Burden Of War Debt.

, The debts of nations given in the
World Almanac exceed $30,000,000.
These do not nearly represent the
cost of century's wars, but only that
portion of the cost which remains un-
paid and a charge upon the people.
Only in a few cases, like Canada and
New Zealand, does public debt repre-
sent other than war expenditure, and
these sums are more than balanced by
leftover" debts from the eighteenth
century.
The earth has 1887, 100000 inhabi.
tants, or 297, 5s0,000 families: It's per,
manent load Of war debts is 81 900 for
every family.-New York World.

To Dry the Umbrella.

To preserve an umbrella so that It
viii last long enough and not look
shabby it should be carefully dried
each time 1t Is carried in the rain.
TO do this it should never be stood on
the point, thus permitting the water
to trickle down, spelling the silk and
making the wires rusty, says the Gen.
tlewoman. Neither should an UNI
brella be opened to dry, for in this
way the silk Is stretched, and later it
becomes bagU, and it is impossible
to furl it smoothly. The correct way
to dry an umbrella is to shake ii
we'll to get az much water out as pos
sible and then stand it on it's handle
to drain,
