the treasury to do vast deal of pure
guessing. Many secretaries of the
treasury have appealed for the elimi-
nation of that requirement, but con-
gress has not consented Among other
things the secretary of the treasury is
required to tell congress how much the
revenues will amount to for a PERIOD
the close of which is eighteen months
ahead of the time he figures. Secre-
tary Macy eagh believes that the re-
ceipts for the current fiscal year, end
ing June 80 next will be $64S, 100000
and for the fiscal year after that
1912 100000. That would leave a de-
felt for the year which ends June 80
next of $34,000,0O0 and more, but
means a surplus of almost 100000
for the fiscal year of 1911. AS there
is now none too much money in the
treasury vaults for the necessary
working balance, the deficit between
now and July l will amount to such
proportions that the secretary says
bonds or certificates of Indebtedness
must be sold soon.
But his report proper. which he wrote
out with his own hand-which is an
exception in such cases with cabinet
officers-is full of other important mat
tiers. He urges ''retiring pensions F"
for civil service employees of the de-
partment. While it is true that several
other cabinet officials have made SINH
lar recommendations this year, the word
of the secretary of the treasury in that
direction is especially notable. Many
of the old and superannuated clerks are
in that department. Some of them have
served the government since before the
Civil War He wants a settlement of
the Indebtedness of the Panama Canal

an early date That indebtedness now
amounts to over $97 ,000.0 900. which is
the cost of the canal. minus the pro-
eeeds of sales of canal bonds to date,
and the Indebtedness is growing every
day with the cost of the current oper-
atoms on the isthmus.
Such a settlement means the pay
ment, at least in part, of the indebt-
edness through the sale of more bonds,
authority for which has been granted
by congress. But it brings up the
troublesome question of the rate of in
terest on bonds. The secretary says
that the per cent bonds, upon which
the national banks have already in
cured a loss of about $4,000 900,

ton based on two per cents is only one
half of l per cent. There is much more
of technical character regarding re-
lief of the treasury from its present
plight as to government bonds.
The secretary adds that there have
been "alarming revelations in the
conditions at New York which have
permitted such extensive frauds as
have been praetised in the importations

tom has proceeded on an enormous

BOND ISSUE Is

A bond issue is in sight. A reor-

thing that can be said of very few of

this period of the official year.
Something about the cost of running
the United States government is shown
by Secretary MacVeagh. He estimates
that it will require $671 ,2sS, 075.2l but
there are supplemental estimates yet
to come in and it will not be very
wide Of the mark to say that the total
estimates will be round 500, 000,0 600

Substitute for Small Chance.

A souvenir of the civil war came
into the hands of a delicatessen mer-
chant in New York a few days ago
which showed how scarce small
change must have been In those days.
1t was a green three-cent postage
stamp, encased in thin metal frame
the size of an old copper cent. The
face of the stamp was protected by
a disk of mica. On the reverse side
the improvised coin was stamped
Good for three cents This queer
substitute for money was given along
with other small change by a woman
who said it was the last of number
Of similar pieces which she had owned
for many years, and the man who
took the combination stamp, mica and
tin for three cents in speaking of it,
said: The woman looked as if she
was prosperous once and was sorry to
give up the piece

remarkable society cycle race in
which Countess 1lona Sethlen beat
the beautiful and athletic Princess
Letitia, Duchess d'Aosta, fervent de-

Barato, the most famous professional
woman cyclist in Italy The latter, it
is said, was promised $4,000 by we'll
known firm OF cyclist manufacturers

Barato, however, was beaten by both
her titled rivals. The winner of the
race was, of course, the youngest of
the ladies. She is the daughter of the

Want to Wear Mustaches.

At meeting of the domestic serv-
ants in Paris to discuss their griev-
ances one, and not the least impor-
tant, question was whether domestic
servants should not be allowed like
their fellow-Frenchmen, to cultivate
the mustache. 1t was suggested that
to give the movement some sort of en-
couragement nothing would be better
than that the servants at the Elysee
should be the first to agitate for the
privilege. The Gaulois says that this
has been done, the employees at the
presidents residence having trans
mitted to NJ Fallieres a request that
henceforth they shall be allowed TO
wear mustaches.

Divorce,

Divorce is remedy for evil rather
than an evil in itself" declared Chief
Justice Emery of Maine, in recent
address. Marriage he defined as a
civil institution, established by law
for the benefit of man, and he sug-
gested that the divorce laws could be
perfected in three ways-frst, by
granting no divorce until husband and
wife had lived apart for a year; sec
ond, by publishing the suits in the
daily papers; third, by giving the
court authority to delay hearings, If
necessary, SO that they cannot be
rushed through as is sometimes the
case now,-New York Tribune.

GOOD WORK AMONG FlLlPlNos.
Women's Club Responsible for Amel.
ioration of Conditions.

The Philippine Women's club, the
first of its kind in the Philippines, is
struggling to supplement its work of
supplying sterilized milk to siclSly. Ill
led infants by establishing small
maternity hospital and training class
for maternity nurses. This club was
due TO a suggestion from Miss Con-
cepcion Felix, who was at the time a
student of law and who in the course
of her studies became interested in the
woman movement in the western
countries. This was in the summer Of
1905, and Miss Felix's suggestion was
so enthusiastically received that a
club with a membership of several
hundred native women was quickly
formed.
Having determined to establish
center for the distribution of pure
milk, the club gave a garden party in
the palace grounds for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds More
than $1,000 was cleared at this enter
tainment and the sterilizing apparatus
was imported from Paris. A building
was contributed by DR.. Doherty and
the work begun under the personal
supervision of a number of well-known
Filipino physicians.
At present the number of children
cared for is between so and Is. The
sterilizing department is said to be a
little model of its kind.
