Gold and Silver Hoards tn India.

Between 1853 and looy, ,o yc'iis, or less than half one lifetime. india has absorbed Gil7,O0O,000 in gold and G227.UOO,O00 in silver, or E3ii.O00,OO0 in all. What has become of the silver we do not exactly know, though II is certain that great proportion of il is hoardcd as fixed and visible wealth, but about the destination of the gold there is no doubt whatever. The peopir have got the whole of it in their own hands, for it is moi in circulation, and are us- ing it either in ornaments kept. be 1t observed, to pawn in extremity. or us hoarded treasures in coin, such as lies under almost every peasants floor in the Punjaub and eastern Bengal. India is treasure house of gold, yet q man may live 5O years m the British prov inccs and never see an ounce The whole of this wealth, says Lord Roberts. with perfect justice, and especially the gold which represents obviously and necessarily part of the profit on the foreign trade. is due to security, and security is due to the presence of that army Of S0.000 white men. which is so often represented as burden on the Indian peasant.-London Tid-Bits.

NO JOY IN LEADVIllE.
Life There Has Grown Too TAmo to Inter-
 est the Ntsitor.

There used to be a deal more variety and life in Leadville than there is now. In it's early days every phase of human nature was represented here, and if there was any wickedness common to any other section of the globe of which this camp mad no specimen some pub lic-spirited bad man would import a supply. It was lively mining camp in all that the term implies. and never hid the light of its wickedness under a bushel. Nothing wus hidden. neither the saloons nor the gambling houses nor the worst places. The mar who wanted to be bad need seek but lightly for an opportunity. As for the diver tisement Of an impromptu duel to the death, that was so easily obtained as to quickly lose it's charm. Everybody car ried ''gun," and, soon or late, every body used it with fellow-being for target.
 Now this is largely changed. Lead vile Is not yet prominent way station on the route to the better land. but IS ns peaceful as the average town of it's size in or out of the mining rrgion. Men here are too busy to attend to the affairs of their neighbors; there does rot seem to be an undue amotnt of drinking, and business goes on about as it does elsewhere. State street is still here, and those who knew it in other days may be interested in know ing that it's sanitary condition from moral standpoint is still bad and need ing Immigration and disinfection. An energetic and general conhaSration along that thoroughfare would result in puriiication of the moral and phys ical atmosphere. Still, l contend that Leadyille is no worse than many other towns, and by comparison with some of them. and especially with it's former self, is n bright and shining light set upon hill.-Louisville Courier-J our nal.

A DINNERS SEASONING.

The common black pepper berry grows on a climbing vine which attains a length of from 12 to 20 feet.
 The cardamon seeds of commerce come from India, Java, Ceylon and many tropical islands of the east.
 Cinnamon is raised extensively not only in Ceylon. but in many parts of India, in Siam, Java and Sumatra.
 In India and many eastern countries, down to the present century, tribute was frequently paid in pepper.
 A nutmeg tree of the largest size will produce no more than five pounds of nutmegs and one to two pounds of mace at n crop.
 Caraway seeds are used in flavoring confectionery, and as a flavor for liq- uors, bread, cakes and other articles of food.
 There were imported into this coun- try in the year 1894 s2,252.553 worth of spices, all of which were consumed in our food.
