ELLIS II. ROBERTSS OPINION
Ellis H. Roberts. Assistant Treasurer in this
city under President Harrison. by
Tribune reporter last evening at his home. No.
205 Boulevard. In answer to the question as to
whether another sale OF Government bonds is
probable in view Of the large and continuous ship
ments OF gold and the consequent reduction In
the amount OF the gold reserve Mr.. Roberts said:
My answer TO your question is that there
only two ways possible to meet the obligations OF
the Treasury. These two ways are. first, to make
the revenues exceed the expenditures, and. sec
ond TO borrow money by the sale OF bonds.
The second method is only a makeshift. but
must be relied upon when deficit In the balance
Is shown every week and every month Subter-
fuges for keeping up the revenue by the deposit
Of gold for anything else than actual revenues
cannot solve the problem. however skilfully they
may be managed.
Since the National income is less than the
outgo. the Treasury can meet It's obligations In
the redemption Of greenbacl:s and Treasury notes.
and even In the regular appropriations. only by
borrowing. In my opinion. another sale OF bonds
In the near future is almost inevitable. The
longer the sale is deferred the worse IT will be for
the Government.
Every good citiz,n n must hope that the Treas
ury Will have the courage and the patriotism to
offer the bonds here at home. The United states
is rich enough to raise all the money II requires
by popular loan. II an appeal Is made directly to
the people.'

PALMS AND FERNS.
Some Sensible Advice In Regard to Their

Proper Care.
The only satisfactory wav of always
having a pretty pot of growing ferns
with which 60 ornament the home din

hand at a time and to alternate in their
use. The ones i'll reserve should be kept

CT else the inner pots become thorough

froads are dry and dusty, while the
roots are almost rotting in water.

more water for some days unless the
weather is mild and dry. For this is an

almost as much as ont Of door ones, and
when standing in an unused room i'll
wet weather they will be better without
water often several days 1T Il time After
watering thoroughly leave until requir

be giving few drops of water III an If
regular way. The Same applies to larger
ferns and palms III ornamental outer
pots and stands.
Hardy ferns and some kinds Of palms
will stand fire, oil and even gas for
years if treated intelligently. Now and
then they want reporting if they out
grow tho pot or if through mis!nanage-
mout the soil become sour. When this
Is so, it is better to buy q small bag Of
roper soil at /! florists, saying what it
Is wanted for. 1t Is very inexpensive
and IS better economy than taking any
cOm}iOn soil from n front or back gar
den ono may have, unless, Of course,
proper materials are at hand.
All the room plants want washing oc-
casionally, besides sprinkling Tepid
water and piece Of flannel or sponge
is all that is needed. But if palms or
other similar plants become attacked
with any form of pest such as mealy
bug or the dry, scaly looking spots of
similar kind, a little soft soap should
be dissolved III the water used and
at all times any stray ones can be re
moved with the point Of Il little bit of
stick. When Il roO!u is very hot and
dry, it Is as well not to let the plants

just to place the plants on the floor by

Your MOther-in-Iaw.

You wish your wife to love your
mother. Then you must show the same
kindly feeling to hers, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies' Home Journal. Think
it all out and realize how close a girl is
to her mother, how she represents con-
ISOLATION and wisdom to her, how she goes
to her with her grief and her happiness,
and remember that you have not to be
only husband, but mother, for you must
be- so tender to her that with her head
on your breast and her arms about you
she will tell her troubles and her wor-
ries, her joys and her pleasures, and not
only look for but receive sympathy from
you. And then when her mother is there
be gentle and considerable Of her. She
has given you her companion and her
little helper, and be sure that there has
been many lonely hour for her since
that gay wedding day. So remember
that you owe her thanks that must ex-
press themselves in a pleasant manner
and i'll courteous speech. None Of us
can love people at once, but making up
our minds to care for them will make
affection come, and best of all, stay

Old Fashioned Tea Cake.

This is an excellent recipe for an old
fashioned tea cake, which is still very
popular in Now England: One quart of
flour, 1 eggs, half cup Of melted but
ter, cup OF warm milk, half yeast
cake, half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in hot water. Beat the eggs to a stiff
froth; add the milk, butter, soda and
little salt Stir the -four to smooth bat
ter and beat the yeast in well; set to
rise in buttered dish, in which it must
be baked and sent to table. Let it rise
six hours. Bake steadily three quarters

a Cats Caprices.

Cats are the most obstinately capri
cious in their fanCies about their beds of
any domestic creature They will fol-
low particular rug or shawl from room
to room, if it be removed, in order 10
sleep on it, or insist on tho use of ono
chair until they get their way, and
then, for some reason, take fancy TO
another The cleanliest of all animals
anything newly washed or very fresh
and bright strikes them as just tho
thing for bed. A nicely aired newspa-
per lying Oh the floor or in q chair or
linen fresh from the wash is almost ir-
resistible.
The writer was once much surprised,
when passing through large shipbuild
ing yard, to see a cat fast asleep, lying,
it seemed, on a muddy path. But the
spot which the cat had selected for it's
couch was one at which hot steam pipe
passed under the road, and the mud
was there baked into warm, dry cake,
which made not only clean bat an
artiicially heated sleeping place
But the oldest taste in beds developed
by a cat was that entertained by very
highly bred gray Angora, which was
justly petted and admired by the family
in which it lived For some months it
would only sleep in or upon hat, if
such could be found, ladies' hats being
preferred. If it could discover one with
the inside uppermost, it would lie in
side it. If not, such was it's love for this
form of couch it would curl itself
around the brim, and with its long,
furry tail and plant body made fine
winter trimming to a summer hat -
