THE VANISHING SURPLUS.
 Now that the people have got the effect of the silver bill all figured out they have gone to figuring on the deficit which is going to stare the national treasury in the face before long. The sum of the appropriations, in- cluding the permanent annual appropriation for interest on tho public debt, the sinking fund and some other purposes, is given at $460, ,000, 900, as the appropriation bills now stand. The estimated revenues of the fiscal year, including the revenue from the post. ofice, are $450, 100000. This would be. therefore, an apparent dsaoit of nearly ten millions. But the appropriation, as above stated, do not include the expenditures made necessary by the new pension bill, estimated at twenty five millions for the current year, and much more for subsequent years, nor the expenditure of them from three to five millions under the shipping and postal subsidy bills, If they should become laws, nor the miscellaneous appropriations of ten millions or more which are passed every year in separate bills for various purposes. These would swell the aggregate appropriations to | about $498, ,000, ,000; and, on the other side, no allowance is made in the estimate of rev. enue for the decrease to be caused by the Mckinley bill, if it should become law. This decrease may be more or less, according to the form which tho tariff bill may finally assume, but twenty five millions is not ar excessive estimate apparently. This would reduce the revenue to $4s5, ,50O, 900, and swell
 the deficit to $7S. .0OO, ,0O0. But it is expected that there will be extra funds enough avail
 able to make things come out right thil year. After that ths case may be different

Changed styles in Chairs.

kr
 The styles in chairs have changed wonder fully within the past five years. It used to be that only the very toughest makes of chairs were at all comfortable, and it seemed to be the idea with the furniture dealers that elegance and discomfort were irsepsrable. Every one remembers the big, ugly chairs that were so pleasant and easy to sit in, and that were always kept out of sight in the back sitting room, while the psrlor at the same time was full of good looking, costly chairs that were worth money to sit in.
 You still see lots of this kind of straight backed chairs with forward inclination of the seat in such places as the lecture rooms of churches. When @ man sits in one of these he is obliged to cross his legs in order to get into a comfortable position. But most of the orders at the factories now come for common suite chairs, with back just high enough to catch the shoulders of man five feet eight inches in height, and with ( seat inolining backward. In such chail one naturally sits erect, with feet flat on thu floor and legs bent in natural angle. think the change in the character of ths chairs began with the craze of physical cul ture. It is good thing for the factories These chairs are used more than the other were, and of course wear out faster.

From the New Hork IlmeS.l
 A gentleman went to an up town thsater the other night with @ pair of opera glasses in bis pocket. For the sake of convenience he left the bulky case at home, and thereby unconseiously aroused the suspicious of sn observaEt usher. The seats of the thester in question happened to be equipped with the drop-a- quarter -in-the-slot-opera-glass boxes. It was a warm evening. and the gentleman found 1t necessary to step out after the trsl act. As he walked up the aisle he deposited his opera glass in one of coat tail pockets The observant usher saw the action and bounced upon the innocent minded man ir the lobby.
 "Say, i'll trouble you fer that op'ra glass, said the usher, brusquely.
 "I guess not," replied the gentlemen,
 somewhat startled and embarrassed. "Thes' glasses are my property" Saying which hs drew them forth and held them up for th, usher's inspection.
 "Nsw yer don't" exclaimed that worthy making deftly parried grab for the glasses "them glasses b'long to the house. Whereh yer case fer 'emf"
 The fact that the owner of the glasse could not produce 6 case for them impressed the usher and two other attaches of the the ater as conclusive proof that the gentlema | had taken them from the slot box in front c his seat, and they became abusive an | threatening. Finally, to convince them thi | he was no thief, he led the way to his sea | pushed a quarter into the slot of the box di | rectly in front of where he had been sitting | and lol another pair of opera glasses sI | peared. Then he put gilt edge on his vir dication by showing the spologetic theat' | attaches that his own opera glasses were tc \ large to go into the slot box. Even then ! | did not get his quarter back.

