FRANCE is the most heavily taxed nation
in the world. Its estimated expenditure
for the year 1880 is 1851 ,541, 625, with an
anticipated revenue Of q tribe more. Both
these sums are larger than for any year
since 1871, and the cost Of the public debt
calls for S24s, 047, 100. Great Britain, with
speculation ten per cent. less than that Of
France, is governed for twenty-five per
cent. less, even with a large royal family
to support. The cost Of the debt of each
is almost exactly the same per capita.
Both Of these nations pay about fifty per
cent. more annually on account Of the
public debt than the United States, al
though we manage to reduce ours every
wear.

IT is a curious fact that during the last
twenty-six years more fires nave broken
out in Boston during the month of May
than in any other month during the year;
it is said that Tuesday has the highest
average Of any day in the week for fires,
and that the largest number Of fires occur
between seven and eight o'clock in the
evening. How to account for these Curl
GUS facts is al unsolved problem, though
the Superintendent Of Fire Alarms thinks
the fact that Tuesday is "ironing day
has something to do with the increased
number Of fires on Tuesday.

SUHpAY EVENING CONCERTS are fast be-
coming an American institution. For
many years they were ~patronixed almost
exclusively by the Germans. There have
been places in many Eastern and Western
cities whore one might hear good music
snti drink besr Of a sunday night without
money and without price, save the price Of
the beer. But Of late it has been found
profitable to give Sunday concerts in large
halls without the accompanying beer.
These are well attended, and orderly au-
diences sit through long programmes in
which the best musical authors predomi-
nate. At first these concerts were called
s'Grand Sacred Concerts" Now the
ayers are dropping the title Of sacred with
out changing in any way the character Of
the music. There are worse ways Of spend
ing . Sunday evening than listening to
good music.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON is q man who
learns nothing, and who evidently fails to
understand that there is a vast difference
between theory and actual knowledge. He
has just published a long letter denounc-
ing the bill which has passed Congress.
and which has for its object the closing Of
our Golden Pacific Gates against the pere-
grinating Monaghan. The old man lifts
mp his voice in the ancient strain. He
talks about human liberty, equal rights,
universal brotherhood and "a man 8 q
man for a. O. that''-unmiadful Of the fact
that bread and butter stand always on as
high . plane as human liberty, and that
nations have the same right to protect their
domestic economy from the invasion OF
alien races that they have to protect them
selves against pestilence. Mr.. Garrison
shouts loudly for the Republican party to
come up to the support Of the Chinaman
against the ''hoodlum," but he will find
that his party has ceased to be the senti-
mental institution that 1t was when New
England first inaugurated her selfish cru
SADIE against the profitable slave labor Of
the South.

During January and February the

The Shining Little House.

Ii hung In the sun, the little house,
IL hung in the sun, and shone;
Ana through the walls l could hear his vote
Who had it all for his own.
Tho walls were of wire as bright as gold,
Wrought in a pretty design;
The spaces between for windows served
And the floor was clean and fine.
There was plenty, too, to eat and drink,
In this little house that shone;H
A lucky thing, to be sure, you'd say,
A house like this for ones ownI
But the door was shut and locked all tight,
The key was on the outside;
The one who was I'm could not get out,
No matter how much he tried.
T was only prison after all,
This bright little house that shone;
All. we would not want a house like that
No matter If { were our own!
And yet. through the walls heard the voic,
of the one who lived inside:
To MARBLE n swecter song each day,
1t did seem as If he tried.
To open the door. he never sought,
Nor fiuttered in idle strife;
He ate. and he drank, and slept and sang,
And made the best of his life.
And 1, to myself, said every day,
As his CHEEKY song heard,
There IS a lesson for us in every note
OF that little prisoned bird.
We all of us live a life like his,
We are walled on every side;
We all long to do a hundred things,
Which we could not If we tried.
We can spend our strength all foolishIy
In discontinued strife;
Or we can be wise, and laugh and sing,
And make the best of our life.

