The wonderful increase of the public debt
of European states within the last few years
suggests the question, "Whither will this ten
dency lead themf' In 1870 the total indebted
ness was SIS, 200, 0o0, 900. This has been in
creased to the amount of sos, 1000, OoO, 900 in
1886. In sixteen years, therefore, the public
debt has increased $1,000, 000, 900. During
this period the reduction of interest has been
going on just as it has done in the United
States. England is now arranging to reduce
her interest from 8 to 216 per cent. and the
other European governments are attempting
to reduce the rate of interest from 5 and 6 to
8, 4, and AZ per cent.
The immense reduction OF interest, how
ever, does not seem to benefit the people, for
the governments take advantage of it to in
crease their total Indebtedness. Here we are
paying off the debt and reducing the interest
at the same time; in Europe they are reduc-
ing the rate of interest, but are increasing
the nominal capital of the debt, so that no
reduction Of taxes can take place. The total
annual interest upon European Indebtedness
is about s1,07o, 0O0, 900, while the total annual
expenditures of the war and navy depart
ments Of the same government reaches tbs
enormous sum of 5000, 000, 1000. The European
powers are all of them troubled with financial
difficulties. They are immensely in debt;
yet the political situation is such as to re-
quire increased They cannot
go to war because they have not the financial
credit to extend their indebtedness; and the
question now is; "How can this intricate
situation be Observation-Disclosures Times

THE PLEASURES OF aANcHlNa.


.ife in the Cattle Country-C1ouds OF
SIusQuitoes-In n Rain.
For bedding, each man has two or three
pairs or blankets, and a ~tarpaulin or small
wagon sheet Usually, two or three sleep to
gether. Even in June the nights are gener-
ally cool and pleasant, and it is chilly in the
early mornings; although this is not always
so, and when the weather stays hot ana mus
quitoes are plenty, rhe hours of darkness,
even in midsummer, seem painfully long. In
the Bad Lands proper we are not often both

but in the low bottoms of the Big Missouri,
and besidc many of the reedy ponds and
great sloughs out on the prairie, they are 3
perfect scourge. During the very hot nights,
when they are especially active, the bed
clothes make a man feel absolutely smoth-
cred, and yet his only chance for sleep is to
wrap himself tightly up, head and all; and
even then some of the pests force their way in
At sunset 1 have seen the mosquitoes rice
up from the lane like a dense cloud, to make
the hot, sitting night one long torture; the
horses would neither lie down nor Craze,
travelling restlessly to and fro tin daybreak,
their bodies streaked and bloody, and the in
sects settling on them SO as to make them all
one color, a uniform gray; while the men,
after a few hours tossing about in the vain
attempt to sleep, rose, built a fire of damp
sage brush, and thus endured the misery as
best they could until it was light enough to
work. But if the weather is fine, a man will
never sleep better nor more pleasantly than
in the open air after a hard days work on
the round up; nor will an ordinary shower
or gust of wind disturb him in the least, for
he simply draws the tarpaulin over his head
and goes on sleeping.
But now and then we nave a wind storm
that might better be called a whirlwind, and
has to be met very differently; and two or
three days or nights of rain insure the wet
ting of the blankets, and, therefore,, SILVER
ing discomfort on the part of the would-be
sleeper. For two or three hours all goes
well, and it is rather soothing to listen to the
steady patter of the great rain drops on the
canvas But then it will be found that O
corner has been left open through which the
water can get in, or else the tarpaulin will
begin to leak somewhere, or perhaps the
winter will have collected in a hollow under
meath and have begun to soak through. Soon
a little stream trickles in, and every effort to
remedy matters merely results in a change
for the worse. To move out of the way in
sures getting wet in a fresh spot, and the best
course is to lie still and sccePt the evils that
have come with what fortitude one can.

The Indian Forester publishes the diary of
an expedition which recently assembled the
Chindwin river, in Upper Burmah. The
writer describes a village called Kawya, on
the river, where the people are wholly de-
voted to the cultivation of tea, and which
may be considered as the southern limit of
the tea plant in this region. Before planting
the ground Is cleared of all underground, but
high trees, even those of the densest foliage,
are left standing. The seedlings, which are
usually raised indoors, are planted out in
rows at the beginning of the rains, and the
first pickings take place when the plant is 3
or 4 years old When it grows too large it is
cut down, and three or four new stems shoot
out from the stool The leaves are plucked
and Immediately stepped in boiling water for
a short time; they are then taken out,
strained, thoroughly kneaded with the hands,
and pressed into bamboo baskets, when they
are ready for market, and fetch locally four
rupees per 100 pounds
This ''pickled tea, :" as 1t is called by Euro
peans, lepet being the Burmese name, is
ioated dow the river in baskets or hollow
bamboos, which are carefully kept below the
surface of the water to preserve the quality
of their contents. Lepet is q f~avorite among
the Burmese, who mix salt, sesamum oil and
other ingredients with it To the ordinary
European it's taste is as bad as its smell,
which is saying q good deal. The soil along
the Chindwin is eminently suitable for tea
cultivation; the plant grows wild on all the
hills and attains enormous dimensions One
tree which was found neglected in a corner
measured eighteen inches in girth at one foot
from the ground, and was fully twenty feet
high.-Chicago Times

oueer SIGN ro.t, for streots.

