washington, Dec. 7-tspeciar-- Everybody seems to be asking. in view of present developments, what. exactly. is Nicaragua. how large Is 1t, what are its resources. commerce and climate? Some Interesting compari- sons and facts, prepared by the Inter- lies. will help to answer these pertf- nent natural questions.
 There is only four square miles diff ference between the area of Nicaragua and the state of New York. Take Connecticut out of New England, and Nicaragua would cover the rest of 1t. It is approximately half the size of the State of Washington. To be ex- act. 1t covers 4s,200 square miles. which is larger than Holland, Bell gfum and Denmark combined.
 1t has a remarkable extent of coast Une on two oceans. On the Carib- bean. 1t reaches nearly 300 miles due north and south; on the Pacific. 1t extends 225 miles. It's greatest width s 276 miles, or approximately the dis- <nnce from Washington to New York. Its least width is 126 miles, or ap- proximately the distance from Chica- go to the Mississippi river.
 Has SmnII Population.
 It has the smallest population of any Central American country. but is correspondingly capable of great ma- terial development. There are only about s00,000 people within its lim- It's. Of these. k.ye-sixths are upon the Western or Pacific side. The and is drained by many rivers. The

Court of Appeals Tells Public Service
 Commission of Its Duties.
 Albany, N Y., Dec. 1--The Court of Appeals defined the powers of the Public Service Commission this after noon. The Commission must not sim ply see to it that the railroad corpor- ations maintain their equipment. tracks and road-bed in good and safe order and give proper service. but they must also prevent fraud on the public by the manipulation of the stock market through tho oyer-issus of stocks and bonds.
 The court holds that the Legislature did not intend to make the Commis> sion the financial manager of corpor- ations or empower 1t to substitute it's judgment or discretion for that Of the directors and stockholders of a corporation, for the ownership of property carries with it the right of occupancy and management
 The decision was in & case holding that the Delaware and Hudson Com pany should have been authorized to issue about s7,000.00o in bonds to pay indebtdness incurred by the purchase of the Hudson Valley Railway Con- pany and certain undeveloped lands in Pennsylvania.

If any one would tell you that you could invest 35 and save $500 thereby. you would laugh at his "get-rich- ouick' scheme. Yet in almost every home today thousands of dollars worth of time and worry and delay and un- happiness might be saved if one would stock up in few little conveniences.
 First of all, dnvest dollar in wrap ping paper of different sorts and also in paper bags of various sizes. It IS all we'll to smooth out the paper that comes around store packages, but have you never noticed that when you want to wrap a parcel you never can ma piece of that carefully saved paper which Is the proper size and weightf If you want a piece of tissue paper you have to scurry all over the house and at last steal piece from one Of your hat boxes. in all probability. Why not buy some tissue paper and some medium weight wrapping paper and some heavy wrapping paper? You can get great supply of all three for dollar. and you will have the satis- faction of always having fresh paper of the right sort at hand when you need 1t. And your impromptu packages won't have such dilapidated, weary appearance.
 And after the paper buy two balls of string. One ball of light weight white string and the other of the stout strong grayish cord with which big packages are tied. You won't need to spend precious minutes untangling odd lengths of string and winding them on ball. They always are too snort or too long when you go to use them Buy two whole balls of string and have a comfortable time. It pays.
 Suggestion from @the once"
 Next, I would suggest that you take an idea from your husbands business office and buy box of paper clips. a box of assorted rubber bands, and box of office pins. You will never know how much you need all three un- til you have them.. They are useful in a thousand ways. and when they are at hand they are regular little house. hold fairies.
 Next thing on the list is a good eigh- teen-inch rule. No, a yardstick will not do. An eighteen-inch rule with a brass edge Is what you need. and I hope you will get 1t and enjoy 1t. You will find that measuring for draperies, cushion covers, and uph obstetrics Is now an easy matter.
 It may seem stupid to suggest the next article, but get them anyway and see how much you have missed them, a bunch of soft lead pencils and It, tie sharpener. What a convenience for market and shopping listsl And a few turns of the sharpener insure you easy writing. Unless. as with so many women. your only pencil has been chewed off stub. you will never know true joy until you have a dozen sharp | pencils for your own.
 TacIks Next on the List.
 The next purchase should be three boxes of tacks--two sizes of ordinary | tacks and one package of brass-headed | tacks. You might add a couple of dozen of thumb tacks, too, and put ! them in a little box inside your letter clips. If you haven't a tack hammer. get one of those. too. It will be in- expensive. and you need never again drive tacks with the heel of your slip per or with the back of your hair brush.
 Last of all. let me urge you to buy ?

