There is comfort in the knowl-
edge 30 often expressed that DIR.

pain in passing it, or bad effects fol.
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer.

essity of being compelled to get up

nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for

tressing cases. If you need medi-

Autocracy may do with some gov.

mitted in our great republic. Judge
Jackson, of the U. S. Court, has en-
joined the lately appointed Marshall
from appointing new Deputy Mar

judicially, but whatever his decision
may be,which we have to abide with,
we are of the opinion that it is all
far fetched nonsense, as every super

whom he knows, and in whom
he has confidence, otherwise he
should be held liable for lot OF Of

Prof. Clifford, ofthe Pioneer Press,
did not do anything for the Insane
Asylum at Weston, except to tear
up the floors and take off the roof.
Possibly it is necessary, and we
hope that in that as we'll as in other
institutions under the control OF the
state, broad and humane manage
ment will be the rule and not the
negligence and that prompt, pointed
investigation, without regard to per-
sons or parties may be had for these
poor people. Busting up, even at
the Asylum and the Penitentiary
will result with the keepers who draw
the salary being humane themselves
and not beastly and criminal.

ON THE MANNER OF AN INTRoDUC.
TIoN 1t is notifying to note how
many persons pay little or no heed
to what may be styled the etiquette
of introductions. To the lover of
good form there is something that
sets ones teeth on edge on hearing
an introduction SO worded that q
woman is presented to a man, OR an
elderly woman to young one. The
rules with regard to introduc:ions
are so simple and sensible that it
would seem that the wayfaring man
or woman, though a fool, could
scarcely err therein. A man is al
ways introduced to woman, and it
may be we'll in passing to add that
lady's permission should usually
be asked before such a presentation
is made. 1t is a simple matter to
say, miss Smith, may I present to
you Mr.. Jones ~ before uttering
formal, miss Smith. allow me to
introduce Mr.. Jones'" The man is,
of course, always brought to the
woman whom he is to meet; the
woman should never be led to the
man. These rules might seem super
fluous were it not that one so often
observes their infraction among PEG.
pie who should know better. At q
tea matron who years before had
arrived at the dignity of grand
mother was piloted by her hostess
to a young girl of twenty, and they
were made known to each other in
the well-meant words: "Mrs.
Knight, ] want to present you to
my dear little friend, Mable Day.
Mable, dear, this is Mrs. Knight, of
whom you have so often heard me
speak, If the ladies were amused
by the speech, they were so we'll
versed in that knowledge of good
form in which their hostess was
lacking that they showed no con-
seriousness of her error.-Harper's

:. MINERALS AHD METALS.
Statistics Show That the United States
Led the World in the Gold Output
D0rIno the Past Year

|. NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 1.-The En-
gineering and Mining Journal to- MORO W
will say: The production of minerals and
metals in the United States for the year
1896 is given at total value OF $653, 311 ,496
showing a decrease as compared with 1885
of S24, ,6S9, 266, or about 81 per cent. This
decrease was largely in values rather than
in quantities. In none of the chief arti-
cles was there any marked decrease, while
in several there were considerable in
ereases.
TIE total production of metals in the
year 1896 was valued at $242, 3l1 481, an in
crease OF 81, ,694, Ill over the previous year,
while the value OF non-metallIc substances
was $4lO, ,999, 987, decrease of S26, 1873, ,377
from 1895 a large part of this was due to
the lower value of coal, stone and few
other important substances, very little re-
sulting from the smaller quantities. The
increase in copper has been extraordinary,
the total gain amounting to $3.50, 15O
| pounds.
the. production of gold reached the
great total of $57, 900 900, a gain of $10,-
T 169, 80O This is an extraordinary ad-
vance, which far surpasses the gain; re-
ported from any other country in the
world, and puts he United States far in
/ the lead OF the producing countries. Our
| output in gold was no less. than 26 per
cent of the total reported for the entire
world.
The production of pig iron has been
! 8,76S. S69 long tons, the decrease from 1895
being only 677, 439 tons, or. about per
cent
The production of lead from domestic
ores amounted to 175, III short tons, show
ing an increase of 20, 863 tons over the pre-
|. ceding year. In addition to this there
! were $4,000 tons produced from imported
ores, or refined from imported bullion.
The output of quicksilver. was 33; 012
| TASKS, of 761a pounds each, showing a de-
crease of 800 TASKS from the previous wear.
The production continues 10 come wholly
| from the California mines. The produc-
tion of silver from domestic ores reached
total OF 45, AGA, 173 fine ounces, showing a
decrease OF 865,062 ounces. There were
|. produced or refined from foreign ores and
| bullion by our smelters and other works
no less than 10000, 600 fine ounces OF silver.
making the total quantity refined or put
| try IS, 465, 173 fine oupces.
The Total production of spelter, or CON-
mercial zinc, for 1896 amounted to 77,044
short tons, showing decrease of 4774 tons
from that of 1895.
The output of bituminous coal was AL
770,O99 ions, showing a gain of 4,371, 752
tons. On the other hand, there was a de-
crease of 6, 1872, 057 short tons in the anthra-
cite production. The total coal produc-
tion was therefore 1893, .027 short tons,
and the total decrease, as compared with
1895, was 2. 410, 305 tons.

KALAMAZOO. Mich, Jan. 1. : Rev.

During the rendition of a musical pro-

Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All
Souls Church OF Chicago, appeared on
the platform. Miss Bartlett and DR..
Crane, in accordance with ceremony
which they had arranged, then married
themselves and Rev. Mr. Jones pro-

been a minister here for eight years, and
through her efforts the Peoples church
was built. DR.. Crane is a native OF Adrian,
a graduate of the Michigan University
and practicing physician.
