Chinese Act In MObs and Hordes.

in China wonders neither at the fire.

The average Chinaman lacks the pow

hard for us to conceive. Being as
credulous as they are ignorant, the

arouse their superstition and fanati-
cism.

The Duke Of Devonshire, at the Dun
NOW School ofsAgriculture a few days
ago, referred to the Indifference shown
by farmers to education.
My own experience In Derbyshire
is" heS remarked, "that all the best
boys when they leave school want to
go into the service of great railway
company, and that all the girls want
to be dressmakers and milliners in a
great manufacturing town in Lanca
shire"
He thought great many of our
best educated girls would do a great
deal better to remain at home and
qualify themselves to be farmers
wives. Farmers sent their children to
secondary schools so as to fit them for
some occupation which had nothing
whatever to dc with farming.

ART OF cOSTUMlNC.
The Latest Wrinkle fs Teaching MILL
merry and DressmakinR.


Art is now applied to millinery and
dressmaking. In all the industrial
schools where these subjects are
taught according to the most improved
methods the study of drawing now ac
companies instruction in trimming and
making bonnets, and cutting, fitting
and fashiOning gowns. The teacher
of drawing as applied to millinery has
her pupils sketch faces. She shows
them that person with down turn
ing nose should not wear hat with
a forward dropping brim, and con-
versely that the woman with a neg
retroussee should avoid an upturned
hat. The pronounced feature of a face
should not be emphasized, says the
teacher, of millinery drawing. Draw
ings of feathers, flowers, different
styles of bows and other kinds of gar
nishing are made and the grouping of
trimming studied in detail on differ
ent styles of hats. In the dressmak-
ing class drawings are made from
models. the lines Of the body are stud,
led and fashions adapted to short, tall,
stout and thin figures pointed out to
the class by illustration. One of the
city industrial schools obtained last
winter the privilege Of taking its pu-
pills to one of the large department
stores to make sketches of the latest
inportatiOns in gowns. The young
women went in twos and threes aud
seated themselves in secluded spots
in the big display rooms and made
the most of their opportunities 10 cap
ture hints of trimming, detail and de-
sign, which the limited horizon If their

view of. On the return to the school
rooms, using a member Of the class
as model, an attempt was made in
every case to duplicate the graceful

GOLD STATISTICS.
Production of the Metal in Three
Years-Its Location.


New York. January ia statistical
review OF the supply and movement OF
gold since 1896, by Maurice l.. Muhlman,
deputy assistant treasurer of the United
States, was given out today.
Mr.. huffman says: THE recent ex-
portation of gold to Europe and the sus-
pension of mining In South Africa has di-
rect attention to the worlds supply OF
the yellow metal and its distribution.
Accurate figures for the end of 1899 are
not yet available, but those at hand are
sufficient to give comprehensive gem
eral view OF the general subject. ] have
taken for comparison the period from the
close Of 1896, in which year the conditions
in the United States were decidedly un-
settled. The worlds production OF gold
in three years OF 1887. 1883 and 1889 were
estimated to have been between 1926, 000,-
O0O and $3.50 900. 600. The following table
shows the location of important stocks

at will thus be seen that the banks OF
Europe had on the first OF the present
month very little more gold than at the
beginning OF 1897. whereas the United
States gained ss23. 100000. We kept or
own product and gained by imports abou;
s135, 100000. The United States were thus
best able to lose gold to England when
the demand rose. In the redistribution
during the three years Russia shows a losa
OF sl5i. 900. Spain and Austria gained
materially. while England, France ard
Germany lost. The South African war
not only stopped the usual flow of gold to
