With better grain.

being used in America for night lights,

is used. The base of the shrine is a
f1uted shallow brass pan four inches in

hangs at the bottom of wreath of
prettily-wrought leaves. The wreath
is the size of a tea plate, and at the

The amount outstanding ON April

in the following statement:

April q 1916, $462,975.93.
Practically nothing of the 1915

treasury The payment of this will
soon gin, and between now and Au-

paid in on that account. This will be
sufficient to wipe out the defeicit.

time which will be approximately
$500 COO and leave a balance in the

is one item Of expenses that will be
almost wholly eliminated at the next
session Of the legislature. The ses-
