The detailed Treasury figures for the
month OF May are interesting reading for
those who claim that the loss OF $50, 900, =

weighed by advantages obtained by II.
Our imports OF foreign wool in May were
Is, s,577, 36i pounds an increase of 10, 1852, 375
pounds over May, 1894. Our exports OF
American wool rose but to 977, ,eoi pounds
in spite OF sheep slaughter and starvation
prices Our imports OF foreign wool goods
for May were valued at s3oOi, ,4ia, an in
crease OF g, s7s, 25l over the values of the
imports for May, 1894. Our exports OF
American wool goods in May were valued
at s63, s9l This small amount is even an
decrease from the trivial total (s7s, 42e)
exported in May, 1894 Our imports OF
wool adulterants, foreign rags, shoddy,
etc, for May, 1895, amounted to 1893, ,6il

Tho Christmas Tree.

You may omit the holly, even the
mistlctoe, but the Christmas tree liz as
essential an attribute to "real live"
Yuletide as the turkey or plum-pud-
ding. In humble households, the tur-
key Is often missing. OF necessity 1t
must give place to q more plebeinn
chicken, and the pudding to n "store"
n,ince pie, or something Of that kind.
Yet no one can demur, for how could
anyone dare to be hypcrcritical on
Christmas day? But take away the
tree, and every child In the household
will pronounce this feast Of feasts q
dismal, melancholy failure. Why, even
the simplest and humblcst presents
have a festive air about them, when
placed under the tree. Tommy's brown
knit mittens and papa's warm slippers
look simply immense-not in size, but
in grandcur-immense when nestled
among the gayly-dressed branches Of
the Christmas tree.
To be sure, the tree seems like an I'M
necessary expense, especially when
there are so many presents to be given.
First, the father has to give present
to each child, and the mother likewise.
Then each child considers itself slight
cd unless they can give n present to the
father and mother. OF course, the
paterfamilias pays for the whole bust
