The GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

The Finance Minister'S state
ment for the quarter ending with
the year 1888 shows the Government
finances to be in healthy condi-
ton. At the beginning of the
quarter there was balance in the
Treasury of l44,53S.0l. The re-
ceipts from all sources during the
quarter, including deposits In the
Postal Savings Bank of $118, 900,
amount TO S6Gl ,259.97. This added
to the balance from the previous
quarter makes total of SS05, ,797.-
SO, The expenditures for the
quarter foot up to $427, ,056.77,
leaving in the Treasury to begin the
year the respectable sum of $685.
74l.2l.
The principal item of revenue is
1929, ,887.G5, from internal taxes.
The quarter might be called the tax
collecting quarter, and although the
whole of the annual taxes is not yet
in, much the larger portion thereof
is. SO the Government income for
the quarter covered by the Minis
ter's statement is necessarily larger
than for either of the other three
quarters of the year.
The statement of expenditures is
extremely bald, the amounts ex-
pended in each Department of Gov
ernment being about all the particu-
lars given. No doubt, some of the
interested and curious public would
prefer a more detailed statement ;

BERETANlA STREET.

EDITOR BULLETIN:- Who is to
blame for the disgraceful condition
in which Bcretania street is in at
present.
While little used side street are
put in good order, this much travel
led and important street seems to
have to take care of itself.
Some say the Government are
waiting for the Tramways Co. to
get their track down, while others
say the Tramways Co. are waiting
for the Government to grade the
street, and 1t looks to me if both
were true. BERETANIA.

A contributor TO The Freisinnige Zei-
tung has collected from all the foremost
nations Of the world a heap Of proverbs
Of men concerning women" It appears
from them that the southern people, who
count themselves the most chivalrous
and gallant toward the ladies, are more
coarse and insulting in their proverbs
than the colder northerners. Although
the Germans, the Scandinavians and the
English are not complimentary to wo-
men in their proverbs, they are rarely
brutal"
The Frenchman says: "a man who
has o wife has plague" ga man made
of straw is worth double as much as q
woman made Of gold" The Spaniard
says; "a woman's advice is never of any
use, but unless you follow 1t she win rail
at you as a fool" BE on your guard
against bad woman, but do not put
your trust in a good woman" "There
is only one bad woman, but every hus-
band believes he possesses her." The
Italians say: "If q man loses his wife and
a farthing, he has only lost farthing." p"
The chief failings of the sex, according
to whole host of English and German
proverbs, are changeableness and talka-
tiveness, the former of which is equally
true of men and the latter not disagreea-
BILE to men in the Latin nations.
The charge that "Women's minds and
April winds often change, " and the state
ment that ga woman's strength lies In
her tongue" appear to be accepted in
various readings throughout northern
Europe. The specimen of Yankee
proverb is characteristic: Women can
keep a secret, but it takes q big crowd OF
them to do it." The Chinese say that
"a woman's tongue is her sword" but
"she never let's it grow rusty."-New
York Sun.

Losing His Violin Finger.

heard of an incident which occurred
in horse car here in Boston recently
which illustrates anew the need of care
by occupants to avoid injuring their fell
low passengers. A manly little fellow
had the end of one Of his fingers cut off
by the door of box horse car being
jammed against it by needless passen-
ger. The car was crowded so that the
boy was obliged to stand up, and not
being tall enough to reach the straps he
held on by the open door Of the car. As
one of the passengers went out he pulled
the door violently and shut it against the
boys finger, leaving it hanging by a
thread. Attempts were made by a sur
geon to whom the boys father took him
to have the severed piece Joined to the
stump, but it would not hold. What
adds to the misfortune Of the boys loss
is that he is studying to be professional
violinist, his father being well known
performer on this instrument, and the
finger mutilated is his "violin finger. -

He Heard About His Grave.

