The Production OF Gold.

The average yearly production Of
gold during the ten years 1S3l-1S40
was only 2O.2S0 Kilograms, Or 652,291
fine ounces; during the ten years 1S41-
1850 1t rose to an annual average Of
4,759 Kilograms, or 1,760,502 ounces.
This was just prior, Ii will be noticed,
to the beginning of the third period
into which | have divided the history
Of the production Of gold Now mark
the increase! During the five years
1S51-1SJ5, In consequence Of the rich
harvest from the recently discovered
mines Of California and Australia, the
average annual production of gold sud
denly leaped TO 199,3SS Kilograms, or
6.410.324 ounces, and in 1S56-1S60 to
the highest figure that had eve been
reached up to that time, and which
has never been exceeded since, except
in 1892, 1893 and 1S94-namely: TO 201,-
750 Kilograms, or 6.4S46,262 ounces;
that is, in between twenty and twenty
five years the annual average Of the
production Of gold Increased nearly
tenfold! Even the production of silver
during the last quarter of a century
has not increased ut that rate--1,000
per cent!-North American Review.

BAD FOR BUCHANAN.
Victfmized by Green Goods Men ana
MAY Loose His Rich Finance.

Chicago. March 81. ). Buchanan,
master mechanic Of the shops of the
Iron Mountain railroad at Two Rivers.
Mimi, has just concluded an interest
ing experience with green goods men
in which he lost $500, and is likely, he
says. to lose n lady and a job. Bu-
chanan reached Chicago last Tuesday
and registered at the Russell hotel as
Nate Symons. Two Rivers, Mimi.
Later he met three men and after the
customary carriage ride, the party sep
arated, buchanan being out $500, and
finding the usual bundle of newspapers
In the place of th@ $1,000 worth of
green goods he had purchased. After
a few days OF amateur detective work
he told the police his story. He IS
the promised husband, he says, OF
Mrs. Kate Synons, a Two Rivers
widow worth $50 900. Mrs. Symons,
according to his story, had received n
green goods circular, and after due
consideration. commissioned him to
conduct a deal by which he was to re-
ceive $1,000 for $500 OF the genuine.
She furnished the money and Blu
chanan was to do the rest. Now that
he is compelled to return TO her with
ont either the $1,000 or the $500 he
fears that she will decide on another
husband. and his feelings are further
narrowed by the possibilities of the
publication Of his troubles resulting In
the loss of his position. The green
goods men are still mt large.

UucIeaned Filter.

A correspondent OF Iuldon Invention
writes, with reference to the relative
efficiency Of water filters In the proven
ton of infective disease, which mnss
certainly alarm those who rely on
filters for the purity OF their drinking
water: Some time ago l came across
n OF the charcoal type which had
been accidentally broken, and after
splitting the block in half IL was found
to contain In the center, at the mouth
OF the passage to the reservoir, a great
number of living bodies, somewhat Of
the shape OF tadpoles and visible to
the naked erc. Surely this must show
that these filters not only do not ar
rest the germs, but, what il worse,
they sometimes offer In themselves q
place where these germs can multiply
to any extent"

The firemen succeeded in extinguish-

OLD DANCES TO BE REVIVED.
The Gavotte Quadrille Is n Favorite
in London.

HI HuU
Lovers Of really artistic dancing will
be interested to hear, upon the author
fty Of so eminent a London professor
as Nine. D'Alise, that an early revival
Of the older and more stately steps
and figures may be looked for. The
fashionable dance in court and aristo-
cratic circles will be the gavotte qua
drille, which has had immense favor
In Berlin ever since 1t wS danced be-
fore the emperor. 1t is a figure Of
eight, and similar to the quadrllle,
except that il begins and ends with
the couples facing the audience. 1t Is
reported to be an extremely graceful
dance so long as the dancers keep to
the little sliding steps that are appro-
pirate to 1t.
The square dances are coming In
again and strenuous efforts are to be
made to curtail the Waiting and galop-
ing which have OF late years entirely
ruined the effect of these dances, for
which special movements and steps
were originally intended. 1t will be
good news to many persons to learn
that skirt-dancing as a drawing room
! entertainment for ladies is declining
in favor, owing very largely to the
dislike that the best dancing masters
and mistresses have to teaching 1t TO
ladies who do not intend to ad6rn the
theater and music hall. Asked as to
the present condition of the dancing
art, Nine. D'Alise declares its reSen-
GRAFTON Is mainly due to men, who will
not learn to dance, and who are only
willing to walk through dances with
as little effort as possible.

Much Gold In American Teeth.


A Frenchman who has been travel
ing in this country says In lie Temps
that what struck him most In the
United States was the American habit
Of filling the teeth with gold. About
100000 worth of. gold is thus used
every year, he says, all Of which, OF
course, Is buried. So he figures that
at the end Of three centuries the ceme-
teries Of America will contain gold to
the value of $15),0o0,O DOC. II am
afraid" he adds, that this will prove
too tempting to the practical mind OF
the future American and we shall see
the day when companies will be or
ganized to mine the cemeteries and re-
cover the gold secreted In the jaws Of
dead ancestors" The writer then goes
on and figures on the average amount
Of gold In the teeth OF each dead per.
son He has evidently been consult
ing the record OF vital statistics, for
he says that $4,000 people died In
the United States in 1889. This would
bring the value Of the gold In each
dead persons teeth to an average OF
about 65& cents and he thinks that In
well crowded cemeteries the mining Of
this gold could be carried on profit
ably despite the small average value.
