Financial Affairs Of France.

The financial speech of the ex-Prime
Minister NJ Loubet, in the senate, Is to
be posted, by order of that house, all
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 81 200, 000,-
900. 1t also appears that the difficulty Of
making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since M. Meline secured the tri-
umph of his system. The court Of audits
has discovered 211 irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid.
By irregularities it means embezzle-
ments, set down under the head of wire
ments.
Among them figures the $500 spent
on behalf of a minister for "cabs, I"
and e64O a month for little ode
jeuners' at Voisin's, where a min
lister of justice entertained his friends.
The "virements" at the home Office are
set down at $3.50, those Of the war Of
flee at 81, $3.50, those of the colonial Office
at So, 900, those of the public works Of
fee at e2,375. When M. de Freycinet
was war minister, the "virements" Of
his department amounted to about &C.,
900 year. He, as minister of public
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
since Theirs retirement. The redeem
able loans were an expedient of M. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
public works department.

Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that clause in your
will giving your body after death to any
person or institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry odt your wishes, though they may
do so through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
to remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead of
two, as in bequeathing personal property.
"When a woman will, she will, de-
pend ont" says the proverb. But there
are so many sharp turns and short
curves in the course of the law that
though woman wills to will what she
will, how she will in nine cases out Of
ten she cannot make her will so that she
wills what she will as she wills to will.

HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.

to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1866 the use
and abuse Of strong drink were almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain Of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excuses in the old times came
after solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and convivial-
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
nous. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1882, dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and well known
broker ON the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece
This would be thought very large al
lowance of strong Madeira in these
times
In 1853 the final audit Of the accounts
of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and on behalf of the government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
M. Mason and Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. 1t was mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber of the bank building-now the
custom house-at II o'clock. A bottle
of brandy and six of Madeira were on
10 DOL Oh
Of papers the wine was opened, and by
l o'clock was drank. The day was
warm, and bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and a flask of Curacao.
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles J.
hgersoll about o'clock They returned,
bringing a friend A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until IL, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con-
ducive to digestion. A tumbler of this
finished The clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at daybreak to drink q
cup of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the nights rotations.
1t is apparent that in life like this
it was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
govt, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and so the habit of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.
Gambling was almost universal, and
many fortunes of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this way.-Philadelphia

PopULIST STATE CONVENTION.

The populist state convention met
in Des Moines Tuesday, and nominal
ed candidates for state offices. The
nominees were: Governor, Sylvester
Crane of Davenport; lieutenant-gOy-
ernOr, A. r. Starrett of Humboldt; for
supreme judge, Theo. w. Ivory of
Glenwood; superintendent, Rev. L. b
Tabor of Guthrie county; railroad
commissioner, E. J. Steeson of Sioux
City.
The following platform was adop-
ted:
First.-The peoples party of Iowa In
convention assembled reatfirm the
principles of the Omaha platform.
Second.-We denounce the late de-
cision of the supreme court on the in
come tax, the recent acts of govern
ment by injunction in the interests of
corporate wealth, and the issue of in
terest beyring bonds.
Notwithstanding with Satisfac-
| ton the expression of individual opin-
ions among citizens, irrespective of
party, in favor of restoring silver to
its constitutional place in the coinage
of the country at the ratio of sixteen
to one, we extend the right hand of
fellowship to all men, who are willing
to join us in the dethronement of the
money power of Wall street and Eu-
rope and the emancipation of the pro.
ducing classes of the world.
Fourth.-We declare for the adop-
ton of the initiatiYe and the referen-
dunn.
Fifth.-We further demand that I'M
til such time as the government sys-
| tenn of finances can be established, that
all banking institutions, national
state and private be required to give
security to depositors for all money re,
ceived on deposit.
Sixth.-We demand that the legisla,
ture of Iowa shall provide, by adequate
legislation, for the inspection of all
workshops and factories where more
than ten persons are employed, that
the physicist and sanitary conditions
may be improved and the lives, limbs
and health and convenience of the EN-,
ployes be better guarded.
Seventh.-The salaries of our public
officers beinfi far in excess of the re-
turns from productive industry, we de.
mand of the next general assembly a
readjustment of the salaries of all pub
lie officers, on basis to correspond
with the reduced prices received for
the products of labor.
Eighth.-We believe that the eXpen'
ses of government should be borne
in proportion TO the ability of the Citi-
zen to pay them, and to this end we
favor graduated state tax upon in
comes, also a state inheritance tax
similar to those of New York and
IllinOir.

Ants as Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold ON with wonderful
grip Of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
3linging with q death hold to one an.
other, making peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip Of an ants jaw Is retained oven
after the body has been bitten OF and
nothing but the head remains Eek

Snakes at Home Inside a Cow.

The following remarkable snake
story is taken from an eastern ex-
change:
A well known and prosperous
farmer, near PortersvilIe, Butler
County, Penn. told the following
remarkable story, which is vouched
for by the good citizens of that
neighborhood.
He said that days ago valuable
COW belonging to the family was
missing, and that yesterday the an
imal was found dead, lying among
the cranberry bushes in the swamp.
A veterinary surgeon happened
along about that time and said he
had curiosity to know the cause
of the animals death. He proceed
ed to hold a post-mortem on the
body. While he was at work a
four-foot black snake crawled from
the mouth ofthe dead COW and sue
ceeded in escaping in the under
brush.
The doctor was considerably start
led, but he proceeded with his work
and when he had reached the stom-
ach he was Mortified to find that it
was fairly alive with little black
snakes from six to eight inches in
length. Twenty-Five of the reptiles
were slaughtered and few escap-
ed. 1t is now supposed that the
mother snake in some manner
crawled into the interior of the
cow while she was eating and that

to find refuge in the interior of the

OPEN UP THE STREETS.
And Consolidate the school Districts OF
Stafford and Layton.

The means of communication be-
tween this place and Layton is
abominable. But it could be made
convenient by opening up the nee
essary streets.
The street running north and
south past the post Office and which
would run by the Layton meeting
house, if opened, should by all
means be thrown open. five have
been correctly informed the open
ing OF this street would damage
no one except Earnest Westover.
1t would cut his land, leaving about
four acres on the west side of the
street, which Mr.. Westover feels
would damage him more than he
can afford without some compensa-
ton.
Stafford must have new location
for the school house on account of
the present house being in too
close proximity of the depot. Why
not purchase this land of Mr.. West
over for school purposes, build q
house large enough, consolidate
the districts Of Stafford and Layton
and conduct the two grammar
schools as one, still maintaining
one primary school here and one
in Layton. By this means it would
facilitate matters so that better re-
suits would follow in the schools
than have heretofore been accom-
plished with at least one-fifth less
expense, as we would be maintain
ing three schools then instead of
four. This site is nearly centrally
located between the two districts
and is not too far for the larger
pupils to walk from either district.
This is a matter for serious con-
sideration by the people of both
as Stafford must have
new school house before school
next year and the
house in the Layton district is in
adequate for grammar school pur-
poses.
If this scheme can be carried
out it will not only open up a con-
venient street, but will also be the
means of furthering the opportuni-
ties of an education for our chill
dren in which every good citizen
should feel the keenest interest.
