TREASURY BALANCE OF ss,ooo,ooo

At the close of business on March 31, the United States treasury showed a working balance of three millions against a deficit of nineteen millions at the same time last year, a gain of sfs.000, 900. which shows the new tariff measure has been working well as a deficit overcomer since it was passed
 Treasury officials attribute the fa- vorable gains mostly to increasing re- ceipts from internal revenue. Custom. receipts declined $13,100,000.
 With a working balance on hand of s3i.ooo,0oo the condition of the treas ury is considered much strengthened The balance in the general fund has risen to sse.4oo.o0o- The total cash ,ir the treasury shows a gain of almost 5000, 900 for March. and stands today at s1.794.S57.S51. probably the largest amount ever held there. The piline up of gold coin continues. During March about s1o.o00.000 was taken in exchange for gold certificates.
 The nations finances will be further strengthened between now and July 1. when $25,000,0 GOO will be coming in from the corporation tax. The pro- posed bond issue. probably of $5o,. 100000, if Secretary Macvcagh finally decides to put his present plans into action. will reinforce the cash drawer still further .sssa A
 There does not appear to be any necessity for everlasting the tariff to any further extent than the president has pointed out; and a general assault and revision will disturb the business of the country for the next two years

AN AUSTRALIAN NAVY.

The yellow peril .as created a night mare in Australia and a movement for navy to protect the country against the Japanese, or any other aggressive Asiatie nation, has become intense. -.
 There is a plan on foot to build . navy which will cost s115,o00. 900 and take 2z years te perfect, and as that is longer than the life of the best bat tleship afroat. the first ships will havt become useless when the last are com pleted: but they could use their old fivs-mi1lion- dollar ships for targets and 60 right on putting out millions and seeing millions wasted because of d fear which of itsel- tends to breed bloodshed. ~
 Australia isn't quite popt ous enough to cultivate the military spirit and the extravaganza of a modern naval fleet pat when she gets into it she will have a burden such as she never dreamed of and one that cannot be shaken.
 John Bull is not likely to protest for every" battleship the provinces build is to his advantage, and may help him to tighten his own burdey Every ship leaves his home fleet the stronger and adds to the strength of his navy.
 Australia is aroused and the cry for an Australian navy is too strong to be resisted.

 They are the cause of. many of the ills from which humanity suffers and are the foes alike to long life and good temper. Persons who wish to be healthy in body and sunny and alert in mind, especially those leading sedentary lives, should never eat them. They cause what is known as starch indigestion
 The doctor thinks that the best use of potatoes is the manufacture of starch and denatured alcohol for power and ilIuminative purposes.
 We all know quite bit about pota- toes; and they have no disease -creat ing record and we have not thought to attribute bad temper to them. Like other good things they have combined with grease disturbed delicate stom- achs, and eaten to excess produce unpleasantSresults.
 The Saratoga chips are still popu- lar, and the onion fry has not lost it's hold upon the people, Calico-hash ana. the hshba1l are favorite combinations, and it will take more than the caution ary word of an isolated Ohio doctor to alarm potato eaters, for they en- joy as good health as any one in the community generally.

REASONABLE SPEED.

The framers of the reasonable speed auto law certainly expected the law would please the automobilists all though it was severely knocked by the press.
 It was found when the courts came to interpret the law that reasonable speed had it's limit, for they fixed it a. twenty five miles an hour, and this has been accepted by rational men in- terested.
 The movement in the legislature to amend the law to unreasonable speeo by making the legal pace ten miles faster than the courts have allowed reasonable speed to be, shows that the automobile agitators are really satis- fled with nothing, and they are the ones who are exceeding the reasonable rate of speed today, and other wise provisions of the present law, one oi which forbids the passing of trolley car at g standstill at a rate of speeo in excess of three miles an hour.
 Thirty-fve miles an hour is higher rate of speed than the passenger trains of New England are making today or steel rails and firm roadbeds-it is dangerous to travel and to the occu- pants of motor cars for which it is asked and should not be granted.
 The farmers have had trouble enough with motor cars at a reason able rate of speed, and they will richly deserve all the added abuses il they in the legislature consent to a speed which increases the peril ol travel in all parts of the state.
 Reasonable speed ought to be goou enough for Connecticut, or any other state in the union.

queer in dress, and as remote from the conservative article with which this generation is familiar as may well ba imagined. Of course, it is designed for the woman who tries to wriggle her way through the present phases of her life in the yard and a-quarter- wide sl1rt-yes! even that ungaeliev- able width of skirt is still seen in gowns but just from their own mak- ersi
 For her there are check-topped shoes with points curling slightly upward. which, because every move ment she makes pulls the skinny skirt away from her feet, literally insists upon being looked at. Sometimes 8 slender foot so shod will appear in teresting, but if nature has not made the foot within such 8 shoe well form ed, the spectacle is pitiable.
 These check tops are in grey and white, black and white, and blue and white. with patent vamps, usually, and with touches of black about them in the way of a patent leather piping set down the front and back seams of the upper, and buttons to match the darker line in the check.

