A permanent committee has been
formed in France to harmonic and

now amounts to one-third of a billion
dollars, which, Is sum greater than ever
possessed by any individual in the world
1t is estimated that, at the present rats

aire in about ten years If he lives.

In the first three weeks OF December
four trusts with an aggregate capital Of
$l85, 100000 were incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey. The total amount
of capital trustifed under the laws Of

December 81, was $3.50, 900, and the
total interpretations now foot up the
immense aggregate of $l,ll5,96O,0O0 In
the state of New Jersey. How small
capitalists expect to compete with such
enormous millions of socialized capital
confronting them is one Of the strange
manifestations Of an age In which greed
or want drives men mad.

the whole. The appropriation for the sup
port OF the commission was restored, the
motion to strike out the appropriation be-
ing defeated, 50 to ll9.

Manila. House Reptiles.

One feature Of the houses in Manila
which is rather hard to get accustomed
to is the presence Of the great number
of lizards which crawl around the cell
ings Of the rooms at night. They are
harmless, but the thought that they
may occasionally lose their grip and
drop down in ones face Is not calcu-
lated to make them welcome members
Of the household. There are many
scorpions about, but they keep exclu-
sively in the dark corners Of the house
and yard and otherwise behave them
selves well. It is said that nearly all
the older houses are populated with
house snakes. which wage a relentless
war upon the rats; but so far I have
not found any beneath my pillow or
seen any wandering about.