DO you know my grave was dug in
this town during the war for me to be
buried in?' said gentleman in our Office
last Thursday.
"No, sir; we never met you before"
"Well, it was. My name is Crane,
and I was sergeant in company G, One
Hundred and Twenty-fourth Indiana
regiment. Twas sick nigh unto death
in hospital in Marietta, and heard the
doctor say to man who entered the
room: How many graves are you having
dugT Three was the response. Well,
dig one about foot longer than the
usuaf length. for that tall sergeant will
be dead by morning. and the instruc-
items were carried out, but you see I did
not fill that grave"
"No, you don't look like a resurrected
corpse"
"The reason / didn't die was got bet
ter the next morning and ate raspberry
jam, determined not to fill grave that
was dug before / died. - Marietta ga.

The Sin Of Lying.

The emperor of Russia, when upon a
tour of inspection in the provinces,
passed the night in the simple hut of the
toll taker. Before retiring he was
pleased, as the head of the church, to
see the old man take up his Bible and
read chapter. "Do you read often,
my SOM" he asked. eyes, your majes-
ty, every day." How much of the
Bible have you read, my SOM" Dur
ing tho past year the Old Testament and
part of Matthew, your majesty"
Thinking to reward him, the czar
placed 500 rubles between the leaves of
the Book of Mark on the following morn
ing, unknown to the toll keeper, whom
he bade farewell Several months
passed away and the emperor returned,
upon q second tour, to the toll takers
hut. Taking the Bible in his hands he
was surprised to find the 500 rubles in
tact. Again i1terrogating the toll keep.
er as to his diligence in reading he re-
ceived an affirmative answer and the
statement that he had finished the chap.
ters of Luke.
Lying, my son, is great sin,' re-
piled his majesty; give me the Bible
till see." Opening the book he pointed
to the money, which the man had moi
seen. Thou hast not sought the king
dom of God, my son. As punishment
thou shalt also lose thy earthly reward.
And he placed the rubles in his pocket
to distribute afterward among the neigh
boring poor.-London Standard.

Daneer in cslIuIold.

Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores Of other articles Of con-
venience, utility ard even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in daily
use by large numbers of the people.
The question is asked, May they be
safely usedY Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plesive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with
mixture Of two parts Of nitric acid and
five parts of sulPhuric acid. The cellu-
lose Of the paper, derived from the eel
lular tissue Of the cotton in common use,
is changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make celluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncombined acid, II is reduced to no.
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about one-third of its weight of
gum camphor.
These materials ara mixed as uniform
ly as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden Instruments, and then by
grinding. Tbe pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for sale and use. Al
though gun cotton is easily manufact-
ured, its manufacture for experiment or
for general use isnot recommended; and,
although celluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care, bonfire Of
such articles for amusement is not rec
commended. No injuries from such use
have been reported. A word to the wise,
however, suffices.-American Analyst.

The 1904 Dollar.

"There is something curious about the
American silver dollar and half dol
lar of 1904" said a numismatist. "There
were about 10000 of the dollars coined,
but not one of them ever got into circu-
lation. Two of them are in well known
coin collections today, however, and
they are the most valuable of all Amer
ican coins. Why the dollar of 1904 was
never seen in circulation after leaving
the mint is one of the unsolved govern
ment mysteries. 1t is asserted on good
authority that the two 1904 dollars now
in existence, while having been made
from the original die, were in reality
not coined for many years after that
year, when they were surreptitiously
struck, and, it is supposed, issued to a
person high in authority, from whom
they subsequently passed into the collec.
tions referred to. The half dollar OF
1904 is surrounded by mystery equally
profound. There were over 100000 oi
these coined, but not one of these were
ever known to be in circulation. On thl
other hand, but 700 quarter dollars were
coined in that year, and specimens oi
these are in every collection and numis
matist's shop."-Philadelphia Press.

Difference In ERgs.

