And all this sage advice applies in turn to maid and wife, debutanie and dowager. Now what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, Why not some advice to men?

The government also has in’ its pos- session numerous counterfeits of for- eign currency, principally Ltalian, Ger miman and Austrign, though there is som? Eaglish and French. The gov- ernment holds that it is as great a crime to falsify.or counterfeit foreign obligations as it is to counterfeit our own. One of the features of this curious collection is the number of advertise ments so clesely resembling money or stamps ‘hat the government officers de- termined to take charge of them.

The periodica! destruction of coun- terfeit currency, spurious coin, post age stamps, revenue stamps and other contraband material captured from counterfeiters by the secret service, has been ordered by the Secretary of the Treasury, The accumulation of this stuff in the treasury is larger than usual. Three clerks in the cash room of the treasury have been delegated a committee to see that this “queer” money is done away with. Every two or three years so much counterfeit money and counterfeiting tools and implements accumulate in the office of Chief Wilkie, of the secret serv- ice, that it is necessary to destroy it. The chief notifies the Secretary of the Treasury, who issues an order which sends the coin to the assay office, where all the silver and gold is melted or re- duced from the mass, run into ingota, European and Diplomatic Gossip.

Mr. Haggard proposes a scheme, Le.“ to combine a judicious use of the public credit, with that of what I have called, ‘the waste forces of be- nevolence,” and by means of these ‘two levers, to lift some of the mass of buman misery, which demonstrates {itself in the great cities of civilization, to a new level of plenty and content- ment.” He believes that if settlements are carried out on these lines, and espec- fally if they are located upon good land, which has cost the controlling authorities little or nothing, there should be, as is indicated by the ta- bles furnished in this report, no loss, but even a considerable gain.

Some churches in the United States, notwith- standing they are not supported by the government, as they are in Russia and other countries, are gradually acquir- ing rare paintings, statuary, stained glass windows and costly vestments. For instance, the most costly mitre in the United States, a mitre which rep- resents $10,000 worth of jewels and precious stones, is worn by Bishop Horstmann of the Cleveland diocese of the Roman Catholic Church. Most of these jewels were presented to the church by Mr. Gordon, who also donat- ed to the city of Cleveland his magnifi- cent Gordon Park.. Mr. Gordon was a father of Mrs. Daisy Hanna, wife of Dan.

Only the most guileless housekeeper will look at any saw-billed duck in market—the serrated mandibles indi- cating that the organ {s used as a fish chopper, and fish food never makes good game meat. The drake is a goregous but-vain and selfish bird and immediately deserts the “neighborhood when the six to twelve creamy buff eggs are being hatched. All the domestic duties then fall upon the devoted mother. “I once paddled after a brood,” says Chamber- lain in the Nature Library, “and though several times they were almost within reach of my landing net, they eluded every effort to capture them.
