J
Federa} Expenaiafes Have Increased
25 Per Cent. en Years."The
Incoming Administration Wil
Increase Instead of Di-
minish Expenses.
oWhat is most. needed at pres~
ent is not more taxes,� says Sec-
retary Carlisle in his Treasury
report, obut more economy in
appropriations and ex penditures.�
He evforces this view with an ar
ray of facts and a cogency of
reasoning that admit of no ade-
quate answer. But, strange as it
may seew, it is this part of his
report which has been most sav-
agely criticised by his political
~opponents, who will soon be in-
vested with complete power in
the managemeut of our Federal
affairs.
The government is expending
more money than it receives from
taxation, although its revenue for
the last fiscal year amounted to
$406.475.408"a draft upon the
pockets of taxpayers of consider-
ably cyer one million dollars for
every day in the year"and its
expenditures amounted to $434,-
678,654; showing a deficit of over
$24,000,000.
If these expenditures were for
absolutely necessary purposes
there would be an end ot discus
sion. ~The remedy would be more
taxes. Buta pradent regard for
the public welfare in the present
condition of the business of the

cut down to the measures of ex-
jsting revenue, at least uutil there
shall be such a revival. in trade
and industry as to give some
warrant for our steadily increas-
dng extravagance. it has been
pointed ous that in the single
item of river and harbor appropri-
Aiions, nct to mention the outlay
for public buildings, there might
have been such judicious curtail-
qent as to cover the deficit of the
Jast fiscal year.

It is not too much to say that

courtry. The extravagance of

Little Things and Good Advice.
sercrnesneman
Little things are often the hard-
est things. It is comparatiyey
easy todo a momentary deed of
daring that will startle every-
body; it is not so easy to do lit-
tle deeds of quiet courage from
day to day, unheedea by all and
unheeding all, Perhaps you are
not called to do the great deed.
But you are called every day to
do the little deeds, which more
surely wear out life and strength
inthe long run. Be glad thit
you are called to this: for this is
the harder task, and he who is
faithful here, will not be unfaith-
ful in the eagier great things.
Not every ove knows good ad-
vice when he sees it Most often
the best advice does not tell a
person in direct language just
what he ought to do, and how he
ought to do it. Good advice
ought usually to make one think
before he acts. This helps !o de-
velop the whole man, by treating
him as a rational being instead of
making a machine of him. Show,
conditions of nis case are, what re
selves in the event of certain
courses of action, and then lec
him choose what he will do." Ex.

CANINE FRIENDSHIPS.
Some Curious Instances of Affection and
Gratitude.
Frienily alliances between ani-
mals are often of a most singular
kind. Naturally enough, dogs fre-
quently make friends and compan-
ions among their own species, al-
though the large share of personal
liberty they enjoy is the cause of
their contracting inexplicable inti-
macies. A close friendship and un-
derstanding between dogs and horses
is apparently more frequent than
any similar relationship between in-
dividuals ofthe same species. Dogs,
however, are fond of queer company
and go out of their way in search
of it.
~The numerous fr iendships formed
between dogs and geese, and even
poultry in gonebal, are quite re-
markable. It is not generally recog-
traordinary sagacity, and this mu.
tual regard of fur and feather may
proceed on an understanding which
overrides tho distinctions of race.
The species of goose known as ogray
legsT? is especially remarkable for
its strong attachments to dogs. One
which was rescued by a mastiff from
an attack by a fox showed a con-
sciousness of its obligations anda
desire to return them which were
touching in their obvious feelings.
The goose-entirely abandoned the
society of its kind, roosted in the
dogTs kennel and followed it in its
daily wanderings over a large farm
and through the neighboring vil-
lage. The dog happening to fall ill,
the goose would not leave him night
or day and would, to all appear-
ance, have been starved had nota
pan of corn been placed for it every
day near the kennel.
Dogs and fowls also aia into ami-
cable relations for reasons much
less apparent to onlookers than to
themselves. A hen and a retriever
became so strongly attached that
the former laid her ege's and hatch-
ed her chickens in his kennel. On
the hen leaying or crtering her nest
| the dog would move 1. 0m the thresh-
old to make room, While any at-
tempt to touch the eggs in her ab-
gence was met by his immediate dis-
approbation. There is also an in-
gradually grew up between a tame
rook anda bulldog, the dog never
appearing happier than when the
rook was seated.on his back.
Motives of beneficence lead to
many apparently perverted friend-
ships. Cats and dogs are often
known to carry their young toa fos-
~ter mother, who for friendshipTs
sake or from aT liberal maternal
love accepts the additional duties
thas cot bgeor her,
sigh ans
ural instincts, ao nov nestixte to'ac-
cept the charge of young creatures
of other and quite different species
from their own. ~Many creatures have
more than manTs dislike to asolitary
life and adopt measures of their own
to beguile its tedium.
Horses have a positive dread of
solitude, and when this happens to be
unavoidable will make friends of
| the most unlikely creatures, Cases].
have occurred in numbers where
coits and mares haye shown symp-
toms of distress and uneasiness
amounting to positive melancholy
where stable dogs have died or been
removed."Dog Fancier.
A WaspTs Nest.
One kind of wasp found in Brazil
and Guiana makes its nest of a bril-
liant white pastéeboard, suspending
it from the highest branches of the
trees so asto escape the attention
of the monkeys, which in those re-
gions have a troublesome habit of
investigating everything, even a
hornetTs nest.
