A HANDSOME German girl, fresh from
Rhineland, was up before New Jersey
justice on a charge of desertion.
Through an interpreter she said she
didn't know she was married, the old
Dutchman claiming her, having told her
that was the way servants were hired in
this country. The learned justice said
it made no difference what size thought;
she was married anyhow, and must
obey her husband. She at once de-
clared she would return to Germany,
where no fellow could marry her
without her knowing something about
it.

THE average cost of collecting the
tariff revenues for the last fiscal year
was little over two cents and nine
mills. In twenty-nine of the 100 dis
tricts the cost of collection is more
than dollar for dollar. while in thirty of
them, including many Of the larger ports,
the cost is under ten cents. The receipts
in New York were s147 ,901 1873, and it
cost one cent and eight mills on the
dollar for collection. Boston comes next
to New York in receipts to the value of
1913, 475, 40, at rate of two cents and
eight mills on the dollar, while Phiia-
delphia and San Francisco are next in
order, rising s12, 100000 and 10000
600 respectfully, at rates OF three cents
and four mills and three cents and eight

that the Secretary of the Treasury will

ton of improbable districts, but the

THE Omaha Bee claims that the eli
mate of the plains in Western Nebraska
is changing rapidly and becoming more
and more rainy as cultivation of the soil
increases. As cornstaIks are much
taller and more shrub-like than prairie
grass, the advocates of forest culture as
i means of increasing the rainfall of a
country, will probably declare that the
views are supported by this reported
change from dry to wet on the plains of
the far West-Cleveland Leader.

REQUIsITIONs upon the post Office
department by post masters for the new
two-cent stamp is so large that con-
tractors are unable to meet the demand
and the department consequently is re-
ducing the amounts called for in the
requisition. Contractors at the present
are able to furnish one and half million
stamps daily, but this is much less than
the number demanded during the early
part of the present month. The de-
partment has distributed a very large
number uf old two-cent stamps among
many of smaller Offices, yet it is
believed that with the utmost exertion
of the department., fully one-third of the

an adequate supply of stamps upon the
date when the law providing for the
