FLOATING DEBT OF THE STATE

shows a balance in the general fund
general fund to meet state expenses of
1894 for the balance of the year. The
state land board, as boards in other
years have done, foresaw the posi-
bility of an added deficiency the state
faced for the closing OF the present
year and authorized the purchase Of
not more than $780, 900 in state war
rants with school moneys, to loan to
the general fund. This reimbursement
will be made when the new taxes are
RENTED to the state from various
counties. In the meantime the state
will carry the warrants outstanding
and the school fund will reap the bene-
fit of the interest, but in reality a de-
fciency is created to care for out
standing Indebtedness in state war;
rants which must be redeemed.
In view of the fact that coupons on
bond issuess will become due during
the Alexander administration and must |
be taken care Of, it will probably be
on the part of the gov
ernor- elect to raise the tax levy suf-
to meet the deficit and take I

ing, and when in such a state he
is only recalled by start to his
present surroundings "The life Of
the head man of a village in Nyas-
aand, when not engaged in the
strenuous pursuit of his official du-
ties, is something like this:
"At sunrise he crawls out of his
hut and sits outside. After a short
time his wife crawls out and offers
him some food. He eats this and
then makes his way to a tree, per-
haps a hundred yards from the vii
lage. Under this he sits in deep
abstraction, till about noon, when
a child brings him some food and
water. After partaking of this he
moves a little so as to get the after
MON shade Ha then sits in deem
meditation till sunset, when he
crawls into his hut and goes to
sleep.
Sometimes he is joined by few
other old men under his tree. They
hardly ever speak to each other, and
if they say anything it is to make
some obvious remark as, There is a
dog yes, it is a dog Oh 'Ah,'
and further period of silence"

Insurance business. The matter
seems to grow more complicated ev-
cry day. Insurance is something
that is absolutely necessaryLin bust

from necessity, others insure for the
qualification of being protected.
Some know that it is a hard matter
to get Insurance under the present
circumstances, others think that
matters will adjust themselvesin due
time, but when, we nor no one else
knows. We are not alarmists, mol
do we put this before the public fol-
self aggrandizement or profit, we
only want to remind the public who
wants or may want Insurance that
they had better place it now. There
are only six companies left in the
city, two of which we have the good
fortune to represent at present, but
we don't know when they will with

to your interest and get it now.

HEALTH IN EXTREME COLD.

Sir Ernest Shackleton afiirms that
during all the months spent in the
extreme cold of the antarctic not
one of his company suffered from a
cold. No sooner, however, did their
vessel reach a warmer latitude than
every man on board was smitten
with catarrh. And "cold snaps" are
even more costly in England than in
the United States. To builders,
plasterers and many carpenters and
joiners frost or snow means tenn
porary unemployment. Shipbuild-
ing, too, cannot be carried ON at low
temperatures, and when the mercury
drops to freezing point all the yards
are idle. All waterside laborers suf-
fer by severe cold, and fishermen
about the coasts affirm that frost
drives the fish into deep water. II
has been calculated, indeed, that a
days continued frost or snow in
that country means a million men
idle and a loss of wages which af-
fects the whole trading and laboring
community.
