CHOPS TO PAY DEBT
ENGLAND TO TAKE PRODUCTS
FROM u. S. TO SAVE GOLD.
English Financler in Washington Says
Cotton Exports Will Begin
Soon.

Washington, S.. as-Sir George
Paish, specia, aoslser to the English
chancellor OF the excheeuer, after
a conference with treasury officials
over the financial situation, spoke with
optimism as to the outlook.
Sir George expects scheme can
be worked out that will make the ex-
port OF $200,o00,00o Of gold represent
ing. American debts in England I'M
necessary
The treasury does not want to send
that enormous amount Of gold out
of the country But England does
want the temporary balance of trade
in her favor settled in some way and
Sir George said that English manu-
facturers wanted cotton badly If they
can be assured that it has reached it's
bottom price,
While the English financial expert
would not discuss ways and means
considered between himself. Secretary
McAdoo and members of the federal
reserve board, the inference was drawn
from what he said that nlnety-uay pa
per would be accepted as the equiva-
lent of gold. This will be supplied
blythe reserve bank.
There is no doubt in my mind that
eventually the balance Of trade will
again be in your favor" be said. In
the months to come England will be
buying American $ wheat and cotton.
These purchases probably will not can
Gel the sum owed to England in few
months but it is bound to come in
time. In the meantime, arrangements
will be made SO that the United States
will not be embarrassed but that will
at the same time assure England that
her money will be forthcoming when
wanted"

About ten days before Christmas in
the City Ut Mexico the poestos Ii the
Gale de San Diego begin to grow
festive with evergreens, flowers, bright
berries and other greens brought in
from the mountains By the paisanos
to delight the eye and tempt the purses
Of the promenaders. In the booths Of
the neighhoring Gale de San Juan
are displayed fruits. nuts aud candies.
and still others offer angels. shepherds.
sheep, mules. oxen and other objects
suggestive Of the Saviour's birth.
Probably the greatest attraction for
the Mexican children are the pinatas.
Peddlers may be seen sauntering along
the streets carrying long poles which
arc strung With varicolorsd plnatas Of
every description. draped with tinsel.
These represent dowers. fruits. ami
mails and even men and women. and
each contains Q jar filled with goodies.

HITTING THE CORK.

A diversion for the Christmas gam
Dol IL gained by placing a cork on q
chair at the height OF four or i've feet
from the floor. The player then ap-
proaches the cork and places his fore
finger by 1t in careful determination OF
the height. He must then walk back
ward across the room, pause. close n
eye and once more approach the cork.
This time he will endeav0r to knock
the cork OF by q blow Of his forefnger.
The result Is usually disappointing to
the player. but most gratifying and
laugh provoking to the remainder Of
the company.

Old Roman Furnaces.
For the heating of their houses the
Romans used a form of furnace known
as the h%ypocaust, which was placed In
a chamber beneath the floor and the
heated air was made to circulate
around the walls and under the floor
by means Of hollow tubes or a hollow
lining, and was also by way Of pipes
transported to other rooms.

FINDING THE SPOT.

There must b. a spotted carpet or
wall paper In the room where this
mystifying Christmas game Is played.
For this game m must have Y con-.
federate with whom to agree about
the sign that shall be used In the game.
One takes a cane to point out the spots,
and then the confederate goes out Of
upon the confederate il called back.
Then the one with the cane points to q
spot and says. "Was this the one:"
mo" 'sThis7" mo" Possibly
thisr' mo" While you are asking
these questions you keep your hand
around the head OF the cane. When
you point at the spot chosen you ex.
tend n finger down the cane. The
confederate see this and ut once says,
Yes; that Is It."
After indicating by pointing two or
three times you can try another way.
Make an agreement with your confed-
crate that after three trials with the
finger you will say when you point at
the right spot. rs It this? r. but when
you do not point at the spot chosen
say some other word before such as
"Do you think 1t IL this-well, il II this
and Is It this7" By changing It every
three OF four times no one who does
not know the game will catch you.
