HAVE PLENTY OF COLD.

The gold exports Of the past two weeks
have not caused any anxiety at the
treasury department as 20 the state OF
the gold reserve, because the largest pos
sible volume Of exports, judging by the
experience OF the past few years, could
not carry the reserve below SSOOOO.0O0
The administration is disposed TO view
such a reduction of the reserve with
equanimity, II IL occurs, upon the ground
that the gold will speedily come back in
the autumn and that the treasury is so
firmly fixed upon a gold basis that no
alarm will be excited in business circles
The largest exports usually occur in
April, May, June and July, but the month
OF April is already well over with only a
small balance against this country.
The largest excess of exports over i'm
ports during the past three years occur
red in 1892, when the total for May, June
and July was $50, 13s, 733. III this entire
sum should be taken from the existing

THOUGHT HE WAS A WOMAN.
Why Mgr.Lavigerie's Face Ia Now Adorned
by Flowing Beard.

An interesting story is told by the n.
Y. Tribune regarding the reasons which
led the late Cardinal Lavigerie 10 allow
his great beard 10 grow, 10 which, ii has
been said, much of his authority in At
rica was due. When the famous pre-
late arrived at Algiers to take up his
duties as archbishop he saw with regret
that the faces of all the priests were COW
cred with hair At the reception of the
clergy the cardinal showed his dispeas-
ure at this, and virtually ordered them
to visit the barber at once. There was
great excitement among the long-beard-
ed priests. who disliked To sacrifice the
facial ornaments, which were their chief
pride. But Pater Girard, the popular
superior of the seminary in Algiers and
the possessor of the most lombard
like beard, claimed them by saying
that he would persuade the cardinal To
rescind his order. On the day follow
inc the prelate's arrival in Algiers Pater
Girard accompanied him on his first
official Journey. As they arrived in a
village inhabited exclusively by native
Africans the oldest inhabitants, who had
long known the superior came 10 pay
their respects 10 tne prince OF the
church. They looked with surprise on
the freshly shaven face of the cardinal,
and lively conversation followed ac-
companied by gestures illustrative Of as
constituent.
what are they saying?" asked Car
dinal Lavigerie, with Impotence.
oh" answered Pater Girard, pre-
tending TO be greatly embarrassed,
"they are great children You need
pay no attention to their nonsensical
talk"
But tell me. as ] should like to know,
continued the cardinal, unable to sup
press his interest and curiosity.
well, came the reply, they cannot
understand why man shaves himself,
They think you are woman, and a
very beautiful one"
Ii need hardly be added that tho arch
bishop of Algiers allowed his priests TO
retain their long boards. Indeed, few
months later the cardinal himself APP
peared with great beard, which soon
became known throughout the northern
part of Africa.

A Funny Predieament.

Several years before the breaking out
of the late war one of our naval vessels
fitted out for sea service, and after
completing her preparations hauled out
in the stream opposite the navy-yard
and dropped anchor. Owing to one
cause and another her departure was
postponed for several months, and when
at last she started TO get under way it
was found that regular reef had been
built up around the vessel with beef
bones, empty tin cans, and other refuse
that had been thrown overheard, and
it was not until high tide that she sue
ceeded in escaping from the trap that
had been unthinkingly made.

NO HALT IN BUILDING THE NAVY.

A report OF the house committee on
naval affairs presented states that the
committee has reluctantly concluded not
to recommend the construction of new
battleship because of the depleted condi-
ton of the treasury. 1t is urged, how
ever, that there must be no halt in build
ing up the new navy. England proposes,
says the report, TO begin seven battle
ships Of the first class. six cruisers OF the
second class and two Sloops. Italy. with
depleted treasury, is preparing TO build
three first class battleshipS, three cruis-
ers. twelve torpedo boats, and four trans
ports. Germany France and Russia are
going to even greater lengths TO secure
the increase of their navies.
The report summarizes the items Of APP
preparations for the new navy. The to-
tai Is sos. go. 966. which is an advance on
last year, but considerable decrease
from the estimate of this year. The
main item of decrease is 100000 for
armor plate, which is s., 10000 less than
the estimate.
