Excess of About 81, 900.

The last statement in November OF the
condition of the federal treasury and Its
ordinary receipts and disbursements, will
contain a surprise. In single day the
treasury deficit of nearly SAT 100000 will
be reduced to less than $50, 000, 900, and
the November deficit of nearly $4,000 900
changed to an excess of about $4,0OO,OOO.
This remarkable change will be effected
by crediting the miscellaneous account"
with $13,6OO,00O, the amount received
from the Union Pacific. The first pay
ment for the property, for which the re-
organization committee has contracted to
pay $5S,O0O, 0C0, will have gone into ''mis-
cellaneous" receipts and the entire deficit
in the receipts and disbursements" ac-
count will have been wiped out. 1t Is ex-
pected that current revenues during this
period will run behind the ordinary expen-
ditures several million dollars, SO that
when the entire Unior Pacific deal is
closed up and the SIS, OO, 900 is lodged in
the treasury, the books will show very
small balance either way, either In de-
fciency or excess. In January next the
government will be rallied upon to redeem
subsidy railroad bends to the amount Of
about $50, 0O0, 900, but as payment and re-
ceipts on account of the public debt do not
figure In the statements of ordinary re-
ceipts and expenditures, this latter ac-
count will stand about as stated above.

BAB TALKS ON
MOTHERHOOD.

! ing some books the other night, came
across q copy, an old. old copy. OF John
/ Halifax, Gentleman" and almost before
1 knew what was about I was reread-
| ing that most delightful of books.
Then there came back to me the story
of the little girl whom she had loved
/ so well. At the funeral of her mother
some one said that her marriage banns
had been announced only the Sunday
before. One day Mrs. Craik and her
husband were out driving. and meeting
some friends were told by them that a
beautiful child, a baby evidently of
aristocratic birth, had been found on a
stone by the wayside that morning,
and, not knowing what to do with il,
the man who discovered it had taken it
to the town hall, where it was waiting
to be identified. With woman's curl
osity Mrs. Craik drove on to see the
child that had been so cruelty treated.
AS she leaned over TO look at il it
raised its little arms to her. and the
childless wife announced that. having
claimed her, it should be her child. 1t
went home with her, and for weeks
afterward a description of it was ad
vertised in all the English papers. for
Mrs. Cra:k did not propose to lose it
just as she had learned to love it. But
no word as to who it was or where its
parents We're or who had abandoned it
ever reached its mother by adoption.
AS soon as the child could understand
she was told that while she was not
their daughter in the usual sense she
had been given this father and mother
by God, who had laid her on a rock
where they might find her.
The stone had been dug up and was
in the hall of the Craik house, and from
the time she was old enough it became
the duty Of the little girl to put fresh
flowers upon it every day. Whenever
a beautiful vase was given to Miss Mu-
lock, lovely jug or a bit of china that
would hold flowers, it would be sug-
gested that it should be put on what
was known to the household as the
baby stone" The fact of the child's
unknown parentage was never made a
cruel story to her, and she was sur
rounded SO entirely by love, by sweet
ness and the beauty of life that each
night she thanked God in her prayers
that her dear mamma had found her
instead of some one else, who might
have been less gentle and less thought
full of her. A friend of mine was pres
ent at her birthday fete, the day cele-
brated being that one on which she
was discovered. At this her tenth fes-
tivity she said to another little mite,
who was telling that she was IL years
old and her grandmother a duchess,
''Oh, yes; but that's nothing. I'm not
an ordinary child like you. You were
only born while / was found" The
story of this girl. now a wife and
mother. seems particularly sweet to me,
and 1 think that she can have no bet

Among the good examples set by the
fashionable English woman is that Of
being a mother. 1t is possible that
YOU may visit at her house formally,
and you will never know that there is
anything in the shape of small child
there. But if you happen to know
your hostess well the small people are
brought in with the dessert, dressed IN
the simplest and prettiest OF clothes
and prepared by the teaching that has
been given them to show not only their
finery. but their good manners. The
English woman, copying the example
set by the royalties, is proudest when
her family IS large. She likes to go to
drive in the afternoon up and down the
row showing the sons and daughters
that are so much of credit TO her.
She certainly looks her best at these
times, for the tall, slender girls, with
their beautiful hair the big, fine look
ing babies and the manly looking boys
remind one Of that small girl who so
many years ago announced to her
mother, L am glad you married into
our family, mamma, because you are
so pretty" The extremely smart wom-
an in New York is copying the English
grande dame and goes out driving with
her midgets about her and tries her
hardest TO impress the woman who rides
with dog as her companion how much
she is to be pitied.
BY the bye, did you ever notice the
way some women hold babies, espe-
ciany the way they lift those unfortu-
nate limp looking ones who seem 10
have no more backbone than cells? 1t
really does seem as if one type of VIC
man slung this kind of baby over her
arm as If it were a scarf she were wear
ing. And nine times out of ten the same
woman Will hold plump baby as if it
were a pitcher filled to the brim with
cream and which she must not allow
TO move for fear some might spill. l
never saw a man who didn't hold a ba-
by well, and / never saw a baby, es-
pecially a girl baby, that was not ex-
1remely anxious to be held by a man.
1t seems as if they realize, bless their
tiny hearts, that the arms about them
are good and strong and that at last
somebody is holding them who does
not fear dropping them. The children
of this generation-I mean the fashion
able children-are extremely handsome,
and the reason is not hard to discover
They are dressed with the utmost SIM
plicity. They eat simple food, which
is proper food They take plenty of ex-
ercise, and they are not supposed at an
immature age to be informed OF Greek
and Latin. Their mothers are deter
mined that they shall be beautiful wo-
men and handsome men, rising up TO DO
them credit.
Speaking of children, how many people
know the story of Dinah Maria Mulock
Craik's adopted daughter? Straighten-

ter lesson than that given to her in the
book written by the dear dead woman
who was a loving mother to her, and
be sure that if she always remembers
the quotation that is on its title page,
the best words that Ruskin ever
wrote, her life will be like her mothers:
Queens you should always be; queens
to your lovers, husbands and sons;
queens Of a higher majesty to the world
beyond; but. alas, you are too often
idle and careless queens, grasping at
majesty in the least things, while you
abdicate in the greatest" Certainly
one might wish that ii could be said of
every woman writer what can be said
of Dinah Maria Mulock Craik-she never
wrote anything that did not tend to
elevate woman, and she never put in
