Current expenditures in excess
OF income .......................$ IL 704.34
Against an excess last year of $10,3242S,
showing an increase of $2,380.06.
This excess is very much more than ac-
counted for by an increased expenditures
for schools and permanent street work,
such as curbing, storm water sewers, sur
face sewers and culverts, heretofore
charged to special street paving fund,
but now charged to general fund.
Must Exercise Caution.
An examination of reports for past
seven or eight years will show that, with
the exception OF last year, the deficit be-
tween ordinary current income and ordi-
nary expenditures Is very much less than
usual. While this is true. and reflects
credit on the economical spirit prevail
Ing in the administrative departments, 1t
does not remove the fact that the city s
current expenses are larger than its cur
rent revenue. and that it Is incumbent up
on the Council to exercise the greatest
| caution in authorizing any SPECIAL or in
creased expenditures.
| The report of the Treasurer shows a
balance to the credit OF general fund of

Council it is misleading in the following
respect:

Strange Fishing Matches.

In the oldcn time In England lords
and Indies sometimes Invented queer
amuscmcnts. They were always on
the lookout for some novelty, and one
Of the strangest they discovered was
fishing by n goose. A line with balted
hook attached having been fastened TO
the goose, tied 10 It's leg. she was flung
into the water from the boat In which
were all the gay lords and ladies' Then
when n pike caught the bait. she was
sport indeed, royal battle between
bird and fish, and all the time, between
the loud splashngs, wheellngs and
founderings, the onloOicrs In the boat
giving vent to their feelings In cheers,
handclapplngs and handkerchief way-
ing.
But the goose was usually the victor,
and ended the struggle by landing It's
prisoner on the shore where it's quack,
quack. as II cleared Itself from the line
and waddled away ended the scene.
The lake OF Montelth I'm the southwest
OF Perthshirc was often the scene Of
such angling matches.

many years the chief Of the London

Black supported the Melbourne ad-
ministration In his paper, yet he never
asked a favor Of any OF the ministers.
On one occasion Lord Melbourne said
to him:
You nre the only man In England
who forgets that am prime minister"
How so, my lordT inquired Black,
supposing that he had been inadyer-
tently disrespectful.
Because" replied Melbourne, you
are the only man | know who never

quietly. 81 have no favor TO ask any

are the "rocks," some of which have

the pitch Is quite liquid, and the ground
all round is full Of pitch and coaly
stuff to a depth of hundreds of feet.

The GeiSha.

"Geisha," the professional girl en-
tertainer of Japan, is by no means to
be confounded with "geinin," says
Japan and America. The word geisha
really means actor, gel meaning a
play or entertainment Of any sort, and
"sha" means a person. For instance,
i-sha means physician, and so on. The
word really means what actor" does
I'm English. but II has come TO mean
only those girls in Japan who are
trained to entertain by dancing and
singing to the shamisen and koto, the
usual musical instruments for light en-
tertainments, and they also are trained
TO converse agreeably on topics of the
day. "Geinin," on the other hand.
while II really means the same thing
as geisha, has now come to be applied
TO artists, in a higher sense.
