noAnD OF TRADE REMOVAL.
Nothing has been done about the proposed
removal of the Board Of Trade. The PERSONS
interested hare not yet been able TO agree
upon the reciprocal sacrifices to which they
could submit for the widening Of Sherman
street and Pacific avenue. Inc rail-
road company, the properts-oWners, and
the Board of Trade Unite In
asking the Tracy estate to widen Sherman
street, Which is on the west side Of the prop
erty, from sixty to seventy-ri,ree feet, BY
cutting of Ut the property to be sold strip
thirteen feet wide; to widen Pacific avenue
on the east from forty to slxty-sWo feet by
cutting off twenty-five feet on the east side
OF the property, and to sell to the Board of
Trade the land lying between these streets to
a depth of 20 feet south from jackson, in
stead OF 200 feet, according to the first propo-
sition, The Tracy estate have not yet been
persuaded to consent to this. Meanwhile
the conviction grows that the Board OF Trade
will stay where they are, ind by the alterations
which can easily be made, tlnd all me room
they need i'll the present building and the one
adjoining it on the south. 4 fact of possibly
vast Importance known to few Is TINT the
Chamber of Commerce own q mitch more
valuable Board of Trade charter than that
under which the Board is itself now run.
For instance, the Chamber OF Commerce
charter permits 1t to own an unlimited
amount of real estate. Ihe Board Of
Trade cannot own any ,,o't real estate ;s,;1t:
the Chamber Of Commerce, if left with a fine
Board-of-Trade hall on its hands. might find
q charter which permits it to run Board Of
Trade Of its own.

How the Goyerpment Paws Bills.

A great part of the work in the de-
partment is necessarily In the line of
keeping accounts, and presents little in
terest to people who are not exceptional
ly fond of figuring. Ug8
The general principle which governs
the whole system of auditing and set
ting accounts against the Government
is to provide every safeguard against
fraud, and this is SO successfully accom-
plished that O dollar could not be got
out o. the treasury illegitimately with ut
the collision of so many persons that 1t
may be set down as practical impos-
sibility.
Suppose a man has bill against the
Government. The head of the depart
ment or bureau to which the matter
properly belongs makes a requisition for
the amount upon the Secretary of the
Treasury, using prepared blank which
asks him to cause a warrant for the
amount In question to be issued In favor
of the party, the same to be charged to
the neutrality-suspicious. by Congress
out Of which the sum ought to come.
But before this requisition reaches
the Secretary il must pass under the eye
of the proper Auditor and Comptroller
and receive their countersign, the Audi
tor at the same time charging the
amount to the account of the disbursing
officer in whose favor it is issued. If
all goes well so far, the Secretary issues
n warrant to the Treasurer, directing
him to pay over the money, which he
does by issuing a draft for the amount in
favor of the Governments creditor, but
not until after the warrant has [ zen
countersigned 10y the proper Comptroller
and registered by the Register. Indeed,
the draft itself must go the Register for
comparison and registry before 1t is
finally passed over. There seems to be
"a good deal Of red tape in all this pro-
cess. but it is q sort of red tape that
saves the country money IN the long
run.-Good Company.

Ears.

Largo ears can hear things in general,
and denote broad, comprehensive views
and modes Of thought, while small ears
hear things in particular, showing dis
position to individualize, often accom-
panied by love of the minute. Large
ears are usually satisfied with learning
the facts of case, with the general
principles involved-too strict an atten-
ton to the enumeration of details, es-
pecially all repetition of the more unim-
portant, is wearisome to them. People
with such ears like generally, and are
usually well fitted, to conduct large en-
terprises, TO receive and pay out large
sums; in buying or selling would prefer
10 leave margin rather tnan reduce the
quantity of any sort to the exact dimen-
sions OF the measure specified, and in
giving would prefer to give with q free
hand and without too strict a calculation
as TO the exact amount. Small ears, on
the contrary, desire to know the particu-
lars of story as well as the main facts !;
take delight often in examining, hand
ling on constructing tiny specimens of
workmanship are disposed to be exact
with respect to inches and ounces in
buying or selling-to the extent, at
least, OF knowing tho exact number over
or under the stated measure given or re-
ceived. People with such ears would,
in most cases, prefer a retail to whole
sale business. chronological journal

What Is n Yacht Z

inquired of long, gaunt colder who
was lounging about the wharf, and we
pointed to a small steam vessel coming
in. mo-" was the reply. 'Is that a
yacht?" we inquired again, pointing to
another sort of craft that we thought
might be yacht. ''No, that amt no
yot, nuther," was the answer. well,
what is yacht?" was our next inquiry.
whats yot?" said the fisherman,
Well, you gets any sort of craft you
please, and fill her up with liquor
aud seeg-yars and git yer frens on board
and have yell of time--and that's a
yot!' We thanked him with fervor, for
we had long been trying to find out what
a yacht really was.

Rugs.


Now that it is the fashion to dispense
with carpets and the use of rugs substi-
tuted, the following homemade ones
might be found useful in a small bed
chamber, instead of the Persian and
other expensive bought kinds. OF
course the floor should be painted, oiled,
or have mating. For room that is
used simply to sleep in, nothing can be
nicer, as they can be taken up and
shaken without any trouble, and one
can breathe without feeling that they
are inhaling dust from carpets at every
inspiration.
Very handsome rugs can be made of
burlap canvas at small cost. The piece
of canvas must be fastened to stout
frame of the desired size for the rug, and
then narrow strips of red, green and
gray flannel can be "drawn IN, in any
pattern desired. The border should be
of solid color-gray is the prettiest, and
is neat finish. Loops must be left on
the surface and the whole carefully
trimmed off when the pattern Is COM
plete.
If one wishes to have more expens-
i've rug and purchase the material, Turk
ish toweling will be found capable of
great ornamentation. Pieces of cloth or
velvet can be cut into leaves from Gre
tonne and stitched on. 1t is not best TO
cut each leaf separately, for the effect is
better if large cluster is laid on, and
veins made in the leaves of bright, heavy
silk. ~ es,i.a
A cheap, common table cover ingen-

canton flannel aud cutting the cloth
large enough to cover the table and
form deep drapery. Then procure
some red velveteen or canton flannel,
and cut out the leaves of rose or other
flower, place them in shape around the
edge and overcast the edges with silk.
The stem or foliage may be cut of some
green velveteen similarly treated, and
then the veins and hearts may be worked
with light crewels.
