HELP FOR AGED BRITONS.
Proposed Plan of Financial Aid An.
 nounced In House of Commons,

HSdHSC0 OT SOHtrnOnSs
 London. May s.-Premier Asquith in presenting the budget to the house of commons announced his plan for the pensioning of the aged.
 Concerning the main feature, the matter of old age pensions, Mir. As quith said it had been decided to rule out all contributary schemes and pro- vide the pensions frem the national treasury.
 A universal scheme of pensions was outside the range of practical politics. In order that lunatics, criminals and persons now receiving poor law relief should be ineligible under the proposed system it had been decided to start with pension of $1.25 week to per sons over seventy years of age in pos session of incomes under S130 year.
 The premier estimated that the pen- sioners will not exceed 500.000 and that the cost of the scheme would be S30,000,Q00 year. Stringent condi- tions would be laid down for forfeiture and suspension. and if this was social ism. the premier declared, it was so- cialism of kind that both parties &C., cepted.
 As the scheme will not go into effect until Jan. 1, the cost for the current financial year will be only S6,000.0o0. leaving balance of S1S.500,O0O out of the estimated surplus of $24, 4,500,00e.

LONG LOST S12O, ,O0O, 900.
Dr Iberti to Head Search for Treas
 ure Sunk in 17O2.


 Dr Carlo Iberti is now in London | organizing a new quest for the big gest lost treasure ill the world. Its value is S120,GW,000, and it lies at the bottom of Vigo bay. in Spain. Num- | berless efforts have been made to re- cover this vast treasure, and various adventures have tished out of the sea depths valuables amounting to S1, 5O0.0O0. But all attempts to regain the bulk of the treasure have so far | failed.
 The Sl20,000.OO0 treasure has jain at the sea bottom since 1TO2. In that year the English and Dutch fleets at tackled Spain's treasure-bearing gall Icons and sent the greatest part of them to tEe bottom of the sea. Carlo Iberti has secured a conces- sion from the Spanish government which gives him the exclusive right to search for the treasure until 1915. Before settling about the work he is visiting European countries and studying in the original all ancient documents which may throw light up- on the exact position of the sunken ships.
 In order to overcome the difficulties met by former searchers, he has had special implements designed for the work by Cavaliere Giuseppe Pinto, the Italian inventor. The most import ant Of these is the hydroscOpe, an enormous sea-teleseope. consisting of floating platform and an. immensely strong tube. which may he elongated as desired. with powerful lenses at the end, enabling any one on the plat form to look down to the bottom of the sea.
 In addition are various new devices for raising the ships, so that they shall not he broken in the process. There are elevators consisting of cyl finders into which compressed air is pumped, each cylinder capable of raising forty tons out of the water: and there are mechanical arms em- bracing the hulIs. and boat pontoons each capable of bearing Il weight of 36a tons.
 Iberti has been preparing for this treasure hunt since 1alI Together with Pinto he explored the sea bed, as- sisted by q Spanish torpedo boat de- stroyer. Through the hydrosc0pe. the ships which had remained unseen for two centuries again became visible. The chief work was to discover the positions of the galIeons. to find out their names and dimensions. to note the depth of the mud in which they lie. and h fry the force of the cur rents.
 When these observations were made some ancient guns and pieces of wood were discovered. the wood being so we'll preserved that it was as hard as stone. DT Iberti then abandoned the work on the spot, and set out on his voyage Of discovery among an- eienf documents relating to Yigo. and it is this search which has brought him to London. As the result of his investigations. he Is confident of sal wing treasure of the value of at least s1ss. gBe. .ass.
 Apart from his gold and silver. the Spanish feet had on board merehzn- dfse 9f al least equal value Mast Of this must have been spoiled. but if is affirmed that the saIving Of the wood of which the EaIleoRs are built would repay many years of labor eXRe1aed ia recovering t.

SMOKING HAMS.
A Bucolic Art, the Memory of Which
 Sets the Epicure to Talking.

s1eN' thN ASpksuAt sho
 .'I read in the newspapers that beechnut fed ham from Virginia Is quite the rage in London" said the man who thinks he knows good eat ing, and I can understand it, for it's about the most tasty thing in the ham line we get these days.
 But cant help thinking that the ham I used to get in my boyhood had this Virginia product beaten. Maybe they have lost the trick of curing or smoking ham, or maybe my memory has run away with my imagination. 5
 However it is, I'd give a good deal for one of the hams that used to hang in the low ceiling farm house kitchen knew when I was boy 1 took great interest in those days ill watching the pig develop from its immature state, up through the age ing and fattening process, and then, in the final porcine metamorphosis, into spare ribs, and sausage, and ham and just plain pork.
 It was great day for me when they killed the pigs, especially if was allowed to assist. And the next day, when the pig was divided forci- bly into his component parts, was an other great day. "..
 We needn't follow the further disposition of these parts, except the hams. After being trimmed appro- priately they were taken to small outbuilding which contained nothing but huge brick oven. In this oven they were hung, and in the mouth of it a slow fire was kindled.
 Now, maybe it doesn't matter what fuel is used for that slow fSe, but the fire that smoked the hams my boyhood knew was fed with corn cobs and nothing else. The burning cobs gave off dense, pungent smoke. The hams were allowed to become saturated in this atmosphere for a day and then they were hung in the kitchen.
 "A few months and the ham would be eminently fit to tickle the most particular palate.
 Speaking of pigs reminds me of another delicacy which I have never seen in New York. That is souse. When you speak of souse in these parts you mean either the state of being pickled or drenched in alcohol or the person so pickled or drenched. The souse I refer to has no connec- tion, real or implied, with the souse of the barroom.
 "Souse-you eat it, by the way is first cousin to headchaese and a second cousin to Philadelphia scrap pie. Just what went into it I can't say exactly, but know that the pigs feet and the pigs head were the main ingredients.
 Some of the central section of the porker was included to give it body. When completed it resembled sau- sage meat in appearance but not in | taste. When it was to be eaten it 1 was sliced and fried
 Tn these days when pigs are | killed and cured and canned whole sale one longs for the time when such important matters were accom- plished at leisure and with careful attention to details"

