The C.. P.

San Francisco, March S.-Under in
structions from the secretary of the
treasurer, bearing date of Feb. II,
Assistant Treasurer Berry of this city
was instructed to demand of Isaac L.
Requa, president of the Central Pacific
Railroad company, and of the treas
urer of that corporation, the sum of
s9,605, 210.06 in order that the govern
ment's case might not be prejudiced in
the future by failure to formally de-
mand the exact sum claimed to be due
from the railroad company.
Mr.. Berry did not expect his demand
to be met, and he was not disappointed.
Within a few days the railroad COM
pany, through its resident attorneys,
will make a detailed reply to the gov
eminent. 1t will be maintained on
behalf of the road that it has manv
judgments which affect every depart
ment of the government, and that the
aggregate of these claims more than
counterbalances the demand of the
United States.
The action of Mr.. Berry was Of a
purely technical nature and was taken
to obviate the possibility of the gov
eminent being charged with laches in
the future.

The Old Story of Little Drops of

Water and Little Grains of Sand.
The old adage that a woman can
throw out of the window with a tea
spoon more than man can bring in on
a shovel" contains more truth than
poetry. A large income can be wasted
with surprising celebrity by the continu-
ance os little leaks that seem too in
significant to be noticed individually
Many a woman is ignorantly a partici-
pant in rearing and protecting these
little foxes that spoil the household
vine. A very partial list OF some OF
these little wastes are:
Wearing rubbers over new shoes,
thereby making the leather dry and
hard. and easily cracked.
Pieces o. lace and ribbon thrown
away.
Making the sewing woman wait in
the house idle or doing fancy work be-
cause YOU have neglected to get ma
terials before her arrival
Buying articles because they are
cheap, and will come in some time.
Allowing whalebones to rub through
the waist, thereby running an elegant
