THE NATIONAL Cash BOX.

The Monthly Statement Indicates an Item
of Nearly Six and a Half Millions on tho
Wrong Side for February-Receipts and
Expenditures for the First Eight Months
of the Current Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON. March 9. - The public
debt, according to the statement issued
from the Treasury Department, has in
creased Sc, ,443 334 during the past month.
Unusually heavy pension payments,
amounting to $50, ,914, ,954, is assigned as the
chief reason for an increase in the debt
since February 1. The net cash, or sur
plus, in the treasury has decreased about
seventeen millions during the month"; and
now amounts to $4S, ,096, 158, National
bank repositories yesterday held SIS, ,818,
991 of Government funds, or about one
million and a half less than on February
1. The gold fund balance in the treasury
has increased about ST. 00), 900 during the
past month, and amounts to 1896, ,245, $50;
and the silver fund balance, exclusive of
5000, 900 trade dollars bullion, has in
creased s., SOC. 900, and now amounts to
$2f, 1854, ,965.
Government receipts during February
were $50, 133, ,159, against $31, 151, 1881 in Feb
ruary, 1888; the decrease being due to
diminished customs receipts, which this
year in February were SIS, 76S, ,037, against
S19 691 ,O64 in February, 1883.
Expenditures during the past month
were unusually large, owing to heavy
pension payments, and amounted to $33, :
TS6,5l7, or about fourteen million dollars
more than in February, 1888.
The total receipts and expenditures for
the first eight months Of the current fiscal
year, compared with the corresponding
months of the previous year, were as tOl-
lows: Receipts, 1888, $254, ,366, ,915; ex-
penditures, $1S3, ,446, ,929; receipts, 1880,
1856, ,210, ,423; expenditures, SD, ,434 ,625.
This shows an increase IN receipts for the
eight months of the current year over
those of the corresponding period OF the
previous fiscal year of about one million
dollars; and on the other hand an increase
of thirty-nine million dollars in expend-
itures so far this year over expenditures
for the eight months Of last year.

viii get caking Of shellac which is both
unsightly and unpleasant.
Surprising now that you have the handle
as shiny as new high-hat, we will proceed
to put in the frets.
The style known as ''raised" are mostly
used, so should strongly recommend them.
The fret-wires, set of sixteen, must be
bought, and trimmed down to length with a
file. To find out the position they will occu-
py, you must go through the following oper-
alton:
Measure out carefully on paper the dis
lance between the nut on the handle and the
bridge, which is nine inches below the bot
tom of the handle. Divide this space into
eighteen parts with pair Of dividers, and
mark off a distance from the nut equal to
one Of these parts.
That will be the position of the first fret.
From this point measure to the bridge again,
sub-divide into eighteen, and mark of this
new division below the first, and so on for
the whole sixteen.
Thus, each fret is shorter than its imme.
date predecessor in definite proportion.
To put them into the handle, grooves
must be sawed with tenon-saw Of such
thickness that the gaps 1t makes receive
the wires SO tightly that force is required
TO drive them home. One more little thing,
and tho handle is finished. Above the fifth
fret there is small space left to receive
the nut for the thumb-string, and there you
must let in little peg of tooth-br han
die (beg pardonl ivory, 1 mean with
nick at the top to catch the gut.
And now for the hoop. If you be wise,
and have no pecuniary objections to such
course, you will buy one, as it is impossible

skill and tackle usually at his disposal to
hope to make successfully an article whose
manufacture is almost a trade to itself.
OF course the quality varies with the
price paid; but, If possible, obtain one in
which the vellum of the head is to be strung
over metal.
That is the chief secret of clear and ring
ing tone. However, if you are clever
enough to make the hoop yourself. minute
details on my part would be superfluous; so
l will merely state that hoop of oak ten
and half inches internal diameter and two
and quarter inches deep, is covered with
thin sheet-brass, with the edges turned
down over wires.
A ring Of stouter brass, half an inch deep,
fits loosely over the outside of this, and in
company with ring of wire, all the metallic
parts being, if possible, nickel plated.
Brackets and screws, too, you should GER
tainly buy. They are made chiefly by ma
chinery, and any attempt to manufacture
them at home for a less price, except at
terrific expenditure of labor, would be fu-
tile. Moreover you must get vellum head,
a tension tail piece and a screw, and perch
bracket.
Having obtained all this gear, proceed to
satisfy yourself that the projecting-rod at
the bottom Of the handle fits neatly into the
holes provided for its reception in the hoop,
and then set to work pu ting on thevellum,
which will probably irritate you for two

Another thing. Do not send the bit COM
pletely through, but bore from both sides;
otherwise, you are liable to splinter the
wood.
One more hole must be made at z Gig. y
for the reception of the thumb-string peg,
and then all FIVE have to be 'tapered."
This can be done either with ''rimer"
that will fit the center-bit, or more slowly
with rat-tail file; but with either method
great care must be taken that the protrud-
ing parts Of the peg are symmetrical.
Now, you may set to work with file and
sandpaper to finish up. Use the eye freely
to see that the sides balance each other, that
the curves are unbroken by unsightly and
unintentional protuberances, and grind the
surface down as smooth as a looking glass.
When you are firmly persuaded it will
come no finer, well rub in some linseed oil,
and apply your Oldest, finest and most worn
sandpaper again.
Now see the difference! Repeat the oil
ing and rubbing. Still an improvement.
Get some French polish-five cents worth
will be ample-put little on rag and rub
