The Emperor William swung off
from his Spanish trip, and has hasten

en- for his doing so, the most probable
is that the complications in the East
are becoming so various that the En-
peror felt he must be at the seat of
government. BY the way, according
to the papers, he scored the priests
and pastors of the various congrega-
tiOns in Jerusalem for "everastingly
quarreling over dogmatic questions,
neglecting to teach true charity and
pure Christian life" A visit of the

THE USE OF MAILS.

The use of the mails is a fairly good
guide as to intelligence and prosperi-

therefore very interesting. Thus, in

Massachusetts heads the list with an
average compensation of $335.62 per
annum. Rhode Island comes next
with $31936 and Connecticut with an
average of $2s3.45. On the other hand
the average compensation in North
Carolina is $S5.72, the lowest compen-
sation in all the states.

of the population expended in the use

1t was melancholy story that the
returning Klondikers told as they
passed through here to Australia. And
their story is the story of hundreds,
nay of thousands. For every one who
has made money in the Klondike prob
ably five hundred have gone broke.
This is no new story of all gold fields,
but the conditions of life at the Klon-
dixie are far harder than probably in
any other. still, as long as men
desire to make fortunes in a
year or so and there seems chance
of doing it, they will risk all danger
for the thirst of gold.

a special coin for the Island, known
as the Costa Rican peso. OF these
about 100000 were coined by Spain
and allowing for loss and destruction
there are about 100000 in circula-
ton. These are about the size of an
American silver dollar, but are of
light weight and contain only thirty
to forty cents value of American sill
yer. Gold costs $3.50 to $3.50. Of
course this currency will have to be
