1t is not yet known how much the

It is not yet known how much the
new tariff has reduced the revenue
During the ninety days ending Sept. 30
there was falling off from last years
customs receipts $9,447 1888, and of in
ternal revenue receipts Of s9,373 500.
Miscellaneous receipts show decrease
$2,733,5l2. The gross reduction for the
three months has thus been S2l ,554 PIG.
It is hard to determine what causes
share in this result. Stimulated produce
~tlon of articles, lighte1ed of internal
revenue taxes. and incre ased imports,
under the lower tariff, would make the
reduction less than it was theoretically
expected to be. At the same time q
large percentage of the receipts in July
were from duties on goods that had,
been waiting in bond for the new tariff
to 60 into effect. One thing is evident
the reduction of duties was far less than
was supposed last March in comparison
with those in the internal. revenue. It
seems doubtful ifthe falling off through
-out the rest of the year will be as great
as in the first quarter, and ifthe entire
reduction exceeds $50, 1000, 600 it will be
quite az mucn as can be reasonably ex-
pected.

The floating gardens of Kashmir, in
Eastern Asia, are among the most re-
markable illustrations Ut human energy.
the more SO that they are the work ol
an essentially indolent population. An
expanse OF water about nine miles in
circumference has been utilized for their
creation, on which masses of weeds,
grasses and ac9uatic plants grow and be.
come intertwined and entangled. These
form the soil as it were on which the
cultivation is carried on. They are cut
level with the surface of the water, ,divis-
ions made in them, and then banked
over with river mud. This soil is sown
with melons and cucumbers, after being
prepared in this manner, and a crop
raised which is unequalled in any coun.
try in quantity and quality. In a good
season these melons and cucumbers are
sold at the rate of ten or twenty for two
cents; in dear seasons they bring two
cents apiece. In Mexico floating gar
dens are built upon much the same plan,
but are usually devoted to the culture OF
flowers.
