO, an
increase over 1892 of $4,000,O00. In
Colorado The output has increased from
$4,000, 900, in 1892, TO S5, 600, 900 in 1893,
while the gains IN other gold-producing
sections are unusually large. The
Australian production will carry the
production OF the world, 1t is thought.
to $3.50, 900, 900, which is gain OF sl2,.
OOO,0 900 for the yea-. With one or two
exceptions this is the largest output
ever known. The gold fields Of South
Africa seem TO be rapidly taking the
place Of the California and Australian
fields as the bonanza finds OF the pres
ent decade.
Report, from the Witwetersrandt
region alone show total product for
1893 OF ! ,479, 476 ounces of ore, yielding
product OF refined gold of value In
excess OF S25, 100000. The production
in this region Is increasing at an aston
ishing rate and South Africa bids fair
during the present year to push her
way to the head of the list of gold-pro-
ducing countries. The figures for 1892
put Australia at the head OF the list
with production OF $50, 800, the
United States second at $4,000, 600,
Russia third at S24.6O6. 200. and Africa
fourth at S23, 7O6, 900. The full returns

WOMAN suFFRAGISTS.
Annual Convention of the National Ass

Annual Convention OF the National Asso-
citation I'm Washington.
The twenty-sixth annual convention
OF the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association b gan in Washing
ton with q large attendance OF dele
gates representing all parts OF the
country. The session was devoted to
the presentation of reports. The re-
port of the Executive Committee
recommended that the special effort OF
the association be concentrated on the
campaign in Kansas and New York,
the two States where there Is to be q
test vote this year. Mrs. Lille ID.
Blake. the membe of the Executive
Committee from New York, spoke OF
the work there, and predicted success
for woman suffrage In the coming con-
stitutional convention In New York.
Mrs. Laura M. Johns, of Kansas, said
that the work for the enfranchisement
OF women had progressed farther in
Kansas than in New York.
The night session Of the convention
was very largely attended, and those
seated on the plat orm included Dis
trict Commissioner Ross, Senator Tel
ler, of Colorado, and Representatives
Pence ard Bell, of the Same State.
The Presidents address was then de-
livered by Miss Anthony. 1t was a
brief, interesting, and critical review
OF the cause of woman suffrage, with
frequent caustic allusious to the ac-
tion OF the courts in their decisions
affecting the laws passed by the States
for the enfranchieement of women.

A RELIGIOUS WAVE.
Almost Unparalleled In Its Extent, SweeI
ing the Southwest.

Almost Unparalleled In Its Extent, Sweep
ing the Southwest.
The fact has often been noticed and
commented upon that a religious wave
of greater or less degree Of power al
ways follows period of financial de-
preston. This winter furnishes no ex-
ception to the rule. The reports since
the close of summer, although coming
from widely separated points and scat
tered over several months of time,
have nevertheless shown that relig-
ious revival. almost unparalleled in its
extent and force, has been and is now
sweeping over the country. In order
to ascertain the effect of this revival
in what Is usually considered st. Louis
territory, leading newspaper of St.
Louis recently directed a number Of its
correspondents In the States of Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas and
Texas to report the number and results
of religious revivals In the evangelical
churches of their respective counties
since the first of last September.
The results of this inquiry, although
not as complete as was desired, owing
to the inability Of a great many corre-
spondents to get reports from the
country districts, the unwillingness of
some OF the ministers to furnish infor-
nation and other causes, the object is
nevertheless fully attained in the in
teresting reports which follow. These
show that in III counties of the States
named there have been during the
past five months SO, 99l conversions and
40, ,0l0 accessions to the churches. OF
the total, 81 counties in Missouri report
20, 216 conversions and 17,071 additions
to the churches; 81 counties in Illinois,
Is, e52 conversions and IA, PAT additions;
81 counties in Kansas, S,574 conversions
and 1927 additions; % counties in
Texas, 100 conversions and 7,345 adj
ditions; 10 counties in Arkansas, 2,249
conversions and 2,120 additions. The
average per county Is in the neighbor-
hood Of 800 in all Of the States.
The denominations which have bene-
fited the most by means Of these re-
vivals report the following accessions:
Methodist, 21,Si0; Baptist, 1877;
Christians, 500; Presbyterians, 1900.

