PROMINENT ENGLISH TREASURY
OFFICIAL SAYS CONDITIONS
ARE NORMAL

New York, Oct 16.-Sir George
Paish, advisor to the British chan
cellor of the excheequer, reached New
York today aboard the steamer Baltic
to confer with treasury department
officials at Washington and bankers
and financiers in this city in regard
to the establishing Of a basis Of ex-
change between this country and Eng
land.
Sir George said that he was here at
the invitation of the secretary of the
treasury He was accompanied by
Basil Blackett, an official of the Brit
ish treasury.
"While ! am in America said Sir
George, Il expect to investigate the
situation so far as the handling of
the cotton crop and its financing is
concerned, as well as the exchange
situation. England is vitality interest
ed in the cotton situation here.
I'VE shall discuss the whole finan-
cial situation with treasury officials
at washington and New York finan-
ciers and clearing house officials. /
am not aware of any plan for the
establishment Of gold clearing house
in America; in fact, we have no spec
flied plan, but we hope to arrive at
some definite conclusion after our
conference"
Sir George and Mr.. B1ackett said
they thought that before the British
moratorium expired on November A
some plan might be arranged whereby
the London stock exchange might be
reopened.
Financial conditions in London are
now practically normal, Sir George
said. 'I consider that we are ready
to weather any storm and we do not
expect any trouble when the mora
torium expires There is much gold
in London at the present time and the
government will protect those who
are unable to pay their debts which
are due on November Al"
Sir George estimated that America
still owed England approximately s4O,-
100000 to $5O,OOO,OOO in gold When
asked if England would insist on gold
payments, he said:
s'My reply is that as q great and
wealthy nation you are just as anxious
to pay your debts as we are to have
you pay them. Your cotton experts
at this season would normally pay the
large balance against you. This is
one of the reasons why / want to take
up the cotton situation while here"

GET PROPER DARNING NEEDLE
Requisite of First Importance if One
Would Do Neat and Lasting
Work

Darning is an Accomplishment which
most of us find necessary to practice
few hints may help. therefore, to
solve some of the difficulties Of this
work
A very essential thing to consider is
the needle. which should always be
large enough to carry the thread cas-
lily. If the eye of the needle is too
small, the thread will gather into A
knot at the eye. This will prevent
the work from being smooth and even,
and besides there will be the difficulty
OF pulling the needle through the
goods.
The material TO be darned should be
basted over heavy paper or put into
small pair of embroidery hoops, so
that the work can be more quickly
executed. Ii the goods to be mended
is old, haste a piece of old material
under it and take the stitches through
the old piece underneath the goods.
A rapid way to mend undergarments
that are becoming worn Is to stitch
with the sewing machine back aud
forth in parallel lines, then turn the
goods and run stitches at right angles
to those already taken.

Art of Economy,

All economy, whether Of state,

fined TO be the art of managing labor
Now, we have warped the
word economy" in our English Ian
guage into meaning which it has no
business whatever to bear. In our
use of it, 1t constantly signifies mere
" ;paring or saving; economy Of
money means saving money-econ-
omy Of time, sparing time, and SO on.
But that is a wholly barbarous use of
sense, for it is not English, and it is
bad Greek; barbarous in treble
sense. for it is not English, it is bad
Greek, and it is worse sense.
Economy no more means saving
money than it means spending
money It means the administration
of a house; its stewardship; spend
ing Or saving; that is, whether money
or time. or anything else, to the best
possible advantage-R