Some Interesting Comparisons
 on Nicaragua and i1er People

only industry of this section is the growing of bananas which were shipped in 1908 to the number of l. 500,o00 punches. valued at 50 cents bunch.
 The principal town here is Biue- fields. little south of the center, having 5000 inhabitants. It Is 1.ls6 miles from New Orleans and BIO miles from Colon. The only other fmpor- tant places on this east coast are Greytown, at the southern point, with 1000 inhabitants, near the mouth of the San Juan river, which was to have been the course of the Isthmian Canal if built through Nicaragua, and Cape Gracias a Dios. at the northern point, with only 1,5o0 people.
 on the populated Pacific slope the chief cities are Leon. the historic and interesting old capital. with 60,000 in-, habitants; Managua. the present capi- talt, with 10000; Matagafpa, with 16.- 00o: Granada. with 12.0e0. and sever al other towns of from 5000 to 10000. The principal port of the Pacific side is Corinto, near the northern end. with only about 1000 people. At the southern end is the harbor of San Juan del Sur.
 There is one railroad in Nicaragua which starts at Corinto and runs to Managua and thence across to Gran ada on Lake Nicaragua. which is the largest inland body of water in all to Nicaragua. he can take steamers on the Atlantic side from New York, New Orleans or Mobile. Going by Pacific he will take steamers from San Fran cisco or from coast points of other countries. Perhaps the quickest way to reach it today is either through Mexico by rail and by steamer from Gal Sna @n n4r h.rn n4n from New Orleans direct to Blue fields. The latter journey generally takes about four days. If, however, one lands on the east coast, 1t is practically impossible to go to the west coast on account of the lack of railroads and other facilities. A com- mon way to go to the west coast IS
 Value of Trade.
 The total value of the foreign trade of Nicaragua in 1908 amounted to ST.. 5o0,o0o. of which exports were s4.- 500,000. and imports $3,000.000. Nic- aragua bought from the United States textiles. clothing, machinery, etc. val ued at $l.300,000. She sold to the United States, bananas, coffee, rubber, mahogany. cattle, hides, etc., valued at s1.050,oo0.
 Nicaragua has a president. cabi- net with five ministers or secretaries, thirteen departments or states, and five divisions like our territories. Its national assembly consists of only one chamber which is now in session.
 Lying between 10 degrees, 45 min utes and 14 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, and between S3 degrees II minutes and s7 degrees 40 minutes west longitude, 1t is located all with in the tropics, but it has a consid- erable variety of climate. Although the east coast is low-lying and very warm, the central and western sec tions are in parts so mountainous and elevated that the temperature never reaches 0 high point and the climate can be considered salubrious. The western section, in which the greater part of the population Is located, has such a varying latitude, and the coun- try Is so broken with lakes and so

London. Dec. 7.---The House of Lords, the highest court in Great Britain to- day dismissed the appeal of the cxecu- tors of the estate of w. L. Winans. of Baltimore, who died in England in 1897 against the levy of death duties on the part of the American million aires estate.

Winans was domiciled within the United Kingdom and that there fore the duties on the estate should be paid. The executor appealed the case to the House of Lords.
