About 10000 per year is melted at
Geneva, and in all a net loss of from
100000 to 100000 is indicated. At
the latter figure the total in twenty

coin by manufacturers, jewellers, den

gold in the country was 1,053, Sis, 1892

Mr.. Hurley says that all the indica-
tions are that the worlds output of
gold will continue to increase for
many years to come, even over the
vast amounts that are being turned
out at the present day. Not only, he
says, are new processes saving gold
that it was impossible to save ten
years ago, but new gold camps are
springing into life and old silver mines
are developing into gold propositions

WOrry and Digestion.

The influence of fatigue on digestion
is pretty well understood. Scientific
experiments have demonstrated the
fact beyond a doubt. They have even
gone further and shown that fatigue
is disease, and that it is possible to
produce the same symptoms in one an
imal organization by inoculatIon with
the fatigued serum of another, show
ing that overwork produces al actual
poison in the system. Worry is equally
antagonistic to good digestion, another
fact that is well known, but cannot be
too often reiterated to this nation of
worrying folk. A little rest and BAN
ishment of care in preparation for
meal should become habit. 1t means
heightened life and preserved health,
as do such other confessedly hygienic
habits as proper bathing, dressing and
wholesome food.-UnitedS States Health

Tips for Girls.

Never allow men to hear you ma
Ign your own sex. They never trust
woman who does it; they suspect
ler of envy and of bearing false wit
ness.
Be a bit blind when mot seeing"
will save some one humiliation.
Don't affect cynicism. Woman is
she daughter of Smiles - not of
Sneers. Be joy maker-in a quiet
way.
Don't be afraid to show apprecia-
tion of what your male relations do
for you.
Remember men are natural beauty
worshipers. Be careful to look as
well as possible, and above all be
heat.
Cultivate housewifely talents. They
are not spectacular, but they make
mans life worth living, and he knows
it.
Get rid of your mannerisms. Some
women "sniffle," some giggle, others
interrupt, and vast number nag.
The last habit as a home-wrecker is
supreme.
Whatever else you lack, you need
we'll trained voice. Loud-speaking,
loud-laughing women are repulsive to
all sorts and conditions of men. Cul-
tivate low tones.-Philadelp Rec

House of Commons Customs,

Members of the House of Commons
are not allowed to refer to each other
by name In debate. The only member
who is properly addressed by name is
the Chairman who presides over the
deliberations of the House in commit
tee. On member rising to speak in
committee he begins with "Mr. Low
ther," and not with "Mr. Chairman"
as at public meetings. When the
Speaker is in the chair, the formula is
"Mr. Speaker, Sir"
In debate a member is distinguished
by the office he holds, as THE Right
Honorable Gentleman, the Chancellor
Of the Exchequer," or by the constit.
uency he represents, as "The Honora-
BILE Gentleman, the Member for York. y
Some make use of the terms, "NIy
Honorable Friend" or MY Right
Honorable Friend" In case of family
relations the same form is usually OBJ
served Occasionally "My Honorable
Relative" or MY Right Honorable
Relative" is heard, but MY Right
Honorable Father" or "My Right
Honorable Brother" though no doubt
allowable has not been hitherto used.

Every ONO has had difficulty at one
time or another in distinguishing
married from single women. In Eu-
ropean capitals hereafter a distinc-
ton is to be made, to the end that
embarrassing mistakes may be
avoided. Hitherto the only distin-
gushing mark between the married
and the unmarried woman has been
the wedding ring, of no particular
consequence at evening functions,
where, with the exception of dinners,
a woman's hands are never uncov-
cred.
Now all is changed. Coiffeurs in
sist that madam must wear her
aigrette on the right side of her head,
mademoiselle on the left. If ma
demoiselle desires to enhance her
beauty by flower instead of an
aigrette, let her have it by all means,
tucked In with seeming artless grace,
but let her make sure it is the left
side of her profile she studies while
arranging the effect. lest later on she
be accused of endeavoring to seem
that which she is not.-Philadelph

Beauty OF Carriage.

Writes Cousin Madge in London
Truth: About month ago some one
wrote to Truth over the signature "a
Lover of Beauty" drawing attention
to the
"Ungainly walk of nearly all those
most beautiful and dexquisitely-dressed
ladies', as fair as can be, who fire.
quent Hyde Park after church on
Sundays. Beautiful as they are, it
must be confessed that most of them
waddle or slouch rather than walk.
Few-alas, very few!-have that pos
ture or bearing which is essential to
gracefulness and far more attractive
in woman than the costliest of
dresses. The truth | find to be that
they have never yet learned to walk.
Would that they could see their sis
ters in Gale, Florida, Buenos Ayres!
Then it would be realized by them
that their gait Is deformed in COM
parison to that of their Latin sis
ters."
l am afraid there is considerable
truth in this accusation. have
often noticed how very few English
girls can manage to hold their heads
up without looking self-assertive,
keep their shoulders fiat without
looking stiff, or hold the chest well
forward. And very, very few have
a thoroughbred action about the
knees. 1t is delightful when one
comes across a girl who sails along
with absolute grace, holding her
shoulders back, her chin up but not
out, and her elbows in their natural
position; not squared back in the
queer fashion CT the hour. Look at
the fashion plates! There you will
see the elbow position that makes
every woman look out of drawing. 1t
is not pretty. Is it? The human
elbow was never intended to project
at the back of the waist in this curl
GUS way. Almost all the, figures in
fashion plates are drawn with the
body, from the waist upward, at an
angle of as with the line of the low
er limbs.
| fancy that much Of the ungrace-
full walking is caused by tight lacing
AMI tight boots. A girl we know,
who used to stutter along in No. 4
shoes, was advised by her doctor to
walk four hours a day in order to
ceunteract the ill-effects of sluggish
liver. To manage so much pedes-
trianism she had to wear No. shoes;
but if this was a disadvantage it was
amply atoned for by the improvement
in her walk and carriage. She no
longer shutters on her feet, but gets
over the ground in splendid style,
with "the gait OF a goddess" like the
heroine of a modern novel.