GLAMOUR OF TITLES
Mime. Gould Tells Why Our Girls
 Wed Foreigners.
LOOK EASTWARD FOR IDEAL.
In Europe Are Supposed to Dwell the Heroes of Romantic Dreams-Ameri- can Men Good, but Commonplace, and Don't Play With Hearts.

Rome, May S-Mme. Anna Gould's quoted as follows in an interview with her reported by Jean Bonnefou, a French journalist:
 We Americans love French society because of the shortcomings of our own. To me France is the incarnation of the highest possibilities of elegance. l married French ,aristocrat because thought him the embodiment of fnesse, of high life.
 'sOf course I was disappointed, but saw Paris and learned that it doesn't do to differ from other people.
 "One has to learn. come from a country whose high society differs in every way from the French noblesse. At home woman spends the money that man earns.
 If French aristocrat marries one of our heiresses he expects her to be his banker. This wife banker must in vest all her money in an enterprise over which she has no control and that often yields her but a scant percent age. American girls, as a rule, do not see this side of the medal, but when it is brought home to- them in time-oh, how it hurts.
 Foreign -Marriasefa Rise In Life.
 "Mainly because they want to rise above the American mode Of life American girls seek European mar riage alliances-that is, marry titled foreigners.
 Tn the material things, in honesty and solidity of purpose the American man has no equal. We know that, we women do, but, nevertheless. turn to Europe in quest of the ideal man. On the old continent, we persuade our selves, dwells the hero of: our girlish dreams.
 T know now that this hero of our imagination is more oftenithan not but a gilded and beribboned manikin, but women will never believe it until they have found out for themselves. Moth ing surprises an American heiress whose marriage to a titled foreigner turns out badly more than the fact that her exquisite consort lacks heart. that muscle from which all our happi- ness should flow.
 American lIle has one great advan tage over the Parisian. At home We q, not affect feelings we are incapable c entertaining. We do not play wit hearts, neither with the wife's nor t children's.
 We have religion. was the wife Catholic, but in my heart of hearts always remained true to the faith oi my childhood. I am still Presbyte rian.
 T believe in religion as I do in love. To my mind neither permits of frivoli- ties"

CASHIER IN THE TOLLS.
Allegheny Official Accused of Taking
 S429,o00 of Banks Funds.

Pittsburg. May s. - William Mont. gomery, cashier of the Allegheny Ma tional bank for over twenty years, was arrested on charge of embedding S429,000 of the banks funds. He was arraigned before United States Com missioner ". T. Lindsay and held for the federal grand jury under bond of S50,000 which was furnished Ths financial standing of the bank is in nowise affected.
 According to Bank Examiner Folds, the peculations have been going on for several years and were covered up on the occasion of each visit of the ex- aminers by means of cashiers check. The bank maintained a cashiers fund, often amounting to as much as ST00.- GOO, it is said, and upon the appear ance of the examiner, it is alleged, the Cashier would merely send messen- ger to some other bank with his check for an amount necessary to cover the shortage. After the completion of the examination the check would be re- deemed.
 The recent dedication for more than S1,0O0,000 by two employees of the Farmers Deposit National bank is said to be indirectly responsible for the dis covery of the alleged crooked work in the Allegheny National.
 The Allegheny National is one of the older and generally regarded as one of the stronger institutions of the city. It the politics of western Pennsylvania. and its directors room was the scene of many important political confer ences. particularly during the life of the late Senator Quay. who frequently met his friends and lieutenants in this room.
 Mir. Montgomery has always been prominent in politics and was partic- ularly close friend of the late Senator Quay. He was also prominent socially and enjoyed the confidence and respect of a large circle throughout western Pennsylvania. News of his arrest cane as shock to his acquaintances and has caused a great sensation.
 Examiner Folds expressed the belief after making the charges that MT. Montgomery had used the funds of the bank to assist friends who were in tight places financially through poor investments or other causes. Those who know the cashier best feel posi- tive that he did not personally profit by his peculations.
 The state treasury has deposit of $532, ,221.S1 in the Allegheny National bank, of which S473.265.72 was fin the general fund and S5S.955.93 in the sink ing fund. The bank was an active de- pository and one Of the oldest in the list of the state. The state is secured by corporate security to the amount of S5n0 000
