No Foreign Demand.


There are no Indications. as yet. Of any
foreign demand for the s5O.OOO.OOO fve per
cent bonds. and. as has been already point
ed out by The Star. the small investors
who might be eager to take a three per
cent bond at par will probably hesitate
about taking a five per cent bond on three
per cent basis because Of the premium
= 1t Is probably because Of these consider
ations that the demand for the new loan
Is narrowed down to large investors, such
as insurance companies and trustees, who
minimize their responsibilities by investing

National Banks Won't Take Them.
That the entire s5OOOOOOO of bonds will be
taken at or above the minimum rate of
n17223 is assured. but how much more will
be subscribed for and by whom and at what
rate Is still a matter of conjecture. 1t Is
asserted that the national banks will not

may be said Of insurance and trust COM

How to Get Coin ON Them.
The manner in which the treasury will
secure coin for the bonds will be interest
ing. The only large holding of gold In this
country, outside of the treasury is in the
banks Of New York city. and it is said that

natural course for them to pursue will be to

The gold would Immediately be returned to
the treasury in payment for the bonds and
the net result would be an increase in the
currency balance of the treasury, but no
large increase in its gold.
Probability of u Further Issue.
Financiers are speculating on the possi-
biiity of a further issue of bonds in the near
future. and the prediction is made that the
Treasury Department will be required to
make another loan Of $50OO0.OOO before the
lst OF July next. Persons who have this
belief argue that the Secretary Of the Treas

BLESS THE LITTLE WOMAN.
The Sort OF Wife That Makes Homo Lie
One Long CLEAN of Sunshine.

That the average woman does moth
ing but attend "openings" and consider
the effect of various combinations OF
dress materials and bonnet adorn-
ments, while her poor, overworked
husband drudges in the office or ware
house is an altogether mistaken idea,
Notwithstanding the opinions frequently
expressed by numerous brilliant writers
who would seem to take delight in
proving her a useless ornament to
society.
The stylish skirt OF three founces is
frequently made of small pieces that
would never answer the same purpose
in any other shape, and husbands
could, if they would, tell of more than
one natty spring or fall suit worn with
iaunty indifference, which would have
been an impossibillty but for the ingen-
uity of the woman who sits beside him
chatting so pleasantly, the envy OF
other more tactless women who never
suspect that each of the three tiny
ruf1es on her skirt cover "piecing;' =
and the sleeves are standing joke
between husband and wife, for she had
covered the seams that met IN every
direction with the frills of old lace
which she has had tucked away for the
last two years, knowing they would
come handy. OF course she must man
age every way rather than spend a
cent on her costume. But the best
part of this does not appear to the
casual observer, who only notes the
we'll dressed couple and fancies they
have at least comfortable allowance
of this worlds goods.
There is a golden thread woven
through all this plecing and planning,
though lasts long after the garments are
threadbare. She has been so happy ir
the self denial; so grateful for the gif
which enables her to appear so well
dressed while sheis, in manner, helping
earn the handsome suit for the hus
band of whom she Is SO proud. Shit
is proving her love for him in the mos
practical maner, and no wonder he
face IS wreathed with smiles as thel
enjoy the results of her industry an'
economy.
And the husband. As he remove
his coat and replaces it with the loos
Jacket he is wont to wear in the office
there is a tender smile playing abou
his mouth and an unusually careful
adjustment of each fold of the carmen
his wife has pulled and patted int
shape before he left home, as she toll
him how becoming the new clothes reall
t were, and how handsome he looked il

WHY IS lT2

Why is it that so many men insist
on..shaking hands with girl? II
they want to shake hands let them
shake hands with one another. Girls
consider it bather, especially when
their hands are incumbered with
parcels.
Why is it that a man always reads
his programme during stage love
senes? Is it because he thinks him
self above such nonsense or because
he imagines that he could talk love
talk better than does the hero.
Why is it that a man can never
agree with a girl when they happen to
be discussing the beauty of some
other girl.

Sturgis and ate with evident relish two
pounds Of putty. A visit to wetherelI's
grocery store yielded him three pounds Of
tallow candles, which he devoured with
great gusto. Needing exercise after this,
he ran over to Ryan's quarry, where his
attention was attracted to q stick of dy-
Mantle that was being thawed out near
the stove. The explosive seemed to suit
his taste, and he promptly began to crunch
it. A stampede Of the men followed. They
were afraid to kick the dog away from his
meal for fear Of an explosion, so he leisure

frightened workmen, who for the rest Of
the day treated him with marked consid-
