SURPLUS DISTRICT FUND
IS NOT YET DISPOSED OF
Subcommittee Finishes Work on Ap-
preparation Bill, But Leaves
Extra Revenues Untouched.

Although the subcommittee in charge
Of the District appropriation bill COM
pleted its work on the measure yester-
day afternoon, the question of what to
do with the surplus District revenues
was left untouched. AS previously
shown In The Star there will be diff
ference of $4,000 between the Dis
trict's share of the expenses Of the Ma
tional Capital and the revenues from
taxation, and the original intention
was to place that difference in the
Treasury to the credit Of the sinking
fund created to take care of the Dis
trict's funded debt, which natures in
1924. Because of the inevitable row
which will occur both in the full ap-
preparations committee and on the
floor of the House, the subcommittee
has lodged the question of the half
and-half principle on which the sur
plus revenues should be placed in the
sinking fund. Whatever legislation is
to be introduced to take care of this
surplus will come later. possibly after
the bill has been reported to the House.

poleon was a great believer in the viz
tues of pinches Of snuff Oft repeated. At
Waterloo he is said to have applied him
self necessarily to his snuffbox. Other
soldiers, too, shave been addicted to
pinch amid the din of battle. For exam
pie during a battle in Holland. a general
implored one of his officers to permit him
to dip into the latter's box. At the very
moment the box was presented the donor
was swept away by a cannon ball. Not
in the leasts disconnected. SO the story
runs the general turned to another Of
ficer, saying: We'll. sir, 1t Is you VINO
must give me a pinch.
During the Prussian advance In the
Franco German war. Won Moltke contin-
ually took pinches of snuff. When he
was told that MacMahon was marching
northward he exclaimed, He Is surely
mad- and forthwith nearly emptied his
snuffboX as he retired to his tent to Or

tremendous conflict Of Sedan. At the end

In the old days the taking OF snuE was

men and women. 1t was ordained IN So

say to go through a set ritual. Having
taken the box in the right. hand. It was
tapped and opened. and after 1t had gone

the side with the middle and forefingers
and then took a pinch with the right
hand 1t was held two or three moments
between the fingers and then carried to
the nose. 1t was then shifted with pre-
cision by both nostrils. This done. the
box was closed. the performance con.

of what shall be done for discharged

made to aid them from returning to
