CnYe DxxeIIerr In Dienne.

People who only'know the gayer side
OF Dleppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence Of the cave dwellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within a stones
throw Of the casino, and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfish from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being a pc
culiar complexion of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton on the part of the cave dweller to
avail himself Of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar. but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality, though,
which savors of no age but the present.

THE OBSERVER.
THE OLD MILL.

This old mill stands by the waters edge,
Ruined and rotted and tumble-downi
The green moss covers its sinking roof,
Its storm beat sides are dusky brown.
The stream still rushes over the dam,
But the only sound is the waters roar,
For the busy whirr of the wheels is still,
The noisy buzz is heard no more.
Once when this northern land was new,
When the lofty pine stood in its might,
The falling waters turned the wheel,
The cleaning saws sped day aud night.
But all mans building has its end,
1t falls away, IL cannot last.
This ruined mill, so bleak aud dark,
Is all that tells us of the past.

LITERARY NOTE.

One day being in moody sort of
mood, the Observer was walking along
the high west bank of the river shore,
and as he walked along he ground out
the above doggerel. He had in mind
the old Clarke mill. but since the recent
fire you'll have to apply what he has
written to any old mill that's lying
around handy.

reIesraphine with Cannon.,

When the first vessel completed the
passage of the then new Erie canal in
1925, there being no such thing as a
telegraph in those days, the news was
communicated to New York and to
Buffalo by cannons placed within hear
ing Of each other all the way along
from Albany to each Of the other cities.
The signal was passed along in this
way from Albany to New York city
and back again to Albany in So min
utes. The experiment was a costly
one, but was a success in every particu-
lar.

The total stock reported in 1873 was
about $4,000 OOO 600 OF which more than
half was In paper money not fully COW
cred by metallic reserves The situa-
ton at the beginning Of 1900 showed a
total monetary stock Of about 81, COO, .
O0O. 600 Of which only a little more than
one-fourth was In uncovered paper
money
Director Roberts finds that while the
money supply Of the world has In
creased about s.. OO0. 600. 900, the increase
In gold money since 1873 has been about
50 600 600 900, in silver about 81, 100 0OO.-
600 and in uncovered paper money only
about sejO0OO,OOO
A large proportion Of the increase in
gold has taken place within the short
space OF seven years, while the quantity

ginning Of 1896. has since been some.
