Much Money

st. Paul.-The state closed April with
a cash balance of $533,936.76 in the rev.
enue fund, a decrease since a month
ago of about 100000, but more than
100000 better than the condition a
year ago. On March 81, 1906, the rev.
enue fund totaled $685., 1872. On
April 80, 1905, it was down to S176,2
From now on for several months the
expenses of the state government will
be larger than the income. The ex-
penses of the government during April
were S2S7,O00 and the income some
thing like s1S5.000. With that much
income during the next three months
the state ought to close the fiscal year
without an overdraft. Last July the
fiscal year closed with shortage OF
nearly S450,000.

! little roms on the upper floor. They
never drank liquor and We're appar-
emily of the most peaceable disposition.
They went out regularly every day
and returned with equal promptitude
in the evening.
Even the people who lived below
heard nothing on the night of the MUIR
der. 1t was only guessed at because
the men didn't appear on the second
morning after the murder. Some one
notified the landlord and he summoned
the police. They broke in.
Peter Stuyanoff knew the dead men.
He was arrested as a suspect at first,
but there was nothing to prove against
him. In fact, he gave the police all the
little they do know. He said the men
never had quarrel in their lives and
never carried weapons. He said they
were all men who had come over here
to make their fortunes, and had no
thought of anything else but of max
ing money and of sending for their
loved ones on the other side of the
world.
Patner1c S1gnr at Morgue.
1t was a pitiful sight at the morgue
when poor Stuyanoff went there to
identify his dead friends. The sight
of the gaping wounds moved him to
tears. He knelt before each body and
made the sign of the cross as he
breathed prayer.
Then he arose to his feet and kissed
each dead man on the brow. When he
finally came to the body of his cousin,
young Yovke, he was completely over
come. Great tears rolled down his
swarthy cheeks; his big red handker-
chief was soon soaked with them. He
took the head of the murdered boy in
his arms and kissed the still face
again and again. Then he left the
room shaking with grief.
'They would not hurt a fly; would
not hurt a fy!" he moaned over and
over.

looked, however, as if the bodies found
in the cellar had ben dead longer than
the others. This only added to the
mystery.
Both bodies were terribly hewed and
hacked. In all, the six bodies between
them bore more than 100 wounds, al
most any one of them sufficient to kill
any able-bodied man. There were great

Moon Heat.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has n Won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight is only reflected sunlight
and that the quality and quantity Of
the light thus reflected are not what Is
generally imagined In fact, It is a
truth which has often been demonstrate
ed by the speculative astronomers that
1t would take G1S,000 full moons to
afford an amount of light equal to that
emitted by the sun, and, furthermore
there. is only sky space for 10000 such
disks. Some heat comes from MOON
light However, 1t is In quantities so
small that 1t cannot be measured by
ordinary instruments. Flammarion
says that the amount of heat emitted
by full moon while at Its zenith can
not be more than one eighty-thou-
sandth of the amount that the sun sup
plies when standing on the meridian
on favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case, 1t is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such wonderful
influence" over terrestrial affairs.

Home Sweet Home.

Stay, stay at home, my heart aud rest;
Homeseeking hearts are happiest.
For those that wander they know not
where,
Are full OF trouble and full of care.
To stay at home is best.
Home-the name made dear by sacred
associations, the place where childish feet
take their first faltering steps and infant
minds receive their first ideas. There
lessons of love and Truth, of right and
wrong, OF faith and hope and purity are
imprinted upon the plastic heart, and all
the sorrows and perplexities of after life
are inefficient to quite efface these first
deep true impressions. Sweet home
where the mothers gentle hands prepare
the little domestic comforts that fathers
love provides, and fillsl affection is "the
silver link, the silken tie' that binds the
household band together. Trials may
come and clouds may lower. but in the
seclusion of home remains sweet healing
for the wounds that brave and sensible
hearts hide from disdainful world.
There these hurts and distresses may be
confidently revealed and a sovereign
remedy found in its unquestioned faith.
There child's pure kiss or the touch of
dimpled fingers may revive soul on the
verge of despair; and in the home the
brightest dreams become more golden,
the rarest pleasure more intense, the
tenderest joys more serene. And if, in
the varying DEGREES of fortune, its loving
shelter must be abandoned, how the
exile folds about his heart, as the traveller
does his cloak, the memory of its lights
and flowers, its loves and hopes and
kindnesses. There the noblest influences
exist, the hollest impulses find express
sion, and there have been born the chaste
and lofty sentiments that have made a
whole world better.
