One can easily realize the immense
work of collecting this vast sum of
money. In addition, however, the Trea-
sury, through it's accounting Officers, has
to supervise the expenditure of every
dollar paid out for the support of the
government, and to adjust the accounts
of every officer spending the public
money. Not dollar can be paid into
the Treasury of the United States nor
paid out without an order from the Sec
rotary addressed to the officer known as
the Treasurer of the United States, di-
recting him to receive the money, which
is technically termed covering 1t into
the Treasury" or to pay out money to
the person entitled, as the case may be.
This order Of the Secretary ia called q
warrant" if it orders the Treasurer to
receive money into the Treasury it is
called towering" warrant; If to pay
out money it is called either ''settle-
ment" warrant (when the money is paid
to some person entitled to it of his own
right, or an accountable" warrant (if
the money is paid to some officer Of the
government whose duty 1t Is to expend
it foA the purposes of the government.
This latter officer has to give bond to
properly apply said money.-[Harper's

The Lotus Land of the Pacific
A SAMOAN BATHING PARTY.

By-and-by the visitors, one by one, re-
tired to their houses, and at about 10
o'clock, the rain by this time having
ceased, and the moon coming out in all
her splendor, the girls suggested bath.
So off we started, singing, laughing, and
chaJtering like children just released
from school, till down by the beach we
came to miniature fresh-water lagoon.
Each girl as she reached the waters
edge UNFINISHED the lava lava, or linen
waist-cloth, that formed her only gar
ment, and as 1t fell to her feet, dlved into
the pool. Having improvised bathing
suit with towel, l followed, and there
in the moonlight we splashed about and
dlved and swan, the girls with their
1.-the, graceful figures, and dripping,
cleaning locks, looking like a band of
dusky water-nymphs from some old pa
gan paradise. After the bath the girls
ran races, and was initiated into the
mysteries Of q game that was the Samoan
equivalent of the old English kiss-in-the
ring. All went merrily, till the shout
ing and laughter brought an angry old
gentleman on the scene, who informed
US that it was quite time that all decent
people, samoan or otherwise, were asleep.
Not altogether sorry to take the hint,
retired under my mosquito-nets, while
the girls stretched themselves out on the
mats around the house, and soon we were
all asleep.
THE WOMAN QUESTION IN SAMOA.
The "Taupo" Is always a young and
good-looking girl, generally the daughter
or adopted daughter of the chief. She is
chosen as "Maid of the Village" and
maintained by contributions levied from
all the inhabitants, who supply her with
food, clothing (the latter not heavy or
expensive item), and large, well-built
house, In which she is expected to dispense
hospitality to all important visitors.
Three or four attendants are always with
her, whose duty 1t Is not only TO serve
her, but to keep watchful eye upon her
and see that she never strays from the
path OF propriety, she being destined
eventually TO wed some great chief. On
the ceremony taking place, the village to
which the bridegroom belongs must
make an Offering Of valuable mats, large
quantities of food, and various kinda Of
property to the village Of which she is
the Maid; so that, apart from any con-
sideratIons OF abstract morality, she 10
looked upon as valuable asset, and Ia
guarded accordingly. Should she, how
ever, yield to the destinations OF some
handsome young manaia dandy, her
hair is cropped short, she is stripped Of
her simple finery, and degraded to the
post OF attendant on the more prudent
virgin who may be chosen 40 her success |

A place 1 know, the haunt of dreams,
A quiet space, deep hidden away,
Where softeped fall the MONDAY CLEANS,
Where one might go alone to pray.

One sometimes hears the the hermit thrush
The passing foot awakes no sound
In that sweet sanctuary's hush.

Near the great city's throbbing heart,
Unto that white peace enter in,

If the Gilt Edges should defeat the

box, the Eastern professionals will be
able to tell their comrades beyond the
Mississippi River that there is one team
on the Pacific Slope that can hold its
own with the best Of them.
And there need be no great surprise
if the visitors should be defeated. They
are no better players than the Balti-
moreS-if quite as good-and in the
work that Harvey has done here he has
shown himself to be the equal of the
best pitcher that ever sent ball over
the local plate. If he plays in his usual
form, and the rest of the team do their
average field and batting work, neither
the All-Americas nor any other base
ball aggregation would have any IL
cense to down the Gilt Edges. Stanley
will be behind the bat, and the pair
make a strong battery.

Movement for a Local Business and

Harry Rogers, organizer for the In

deavor to start a general movement
tending to stimulate trade in Sacra-
mento and vicinity, and also to foster
and encourage a, spirit among our mer-
chants and citizens generally to pat
ronize home industry.
A vast volume of trade is being di-
verted from Sacramento, where 1t matt
urally belongs, to other channels, be-
cause OF a lack of local pride and en-
terprise. and it is intended that this
movement will bring to the attention
of our citizens the necessity of foster
ing our home industries.
In pursuance of this object, Mr.. Rog-
ers IS now urging each labor organi-
zation in Sacramento to take prompt
action in appointing a committee, in
order that all may act together.

Council, at its last meeting on Monday

purpose as have also the Topographic