MOSQUITOES AND YELLOW FEVER.
Further Evidence That the Pests Spread
the Disease.

Further Evidence That the Posts Spread
the Disease.
The report of the Board of Army
Medical officers that yellow fever is
spread by infested mosquitoes is
strongly substantiated by the expert
ence of southern Louisiana, and it is
probable that memorandum will be
prepared by the authorities in the
Piney Woods districts of tie State and
forwarded to the board. 1t is asserted
by those authorities that the disease
never spreads beyond the sections
where mosquitoes prevail.
At Covington, La, only thirty miles
from New Orleans, there have been
cases Of yellow fever of refugees from
the coast towns; but the disease has
never spread from them to the inhabi-
tants of the town. In past epidemics
the Piney Woods of Louisiana and
Mississippi, only few miles from the
coast, were considered a safe refuge
from the fever, and it was attributed
to the sanitary influence of the pines,
without any good reason therefore.
The fact that the mosquito is unknown
in those woods, save in few bottoms
along the stream, would give a better
explanation of the absence Of the dis.
ease or rather of it's failure to spread,
even when persons already infected
with the disease seek refuge among
the pines. The report of the Board
of Army Medical Men explains what
has heretofore been a mystery.
The authorities in the Piney Woods
towns also call attention to the re-
markable fact that while ice will not
kill the germ, as is shown by the re-
appearance Of the disease after the
bitter winter of 1897, it disappears
after light frost. This can easily be
explained by the mosquito theory,
for the lightest frost kills off the mos
quitoes, and the disease disappears
simultaneously with them.

Two Winter Frocl<s.

Sharp contrasts are to be seen in
the fashionable shops these days
The airiest of frocks are exhibited
for midwinter wear, too, and the fur
riest, cosiest of wraps and suits are
shown in the same rooms. AS for
the furs-they were never more lux
urious, and let us hope will never be
more expensive than they are this
year.
Two frocks shown in a Fifth av-
enue shop are typical of the seasons
extremes in fabrics and fashions.
The first was an airy affair of
mauve taffetas; the skirt was tight
fitting over the hips and fell in
double fiounce. 1t was trimmed with
several rows Of very narrow Irish
lace inserting. The bodice had
deep ceinture of black velvet brought
through a fantastically chiselled gold
buckle. There was bolero arrange
ment Of Irish gulpure over mauve
gauze, and a waistcoat of antique
cream silk fastened with big gold
buttons.
The near neighbor of this dainty
creation was a gown Of gray frieze
(and the cpstumer called it "friEe,"

For tho Woman Who sews.

The deft-fngered woman who
evolves smart creations in her own
sewing room should make a note of
the fact that big bow or chou of
silk or gauze to fasten the bolero in
the centre of the front is the smart
est caprice of the moment. Even the
little corsage coats sent out with the
tailor frocks are finished in this way.
She might also make a memo. of the
fact that the skirt and bolero effects
that are so attractive in cloth and
spotted silk are made in one piece.
Swathed corselets are also arranged
upon foundation. which in some
cases also serves to keep the little
vest and collar in place.

AMERICAN CIRCUS IN GERMANY.
Not q Workman Went to the Factories on
the Day 1t Came to Town.

