A Soldiers Daughter.

indianapolis has had romance in
real life that is wide departure from
the ordinary line. During the war lit
tie girl, the daughter Of an Indiana
soldier who fell in battle, was placed in
Soldiers Orphans Home. There she
became the friend and confdant of the
daughter of the superintendent, but in
the course of time was transferred to an
other institution and lost trace of her
friend and also of her mother. When
about seventeen years of age she went to
live with a family, who gave her pleas
ant home. Among the members of the
family was a young man of good address,
who fell in love with the girl and the
end was her disgrace. Leaving her home
she found her way to the Home for
Friendless Women in Indianapolis, and
was transferred to the City Hospital,
where her babe was born. Some weeks
later, lady visitor to the hospital
sprung toward the girl, now an invalid,
with cry of recognition. She was the
old friend and confidant of the Soldiers
Home, and through her efforts the
girls mother was found and mother and
daughter united. Then came the lover,
and they were married. A few hours
after her marriage, the young wife died.

The Revenues Of Our Government.

The revenues of the Federal Govern
ment from customs and miscellaneous
sources come within about $35, 900, 900
of meeting current expenses, including,
of course, payment of interest on the
public debt and payments on account of
pensions. The Government realizes
about S135, 900, 600 from internal taxes,
and with the 500, 600, 900 surplus makes
payments on account of the public debt.
If the present rate of taxation should
continue twelve years, and the country
meantime be spared the expense and
disturbance of war, the National debt
would be actually paid. as the money
would be at the disposal of the Govern
ment to make such payments. This
condition of affairs has led to the sug-
gestion in some quarters that the Gov
ernment might relinquish this resource
of internal taxation to the States, and
make up any deficiency in revenues that
might arise from tax on tea and coffee,
which were placed upon the free list
several years ago. The remission of the
taxes on spirits and tobacco, however, is
not generally regarded with favor.

s,500,0OO Seals Robbed Of Their Fur
to Make Sacques.

The Providence Journal has looked
into the statistics Of the seal trade and
presents the following interesting points
relating to it: A seal skin sacque costs
fifty per cent. more thanit did five years
ago. Seal skins have not been worn
more than fifteen or eighteen years.
Fashion and the discovery OF new
methods of preparing and dyeing, or first
the latter and second the former, brought
them into use. The seal fur, as seen
here. is the inner coat. When on the
back of the seal this fine fur is hid by
coarse hairs, which are removed ny q
process of pairing down the under side Of
the skin. The color of the fur as known
10 vearers is artificial. IF the govern
ment had not taken measures to protect
the seal new wearers Of seal sacques
would be few in short time. The Shet-
land seals were once numerous, but have
been exterminated. The Newfoundland
seal is in the market, but is inferior to
the seal Of Alaska. The islands OF the
Behring Sea are the only ones in the
world where seal catching has great COM
mercial importance.
From 1751 to 1870 the scientific world
knew nothing in regard to the history OF
the seal. IQ0 SullbnbIsllhu 4ubtitubiOu
did not possess perfect skin and skele-
tom of the seal, although thousands of
men and millions Of dollars have been
employed in capturing, dressing and SELL
ing fur seal skins for the last hundred
years. The vast breeding grounds bor-
dering on the Antarctic have been en-
tirely depopulated. Between the years
1897 and 1921 2, ,232, ,374 seal skins were
taken in the Pribylov Islands; between
1921 and ls42, 49, 500 skins, and from
1912 to 1851, 372, 900 skins. In the year
1868 the number of skins taken was 242,.
600. In 1870 only 1895 were captured.
During the last ten years the catch has
been little less than loo, 600 per year.
The whole number taken between 1796
and 1880 was 8, SCI, !, ,051 skins. The seal
catching is done in June and July. Aftel
that time the fur begins to @''shed" and
is worthless. The natives are paid forty
cents skin for their labor.

oddIties in a sculptor,s GALLERY.

ST meet some very curious persons"
said sculptor to a Sun reporter. "For
instance, you see me now trying to make
a broken nose. This is the bust of a
Southern merchant who died about
year ago, and his widow insists that, as
he had a broken nose, this portrait of
him should faithfully show the infrm-
ity. But that is nothing. Look, see
here !"
In the corner stood model of a pre-
possessing young face, except that it
was cross-eyed.
ST spent three days in trying to con-
vince the mother of that girl that the
omission would be proper and artistic,
but all to no purpose. She insisted that
it could not be a portrait without that
popularity. I pleaded that the Grecian
and Roman sculptors did not even repre-
sent the eyeball in its natural state, but
the only answer was: Them fellers
could do as they pleased. want my
darter's eyes jist as they wuz.'"

criticise her husbands bust, said that
although he was advanced in years, he
had rosy complexion!

