To the United States Treasury.

In view of the agitation now taking
place to procure reduction of tax on
whisky and tobacco, the figures in rela-
ton to them given in the recently issued
report of the commissioner Of internal
revenue are Of no slight interest. To-
bacco in its various forms, for the fiscal
year ended the Both day of last June,

under about the same disadvantages
that ours did in the matter Of throwing
any kind Of missile. As near as we
could generalize their modus operand; of

with nearly vertical motion, as though
1t were hung by a door-hinge on the
top OF the shoulder, Or much as we
imagine the old Roman catapault OBJ
Grated when firing stones at the enemy.
Whon the arm had swung as far back
as the hinge would allow 1t was brought
forward with the same vertical motion
and with as much momentum as the
thrower could raise, and, at some unde-
fined point in the arc thus described, the
hand let go the missile While execut-
ing this quick movement some girls
jump up little way off their feet; others
do not. Some girls give little femi-
nine whoop, Or maybe half whoop and
half squeal; others do not. Our sister
jumped and whooped both, but then
she was a very bad thrower. AS we
stated, at some underlined point in the
arc described by the forward motion of
the arm the missile flew off. Sometimes
1T went up, sometimes sideways, but it
never by any manner Of means hit
the thing it was intended to hit, Jump
or no jump, whOop or no Whoop.
Now the point of difference between
a girls throwing and a boys we found
to be substantially this: The boy crooked
his elbow, and, reached back with
the upper part Of his body, and the fore
arm at the angle Of forty-fve degrees;
the direct act Of throwing was accom-
| lished by bringing the arm back with a
sort of snap, like the tail of a snake or
a whip lash, working every joint from
shoulder to wrist, and som etimes max
ing your elbow sing as though you had
got a whack on the crazy bone. The
girl threw with her whole arm rigid, the
boy with his whole arm relaxed. Why
| this naked and unmistakable differ
ence existed we never learned until, at
a somewhat advanced period, We dove
into book Of physiology, and learned
that the clavicle, or collar bone. in the
anatomy of a female, is some inches
longer, and set some degrees lower
down than in the masculine frame.
This long, crooked, awkward bone in
terferes with the full and free action of
the shoulder, and that's the reason why
a girl cannot throw stone The de-
sign Of this sort of thing IS still I'M
explained to our entire satisfaction.
We have developed a pet theory Of our
own, however, that an all-wise and
beneticent Providence, foreseeing that
there would be rolling pins, and stove
hooks, and pot-lids and hot water in
the world, set the women's clavicle
down a hitch or two for the safety of
men. It's lucky for all of us that wo-
men cannot throw stones.

A Nest Of RattleSnakes.

A Texas paper tells the following:
From gentleman who arrived in this
city yesterday morning, we learn the
following concerning a nest of rattle
snakes which was discovered by Mr..
Mcpherson, a farmer living north of
here. Being in quest of firewood, he
cut down a tree on his place, which fell
across q large brush pile. In q few mo-
ments afterward he heard rafting
noise, and turning, saw seven or eight
large rattlesnakes within fifteen feet of
him The tree falling had caught one
of the snakes, burrying a part of its
body in the ground, which caused it to
writhe and strike about. Several of it's
companions, doubtless not knowing
what to make of such proceedings, at
tackled and soon succeeded in killing it,
after which they directed their atten
ton to Mr.. Mcpherson, who, seeing the
fix he was in ran off to Il neighboring
house, and getting a gun, returned.
Everything was quiet, and none, save
the dead snake, was to be seen. Upon
throwing a stick into the brush, how
ever, he brought out eleven snakes,
when he fired, wOunuing two Of them,
and tue others attacked them as they
had the first, and finished them. While
reloading his gun, he heard a rattle be-
hind him, and, in aiming to jump out of
the way, jumped near one of the snakes,
and was bitten on the left leg. Tying
his handkerchief above the bite, to pre-
vent the too free circulation Of the
poison in his system, he made for the
house. The wound began to swell
rapidly, while he was at the same time
suffering great pain. A quart of whisky
was procured at 81 neighboring house,
which he drank without the slightest
inconvenience. 1t produced very little
signs of intoxication. The wound was
sucked by his heroic wife, and the
venom removed. At last accounts he
was doing very we'll, and no fear il en-
tertained of his recovery.

FEMININE DEFICIENCY.
Why Cannot u women Learn to Throw
A Some?

The practice of 8 whole life will not
allow a woman to throw stone with
grace and accuracy. 1t was one Of the
first and most knotty physiological prob
lens which presented itselfto our youth
full mind-why our big sister, when she
tried to throw SNOWFALL at us, almost
invariably sent it careening over the
top of the house, while we. in turn,
could pop her in the ear almost every
time 1t may be that we took a mean
advantage Of this discrimination of
nature in our behalf against our sister,
and it may be that we improved the
opportunity to rake her fore and aft
whenever she came within firing dis
lance. But that is neither here nor
there. AS time passed on and we in
creased our stock of information, we

Paul was almost sufi'ocated with his

flung himself upon the wretched bed
in his prison chamber he was alarm

days But at last, after a dreadful
night, during which he seemed to have
heard whistling all around him, he
awoke to consciousness. He seemed
to hear the merry voices Of women
talking near his bed, and in the dis
lance songs and shouts of rejoicing.
At last he distinguished the words,
"Well, then if he gets we'll he is to

Our city Finances.

Comptroller Kelly's excellent bill to re-
construct our local financial system is
framed in accordance with the soundest
financial principles. The enormous and
increasing weight of debt has pressed so
heavily on the city that we have been held.

The Dard q N elles.

This strait, anciently known as the Helles-
pont, has taken it's present name frem the
four forts built at its entrance in the seven
teenth century-two by Mahomet H. and
two by Mahomet Nv. These were con-
structed to prevent the approach of war
ships to Constantinople. Put in good con-
dition and armed with the artillery of these
days, they would trouble the passage of any
fleet, though they have been repeatedly
passed, and might therefore make
the pretence Of the Porte to close
the strait rather more than dip
lomatic curiosity. This pretence has
been formally recognized by treaties in
1909, in 1S41. in 1856 and in 1871. In 1871
the Conference of London, called in. conse-
quence Of Russia's Reputation, in 1870, Of
certain clauses of the Treaty of Paris, de-
creed the continuation of this restriction as
declared in the Treaty of Paris, but con-
ceded the Sultan's authority to permit the
passage of the ships of friendly Powers in
time of peace. This concession of the Sui
tans authority" in his own dominions in
dicates that the closure of the Dardanelles
had in course of time become of greater
interest to another Power than to Tur-
key, and it was the consent Of that
Power-England-tha was thus given to
the Padishah. In the circular of 1868, in
regard to the passage of the Wabash, the
Sultan claimed to exercise this restriction
as territorial right. It was in that sense
that the Treaty of Paris affirmed the right,
as an ancient one but that treaty even de-
prived the Sultan Of the right of consent in
regard to it, There are, therefore, some
rational and legal entanglements that are
rather queer The Dardanelles are within
the Sultan's territory but they are closed,
not by his will, but by the will of remote
naval Power, and yet that Power does not
exercise authority there as it might by
mere force on the high seas, but constitutes
the sovereign Sultan the executive of its
will and though it is not ready to fight for
the maintenance Of this right it calls out
on Europe to maintain it and not to let
victorious Russia encroach therein, because
this would be q violation of the privileges Of
that poor old Sultan.
