Once more “Is it hot enough for you?” is a chestnut. Changing seats in the boat begins Its usual summer harvest Philadelphia may be a sleepy town, but its ball teams play between naps. S *' - Somebody Is hoarding buffalo nickels, for one is rarely seen in circular tion. Physicians never prescribe the rest cute for merchants who do not advertise. The mikado of Japan has recovered, although he had eight doctors in attendance. ™ ' ~ The open season for fish stories is on, and it Is reported there is an enormouß supply. If airboats become as popular as automobiles it may be necessary to roof the streets. ~ Was there ever a verdict of which so many persons said: “Just exactly what I expected?" Now that warm weather is here we can listen to our neighbors’ pianos. We can’t help it. One charm of a long fishing trip is that the fisherman gets a chance to -let his whiskers grow. No doubt the generous baseball fans are willing to give their share of the rains to the farmers. A German doctor was fined for calling a telephone girl a camel. Camel must sound terrible in German. It’s a fact for which we can’t be ' too thankful that not every year does the frost antedate the pumpkin. In spite of all the free notices we 1 don’t know even yet what brand of soap “September Morn” advertises. f Our notion of a truly superior person is the boy scout, who actually looks down upon a college graduate! If you want to change seats in the boat, and you don’t know much about handling a boat, beach the boat first. Judging by the feats of the Philadelphia baseball players, some other fleams could use a supply of somnambulists. The number of times the will can be broken by dlshatisfled relatives is in direct proportion to the amount of the estate. r ; 0 For the majority of symptoms of physical disorders now in evidence, we suggest the blanket diagnosis “vacationltis.” The designer of the Lincoln penny has Just been married, but a worse fate should be devised for The designer of the buffalo nickel. ’ Not only did a young French aviator fly 938 miles from Paris to Warsaw in thirteen hours, but he lives to tell the tale Scientists say the world is not revolving as fast as it used to do, but the man who has a note coming due in the bank doesn’t believe it. A Pennsylvania woman one hundred years old has never worn a hat. Yet on that account her husband owns neither an automobile nor a bank. This being a wide world, there are plenty of places for the newlyweds to see. China is to establish an aviation scnool. The new republic is determined to have all the latest trimmings of up-to-date civilization. The bishop who advised a das* of young ministers not to be in any hurry to get married doubtless knew the sewing circle would attend to that. Look out for another boost in the price of kerosene. It has been found ~ that this useful fluid is highly efficacious in exterminating grasshoppers. Possibly, their unswerving faith In a future reward accounts for the fact that, according to statistics, the average salary of ministers of the gospel Is 8600 a year. That society woman who advises the girls to wear trousers as a relief from tight skirts has no suspicion that some of them would wear tight trousers. If some people would think before they speak they would have mighty little to say. Noblemen in Paris when sent to prison for forgery declared that they considered swindling to be sport. Ab- - surd! How much more civilized to mob an umpire! „ That Chicago' woman who asks permission to wear trousers might have loss trouble getting it if she would promise not to be photographed In them first thing.

UNCLE SAM'S TREASURE VAULTS

UNCLE SAM’S treasury building at Washington covers two entire city blocks. In this build- j ing there are thirteen immense | vaults, and several smaller safe vaults, in which are safely packed away billions of dollars in gold, silver, greenbacks and securities. ' The vaultß are wonderful In their intricate construction. They are surrounded by thousands of highly charged wires embedded in solid concrete, any one of which will give an alarm instantly if touched by any person not intrusted with the secret combination. Each vault is about twentyfive feet wide by thirty feet long, and are built of reinforced concrete four and a half feet thick and strong in proportion. The vaults are as nearly burglar-proof as human ingenuity can make them. Doors Are Strong. Electricity, applied by the most modern method, protects the treasure. Each of the vaults is completely surrounded by a network of electric wires placed two inches apart. The doors of the vaults being sufficiently strong to resist any attempt to enter them, It is absolutely impossible for anyone to gain entrance to this treasure house without giving an alarm that will bring out instantly the captain of the watch and his entire force of guards, for the minute an electric wire is cut or even touched the alarm is sounded, and the guardians of Uncle Sam’s treasure at once get busy. The financial transactions of the government are conducted on a scale of such magnitude as to seem almost incredible. For instance, during the period of thirteen years from 1897 to June 30, 1910, the accounts settled in the office of the auditor for the treasury department aggregated the Immense sum of $68,181,000,000, an average of nearly $5,250,000,000 a year. This vast sum embraces the income and expenditure of the government, the issue, redemption and exchange of currency, accounts of mints and assay offices, customs, internal revenue, etc. It does not, however, Include transactions relating to the postal service, the revenues of which for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,; amounted to $203,562,383.07, and the I expenditures $221,004,102.89. It is not generally known that tbe United States today holds the largest stock of gold of any nation In the world. The amount of gold in the United States is more than three times as large as that of Great Britain. It more than equals that of Great Britain and France, Great Britain and Germany, or Great Britain and Russia combined. A number of Interesting facts regarding the silver dollar were discovered during the writer's investigation of this subject. For Instance, 1,000 new standard dollars will weigh exactly 58.92 pounds. If the oountry’s stock of 664,604,719 silver dollars were loaded Into freight cars of 60.000 pounds or thirty ton’s capacity, it would require more than 655 cars to carry them. I if these same silver dollars could be laid flat, one on top of another, they would make a monument 835 miles high. If placed end to end they would make a handsome “necklace’’ 13,350 miles In length. Or they would make • belt that would extend more than Half way around the world. One thousand dollars In new gold coins weighs 8.68 pounds. Uncle Barn’s stock of gold, therefore, la

