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 filling 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 f3O,0OO,00O. 81 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
says that S15, 1000 people died in the
United States in 1889 This would bring
the value of the gold in each dead ner-
sons teeth to an average of about 653t
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.

A BEAUTIFUL AND COSTLY GIFT.
Christian Women in China Present the
Empress a 5000 Bible.

Christian Women in China Present the
Empress a $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 of China, at the recent celebration
OF her slxtieth birthday, of a costly copy
OF the New Testament from 10000 Chris
tan women in the Flowery Kingdom.
The book was put to press in April last
at the Presbyterian Mission press, in
Shanghai, and the agents of the two
BlDle societies were requested to super
intend the work and read the proofs.
The book was finished and delivered to
the committee on October 20. 1t is royal
quarto size, 10x13x2 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
China. The printing alone cost over S275.
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 gold
plate, on which is the inscription, Classic
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 a plush
covered box, and this in a 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 message of peace
from her Christian subjects. The casket,
which is 15Ax1211ax411a inches, contains
ten and one-half pounds of silver, and the
covers of the book four and one-half
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-Li-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
its appearance in the imperial household
aroused much interest and curiosity
among the members of the royal family.

Coon Hunting in New York.

Hunters of coons in eastern Wayne
county, n. Y, are on their mettle John
Pritchard of Butler is said to hold the
belt, having caught an even dozen in less
than a week, but Roman Henderson
says the numbers don't count-its the
way you catch 'em Recently Roman
and his brother Leroy were telling a huge
old beech Vim the swamp east of their
house on the South Butler road, when
they discovered snugly ensconced in the
hollow within a whole family of large fat
coons. Roman kept them penned in
while Leroy ran after q grain sack.
While he was gone the biggest coon of
the lot, the father, doubtless, followed
by a strapping son, made a break and got
away, but when the bag came they had
no difficulty in driving the mother and
three remaining children int its recesses.
Then the Hendersons set out after the
two that got away, finally tracking them
to another hollow tree. They plugged up
the hole as well as they could, and as it
was already dark, resolved to defer the
telling and capture till morning. During
the night, however, the coons dug out
only to be shot before noon by Harvey
Van Week. who saw them going hand in
hand across his potato patch. The four
in captivity are doing nicely, the young
ones especially, being already so tame
that they can be handled with perfect

MAKING DARK OAK.
An Ammonia Treatment Which Gives it
the Desired Color.

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
that is to be rendered of a dark color in
a tight room into which no light pene-
trates. For the treatment of small pieces
a large box whose joints are closed with
strips of paper glued to the places whence
the vapor might escape, suffices for the
purpose, while, for larger pieces a her
metically closed room is essential. Into
the box or room are put several fiat yes
sells containing liquid ammonia, they
being placed upon the floor SO that the
yapor may fill the space and give the
tanning of the oak very dark brown
color, which will not be altered if lit
tie of the wood be removed from the sur
face The liquid is not allowed to touch
the wood, and the depth and richness of
the color will depend upon the quality
of the ammonia that is employed and the
length of time of the exposure to its

AN OLD TRADITION.
Tracing the Paternity of the Legend of the
tFlying Duchman."

Tracing the Paternity of the Legend of the
'Flying Duchman."
There are many versions of the ia
nous legend of the Flying Dutchman.
Quite recently an American gentleman
set himself the task of endeavoring to
discover the paternity of the tradition,
and who the Hollander was that brought
upon himself and his companions such
a miserable doom by his act of profanity.
The result of his Investigations would
be extremely interesting, but it does not
appear that he has yet given them to the
world. Perhaps the story has nowhere
been better told than by Capt. Marryat
in the novel which he founded upon it.
Cornelius Vanderdecken, a sea cap
tain of Amsterdam, coming home from
Batavia, is much troubled by head winds
when off the Cape of Good Hope. Day
after day he goes on struggling against
the battling weather without gaining a
foot of ground. The sailors grow weary
the skipper impatient Still the bleak
sou-wester continues to blow the old
galliot steadily back. For nine dreary
weeks this goes on; then a terrible fit
of passion seiZes Vanderdecken. He
sinks down on his knees, raising his
clenched fists to the heavens, curses the
Deity for opposing him, swearing that
he will weather the cape in spite of the
Divine will, though he should go on
beating about until the Day of Judg-
ment
AS a punishment for this terrible i'm
piety he is doomed to go on sailing in
the stormy seas east of Agulhas until
the last trumpet shall sound. forever
struggling against head winds in a
vain effort to double the South African
cape. Such, in brief, is the legend of
the Flying Dutchman, as it has been ac-
cepted by English-speaking sailors for
many generations past.-Chambers' Jour

The officers of u Neptune line steamer
at Baltimore tell of a queer experience
in a gale on November %. They Say
that at 8 O'Clock in the morning gale
was blowing northwest accompanied by
snow and rain, thunder and lightning.
At that hour loud report was heard
in the air and an immense ball of fire
appeared overhead. Suddenly two explo-
sions, louder than the first, were heard.
After the first of these explosions the
ball became a mass of forked streamers
of light. At the second, scintillating
particles spread over the ship aloft and
shot in all directions. Large Jumps of
fire fell on the deck Several Of the
men ran to pick them up, but it is said
they seemed to disappear and left the
men astounded
