The Young Lobster.

From the eggs of the lobster are Matched
creatures not in the least resembling their
parents-little fellows that swim with
featherlike locomotive organs near the
surface of the water. At the end of
six weeks they develop legs, unless, as is
highly probable, they have previously
been devoured by fishes or other enemies,
becoming thereupon small Holsters of ia
miliar shape. Having reached this stage
of growth the young Holsters become
walking animals, and, sinking to the bot
tom, Immediately seek hiding places to
protect them from their foeS.-Interview

How Birds Act in a Fog,

Rocks and cartridges do not seem to al
ter their habits in the fog so much as other
birds that seek their living in the open
country. Partridges are, if anything, wild
er than ever; and if the rocks keep nearer
home than usual they by no means refuse
to fly; their wings make good deal of
noise in the silence of the fog, and often
the first notice of their presence is the flap
ping of the damp wings as they make off
suddenly from the unwelcome presence of
man. But all other wild birds keep still
and moping till the darkness goes.-Spec-
tatOr.

Accomplishments That Cat Found Use
full After Two Years of Absence.

ful After Two Years of Absence.
Fritz Heath is the noble son of a worthy
mother. Fritz is a large gray and white
tiger cat. Fritz and his mother, Gyp, are
the prOteges of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Heath. Both are cats of unusual size and
beauty, that of Fritz being only married by
a jagged rent in his right ear, incurred in
some slight youthful disagreement. Fritz
is an amateur acrobat of considerable
ability, and will roll over, jump through a
hoop and turn somersau It's at word of COM
mand. He also has the trick of jumping
to catch the edge of the table top with his
paws and swinging suspended while he
surveys the prospect of good dinner for
Fritz.
Two years ago there was mourning in
the house of Heath. Fritz had suddenly
disappeared. At night Gyp came into the
house, shifted at the basket she and Fritz
had occupied together since the latter's
kittenhOod, and walked disconsolately
away. The Heaths thought perhaps their
pet had been carried across the canal and
could not get back, SO they wandered in
Finegan avenue and the purlieus of the
the Fourth ward and searched diligently,
but he could not be found. Time heals

of the household. She could not be in

jumped into the basket for the first time

afterward Mr.. Heath and his wife returned
from an evening call. A cat, which they
in the darkness supposed to be Gyp, was
crying on the doorstep, and as they Opened
the door it ran into the hallway and out
again as quickly. Later in the evening
Mrs. Heath heard the crying at the door,
and, being possessed of tender heart
toward suffering animals, proposed going
down to bring in the poor thing, which had
proved not to be Ggp, and give it some
thing to eat. AS she opened the door the
cat darted into the hallway and up the
stairs to the Heath apartments. When it
came into the lighted sitting room Mrs.
Heath exclaimed, "Why, Tom, it's Fritzl''

Tariff Platforms.

We have, says the Pittsburg Post,
an inquiry as to what the Democrat
ic national platforms have declared
on the tariff since the election of
Mr.. Buchanan before the civil war.
The national platform of 1856, on
which he was nominated, set forth
"that the time has come for the peo-
pie of the United States to declare
themselves in favor OF free trade
throughout the world"
This was probably the most adj
vanced position the party has ever
taken on the subject. 1t was follow
ed by the passage of the tariff act of
1857, the lowest tariff since the early
days Of the republic, and averaging
only about Is per cent. customs tax
on the foreign importations. 1t is
well to remember that this law was
passed by a Republican House, of
which General Banks, of Massachu-
sets, was Speaker, aud by Demo
cratic Senate.
The tariff resolution in the plat
form of 1860 reaffirmed the resolution
adopted i'll 1856, above quoted.
In 1864 the platform was silent
upon the tariff question The war
was on, and the government required
all the revenue it could gather
In 1868 the platform declared for
a tariff for revenue upon foreign i'm
ports and such equal taxation uuder
the internal revenue laws as will af
ford incidental protection to Ameri-
can manufacturers.
IL 1872 the Democrats accepted
the platform of the Liberal Republi-
cans, which relegated the question to
the congressional district. This was
TO meet the candidacy of Mr.. Gree.
ley.
In 1876 the Democratic platform
denounced the protective tariff as "a
masterpiece of injustice, inequality
and false pretense, aud demanded
that call custom house taxation shall
be only for revenue.
Tie platform Of 1880 declared for
a tariff revenue only.
The platform Of 1884 demanded
that federal taxation shall be exclu-
sively for public purposes.
The Democratic platform OF 1888
reaIllrmed the tariff plank Of 1884,
and indorsed Mr.. Cleveland's Great
message as the correct Interpretation
thereof.

