From the above showing there appears an esti-
mated deficiency in the revenue fund, including the
present overdraft of 1865, 915.99 in 1855. and an
estimated surplus of $167.5OO OF tho same fund in
1884 The present and prospective deficiency in
the revenue fund should engage your early atten-
ton. A further overdraft, excl pt for momenta!y
relief ought not to be considered IAN increase in the
tax levy would bring no relief until another year.
The only resource left is temporary loan. An
issue Of bonds at low rate Of interest to such
to be required after thorough examination,
deemsbe at the pleasure Of the State after one
year from their issue, could be taken by the trust
funds which have carried this overdratt for long

deemed within three years, from the surplus reve-
nue., without increasing the tax levy 10 any consd

Precautions Against Fire.

In view of the recent disastrous con-
hagrations in different parts of the coun-
try the Committee on Personal Safety
Of the Lime-Kiln Club have recon-
mended as follows:
No member of the club will be al
lowed to scratch match on his leg in
Paradise Hall.
No smoking within ten feet of the
wood-box, which hasn't been cleaned
out in three years.
All clay pipes must have brass cover
with hinge, and all cigars must be
smoked over an open tin pail.
In case of fire during session of
the club the ianitor will consult with
the guard in the ante-room and ascer-
tain if all escape has been cut off by the
stairway. If not he will quietly move
that the meeting adjourn to witness q
dog fight in the alley. If the stairway
is one solid sheet of flame, which will
probably be the case, the janitor will
calmly proceed to raise all the alley
windows and inform the meeting that
there is no particular hurry about leav-
ing.
In case the members have to leave
the hall by way of the windows, the
safe will be thrown out first, followed
by Elder Toots, Old Man Jackson, Gum
Arabic Smith and Bless Me Taylor.
Brother Gardner will by this time have
a soft spot TO strike on, and he will be
followed by the other officers in regular
order.
In case there are any broken legs the
victims will be carried into the nearest
grocery for temporary treatment and to
be interviewed by the reporters Each
one will claim that Paradise Hall was
roaring sea of flames before he would
consent to leave it.
In case Samuel Shin attempts to
crowd his way to the window before
his turn comes, Giveadam Jones will be
prepared to stretch him lifeless by
blow from sand club.
If a fire takes place in the hall out
side of meeting, the members will be
expected to make their way there with
all possible dispatch and use every ex-
ertion to save the valuable books and
relics and works of art.
1t was further recommended that the
hall be insured for six times its value,
so that the club would stand some show
of securing actual damages in case of a
fire.
Also, that the Janitor remain for
thirty minutes after the close of each
meeting and hunt around for sparks.
In case he smells anything like burning
cotton or old felt hat he must remain
until he discovers that the plumber next
door is trying to kill the smell of sewer
gas in his own house. The number OF
barrels of water in the ante-room was
increased to twelve, and the Janitor
was instructed TO enter into expert
ments to see il fire extinguisher for
the lodge room could not be constructed
from nail keg, three feet of penstock
hose and pound package of chloride
of lime.

Nineteenth Century Improvement in Stage
kissing,


The Henry WITH kiss is darling. 1t
was invented by Ringold, and his per-
Torrance with it was universally ac-
knowledged as his best piece of acting.
He did not; however, patent it, but it
has not been generally adopted on the
stage owing to the peculiarities of its
construction and difficulties in the way
of properly placing it before the public.
The lady stands in the center of the
stage near the footlights. The gentle
man approaches her from behind, and
placing hand upon each cheek draws
her head back upon his shoulder and
kisses her squarely upon the lips, or APP
parently does so. 1t is long kiss, and
lips must remain to lips for minute or
more. The process seems simple one,
but it is not, as any may discover who
will attempt it. The lady must enter
fully into the requirements of the situa-
ton else there will be a complete fiasco
or considerable marring of the effect
Her head must sink upon the gentle
mans shoulder neither too rapidly nor
yet too slowly. 1t must not fall there
plump, as if hit by cannon ball, nor
90 down with jerky movement, as if it
were piece of machinery out of order.
1t must lower easily and gracefully.
And much also depends upon the gen
tleman. He must keep his presence of
mind and not grab the head nor go at it
as if anxious TO get at the kiss part as
quickly as possible. If he does, all the
poetry is gone out of the scene. He
must take the head in his hands as soft
ly as he would something he feared to
squash if he squeezed too hard, and then
proceed with calm discretion and q
gentle forcing of the head toward him.
If the lady responds as she ought, sue
cess is certain, and there is an i'm
mense sensation among the people in
'front.' These minute directions for the
Henry WITH kiss are thought apropos as
this is the amateur theatrical season,
and the recipe which have seen going
the round of the papers is so wantingi in
details that if the kiss were tried solely
according to that it would not work
well.
Stage kissing, up to the invention of
the Henry WITH kiss, was about as cold
blooded proceeding as could be i'm
agined, and even these comparatively
new kisses are not half what they seem.
They look real enough from the front,
but there is often lot of humbug about
them, and likely as not the lips do not
touch at all and the apparently exceed
ingly affectionate lady is wondering if
her dress is hanging in the right folds.
The old-time stage kiss may be placed
anywhere about the face. The forehead
is usually selected sometimes the spot
is just back of the ear, and occasionally,
My occasionally, where it cannot be
.voided, the cheek. The lips are almost
never chosen. The old-time kiss still
remains most in favor. The actress will
kiss a gentleman upon the stage, if her
part requires, with no more concern
than the society lady will shake hands.
1t is part of her trade and she goes
through with it as mere matter of
course Philadelphia Record.

Sad Southern Stories,

A musical man, accompanied by q
hand organ and child, has been Civ

week in the streets of Austin. After he
had twisted one of the Beethoven, soul

ments of torture, the artist sent the

who had just voted on the fixing of the

child.

He was tall, sour-looking man,
from the Pacos, and he was gazing with
interest on the newly-painted Indian of
a San Antonio tobacco-store.
"That amt like no Indian" he NUT
tered.

bacconist, who was proud of his sign.

''you are not near enough to it. Step
up and examine it closely, and you
will see the resemblance"
THAT is exactly what kills the re-
semblance," said the man from the Pa
cos; 'for you never can get near the
real Indian when you are looking for
him, and he does not care to let you
examine him too closely"

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it. out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
