By the detection of frauds in weigh

been recovered from the beneficiaries
of the fraud and an entirely new sys-
TEN free from the possibility of such
fraud has been devised. The de-

collecting duties at the port of New

upwards of ten or eleven million dol

There are entirely too many Gus

consolidated and the collectors in

ed for the consideration Of congress.
An investigation Of the appraising
system now in vogue in New York
city has shown a sacrifice OF the in
terests of the government by under
appralsement which is in the course
of being remedied by reorganization
and the employment of competent ex-
perts.
Very great Improvements have
been made in respect to the mints and
assay offices. There is an opportu-
nifty for further economy in the abo-
limition of several mints and assay Of

In the bureau of engraving and
printing great economies have been
effected.
In our public buildings we still suf-

expenses of the government, inclBd-
ing those for public buildings, rivers
and harbors and the navy building
program amount to $3.50 494 4013.12.
This is $52,964, ,SS7,365 less than the
appropriations for the fiscal year end
ing June 8, 1871. 1t is $l6,SS8 1894

mitted by the treasury for 1911. These
figures do not include the appropria-
tions for the Panama canal, the pol
lev in respect to which ought to be,
and is, to spend as much each year
as can be economically and effective
ly expended in order to complete the
canal as promptly as possible. 1t will
be noted that the estimates for the
Panama canal for the ensuing year
are more than fifty-six millions of
dollars, an increase Of twenty millions
over the amount appropriated for this
year a difference due to the fact that
estimates for 1912 include something
over 100000 for the fortifica-
ton Of the canal. Against the esti-
mated expenditures Of $500, ,494,0 ,013.-

for next year $6S0,000, 900, making a
probable surplus of ordinary receipts
over ordinary expenditures Of about
$50. 100000. or taking into account
the estimates for the Panama canal

The excellent results which have
attended the partial application of
civil service principles to the diplo-
matte and consular services are an
object lesson Of the benefit to be
wrought by a wider and more. per-
manent extension of those principles
to both branches of the foreign SER

During many years past appeals
have been made from time to time to
congress in favor of government own

government Of such suitable resi-

the congress the passage of some
measure that would authorize the

Estimates for next years expenses:
Every effort has been made by
each department chief to reduce the
estimated cost of his department for
the ensuing fiscal year ending June
30, 1912. These estimates thus made
present the smallest sum which will
maintain the department bureaus and
offices Of the government and meet
its other conditions under existing
law and tnat a cut Of these estimates
would result in embarrassing the ex-
executive branch Of the government.
This remark does not apply to the

those for expenses Of maintenance

Hair Menstrositlss.

French theater managers in the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie Anteinette, who was short, even
according to French standards, set the
fashion of high coiffures and ultra
fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops of their heads. These
structures took about six hours to
erect, the hairdresser mounting a lad
der In the process. Some coiffures
were almost as broad as they were
long, with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side of the head.
For the "frigate" couture the hair was
rippled in a huge pie to represent
the waves Of an angry sea and sur
mounted by a fully rugged ship. As a
consequence of these m~onstrosities,
disturbances in theaters occurred al
most daily until an ordinance was is
sued against the admission OF women
with high eoifures to the floor Of the
house.

Thrse Curious Bells.

There IS "a curious legend connected
with the bells of M~essingham church.
1t is said that a long, long time ago
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on a stiie In the churehyard and say
ing, "Come to church. Thompson ;come.
to church, Brown" and so on. Being
very much surprised, he asked what it
meant and was told that, having no
bells, they called folks to church in
this way. The traveller remarked that
1t was a pity 70 fine a church should
be without bells aud at the same time
asked the men IL they could make
three for the church, promising to pay
for them himself. They undertook to
do this. They were respectively a
tinker. a carpenter and a shoemaker.
When next the traveller passed that
way he eound the th=ee men ringing
three bells which said, "Ting, tong,

ty for acquaintance with the lectur-
er and preacher before the evange-
listic meetings begin. There's a
charm in the very name he bears.

man himself, which makes those
who become acquainted with him
want to hear him again.
DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor OF
the large Central Congregational
church, of Brooklyn, writes thus of
him: REV. William Spurgeen has
been upon many Chautauqua plat
forms where 1 have lectured and he
has preached for large and leading
churches, where l have had the priv
ilege of following him. His record
is one which fully sustains. the great
name he bears, both for graces and
gifts, and 1 trust that his inspiring
message will be heard for many
years to come on both sides of the

RALLY SERVICE
The Pastor Rev. DR.. G. w.
WiIding Lead the SPECIAL
Service Last Night.


At the Simpson Methodist Episco-
pal church last evening the general
mid-week rally service was well at
tended and was full of interest and
helpfulness. James e. Noe was in
charge of the singing and Miss Eliz-
abeth T. Beers presided at the piano.
The meeting was conducted by
the pastor and his subject was:
THE Christian Family, and Their
Earthly Home" In his opening ad-
dress the pastor said thai the church
of Jesus Christ on earth was a fam
lily, and is SO spoken of in the Bible.
We have one common Father, the
great God in Heaven. Jesus Christ
is the Elder Brother of us all. To-
gether with Him we inherit the
divine estate. NOW then we are
heirs of God and joint heirs with
Jesus Christ" We have the kindred
spirit and feel the drawing Of the
sweet bonds of a tender relationship.
We all have the family affection and
regard one for another, A common
interest moves us to follow In the
footsteps of our great Leader and
strive to meet Him in the Heavenly
Home.
The church of Christ is the home
of this family while they tarry in
this world. The visible temple be-
comes a precious place to Gods
people during the years of their pill
grimage here. 1t is not a perma-
nent home. Here we have no abid-
ing city but seek that which is to
come" 1t is simply a temporary
lodging place. a green and shady
spot ON this earth where we may be
rested and refreshed on our journey.
1t is quite enjoyable because per-
fectly congenial:
THE fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above.p
o 1t is helpful; the services of the
sanctuary cheer and strengthen us
on our way. 1t becomes to us all a
very sacred place, and it is a type
and vision OF Heaven. What could
we do without Gods house?
At least a dozen of the company
present spoke feelingly of their love
for the temple of the Lord.
This evening is to be the Young
Peoples Night, to be conducted by
Miss Marina Craze, and everybody
is invited to be present. The gem
eral subject of the evening will be:
1.-THE Power and Influence of the
Young People" Miss Craze will

.ers will follow him. A duet will be

He Was Too Enthusiastic.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon
est horse trader. He would not lie
about a horse, He would merely sup
press the truth. incidentally he always
beat the customer who dealt with him.
The way he could slur over the de-
fects and buzz about the virtues of an
animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor a horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The
neighbor knew Hank would not lie
outright to him, so he questioned the
horse trader as to the various points
of the brute.
''How about his eyesight? Can he
see out OF both eyes?'
"Snre,' said Hank. He's got good
eyes" Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly s%cintillating with sup
pressed honesty "one eye is-partieu-
larry goodr'

carried him too far. The deal was of.