sho Ivy ~ ShhS " loWhs
Aix-la- -Chapelle is a busy manurac-
turing town in Germany, close to the
Belgian frontier, on q little tributary
of the Meuse River. 1t has nearly
100000 inhabitants, and its numerous
advantages make it very busy and
thriving city. Its sulphur and thermal
springs originally made its fortune, for
Charlemagne was so pleased with
them that he made the place the capt.
tai of his empire, and though the town
hall now occupies the site of the mar
Bile palace he built the chapel that he
erected and in which he was buried
still exists as part of the cathedral.
Nearly 10000 visitors flock to Aix-la-
Chapelle every year to take the wat
ers, but the springs are by no means
the only source of prosperity. 1t has
large elements of wealth in its coal,
lead and zinc mines, in its metal
working establishments, and in it's
cloth mills and manufactures Of
needles and pins. A large part of the
people work in the mills
Late in September last the inhabit-
ants of the busy town had a new sem
sation. 1t was an American circus,
and curiosity was aroused to the high
est pitch by such advertising as the
people had never seen before. The
interest in the billboard display and
in the circus itself when it entered the
town with great blare of trumpets
was so great that Consul Brundage
thought it worth while to send re-
port about it to the State Department.
The art display on the billboards was
revelation to everybody. The thrill
ing and marvellous scenes to be wit
ness under the canvas We're depicted
in the most expansive and highly col
ored style of American circus art.
Nothing like the magnitude and stun
ming character of this bill-posting had
ever been seen in the town before, and
the free show given on every dead
wall was the talk Of Aix-la- -Chapelle
for fortnight before the circus ar
rived. Thousands thronged around
the circus grounds when the big wag-
ons and tent hands arrived, and the
way the rings were prepared and the
tents erected caused even more aston
ishnent than the spectacular bill
boards.
In fact, by the time the canvas door
flap was turned back and the ticket
seller was ready for business every
body in the town had taken a hand in
advertising the great American show.
There was no work for the factory
hands that day. Not workman went
to the factories, and every spindle in
the town was idle. "At every per-
formance," writes Consul Brundage,
1.-The tent was full. The vague antip-
athy felt by the people for the United
States has been turned to respect and
awe. The people now say: Any
thing Is possible to Americans

Arts and Crafts for Country Women.

The women of the historic town of
Deerfield, Mass, have been busily at
work several years, in their spare
time, learning the secrets of the fam
GUS and beautiful blue-and-white en-
broidery, the knack of weaving mar
ketable rugs, and of fashioning use
full and dainty baskets from palm
leaf. An exhibition of the fruits of
their labor is held every year, and a
market is found thereby among sum-
mer visitors and people of the cities
for the product.
The workers, many of them, natu-
rally have their eye upon the cash
returns-which, by the way, make a
pretty showing. But to the outside
observer this is recognized as one
Of the minor blessings. The woman
who loves beautiful things and is in.
terested in the worlds progress, but
is kept closely at home by the daily
routine, finds in this work not merely
pin money, but an outlet for her
tastes and aspirations. She lives out
her larger self, artistically and social.
ly. How few people in the world,
country or city, have thair eye
trained to beauty and their hand to
deftness, as God intended they
should be trained. Fortunate indeed
is the community which develops the
latent skill and taste of its women
and girls in useful arts and crafts.
There is town in New York state
where Ebert Hubbard, humorist and
sage, keeps scores of women and girls
busy decorating and binding books
and weaving rugs. A young woman
in New Hampshire village is build
ing up a lace industry, If we remem.
ber rightly. which promises to be ex-
tensive.
What can be done in these places
can be done in others. On the eco
nomic side of the question, let us drop
hint right here-there is a grow
ing demand in the cities and large
towns for the best hand work In va
rious lines, as an escape from che
cheapness and the monotonous uni
formity Of machine-made things. This
is true of preserved fruits and vege-
tables, as well as Of fancy work, fur
niture. and a score of other things,
The time and the ability to supply
the demand often belong to the
farmers wife and daughters. But it
is the other side of the problem we
would emphasiZe-the immense val
ue of such occupation in enabling
women to live out their natural
selves, and be that part of the world
of art and industry which nature in
tended them to be. while fulfilling
their duties as home-makers.-

The Prince of NvaIes's Income.

The truth is that from the moment
of his birth the Prince of Wales has
been splendidly rich. He was born,
as the Irishman would say, with sixty
thousand year in his pocket, and
from that day to this the Duchy of
Cornwall has yielded him that magni1-
cent sum. At twenty-five the Prince
married, and Parliament gave him
Marlborough House and a wedding
present Of 100000 year. That too,
has come to him regularly since 1868,
year In and year out. In 1889, when
the Princes family ran away with his
money, Parliament once more came
to his aid and nearly doubled the grant
he had received since 1863 From
1889 the Prince has been relieved of
the anxieties of a father for the finan-
cial welfare of his children by a spe-
cial grant of f36000 a year which
comes to him in quarterly instalments
of $4,000. So that the public income
of the Prince is f136,000 a year. That
is what it is worth to be Prince of
Wales.-Temple Magazine

A crowd of United States surveyors
and allotting agents were recently
working in the reservation of the
Comanche Indians, surveying, estab-
fishing cornerstones and getting every
thing ready to divide the land in quart
er sections. The Indians did not take
very kindly to the division and allot-
ment of their land, and seeing that the
whites were scared, they decided to
act. The surveyors were all tender
feet from Washington. Suddenly,
without warning, their camp was in
vaded by yelling, shooting band of
800 Indians in war paint and
feathers. The surveying party could
not stand the pressure and started out
for the settlements along the Texas
line, and kept up ther flight, pursued
by the Indians, until they crossed the
state line. Then tey telegraphed to

Fort Sill and the commander there
sent out large cavalry force to pro-
tect the surveyors. The general sup