AIRS. She was quite neshy, weighing about 100

ralrs. She was quite feshy, weighing about 100
pounds when in full health, but her fast re-
duced her to about seventy-fve or seventy
eight pounds. She wore old-fashioned,
somber-hued clothing, and was very eccentric
in her manner. It is related Of her that she
was, when q young girl, engaged to be.
married to minister, but he died,
since which time she has been a hypochon-
driac. On the 18th Of January last she COM
menced the fast which ended her days. On the
18th of that month she was found on Upper
Chestnut street in q stupor, and was taken to
the city Jail. She subsequently gave signs of
insanity, and was adjudged insane and sent to
the County Asylum. Every effort was made
TO induce her to eat, but she would not. few
spoonfuls Of milk was once forced upon her,
but this is all, except q little water, and that
only during the last ten days of her life, that
passed her lips. The Superintendent tried
every expedient, and resorted to strategy, but
failed in his attempts to induce her to take
food. The woman had powerful will, and
was determined to starve herself to death.
Her mind was bent on dying, and her object
was accomplished after fast of sixty-three

Mammoth Cave.

Ones general idea of q cave is that OF
an open space under ground, or In
mountain side. Mammoth Gave is made
up of passages, avenues and tortuous
crooks rather than of vast open spaces.
You can take the short route (seven
miles), to be done it two hours, the long
(sixteen miles), to be done in four, or the
combined, to be done IN from five to
twelve or more. We chose the COM
bined. There are avenues down which
one could drive coach and four if fairly
cleared up on the floor. There are
places that are mere cracks, justly named

Stories as Tall as a House.

The Western frontier of our country is
highly prolific in tall stories. Take the
matter of hard blows. A man sitting in
his house, eating pie, heard storm
soming, and ran to the door. The gale
Hrst blew the house down, and then
seized the man, carried him through the
air hundred yards or SO, and landed
him in peach tree. Soon afterward
friendly board from his own house came
coating by. This he seized and placed
Dver his head to protect himself from
the raging blast, and finished his pie.
Out in Nevada it has been told that
during gale, while boulders as big as
pumpkins were flying through the air,
and water-pipes were being ripped out
of the ground, an old Chinaman, with
spectacles on his nose, was observed In
the eastern part of the town seated on
knoll, calmly flying his hte-an iron
shutter, with log chain for tail.
There was q man from Boston who
would not confess astonishment at any
thing he saw in Nevada. As he was
passing hotel in Virginia City the cap
blew from one of the chimneys. 1t was
q circular piece of sheet-iron, painted
black, slightly convex, and the four sup
ports were like legs. The wind carried
It down street, and it went straddling
along like living thing. The Boston
man asked what it was. ga bedbug
from the hotel, was the reply. "By
George, never saw anything like that,
he began, and then added, "outside of
Boston,"
A party of miners In the Black Hills
compared eyes and ears over a camp
fire. One said: "When I was coming
to the hills looked for Indians until 1
could see a mosquito mile away. !"
Another said that his eyes were weak,
but that he could hear gnats jumping on
the rocks four miles. The next man
had listened for Indians until he had
heard the mountain sheep light on their
horns in the Big Mountains, three hum
dred miles away. The fourth, with his
ears until he heard the Chinese mailing
up tea boxes. The fifth, in crossing the
Rocky Mountains, had found petriied

As he loitered on the edge, deer started

The Morey Letter.

It seems that the newspaper Truth, in which
the well-known Morey letter originally ap-
peared, is taking measures to vindicate itself.
Some time since Dana, of the New York Sun,
informed Abram 8. Hewitt, who was Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee, that
the Morey letter had been offered to the Sun,
and after full examination had been rejected
as forgery and returned. Mr.. Dana gave Mr..
Hewitt permission to tell the editors of the
Truth this, but would not agree that the Truth
should print it. The proprietors of the latter
have at length obtained permission to announce
this fact. They claim that it shows clearly that
they did not originate the forged letter, and
further, that Mr.. Dana can and should tell
to whom he returned it. They also claim,
privately, that Mr.. Dana should not have al
lowed the Major of the Truth staff, who was
indicted for forging the letter, to rest under
the charge when it would have been so easy to
have exonerated him. The claim of Truth
is that the letter came to their Office in the
mail, and after examination, and in the belief
that it WAS genuine, they printed it. There
will be an effort made now to ascertain to
whom Dana returned the letter after reject

The disastrous earthquake reported to have
occurred in Costa Rica, later intelligence says,
was in every particular an exaggeration. No
lives were lost and only few buildings were
injured
