and confiscate the whole of it. So they
buy gold bars and secrete them. Con-
seqnently, gold always commands
considerable premium at Picking.
Meanwhile, thanks to newly discov-
cred fields and improved methods of
mining, the gold production of the
world is steadily growing, and will pro-
excessively increase for some years to
come. The yield for 1895 has been she
greatest in history, probably exceeding
$2o0,000,0O0. The United States alone
produced about $50, O0O,O0C of this total,
an increase of s11 100000 over 1894
1t is estimated that the worlds an
nual consumption of gold in the arts.
chiefly in the manufacture of jewe!.'y, is
somewhere between $50,O0O,OO0 and
S6O,O0O,G0O. Probably ABOUT 81, SOC, 900
worth of gold coin of the United States
is melted yearly for such employment.
This government makes the gold bars
of five ounces and upward for the use
OF jewelers. and other manufacturers.
Similar bars are turned out by private
refneries. OF such bars $4,000 900
woth are bought and used in this coun-
try every twelvemOnth.
The largest amount of gold is held by
the pope at Rome. 1t is in coin and or
naments. He is said to have more than
Russia, France, India and America
combined
A French authority has figured that
at the end OF three centuries from now
the cemeteries of the United States will
contain gold to the value of $3.50, 900 900,

ers the flow of the worlds commerce
and is an injury to the latter. 1t would
be an immense benefit to all mankind
If the stores of the yellow metal now
held by individuals in India could be
made available for general Use. Ever
since the dawn of history that country
has been gathering gold and hiding it
away. Pliny, who died in 70 A. d..
complained that India drew from the
great Roman empire not less than
S2.700.000 in gold and silver yearly.
Frenchman named Bernier in 1899.
writing report to his government
from Delhi, said that the gold and sill
yer of the world, after circulating for
some time, finally flow to India, as into
ar abyss from which there is no re-
turn" 1t was estimated by DR.. Scot
beer that during the half century pre-
vious to 1885 India boarded 81 500, 000,-
900 of silver and gold-nearly one-third
Of the total amount of coinage in cir
cuiation in the world.
Treasures Of almost incalculable
value are possessed by many Indian
princes. Recently the Maharajah of
Burdwan died, and the stock of gold
and silver left by him was so large that
no member of the family could make an
accurate estimate of it. A report made
to the British government by a secret
agent stated that on the estate of the
defunct potentate were number of
treasure houses. one Of them containing
three rooms. The largest of these three
rooms was forty-eight feet long and was
filled with ornaments of gold and silver,
plates and cups. washing bowls. jugs,
etc--all of precious metals. The other
two rooms were full of bags and boxes
fUf gold mohurs and silver rupees. The
doors of this and other treasure houses
had been bricked up for nobody knows
how long. According to custom of
the Burdwan Raj family, all these valu-
ables were in the custody of the Ma
harajah's wife. the vaults being at
tached to her apartments, but none of
them was allowed to be opened save in
the presence of the master. One vault

GIRLS VALUE PURITY IN MEN
Those Who Wed Men of the World
Always Repent of 1t.

A young man writes to Edward w
Box, inquiring why so many young
girls seem to prefer the company of
young fellows of slightly plotted char
acter-men who have seen the world
and in many cases marry them, in the
face OF the fact that their past lives are
known to them. In the Ladies' Home
Journal, Mr. Box, it's editor, makes this
reply:
Girls, that is, the right kind of girls,
do not prefer the company OF young
men of this sort. Doubtless you have
come across instances where this rule
has been otherwise; so have |. But it il
all in the seeming, not in the reality.
Depend upon one thing-girls have as
high an estimate of purity in man as
men have of purity III woman. There
are, of course, cases to the contrary,
but these are few. Where girls marry
men who are known to have led what il
called a worldly life it is more gen.
orally due to a misunderstanding of
facts, or to ignorance, than people i'm.

This sometimes pleases her vanity and

very high cost. There is another tyne

Cheyenne Tribune: One hundred
and six precincts out of 297 in the state,
being more than one-half the entire
vote CT the state, gave Mckinley 6,147.
and Bryan 6,052; Mckinley's plurality
50. In 1892 the same precincts gave
935 republican plurality making a loss
of $40.
The precincts no: heard from include
the entire counties OF johnson and Biz

have, as was expected. given heavy
plurali,ies for Mckinley. without eX-

successful in Massachusetts, beyond
what was claimed for it by the most
enthusiastic prophet OF republican sue
cess. New York and Pennsylvania viei
with each other for the largest plural
ity and the figures at hand do not indi,
cate which one of them has surpassed
the other. Eeach state has given ths
republican candidate a plurality of be-
