Dead Paupers Made Useful.

Nothing is useless nowadays-not
even defunct pauper. Hood'S plain
tive vail
Rattle his bones over the stones,
He's only pauper whom nobody owns
is now out of date. The guardians
know better than to act SO recklessly,
for often the party concerned is the
possessor of set OF artificial teeth
which contains good deal of gold
last relic OF more prosperous times
and in the interest of the rate-payers
the precious metal must be secured
and turned into pounds sterling. Of
ten, too, they are the owners Of rings
or tiny trinkets, not pawnable, but
still containing as much auriferous
value as not few modern gold shines.
These have to be collected and also
converted into cash by means of the
melting-pot. In the Holborn Union
the melting process takes placs once a
year, and has just been accomplished
for the present season. The jewelry
dealt with is what is found on paupers
who die friendless and unclaimed in
its various establishments.
This week rings, chains, brooches
and trinkets have been melted down,
and produced bar Of god, estimated
at eleven carats, and worth about G40.
A good portion of it was from the
plates of artificial teeth. Mr.. Walton
said that on one set of artificial teeth
there was at least Ct worth of gold.
The proceeds are paid into the COM
mon exchequer Of the union. Lon

THE CLOSING CENTURY.

As one who, reused from sleep, hears far
away
The closing strokes of somo cathedral bell
Tolling the hour, strives all in vain to tell
If denser grows thenight, or pales the day
So we reused to life's brief existence, say
eve on whose waking falls centurys
knelD.
Is this the deepening dusk Of years, the fell
And solemn midnight, or the morning gray?
We stir, then sleep again--a little 81 eep
(Howbeit undisturbed by another's ringD
For though, measured with time, century
Is but vanished hour tolled on the deep,
Yet what is time itself? IT'S but swing
ofthe vast pendulum of eternity.

An undue Importance is given to the
bullet-proof armor lately brought out
by Dove and others, the New York
Recorder thinks. It is intended to
protect the vital parts only, and the
head, arms and legs are exposed. In
a conflict the ratio of wounded to dead
combatants is very large, and a
wounded man is as harmless as a dead
one for offensive purposes. Probably
a body of men so equipped would pos
sess a stronger element of courage,
and therefore add to its efficiency ;
but this added daring would only serve
to bring the combatants closer to-
gether, and thereby largely increase
the number of wounded. Would not
protected army lose, in the greater
number of wounded what it presuma-
bly, would gain in courage?

4 Remarkable TimenIece.

Japan possesses q remarkable time
piece which is described as follows:
1t is contained in frame three feet
wide and five feet long, representing
MONDAY landscape of great beauty.
In the foreground, plum and cherry
trees and rich plants appear in full
bloom; in the rear is seen q hill,
gradual in ascent, from which appar-
emily flows cascade, admirably imi-
tated in crystal. From this point a
threadlike stream meanders, encirc-
ling rocks and islands in its windings,
and finally losing itself in far.ofi
stretch of woodland. In miniature
sky golden sun turns ona silver wire,
striking the hours on silver gongs as
it passes. Each hour is marked on the
frame by creeping tortoise, which
serves the place of hand. A bird of
exquisite plumage MARBLES at the close
of each hour, and. as the song ceases,
a mouse sallies forth from O nelghbor-
ing grotto, and scampering over the
hill to the garden is soon lost to view.

The Contemporary Review says:
Englishmen are the mich COWS of the
world. They are the great lenders
from whom all other nations barrow.
For generations they have been rich
and saving, until at last their annual
accommodations have become greater
than the annual openings for legiti-
mate investment. So severe has the
pressure become that latterly the
money lender has been forcing his
money into every kind of undertaking,
in all parts of the world, creating, by
his own eagerness to lend, the CORE
spending desire to borrow. 1t is the
weight of uninvested money which
stimulates borrowing, not the cupidity
of the impecunious. Borrowing has
not produced lending, but lending bor-
rowing. Interest has continued to fall
because there are more lenders than
borrowers. If Englishmen think, then,
that any communities have dipped too
deep into the English purse, they can
easily apply the corrective by little
self-control. They should abstain from
further lending. This may seem a
heroic remedy, but it is the only
remedy.

A steel rail costs twice as much as
an iron one, muses. the New York Re-
corder, but the universal use of the
former means millions to tho farmers
of the West. 1t has enabled railroads
to use larger and heavier cars, and the
results are cheaper freights and

Very significant, indeed, according
to the Baltimore Sun, are the figures
from the Bureau of Statistics showing
the export from the United States in
the eleven months ended May 81, 1894.
The total was 1884, 100000, against
1872, 100000 in the like period of
the preceding year, an increase OF
$50, 100000. But more than half of
this increase was in exports from the
South, showing the decided revival of
business activity in that section. The
exports from Southern ports aggre-
gated 1886, 700, 900, or 1927, 900, 600
more than in eleven months of the
year ended May 81, 1898. Baltimore's
exports aggregated $73, 1868, 900; those
Of Charleston, $13,O2S, 1870; Calves
