1901, AVEERGE .c..cccssvrarces Sl 1905, average . Week ending April 1... TREASURY BALANCE OF $3,000,000. At the close of business on March i1, the United States treasury showed 4 working bmlance of three millions against a deficit of nineteen millions at the same time last year, a gain of $19,000,000, which shows the new tariff meagure has been working well as a deficit overcomer since it was passed. Treasury officials attribnte the fa. verable gains mostly to increasing re: cipts from internal revenue. Custom: receipts declined $13.700,000. With a working balance on hand of $31,000,000 the condition of the treas- ury is considered much strengthened The balance in the gemeral fund hae risen to $89,400,000. The total cash ir treasury shows a gain of almost farch, and stands today 1, probably the largest held there. The piling up of gold coin continues. During AMareh about $10,000,000 was taken in exchange for gold certificates. The nation's finances will be further strengthened between now and July 1. when $2;,000,000 will be coming in from the corporation tax. The pro- posed bond issue, probably of $30,» 000,000, if Secretary MacVeagh finally decides to put his present plans into action, will reinforee the cash drawer still further. Thera does not appear to be l‘n) necessity for overhauling the tariff to wny further extent than the president 1as pointed out; and a general assaurt and revision will disturb the business of the country for the next two years AN AUSTRALIAN NAVY. The yellow peril ! 1s created a night- mare in Australla, and a movement for & navy to protect: the agaifst the Japanese, or any other aggressive Asiatic netion, hag become intense. There is a plan on foot to build 8 navy which will cost $115,000,000 and take 22 years te perfect, and as that is longer than the life of the best bat- tleship afloat, the first ships will havi hecome useless when the last are com- pieted: but they could use their old five-million-dollar ships for targets and go right on putting out mflions and seeing millions wusted because of a fear which of itscl tends to breed bleodshed. Australia ism't quite popt sus enotgh 1 cultivate the military spirit and the extravagance of a modern naval fleet; bwt when she gets into it she will have & burden such as she never dreamed of and one that cannot be shaken. Jobn Bull is not likely to protest for every* battleship the provinces bulld is to his advantage, and may help him to lighten his own burdery Fvery ghip leaves his home fleet the stronger and adds to the strength of his navy. Autralia is aroused and the cry for an Australian navy is too strong to:be resisted. THE ENDEAVOR OF GREED Ti® forces which are fighting pro- tective laws for useful birds represent greed of the most senseless character. The Teal battie is on in Mew York state. where the strongest influences are being used to break down, if possi- ble, present protective laws: and at ail events to prevent anything. inove stringent than is now upon the stat- 1tes. Audubon association is raising a spesial fund to seud expert ornith- Jogists to Albauy te point out the Aanger o the natien’s crops and game resources. It is claimed that the h way of the disease that is destroying the chestiut trens is due to the sheot, ing of insect-eating birds on Long Is 1and, where the devastation’began. “Years of effort and accorplish- inent toward legally guarding the birds that save our crops from destruction by insect pest.as well as our waning game flocks will be wasted if the mil- liners and market men win even on. vietory in this crucial contest,” say: T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Seci oties, at its headquarters. “We know thet other state legisla- tures are watching the efforts of the commercial interests to overthrow bird protective laws In the Empire stats and that if they succeed the effect will w to bresk dewn all barriers againse the forces that are constantly plotting to destroy American bird life for their own gain. In this critical time wo can only count upon the moral and finan- cial support of every man, woman' and child in this co who would b henefited by the perpetuation of ow: ird resoufces.” m.mo women has- just been essed her 19th CHild at the age of 38; aind yét she is hot chm:.nmn. country |- ‘We all know quite a bit about pota- toes; and they have no disease-crea! -ecord and we have not thought to te bad temper to them.

