The Governments Balance Sheet.
The keeping Of the receipts and
expenditures Of the Government of
the United States does not, of
course, differ in any essential prin-
ciple from keeping the receipts and
expenditures of any private BUSH
ness. Yet the method of govern
ment bookkse ping and the forms of
the financial reports of the Govern
ment are such that perhaps only
one man in a hundred thousand
really has a clear idea from what
sources the Government gets its
money and for what purposes it is
spent. Mr.. Edward Atkinson has
undertaken in the space that would
not fill more than two pages Of
q pocket memorandum book, to
show in the September number of
Inc foFUW precisely whence tine
Government gets its money, and
precisely how it spends it. LIS ef-
forts is to make the national book.
keeping so plain that any grocer's
clerk eau understand it. One inter-
esting fact shown by this simple
statement is that the money raised
by the taxes on tobacco aud liquors
is enough to pay all the normal ex-
pepses OF the Government, includ-
ing the Army and the Navy. 1t is
believed that this complicated SUBJ
ject has never before been present
cd in way so simple aud SO easily
comprehended.

other products.

could find gold, silver. sappllires. onyx

these articles were not produced in
quantities l;irge enough to pay to mar

The anecdotes told at the expense of
amateur players are innumerable and
of course of varying degrees both of
trnt!ifulness and Of droliery. Not long
since another was added to the list by
some Harvard students, who ambi-
tiously undertook to play "Hamlct,' for
the benefit of charity.
The man who was to act the part of
Horatio was extremely tiniid, and when
the night of the performance came he
was so overcome by stage fright that he
could hardly remember the LINES he had
so carefully studied. In the first act he
ran upon n snag. which raised a laugh,
and for the rest of the piece he was ut
tcrly hopeless, and had simply TO be
pushed through the part
1t was in the scene where Horatio
and Marccllus tell Hamlet of the ap-
pearance of the spirit of his father, and
tie prince asks, '.Staid it longg"
while ono with moderate haste
might tell hundred" Horat;o man
aged to stumble out. but so confusedly
that Marcellus forgot his cue, and in
stead of rejoining Longer, longer, ;"
stood staring at uoratio.
The prompter, with view to help
ing out Marcellus, began to whisper
from the wings. Longer, longer" IN
fortunately Horatio, having lost all con-
troll of himself, was inspired with the
idea that the iuan playing Marcellus
was looking at him because he had
made an error, and that the words
from the wing wero addressed to him.
With a great effort he Strengthened
himself up, cleared his burning throat
and said loudly, while one with mod
crate haste might tell two hundred,
then. "-Yoath's Companion.

A little a1ixcd.

At a certain seminary for young Ia
dies in the east the students of German
are. not allowed to speak in any other
language at the table, but one young
lady, moro daring than the others,
broke the rule and announced in En-
giish to her companions that she was
mashed" on n certain young man.
''hlashcdf" said the young frauIein
who presided over the students and
who is but iinpcrfectly acquainted
with English; ''masI, what does that
meanr'
oh" spoke up one of the young
ladies, wishing to save her blushing
and confused companion, when n per
son is very much in love with anybody
she says she is mashed on him.
The girls thought that ended the
matter, but what was their surprise
when the next night in prayer meeting
the teacher rose with bcaIning face
and declared, II wish to testify, young
ladies, that 1 am mashed on the Lord. "

The teacher looked daggers at the

trembled with humiliation as she took
the money. Admirers Nos. 8, and s
each presented themselves at intervals
with similar discoveries. The little
cashier began to cry, the teacher had
dreadful forebodings of being hopelessly
left behind by the other stalls, and
MaInie's doom was sealed. She was

coNsPlRAToRs AT A FAM.

Mischief Prevailing Over Innocence and
the Cost Went for Charity.
Every girl in the junior class had
made up her mind to preside" at the
candy stall in the fair that the school
was to give for their charity fund. But
Mamie Jones mother had subscribed
most literally to the stock of candies
on the tables, and Mamie was the best
behaved girl in the class anyway, and
the teachers favorite, so she secured
the coveted place, and she rubbed it
into" the rest of the girls in score of
little ways that pricked like pin points.
The girls pretended not to notice her
election or envy her good fortune, but
they thought a-good deal and held
secret ''confabs." Their teacher was
fired with n jealous ambition to excel
all the other stalls in the amount of
money she would take in for her sales.
and as Manic said she was quick at
figures, to her was committed the cash
box and the duty of making change
This was the girls opportunity, and they
We're not slow to seize upon it.
Five of them. binding themselves to
deadly secrecy, each swore an admirer
into the conspiracy. Then pooling as
much of their spending money as thew
made up their minds to lose in the
cause, they were ready for business
when the fair opened. The admirer
conspirsltor of No. sauntered up to
the candy stand in tow of the girl and
asked her which box of bonbons she
would choose. No. 1 was not long in
picking out a pretty box for which
S1-35 was paid by the admirer. This
won for the girl smile of approval
from the teacher. Conspirator No. 2
repeated this programme, taking box
at S1.49; No. SIS box cost 80 cents; No.
as, Sl.33, and No. took three little
ones at 40 cents each. The teacher
beamed, and the good little cashier had
busy time making change, for all of
the admirers presented s. bills and had
nothing smaller
This began carly in the evening, but
before it was finished the hall had filed
up well and purchasers began to buy
freely. Just then adnirer No. came
back alone and beckoned to the cashier.
Il think you made mistake in the
change, Miss Jones, he said politely.
think not, Mr.. R" replied the
cashier, with some asperity. 'I am gem
orally correct in my calculations, and
you should have counted your change
before you left the table. 1 cannot
make up deficiencies that are not men
toned at once"
MIR i" will not insist on Il. I
! am sure" said the teacher.

"society" pisanneor,,.

In this democratic Nineteenth cent
ury society" in the old and aristo-
cratic sense of the term, is disappear
ing. People of certain class and
certain means do certain things ut GER
tain times because other people of the
same class and the same means do like
wise. There is n universal tendency
toward the equalization of luxury and
OF the exterior manifestations of re-
finement. Social habits are formed on
the models established by two or three
great centers of civilization, and all the
life that you find elsewhere is a moro
or less pale reflection of the real ar
ticle. With the increase of facilities of
communication originality of all kinds
decreases, and the search for local color
becomes more and more hopeless.
