where the gifts are gathered, says the
writrr in the Philadelphia Press.
Tin goods may be brought in con-
cea1ed in a mysterious express package
which the bride opens. Handkerchiefs
can be tucked away in cotton snow
balls ard the bride pelted with these.
General trifes may decorate a belated
Christmas tree which may be one cut
for the purpose or simply a growing one
on the lawn.
Books may be trundled in upon a
w~heelbarrow covered with wood shaw
inss, and SO on.
For a kitchen shower Zach guest may
be asked bring with her pan or dish
a good recipe for something that can
be. cooked In it. The hostess presents
a pretty recipe book, In which the
formulas are inserted on the spot.
Usually a shower is followed or pre-
coded. according to convenience, by a
luncheon or a light buffet lunch.
Very lovely for the table decorations
at the more formal of these plans are
the white lilac blooms. These are oh
tainable in the country in time for
spring ante-nuptial entertaining, and a
bowl or vase OF them makes a beau
tiful c~enterpiece. Place cards can be
painted with white lilac sprays by the
girl who is good at water color work,
and the color scheme of white. and
green can be carried throughout the
decorations.
III Brides Entertainment.
Shortly before the wedding comes the
brides formal farewell to happy girlt
hood, usually in the form of a luncheon
to her bridesmaids and intimate
friends. This, too, can be easily and
delightfully."- managed at home. Here
is a spandy new plan for the table
decoration s=.4esS&eaG4E-s- sAs 4
Take a barrel hoop twenty inches in
diameter n carefully wind or bind it
with white SILICA or c~heeseclot1.
Take the little rosebud c~andleholders
which come for decorating birthday
cakes and stick them securely in the
top of the hoop about two inches
apart.
Now Irvine smilax around the hoop
until 1t resembles a wreath. Put white
candles into the holders and suspend
the pretty thing two feet above the
table centre, using white satin ribbons
to depend 1t. Orange blossom or
eyringa. when it a be obtained, ear
be substituted for the smilax.
Below the wreath have a low circular
bed made up of little n~osegays of
white and green which are distributed

Most girls love to work over such an

is apt to bring almost any desirable

handksrchiefs and stockings are show

Canned goods and preserves and
pickles OF all kinds make a popular
choice for a girl who Is to keep house.

THE DEPLETED TREASURY.

The L. :. Treasury Is again showing
signs Of distress. The July statement
of its condition was made highly opti,
mistic through the sale in June Of the
$50, 100000 in Panama canal bonds
But now the statement for August
shows a deficit of s22,oO0,O 900, with an
uncertain outlook for the coming
months,
1t was this unfsvorable condition OF
the treasury which caused Chairman
Underwood of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House to halt in his
wool programme, aud to declare to Sen.
ator La Toilette that the House would
not agree to the wool reduction which
he proposed; for. first of all il is
necessary 10 provide revenue TO run
the government. And this view OF the
case. added to his other powerful rea.
sons, form complete Justification for
President Taft in his veto Of the wool
bill He showed in that veto that er.
roneous calculations had thrown Mr..
Underwood out altogether on the prob.
able revenue that would be derived
from the imports Of wool on the sched.
ule which he adopted. And it appears
that the veto was, besides its other
merits, protective measure to the
treasury.
But "the best tariff ever does not
seem to be vindicating itself. even as
much as the Wilson tariff bill had vim

ITS HOMILY ON TAXES.

We are glad TO see in the Smoot or
gan q poster-dodger editorial uPbraid
ing the county authorities for not re-
duciDg taxes. II should also have up
braided the State authorities for un.
dertaking 10 boost valuations beyond
greater revenues for the Federal bunch
to squander, But the organ. as usual
took limited view of the matter, and
considered only the taxation as relates
to the city and the county And even
here il omitted to give the city admin
istration the credit which is its due for
reducing the tax levy by two mills this
year as compared with last year 8 levy.
The organ proceeded to show that
there has been large increase in the
assessed valuation of the city and
county. and it stated that the county
commissioners ought to have reduced
the county levy This The Tribune in,
sisted upon some time ago 1t is tho
truth: the county taxes ought to have
been reduced quite as much as the city
taxes were reduced, or even more for

growing metropolis, a splendid
spirit of enterprise and progress, and
a heavy demand for expenditures; yet,
in response to the increased valuation,
the city government voluntarily re-
duced the city tax levy this year by
two mills, The organ, as heretofore,
rails at the city for the taxation left,
claiming ignorantly that the reduction
should have been more; but as the
city is doing very well to reduce by
two mills. While giving no credit to
the city government for the vast i'm
provemeu,s made, the organ grumbles
at the smallness of the tax reduction.
1t could hardly, however, make any
showing against the city even fall
lacious showing, without saving some
thing in criticism of the county gov
erument keeping up the tax levy at a
high figure and beyond all reason con
sideriDg the increased valuation on the
assessment roll. Its purpose was solely
to censure the city, and to do so it
made a small criticism of the county.
This homily of the organ serves the
purpose, however, of drawing attention
again to the fact that the American
city government has reduced the taxa
tion Of the city by two mills, and that
it is the only taxing entity which we
have that has made any reduction at
all

making n direct connection with power
or lighting wires
The demonstration made is claimed
to have been a complete success; and
it is said that many of the fruit grow
ers of eastern Washington are prepar-
ing to put in this electrical device for
destroying the orchard pests. The
method as described would seem to be
nationally practicable The pests do
fly about a good deal at night, and un-
doubtedly would be attracted by the
electric lights. The device OF wiring
the lamps, 1t is claimed, would not in
vove any great cost, and a whole or
chard could be cleansed in few nights
by the use OF this device. And thus
we live and learn and progress in the
effective utilities of the time.
