of this amount 157 colleges received our 40 million dollars of it. Andrew Carnegie gave away the neat little plum of F million dollars in his work of building libraries and such like. It is hard to estimate just what the sum total of gifts and benevolences to churches and missionary societies has been, for the most of the societies re- port balance in the treasury or else not large debt, so that it appears that the hearts of men are open to the great cause of religion. The church reports are also favorable with growing denominations and increased expenses for home work, which is generously met by self-sacriice on the part of the workers. Verify the good is not all dead yet in the world.

The Reyelat,on Of Herrelf.

In "The Revelation Of Herself Mary
Farley Saxton has attempted to tell the
story Of Madge Pullen's love affair with
Antony Seymour Of the editorial staff OF
the Gazer In q series OF rambling and some
what incoherent letters. 1t isn't much OF
a story, anyway, but "Tony" endures II
for there months without q word, then, being
busy man, he hangs up the receiver and
leaves her to work out the plot as best she
can in the form Of diary. The letters
are what the average girl would write to
an absent lover II she had plenty OF time
and plenty Of ink, and there Is touching
little bit here and there that would make
other girls In similar circumstances turn
down the page or mark the passage for
future quotation in time Of need; still 1t
Is difficult to understand why such letters
should be handed down TO posterity In book
form. The plot, what there is Of 1t, can
. not be called sensational. The story is
chiefly occupied with the development
Of the herone's character through the power
Of love, and as character, like Rome, is not
constructed in a single day, the action Is
necessarily slow. -Tony" Is never allowed
to answer back or tell his side therefore
he makes rather vague and not altogether
satisfactory impression. AS target
toward which to fire sentimental phrases
he answers very we'll, but one would prefer
som ethipg less intangible and more ardent
in real lover. There is a well drawn
and pathetic figure of the old grandmother,
suddenly stricken with paralysis, but SO
tenacious Of life and purpose that it requires
a twelve month Of misery and the failure
of her chief project in life, not to mention
a somewhat theatrical thunderbolt, to kill
her. Madge, the heroine, who has per-
mitted herself to remain engaged to her
cousin Myles according to the plan OF her
grandmother and with the expectation Of

According TO the estimate OF the
director Of the mint the maximum gold
production Of the state Of Washington
occurred In 1898. when the total val
ne of all gold produced amounted 70
s7G6. 200. The decline since that time
has not been regular. though In 1909
there WAS q great drop TO practically
the same figure now reported for the
calendar year 1903. The preliminary
report Of Director Roberts does not
assign 3 cause for the great falling on
10 the gold production Of Washington,
though some explanation may be made
when the FINAL report on the gold pro
duetion Of the United States 10 pre-
pared. While many Of the leading gold
producing states show a falling on in
gold yield. Alaska breaks her record
OF 1908 with an aggregate output Of
es.6l5.700. The nearest approach TO-
this was in 1902, when the product
was ss.345, 600. Alaska is now the
third gold producing region In the
United States, Colorado holding arst
place. with a product Of So. $40, BOO;
California second. with sic .lO4. coo, and
South Dakota fourth. with a product
amounting 20 se.A2e, 700 last year.
Washington Is not among the leading
gold producing states. nor does IL rank
