So. .IgE t.El.- ..E - t'-.lllLhi -.- .A.tf. o.
SAYS the fItLsourg t'oSt, he gives the
needful details. is that there will be de-
ficiency in the treasury at the close OF
this fiscal year of $l4 ,OO0,OO and on
the LIST of July, 1892, Of some $sO, ,Ooo,-
600. When President Cleveland gave
wav 10 Harrison, March 1, 1889, there
was a balance in the Treasury to the
credit Of Uncle Sam Of s15O, 100000.
The February statement of the public
debt shows that this surplus has disap-
peared, and that the Administration Is
raking the bottom of the treasury vaults
for subsidiary silver coinage. Accord
ing 10 this statement 1.-THE net cash bal
ance" in the treasury on the first IN
slant was $50, $50, 7O7 Included in the
surplus are the funds deposited by
the national banks to redeem their
notes, amounting to S54, ,2OI $40, and
the fractional silver currency, amount
ing to $50, 249, $50, making total OF
1854. But the $54, 900, 900 of
national bank funds does not belong to
the Government, but to the note holders,
and the $50, ,OO0, 900 of subsidiary silver
| coinage is not available for payments 5.
| 1t follows that instead of there being a
net cash surplus of sol, 100000 there Is
an actual deficit. The only thing thai
prevents financial embarrassment Is the
fact that the holders of the natlona
bank notes do not present them for re
demption. These figures abundantiy
bear out Senator Carlisle's estimate OF
the condition of the treasury at the Close
of the fiscal year. That's, there will b'
a deficit of nearly $15, 900, 900, increased
To $50, 900, 600 at the close of the mex
fiscal year in 1892.
That will he splendid showing t.
go to the people at the presidential
election of 1892, especially if Harrison
and Cleveland, as the representatives O
the two policies, one illustrated by bi
surplus and the other by big defici
with increased taxes, should be oppoS
ing candidates.

Its quietus in an official denial The

There is probably no business house in

we are about to- speak of. Well known for
square and honest dealing, well known for

His arrangements with the different
Mountain Distillcrs OF Penn'a for their en-

A MEASURE has been presented in the
Ohio State Senate to abolish the Canal
Commission and create board of four to
sell the public works of the State
Three years time is given in which to
accomplish the work. The reasons for
getting rid of the canals are they have cost
10000 600 to date; require an appro-
priation of 800, 900 year without any
return, and $1,000, 900 can be realized
by the sale or % year lease of the pro
perty.

THE Democratic majority in the Ohio
Senate, which had been dissipated By
the death of two Senators, has been re-
stored, the special elections having re-
suited in the election of Democratic Sen
ators in both Senatorial districts by
largely increased majorities. The Nc
Kinley law and the Force bill seem to
act as incentives to work on the Ohio
Democrats.

studvinr The Currents of the Ocean.


Prince Albert of Monaco has recently
renorted the results of his experiments
to ascertain the ocean circulation III the
North Atlantic -Four years ago he
set adrift several hundred floats, many
of which have been picked up. Some
of these were hollow copper balls,
some oak barrels and some ordinary
bottles.
In 1885 he cast overheard on the
seas northwest of the Azores log floats.
Fourteen of this number have been re-
covered, giving clear indications OF
southeasterly current curving around
the Western Islands at daily mean
rate of 8. .sS miles. OF $40 floats which
the prince launched in 1885 nearer the
French coast nine have been picked
up, showing the movement of q cur
rent in a similar direction with a mean
velocity OF about six miles day.
The United States Coast Survey Is
now conducting similar experiments
on the Atlantic currents with improved
floats, each marked by a white painted
pine staff. 1t is to be hoped in the In
terests of navigation that all who nnd
them will comply with the printed In
structions which each float carries

T.rrowEKs OF SILENCE
A Visit to the Burial Places or the
Parsees--The Vultures-

4 hundred yards distant through the
trees intervening is one of the gloomy
Towers of Silence, fully inkeeplng with
its gloomy name. As visitors are not
permitted to approach nearer than 1Oo
feet. we are directed to small working
model under lilac just off the garden.
Here, with the aid of reference card,
we examine the eternal arrangements OF
the tower.
1t is roofless, circular building OF
stone and painted white, 300 feet in cir
cumference and about sixty in height;
thirty feet from the base on the side
facing the garden is small entrance.
Just large enough to admit the bearers
and body, closed by double iron doors.
These doors open on the main platform,
which is paved with large slabs Of stone
and divided into three rows Of shallow
open rceptacles, into which are placed
the naked corpses to await the coming
of the vultures. The first, or outer row,
is for males tadult), the second for fe-
males and the third, or inner row for
children. These three rows correspond
with three moral precepts of the Zorro
astrian religion-good deeds, good
words, good thoughts. Between the
rows are foot paths for the bearers to
move about. In the center of the tower
is a great well $50 feet in circumference
and forty to fifty feet in depth, into
which the dry bones are thrown after
being denuded Of flesh. From this
great well toward the cardinal points Of
the compass divergs four underground
drains each of which has its terminus,
about thirty feet away, small well.
The bottom of each Of these small wells
is covered with thick layer Of sand.
Pieces Of charcoal and sandstone are
also placed at the end of each drain.
Thus the rain water coming from the
great well and bringing with it the de-
composed osseous matter passes through
two sets of filters for publication before
entering the ground, thereby observing
q tenet OF the Equestrian rellgion-thsf
smother earth slia IL not be defled."
A corpse is Carried into the tower by
two bearer, called Nassaslars, who
alone are privileged to enter; the clothes
are then removed, the body placed in
one Of the receptacles and the bea rer
withdraw. Now is the opportunity for
the vultures to fulfill the duties Of their
office. Upon the approach OF the pro-
cession hundreds of them arise from the
tops of the palms, which have become
withered and dead from contact with the
carniverous bodies, and hover in circle
above until the bearers have gone.
Then like darts they descend-a boiling
seething mass of carrion, each particle
of which, intent only upon precedence,
is quarre1ing and fighting with the other
In its horrible work. In an hour or two
the corpse is entirely stripped of its
flesh; the bones are then left until per-
fectly dried by the heat of the tropical
sun, then thrown into the well, where,
in course of ne, they crumble to dust.
According to the teachings of Zoroaster,
earth, fire and water are sacred, and in
order to avoid their pollution 1t is
strictly enjoined that the dead bodies
shall not be buried in the ground or
thrown into the sea.

Forgot the Snake In Her Pocket,

One of Portland's bright young
iadies has decided taste for studies in
natural history. One day last week she
was at Peaks Island with friends, and
IL their rambles about the fields and
swamp. she bagged number of speci-
mems. Among them was green snake
about two feet long, and after a while
she slipped the snake into her pocket
Tor want Of better accommodations.
Presently the snake was forgotten.
The party boarded one of the Casco
Bay Company's boats, and when about
half way to the city great commotion
was suddenly caused among the pas
sengers by the appearance Of green
snake crawling upon the deck. Ladies
screamed and jumped upon the seats OF
fed incontinently, and some Of the
sterner sex were somewhat taken by
surprise at the sight Of a serpent IN
that unexpected place. The young
woman, as soon as she realized the sit
uation, sprang to recover her property.
but too late. A boat hand pitched the
reptile overheard and science had me
with another loss.

NO one doubts that DR.

NO one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk Of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better
