The world’s product of gold since 1492 is estimated at $10,491,380,000. Of this total $7,954,040,000 was the pro- duct of the nineteenth century.

Raising the Wind. When a certain late: Shah of Persia. became temporarily embarrassed for money he had quite a unique method of filling his purse. He would go to the market, where, after examining the shops, he would select one and, turning to the proprietor, would say: “Will you take me in as a partner in your business for the day?” The offer was, of course, accepted. The Shah would take his seat near the shop en- trance and say to his courtiers, whom he always took with him on these oc- casions: “Now, I'm the salesman. Who'll buy?’ The latter, not daring to refuse the offer 6f the royal mer- chant, set about clearing the shop of its contents, paying sometimes’ two hundred and _ fifty dollars for goods that were not worth fifty dollars. No one was allowed to beat down the prices or to leave the place without making purchases. When everything was sold the Shah had a list of the cost price of each article made out, and loyally shared with the shopkeeper the amount of the profits realized. “Gentlemen,” recently said a German professor who was showing to his stu- dents the patients in the asylum, “this man suffers from delirium tremens. He is a musician. It is well known that blowing a brass instrument affects the lungs and the throat in such a way - as to create a great thirst, which has to be allayed by persistent indulgence in strong drink. Hence, in course of time, the disease you have before you.” ‘urning to the patient, the professor asked, “What instrument do you blow?” and the answer was,— “The violoncello.” The best way wo cure indigestion is to remove its cause.

There is little, any longer, in the dress the case of the working classes in America, to give them a distinctive stamp.

In the fall-winter of 1900 I was afflicted with Sciatic Rheumatism, so much so that I had to use a cane to assist me in walking. Upon sitting down, there was no ease to my thigh, and the only position in whic I could bear my leg was straight out in front of me, while in a reclining position. Realizing the nature of the disease, I began treatment at once, but received no relief until induced by Mr. J. T. Doster, of Greenville, of the drug firm of Bruce & Doster, to take “ RHEUMACIDE.” Doster that if 3 bottles did not cure me the money would be refunded. 1 purchased a bottle from them under the guarantee of Mr. One bottle relieved me, and I have had no touch of rheumatism since that time.
