NEW IDKA IN' WAX SISALS.
"There Is our latest novelty," said the
Philadelphia manager of tho Dennl.ton
Manufacturing Company, ns he picked up
a card on which a young woman hail
placed a red wax seal with a monogram
In cold on the wax, and followed tho
operation by melting a green wax seal
on another card on which she placed a
coat-ofarms In silver relief. The effect
ivaa charmingly agreeable, and the beauty
of It Is that it docs not recpilro any spe
cially made die for the purpose. Any ono
can use the ordinary dlo used on their
stationery to produce this two-tono effect.
A very simple operation attaches tho nec
essary handle to It. The wax used Is
made specially for the purpose, comes In
18 different shades ot color nnd Is cheaper
than the regular wax. Tho combinations
of these IS shades can bo made with gold,
silver or white. The wax melts faster. Is
more adhesive and gives a better gloss
than the regular sealing wax.
Another Dennlson novelty Is picture

Spfclnl fnofa fo the lUtnitip I.tttper
1'AttlH, Feb. 1. An Important section
of the report of M. Fallalm Kovcrnor of
the think of Fiance, deals. with the unes
Hon of pxehatiRe. French Imports leach
8,000.(10(1,000 francs and exports 3.000,000,
000 frillies. If we had 40,000,000,000 francs
Intestcd abroad at fi per cent. Interest It
would not compensate the difference. Hut
as state loans have absorbed our sur
plus capital we are unable to Invest
abioad. The pioflts from freight have
been InslRnllicant and we have had no
Invisible exports. An official decree for
bade private persons to export Rold, that
Is, to pay for purchases abroad In Rold.
The Hank of France has conducted the
followliiR operations roR.-trdlnK exchanRe:
First, It has assisted in the openltiK of
International credits to minimize the ef
fects of loss on exchniiRe. Second. It has
facilitated loans abroad for the account
of the Fionch or Allied fioverntnents for
the payment of supplies ordered Abroad
Third, It has Intervened In the exchange
market tn regularize transactions nnd
Rive French business men nnd manufac
turers the required facilities. Tho Intter
point demanded considerable caie and cir
cumspection. Fourth, It has limited as
far as possible the dlspatrh of Rold
abroad and added to the bank's Rold re
serves. r.euernlly spenkliiR, tho bank hns tried
to stabilize exchniiRei rather than to
bring it artificially to par when external
conditions would render Its maintenance
there Impossible.
Th,o exchnnge problem can be expressed
simply If ono takes an Individual case In
stead of the nation's. The person who
buys must pny with gold, or paper repie
sentlliR Rold, or be In debt.
Whnt (lxes the rate of exchange? It Is
the law of supply and demand. Then
comes In the psychological factor. The
fear that debtors cannot pay in Rold
causes a deniand for It even when It
reallv Is unheeded. Thnt Is tho cnRe In
the Fnlted Ktntes. The high rate of ex
change represents their eagerness for
Hold pushed to an extreme.
The Hank of France's gold reserve Is
$1,000,000,000, which gives confidence to the
creditor, but doesn't give him gold. He
hns received a promise to pay Instead of
the metal Itself. He therefore demands
a premium to recompense him until ho
does Ret It. This premium Is precisely
tile difference In exchange which Franco
must pay tn America and Drltnln.
In Italy the chief complaint Is directed
against high freights. They say Britain
makes them pay $15 a ton from Cardiff
to flenoa. The Italians ask why Is freight
$2.50 hlsher to Ocnoa than to Marseilles.
It Is because CSenoa Is less furnished with
conveniences lor debarkation.
The French Government Is also Inter
ested In the freight uuestion. The 11 rat
Idea was to hire ships. Then came talk
of pui chase for $30,000,000, which naturally
did not reduce fielRhts. Much time was
thus wasted.
