ECoEC.TY, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
 The country at large has had a long decade of reckless extraya- gance. and the rich mans panic" has interyened to check the wild and vicious course, and to set up the reFisionary principle oi rational economy in both the public and private budgets of tie people every where. Itis m excellent thing for all of us that the stringency has come, since Be have the lesson without the crushing bitterness of 8 universal panic, and may make good use of the hint, still possess ing the resources for improvement that otherwise would not have been left us. We will enter the new year of 1908 with q realizing sense of the necessities of the hour and may plan and prospect our course through its term to an advantage that will measure immensely to our credit as 8 nation even fl its sums 0; profit shall be greatly less than usual.
 We have been fixing too exalted | limit on our aims and it is healthful to descend. once in while, to the commoner levels of equity and sobriety and prudence, and take q new start. Nothing can keep us from ascending again, and with an abiding faith in that prin- ciple of success, we can afford to step backward to gather impetus for the fresh leap, and make it more solid and cleaner basis,
 The doctrine of retrenchment ap. plies to the whole gamut of human affairs and through the private systems as well as the public lines of endeayor and cost; and its ben efts are equally universal.

THAT FLEET OF OURS

Most people think that the voy- age of the squadron of warships now on is way to the Pacific Coast Is nothing out of the ordinary. Here are a few items that bear on He subject;
 In the first place, the intended toate from Hampton Roads around sha Hort to San Francisco, thence across the Pacific, through the h. dian ocean, the Red Sea, the length oi the Mediterranean, and across 9 he atlantic; is about 44000 knots practically twice the circumfer- enee Of the globe.
 To push the thirty-fye vessels that distance at an average speed Of twelve miles an hour requires S40.000 tons of coal. This coal would form a single cone 327 feet high and 416 feet across the base.
 Ii the fourteen thousand officers and men would lie down, head to foot. there would be fifteen miles 5t them.
 These men will consume 100000 loayes of bread, or one loaf 860 feet long, 80 feet wide and so feet deep.
 About 3,23o,000 pounds of beef viii be used-enough to form one Steer whose back would reach the top of the tallest forest tree and who could not walk in the widest city street.
 There will be used 10S, ,500 pounds of turkeys; 26O,000 eggs; 33.000 pound each of fresh pork loins and fresh veal; 22.000 pounds of fresh country sausage; 430,000 pounds of potatoes; 10S,500 pounds of on- ions; 22,000 pounds of prunes; 55,000 pounds each of timed apri- cots, pears, peaches, Lima and string beans, evaporated milk and condensed milk; 1o9,500 pounds each of canned peas, tomatoes and corn; and 11,000 gallons of tomato catsup.
 If the combined force of all the guns of the fleet were applied to one gun, it would hurl the proiec- tie weighing 250,000 pounds from

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

The postmaster-general of the United States, in his latest report to the president, unqualifedly rec onmends the establishment of postal savings banks throughout the country and urges many excel lent and specific reasons why this institution should be inaugurated. Chief among the very tangible con alterations he presents in behalf of his theory is the prime essential Of governmental regulation and responsibility over the savings of the common people which are now known to run into hundreds of millions of dollars.
 Without going into the details of efficiency and safety and conven- fence which he submits in extenu- ation Of his plain championship of the measure. II Is enough to say that it is wholly 6 popular idea and has the sanction and fine ex- ample of many a foreign establish ment that has proved beyond all doubt those things he claims for it; and we hope to see the proposition thoroughly thrashei out in the present congress and eventually launched upon wholesome and ef- fectiye lines. We can afford to take so excellent a cue from our friends abroad, especially when it contributes so manifestly and large ly to the good of the people who need everything in the way of pro- lection they can get.

1T WOULD BE SIMPLE.
Complied with, Escape
from Hotel Was Easy.

In the days before the dawn Of his
fame it was the practice of certain
well known author to wander up and
down the land seeking what he might
devour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drift
ed down into Arkansas, "roughing it,
and not, as he expresses it, presenting
an appearance calculated to inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited conf
dence.
The only hotel in the town, a frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was straight drop to the
ground.
"Say, how would / get out of this
place in case of fre?" he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his
grip.
The other eyed him coldly.

have to do would be to show ther

No Criticism to Make.

Mrs. Ewfa Williams, the English So

York about the fashion of riding
astride that has taken hold Of English
equestriennes.

Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear a long coat cut like
a hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches
and top boots It is handsome cos
tune and 1t is not immodest, but I'M
doubtedly it attracts good deal OF
attention They have been telling in
London lately a story about an Eng
lish girl who has adopted this riding
rig. Pulling up her horse one after
noon she said to an artisan who was
passing: Can you tell me if this is the
way to Wareham?

PUT RELIGIOUS Du7Y SECOND.
Stern Laws of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance OF an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Arner1-
can Israelite, discharged clerk On &C
count of elect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his priVi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a: religious man,
maintained that "if Moses had known
that man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent lac would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in IA
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right of
the clerk without the consent OF the
employer"

A Fish Story,

''Trout protection! Nonsense!" said
a gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at it's leisure and swims away
out Of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories"