equivalent to about 3,009 tons, which would require a train of 100 cars toi carry it, each car having a carrying capacity of more than 60,000 pounds. Another interesting fact in connection with paper money is that a million crisp, new $1 paper bills, if placed one on top of another, would make a column about 260 feet in height, pr nearly half as high as the Washington monument. United States -paper currency is issued in denominations of sl, $2, ss,' $lO, S2O, SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO, $6,000 and SIO,OOO. The notes are put up in packages containing $4,000 of each denomination. So while a package of 4,000 $1 silver certificates, about seven inches square, contains but $4,000, yet a similar size package of SIO,OOO gold certificates contains the equivalent of $40,000,000. y The nucleus of Uie present building was authorized by act of congress July 4, 1836. The building was completed in 1842. It extended along Fifteenth street and was 340 feet long by 170 feet wide. By the act of March 3, 1855, the continuation of the building was authorized. The south wing was completed and occupied in 1861. Operations were suspended during the Civil war for a while, but in 1864 the west wing was completed. Immediately adjoining this wing at the north end of the east wall was the west end of the old state department building. In November. 1866, this building was vacated by the department, and it was immediately demolished. The work of laying the north wing of the building became necessary in May, 1867. In 1869 this finished, thus completing the bunding as it stands today. The dimensions of the building today are 468 by 264 feet. The treasury of the United States in a broad sense embraces the treasury at Washington as well as subtreasuries located in many principal cities; thirteen mints and assay offices,. and about 2,000 national banks, in all parts 'of the coutnry, designated as depositaries. The treasurer of the United States is charged with the receipt and disbursement of all public moneys deI posited in the treasury at Washington | and 1l the various sub-treasuries and | national bank depositaries. He is also ! redemption agent for national bank notes, and trustee for bonds held to secure national bank circulation and public deposits in national banks, as well gaent for the payment of interest on the public debt. He is a bonded official, and the financial responsibilities attached to his office are tremendous.

Borrower Who Really Came Back.

Contributed from the stock yards*. Late In the afternoon a poor old back number “hog man” stood at the side of one of the agents in the Exchange building. “It’s a long ways home,” he said, “and I haven’t a nickel for car fare. Let me have a dime. I'll return It Saturday.” “All right.” said the agent, handing opt the money, never thinking of that faraway “Saturday;” but he waß mistaken. Some weekß later at about The same hour he came, asking: “Are you the man I got a dime from for car fare one day?” The smiling agent answered that he was. “I thought so. Let me have another.” I nil he got it—Kansas City Star.

ROWER PLACE CARDS

PRETTY BUGGEBJIONB FOR TEA OR GARDEN PARTY. Entail Little Trouble or Expense and Give Just That Distinctive Feature So Appealing to the Modern Hostess. During the flowery summer months the hostess delights to plan luncheons, dinners and teas for her visiting guests. The garden offers material for decorations or a fitting background for a tea or garden party. Tbe decorative value of the basket has been recognized for many ages, and you cannot select a more artistic centerpiece than a basket, woven of Japanese willow or plaited rushes, filled with roses, lilacs, daisies, carnations, gladiolus, nasturtiums, sweet peas, phlox or larkspur. The brown

of the' willow harmonizes so beautifully with the blossoms, and if a bow of ribbon is tied to the handle of the basket the centerpiece is perfect. One of the attractive features of a luncheon or dinner Is the place cards, and theee can be made at home with very little trouble or expense entailed. At an artist’s supplies shop purchase a large sheet of water-color paper of a not too coarse grain, a box of watercolor paints, a camel’s-hair brush and a pieee of carbon paper. Charming designs for basket place cards are given here, and when you have selected the one which appeals to you most follow these directions: Between the drawing and the watercolor paper gilace the carbon paper and carefully follow each outline of

the design with a sharply pointed pencil. The drawing will be reproduced on the water-color paper, ready for tinting. The rectangular basket filled with clusters of hydrangeas is effective if tinted yellow, green or brown. Color the flowers pink or pale lavender and the foliage a soft green. Especially pretty is the hat-shaped basket filled with wild roses.. This is improved by cutting out the design after it has been tinted and pasting a

