OUR NATIONAL TREASURY.

Curious Facts About the Peoples
Fiscal Agency.
The treasury department is the most
Important branch Of the government
next to the state department 1t is the
fiscal agency Of the people. AT it's head
is the secretary Of the treasury, who,
for salary Of 500 a day, is responsible
for the collecting and disbursing of
$1,50O,OOO every day in the year and
for the custody all the time OF more
than $1,000 100000 in cash and bonds
The various secretaries Of the last for
ty years have handled altogether the
incomprehensible sum Of 5000, OO0,-
600. What Is more during all that time
less than $250,0OO was lost in the treas
ury department.
During any one week Of the present
year the treasury officials expended
more than was required to maintain
the entire public service for the whole
year 1905. The money collected by
the treasury last year, in round figures
wars $540,00O,000. The total amount
expended in the same twelvemonth
was $5S2, 100000. We spent thus $42,-
000, 900 more than we took in, but full
$4000O,000 Of the excess Of expenditure
over revenue is accounted for in the
single check given in payment for the
Panama canal property. ~
The biggest bill collected by the treas
ury was 1921, OOO, 900 for customs, the
second largest bill collected was for
$232 900, 600 for internal revenue, then
$4,000 was taken in for the sale Of
public lands and $37 ,OOO, 900 for various
small matters. The largest bill paid in
the same time was $142, 100000 for
pensions, then $115,OOO,OOO for our
army and $1O2. 100000 for our navy.
To Indians there was paid a little mat
ter of $100OO.OOO and for the interest
on the public debt $4,000 900. Finally,
the treasury expended $1s6, 100000 for
mere miscellaneous items" If we
count all the dollars paid out by the
treasury since Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the White House we find that the sum
Is equal to the sum of all the money In
the country at the present time. or

Loui. Napoleon An.wered.

Lady Blessington did not always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered In her London home
Louis Napoleon after he had escaped
from his prison in Ham. After Louis
Napoleon became president of the
French republic he seems to have
turned the cold shoulder On Lady
Blessington and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him in Paris. There
was a story going at the time, for the
accuracy Of which we certainly will
not vouch, but which appeared In sew
eral of the London papers. Shortly be-
fore Lady Blessington's death she met,
SO the story goes, the president driving
in the Champs Elysees. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers, and they
conversed for a few minutes. His
manner seemed to her determinedly
chilly. do you stay long in PARISH

This question was brought forward
by the writing master of the elder
Dumas.

said 10 him, "the great defeat of the
emperor was due only to his scrawling
hand. If you wish to succeed in the
world be careful of your heavy and

had known how to write legibly or il
