MONEY STOCKS OF THE WORLD.
The Highest Per Capita Il In France and
the Lowest in China.


A report recently issued by the treas,
ury department presents table show
ing the monetary systems and approx
innate stocks of money in the aggre-
gate and per capita in the principal
countries of the world.
From this table it appears that
France, with population of SO, 800, 600,
has the highest per capita of any Of
the countries named in the table. it
being S36.S1. ''The Straits Settle
ments," with population of $500, 600,
follows with per capita of 1854.
Closely following and having very
nearly the same per capita are Bel
GUM, S26.70; Australia, S26.O5; the
United States, Sa6.O2, and the Neither
lands, s24.34. In China, a country hav-
ing population of 400, 700. 900, the
masses apparently do not have much
to handle, for the per capita is but
bl.s0, all in silver. Countries follow
ing China closely in this respect are
Roumania, with a per capita of 81 60;
Servia, S4.27; Sweden, S2.71; Turkey,
$3.50, a population of SO, 200, 900; Cen
trail American states, S3.7s; Japan, "a;
India, S3.44, against population of
PSI, 200, 600; Hayti. $3.50.
The money issued by the United
Kingdom is sufficient to give each in
dividual S2o.44 if equally divided,
and that of Germany 1855 to each
person. Portugal with population
of but 100000, has a per capita Of
S2l.O6, and Egypt per capita of $40 IS.
The South American states have a
per capita Of sl9.67: Canada, $40; Cuba,
R1o.S1; Italy, $3.50; Switzerland, S14 IS;
Greece, s12.22; Spain, s17.14; Austria
Hungary, $3.50; Norway, $500; Dem

ulation of 124, 600, 900, and Mexico. IS.
Since this statement was tabulated the
per capita circulation of the United
States has decreased to SIS. SO.
The table puts the stock of gold
money at ss,e01. 900, 600: silver, SO, oS1,-

July the ruby, August the sardonyx,
September the chrysolite, October the

1t is said that Queen Victoria has

the unfortunate Empress Eugene it ia

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
The Bride In Fashionable New York We'd

There is material for a romance to sat
isfy the most exacting readers in the life
story of Miss Nina Price, the adopted
daughter of Millionaire j. Cooper Price of
Toledo, who became the wife of Henry
Dodge Tichenor in New York city the
other day.
When Mrs Tichenor was 10 years old,
she was found upon the streets of Toledo
by Mr.. Price, who has reared a monument
to his name by his acts of philanthropy in
his native city. She then bore the name
of Lily Highlander. The helpless child APP
pealed to the kind hearted merchant, and
he took her to his heart and his home and
adopted her.
After persistent investigation Mr.. Price
succeeded in locating the girls mother,
and having secured her consent to the

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Gases of Its Occurrence In and
Effect on Human Bodies.

Medical literature of this country as
well as that of England and continental
Europe relates many remarkable in
stances of the spontaneous combustion
of the human body. In all such cases,
which are the more interesting on &C
count of their comparative rarity, the
victim has been a person addicted to the
immoderate use Of spirituous liquors,
either as beverage or in the form OF
bath. Little by little all the water and
other liquids of the body are replaced by
alcohol, and then all that is necessary
to cause a catastrophe is to find some
means of applying fame to the spurious
gases which are escaping from every
PORE Occasionally the breath OF the
poor victim is fired while lighting
pipe or cigar, or it may be that
fame comes in contact with and lights
the alcoholic vapors which are escaping
from some other portion of the body.
When once the fire is applied, blush
fame extends very rapidly to all parts
of the body, leaving it shapeless mass
of charred flesh and calcined bones In
many instances aUC6npUS nave DS6u
made to extinguish the flames with wa
ter, but always without success. When
the affected parts of the victim are
touched, fatty matter attaches itself to
the finger, still continuing to burn and
giving off a very disagreeable odor,
something similar to that which arises
from burning mixture of horn, hair
and wool.
During all this time thick black
smoke arises from the body and attaches
itself to the surface of all objects with
which it comes in contact, the "set-
things" from it being in the form of q
sweat, unctuous to the touch and of an
unbearable fetor. In the majority of
such cases combustion is only arrested
when the flesh has been reduced to
cracklings and the bone to powder.
Vincent, in his ''Curiosities Respecting
Man," says, Commonly the feet and
portion of the head are not burned but
usually when the combustion is finished
it is difficult to believe that the inciner-
ated mass is all that is left Of a human

While she was at school letters of a semi,

Not long after the little girl was taken
into the Price family she was kidnapped

made to secure possession Of the child by

until, as final resort, Mr.. Price took up

yeur was S13, 100000. There are thirteen

<,rs4gse SO far amounts to S13,000 OOO-as
zY1Igch as the entire decrease of last year.
THE digests show that there have been
