The remainder is is the prin-
epal sum of the debt
proper at this time and
embraces the whole of the
interest-bearing debt, viz: 30, 4S9, 326.3S
The amount of interest in
being SO much month"; I +
tercst bearing debt--is...- $3.50, 034.35
Consequently the grand to-
tai OF the public debt
both interest bearing and
non interest BEARINGS, 1913, 900, 1905
1t must be borne in mind that among other
resources for the reduction OF the debt, the
State retains large interests in various cor
porations, OF Which some have certain and
some contingent value, while others are
worthless. In the first class are the amounts
due by the Richmond and DanVille Railroad
Company on account Of q loan secured by
mortgage, and by the RichmQad, Frederick
burg and Potomac Railroad Company, In
stock. The amount Of principal and inter-
est lac OF. the first named claim, as reported
by the auditor Of public accoqnts.is 1856, $780,
Al. The amount OF stock held by the State
in the last named company Is S275,000. Es-
timating the stock according to the lowest
price which it is understood to have conn
manded in the market, and aggregating the
present value of these two claims, il the
available proceeds thereof were realized and
used in retiring our coupon bonds of the sec.
ond class, at their present market value, the
grand total OF the public debt, including
principal and interest would be reduced to
S29, 922, 942. so.
The public debt, which is here carefully
stated, is Virginia's full portion of what was
or hy ha riuin nj toto of =, H.
fore its dislnemberment, but before the war
began. Not q dollar of it has been contract
ed since the beginning Of the war, nor has it
undergone any Increase whatever except
from the accumulation of interest arrears.
Considering that since the funding ac
took effect, the debt has borne interest to the
amount of $500, 237.07, and that we have so
fat met and kept down the accrueing inter-
est that the entire outstanding debt to-day is
only $l,52l, 4l4.24 larger than It was five
years ago, when newly resumed under chat
act: and remembering that these results have
been accomplished in q period OF depression
and embarrassment such as Il State rarely
ever had TO endure; we have every reason to
take heart and resolutely go forward to the
task of restoring the public credit complete
I ly at once. The Indebtedness Of the State is
less than one tenth OF its assessed values
which are being slowly but steadily increas
ed b. the energy Of the people, With an
shrinking and reasonable preparations now,
the State will henceforth carry its debt with
. financial strength which will render the
burden lighter with each succeeding year.
THE FUTURE OF THE FUNDING ACT.

facts of the funding act or It's inevitable ia.

A TERRIBLE COUGH!

How often we hear the above re-
mark during these extreme changes OF
weather, Colds, Coughs and Sore Threats
were never more prevalent among children
than now. Now we are going to urge you to
try remedy which has excited comments
by physicians all over the country, who &C.
knowledge their surprise at the wonderful
and happy results from its use. That remedy
COUGH CORDIAL. Your own druggist will
tell you that it is the best cough medicine
they ever sold and will warrant cure or
return your money to you in case of failure
after using one-halt the bottle. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste, making it a very de-
sirable remedy for children.

pnt them into eight American hives.

my number of stocks TO ten. They
all went through the winter safely.
| Italianized five Of them for the sake
of experiment. When my Italians
commenced swarmiug they did not
know when to quit. have now
twenty-six stands of bees, seven Of
which are black and nineteen are
Italians. This shows the difference
between the two races, as both had
precisely the Same chance.

Something About Cream.

There is new discovery in the
science of setting milk for cream,
which bids fair to eclipse everything
yet invented for bringing cream to the
surface in the least possible time,
thereby preventing the loss caused by
the variation Of temperature and the
time required to raise the cream, as
well as storage and labor. The plan
looks very feasible, but has yet to be
proved practicable. 1t is this F.: strain
the milk into cans leaving some space
in the top, then fit on covers air Sight
and pump the air all out of the top of
the can over the milk with an air
pump; this will cause a powerful sue
ton through the milk, and aid greatly
in bringing the globules Of cream to
the surface.

hogs Preserved by Sllicate of Soda.

DR.. Durand, pharmacist of Blois,
has discovered very efficient means
for the preservation of eggs. e., a
solution of silicate of soda. This solu-
ton, being very viscious, is kept in a
liquid state by the addition of tepid
water. The eggs are dipped into the
solution and then dried. When they
have been thus treated, and are we'll
dried, and completely covered with
the silicate solution, they can be
placed in any receptacle, and be kept
for year or more without decomposi-
ton.

Steinway's Victory and Laurels.

The following official report of the
Judges Of Awards, accompanying the Medal,
shows conclusively that the highest honors
in the gift of the Centennial authorities were
unanimously awarded to STENwAy 4 Sous,
viz: "For greatest concert capacity in Grand
pianos, as also highest degree OF excellence
in all their styles of pianos, viz: largest VOL
ume, purity and duration OF tone, and extra
ordinary carrying capacity with precision and
durability OF mechanism also, novel DISPOSE
ten Of the strings and constructions and brac-
ing of the metal frame"
The report then infinitely describes and
emphatically endorses the six principal pat
ented Improvements which have made the
Steinway
THE STANDARD PIANOS OF THE WORLD.
Referring to Steinway's exhibits in Ma
chinery Hall of samples of hardware, metal
frames and patent tubular actions, the report
further states:
"These articles of composite metal show
the highest perfection of finish and workman
ship and the greatest frmness and uniformity
OF metal structure, a steel-like and sounding
quality with tensile strength exceeding
5000 lbs. per square centimetre, as demon
strated by actual tests. The full metal frames
of cupola shape, possess an unequalled de-
gree of resistance, permitting a vastly in
creased tension of strings without the slight
est danger OF break or crack in said metal
frames, thereby considerably increasing the
vibratory power, and augmentlng the lasting
qualities OF their Instruments"

