Not a Ladies' Man.

Perhaps the most striking trait in
Lord Kitchener's character is his dis
inclination to put a married man in a
position of responsibility under him.
He appears to hold the theory that
matrimony interferes with business.
He backs up his precept by example.
for, as everybody knows, Lord Kitch-
ener is a bachelor. Like many a not
able parsonage before him he does
not shine in the society Of ladies. 1t is
related that on one occasion he was
presented to a certain well-known
countess at Cairo. and opened the
conversation by asking:
DO you find Cairo nice In this sea
son Of the year?"
Delightful" she replied.
There was a pause of five minutes
during which Kitchener tugged
thoughtfully at his mustache. Then he
said:
"Ah. am glad"
Lord Kitchener docs not claim TO be
"a ladies' man" Boston Journal.

a case of the tail wagging the dog,

OF the $4,000, 900 600 OF gold produced
in the world since the discovery Of
America more than one-half has been
found since 1860 and more than one
quarter since 1SS5-or. to put Il in 9TH
er words, one-half OF the gold mined
in the last 400 years has been produced
within forty years and one-fourth
within fifteen years, says the Scientific
American. The treasury bureau OF
statistics has made some compilations
regarding the gold production OF the
world. In view OF the temporary sus-
pension OF gold mining in South Africa
and its possible effect upon the gold
supply OF the world.
Casual examination OF the figures OF
annual production shows plainly the
rapid increase during the last half Of
the closing century. In the decade
from 1861 TO 1870 the average annual
production arose TO s1,126, sol 800, the
total production being Si.263. OLE, 900.
In the next ten years the production
was slightly less. From 1891 to 1899 the
production increased in a remarkable
degree. amounting to no less than

amount being S20i, 1855.

Great Office BUILDING.

New York is to have the biggest OF.
fec building in the world, it is said.
It will not be remarkably high-only
20 stories-but it will cover a great
deal of ground and have more interi.
or space than any other structure on
the globe used for Office purposes.
The site, at the southeast corner of
Broad street and Exchange place IN
the very heart of the money district,
will cost $2,000,000, and it is believed
the building can be erected for $4,000.
600 more. Six million dollars for a
block Of brick and iron is a goodly
sum, but when the size of the block
and the value of the land on which II
will stand are considered it does not
appear to be too much. The new ALI
ance Realty Company, of which Fred
erick Southack is President. bought
the ground the other day and work on
the building will be commenced very

Monkeys in Their Temple at Bonares
Have Lots of Fun.


At Benares. India, there is temple
belonging to the monkeys who are
held sacred by the people and a party
of Americans visited this temple not
long since.
We had provided ourselves with
popcorn and goodies, writes one of
the party, which we intended to offer
the monkeys, but they did not give
us a chance to give them the dainties.
They snatched them from our hands,
and when our supplies were gone they
amused themselves by mocking us.
One of our party, who had a bad
cold, blew his nose very loudly
Scarcely had he replaced his handker-
chief in his pockot when a monkey
seized the end, pulled it out, and gave
fine imitation Of the act Then, Of
course, some of us had kodaks, and
after we had taken several pictures
another little imp picked up a little
block OF wood which lay upon the
ground, and with it took several snap
shots at us. A third mischievous ST.
mian Ga vain mother monkey, who de-
serted her infant for the purpose)
grabbed from my shoulders a red
scarf, and in a few flying leaps carried
It to a lofty minaret. There she put it
on, and seemed to be quite proud OF
her looks. But she was not allowed to
keep her prize. In about three minutes
at least 40 monkeys had bit a piece
of my, precious scarf Then our native
guide informed me that the monkeys
were very fond Of scarfs, and that
they captured a great many on the
stone "ghats" near the temple while
their owners were bathing in the riv'
er.