An Easter Eaa Game.

A jolly game for wee folks to play at Easter time is that of 'sTouch." Nor is it necessary to confine this amuse- lnent to the very little people, for it ment to introduce after an Easter luncheon party, where the Easter egg enters into the scheme of table dec orations. Place six eggs, which have been cOlored green, red, black. blue, yellow and one left white in a. pan or basket of moss or bran, leaving some space between. One of the players is blindfolded and then provided with a light stick or wand. With this she carefully touches one of the eggs, re- citing slowly and distinctly at the same time.
 Peggy, Patrick, Mike and Meg,
 See me touch my Easter egg:
 Green and red and black and blue, Count for six, five, four and two;
 If I touch an egg of white,
 A forfeit. then. will be your right;
 If I touch an egg of gold,
 It is mine to have and hold'
 As the rhyme tells, the colors count as follows: Green six; red, five; black, four: blue. two. and the yellow egg is worth more than all of them com lbined. for when 9 player touches that sine wins the game, regardless of the standing of the other scores The whoever touches it has a forfeit to pay. The method of determining this would wisely be decided before the game opens.
 Each player is blindfolded in turn, and when the score of, say twenty, is is ended, without the aid of the gold en egg" Of course, the relative po- sition of the egg must be changed with each player.-Edna M. Gilmore.

Smart Effects in New Belt Buckles.

Warm winds from the southland and the twittering birds remind us that soon we will discard our coats and come forth in white shirtwaists and skirts of linen and gingham.
 With these shirtWaist suits, which are so popular among the girls and women who travel back and forth each day from their homes to offices downtown, 8 smart leather or satin belt lends a well groomed air which the woman fastidious in dress we'll knows is indispensable.
 ' Among the belt buckles shown none are prettier than the pierced silver and brass effects. These buckles range from two and a half to five : inches in length, and from two to long are worn with the long sides parallel with the belt.
 Heretofore the fancy has been to wear these long buckles in a vertical position, but the pierced metal shows to better advantage with the dark velvet, leather or satin as a back ground to throw the pattern into strong relief.
 The demand for buckles with the pin back has brought out many of the newest designs with this arrange ,nent.
 One of the fads for spring is to have the. belt and shoe buckles match, and when both are of pierced dull brass the effect is charming. Black suede pumps bring out the design of the pierced buckle beautifully, and if de- sired the suede may be duplicated in tIHe belt although satin will answer the purpose for this.

 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icfne we know of has such record of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For moro than 90 years it has been curing woman's ills such as infiamma- ton, alteration, fibroid tumors, irreg- ularities, periodic pains and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.

Behind the .Tinss.

New Hampshire is invested, by one of her own leading newspapers, with the unenyiable distinction of being the only state, at least in this section, that does not protect the blue heron, one of the most beautiful and graceful of our native birds. Ostensibly to pro tect her fish, her laws permit anyone to shoot these birds, whose plumage is unrivalled in our northern states. As their flights are long, their protection in Maine and Massachusetts is of lit tie value if they can be potted in the intermediate state, and the repeal of the present dooming law is demanded This, and its backwardness in taking measures to save the Crawford Notch, indicate that the New Hampshire leg islature is not as enlightened as it might be.

. THE ENDEAVOR OF GREED.

The forces which are fighting pro- tective laws for useful birds represent greed of the most senseless character The real battle is on in New York state where the strongest influences are being used to break down, if possi- bls. present protective laws: and at all events to prevent anything, more stringent than is now upon the stat utes.
 Tho, Audubon association is raising a special fund to send expert ornith- ologists to A1oany to point out the danger to the nations crops and game resources. IL is claimed that the head way of the disea Sc that is destroying the chestnut trees is due to the shoot ing of inseot-eating birds on Long Is. land, where the devastation began.
 Years of effort and, accomplish inent toward legally guarding the birds that save our crops from destruction by insect pest. as well as our waning game Hocks will be wasted If the mil liners and market men win even OH. victory in this crucial contest says IT. 0(lbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Soci cities. at its headquarters.
 We know that other state legisla- lures are watching the efforts of tho commercial interests to overthrow bird protective laws in the Empire stato and that if they succeed the effect will DC to break down all barriers againss the forces that are constantly plotting to destroy American bird life for their own gain. Tn this critical time we can only count upon the moral and hnan- cial support of every man, woman and child in this country who would bs benefited by the perpetuation of oul economically valuable bird resources"

Old Wicker Eurniture.

Old wicker furniture may be stained some attractive color or enamelIed white and the cushions recovered with gay cretonne to match the side cur tains. Tn painting or staining furni- ture of any kind the greatest care must be taken to have it absolutely dry, and amateur work of this sort should be done on a dry day. If this simple precaution is not taken, the stain does not ever seem to dry prop erly. but will always rub off. The chairs are apt to stain gowns for a long time after it seems impossible to do so. I have known a chair that was stained black one foggy day. when there seemed nothing else to do, that for two years marked the dresses with a black smudge.
