Of the $10,000,000,000 worth of gold produced inthe world since the discovéry of America, more than one-half has been produved since 1860 and more than one-fourth since 1885. These facts:regarding the gold production of the world are presented by compiletions of the treasury bureau of statistics anent the temporary suspension of gold mining in South Africa and its possible effects upon the gold -supply of the world. The compilation when summarized shows that the total of gold production from 1498 to, and including the estimate for 1899, amounts . :, to $9,833,059,600. During the 368 years from. 1493 to . and including 1860 the average annual product was $12,203,087, and during the period of 1861-1899 ‘the average annual production was $136/945,015, or more than ten times the average of the earlier period. Coming down to still later years, the period of 1891-1899 shows an average of $204,773,555 per annum, and the single year of 1899, by conservative estimates, $325,000,000. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local, applications as they. cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when itis entirely. closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the jnflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Cattarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

In the early days of Nevada county there was considerable business transacted in the Justice courts. In the criminal prosecutions. for minor offeuses, the District Attorney seldom appeared, and the conduct of the proceedings was generally left to the sound judgment and discretion of the . Justice. In one of the townships of the county a certain old gentleman, carpenter, blacksmith and general repairer of the village;and whose honesty and integrity never could be questioned, was elected to the position of Justice of the Peace. Coming from outside the ranks of the legal profession, and having'just taken_his seat, he was rather unfamiliar with court-room _ procedure, but he had a vague notion as to some: few principles of parliamentary law. tried before him without a jury. The defendant having, from his arrest, been more scared than hurt, hired an attorney to defend him. After. the testimony had all been given, the counsel for the defendant let loose a great amount of lurid oratory in endeavoring to show that there was no case ster his client, and said: “I move, your honor, that the defendant be discharged.” : There was no prosecuting attorney, and when the defendant’s counsel took his seat there was profound silence in the audience for a moment, all waiting for the next step. The Justice seemed puzzled and 1l»oked inquiringly abou, the room. The silence continued. At last he asked: “Do I hear any'second to the motion?” Some one in the audience shouted “second the motion.” This seemed to relieve the Justice who forthwith put the question: “All in favor of the motion will please say aye.” Instantly the whole gang, who, by the way, were in sympathy with the defendant, yelled.“Aye.” “Those opposed, say no; ” continued the Justice, and there was only one “No,” it coming from the prosecuting . . witness, the man who had been “battered.” The Justice then declared the motion carried, and discharged the prisoner, to the delight of the gang who thought that full justice had been done.
