THE country has not forgotten the
chorus of believing that rolled up
from the Democratic threats during
the last Presidential canvass over the
reduction in the public expenditures.
"See what a Democratic Congress
has done," exclaimed these blatant
economists. There was one feature
of their system of economy that intel
ligent people could not entirely see
through, and it is as opaque now as
ct the outset While there was a
nominal reduction of appropriations
upon estimates there was not a pen.
ny's reduction of taxes. Just where
the relief came in doth not yet appear.
But this peculiar breed of economy is
now showing its qualities. During
the extra session of six weeks Con-
gress was compelled to pass a Defici-
ency bill of four and half millions to
meet the temporary emergencies Gre
ated by the last CONGRESSES false and
fraudulent economy. In the regular
session still larger Deficiencies must
be provided for. Every such Def
cheney bill is only a certificate of the
fraud which the Democratic party
practiced upon the country through
Congress for mere party purposes.
But that's the way of Democratic re-
form. Who will be again deceived

A Beautiful Cross.

One would never imagine that so
artistic and curious thing could be
made from that very uninteresting
article-an OK horn. Find one as
white as possible and boil it for six
hours, until quite soft. Make a cross
Of strips of wood. The upright piece
should be nine inches in height, and
the cross piece six inches. Mortice
he latter in the middle to the upright.
at one-third the distance from the top.
and glue it firmly then secure the
base to thin block of wood about
three inches square. Fasten this to
another block a little larger, and f.
nally add a third block still larger:
the three blocks will represent the
steps to the cross, and the exact pro.
portion should be accurately observed.
Cover all the wood with double white
wax--such as comes for making wax
flowers.
Put on pair of buckskln gloves,
aud with piece of glass, sorape off
all the dark outside portion Of the
norm and throw it away. Then scrape
again, and with a blunt pointed in
strument press some of the fine white
shavings in the wax--just enough to
make a foundation for the rest to cling
to, then hold the horn over the cross
and scrape long fluffy pieces over it;
let them fall and cling where they
will, until the whole is enveloped
place the cross on a bracket; drive a
small nail in the wall about three
inches above the top of it; on this
hang piece Of dark crimson velvet
or marino or pressed flannel, and let
fall in graceful folds to the bracket on
which the cross stands. 4 H.
The beauty of the feecy drapery
against the bright background will
more than repay one for the work. A
less durable cross can be made with
greater ease, by using cardboard in
stead of wood, and glulng the shay
ings to it with white mucilage made
OF five parts gum arabic, three parts
white sugar, and two parts starch.
Add little water, boil and stir until
thick and white.
