Infant Sagacity.

"Out of the mouths OF babies cometh
wisdom" These may not be the exact
words, but words of similar purport
are TO be found somewhere between
the lids of the good book The truth
OF the saying was demonstrated in an
Omaha home one day last week, the
day in question being the one on which
there was q heavy thunderstorm
In the home in question is a fiye-year-
old lad who has a brother and sister
who are older than himself The elder
children We're greatly frightened at the
gathering clouds, flashing lightning
and rolling thunder. and were making
great outcries. The five-year-old
seemed to enjoy the gathering storm.
but his enjoyment was somewhat
marred by the bewailings of his broth
er and sister. Finally he turned to
them and said:
"Oh, shut UP our bawlin'. Don't
you s'pose God knows his business?"
If some of the older ones would ex-
ercise a little wisdom of this kind there
would be less trembling and moaning
when a thunderstorm approaches

Enormous Production OF Gold In the
United States.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Times Herald
to-day publishes reports from all the
gold producing sections of the country
showing an enormous increase in the
output for 1897. On the subject the
Times-Herald says: "Gold production
in the United States has increased with
marvellous rapidity during the current
year. The craze of the Klondike river
regions should not obscure the great
facts as they exist. Klondike's total
yield for 1897, seems, roughly. to be
about s, 600 900. That is a comfortable
sum but it is mere nothing when com
pared to the output Of the yellow metal
in the United States
The Times Herald, roughly estimat-
ing the total output for 1897 Of California
Colorado, the Black hills, Arizona,
Montana, Idaho and Oregon, places the
