Official Announcement Made.

An official announcement has been made
as to the fiscal situation of the Guate-
malan Republic and OF the numerous cir
cumstances which have prevented the
government from living up 10 its obliga-
tons. This announcement says. in part:
In 1850 an agreement was made for the
conversion OF the debt then existing and
for the payment Of the interest on loan
OF 100000 at 5 per cent, Of which 80
per cent was guaranteed by the customs
revenues. A new loan OF 100000 was
contracted I'm 1859 with Thomson. Bonar
& Co. which sold at 1917 per cent and
which also was guaranteed by the taxes
on imports. Certain political events then
interviewed to prevent the due discharge Of
this considerable obligation. When the
Liberal government was installed. in 1871,
II inherited the financial obligations con
tracted by its predecessor. The national
resources were I'm such condition in 1876
that the government found 1t impossible

loan contracts. and the government de-
faulted on a third part OF the outstanding
coupons. Wars and other disturbances

agreements. This condition continued
until 1854. when a new agreement was
made with the foreign bondholders How

public debt was normalzed through de-
cree issued a year before 10 consolidate
the external debt and reduce the newer
obligations This debt amounted 10 4922,-

New Arrangement Approved.
In 1895 General Reina Barrios. Presi-
dent OF Guatemala. issued a decree ap-
proving a new arrangement. giving as a
guarantee the duty collected on the ex-
portation OF coffee. the tax being fixed
at one peso and half a quintal. II was
found necessary 10 reduce this tax 10

To Free Brushes From Germs

VIXEN brushes. both for the hair

should always have a final rinse in an

the germs which flourish in dust be
wholly eliminated. There is no better
way Of doing this than by plunging
them into boiling water.
All instruments used by surgeons
are cleansed in this way, being put
Immediately into pans and kept at
boiling temperature for several min
utes.
Wood, of course, and bristles could
not stand such heroic treatment, and
for that reason it is better to have a
weak solution of carbolic acid and put
some of it into the water.
Antiseptic gauze is another article
that particular women are using now.
While not precisely cheap, it cannot be
called expensive, and as a face cloth
it can be used a couple Of times before

A GREAT deal Of the trouble some
young housewives have with their
servants is due to the things they say
or forget to say when they engage
them.
If you require your maid to wear a
cap, for example, be sure to tell her so
at the first interview. Don't do so I'M
pleasantly or abruptly she well put
you down as a tyrant at once.
Just say, ct don't know whether you
have been accustomed to wearing caps,
but I should like you to do so when
you are with me-" The maid will
probably not make any objection if
she is really keen on getting the place,
but if you don't put the point quite
clearly at first she will be able to say
afterward, "I never understood that
you minded, na'an," and will get out
of the duty on every possible occasion.
After all, it is only fair that the girl
should know at the outset what is ex-

Finally, don't treat the girl as though
she were already your servant. Re
member that as yet you have not the
slightest claim upon her and that any
suggestion of proprietorship in your
voice or manner will be very strongly
resented.
At the same time It is not fair to let
her go away with the idea that you
mean to treat her as a sort of COM
panion- Many would be mistresses go
to the extreme of being too familiar
when they interview their first serv-
ant They are so very anxious to Sc
cure her that they speak in way that

to give even this affection a grace.
The ideal way to furnish new

buy entirely new furniture suited to
each room. What most housekeepers
have to do when moving into new
quarters is to change the color of the
furniture when 1t does not tone in with
the scheme. Naturally one would never
under any circumstances tamper with
old mahogany furniture or anything