Formerly oil the streets In Merida were
distinguished in a manner peculiar to Yucca
tan by images Of birds or beasts set up at the
corners, and many still retain the ancient
sign for example, the street upon which we
are living is called La Gale del Flamingo,
because of a huge red famingo painted on
the corner house Another is known as the
street of the Elephant, and the representa-
tion of 1t is an exaggerated animal, with
curved trunk and a body as big Us a barrel
There is the street Of the Old Woman, and
on its corner is the caricature of an aged
female, with huge spectacles astride her
nose. The street of the Two Faces has q
double faced bupnan head; and theSe are
others equally striking. The reason for this
kindergarten SOFT of nomenclature was be-
cause when the streets were named the great
mass of inhabitants were Indians who could
not read, and Therefore printed signs would
nave boen no use to them, but the picture OF

A novel bet was won and lost in q Vine
street resort the other evening. A party
of gentlemen were INDUCING in a social
glass, and finally the conversation turned
upon the quality of liquors and the ability
of certain persons to judge them by the
sense of smell and taste One man in the
party claimed that the best judges could
be fooled by the c~ompounders, and, after
the argument became quite warm, made
the astounding assertion that a large per
centage of bar patrons did not know what
they were drinking.
The debate grew hotter and hotter, and
finally the man who had advanced such
outrageous ideas offered to bet a basket
of wine that he could confound any n Of
the party so that he could not tell water
from whisky. John Hummel, the circus
man, who has had a varied experience in
the drinking line, accepted the wager, and
the p~reliminaries began John was first
heavily blindfolded, and hen a number of
glasses, containing water, milk. whisky,
sherry, claret, Rhine wine and gin were
set out on the bar. They were handed to
the blindfolded man one at a time, and he
was told to name the liquor after tasting
it. He got through the list bravely until
he came to the gin. which he called port
wine. Then the man started him back.
but it was soon very evident that Hum
mel's palate had lost its power. He called
milk water, and finally was forced to ad-
init that all the liquors tasted alike, and
that he had lost his bet. 1t was some
time before he was able to enjoy the wine
he had lost.-Cincinnnti Enquirer.

OF course, the soldiers and their COM

good natured men, and paid no attention
to these little transgressions" of the

of the convicts, and as the latter had a
marvellous ability for "sizing up" their

CUTTING OFF HIS OWN LEG,

A woodsman belonging to a little
town in Wisconsin was caught
while telling trees in a neighboring
forest by a falling trunk, and one
of his legs was pinioned and held
as if in a wise, just below the knee.
The unfortunate man was alone,
and too far from the nearest camp
to make his voice heard. His ak
had been dashed from his hands
and he could not reach it. Night
was approaching and hungry wolves
were commencing to howl about
him. He recognized that to remain
there was to die, and the prospect
of becoming a helpless victim to
wild beasts nerved him to despera-
ton. Removing his suspenders,
and binding them as tightly as pos
sible about his imprisoned leg, he
inserted the blade of his jack-knife
at the knee, cut away his clothing
and flesh, severed the joint and
raised himself from the dealthy
trap, leaving the lower limb as the
CHASTITY evidence of his cool de-
termination.
He managed to crawl to his AK,
with which he cut a sapling and
made rough crutch. With it's
aid he made his way slowly to
camp, nearly four miles distant,
frequently lying down in the snow
for rest. 1t was long and very
painful journey, and he hobbled
into camp just as his strength was
about to give out. Medical atten-
dance was secured, and-the self-am-
putation was given proper dressing.
The man is still alive, and the de-
tailed statement from his own lips
of what he suffered physically and
mentally during his experience in
the relentless tree-clasp, and Of the
thoughts that nerved him up to
carving his own leg, are of an ex-
ceptionally thrilling nature. The
morning following the injured
woodman's arrival in camp some
Of his companions visited the spot
where he met with his accident.
The wolves had been there, torn
the covering from the foot and leg
and gnawed away the flesh, leaving
a smooth polish on the bones.

What a Cat Knows.

Said Mr.. Bowditch, the druggist,
with a merry twinkle in his eye !:
"Iv'e got some knowing cats. A
fellow was giving me some pretty
stiff talk about a trained dog of
his, so I told him that | had a cat
that could tell the different denom-
nations of money. He didn't be-
lieve it, so | took a dollar bill and
five dollar bill, and unbeknown
to him scented the five with catnip.
/ then laid them on the floor and
said to the cat: Now, Tom, take
your choice, but you are a fool if
you don't take the five.' The cat
jumped down ard smelled the bills,
and finally with his paw poked out
to one side the one with the catnip
on it. Well, sir, that fellow hasn't
recovered yet from the surprise that
cats sagacity gave him. Augusta
