that is comprised in the hidden boards OF

in fact, throughout the Orient. are at
hicted with the time-hOnored habit of
boarding gold, which the influence exer-
cised during the centuries by the Mahom-
medans, as well as the insecurity OF life
and property. has in course Of time, eX-
tended TO the Hindus and other Asiatic
races. In fact. the boarding goes on all
over Asia and Africa.
Experts, such as the Director Of the
United States Mint at Washington, and
other authorities Of equal standing. have
no difficulty in forming an approximate
estimate of the worlds output OF gold in
the last POO years. But the most remark
able feature thereof is 10 be found IN the
fact that although since the discovery
of gold mines in Australia, South Africa,
California. and the Yukon. there has
been an enormous increase in the prOduc-
ton Of the yellow metal. there has been
no corresponding growth, but on the
contrary a great decrease in the none
taTy circulation thereof. In fact, the
latter has fallen of.

FS~nch Peasants Stim Hoard.

There is every reason TO believe that
the French peasantry. who are among
the most thrifty and prosperous in the
world, are again boarding to-day. as they
were in the habit Of doing prior 10 the
war of 1870. The Panama crash. the
growing unpopularity Of Russian bonds
as a means Of French investment and
the lack of financial confidence in the
present government institutions that has
been TO a great extent inspired BY the
clergy ever since the beginning Of the
war between church and state, also the
attacks OF SOCIALISM, and anarchy upon
every form Of capital, have rendered the

geois" unwilling to part with their saw

they did fifty years ago, and it is probable
that there is to-day u far larger amount

Ten Centuries of boarding.

When It is remembered that this work
of absorption has been going on with
little interruption for ten centuries and
still continues-even in 1899 the French
Envoy Bernier. in a report TO his govern
ment dated from Delhi, wrote that the
gold of the world, after circulating for
some time, finally flows into India, as
into an abyss. from which There is no re-
turn'-it is possible to form some faint
idea Of the colossal amount Of treasure

Effect on Bunk Reserves.

The Bank OF England is said TO be
poorer by SloOOOoO00 in gold than it was
five years ago, and analogous institutions
show a similar decline in the bullion re-
serve. which they ascribe 10 the never
ending disappearance OF gold from circu-
lation. And although, according to the
annals Of the ante-Christian era, the
amount Of gold then in existence was
even greater than that Of to-day-as we
know, for instance, by the records of the
construction Of the Temple OF Solomon
at Jerusalem-yet that gold, too. has dis
appeared alike from sight and circula-
ton, boarded. boarded away in hiding
places long since forgotten. the quantity
Of ancient gold recovered. usually in the
form OF manufactures, eloquent Of the
volume of metal used for the purpose in
ancient days, being so infinitesimal that
it is hardly worth mentioning
While undoubtedly Asia and the north
ern and central regions Of Africa are
responsible for the disappearance Of the
greatest amount or gold from circulation,
the people Of Europe and of America are
far from being free from blame. In
Europe the boarding of money and its
resultant disappearance from circulation
is mainly due to the farmer and peasant
| classes. whose lack of education and alb

them to distrust any form of banking

| tutions.
How France Raised Indemnity.
Striking evidence was furnished of this
popularity at the close of the war of 1870,
when Germany imposed as one of the con-
ditions Of peace the payment by France
OF an indemnity of 4 billion dollars Prince
Bismarck. whose means Of information
were superior to those Of any other states

by some of the most experienced finan-
ciers OF the DAY, such as. for instance.

aGrnxernrds of Gold"

Mahommedan countries have often been
described as the grave yards of gold, -
in the sense that they swallow up the
yellow metal, removing 1t from circula-
ton. This is especially the case in India,
where SO.O0OOOO Moslems constitute the
most prosperous and influential element
OF the population of the empire. There.
as elsewhere, their wealth is represented,
not by bonds and stocks, but by boards
OF the yellow metal. and in less degree OF
Jewels. which constitute merely another
form of currency. sand which their own
ers, holding aloof from banks and finan-
cial institutions. conceal in all sorts OF
strange hiding places, usually under
ground.
During the last forty years the In
ports of gold into India have exceeded
the exports Dy over billion-that is 10
say. a thousand mIlHon-dollars- These
are not only most conservative figures,
but necessarily extremely incomplete. and
it is possible that the real sum is double
or treble that amount No trace Of the
money is to be found in the financial in
stitutions Of India. As pointed out by
Thomas Jefferson Hurley. OF the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers. in his
pamphlet on the gold production of the
world, published some ten years ago.
There is a yellow stream flowing into
India year by year There is no end 10
that stream; il is always flowing. The
money does not reappear in the Indian
banks The soil of India absOrbS the
golden flood. just as the sands of the
desert swallow the overflow Of the great
rivers"

The youth, seeing the soldiers. drop

ran toward the forest. The old men
had thrown away their firearms in or

he sprang to his feet and ran on in

old men once more. Then, facing

The weary old men gradually drew

did not fire.
The soldiers shot him as he knelt

Mr.. McGill caught the bird after some
little effort He discovered that one
Of the robins legs was broken. which
rendered 1t almost helpless.
Taking the redbreast into the house
he washed the bones. applied splints
and carefully bandaged the leg and
kept the robin prisoner. To Mr.. Nc

gether. and a few weeks ago the leg
was found to be as good as ever. The
robin was given its freedom. but in ap-

formed BY Mr.. McGill the robin comes