In form and general aspect the differ
ence among birds eggs is endless. Some
are elongated, some are spherical, some
are dull on the surface, some are polished,
some are dark and others gray or white,
others very bright. The shape of eggs
offers as much diversity as their size and
weight. They may be thrown, however,
into six different or typical forms-the
cylindrical, the oval, the spherical, the
ovicular, ovieonical and the elliptic. The
ovicular form of eggs belongs to the Pas
sere and Galliac@, the ovcid to the ra-
pacious birds and the Palmipedes, the
conical to the wading birds and some
Palmipedes, the short to some game and
many stilted birds and the spherical to
nocturnal birds of prey and the kingfsher.
If farmer has flock of 100 hens they
produce in egg shells about 1877 pounds of
chalk annually; and yet not pound Of
the substance, or perhaps not even an
ounce, exists around the farm house
within the circuit of their feeding
grounds. The materials of their manu-.
facture are found in the food consumed
and in the sand, pebble stones, brick
dust, bits of bones, ETC., which hens and
other birds are continually picking from
the earth. The instinct is keen for these
apparently innutritious and refractory
substances, and they are devoured with
as eager relish as the cereal grains OIL
insects. If hens are confined to barns OF
outbuildings it is obvious that the egg
producing machinery cannot be KEEP
long in action unless the materials fol
the shell are supplied in ample abun
dance.-Popular Science.

Pure Air from Coal.

An Englishman is credited with the
discovery of a method of producing per-
pectly pure air from the combustion of
coal. The process is very simple, and is
described as follows: 1t consists of a
brick chamber about 5x2x2 feet, built
upon the ground At one end is feed
chamber and fuel chamber, and at the
other powerful exhaust and blast fan.
Placed intermediately between the cham
Der and the fan are baffic plates, spli:ting
plates, a standing bridge with perfor-
ations at the back, and hanging bridge
with perforations at the front. There
are also several carefully proportioned
inlets to supply the exact quantity of air
requisite for perfect combustion. Issu-
ing from fan mouth of twelve inches
in diameter. comes rushing a column of
hot air, marking on the pyrometer at its
exit steady, uniform temperature Of
500 degs Fahrenheit. Not trace of
smoke or fume is visible to the eye; not
taint of any kind is perceptible to the
taste or smen.--New York Telegram.

A Queer Mine of Valuable Wood.

Forty miles above New Orleans is the
old bed of the Bonnet Carre crevasse.
Fifteen years ago the Father of Waters
burst his bolts and swept through there
to Lake Pontchartrain. Five years ago
the state Of Louisiana, with the assist
ance of the Mississippi Valley railroad,
rebuilt the Bonnet Carre levee, but it
could not restore altogether the condi-
tions prevailing antecedent to the Gre
vase. The river in the ten years it
passed through the swamp piled up its
sands against the big cypress forests
there. 1t has left behind buried for
est. The piled up sand has deadened
nearly all the trees, and shingle mill
is now at work there manufacturing
them into shingles with all the rapidity
with which that machine works. New

The pleasures of coffee are by no means
dissipated in the warm weather, when
"hot coffee" is not needed as means of
defying the discomfort of cold weather.
Cold coffee is delicious beverage when
well made. Coffee ice made of strong
coffee frozen in a freezer, and served in
cups with whipped cream, is dainty
dessert or convenient part of the after
noon tea menu; coffee soda is peculiar
summer drink, and few people accus-
toned to the morning cup of coffee
make any difference on account Of the
weather in this most important feature
of the breakfast table. An expert in
coffee maintains that the best coffee is
made in the old fashioned tin coffee pot.
''Don't give me any new patent arrange
ment for making Coffee" he says; "the
old tin pot is the only kind of cooking
utensil that preserves the aroma and the
full flavor of the Coffee,
After the coffee has been boiled and
settled pour it in good strength upon a
cup half filled with cream and hot milk.
Most true coffee epicures have bever-
age prepared with full strength that will
give delicious aroma and n true but
delicate favor to cup of rich cream
and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the
average American drinks about the same
amount of coffee now that he did eigh
teen years ago. In 1870 the average
consumption for each person was sever
and one-half pounds, in 1883 it was sever
and two-thirds pounds, showing that tht
taste for coffee neither increases nor de
creases.-Boston Journal.

Long and Ouick bumps.

Harry Kennedy, the ventriloquist, has
been pluming himself upon a long
'jump" made by him from New York
to San Francisco and back. He made
the trip in one day less than month,
and played two weeks in San Francisco.
But George Rignold has the best record
at this sort of theatrical travelling. He
went from San Francisco direct to New
York to play at charity matinee, and
at the close of the performance went
direct to the depot, and was at once
headed back for San Francisco. He did
not tarry there either, but proceeded to
Australia.-San Francisco Argonaut.
