Minnesota Second.
John Berkenbine, the iron expert OF
Philadelphia, has prepared for the de-
partment Of mineral resources of the
United States geological survey an ex-
haustive report of the iron ore resources
of the world in which the production OF
iron ore in 1898 is estimated at about
SO, 500, 900 tons.
The portion Of this report relating to
the United States shows that the total
production of iron ore in this country
in 1894 was 11,s79,679 tons of 2,240
pounds as compared with 11.5s7627
tons in 1885,
in 1894, ranging in amount from Alb,
O63 tons, in Michigan, to 1915 tons from
Maryland. Most of the increase voted
was in the Lake Superior region, Min
nesota showing the greatest increase,
1,499, 297 tons in 1898 to 2,96S, 463 tons in
1894, ranking second among the iron
producing states, while in 1898 she was
third. @ .a .ats

Increasing.
The monthly report of the state
board of corrections and charities Is
sued gives the following information:
The number of inmates of the state
institutions has increased AT since
April 80, 1894, which is exactly the
same as the increase shown year ago,
making total increase of 904 for the
two years. There were present in the
state institutions 5,0l3 inmates on April
80, 1895. There has been an increase
during the past year in the population
of every state institution except the
state prison and the state reforma tory,
which show decrease of nine prison
ers, but this decrease is owing to the
discharge of United States prisoners
from other states. The prisoners be-
longing to Minnesota numbered Sal on
April 80, 1894, and $50 on April 50, 1895,
an increase of 2.s per cent.

A JAPANESE ROMANCE.
An Interesting Story OF Count Ito, Told

An Interesting Story of Count Ito, Told
by Sir Edwin Arnold.
OF Count Ito, the distinguished Jap
anese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold
gives us this interesting incident: 81
sat at table with the ex-premier and
his wife and children. The countess,
quiet, gentle, motherly, and wearing
spectacles, carving the tai and the
kamo with such matronly serenity
had yet history of romance and de-
votion which could make the widest
fctionist's fortune. Long ago, in those
dark and bloody days, when the minis
ter was her lover and fugitive from
his enemies, there came time when
they had tracked him to her house,
and had chosen band of Soshis to as
sassinate him. The noise of their clogs
and the rafting of their scabbards
were heard, and the count, trapped
like stag in his mountain pleasance,
drew his Bizen blade and prepared to
die, as japanese lord should, amid a
circle of dead foes. But while he MUIR
INJURED 'Sagonare! and .kuitted his
fingers around the sharkskin hilt of his
sword, that brave lady, whose guest I
was whispered: DO not die; there is
hope still, upon which she removed the
hibachi, or fire box, over which they
were sitting, and, lifting up the mat
ting and planks beneath, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor OF
all japanese homes. The murderers
broke into the room, ferocious band,
just as the fire box had been replaced
and the coun tess had assumed posi-
ton of nonchalance. They demanded
their victim, and when she protested
against their intrusion and babe them
search if they wanted Ito, the wretches
dragged her around the apartment by
her long, beautiful black hair-now
touched with silver-and grievously
maltreated her, but could not shake.
her resolute fidelity. Thanks to this,
Count Ito, the hero of many another
strange adventure, escaped from the
chief peril of his career, and has lived
to give his country new constitution
and to be one Of the foremost and best
respe cted statesmen of modern Japan"

An excellent lesson for persons in

was persuaded one day to join a party
Of ladies, many of whom were persons
who might be termed 'blue-stockings. !"
Among this formidable assembly were
Mrs. Montague, Mrs. Carter and Miss
Hannah More.
The object of this learned company
was to extract from Mrs. Siddons the
secret Of her wonderful acting, and
Mrs. Montague was deputed to be
spolxeswoman on this occasion.

"What wouldst thou have me do,

The question was asked somewhat
abruptly as she rose from the bench on
which she had thrown herself. She
had fine sensibility, and was stung
by the heartlessness of Manniko's sug-
gestion that she could so easily efface
the memory of her own true-love. AS
abe stood there with hef head tossed
back, she looked q little queen I,
Manniko bent 'forwardEhis fat face
SINNER than eyer, .his eyes glinting
with more thar. usual devilishness and
whispered rather than spoke aloud:
Marry Kaki."
No sooner were these words uttered
than it seemed to Zeelah that a light
straight from heaven revealed to her
the true situation. She knew that
Manniko was well acquainted with
everything concerning her, as indeed
he was concerning every man, woman
and child in Accra. From the time
that she had been left an orphan and
had been adopted by the widow Takki,
an eccentric but philanthropic old lady,
he had kept q watchful eye upon her,
and had taken good care not to allow
her to stray from his fetch fold. She
felt that he had evinced considerable
interest in the legacy left to her by
old Bombolo, the stevedore, which con-
sisted Of valuable pair Of elephants
tusks and half-a-dozen sheep. (Old
Bombolo had died just before she was
sent to the hills.) It also required to
her how people said that Kaki was the
son OF Manniko. The thoughts OF
these things rushed into Zeelah's mind.