pear, but it is not certain, as they are
now on strike for salaries due. About
this time Algol may be observed in the
northwest, about 60 degrees high, and
mounting higher at the rate of Zoo, 1000
miles minute, still bearing in his hand
of ice that banner, with the strange de-
vice, Excelsior. The changes in the bril-
liancy of this star can be noticed with
the naked eye, and we are told that the
French astronomer, Swartzfager, was
in the habit of lingering on some of the
bridges over the Seine, and directing
the attention of passers-by to the varia-
tions in the light of this nocturnal sun.
Stopping Mcmahon one day the astron-
omer pointed to Algol, and with a great
deal of enthusiasm said something about
"the glittering orbs which guided the
Ancient Mariner, and by which the nav
igators of modern times have been ena-
bled to make oceans the highway of ma
tons"
"Curse your impudence!" exclaimed
MacMahon, freeing himself from the
grasp of the astronomer, and kicking
him severely in the region of the coat
tails; eff you ever stop me again III
make you see more stars in a minute
than you ever heard tell of in your
whole miserable star-gazing existence. u
Then he kicked him again and proceed
ed on his way to ward caucus. In a
very short time Algol passes from star
of the second magnitude to one of the
fifteenth or twentieth, reminding us OF
the way politician goes down hill when
he once gets started.
During the month, Venus will in
crease in brilliancy until Lent, when
she will retire from the gay and festive

Mars, which few months ago achiev-
ed so much newspaper notoriety by the
discovery of its moons, is rapidly in
creasing its distance from the earth, and
is thought to be steering for New Jer-
sey. The seasons on Mars, according
to the best authority, are about double
the length of those witnessed by the I'M
fortunate inhabitants on this sublunary
sphere, while rents are great deal less.

The Fog Will Lift.

The fog viii lift before the day is done;
Already through the mist, spectral and
pale,
Half CLEANS the glory of the morning sun.
Half he disdains to draw the heccy veil,
Now for IA moment clears the crested cliff.
And now, as suddenly il sinks from sight;
But slowly, slowly the gray fog will lift,
And yet again the earth and sky be bright.
Now through the space a stately mast appears,
AS suddenly a breezy sail doth SHIFT
Hopes messenger of ocean seen through
tears
Aso'er the wave the flmy fog doth lift.
So from my fate the fog shall lift full soon;
Hope is not dead because the sun be hid;
A murky morning brings radiant noon;
The sunny eye will surely lift its lid.
And more and more unto the perfect day
The shadows gathered on the way shall
drift;
clearer vision comes with evenings ray;
Before the day is done the fog will lift

Capt. James Etchberger vouches for
the following bird story:
About thirty years ago when in Hon
duras in command of the bark Eldorado,
his wife then accompanying him, he was
presented with a parrot, sprightly
bird and fluent discourser in the Span
ish language. The bird was brought to
this city, where after being domiciled
in the house of the Captains family it
soon acquired knowledge of the En-
glish tongue. The next door neighbor
of the Captain was garulous woman
an incessant scold-forever quarreling
with some one or something.
Polly being allowed full liberty was
pleased to take an airing on the yard
fence, and in short time had learned
to mimic the scolding neighbor to per-
fiction, and finally became aggressive.
Polly not unfrequently rued her imper-
Thence by being knocked off the fence
with broomstick.
This brought forth torrent of abuse
from her injured feelings upon the head
of her assailant. Finally the birds Ian
guage became so abusive that the Cap
tain was obliged to send it away, and
Polly was transferred to a good Chris
tian family in the country, where in the
course of time she reformed and be-
came to some extent a bird of edifying
piety.
Some time ago, while she was summing
herself in the garden, large hawk
swooped down and bore the distressed
parrot off as a prize. Her recent re-
ligious training came to her assistance,
as at the top of her voice she shrieked,
go, Lord, save me! o, Lord, save
mel"
The hawk became so terrified at the
unexpected cry that he dropped his in
tended dinner and SCARED away in the
distance.
Polly still survives her attempted alb
observation-disclosures (lHd) NeOs.

DURING the cold spell last week, says
the Litchfield (Minn.) independent, L..
C. Spooner tried an experiment on pre-
serving his cellar vegetables from frost.
He simply placed a tub half full of water
in the cellar and arranged his apple and
potato barrels around it. During one
night ice formed in the tub to the thick
the apples and potatoes were not hurt.
The philosophical explanation of the
fact is that the water absorbs the frost
that otherwise would attack the vegeta-
bles.

How TO UTILIZE OLD FRUIT CANS.
Perhaps one of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de-
vised is to make it contribute to the
growth of new fruit to fill new cans.
This is done in the following manner !:
The can is pierced with one or more
pin-holes, and then sunk in the earth
near the roots of the strawberry or to-
mato or other plants. The pin-holes
are to be of such size that when the can
is filled with water the fluid can only es-
cape into the ground very slowly. Thus
quart can, properly arranged, will ex-
tend its irrigation to the plant through
a period of several days; the can is then
refilled. Practical trials of this method
of irrigation leave no doubt of its sue
cess. Plants thus watered flourish and
yield the most bounteous returns
throughout the longest droughts. In all
warm localities, where water is scarce,
the planting of old fruit cans, as here
indicated, will be found profitable as
regular gardening operation.