SUMMER HAT MADE AT HOME

Crownless Design of Net Probably Is the Best for Amateur Milliner to Attempt. It is amazing how many amateur milliners have sprung up since the new kind of hat came intq being. There are women, many of them, who do not mind paying a good price for a winter hat or a winter suit, but they draw .the line at a fancy price for a summer hat or a summer gown. They know the possibilities of the sun for bleaching out any color and they know how the open air life they lead takes all the character out of a frock. So they prefer to divide the money into many parts and make it buy many things, and therefore the chance of making hats at home h&B a strong appeal. It all looks very easy, and the woman who has skill and a cleyer idea of line and color may be able to accomplish much, but a word of warning should be said to those who are not sure of themßelves in the field of millinery., A home-made hat is often worse than a home-made gown, and the best of the latter is often spoiled the former. The crownless hat of net is the best to attempt, as it Is made startlingly like a neck ruff and held to the head with a band of ribbon. There are women, you know, who boast that they have worn their tulle neck ruffs instead of hats, with a rose at the back and the looped up hair In the middle —for the hat la crownless —and their public admired and said: “How very becoming.”

strip of cardboard to tho back, which acts as a support , Paint the basket brown, green or yellow, the roses pale pink, with yellow centers, and the foliage green. Never purchase place cards when you have these attractive designs at' your disposal! You will be agreeably surprised to find how easily and quickly they are made and how very artistic are when completed.

SUMMER DRESS.

MUST HAVE LINEN CARDCASE

Fashion’s Decree Makes It Imperative to include This Among Necessary Accessories. The daintily embroidered cardcasa of linen belongs among the necessary accessories, and the woman who does not already possess one should Immediately begin to embroider the linen. The needlework shops sell a variety of designs stamped on coarse or fins linen, according to the work you desire to place on It. The thin lingerie frock demands a cardcase of handkerchief linen, embroidered with a very fine design; those done in eyelet embroidery are the most effective. If you do the tiny flowers and foliage in solid work, pad the petals first with darning cotton and cover this with fine mercerized cotton. Scallop the edges, using the buttonhole stitch, and whipstitch the sides together. With the one-piece frock or tailored costume should be carried a cardcase of heavy linen. The design is not so fine on these and can be done with white or colors. For instance, if you choose a cardcase of natural-colored linen, the design can be effectively done in white, brown or dark blue. There are a few designs to be worked with the Bulgarian colors, and these are extremely effective when done In the brilliant hues op a background of tan linen.

Fashion's Fancies

The new cotton dresses, trimmed with vividly tinted embroidery, are particularly successful. « The best stocking is always plain, of a good quality of lisle or silk and in an unpretentious color. The lace neck ruffle, standing upright at the back and falling softly way from the neck at the front, is a favored fashion in neckwear. A new idea on many suits is to bind the upper half of the buttonhole with a band of on« color and the lower with another harmonizing color. A pretty hat is covered with white crepe and trimmed with white picot edged ribbpn. The front is finished with a small bunch of colored flowers. The ndw colors in tailored suits are Chinese blue, Bulgarian green, wood brown, light and dark grays, terracotta rose, brick and other tones of red

To Fold Skirts for Traveling.

Fasten the waistband and pin the middle of the back to the center of the front. Then lay the skirt out flat on a table, and with two pieces of tissue paper as foundations, roll the skirt over and over toward the front, first from the right aide of the skirt, then from the left, so forming two rolls that He parallel to each other. If the garment has to oe folded crosawtse to admit of its being packed in a suitcase or trunk, place a wad of tissue paper or newspaper underneath the crease. Skirts so packed take very Uttle room and show no traces ot traveling la small compass.

Skyscraper Cities.

Opposite the poetofflee, In lower Broadway, New York City, there has just been completed a building 780 feet high, which will provide working quarters for 10,000 people. If all the men and women employed in this one “skyscraper” should attempt to go uptown by the subway at the end of the day it would take the fen-car express tralnß, running at the intervals now established, 15 minutes to haul them away. Though this happens to be the highest structure in the city, there are others nearly as large; it is one of the dozens that accommodate 4,000 or 5,000 people each, and one of hundreds that accommodate more than a thousand eaph. The number of these great buildings is steadily growing.—World Work.