The oysters are stewed In their own
liquor in a large glass of the best sher-

When We May Fly.

What is now required is that the
field of research and experiment
should no longer be left to impractical
enthusiasts, as for the most part it
has been of yore. 1t is high time
that really competent and well-in.
formed mechanical engineers should
follow the example of Mr.. Maxim and
Prof. Langley by turning their at
tention to the subject. Once let
this be done and | am satisfied that
the problem will be in a fair way OF
solution and cannot fail ultimately
Of a satisfactory issue.
Nevertheless, after some consider.
able study Of the question, l have
persuasion amounting to a conviction
that whatever partial or temporary
success may attend all such machines
as Mr.. MaXim's, which depend upon
locomotiOn through the air for sus,
tanning power in it, the ultimate
solution of the problem will be some
thing different. That is, l believe
that a really safe, workable, and
reliable flying machine must be based
upon the principle Of dissociating the
stable vertical suspension in the air,
If required, from horizontal locomo-
ton through it. Such machine
must be capable of rising vertically
in the air in dead calm, and re.
naming suspended in it, as apart
from, or in addition to, any question
of horizontal locomotion through the
air.
Moreover, it must be so CONSTRUCTED
that no possible breakdown or failure
in any engine, or in any part of the
gear will endanger the lives Of the
passengers. But these conditions
will no doubt involve a considerable
further reduction in the ratio Of
weight carried to power developed
in the motor, and for this we must
be content to await the further
progress of science.
Once let this vital issue of stable
suspension in the air be satisfactorily
achieved in II really sound, safe, and
reliable way, and the consequences
which will follow from the new de-
parturc are enormous and incal.
culable. Contemporary Review. :.

WISE WORDS.

Public opinion is II tyranS and a
coward.
Public sentiment is manufactured
product.
Wisdom and women are not homo
geneous.
Most women are liable to explode
at any moment
The "promoter" is one who blows
soap bubbles for grown up children.
Tho scoundrel best knows how much
misery may be brought by success.
We pity man who "goes to the
dogs" without thought for the dogs.
Absolute contentment is absolute
rest, and absolute rest is annihilation.
1t is fortunate for plutocracy that
muscle is as slow to act rs labor is to
learn.
Some faces are constant reminders
of IA bow of black ribbon on the knos
of the door,
Tho little wheel must turn faster
than the large wheel in order to mako
the same pace.
A man with one bal habit always
has two-the habit itself and the habit
of lying about it.
The life of happiness is still hope,
for on the summit of the highest hap
piness is the hope Of one yet higher.
The light words of the talkative per-
son arc not meaningless, but their
moaning is by NJ means compliment
tary to tho talker.
There ara two reasons why somo
people don't mind their own business.
One is that they haven't any mind;
the other, that they haven't any busi-
ness.
Civilized communities arc divided
into two equally dangerous classes;
those who find fault and do nothing,
and those who find Office and do every
body.
Like a nettle fastened in the smocl1
is that irretrievably faulty one OF
llith who has virtues which cannot b,
denied and generosity which will no
be rcpulsed.
There is II balance in nature whici
might be called recompenso. Ta
repose is in proportion to the wearl,
ness, the flow has its reauy, anl ths
mental scale dips equally with it'll
weight of pleasure or pain.
Ask not a prophet where he obtained
his authority, or refocmer his dele

mouth, the handle of the plowshars
was placed in the hand and upon tho
shoulders was laid the burden of the

Various Grades of Salt.

There is an old boarding house joke
to the effect that chronic grumbler
on leaving once said to his landlady
that she provided her boarders With
the very best salt he had ever tasted.
This was supposed to be funny, but as
matter of fact there is much differ
ence between different grades of salt
as between different grades of sugar.
Because salt is nearly rs cheap as sand,
people are apt to consider that it is of
very little Importance anyhow, but
the trade IN it is avery extensive one,
although it does not yield much profit.
This universal condiment can be
bleached and prepared for the table
SO as to make it quite ornamental as
we'll as useful, OF it can be served up
in shape unpleasant to the eye and
almost imperceptible to the taste.--
