Yet there is a pretty good supply of money la the United States, and a great dent more now than at any other period in its history. The nailonal banks alone held $15,000,000 more money on the 1st of November, 189o, than at corresponding date the previous year. That surplus may not be seen to-day, but it is in the country. The recent report of the Director of the Mint shows that the total circulation
money of the country on the 1st of November was $1.498,997.617, as compared with $1,414.121,120 on the same date is 1889, a net increase for the last twelve months of $34,875,497. The Country is not suffering for want of money: If the amount were double what' it is, there
the financial skies were squally. The Govern ment is adding $4,500,000 to $5,000,000 in new money to the supply every month ls the pur- chase of silver. The gold prodact is also a clear addition. If more money were wanted, the Government has a standing offer to take up all its 48 per cent, bonds at par ard interest to maturity at the rate of $3,000,000 per month for those held by the banks, and in unlimited amounts outside of the banks.

1.The total number of boys on the Roll during the past year was 1,075. being 156 more than the previous year. The number of days during which the school was opened was 336. This is three days more than the previous year and considering that two extra days were granted by His Excellency the Administrator at the usual Tsing Ming holidays on account of the visit of their Royal Higbacsses, The Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and further that the school had to be closed one day in July owing to inclement weather, this number may be considered good.

These different races are mingled together in the various classes, and, notwithstanding the great variety of creeds and races, the harmony of the school is very seldom disturbed by any differences between them.
4-In accordance with the notification mentioned in the Head Master's report_Incl year, the curriculum of the First class has been somewhat altered. General reading, more grammar and composition lessons were intro duced into the Timo Table, and Latin, Chemistry Drawing, Book-keeping. Mensuration and Trigo nometry were made optional subjects. Of these subjects, Mensuration, Drawing and Book keeping were taught for 4 hour on Mondays and Thursdays during morning school, and the other subjects during the afternoon-Chemistry being taught on Mondays and Thursdays, Trigonometry on Wednesdays, sad Latin on Fridays. Of the subjects taught during the morning the majority of boys chose book-keeping; only four took Mensuration, and two drawing. As I could not give the services of one master to teach two boys drawing, I was compelled to withdraw this subject, and the two boys joined the book-keeping class. Of the four who took up Mensuration only two returned after the midsummer holidays, and another chango was necessary. As I considered mensuration of more practical use than uigonometry, I discontinued the latter and a class of mensuration was held during the afternoon on the same day that that for Trigonometry had been held. Thus book- keeping only was taught during the morning and that to the whole class,

She was supposed to be the biggest built gil on the variety stage. CONFESSIONS OF A PAIR OF SILK She was certainly large and fine and I am afraid my seams cracked a little when she first drew me on. But I was well-made and stood the shock. The Magnetic Flash used to swing on a trapezo terrible business so far as tights"are concerned, and she had to buy a fresh pair every week. At the end of my week I had grown. buggy at the knees, and there were signs of s leak springing in another part, so away I went. This time Miss Whick's dresser appropriated me. Let me tell you, first of all, that the Magnetic Flash had a husband as big as the was, but a good-natured easy going fellow, whe received many a thrashing, at the hands of his spause. She had a temper, and many a time I have trembled for the fate of her partner when in a fit of mad passion she belaboured him with the fire-irons or dung decanters and cups at his head. And the next moment she would be as soft as butter, crying on his shoulder, begging his forgiveness, and kissing him like mad. He tan away from her at last, and I think she very nearly smashed everything in the house. Her passion at last got the mastery of her, and the Magnetic Flash is now in a loustic asylum.
