The United States has long enjoyed
the distinction of producing more gold
than any other country. but in spite OF
the recent discoveries in Alaska. and
the gold that is being brought into the
country via the Pacific, It is thought
that we are to be robbed of this dis
tinCtiOn. There is reason to believe
that the TranSyaal Will soon take the
lead in gold-production, if it has not
already done so. The Engineering and
Mining Journal recently, estimating the
output of gold for the year, credited to
the United States 5.49S.9JO and to
the Tramsyaal %5I,472,3OO. The Sig
njticance Of these figures is understood
by Il comparison with the figures for
1896, which show that the increase in
the United States was only $3.O0O,OOO.
while the Transvaal made jump OF
no less than S13JOO.O0O. If the Trans
yaal keeps up anything like this pace
during the present year. there is little
doubt that we shall be left behind in
the gold-producing race. II is not inn
possible, indeed, that the United States
may drop to the third place before long.
Australia is increasing her production
Of gold rapidly. Her total last year
WAS more than S49OOO,OOO, and this
without counting New Zealand and other
adjacent islands. This shows n gain OF
nearly 1000 600 over the yield of 1896;
50 ii will be seen that If Australia con-
tinues to gain At the same rate and the
United States makes no more progress
than it has in the last twelve months,
there will be two countries in the world
with a better gold-producing record
than ours.

A shrewd Photographer.

A Fifth avenue photographer has
lately completed a system by which hi4
pictures of babies have become famous
He has discarded all the familiar ex-
pedients of his profession to persuade
very young children to submit to the
camera and his scheme has been com
pletely successful. One part of his gal
lery has been fitted up like a nursery.
Around the room at convenient points
are situated cameras and these are in
charge of his assistants. The photog-
rapher devotes his attention to the baby.
He tries all the toys in turn, gets on as
intimate terms as possible with the baby
after such short acquaintance and grad
ually lures the unsuspecting infant into
looking his best. When pose and ex-
preston are satisfactory, he gives sig
nal to one of his assistants at the cam
eras and the trick is done. Mothers
bring their babies from all quarters to
this tactful photographer. 1t would be
difficult matter to find any child who
would not. after ten minutes session
with toys, exhibit some expression that
his parents would be proud Of The
artist catches that expression and as
many other agreeable ones as possible.
The final delight comes to the mother
when she receives the proofs, not sent
as proofs usually are, but mounted ON a
large piece Of cardboard which makes it
possible for her to compare them stimuli
taneously. This wise man has left moth
ing undone which could strengthen his
hold on the babies and their photo
graphs. New York Sun.

THE FUNNY FELLOWS.
The Romance of a Laundry

The Romance of a Laundry.
Each day passed the little place
While to my work j went
And always saw that beauteous face
Der busy fingers bent
A face clear cut as cameo:
Checks like the dawn's first rosy glowI
A clerk but in laundry shop
Strange theme for poets rhyme
Yet every day had to stop
To see her roses climb
The trellis of her checks, afame,
And wondered what could be her name.
1t seems I'd fallen meath the spell
That love works everywhere,
And SO it followed oh that-well,
took my laundry therel
And, oh, the rapture of her smile
Convinced me that twas worth my while
'Tis true my collars oft returned
With ragged edge and seam
And thatmy cuffs were cracked and burned
But what cared loves young dream?
felt as though had to take
My laundry there just for her sakei
So, noiseless, time passed on his way.
Now summer queens the sky
And still that dream of love holds sway,
But to that laundry ]
These long two months lave ceased to roam
For now to see her ! so homel

A FEATURE OF THE DAY.

fseem to like the vagueness of the day
Which hesitates its meaning to express
And qualities whate'er it seems to say
By "more or less.
It ministers to life's smooth, easy flow
And saves world of trouble, we confess,
To intimate that all we seem to know
Is .smore or less"
Our own identity we seem TO doubt.
That you are you is but a splendid guess
That am I, l dare not swear without
A "more or less.
To shallow souls are only slender needs.
When skies are fair and fortune seems to
bless,
We seem to think we find in all the creeds
Truth, "more or less.''
And yet seem to think there can be few
Who will not find in times of storm and
stress
Their souls demand the altogether true,
&C. J. Boden.

Earliest soiling Crop.

The earliest crop that can be cut for
soiling from spring seeding is one of
oats or barley. 1t is good economy to
cut oats green just as the head is form
ing and feed it to cows The stalk is
then juicy and it contains the nutri-
ment that little later will be deposited
in the grain it it were allowed to stand.
The amount of green feed that will
make good ration for milk COW
would produce less than two quarts of
oats if allowed to ripen as grain.

The spirit that aotuates the Century
Wheelmen of New York in their effort
to keep women from going along ON
club runs is only the outcropping of the
old intolerance and bigotry that tried to
keep us from studying medicine or law
or becoming ministers or entering bust
ness or having the ballot. 1t is the same
spirit that kept the southern negro i'll
slavery, the white serf of Europe in
thrall. Inch by inch we must meet it
and overcome it, as we will do and are
doing. But this is to be said to those
who would drive women out of coop
erative colleges, out of professional So
cieties and athletic associations: Let
them look we'll what they are about. 1t
may be that woman will take them at
their word, accept the solitary role to
which they would condemn her, form
associations Of her own sex alone and in
them put forth all the powers to which
SO many men are trying to deny devel-
opment through channels already form
ed. We tell these men that when wom-
ems intellectual and physical powers,
fully trained and developed, are put to
the test, it will not be our sex who will
suffer. This we know beyond doubling.
So sure as God reigns, woman's day is
coming.
