Paving the Public Debt.


A statement of the debt eXtnguish-
ment of our country since the var
never cpaops to he Impressive. 1t re-
fleets not only the growth, hut the
patriotism and prosperity of our peo-
pie As no other statistical exhibit
does. The mere fact is startling that
% years ago, less than generation,
the public debt was S2,75G.000, 900,
entailing an annual interest charge
of Sl5l ,000, 900, and it is now only
1921 900, 900. and the interest charge
is but $50, 800 900. The face of the
debt has decreased to One.thlrd its
maximum size, while the interest
charge decreased to One-iifth It's high
est amount, owing to reGunding at
the constantly declining rates Of in
Ierest. In the past 10 years large
proportion of the debt has been eX-
tInguiShed. AT the time Of the 1880
census the public debt was Sl.9I9,-
900, 600, and the interest charge was
$40, 800, 900, so that in Il decade the
debt has been reduced S99S, 900, ,000, or
say $1,000. .00O,OOO.
1t will thus be seen that if the
country remains prosperous and con-
tinues 10 be we'll governed it will he
entirely possible to extinguish the
entire remaining public debt in 10
years. so that the people of the United
States could, if they choose. enter
upon the twentieth century with a
net surplus in the treasury. 1t has
been the historic ii, cal policy of our
country to pay of its debt; we pre-
sumo it will continue to lie.
The present ceusus will show G5,.
600, 900 people in the United States,
in all probability, and this will figure
a debt at the present time of only 81
per inhaL liant, which is small, while
the interest charge of S29 All ,603 en-
tails a tax of less than 81 cents per
year per inhrbitant. Our readers
will see from hi, how slight a bur-
den the national debt is in compare
son with the real taxation, Of the peo-
pie, which is local taxation, ranging
all the way from 50 to Sl9 per ,000.
The problems which confront this
generation Of Americans are not
those of poverty, certainly.

AubreY's Famous Ride.

1.-THE greatest physical achieve
ment ever accomplished in this coun.
try" said John f. Graham TO Den
yer News reporter. "Was the ride of
F. X. Aubrey from the plaza of
Santa Fe. n. NJ, to the public square
at Independence, Mo-. distance of
nearly 500 miles through country
| inhabited by Warlike Indians, a large
part of which WAS then a sandy
| desert,
"It was about the year 1851 that
Aubrey gave his wonderful test o.
human endurance before which all
other attempts of the kind pale into
insignifcance. He was short heavy
set m in, 80 years of age, in the prime
of manhood and strength. His busi-
ness for ten years as Santa Fe trader
had made him perfectly familiar
with the trail and all the stopping
places. He was perfect horseman,
and although there were great riders
in those days none of them cared 10
dispute the palm with Aubrey. On
wager OF 81 600 he undertook TO
ride alone from Santa Fe to Independ-
ence inside of six days. 1t was 80
years ago that he undertook the ter
rible feat. 1t was TO be the supreme
effort of his life, and he sent half
dozen of the swiftest horses ahead to
be stationed at different points for
use in the ride. He lett Santa Fe in
a sweeping gallOp, and that was the
pace he kept up during nearly every
hour of the time until he fell fainting
from his foam covered horse in the
square at Independence. No man
could keep up with the rider, and he
would have killed every horse in the
West rather than to haYe failed in
the undertaking. 1t t ook him just
five days and nineteen hours to per.
! form the feat, and it cost the lives of
several of his best horses. After be-
ing carried into room at the old
hotel in Independence Aubrey lay
for 4S hours in dead stupOr before
he came to his senses. He would
never have recovered from the shock
had it not been for his wonderful
constitution. The feat was unani-
mously regarded by Western men as
the greatest exhibition of strength
and endurance ever known on the
plains"
"What became of Aubrey after
ward ?"
"After his ride he became the lion
of the West and was dined and feted
at st. Louis as though he had been a
cOnguering hero. He finally met his
death at the hand of a friend. One
day in 1854, in an alteration with
Major Richard II. Weightman, the
great rider was stabbed to the heart
and dropped dead in a Santa Fe
saloon. He was buried in an un-
| known grave, and all that Is remem-
bered of Aubrey is his remarkable
ride. Weightman was tried upon
the charge of murder, but was acQult.

Hunting Bee Trees.

The outfit of the hunter for wild
bees consists of box of matches,
some old hOney-cOmo, and q small
box with draw cover and a little
comb honey in it. Proceeding on "a
warm, still, fair day to within a quar-
ter of mile from the woods he pro-
poses to test, in the open field he
builds fire and heats two fiat stones.
Placing one of the heated stones Oh a
convenient stump or rock, he puts
on that piece of old comb and COW
ers it with the other hot stone, and
then draws the lid of the box part
way out, first placing it near the
burning comb, the scent of which at
tracts the bees. and they aIight on the
comb heney. Gorging themselves,
The first one to leave rises high in
the air. but as they come thicker and
faster, they make ''bee line" from
the box to their tree. The hunter
notes this line by some large trees in
the woods. He then CLOSES the lid,
shutting in the bees, and proceeds to
a spot to seek line at a right angle
to the first line. Opening the box,
the imprisoned bees depart directly
to their trees. Having the "cross
line," he follows it up to the point
where it intersects the first line and
there he finds the "bee tree"

