The Trappist monks consider eat
ing to be a necessary evil and curtaiI
1t to such n degree that one step fur
ther would be suicide. Dinner, to
which scarcely fifteen minutes are de-
voted, consists of u mess Of vegetables
boiled in water without butter or salt
and served in a crude earthenware
bowl, slice or two of rye bread with
out butter and mug of milk or water
as a beverage. Supper is the barest
apology for a meal, being nothing more
than bread and water. The guest
master did not mention breakfast. If
there be such meal, it probably CON
sists merely of glass of water. A
slight relaxation of this dietary is al
lowed to invalids. who may have two
eggs a day, while on extraordinary oc-
casions, such as a funeral feast in
honor of departed friar, the monks
revel in an egg apiece. They are strict
vegetarians, and a Trappist must be

There was once club formed of lazy
men. Fines were inflicted on those who
ever forgot themselves so far as to do
anything in haste. One day several
members saw an old doctor who was
renowned for his iaziness drive past
the door Of the club at a furious rate,
and loudly they chuckled at the
thought of fining him. But on applying
to him on the ground of his having
been in such a hurry the doctor slowly
replied, "No. wasn't in a hurry, but
my mare wanted to go fast, and l was
too lazy to stop her."

loaded with melons happened to pass
as they iled along, and the darlxies all

One young buck, after hugging that
melon for several blocks, "just couldn't

the melon against the edge of the curb

Although the empire of Japan is said
to be a paradise of children" where
they are allowed to do very much as
they please and where they seldom If
ever cry, their life is not all play. The
little boys and girls have their work to
do, but in many skillful ways they turn
work into play. Take, for instance, the
little girls who have baby sisters or
brothers to care for. They tuck the
youngsters into their queer garments
and go on with their games of ball. If
the baby grows tired and begins to
fret, the "1ittle mother" jounces it up
and down over her shoulder with d pc
culiar humping motion of her back
without stopping the game. All the
time she sings some pretty song.

that New Mexico and Arizona, being

The most important and essential
piece of legislation that could be OBJ
tanned for the benefit Of all the coun-
ties in this Territory, would be to do
away with the office of district attor-
ney and substitute county attorneys.
Take for example the fifth judicial
district, composed as it is of the
counties of Socorro, Lincoln, Ohaves
and Eddy, compelling one to travel
over 500 miles from Socorro to Ros-
well. What is the result? The great
milage is fast bankrupting these
counties, and the long journeys are
the cause of our district attorney not
being able TO attend to his duties,
again causing financial losses that are
grinding the poor taxpayer to death.
How long shall this state of affairs
continue? We say that the man who
introduces bill at the next session Of
the legislature to do away with the
office Of district attorney and 6ubsti-
tute that of county attorney will ac-
compl1sh more for the people IF this
territory than even statehood could |
do under the most favorable condi- |
tions. Let each and every county
pledge the candidates, no matter what
party they belong to, that if elected as
Of the council or house they
will support a bill of that kind in
preference to any and all others that
may be introduced. This and this
alone will save our counties from
actual bankruptcy.-El Republican,.

$58,666,7Oo OF GOLD
United States Led All the Countries In the Production of the Most Precious of the MetaIs--oon-

Washington. November 12.--George D. Roberts director of the mint, has com pleted his report on the production Of the precious metals for the calendar year 1901. The output of gold from the United States during the year was s5s'- 666, ,70O and of silver, commercial value' S33, ,128, 400. Mexico sent out S10,2s4,SOO gold and s34,b93, GOO silver; Canada s2412S, TOO gold and ss.145.OO0 silver; Africa ss,oss 300; no silver; Australia $76,sSo,2oO golo and s1S2s,5o0 silver. Russia s22, ,S50sOO gold; AustraliaL Hungary sI1sS7Oo gold and s2,OOO,OOO silver; Germany sS,a3OOO silver; Spain 1.911. 600 silver; Brazil leads the South American countries In the out put of gold, $2,775.40O being her quota; Colombia produced 8 600 gold and s1,- 129,OOO silver; Chile s1Os7,oO0 gold and s5,- 553, 900 silver; Peru $1,s2s,0o0 gold and sS,- ssO.OOO silver; Bolivias output of silver was 6157,O00
 China's output of gold was s9,Os1.0oO. British India ss,Ss5 coo, Korea $4.5Oo,OOO and Japan $1, 500. Japan also produced s1,- 0S7.OOO silver.
 The United States imported during the year gold to the value of $54,741,SS0 and exported s57, ,7S3 s3s, Austria-Hungar sS5,- 731, GOO and s77S5,753 France $82, ,15S and $27, 985, 900, Great Britain $104, 0605S8 and $67, 961, 962, Germany $61d26,32S and $l2'27S,- 7O9, Egypt $14677, ,469 and $11,971,274, Russia $459S, 6S5 and s34,870, GOO
 Of silver the United States imported $31, ,146, TSP and exported $55, ,63S, GOO, Great Britain $61 Al ,061 and $5S GAO, 900. India $39- 8S5, ,1S7 and S16 549, 900, France $18.S85 900 and 06S, ,547 and S9, 432, ,00O, the Straits settlement SIS, 7S7 GOO and $167,33 Switzerland SS,429,- 900 and $2,27S,00O. Australia exported $6,- 0S9,000 and imported nothing.
 MT. Roberts says the industrial con- sumption of the precious metals in the world Is estimated, in round numbers, at $S0, ,0O0 GOO gold and 100000 silver.
 The silver market was depressed throughout the year. The highest quota ton was made on January in London of 27ss. The purchases for the account Of India fell off heavily from the preceding year. The demand for China also de- clined owing to the retirement of most of the foreign troops called there during the boxer troubles. While the troops were there the shipments of silver were ex- ceptionally large, and after their retire. ment silver bars and Mexican dollars ac- cumulated at the seaports in unusual amounts, rendering further imports for the time unnecessary.
 About 30 per cent of the silver output of the United States is from silver ores, the remainder being produced in conjunction with lead and copper.
