Monthly Accounts.

Having things Charged" as it is
called, or, in other words, running
monthly accounts in stores, has, I'M
doubtedly, its dangerous side. 1t lies
in the fact that it is misleading; in
that it is far more difficult to realize
what one spends if the amount is not
Immediately paid than if the cash were
given at the time of the transaction.
AT the same time, a good deal depends
on the woman. Her financial problem
is not SO simple when she Charges"
things as when the amount of money
actually spent passes at the time from
her hand. In that respect accounts are
delusive. Almost invariably, when
they come in, they are larger in amount
than was thought or calculated at the
time. But this is experience, and, man
or woman, we learn better by expert
ence than by any theory or rule.-La-
dies Home Journal.

ARMY Will USE TT.
Signal Corps Arranging to Expert
ment with Wireless Telegraph.
Demonstrated That 1t IL Impossible
to Explode a Magazine ON Board
. Modern Ship by Means of
the Electric Wave.

1t Is the confident expectation OF Of
f3cers of the signal corps of the army
that within short time messages can
be flashed to and from the war depart
ment at Washington to Fort Myer, five
miles away, without the aid of wire.
Important experiments already made
at Fort Myer by Col. James Allen, now
acting chief of the signal corps, and
Lieut.. George o. Squire, have demon
strated that it is practicable to transmit
messages by means of electric waves
produced in the manner employed by
Marconi. These officers have found
that at distance of 1000 yards they
can telegraph any message, and it is
intended to increase the distances grad
ually until the war department and
Fort Myer are connected.
Lieut.. Squire said that he was much
gratified at the results of the expert
ments, and he believes that when the
experimental stage has been passed the
system will be of much value for work.
ing between the shore and lighthouses,
communicating between vessels at sea
and for marine work generally.
Perhaps the most important demon
stration SO far made has been the Inn
possibility of exploding magazine on
board modern ship by means of the
electric wave. Lieut.. Squire said that
in the first place it would be necessary
to have an operator on board the ship
to be destroyed, and even then it would
be impossible to transmit the wave
through iron. Placing the instrument
in an iron cage will prevent the waves
from reaching their destination, and a
zinc screen also stops them.
On account of the length Of the
waves their energies are absorbed
differently by different substances.
Thus water and metal absorb all
energy; glass absorbs nearly ell,
and parafine and hard rubber abb
serbs hardly any. Thus they
move through hard rubber and par
affine US light moves through air, glass
or water-that is to say, with hardly
any resistance-while glass let's very
little of them through, and metal and
water are impervious to them.
Lieut.. Squire estimates that the
waves travel at the rate of 10000 miles
second. At this rate they could reach
the sun in eight minutes. In time of
war, Lieut.. Squire states, it is possible
to fire gun 500 yards away by means
of spark thrown that distance.
The experiments in transmitting
messages have thus far been very linn
tied, as the instruments were received
only few days ago. The instruments
used are the finest that could be OBJ
tanned. The messages so far sent have
been received without difficulty.
The appliances include an ordinary
battery and Morse electromagnetic.
When the key is pressed the current
flashes between two brass globes, caus-
ing spark and sending the electric
waves in motion. Whenever the sender
desires to get in communication with
the receiver the pressing of the key
causes n bell to ring, calling atten.
ton to the instrument.

UNDERsELL GOVERNMENT.
New York Dealers in Secondhand
Postal Cards Compete with
the Post Office.

There are half q dozen men in New
York who undersell the United States
government in respect to postal cards.
These men sell 1000, 900 or 5000, 1000 one
cent postal cards annually at on av-
erage price of nine-tenths of cent
apiece, one-tenth of a cent less than
the official price, Notwithstanding that
the cards cost them nearly half a cent,
at least two-sevenths of a cent, and only
cost the government "a cents thou
sand.
The competitors of the government
are men who buy cards upon which an
address or advertising matter has been
printed, and erase or obliterate the
printing without illegally changing the
card.
They purchase the printed cards in
small and large quantities from all
sources. When two firms consolidate
the postal cards addressed and printed
belonging to each firm are useless. A
firm changing the location of it's shop
and desiring to inform it's patrons of
the change usually overestimates the
number of postal cards needed. A man
ufacturer in large way who sends out
hundreds of thousands of cards every
year often decides that the printed mat
ter on batch of cards is not satisfac-
tory, and may have hundred thousand
useless cards on his hands. The post
Office will not take them back with
money refunded and will not issue 9TH
er cards in exchange for them. These
cards are bought at a cost of from one
fifth to one-quarter of a cent each. The
dealer either grasses the printing with
chemicals, by secret process, or OBJ
literates it with glazed wash resem-
bling calcimine. The composition of
the calcimine is supposed to be a secret
with the inventor Of this second proc
ess, but the secret is so open that other
firms have discovered the art and are
practicing it in opposition to the orig
inator. The chemical process leaves
the cards like new; the wash process
leaves them, except where the govern
mental printing is at the top of the face,
any color commonly used.
There are no similar dealers in
stamped envelopes upon which adj
dresses have been printed. The post
Office takes back such envelopes, paying
two cents each for the postage stamp

Seldom Is the house painter of the

in Chicago the next morning.
They went to the Palmer house, and
left orders that their trunk be sent up
as soon as it came from the depot. This
was done, but when it was brought into
the room ordinations of amazement,
mingled with unl1ind remarks concern
ing some of their friends, burst from the
lips of the young couple.
The four sides of the trunk were COW

CHANGED to see it that it belonged to a

notices crowded congratulations and
directions to railroad and hotel men to
take good care of the young pair, and to
cap the climax there were painted the

The Unruly FilipenOs

The Filipenos do not appear to
appreciate the efforts of our Gov
eminent to better their condition.
Instead of assisting to bring order
out of confusion, they unite to drive
us from their Island by shot
and shell. Their conduct seems
to complicate matters and renders
the position of affairs very unpleas-
ant 1t is unpleasant to attempt
subjugation by force and equally
unpleasant to relinquish our good
intentions. If they were fitted for
self-goyernment and could give any
security for the preservation of the
peace, there might be some justif-
cation of their rebellious DISPOSE
ton. That disposition must be
changed, and that change can only
be effected by force. We do not
fancy such evangels as shot and
shell, but they seem to furnish the
only reasoning that can possibly
do any good. Perhaps the staying
of few thousand persons may have
salutary effect and the end aimed
at fastened more rapidly in that
way than any other. In the olden
times great slaughter was necessary
to accomplish great reforms and it
may be even so in the present age.
We cannot well 60 backward, we
musts therefore, 60 forward and the
result may be the evangelization of
many heather nations. The Fill
penos must lay down their arms,
they must obey the laws or take the
consequences resulting from their
rebellious acts.

Kingston, JAM, March 22.-Latest adj
vices from Cayenne, capital Of French
Guiana, indicate that the previous in
telligence about a collision between the
French and Brazilian delimitation com
missioners was exaggerated. The truth
seems to be that dispute arose between
the Brazilian and French commissioners.
1t was therefore decided to suspend the
delimitation proceedings until the respect
i've governments could be communicated
with. Meanwhile some quite personal
unpleasantness arose between the
French Senagalese troops and the Bra
zilians, which eventually led to an en-
counter, in which a few on each side
were hurt,
