The London Time?, in an article treat
ing of the recent marked revival of
trade in the United States and the
drain of gold from Europe that attend
ed it, makes Borne very interesting as
sertions about the future value of gold
which are not without a bearing on the
mooey question in this country. It
uya:
The annual gold production of the
United StateB themBelves, about six mil
lions sterling, should also be sufficient
on the average for very considerable de
mands. But making all allowances,
the United States current requirements
for bullion must henceforth at all times
affect our money market greatly, eveh
if they go no further than the absorp
tion in America itself of its annual
gold production. We must bo prepared
then, in the next year or two, especially
if Germany shuuld adhere to its gold
standard, for much higher rates for
money on tho average than those wffieh
prevailed during the last period of good
trade. The extraordinary demands for
gold on German account were certainly
very heavy ; but they came upon full
markets, while the annual supply from
the mines was greater by several mil
lions a year than it is now, and neither
Germany nor tho United States were
then gold using countries. There may
bo some compensation for all this strain
upon gold in France being obliged to
part with its Btock of that metal, under
the influence of what remains of its bi
metallic law; but we doubt if it would
be prudent to rely upou France permit
ting this, while the strain would bo ee
riously increased, of course, by any
special effort on the part of Franco to
recover the stock of gold it has lost. Tho
chances seem all to be, then, that gold
mthe next few years will be in scarce
supply for all the current demands
upen it, and that money will conse-
Wfly he dear in countries which use
gold for their standard. Trade may be
very good, of course, with dear money,
h it was in ISO I and 1865; but the con-
loons in its favor will not bo quite the
fame as when money is cheap.
He Got Even.
The story of the man who’cured the
persistent juvenile apple thief by watch-
ng his best tree, and then quietly sta
tioning a cast iron dog under it to keep
him at his roost till daylight should
discover the cheat, is an old one and
has become common property. Tno se
quel, however, is not so well known.
That boy crawled down as the sun
cliwed up, sneaked home, was duly
spanked and sent to bed; but he did not
sleep. He thirsted for vengeance, and
he determined to have it. A few weeks
afterward a neighbor's dog died, and he
got the Bkin, which he carefully stuffed,
filling up ita eyes with boxwood, a sub
stance that shines in the dark. This
he stowed away and waited.
On the outskirts of the apple man’s
farm was quite a forest, in whose depths
lived an old eat, greedy and dangerous,
as the farmer knew to his cost. In a
convenient corner he kept a loaded gun,
and his vigilance in the case of this
wildcat was something eternal. One
night he discovered a pair of flashing
eyes up a tree, and with his gun and
sundry reinforcetnencs in the shape of
his hired help, he was soon carrying on
a lively war. Although he fired a dozen
times, and swore he hit the varmit every
time, the creature never budged, did
not even offer to spring, and though
there was no doubt ho was dead, no
body dared climb up and investigate
the savage thing. So, until daylight
they skirmished around that tree, and
then finally discovered the securely
fastened carcass of that stuffed dog,
which no poking with poles had been
able to dislodge; and far over the fence
they heard a boyish yell, and saw a
lively pair of heelR fading in the dis
tance.

The salutation of the Chinese, “Have
you eaten your rice?” requires no com
ment. Their greetings are ueually, how
ever, roost elaborate, and wurtby of
that paradise of competitive examina
tion, embodied unnaturalness, and ab
solute rubserviency to the powers that
be. Their set phrases and postures are
rigorously prescribed by an Academy
of Compliments, the exact number of
speeches and obcsiances being calcu
lated with the strictest accuracy. One
gesture is as follows: Tha saluting per
son clasps his hands together, holds
them out, shakes them gently, bends
forward, and says, “Chin, chin,” that is
to say, “Please, please,” which is equiv
alent to “Thank you,” and also to
“Good-bye.” and iB used for both ave
and vale. The national primness comes
out in all this elaboration; tho nntionol
humoleness also appears in the rules—
observdd likewise in over-governed Ja
pan and Siam.
Koep the Body Erect-
Au erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more importance to health than people
generally imagine. Crooked bodily po
sitions, maintained for any length of
time, are always injurious, whether in
the sitting, standing or lying posture,
whether sleeping or walking. To sit
with the body leaning forward on the
stomach, or to one side, with the heels
elevated on a level with tho head, is noc
only in bad taste, but exceedingly det
rimental to health. It cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs, and
in fact unbalances the whole muscular
system. Many children become Blightly
humpbacked, or severely round-shoul
dered, bv sleeping with the head raised
on a high pillow. When any person
finds it easier to sit, or walk, or sleep in
a crooked position than a straight one,
such person may be sure his muscular
system is badly deranged, aod the more
careful he is to preserve a straight or
upright position, and get back to nature
again, the better.
and mode of treatment and succeeds lu curing

of itself medicinally and at the same time the
tnoat delightfully fragrant and refreshing To'let,

Messrs. Weeks A Potter: Oontlemon—Pieaie

very great comfort 1 have roceivcd ftoro the uie
of your Cuticura.
For the past eight or nine years I have boon
troubled with that dreadful disease, Bait Rheum.
For months I would bo help osi—my very life
would bo a burden to me.
I havo used everything in the ahepo of modi*
cine, both external and inte*sal, but with no ef
fect.
My hands wore in a terrible oondiiion, the
backs of them being raw, and I thought I would
try Cuticura.
I tried it, and lo! it was as if a miracle had
been performed, lor 1 will take my oath’ that in
three applications my hands were ai smooth as
new-born babe’s.
I presume thoro are hundreds, if not thousands
who know of my o&se, ttnong whom there may
be some one similarly afflicted, and if so I would
earnestly advise him to give Cuticura a trial,

and cooking their supper. They were

the United States mails. Soon afur
they had gone, some men arrived to aid
the stago passengers, and rode on horse

and fifty miles, finally overtaking and
capturing two of the highwaymen, and
bringing them back prisoners.
