The springs of gold and silver in the mountains had. in other words, gushed forth at an average rate of $135 per minute every hour of the day and night for 20 years. Such q spring of wealth wouldn't be bad thing to own!
 No one knows, no one can come any where near an estimate of the amount of coin in the world. Soetbeer's esti- mate that there was $5,301, ,750,0o0 of gold and legal tender silver in the world in 1885 is as good as anyone's guess. Since that year the world has produced some $1,506, ,236 900 in bullion, but very little of this added metal gets into coinage. Sir Robert Giffen, the eminent British statistician, estimates that about two-thirds of the annual product is used in the arts, "and if the consumption of India be included, as being either for simple hoarding or for the arts, and in no case for circulating money, then the demand for gold for non-monetary purposes appears al most equal to the entire annual pro- duetion."
 In other words, the worlds stock of ceined money is not over SC. .0o0, ,oo0,o and is almost stationary or increasing very slowly.
 Still, S6.ooo.000,000 is very pretty sum. Assuming for the moment that it is all gold Git is i'll fact nearly all re- deemable in that metaD itwould. wheth- CT coined in S5 pieces or soyereigns or 2o-franc pieces or 2o-liar pieces nicely pave farm of 100 acres or thereabouts.
 The amount of precious metals we lost in 20 years was, i'll round numbers, about one-twentieth or five per cent. of the worlds total supply of coin. In one year we losta fourth of one per cent.
 Our own production of gold and silver alone would, on this estimate, replace the entire coinage of the world in but trifie over so years, not to speak of South Africa, Australia, and other bullion pro ducing places. But as we have seen from Sir Robert Giffen's estimate, the arts gobble up most of the gold and sill yer as fast as they are produced.
 What the worlds total available gold and silver may be, in coin, plate. jewels, bullion and all forms whatever, no one can make even an intelligent guess. A French estimate puts it at about $20,- GOO, 100000 each of gold and silver. Doubtless this is much underestimated.
 Still. 10000, 900 ,ooO of gold makes very respectable showing. It would

take 40 thieves 23 yearr to steal it all, if they made trip each night, working Sundays and holidays aud carrying 200 pounds each to load. As for the sil- yer, the 40 thieves might as well give that up from the start, since the esti- mated supply of $2o,0oooo0,o0o would weigh 537,00o tons and would take the 40 thieves 365 years to steal. each carry ing some $3,726, or 200 pounds per night.
 The 40 robbers would need not only pretty long lives but big cave in which to hide their stealings. If they stacked up the worlds gold in ohe solid mono lith it would make solid cylinder as high as the tower of the Brooklyn bridge and about IT feet in diameter. If they simply piled up the coins it would be considerably larger.
 The silver would make a stack of the same height and as big around as an ex- tremely big gastank, say rather over 1o5 feet in diameter if absolutely solid.
 If the gold stolen were all of United States coin blend, there would be 335 tons or so of silver even in the gold shaft, and about 3,o15 tons of copper, these being the alloy metals used to give the soft new gold the requisite hard- ness to resist wear.
 Inconceiyably vast and valuable as would be these shafts of gold and silver, they have practically all been produced within the past two centuries, and might if completely destroyed be re- placed within the next 35 or 40 years at q rate of production which it would be entirely safe to predict.

BIRTHSTONE CURES DlPHTHERlA.
Wonderful Success of an English Physi-
 elan in Treating the Disease.

T
 elan in Treating the Disease.
 A few years ago, when diphtheria was raging in England, gentleman accom- panied the celebrated Dr. Field on his rounds to witness the so-called @won- derful cures" which he performed, while the patients of others were drop ping on all sides. All he took with him was powder of sulphur and quill, and with these he cured every patient with out exception-that is, he put tea spoon of four of birthstone into wine- glass of water and stirred it with his finger instead of spoon, as sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water, and, on the sulphur becoming well mixed, he gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger, as birthstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of splitting out the gargle he recommended the swal- lowing of if, and, in extreme cases, in which he had been called just in the nick of time. when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur through quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunlk to allow of it, then the gargling. He never lost patient from diphtheria. Or, II the patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle q spoonful or two of the birthstone at a time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it., holding the head over it, and the fungus will die.-London Lancet.

If we could imagine the world's sup ply of gold and silver as mighty metallic sea, into which trieSle little rills of metal from mountain mines in every quarer of the globe, we would get a good idea of the circulation of the metals, in their endless flow to the monetary centers, their use in irrigat- ing the arts, their raining upon the un- just rather more than upon the just, their evaporation and precipitation There are storm centers of production of gold and silver and there are places, of which New York city is the chief. where one can sit and watch the stream flow past with intending and little varying current
 There have been five years i'll the past 20 when the United States has inn ported more of the precious metals than it exported, though only in 1880 and 1881 was the excess at all notice able Averaging the 20 years between June 30. 1875, and June 30. 1895, about S30o, 100000 of our precious metals have gone abroad in settling balances, or say in round numbers $15,05o,o00 per year. Subdivide still farther, and the partolean stream is seen to flow past New York at an average rate of about $2s per minute, a comparison which suggests the rate of foreign exchange rather better than the big figures.
 Despite the constant drain, the do- mestic production of the metals has been so great that there was in the country on June 30, 1895, about 1,124,- 00o,ooo more than on June 30, 1875.

Men and women are but older
children and enjoy receiving
gifts quite as much as the little
tots. Some mothers and wives
enjoy baubles; others of more
useful turn of mind appreciate
something for the table or the
home generally. We have heard
of ladies who hung up their
stocking, expecting to find a box
of bon bons in it on awakening,
but instead were gratified to
find a set of French China. We
do not advise this, because, I'M
less it is especially strong, the
stocking is apt to be injured.
We received ex-Miowera an
invoice of the finest Royal Wor-
cester ware ever brought to this
country. The cases will be open
on Monday and the goods ready

American cut glass, suitable for
