THE French newspapers are printing
decidedly Frenchy story, to the effect
that the financial stringency in the
United States was brought about as a
pretext to give this country an oppor-
tunity to borrow gold preparatory to
going to war with Japan. 1t is claim
ed that this country has under consid-
Grafton the idea of making a short
term loan for the purpose Of absorbing
all the gold that has just been export
ed. 1t is generally understood that the
French are a very imaginative kind

THERE is a general feeling of salts
faction among the bankers of the
country at the action of the treasury
department in proposing the issuance of
$4,000, 900 Of Panama canal bonds and
$10O,OOO,O00 of treasury certificates,
and it is believed both in this country
and Europe that such action will al
most at once cure the present situa-
tion.

The cotton will be held subject to
the order Of the consignee and when
it Is finally sold 1t is agreed that the

Washington, Nov. II, 1907.
my dear Mr.. Cortelyou:
II have considered your proposal.
approve the issue Of the fifty millions
Of Panama bonds, which will be imme-
ately available as the basis for addi-
tional currency. ! also approve the is
sue Of $100,000,000, or so much as you
may find necessary Of $50 per cent
interest bearing government notes, the
proceeds Of the sale Of which can be
at once deposited by you where the
greatest need exists, and especially in
the west and south, where the crops
have to be moved. / have assurance
that the leaders Of congress are con-
sidering a currency bill which will
meet in permanent fashion the needs
Of the situation and which believe
will be passed at an early date after
congress convenes two weeks hence.
What is most needed just at pres
ent Is that our citizens should realize
how fundamentally sound business
conditions in this country are. and
how absurd II is to permit themselves
to get into a panic and create a
stringency by. boarding their savings
instead Of trusting perfectly sound
banks. There Is no particle Of risk
involved in letting business take its
natural course, and the people can
help themselves and the country most
by putting back into active circulation
the money they are boarding. The
banks and trust companies are SOL

are facts; and l appeal to the public
to cooperate with us in restoring nor
NAL business conditions. The govern
ment will see that the people do not
suffer II only the people themselves
will act in a normal way. Crops are
good and business conditions are
sound; and we should put the money we
have into circulation in order to meet
the needs of our abounding prosperity.
There Is no analogy at all with the way
things were in 1893. On. November
Goth Of that year. there was in the
treasury but $161, 100000 in gold. On
November 18th of this year there was
in the treasury $904,000,000 Of gold.
Ten years ago the circulation per cap

step that you now take, the ability OF
the government to back them up, and
the fact tnat not partlcle Oh r1Sk ls
involved therein give the fullest guar
antees Of the sound condition OF our
people and the sound condition Of our
treasury. All that our people have to
do now Is to go ahead with their nor
NAL business in normal fashion and
the whole difficulty disappears: and
this end will be achieved at once II
each man will act as he normally does
act and as the real condition Of the
country's business fully warrant his
now acting.

During the month of February
the dead letter office handled l..
O50,303 pieces of estrayed or un-

ed practically all of them to the

totaled nearly $4,000. Here is a
lesson upon haste and bad writ

letter to go astray If properly di-

the cases miscarriage of mail or

The End Of the Earth.

The ancient Persians believed in
the renovation of the earth. A
comet in the course Of it's revolu-
lions will strike the earth and set it
on fire. Rivers of molten metals
will float down the mountains and
deluge the valleys. All men must
pass through these streams. The
good will find them like baths OF
milk. The evil will find them like
torrents of lava, but they will be
purified thereby and finally will join
the good upon the new earth and
sing praises to the eternal source OF
all. This belief was held also
among the American Indians and
the Hindoos. The Egyptians believ-
ed the earth would be destroyed by
fire and water. The Chaldeans said
that when all the planets met in
the sign of Capricorn the earth
would be overwhelmed with del
uge of water, and whenever they
all met in Cancer it would be con-
sumed by fire.

of ants, and that could readily be done
by watching colonies ia their artificial
formicaries 1t Is almost impossible
to deal with spiders In the same way.
I would answer. however: in general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in sIumber. Many species.
however, prey on the night~fying in
aects, and SO must be awake in order
TO catch their prey. II you will watch

that they may then take little nap

Puss I'm HISTORY.
The Cat Has Been an Important Per-
sonaae In Many kations.

sona0e In Many Nations.
Miss Pussy not only boasts an
ancient history, but as far back as
history goes she has been quite an
important parsonage. The Egyp-
tians reverenced cats. They had a
hospital for sick kittens, and such
as died were embalmed and buried
with much ceremony. Mourning
was also worn by the family to
whom the beloved kitten belonged.
This mourning was not black
clothes, but shaved eyebrows.
Though the Egyptians do not do
quite so much in these days, they
still think. a great. deal Of cats.
They have high officer called ia
Their of cats, and near. Cairo is 9
building where every day feast is
spread, to which are invited all the
cats of the city. No doubt you
have heard the story of Cambyses
coming to fight the Egyptians and
taking advantage Of their. reverence
for cats by fastening before every
soldiers breast live cat. OF course
the Egyptians dared not hurt these
cats, and so they were conquered.
The Chinese are likewise fond OF
cats, but, sad to say for the cats, it
is in stew.
In Rome and also in London the
owners of cats pay man a certain
sum of money monthly, and every
day he walks through the streets
uttering a peculiar cry. All cats
| know him and come from all direc-
tions to get their dinner. He is
called "the cats meat man." Cats
have always been highly valued in
Wales. They are kept about grana-
ries to catch rats. In the old days
anybody stealing one of these cats
had to give for her sheep or q
lamb. Should the cat chance to be
killed she was hung up by the tail
until her head touched the floor
and wheat poured over her until the
tip of her tail was covered. All this
wheat the thief had to give to the
cats owner.
The United States government
keeps more than 800 cats in the
postoffce department to guard the
mails from rats and mice. Before
these cats were employed valuable
letters were often destroyed. These
pussies are well fed, $40 year be-
ing allowed for each cats meat.
The Japanese brighten away their
mice and rats with china cats.
These are made so ifelike that
when a candle is placed inside che
figures the mice imagine them to be
real cats and run for their lives
