J Federa} Expenaiafes Have Increased 25 Per Cent. en Years.—The Incoming Administration Wil Increase Instead of Di- minish Expenses. “What is most. needed at pres~ ent is not more taxes,” says Sec- retary Carlisle in his Treasury report, “but 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 country Indicates the coutrary,|, course. Expenditures should be 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. _, In 1896 the total expenditure of fhe government was $242,483,138 § put in ten years the average ex- penditures has’ been increased Over 25 per cent. This increase Gg out of all proportion to the : growth of population or to the in ‘ .@rease of the wealth of the coun- ‘try.

Neglecting or delaying extra session of Congresr is to be called for the purpose vf adjusting which it has created and which now contro! it. It is not too much to say that in taking this course of action the incoming administration will de-- feat the just expectations of the courtry. The extravagance of Federal expenditure, no less than che blundering in the management of the Federal finances, has had much to do witn the depression and discouragement which have wrought havoc with the business ofthe country during the past four years.— Philadelphia Record _ 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. a Eclipses This Year, In the course of the year 1897 only two eclipses will occur, both of - which will be solar and v'sibie here as partial eclipses, The first will begin a-little before sunset on February Ist, and the second some hours July 29th, the heavens, none have more engaged the attention of mankind than_ eclipses of the sun. after sunrise on Ol all the phenomena of Yet, to those who are ac- quainted with it appears perfectly natural that such occurrences astronom vs should take place; ‘and the time at which they will cecur can be pre- dicted with the greatest accuracy.

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 “gray legs’? 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 dog’s 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 friendship’s sake or from a’ 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 man’s 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 Wasp’s 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 hornet’s nest.
