Paris, June 10. Subscriptions for the
French national defence treasury bills
and the new per cent bonds continue
TO float into the treasury satisfactorily.
Although the war expenditure for the
next three months is estimated at
S374,OOO,00O monthly; even this large
sum is expected to be increased by ad-
ditional credits to an Unforeseen
amount. Indirect taxation has declined
in a proportion of more than 20 per
cent in the returns for May, compared
with the same period last year, pres

$49,0OO000.

important items include raw materials

London, June l3.-As the result OF
arrivals Of gold from abroad last week
the net outflow was diminished, and
there was an addition of $3,5OO,O0O to
the gold stock, bringing the total up to
1896, 800, 900, while, with the fund estab-
lished by the government for currency,
the note issue Of gold held by the Bank
and the government mas reached $780,
10000.
Government disbursements last week
again exceeded the income and the
sales of Treasury bonds, so that public
deposits fell $4,200000, but they still
remain at the very respectable figure
of 16,5OO,00O At the same time other
deposits increased $4,000 900 to $780,
100000. The net result Of the weeks
movements was an increase of S6,00000
in the reserve, while the ratio of re-

The Way Of Robert e. Leo.

General Lee was in the cars going
to Richmond one day, and was seated
1t the end fartbest from the door. The
other seats were filled with officers
and soldiers. An old woman, poorly
dressed, entered at one Of the sta
tons, and, finding no seat and having
none offered her, approached the end
where the general was seated. He i'm
mediately arose and gave her his seat.
Instantly there was general rising,
each one offering his seat to the gen.
eral. But he calmly said: mo, gen.
tlemen, II there was no seat for the
lnflrm old woman, there can be none
Tor me-" .-
The effect was remarkable. One az
ter another got out Of the car. The
seats seemed to be too hot for them,
and the general and the old lady soon
had the car to themselves.-Southern

FEW PERFECT DAYS IN LIFE
Like All Other Joys, It Is Because
They Are So Rare That They
Are So Highly Priced.

There is a pretty little sentimental
song which begins with the words
when you come to the end Of per.
feet day." 1t relates to true friend
ship and to an unforgettable incident,
and it suggests that perfect days are
rare in human experience. Perhaps
they are. For perfect days depend
upon many factors. and some of these
are beyond the control of the indi'
vidual. You cannot produce perfect
day at will, any more than you can
summon perfect weather to suit your
convenience.
The hasty conception of perfect
day would be such one as falls out
to be entirely to your liking in every
respect. That requires combination
of circumstances which is exceptional.
You might set forth in the morning
with the determination that. in re-
spect to your own actions and affairs,
and your power over them, the day
should be perfect, but in an hour
or two external influences might in
tervene and the whole thing go glim-
mering. If there be one element lack
ing, whether it be an environment, in
the attitude of others, or in yourself,
perfection is not secured, and the
day takes it's place in the common
category, inspiring neither song nor
rhapsody, and occupying no perman-
ent place in the storehouse of fond
recollections. In fact, it Is the very
rarity of perfect days in lifetime
that makes the subject one of COM
ment, of story, Of poetry, of cher
lshed memories.

WONDERFUL CAVE IN MINE
Michigan College Of Mines Has ColIeo
ton Of Minerals From Cavern
That Had to Be Destroyed.

The Michigan College of Mines has
collection of minerals from the won.
derful Shattuck cave near Bisbee, in
Arizona. According to Science, Shat
tuck cave was discovered in 1918, after
heavy blast on the third level of the
Shattuck mine. When the miner who
had been working in that part Of the
level returned with the night shift,
he found a great opening that
reached farther than his light could
penetrate. Looking upward, he could
see tiny lights flashing and in the be-
lief that they were stars, he ran back
to the shaft and declared that he had
blasted a hole clear through to the
surface. On investigation, the mine
officials found that the blast had
opened great circular cavern $40
feet in diameter and 175 feet high,
land. On the roof, myriads Of crys-
tails reflected the lights from the
miners lamps. The walls, the roof,
and the floor were covered with great
clusters of crystals, and near the cen.
ter of the cavern a mass of stalactites,
40 feet long, hung from the ceiling
like a great chandelier. For the most
part the crystals were pure white; but
in places where the altering waters
had contained iron and "copper" great
transparent stalactites and stalag'
mites, some ruby red, others clear
emerald green or azure blue, added to
the beauty of the scene. The mining
company Illuminated the cave with
electricity, and has permitted thou
sands of visitors to see it. The mine
workers had to fill the cave with waste
rock-a necessity that led them to
send the specimens of minerals to the
Michigan College of Mines.
