safely asserted that there will be q deficiency
during the present fiscal year of at least 444,-
O4, 394O7, and in the Department Of Justice Of
not less than s675,OOO, and in the Office of pub
lie printer S4S7, O00-to say nothing as to the
other branches Of the public service. In ad-
dltion to the appropriations to which We have
called attention. the present Congress have
authorized contracts for the manufacture Of
heavy ordnance to the extent of s. IT'S, 900; for
the construction Of war vessels, which, when
completed and armed, will cost &A, 225. 600.
aud for the improvement of certain harbors
and waterways to the extent of GA, 822,979
Concluding. We confidently venture the opin-
Ion that, taking the estimates given by the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury as q basis. the revenues
including postal receipts during the present
fiscal year will not be sufficient to meet the eI-
penditures, which has not occurred since 1896
To the assertion, if made, that ESQ, 600, 600 or
more OF the appropriations by the present Con.
Rress have been for deficiencies Tor the past
and preceding years and should, therefore, be
charged against those years, the answer u that
the deficiences for tho present year will more
than Offset all appropriations made by the pres
emit Congress to supply tho DEFICIENCIES Of other
years.
There il some question, however, a. 70
whether or not the republican majority will ct
the next session Of Congress appropriate sufi-
cfently to cover the DEFICIENCIES OF this fiscal
year. 1t u believed by many that they win not
but that they will prefer to unload them upon
their successors, especially they should be

PAPER Pillows.

The latest fad in England is pa
per pillows. The paper is torn into
very small pieces, not bigger than
the finger nail, and then put into a
pillow sack of drilling or light tick
ing. They are very cool for hot
climates, and much superior to
feather pillows. The newspapers
are printing appeals for them for
hospitals: Newspapers are not
nice TO use, as they have q disa,
sreeahle odor OF printers ink; but
brown or white paper and old let
tiers and envelopes are the best
The finer the paper is cut or torn,
he lighter it makes the pillow

Facts for Frnit Growers.

One who talks like an expert
cultiyator declares that big pile
of manure is the fruit-grower's
bank. He adds that to raise
strawberries successfully the
ground must have rested the year
previously as summer fallow.
Currants will bear fruit for TWEEN
ty.fve years. and not lose their
yigor. An established home mar
ket is worth five foreign ones.
Three or four varieties of grapes
are better than large number
Grapes do not pay AS we'll as
straw berries, but they. pay 2O(
per cent. better than common
farm crops. TO succeed, q man
must know his trade, be vigilant
and honest, and not expect to get
rich all ut once.

Presence of Mind.

How few people are blessed with
presence of mud when danger
threatens! A lamp explodes; five
ont of six run screaming from the
vicinity, leaving it to do it's deadly
work unchecked; the sixth snatch
es up IL wollen shawl or blanket
and smothers the flames. A wo-
man faints in public place. A
struggling, suffocating crowd
presses about. Suddenly three or
four in the crowd begin to ex.
claim, "Stand back! Give her air!'
But not one Of them makes q
move to stand back himself, and
the crowd gathers more and more
closely, until some one with the
gift of leadership comes to the
rescue. The wheels of a carriage
become lnterlocked with those of
a heavy wagon. The horses are
terrified and FESTIVE; an accident
seems certain when aSman cries,
to the one next him, "Help me
lift the carriage cleaI!' In the
fash OF an eye it is done and the
peril averted. Leadership lies in
thought; cultivate it, you who can.