E. Fl. Nebecker, the treasurer of
the United States in his annual re-
port to Secretary Foster, shows how
it happens that there is no money in
the United States treasury to pay
current demands upon it. He re-
ports that the net ordinary revenues
Of the government for the fiscal year
were $392,6l2,447, or $10,5 3, 535 less
than those Of the preceding year.
The net ordinary expenditures, ex-
elusive OF the amounts paid in pre-.
miums on bonds purchased, we're
$355,372 ,684, an increase OF $67, 636,
1913. The surplus revenues were
thus cut down in one year from
$l05,344,496 to $37, 239, 1872, the lat
Ter sum being applied to the reduc-
ton of the public debt The sum
of $S9,751,731 was also taken from
the reserve in the treasury to reduce
the principal bonded debt Many Of
the appropriations made by the last
Congress remain unpaid, simply for
the reason that there is not sufficient
funds in the treasury to meet them.
BY an ingenious manipulation Of
figures Secretary Foster has made
an effort to cover up the fact that
deficit in the treasury exists. But
the fact of the deficit remains, never
theless.

As the New Year approaches and
the annual introspection again calls
for an application of the sound old
maxim, "know thyself" consideration
of the causes leading to life's success
or its failure are in order. The chief
aim Of the American people is to make
money, to grow suddenly and fabu-
lousy rich. In order to do this there
is constantly before their eyes the
victory of the Astors, Vanderbilts,
Rockefellers, Goulds, etc: To the
other side of the question they turn
a blind eye and deaf ear In this a
fatal mistake is made.
While endeavoring to ascertain
the best way of making money, if we
would look down little more FIRE
quently and inquire into the failures,
instead Of looking upward toward
the comparatively few successes, we
would be much more likely to reach
something like correct conclusion
as to the course we should pursue in
our struggles for wealth.
ave are so much disposed to take
as our patterns men who have been
eminently prosperous that. we are
apt to overlook the great masses who
struggle on, some securing compe-
tency in the course Of q long life, but
the great majority barely succeed in
making what is termed living; men
who labor hard all their lives and
who die without having been able
with all their efforts to more than
manage to have provided the ordina-
lry comforts of life for themselves and
family.
Such has been the worlds history
always and such it will always be.
But the fact should not discourage.
This is q great country, and there is
room for all, as well as chance for
all to make a comfortable livelihood.
We cannot all get rich, but where
economy and industry are mans
leading characteristics it will be ex-
ceptional if he fails to earn enough
whatever his vocation, to live com
foitably. He may not be able to
command what are known as luxur-
les, but they are not, by any means,
the absolute essentials to happiness.
1t is not question, but well es-
tablished fact-a fact that cannot be
overturned by any logic with which
we are acquainted, that the million
aires not by any means the happiest
of men, as he is certainly not the
most contented. The great point to
be secured is being able to lay away
something for a rainy day. Nothing
SO stimulates mans earnings as
the consciousness of having bal
ance, small though it may be, in the
bank or the saving fund.
Having accomplished that much
his best energies will in all probable
ity be put forward to make that bal
ance larger, and inspired by such a
motive there can hardly be such a
thing as failure. 1t is the haste TO
get rich that ruins the thousands.
The men who have won completeness
as general thing have been the men
who have toiled along patiently aud
perseveringly, who have always lived
within their incomes, and who have
never permitted themselves to be in
weighed into schemes that promise
immense profits, but which rarely
make the promise good.-Cumber-
land Times.
