briefly described, and says:
1.-The proposed change involves an in
creased cost of only about twelve hundred
dollars per annum, owing to the fact that
the additional expense will be merely that
of paper and presswork, and perhaps addi-
tional help in the mailing department.
The change, on the other hand, will insure
economy ard promptness in answering re-
quests for information and In supplying
the newspaper press "a most important
agency for the distribution of this infor-
mation) with the full reports of the con-
suls at the earliest possible moment, and
will encourage consular officers. by the
speedy publication OF their reports, to put
forth their lest efforts in this direction
AS to the latter result, / may remark that
the increase of interest among consular
officers in the commercial work of the de-
partment is very perceptible of late, and
that the annual reports to be printed in
Commercial Relations. which / hope to
have ready by the LIST of January, 1898,
promise to be superior to any that have
yet been obtained. 1t will, of course, be
for Congress to determine whether provi-
sion shall be made for extension of the
present system, and also for additional IA
ciities which are sorely needed for the de-
velopment of other features OF the work"

Where She Kept Her Money,

From the Chicago Chronicle
II was on the o'clock car of the State
street lire early Monday morning. The
car, which had been bowling along quite
rapidly, was hailed by a belated female at
18th street. The driver stopped, and the
young woman. who was not by any means
beautiful, jumped aboard the car. She
took a seat among the sleepy men INSIDE
but the next moment she jumped up again
blushing furiously. She went out on the
back platform and whispered something
very confidential to the conductor The
latter began Immediately to grin. The car
was now at 30th street. and the conductor
jumped or and ran ahead
Now's your chance" he called to the
girl, and she jumped of and lodged around
corner. The car waited.
Hurry up, there LADY," called the con-
ductor.
A moment later the girl came back, care
fully rearranging her skirts, and carrying
81 bill in her hand She was blushing
more furiously than ever.
The conductor rang the bell to 20 ahead
and took the lady'e fare, giving her back
q handful of small coins
What was the matter?" asked an in
qu;sitive passenger on the back platform.
'Oh, nothin'," replied the blase con-
ductor, "cn'y some wimmin uses deihr
stcckin's fur pocket books, and sometimes
it's inconN enient."

From the Louisville Evening Post.
Not far from Hodgenville stands an old
house which has wonderful power for
the attraction of lightning. 1t is in an I'M
used field, surrounded by shrubbery and
underground. 1t is only the frame of a
once costly dwelling and has been stand
ing there for forty years. Strange as 1t
may seem. 1t has been struck by lightning
every time an electrical storm has visited
that section.
The house was erected by well-to-do
farmer years ago. and was intended for a
dwelling for his family, but had to be de-
serted on account of its habitual subiec-
ton to lightning. 1t has never since been
occupied. During a thunder storm one per-
petual flash of lightning plays about the
old house. On dark night, and during a
storm. a more beautiful scene could not be
found. The whole sky and earth around
the old house Is brightly illumined by the
lightning. The house has been torn away
strip by strip. with each bolt of lightning
until now only a small portion is left stand
ing. So far as is KNOWN no fatalities have
ever occurred in the house.
