PUBLIC LOSES
Millions of Dollars in Cent Fractions.
Postoffce Makes Big Yearly Profit
From Them.


What becomes Of odd pennies and
fractions thereof involved in business
transactions for which change camel
be made? The oecuniary loss of sueh
exceedingly small amounts to purchas-
ers and the general public seems 81
little as not to be worth while, yet the
amounts in odd cents ana fractions
amounts to millions of dollars in the
aggregate. China, Italy and some 9th
er countries provide smaller change
In Italy one can secure change to q
tenth of cent, and in China to one
hundredth of a cent.
Here in America our smallest
change is / cent. and as a result in a
single department the government
thereby gains several hundred thous-
and dollars n year because the sales
We're made for "even money" For
instance, the government sells 1000
stamped envelopes for 81 "A, or at the
rate of 2.124 ceuts for Il single stamped
envelope. whereas j single stompel en-
envelope. whereas & single stamped en-
aEd two of them costs cents. Three
of the envelopes are sold for : cents.
The government docs not propose act
ually to lose even the smallest frae-
ticnal part of II cent. Consequently
on every sale of stamped envelopes
loss than 900 in single order, the
government gains the fractional
amount
\ regulation in the post5fice guide
formerly provided that the postmas-
tiers filing orders for stamped enve-
IoPes should receive the profit from
fractional cents and make no report
ot their profit to the government.
That was the custom for great many
years, and the profits paid for many 4
cigar for the postmaster. Finally
some government official did little
sum in arithmetic aud upcn his re-
communication the regulations We're
changed so as to require all postmas-
tefs To turn their fractional profits
over to the government. The agsra-
gate profits from This source the first
year amounted to nearly u quarter of
a million dollars.

magistrate to make an inquiry. When
this inquiry is finished and the state
attorney has given his opinion the tri-
bunal calls upon a council of the fam
lily to give Its opinion. The tribunal
can reject the demand for a conseil
judieiaire sunmarlly without taking
the family's opinion. but it cannot
grant the demand without consulting
it.
The prodigal is heard by the tribu-
nal in chambers and can there oppose
the demand, or he can, as Claude Cas-
imir-Perier did, let this Interrogation
go by default. The prodigars estate
pays al! the expenses if the demand is
granted.
The tribunal, not the family council.
chooses the conseil judiciaire, who may
decline the post, but having accepted
cannot resign without the tribunals
consent. The tribunal can dismiss the
conseil it has appointed.
The individual provided with con-
sell judiciairc preserves the adminis-
tration of his patrimony, but without
the assistance of this guardian he can
not plead in justice, borrow, receive or
part with personal property, transfer
property or in any way place himself
under obligations. He can marry, but
cannot draw up his own marriage con-
tracts. He preserves his civil and po-
litical rights. He cannot be a juror,
a municipal councillor or a department
councillor, but, strange to say, may be
u deputy or a senator.
The conseil iudiciaire has to assist
his ward in all acts in which the lat
ter is forbidden to act alone, and any
such acts performed by the ward with
out his conseil are null and void.
The withdrawal of the guardianship
can be ordered by the tribunal on the
demand Of the prodigal without the
consent of the eonsen judiciaire, or of
the parents or wife.
The late Due Dues and the late
Prince de Sagan kent their guardians
until the end of their lives; in the ease
of the Prince this Tsas necessary, ow-
ing 10 his mental condition. The Mar
quis dc Dion, who is 55 and the active
head OF large automobile works. only
succeeded last year in relieving HIM
self of this guardianship.
A few weeks ago the case was re-
ported of n young Frenchman whose
extravaganza brought him under the
yoke and who went to New York and
made fortune. On his return to
Paris he found his counsel judiciare
still in existence and anxious to exer-
else authority over his new wealth. He
succeeded in persaading the tribunal
he was no longer IN need If protection
from himself.
Frances best known speladthrift
Max Lebaudy, lie petit sucrier Ghe lit

ing the shackles, thanks to his coun-
sci. Waldeck Rousseau, who persuad-
ed the tribunal before whom, Lebaudy
appeared That prodigality with money
saved during minority was not to be
considered as the prodigality which
dissipated the patrimony itself and so
required guardianship. M. Waldock-