phobia he discovered the cause of . mysteri- ous disease among silkworms. which threat ened to destroy the silkworm industry in France, and applied e remedy. The wine- growers of France and Italy complained of their vines being slow to mature and the grapes to turn sour; Pasteur's Investigations of the yeast germs taught the grower how these evils could be cured. He discovered the microbe which propsgatss disease in sheep. and suggested e remedy. These discoveries represent gain to the community of many millions of dollars, but the great scientist has made no effort to profit personally from any of them.
 Woman continues to march on. One of her latest appearances was on Broadway, New York. She was tall, thin, and thirty, and her clothes were built upon the plans of @ mans evening dress. Her skirt was of black stuff, drawn rather tightly, and hang ing in such an adept arrangement of folds as to make 1t necessary for one to look twice in order to become convinced she was really not wearing trousers. She had on e low-cut
 
 tons, and fashioned just like a mans dress waistcoat. Her shirt was of linen, open in front, with two studs. It was topped with 6 standing collar, and she wore e regulation small lawn tic. The coat was in accord, be- ing of the same black material as her troussr skirts, aud out with the shawl collar and swallow tail back once the exclusive privilege of men. The woman's hat was flat -brimmed black straw, and she swung ar umbrella SO tightly wrapped that 1t looked like cane.
 Moltke, who will be ninety years old ii October next, ,has recently written to frien' as follows: "I can never have said that bee is Germany's greatest enemy On the con trary. wish we could brow good, light an cheap beer for the people. The price at fl teen or even ten pfonnigs tho glass is too big for them. h south Germany tho people hay cheap cider. Hero In north Germany, unfol tunately, 1t is only spirits that are cheap.
 myself drink neither beer nor spirits, br regard complete abstinence from them [ neither desirable nor practicable. It is, fC instance, often necessary in the field or aft exhausting work for Q man to revive b strength, If only for the time being. oul the abuse of alcohol, which Is unfortunatel great, is harmful, and this indeed is one { Germany's greatest enemies. A healthy pe son, provided he does not exert himself in moderately, does not need any such stimulus and 1t is simply sinful to give 1t to childreI as is unfortunately often done. The san may be said of the unoivilized races, who al also mere children. I wish that coffee, ts and light beer were cheap and spirits dear.

LYNX-RYED JUSTICE

A patent is @ patent. This valuable truth is illustrated in Q decision which has been handed down in the United States case of infringement of @ patent on a corn cob pipe. The claim of the plaintiff is new article of manufacture, smoking pipe made of corn cob, in which the interstices are filled with a plastic, self-hardening cement. Upon first impression 1t would seem that the old Jackson pipe ih substan- tially the same thing as the pipe of the patent. But that was Q corn-cob pipe in which the inside of the bowl was lined with plastic cement to freproof 1t, whereas the pipe of the patent Is one in which the inter stices of the cob are filled with cement. These interstices, or cells, which hold the corn are on the exterior of the cob, and al though in some instances they could be filled from the inside of the bowl, that would not be a practical way of fill ing them, and when cobs of large or medium size are used for the bowl ss they generally are, the interstices can only be filled from the outside. Said the judge: The
  the art, and the claim Is to be interpreted, as its language naturally imports, as one for 8 pipe in which the exterior interstices of the | cob are filled with a plastic cement. Such pipe supplies @ sweet and porous receptacle for tobacco. having characteristics which are we'll understood by smokers to be desirable and is very different thing from one with { cement lined bowl. It did not involve in' vention of any high order to make such 6 pipe, but there was enough to convert poo article into a good one, and supply some thing to the trade which was new and tn, merits of which were immediately and gen erally recognized. If the defendent choose to see the old "Jackson pipe," he is at 1ibert. to do so, but he has appropriated the right of the complainant by selling the pipe of thu patent and must take the consequences.
 Put this in your pipe and smoke 1t.

 In paper which was read before the con- gregational association at Mount Holyoke the other day, Professor Morse, of Amherst, attempted to show that the general with- drawal of the we'll. .to.do to summer resorts is working harmful separation in American society. It accentuates the division between the rich and the poor. Besides, the summer resort movement takes away from civil life some of it's most important clements, even the church joining in the hegira. There is good deal in the point here made, and 1t if worthy of consideration by social philo' sophers.
