Fresh Paper Money in Russia.

Fresh Paper Money in Russia.
A very important financial measu re
has Just been made publ C In St. Pet
ersburg consisting of an imperial
ukase, dated July 20 last, granting
power to the minister Of finance to
issue fresh paper money through the
state bank whenever it is actually
necessary to increase the rculating
medium, and in virtue of this decree
an order of the minister of finance is
announced for the issue of Is. 600, 00
more of paper rubles upon the guar
antee of the same amount of gold at
nominal value, to be delivered from
the funds of the treasury into the
Golfers of the imperial bank. The
reason for this measure is the want of
sufficient circulating currency, caused
by the enormous and unprecedented
grain export business Of this year and
the consequent unusual drain upon the
resources of the state bank. The new
paper issue is altogether temporary
one. guaranteed by its actual metallic
equivalent to be conveyed to the bank
by the treasury in the presence of the
usual official and commercial delegates,
and it is to be destroyed gradually rs
the necessity for it disappears. The
gold guarantee is also to be returned
to the treasury as the paper is with

st. Helena's Want of Leaky
Ships.

According to the Blue Book for St.
Helena for the past year the colony
suffers sadly from the absence of leaky
ships, which formerly often visited the
isles for repairs. The revenue was
only Is, 043. while the expenditure was
ELL $685. The smalness of the former
was due entirely to the falling off in
the customs takings because no leaky
ships arrived during 1887. and also
because of the distress caused by an
epidemic of measles and consequent
diminution in the consumption of i'm
ports. Notwithstanding its excellent
climate and productive soil. business in
the colony has been exceedingly de-
pressed. because-Q) the Suez Canal
has diverted large portion of the
trade; (2) steamers are taking the
place OF sailing vessels; (3) ship owners
are aiming at very great economy on
account of the low freightS and the
enormous development of the trade III
timed provisions has rendered ships
more or less independent of ports oil
call; a. recent leg station has elimina-
ted defective ships and has thus de-
prived the colony of much of the har>
vest CLEANED from vessels in distress.
The population is estimated at D 2OO;
| the imports amounted to 446. S56. ana
the exports to Els. 1853 for whaleboue
and oil transhipped at the island. Only
shree serious crimes wore comm tteu
Turing the year. and In two OF these
the criminals remain undecided. NO
lightning has occurred on the island
since 1878 and storms are unknown =

Germany has obtained divorce from
his wife because she did not know how

to wed among the German nobility had

The American Minister at Berlin
should at once look into this matter.
The practice of cooking American girls
must be dangerous, unpleasant and in
many cases-as when they are boiled,
for instance-fatal. We always did
wonder what become of all the girls

GRANT ALLEN. the writer, has ex.
pressed the belief that green was the
primitive color that yellow was then
introduced. followed by red and finally
b. blue, but he has not mentioned
why the first color was green or why
1t ever gave place to red or blue. Rev.
George Henslow has advanced the
theory that colors are the result of
nutrition. and that the different varie-
ties OF color are produced by the visits
of insects which have caused more

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-22
HOUSEHOLD.

Not long since there was republished in
The GAZETTE an article that had been in
spired by paragraph in which comment
was made upon the salary Vanderbilt
paid his cook. While it would seem, at
first blush, strange that it should be any
body s business what q man pays his EN-
ploye, nom ent s thought will reveal q
reason for selecting a cook s salary as the
subject of comment.
That a laborer is worthy OF his hire
does not in the minds OF the majority ap-
ply to Kitchen labor, neither is the hon
orableness asserted to belong to all labor
supposed to refer to one who labors in
the laboratory of food supply.
This writer very properly said that it
was better to spend money in the market
and pay the cook than
on physicians If money is
to bring comfort and luxury where can
it be better applied than in the commits
sary department of the home, and what
art or artist is more deserving of honor
than is the one who ministers by proper
means to the health. and thereby to the
happiness of the members of family?
Epicureanism, like all all gospels, has
in it an element of truth, the good the
gods provide man has a right to enjoy,
which does not mean abuse, and there is
neither good philosophy nor sound chris
tianity in contenting oneself, granting
that were possible in food badly prepared
and carelessly served. By a wise pro-
vision of nature, taste repels the disgust
ing, and the eye as well as the palate ere
staunch defenders of the stomach.
But il is not paying professional cooks
high salaries nor is it to endeavor to show
readers that cooking is deservedly a fine
art that this is written. Where cooks are
obtarnable there is little doubt those who
can viii pay to have their services, and
cooks deserving the name are not prone
to be satisfied with insufficient supplies.
In Texas the majority are a plain
struggling people, people who forego
the comforts of an older civilization and
endure privation in a new country in the
hope of lettering their own fortunes,
and amassing at least competence for
old age. At the same time they bring
with them, and this is especially true of
the women, remcmDrances of Injuries at
bone, of certain vanities in personal
adornment or household decoration,
and this memory is quiekened
by the actual knowledge that
many of these non-essentials can
be brought where they now are,
although the cost is much greater. This
knowledge begets desire for possession,
and what with natural love for pretti-
ness and an equally natural vanity, the
housekeeper whose cash supply is
none too generous begins TO cast about
for some way of economizing in order TO