The best buyers of wool do not like
wool to be got up III square packages
and tied around twice or three times
each way with strong Irvine. They
prefer the 1eeces to be rolled up neat
~ and left as loose as possible SO that
each fleece Will be as springy and light
and elastic to the hand, not solid, hard,
square, compact masses i'll which the
wool is pressed together till the fleece
feels like a brick. The one Irvine tied
across to keep the rolled up fleece in
its place and two twine8 the other
way.
Wool brought into market in that
shape sells better in the eastern mar
ket, AID buyers can afford to give
more for it per pound. because they
will get cent more Il pound for 1t.
The tables and box arrangements, they
contend, may be CONVENE mt for the
farmer, and are probably handy to use,
but they put the wool in such pack
ages that the dealers regard them with
suspicion, and invariably from their
solidity and hardness, gather the idea
that the wool is not we'll washed. that
it is oily, or that it is moist. Besides,
the examination Of it is rendered So
laborious that this work is costly.
The box and table arrangements
make such neat, square bundles of the
ieeces that it is becoming the general
practice, but it is not one that is pre-
ferred by the purchasers, and it does
not enhance prices.

4 Female Smuggler.

New York Herald, Oct. II.
About month ago a man namet
Daniel Goldschmidt arrived at this
port from Germany on board of the
steamship Oder, having in his posses
sion considerable baggage, which, in
connection with some circumstances
occurring on the voyage, aroused the
suspicion of the CustOm.House au-
thorities, and the baggage was seized
and placed in the public stores, where
it is now awaiting thorough examina-
ton. The baggage has been claimed
several times since, but kept back for
further developments, which have
come with more than anticipated eX-
pectation.
On the 10Th instant the steamer
Abyssinia arrived at Jersey City.
While in quarantine, Gen. Nichols,
Deputy Surveyor, Mr.. William V. Leg
gett, one Of his aids, and number of
other inspectors, made an examination
Of the passenger list, which revealed
the fact that Mrs. Daniel Goldschmidt
was one of the number. On prior in
formation received, sharp lookout
was kept on the lady, and as soon as
the steamer was mOored to the dock,
Mrs. Margaret C. Steele, one of the
oldest of the Custom-House inspec-
tresses, was directed to take charge Of
Mrs. Goldschmidt and her companions.
In making the usual declaration re-
quired to be filed to the Deputy Sur
veyor and his aids, and sworn to by
the passengers, Mrs. Goldschmidt de-
posed that she had nothing dutiable
among her effects. She was taken into
the cabin, and Mrs. Steele. having her
suspicion aroused by the plump ap-
pearance of the lady, at once surmiSed
that the filling out Of the bust was any
thing but natural. On disrobing the
lady passenger Mrs. Steele found two
protuberances of a dubious form COW
ering her breast. which contained, in
the cotton padding, the following
schedule of yaluables, estimated to be
worth at least $4,000: Ten coral
bands, one pair gold earrings, one gold
pin, one pair enameled earrings, one
pair pearl erameled earrings, seven
pairs of diamond studs, one diamond
stud, eight pairs Of pearl studs, three
coral studs, one pair diamond earrings,
two pearl crosses, one watch ring, one
diamond breaStpin, one pearl breast
pin, three small pieces of jewelry,
twenty-five coral beads, twelve gold
clasps, one gold watch, chain and pen
ell attached; one open-faced lady's
watch, one hunting case lady's watch,
one pearl amethyst pin, one cluster d.
almond ring, one gold chain and piece
OF chain. one diamond brooch, one di-
amond pin, with solitaire pearl; one
cameo pearl and diamond pin, one
perl, diamond. and stone brooch, one
diamond and pearl brooch. one dia-
mond cross, worth about $500; one
diamond pin, with pearl pendant and
centre, valued at ST 900.

FARM AND GARDEN.

A New Industry, that of drying eggs.
has been set on foot as Passan, on the
Danube, and the Prussian military
authorities are about to give the pro-
ductiOn trial for soldiers ratiOns.
The London News says several German
chemists are very sanguine as to the
success of the experiment. and they
pronounce dried eggs to have lost none
of their valuable properties by the
gradual evaporation of the water cou-
tanned by them in the original state.
Egg Matching by Electricity.-Dr.
Nersor, superintendent of the Italian
experimental silk farm it Padua, has
discovered that the Matching OF SILK
worm eggs of suitable age may he accei-
Grated by period of ten to twelve
days, and yield of at least forty per
cent. of silk worm caterpillars secured
by exposing the eggs to current Oh
negative electricity from Holtz ma
chine for space of eight or ten MN
utes. 1t is suggested that the same
method might prove useful IN promot-
ing the hatchingEof hens'eggs' and in
fastening the termination Of various
seeds.
