After ~ experience in 1891 in con-

There could be no disaster more COM
plete within the scope Of it's field of
operation than that which has befallen
the little town of OntCnagon in the
northern peninsula of Michigan. One
of those fires which break out in the
northern forests during the dry wealth
er Of the fall surrounded .be little city
and fairly o%bliterated it, destroying
several millions in property and leav-
ing almost the entire population with
out shelter. 1t is estimated that at
least 1.5O0 people arc made utterly de-
pendent, the heads Of families having
been thrown out of employment, with
q very poor prospect of getting any

town, indeed, may not be robuilt at all.

Dangerous Work.

The underwater section of the Black
well Tunnel, under the Thames, the
largest tunnel ever built, has just been
finished. It is twenty-sev2n feet in di-
ameter and n mile in length, and
connects Poplar on the north side Of
the river with Greenwich on the south.
Nearly four thousand feet Of this tun-
mel had to be driven by compressed
air. The accuracy of the survey and
the danger of the work may be mag
ined from the statement of the engi-
neers that while driving under the
river bed there were, at one time, but
five feet and two inches of earth be-
tween the tunnel and the water. SO
great was the danger of the water
bursting through that large quantities
Of clay were dumped into the river
over the thinnest spots.

Not to Be Overlooked.

In the field of domestic science and
dietetics. we are a long way behind
Germany. Not long ago that country
established schools for teaching girls
in factories. mills, and home service
the details of Homework and cooking.
Even private establishments in the
Kaiser's empire, in cases where the list
of women and girl employees is long,
maintain at their w expense train
ing schools for those who are serving
them. Though this is done from Il pure
ly selfish motive, it is significant as
showing the commercial value of we'll
fed and well-kept laborers, q point that
should not be overlooked by social
economists.

LINE.
Friendship Never Influenced His Sc.

Friendship Never Influenced His Sc.
lection OF Official Assistants.
The line between public duty and pri-
vate friendship is practically such a
thin one that many transgress it. Few
men, when called to administer public
affairs. ever think Of initiating the Athe-
MAN Cleon, who, on becoming the ex-
ecutive of the city, told his friends that
he renowned their friendship lest it
should induce him to act with partially.
If he had renowned his passions, as
well as his friends, he would have prov
ed a successful administrator.
George Washington, when he became
President of the United States, did not
%renounce his friends, but he did not per-
NIT their friendship to sway him ever
so slightly from the path Of public
duty. A gentleman, an intimate friend
who for seven years had been the gen.
erals associate in war, and was at all
times welcomed as a guest at the Presi-
dents table, applied for a lucrative
office.
Another gentleman, who had made
himself conspicuous as a political oppo-
nent of Washington, was also an appli-
cant for the same office. He had, how
ever, every qualification for the position
integrity, skill in business and ability
to do prompt and continuous service.
Every one, on learning of the two
applicants. said, "Why, that man has
no chance! He's one of the Presidents
moct oo,.nac+ ornopop4c o,,J Io l,cps+
a single testimonial from any one of
Importance. Besides, he is opposed by
the Presidents favorite!!''
They judged Washington altogether
by ordinary standards. When the ap-
pointment was announced, the name,
not Of the Presidents friend. but of his
opponent appeared. "A mutual friend,
who had interested himself in the fav-
orite's application, ventured to inquire
of the President the reason for this
action.
MY FRIEND" said Washington. Il re-
ceive with cordially; l enjoy him at
my table, and l give unto him my hear
ty friendship. But good man as he is,
he is not a man of business. The other
man, though he is politically opposed to
me. is a Ia of business. My private
feelings have nothing to do with the ap-
pointment. l am not George Washing
ton, but President of the United States.
AS George Washington l would do my
friend any kindness in my power. but
as President of the United States l
can do nothing for him.
The anecdote is an old story. but be-
it is old it marks a far-off point
Of departure. Public men have drifted
far away from Washi-gton's line,
which marked for him the distinction
between public duty and private friend

pcnses for a year. 1t would not keep the
Government machinery going for more
than a week.
The $500 200 outstanding on account of
the loan of 1862 is the largest amount to
be credited to any one loan, except the
$4,000 balance Of the funded loan of
1891 outstanding at the end of last year;
but it is much too early to calculate on the
profits of that loan. The treasury re-
ceived $96,2OO worth of bonds last year,
and more are coming in all the time.
The Oldest bonds presented for redemp-
ton last year were part of the loan of
July and August, 1861. They were not
called till 1881, and last year $7,4OO worth
were presented at the treasury. They
had drawn no interest for nearly twenty
foul years while they lay hidden in some
body's strong box. If they had continued
to draw the original interest. they would
have brought an income of $444 annually
to their owner. The Government has
made more than $4,000 in interest. on
these bonds, reckoning at single interest
only.
These illustrations serve to show what
the Government profit is. The treasury
will make no less than a million dollars
on bonds issued before 1895 never present
ed for redemption, inc it has made as
much more in unpaid interest up to date.
The officials of the Treasury De-
partment would be very glad to
have every loan paid within a week of
it's maturity, for under the present condi-
ton the loan account is never closed. With
a view to keeping in touch with the Gov
ernment's creditors, these officials encour-
age bond buyers to take registered rather
than coupon bonds. Very few registered
bonds are lost; and when there is a loss

securities, because most of them, it is
quite evident, have been destroyed. Some
have been dissolved in the ocean; some
have been consumed by fire; some have
been eaten by mice; some have been torn

securely that they will probably not be
