While the British laborer receives
about twice as much as the French
artisan and always has a. cheaper mar
eket in which to buy whatever he needs,
and while the American laborer often
receives three times as much as his

honest municipal governments, may
help to explain the miracle as to how
a nation relatively devoid of resources
has amassed such an amazing total of
the worlds wealth as compared with
the similar holdings of our own coun-

account for part Of the contrast be-

high wages and save little. and French
workers who receive scanty compen-

MONOPOLY OF GOLD.

According to statistics just pub
lished by a Partisan contemporary,
France, indeed. is the happy possess
or Of one-third of all the gold COM
age in circulation throughout the
world. The writer explains that
this happens in various ways. in the
first place, the people are thrifty,
save and invest money and insist
on the fragment Of the interest in
gold. Then every year crowds of
foreigners come TO France. spend
some time at hotels and make pur-
chases, paving mostly in gold. Ex-
ports. again, bring in large sums,
so that France literally scores all
round. Here are some eloquent
figures about the reserve Of gold IN
the Bank of France. In 1900 it
amounted to 2.331.000. goo francs
Last year it reached 100000, 900
francs. while at the end of August
in this year it had attained the
figure of 2,S06. 100000 francs, or
about $3.50. 100000.

be productive of nausea. Grief such
as comes from bereavement may pro-

hate or terror would have like effect
While the brain does the thinking,
Prof. Guyot opines that it does not

Of the brain. is the intellectual, but
not the emotional center. The brain
represents the intelligence The
spinal cord and the cerebellum, the
latter the little brain not yet well UNI
