The annual Mexican budget estim-
ates have been prepared for the fiscal
year comm ncjng July l, next year.
and indicate governmental revenues of
SO, 961 800 and dis urse ments u few
thousand dollars less. But the general
financial opinion is that the revenues,
which are increasing. will in the next
fiscal year exceed these very conserva-
tive estimates of the finance minister.
Revenues from customs are now eX-
cecGing two million dol ar5 monthly
and stamp taxes are now steadily
augmenting, demonstrating the activity
of the internal movement of the country
and greater volume of business done
than in previOu, years. The official
statement of the national finances lat

shows revenues $50 52l.47O and dis
bursements S45, O7O, 1913, with a surplus

Fifteen millions is the price OF real

the New York World says Mr.. ". X. Van
derbilt paid for the honor of ally.ng his
family name with that of the ancient
house OF marlborough.
This statement. says the World, IS
made or the unquestionable authority
of an English gentleman visiting III
Washington who has been in Il position
to know all the facts. His account is
circumstantial and undoubtedly cor
rect.
The terms of the settlement were
$4,000, OOo-or, to speak with absolute
accuracy, the income of $4,000, oOO-On
MI. Nanderbilt's daughter during her
lifetime and $5,OOO,O0O on the duke. II
children are born they will inherit the
mothers portion at her death. If the
marriage shall be without issue this
$4,000, 900 will revert on the death of
the duchess.
But the dukes s5,ooo,ooo is to be his in
any event.
The settlement was not made in cash,
but in investments for the benefit of
the duke and duchess. These invest
n.ents are principally in the stocks and
bonds of the Lake Shore and other Van
derbilt railroads.

Scarcely Anything Is Wasted l


Scarcely Anything Is Wasted In
France.
All visitors to Paris rave about the
delicacy of the food and daintiness of
the service. They do not know some
of the ways followed by restaurants
and chefs. At the lower class of Paris
restaurants a very ingenious fraud has
been in practice for half Il century.
They make beef tea or bOuillOn VithOuJ
beef-warm water colored and favored
with burned onions and caramel as
bOuillon. To supply the little grease
bubbles which connoisseurs demand
was the only trouble. Finally a cook hit
upon the ingenious device of blowing
a spoonful of fresh oil over the SOUP
The oil Immediately forms in tiny
beads on the surface and there is your
soup. Nowadays every cafe of this sort
has its employee aux yeuX de bouillOr.
whose sole duty is to make the little
eyes or bubbles of grease on the soup.
Parisians of a certain class are i'm
mensely fond of ham, so much so that
the number of hams eaten in Paris
could not be furnished by all the pigs
killed in France. even allowing for the
shoulder as well as the leg being cured
this being the French practice. The
demand is supplied by buying up old
ham bones and ingeniously inserting
them into pieces of picked pork, which
are trimmed into shape. covered with
grated bread crusts and then sold for
Lam. In this way a bone does duty
for hundreds of times. Still, the sup
ply of bones was limited. and it was
not inconvenient to be put out if ones
neighbor did not return the ham BON,
which the dealer relied upon securing
the day before TO recover fer you. So
Il man conceived the idea Of mauufac-
turing ham bones wholesale, and made
a fortune from the sale of these arti-
fetal foundations. Nowadays. there
fore, ham IS plentiful in Paris-Boston

RABBIT INCUBATION.
Australians Compelled to Resort to the
French Theory.

The Australian government is again
alarmed over the tremendous increase
in the rabbit population which each
year does greater destruction to foliage
and crops, says the New York Journal.
Nr. Pond, the Queensland government
aacteriologist, has been engaged by the
Central rabbit association to conduct
Il series Of experiments for the whole
sale destruction of the rabbits by moe
ulation.
The tests will be made in territory
comprising about 500 acres. This plot
will be divided into three parts by as
many wire sections. The inner plot-a
square-will be reserved for the moe
ulation, after which the rabbits will be
turned into the second section, so that
they may be closely studied and
watched. Those which survive longer
period than that allotted by Mr.. Pond
viii be transferred to the third section
for more minute study as to the effects
of the incubation.
Great secrecy is preserved as to what
virus will be used, SO that in case of one
failure another disease may be used to
demonstrate that incubation will
eventually rid the country of the pests.

The Queer Work Performed by an Irish
Setter.

prominent sporting man the other
day. Il saw something out at Cutofr
lake which beat anything | ever heard
of. l was out there hunting snipe and
saw man riding around On horscbacN

Irish setter. As the fellow did MOI
have any gun, my curiosity was arouse
to know what he was doing. but sup
posed he was simply breaking his dog.
In few minutes l saw him ride up to
where the dog was on a dead stand
and the horseman proceeded to jab a
pole he was carrying down into the
ground and, bringing it up. took some
thing off the end of it. My curiosity
vas greater than ever. and circling
around l came up with the horseman
and asked him what he was doing.
Hunting frogs was the reply.
What is the dog doing?' said l.
Hunting frogs was the laconic
answer.
You don't mean to tell me that the
dog Will set the frogs, do you?'
1 don't mean anything else
~ few more questions and answers
brought out the fact that the dog had
seen his master hunting around in the
grass for frogs and spcaring them and
had of his own accord taken up the
task of locating the green beauties.
He was thoroughly trained hunter
on birds and he soon became very cN-
pert in locating frogs, so his owner in