If Dr, Hunt had a real, genuine. New England: potato pie he might change his opinion upon the subject. REASONABLE SPEED. The framers of the reasonable speea auto law certainly expected the law would. please the automobilists, al- though it was severely knocked by the pres: It was found when the courts came to interpret the law that reasonablc speed had its limit, for they fixed it a. twenty-five miles an hour, and this has been accepted by rational men in- terested. The movement in the legislature te amend the lJaw to unreasonable speea by making the legal pace ten miles faster than the courts have allowed | reasonable speed to be, shows that the automobile agitators are really sati fied with nothing, and they are the ones who are exceeding the reasonable rate of speed today, and other wise provisions of the present law, one ox which forbids the passing of a trolley | car at a standstill at a rate of speea in excess of three miles an hour. Thirty-five miles an hour is a higher rate of speed than the passenger trains of New England are making today on steel rails and firm roadbeds—it is dangerous to travel and to the occu- pants of motor cars for which it is asked and should not be granted. The farmers have had trouble enough with motor cars at a reason- able rate of speed, and they wilr richly deserve all the added abuses it they in the legislature consent to a speed which increases the peril o1 travel in all parts of the state. Reasonable speed ought to be gooa enough for Conmmecticut, or jany other state in the union. / EDITORIAL NOTES. President Taft may be relied upon to talk right to congress, whether it does right or not. The land of Nonstrenuosity must be the happy land where lazy folks ex- pect to spend eternity. Some one intimates that going to the legislature is one of the finest rest cures, and most prefitable, too. When candidates go so far as to call each other croeks, it would be well for the voters if they took both at their word . Mexico thinks that the country has reached the stage where it needs two parties. It cannot borrow one from Texas! o Happy thought for today: Too many folks wait until the bread is stale before they cast it upon the waters. Kvery time Commander Peary zets | his monthly check for $480 he ought| to be prompted to look over toward his enemies and smlle; When such fire horrors occur it is suggested that it would be well for the living to pray that “their memo- ries be kept green.” Next to the man who thinks he knows it all, is the man who thinks he is funny; and he seems to be able to be the biggest bore.

Smart Effects in New Belt Buckles, ‘Warm winds from the southiand and the twittering birds remind us that soon we will discard our coats and come forth in white shirtwaists and skirts of linen and gingham. ‘With these shirtwaist suits, which are so popular among the girls and women who travel back and forth each day from their homes to offices downtown, a smart leather or satin belt lends a well groomed air which the woman fastidious in dress well knows is indispensable. Among the belt buckles shown none are prettier than the pierced silver and brass effects. These buckles range from two and a half to five inches in length, and from two to three inches in width, and when ob- long are worn with the long sides parallel with the belt. Heretofore the fancy has Dbeen to wear these long buckles in a vertical position, but the pierced metal shows to ‘better advantage with the dark velvet, leather or satin as a back- ground to throw the pattern into strong relief. The demand for buckles with the pin back has brought out many of the newest designs with this arrrange- ment. One of the fads for spring is to have the belt and shoe buckles match, and when both are of pierced dull brass the effect is charming. Black suede pumps bring out-the design of the pierced buckle beautifully, and if de- sired the suede may be duplicated in the helt, although satin will answer the purpose for this. An Easter Egg Game. A jolly game for wee folks to play at Easter time is that of “Touch.” Nor is it necessary to confine this amuse- ment to the very little people, for it would make an appropriate entertain- ment to introduce after an Easter Tuncheon party, where the Easter egg enters into the scheme of table dec- oration: Place six eggs, which have Deen colored green, red, black, bilue, vellow and one left white, in a pan or basket of moss or bran, leaving some space between. One of the players blindfolded and then provided with a light stick or wand. With this she refully touches one of the eggs, re- ting slowly and distinctly at the same time “Peggy, Patrick, Mike and Meg, See me touch my Easter egg: Green and red and black and blue, Count for six, five, four and two; 1¢ 1 touch an egg of white, A forfeit, then, will be your right; If I touch an egg of gold, Tt is mine to have and hold.” the colors count four: blue, nd the yellow egg is worth more than all of them com- bined, for when a player touches that e wins the game, regardiess of the standing of the other scores. The hite egg is less than nothing, as whoever touches it has a forfeit to pa | The method of determining this wouid iselr be decided before the game | ove Each player is blindfolded in turn, and when the score of, say twenty, is reached by any single player, the game is ended, without the aid of the “gold- en egg.” Of course, the relative po- sition of the egg must be changed with each playes Bdnra.
