The Engineering and Mining Journal
calls attention to the fact that the
United States treasury now holds in
round figures s510.OOo,OOO in gold.
which is the largest accumulation of
the yellow metal anywhere in the
world at present. Not all OF this, how
ever, is actually at the disposal Of the
treasury, only s64.Oo0.OOO being includ-
ed in its current cash assets. The sum
of $50, 0O0,0 900 is by the present law
held in the redemption fund. which
the treasury must hold against the
outstanding greenbaeks and United
States notes, while the balance OF
1896. 100000 is on deposit only, and is
represented by gold certificates in cir
culation.

The great department stores have
been a serious problem to small trad
ers all over the country, and In several
states unsuccessful attempts have
been made to regulate their growth by
legislation. A new plan is now to be
tried in Chicago in the form OF CO.
operative department store to which a
number of small dealers are to contrib
ute their capital and their work. The
whole investment will be five hundred
Thousand dollars, and it is planned to
sell everything from ice cream to a
coal hod. Each department will be
In charge Of skillful merchant, ia
miliar with that particular branch and
himself stakeholder. AS the rent
OF a single department will be
less than the rent of separate store,
and as each man hopes to carry his
old customers with him, the enterprise
starts with rosy hopes.

A pair of Kansas lovers the other
day went to Iowa to escape the law
which forbids the marriage of first
cousins. The same day in a Kansas
town a couple from Colorado took ad-
vantage of a Kansas law which per-
mits divorced person to marry after
the lapse of six months. These cases
led the Kansas City Journal to sug-
gest that the states send ambassadors
to each other with power to negotiate
treaties through which uniformity in
marriage laws might be secured.

PREFACE.

HhEfACG.
Ouida's world famous novel, "Under
Tw. Flags" dramatized by Paul NJ.
Potter, has made great hit on the
stage. The dramatist has dealt mainly
with that part of the book in which
Cigarette is SO conspicuous figure
and in which the Hon. BERTHE Cecil,
haying fed from England under a
cloud, is known only as Louis Victor
and "Bei-a-faire-peur," corporal in the
French army in Algiers. Cecil prior to
lis fight is member of the First Life
guards in LONDON and is such verita-
BILE Beau Brummel that he is called
Beauty of the Brigades." He is an
athlete. a wonderful amateur steeple-
chase Jockey, a great dirt and the re-
cipient Of the smiles of numerous
young matrons, the principal one being
Lady Guenevere. He is a second son,
a spendthrift, and his means are so
limited that he calls himself "a pauper
and q guardsman." His father, Lord
Royallfeu, hates him, but is very fond
of his younger brother, Berkeley, a
weak youth, with little sense of honor
While keeping a tryst with Lady Guen-
evere her reputation becomes imperil-
ed, and Cecil gives his word Of honor
that he will not tell where he was the
18th Of the month. He has incurred
the enmity of a race track tout and
Welcher named Ben Davis, whose
friend, Ezra Baroni, becomes possessed

dorsed with the forged signature

bosom friend, Lord Rockingham. fu-
ture Duke of Lyonnesse, better known
as s'Seraph." colonel Of the First Life
guards. When accused of the forgery
by Baroni, Cecil assures Seraph. who
implicitly believes in his honesty, that
he is innocent, but when given an op-
portunity to prove that he was not in
Baroni's Office on the 18th of the month
getting the forged note discounted he
refuses to do so because of his pledge
to Lady Guenevere and because blur
red. scrawled. miserable letter, blotted
with tears, reveals to him the identity
of the real forger He submits to ar
rest, but later, when Baroni attempts
to have him dragged handcuffed
through the streets. escapes with his
valet, Rake, to France. Prior to his ar
rest Seraph's little S-year-old sister,
Lady Venetia. tells him she hears he
has lost all his money owing to the de
feat Of his favorite horse Forest King.
because the horse was drugged by the
welcher's paid tool in ressage and Of
fers to give him all her money Cecil
is greatly touched by the child's kind
ness, but refuses her aid, accepting in
