Product of the United States Amounts to
Over 951, OOO, 900.
WASHINGTON, Jan. .5.-The gold pro-
duction of the United States for the
year 1896, according to the official fig
ures announced by the director Of the
mint, was SOL, 500, 900, an increase of
"a, 800, 900 over 1895. The estimate made
by the mint officials AAnd others en-
ployed to collect the statistics give the
production as 1854, 119, 900, but Director
Preston thinks that when final reports
are received from private refneries and
smelters the total product will fall
short of these figures and rest at ap.
proximately $5l, 50O,OOO.
The total silver product, he states,
was 81, 535 800 fine ounces, a net de-
crease from the product of 1895 of 4, $780,

A Cninposins Corona.ioa Pro<-.do..

Miss Mary Grace Thornton, daugh-
ter Of the British ambassador. describes
the coronation Of Alexander III Of Rus.
sia in Century. The writer says: Il was
certainly disappointed in the bit Of the
procession that looked forward TO
most-the Deputies des PeupIades Asi.
atiques sounlises Ia Russie, which
promised 10 De the most original. some.
thing that one could see in Russia only.
The opening Of the procession was char
acteristic: kozlov. the head Of the po-
lice, and - policemen. Then came the
emperor's private escort, very handsome
in red and gold. two Cc.ssack regiments,
the Cossack deputies, and ny friends
the Asiatics. No wonder I didn't find
them imposing, for just as they were
passing the bands struck up the national
hymn, the horses started, and the dep
uties became confused mass clinging
TO their horses names. The owner Of a
very beautiful yellow silk dressing
gown-all their costumes looked like
dressing gowns-kept his head and his
seat. but I saw the khan Of khivas

down IN most un-khan-ny way"

A Queer Freak OF Lightning.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 14.-During q
thunder storm o bolt of lightning cut
some queer capsrs at the suburban home
of Mr.. A. R. Logic, two miles east Of
Charlotte. Mrs. Logic was in the house
with the children and Mr.. Logic was in
the barn entertaining a farmer friend,
who had dropped. in tor shelter from the
storm. all at once almost everybody on
the place were knocked over. Lightning
had struck q tall cedar tree in front Of
Mr.. Logie's residence, and when thoss
about the house were able to make an
investigation some curious results were
found. The tree was split open and set
in 8 blaze by the lightning, and two
squirrels and six sparrows that had their
homes in the tree were killed. The bolt
entered the ground at the foot Of the tree,
ran under the sidewalk, emerged stthe
steps of the front porch, entered the house
under the front window, made q zigzag
course through two rooms, then went out
Of window and made for the barn. It
hit Mr.. Logic and the farmer, snd the
latter, not having q clear idea Of the stu
alton, got upon his feet and advanced
t~hreateningly upon his host. "What did
you hit me for ?' be wanted to know. MI.
Logic made q hasty explanation, and
saved himself.
Mrs. Logic and the children were
knocked from their feet and stunned, and
1t was some time before they recovered.
The only damage done was the shattering
of a valuable collection ofold china in one
of the rooms OF the house.

The Wasp.
The following is a small boys com.

The following is a small boys com
position on the wasp; "
"a wasp is s%ix-legged bird that
lives mostly in trees and under the
caves of barns, and you cannot tain
him he is too busy. Never stroke
his fur the wrong way, because it
makes him mad, and when a wasp is
mad I don't want nothing to do with
them. He has what they call a 'stin-
ger, and when he goes out a singer.
ing, boys must keep away from him.
I leaned up agin n once when he
was busy; and I jumped as much as a
feet ma had to put a mud pie on the
place. I hit a wasp's nest with 9
stone once and,the boss wasp chased
ME clean across the lot 80 fast that
when I got over the fence [ tore my
pants then ma spanked me till l
wished I had let the old wasp sting
me.
"Some say wasps make honey, but
if their honey is as hot as their sting
ering, [ don't want none. Pa says
the stingering amt so bad at first as
the rekolekshun of it for o few days.
He ought to know, cos me and my
brother Ike got on the roof and poked
a big nest from the peak down in the
barnyard while pa vas milking"

A Coffee AduIEerants

The greatest mesquite bean crop ever
known in the history of Texas is now
maturing. Hundreds Of thousands of
acres of prairie land west and south are
covered with mesquite bushes, which are
loaded down with bean pods. It is a
well known fact that tho mesquite bean
is an excellent substitute for coffee, 1t
being of almost the same flavor when
parched and containing almost the same
ingredients as the coffee bean. 1t has
long been used by the Mexicans to make
9 beverage in every way similar to coffee.
This fact led to the organization Of 8
company three years ago composed Of
San Antonio and St. Louis men, whose
object it was to gather the bean and put
1t on the market, mixing it with coffee
beans. A drought set in just at that time
and there was such q scarcity Of mesquite
beans that the enterprise wa abandoned.
Now that q bountiful crop of these beans
is assured the project has been revived,
and the experiment will be tried as soon
as the beans are ripe. There are several
million bushels of these beans in South
west Texas which are to be had for the
gathering.-San Antonio Correspondence

ROBBED Herself for the Grave.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July ia
sad story of dependency and suicide
comes from Hare's beat, in Marion
county. Miss Willie Ophlia Thornal,
a beautiful eighteen-year"old girl,
highly connected and we'll educated,
was found dead in her room by a ser
want, with a pistol ball through her
brain.
An investigation showed that in the
absence of the family the young wo-
man had secured some %laudanum, gone
to her room and swallowed two ounces
of it. She then bathed herself, robed
herself for the grave, wrote a note to
her mother, the contents Of which
have not been made public, and then
used the pistol. She was found by
the servant an hour later.
Distress over domestic troubles in
her fathers family is said to have
been the cause Of her suicide.
