in order to be Of sufficient Importance
to merit attention by the State agent
there must be, in the aggregate, a
large quantity of wheat reported We
suggest this plan for determining the

in this vicinity, and If it meets the APP

nothing but the trouble Of sending in

The Governm emit That Much a Gamer
by Paper Money Lost or Destroyed
From the Nelo York Star
There is issued every month from the
treasuary department a great, square sheet
of paper, full of printed figures, compli-
Gated financial terms and dollar marks. It
is called the statement showing the condi-
ton of the national debt of the country
and gives the amount of money on hand,
the various obligations of the government
in the way of bonds and promisory notes,
balanced against each other. By means OF
an arithmetic unsolvable by the layman this
shows the amount of the debt, the size of the
surplus and various other interesting items.
This form of statement was adopted by the
last administration almost Immediately
upon its accession, the old one used by the
preceding United States treasurer being
amended beyond recognition. Treasurer
Huston is now thinking over the matter of
changing the form again, SO as to make the
debt statement show things in a different
light from that which is now cast upon the
financial condition of the country by this
monthly sheet of paper.
SWELLING THE SURPLUS STATEMENT
THE object of the change from the old
IOrul 70 Gne present one, adopted under the
Cleveland administration, he said to-day
to a reporter, ''was TO swell the apparent
size of the surplus. 1t is not fair state
ment to send out, for by the system of book
keeping there carried out there are a good
many things put down as liabilities that
should properly belong on the other side, or
rather could be very materially reduced.
For example, there is an item inserted
every month as liability of several mil
lions of dollars, this being part of one of
the first issues of war notes. Now. it is
known as an absolute fact that millions of
these dollars have been destroyed, torn.
burned, worn out, defaced aud in other
ways made valueess, and it is positively
certain that they
WILL NEVER BE PRESENTED FOR REDEMP-
TON.
Practically speaking they have ceased to
exist and yet they are still carried on the
statement as liabilities that NAV cause n
disbursement Of funds at any time Then.
too, there are fully 100000 of fractional
currency still classed as liabilities, when it
is also an absolute certainty t at they will
never be redeemed. Like the other notes
they have in large quantity been DESTROYED
or Adefaced beyond recognition, and the re-
mainder are in private collections as curl
oSlties and will undoubtedly remain there
/ am confident that at least 515, 900, 900 now
classed in the statement as liabilities might
am thinking very seriously of having the
form changed" And the treasurer se5 to
signing checks OF hundreds of thousands.

A common error is TO suppose that birds
slaen with the head beneath the wing. No
bird ever sleeps so; the head is turned round
and laid upon the back, where it is often
concealed by feathers.
That dogs are kept in health by the addi-
+on OF brimstoue to their drinking water.
SEEING that stone birthstone Is utterly IN
s,lubie In water, fail to perceive what
rss il can possibly be to the dog.
That cows arc fond of buttercups. Cows,

these plants, which, like all the RdHuncutci,
are harsh. astringent, and somewhat poison

;n,nroves the complexion. Dew is distilled
water: but, being merely pure water, it
cannot exercise any special influence on the
sk1n. l am unwilling. however, TO d'spel
ths pleasing illusion, and therefore say:
"By all means, young ladies. wash your
faces in the morning dew, in full belief of
its efficacy. To do so you must rise early
and breathe the pure morning air; this will
benefit your health and no doubt your COM
1levion at the same time" This is undoubt-
edlv the lesson intended to be inculcated.
That A fire is extinguished by the sun
shining on it. The effect in this case is aD-
Darent. not real A fairly good fire looks
little better than heap of white ashes I'M
der TIE powerful light of the suns rays.
That there is economy in putting fro
bricks or clay balls into a fire. Considering
that whatever heat they give out is derived
from the fire itself, and that, being them
selves utterly incombustible, they contrib
ute nothing to the hea. of the fire, there can
be no economy i'll their use. Our method
of using fuel is, however, terribly wasteful;
a large percentage of combustible matter,
as well as heat, goes up the fiue and is
wasted.
That pipes are burst by a sudden thaw
The thaw merely finds out the bursting
that has already been effected by the frost.
1t is the expansion of water when passing
into the icy state that bursts water pipes of
Whatever material.
That the bones are brittle in frosty
weather. No doubt more bones are broken
in winter than IN summer, but this is due to
the slippery state of the roads at that sea-
son, not to speak of accidents on the ice.
and not to any abnormal condition of our
bones.
That "thunderbolts" are tangible realities
that can be handled and preserved as curl
osites. The only thundelbol is the flash of
lightning, often no doubt destruct We, hut

solid bodies that ever fall to the earth

tie put in a bill for half that amount and
said he would call it square if the bill wa
paid as presented. AT the last meeting of
the legislature money should have been
appropriated to pay him. But unex-
pectedly the bill was defeated. There was
no dispute over the Indebtedness, but some
OF the Old legislators were simply opposed
10 paying. The reasons they gave for their
opposition were various and eccentric. One
old fellow, wearing a choker collar and a
1ull suit OF black, said that during the last
campaign he had heard Garla d tell stories
tAat were off color; he did not think that
the state should vote money to a man who
would do such thing
Another man gave as his reason for voting
against the bill that theex-attorney general
pIayed poker and that to pay him the money
would be to encourage vice.
An old man from the farthest back of the
oack counties said he could not bring his
conscience to approve the voting of money
