Where the Gold Goes.

A Frenchman who last year visited the
United States devoted some of his time
to an unusual line of observation and
calculation. Writing to lie Temps he
says that what struck him particularly
in this country was the American habit
Of filing the teeth with gold. He con
suited statisticians, he says, and by
figuring on information given by them
has discovered that the gold annually
pounded in cavities in the teeth of Ameri-
cans amounts to the value of 100000.
All of this metal, he says, is buried with
the Yankees when they die, and he figures
that at the end of three centuries the
cemeteries of America will contain gold
to the value of f30.0OO,OOO. Il am
afraid the writer goes on to say, that
this will prove too tempting to the prac--
teal mind of the future American, and
we shall see the day when companies
will be organized to mine the cemeteries
and recover 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
person. He has evidently been consult
ing the record of vital statistics, for he
saws that $4,000 people died in the
United States in 1880 This would bring
the value of the gold in each dead per-
sons teeth to an average of about 65a
cents. and he thinks that in we'll crowded
cemeteries the mining of this gold could
be carried on profitably, despite the small
average value. President Cleveland
should give this matter his attention.
Possibly therein lies the secret of the
treasury's steady loss of gold.

An Ammonia Treatment Which Gives it
the Desired Color.
It is stated in the Moniteur industrial
that the dark oak employed in decorative
woodwork is prepared by submitting the
wood for a certain length of time to the
action of ammoniacal vapors, the latter
rapidly imparting the dark tint which is
in so much request. The operation con-
sists simply in arranging the material

tight room into which no light pene-

A BEAUTIFUL AND COSTLY GIFT
Christian Women in China Present the
Empress $1,000 Bible

Christian Women in China Present the
Empress $1,000 Bible
AN account has just been received by
the officers of the American Bible society
OF the presentation to the Dowager En-
press or China, at the recent celebration
of her sixtieth birthday. of a costly COW
OF the New Testament from 10000 Chris
J Ian women in the Flowery Kingdom.
Inc book was put to press in April last
q the Presbyterian Mission press, in
Saanghai, and the agents Of the two
Blble societies were requested to super
intend the work and read the proofs.
Ihe book was finished and delivered to
the committee on October 70. It is roval
quarto size, 1Ox13x2 inches, is printed on
the finest paper procurable, and in large
type, The border around each page is in
gold: 1t is beyond question the finest
work ever turned out by any press in
Emma. The printing alone cost over 500.
The book is elegantly bound in solid sill
yer boards made in Canton. The orna-
mentation is birds and bamboo in relief,
and the workmanship is exquisite The
name of the book, complete New Tes-
lament" is in large characters of solid
gold. On the center of the cover is a gold
plate, on which is the inscription, classic
of Salvation for the World The back
is old gold plush. The book was inclosed
IN a solid silver casket similar in design
to the covers of the book. and lined with
plush. The casket rested in plush
covered box, and this in teakwood case.
The Chinese say that the bamboo is an
emblem of peace, the birds are messen-
gers; the design therefore, conveys to the
Dowager Empress a message of peace
from her Christian subjects. The casket
which is 1514x12112x4113 inches, contains
ten and one-half pounds of silver, and the
covers of the book four and one-halt
pounds. The entire cost of the book and
the casket was not much under $1,000.
The presentation was made by the min
listers of the Tsung-L Yamen, through
Mr.. O'Conor, the British minister, and
Col. Charles DENLY, minister for the
United States.
Accompanying the gift was an address
to the Dowager Empress.
The gift was graciously received, and
it's appearance in the imperial household