there the matter rested,
We had expected to go back to

Infatuated with this "calm retreat"
that we decided to take the house
for another year, and to our supreme
satisfaction Ann agreed to remain
with us.
Meanwhile Cousin Helen had made
lis another visit and Ann, though she
still grieved that any one so good and
Aovable AS Miss Helen should be
guilty of wearing hounces. became
again her ardent admirer. In fact,
so great was Helen's iHAuence over
her that SHE eventually prevailed
upoa her ID wear Il white apron and
"a linen collar. The improvement
made in her appearance by these
simple adjuncts was delight to the
eye, and though at first she wore
them evidently under protest gard
ing them still as "vanities of the
world" her love for Helen final Y
conquered all scruples, and the apron
and collar came to be regarded as AN
Indispensable part of her toilet.
Jackson had gone on ten months
cruise, and as the time drew near for
the ships return Ann grew restless
and absent minded. She went oftener
to owl Rock, and more than once
she became so absorbed in watching
the far off sails as to forget when
O'Clock came.
This went on for several weeks
and then one morning she bIushingly
informed me that Jason was home
again.
"But you ought not to let him
keep on coming TO see you. Ann" l
said "if you are not going to marry
him."
"But perhaps l can do him some
good, ma'am." said the girl, gravely.
"He hasn': any folks of his own, you
know, to help him."
Poor deluded Ann! A week or two
later, with much hesitation and EN-
barrassment, she succeeded in telling
me that she had renewed her prom
ise to Jason.
"And you are really going to
marry him. Ann ?" | exclaimed,
sorry chiefly on my own account.
"Well. you see, ma'am, he's agreed
to give up smokin' an'-an'--"

"Well, no 'm," said Ann, in a
wavering voice. "MaVbe I'ye been

wearin' starched collars it don't
seem more'n fair for me to give in to

Consequently few weeks later we

they will marry Oily such men as are

selves, and that if the husband should
happen to be i'll she will take his Mace
besides retaining her own. A few days

minds to bear such tyranny no longer.
and sent in humble petition to the
heads of the service demanding a re-
lease from the law which condemns
them to celibacy if they do not choose
to marry one of their male colleagues.

ABOUT PERSPlRATION.
An Organ Of Elimination Like the Lungs
and the Kidneys.

An Organ Of Elimination Like the Lungs
IN and the Kidneys.
Nature has expended much labor on
the perspiratory system--has constructed
for each of us many miles of tubing and
millions of secreting glands, each
furnished with its tiny blood-vessel
regulated by it's microscopic nerve
Not only does this system perform an
essential service in keeping the bodily
temperature down to the normal point of
safety, ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit,
by the evaporation of the perspired fluid,
but it is also an organ of elimination
like the kidneys and the lungs.
Sy An nadult excretes a full pound of sweat
daily, and this may be increased to three
or four pounds. From this fact may be
understood both the danger of suddenly
checking the outflow of the poisonous
material, and the advantage, when one
has taken cold, of the Russian bath.
The quantity and character of the fluid
render a frequent change of clothing a
matter of no small Importance.
Some diseases, as acute rheumatism,
phthisis, general debility, are accompa-
MED by excessive perspiration, which is
also sometimes purposely induced by
the use of certain drugs called di-
aphoret;cs. As~we are all aware. the
amount of perspiration is abnormal in
hot weather. The heat of muggy day
is aggravated and made more opprea sive
by the slow evaporation from the sur
face Of the body. The atmosphere is
too fully charged with moisture to
yaporize the sweat. VI
= Excessive sweating is sometimes par
tial, being limited to the soles, palms,
or to one-half of the face, head or body,
and that, too, without any discoverable
canse. The touching of one side of the
tongue with salt will sometimes cause a
profuse perspiration upon the CORE
spending side of the body. 3
Perspiration may also be deficient
This is generally the case in diseases OF
the kidneys, in. the earlystages of fever,
and in certain skin diseases When the
sebaceous or oil secretion is deficient,
there is apt to be like deficiency in
the perspiration, rendering the skin
dry and rough. ~tlAa 3T 'i4 p
Perspiration may have an offensive
odor, especially that which is secreted
by the arm-pits, feet and toes. The
sweat and the isebaceous secretion
undergo chemical change into the fat
ty acids, some of which are like those
found in rancid butter. This condition
is sometimes due to lowered vitality OF
the system. The affected parts should
be repeatedly washed with tar sc~p, and
the linen frequently changed. The
soles of the stockings should be daily
disinfected with saturated solution Of
boracic acid. Cork soles Should be worn
in the shoes, and be similarly disin-
fected.-Youth's Companion.

A Post-Onice Anecdote.

Ihave the following post-office story
vouched for by the name and address OF
a trustworthy informant, or / should
have refused all credence to it. A gen
tleman went into London post-office to
dispatch message partly in German.
The message as written contained the
word .s'damit.n The Intelligent clerk
behind the counter took the suggestive
but innocuous Teutonic adverb for a
''swear word," and declined to transmit
the message until another word was
substituted. Its very gratifying to see
so plainly the influence of the sound
religious principles which prevail in
high places at the post-office; but am
afraid that if such religious zeal is not
tempered with an elementary knowledge
of foreign languages, the moral telegraph
clerk may be treated to ''damit" in plain
English / should like to know, too,
since when restrictions have been in
force as to the character of the language
which may be used in a telegraph form.
1 have never wanted to curse any one
by telegraph; but if wished to relieve
my mind i'm this sway l do not see why
Il should not-of course, on paying my
sixpence for twelve words.
