I11 tho latest governmental report on
tho precious metals tho curious fact is
brought out that the gold and silver of
tho world have a steady tendency to
finally find their way to India, where
there exists a "gold passion" in all classes.
No other wealth is considered distin
guished, and no other satisfies. Tho ex
port of silver to India throughout tho
Eighteenth century is estimated at 2!J,
000,000 marks, and double that for tho
first half of this century. Gold and silver
thus absorbed nro simply hoarded as com
or converted into ornaments. A imtlvo
judgo says: "You can leave everything
clso unprotected; oven tho most valuable
things in e never stolen. Tho only thing
that tho Hindoos (esjiecially tho women)
valuo is gold, Gold coins aro not in cir
culation, lieing used chiefly at weddings
and other festivals as presents." In civil
ized countries tho hecrcting of coin has
nearly ceased, whllo tho uso of tho pre
cious metals in tho arts has greatly in
creased. GIoIhj Democrat.
Trout Caught III Asia.

Ceylon, Jan. 21, is said to bo the first
angled, not only in Ceylon, but in nil
Asia. Somo time ago a public subscrip
tion was inised in tho colony for tho pur
iiose of obtaining ova from England;
j and, with a view to ascertaining whether
tho llsli were still alive, tho Nurwara
Eliyn plain was fished, with the result
hero staled. Tho fly used was a Loch
Levcn one, red Ixxly with teal wing. Tho
trout was nino inches long. It is pro
posed now to pass a bylaw forbidding
fishing for another year, by which time,
it is liojicd, tho fish will liavo become ac
climatized in tho new waters. Uoston

There is a religious revival among tho
prisoners confined in tJio nirminghain
(Ala.) jail which owes its existence- to tho
superstition of the converts. Tho jail Is
filled with criminals of the worst class,
brought hero by tho wonderful stories
which havo gone out concerning the
place. On the 22tl of last l)ocouilxr
Gioigo Williams, who had murdered 11
fellow convict, was executed in tho jail
yard, and tho gallows, with tho roix
hanging in the air, was left standing for
future use. Tho prisoners, 150 in mini
Iter, crowded to their cell gratings to wit
ness tho final plunge of their friend
George. A few nights later twoor three
inmates hupiioncil to Is) looking out nt
the midnight moon and were honilletl to
see Georgo again ascend the xcatrold, ad
just the roo to I1I1 neck and fall through
tho trap with leallstio elTivl. Tho
prisoners told their story as hooii as they
recovered from their fright, and tho next
night others witnessed tho n'ntltioii of
the dieadful spectacle. Since that time
tho ghost has lieen a nightly visitor, to tho
tenor of the inmates, who havo gone to
psalm singing and praying. Tho jail
olllelals ate not very anxious to disabuso
tho minds of tho licliovcrs In tho ghoot,
as it has tho elTeel of making them more
peaceful. St. lxmis Glolnj-Deinoonit.

Several months ago tho Piince of
Wales was surptised hy receiving1 from
tho village of Hrookline, Mass., a superb
clock. It was a most beautiful piece of
workmanship, and it now adorns one of
the rooms at Mai thorough house. This
present came from an anonymous Amer
ican admirer. When the clock was re
ceived at Marlborough house, in the pack
age was also a letter, which said that the
gift was a "humble token of gratitude
for tho prince's kindness and courtesy in
picking up tho cano of 11 cripple." Tho
prineo has lieen very much exercised
over this peculiar piesent and epistle,
llohas vainly sought to recall to mind
such an act as is dcscrilicd in the letter.
Durine the iubllee ear there wore- a
1 great many public ceremonials, and ho
faintly recalls passing through a lino of
spectators at one of tho ceremonials last
spring and noticing a lame gentleman
who, in his embarrassment in attempting
to get out of the way of the prince,
dropped his cane. Of course, tho natural
thing for him was to pick it up, restore
it to its owner and pass on. Tho prineo
has vainly sought to ilnd out the uaiueof
tho giver of the present, so that ho might
suitably acknowledge it. The Argonaut.

I visited this village becauso I under
stood that I could see there tho lino of
destruction of the cuithqttnko and would
find yet undisturbed tho ruins left in its
track. 1 found upon teaching this village
that the iiuiuIht of people who lost their
lives 111 tho church was not !I00. but just
three. There were four people in tho
church slightly injured. Tho -100 who
were said to havo leon killed hy tho
earthquake, I found Uiou actual examina
tion to dwindle down to fifty-four.
Port y-f our others were wounded and in
jured. This is tho first time that tho
exact figures of the actual loss of lifo in
litis town have ever lieen obtained for
any newspaper. It is still a largo enough
number when tho Rinalluess of the town
is considered. After visiting tho plnco
and going over it carefully it seems a
wonder that any 0110 escaped. It was
the one town in tho Iiivieia that was
made a complete wreck. It is at present
unoccupied save in a few corners. Tho
inhabitants aro living outside in pino
barracks constructed for them by tliD

A few years ago John M. Dowling
built for his own uso a handsome three
story nnd basement residence. Winning
a $10,000 bet on the presidential election,
hr put it into a barn, for which ho hns
little uso save as a monument to his good
judgment. Ho then set alxjut filling
his house with everything that money
could purchase in tho way of furniture
mid tho latest appliances for utilitarian
and sanitary purposes, and had just set
tlod down to enjoy lifo when ono day
the servant girl icoi't'd a rat in tho
basement, Tho plumber was sent for
and given orders to stop up the rat holo
without icgard to expense. Ho did so,
and yesterday handed in his lull. It
called for $l,:i:)o,.:!5. Ho had found it
necessary to completely overhaul and
change tho sewerage and drainage sys
tem of the piemises to keep out that rat.

Tho quizzing glass is the nowest whim
of tho promenade. Thcso articles, which
are simply a pair of magnifying oyo
glasses attached to a long handle, havo
for a year or two been in use nt tho
theatre instead of tho ordinary ojiera
glasses. Their first valuable quality in
tho eyes of belles was utility, for their
long handles enabled ono to hold tho
lenses to the eo without raising tho arms
high enough to burst a seam of a tight
corsago or to tiro dainty muscles. Hut
ornamentation unco set in, and now tho
handles aro often inado very valuable by
means of carved ivory, shell or jiearl, or

Now Method of YVolghlng,
A novel scale has been invented, In
stead of weighing in pounds and ounces
it indicates tho valuo of articles weighed.
For example, if a man buys butter at
tliirty cents a jMountls, nn iudicater is
placed at thirty. This so adjusts tho
scale that tho lower indicator shows tho
valuo of any weight of butter nt that
prico thnt is jnit on tho scales. Tito ma
