Indians at tho Worlds Fair.

Prof. Putnam has added to his In.
dian exhibit on the lawn between the
leather exhibit and the south pond a
small band of Navahoe Indians, con!
sisting of man and two women be-
longing to one family and a boy and a
girl belonging to another family. They
came from Fort Defiance. A. T., and
are living in small conical tent made
of painted skins close to the intramural
railroad. AS they do not speak Eng
lish they have nothing to say. Other
members of the tribe may arrive in a
few days. The Iroquois from New
York, about twenty-five in number,
have arrived also.

Oddities Of tho cowbird.

The cowbird, like the European
cuckoo, never pairs, builds nest or
matches its own young. The focks
that frequent COW pastures are COM
posed of males and females that con-
sort promiscuously, and the female.
when the time comes, leaves her COM
panions and sets out alone to find tho
nest of some small bird, in which she
lays the egg and then leaves it entirely
to the care of the unwilling, and often
unwitting, foster parents. As rule
this means the destruction of the bird's
own brood, for the young cowbird, be-
ing Matched sooner than the true off,
spring, monopolizes all attentions, and
the other young, if hatched at all, die
of unavoidable neglect-Scribner.

INCOME AND LUXURY TAKES.

The Two From which tAs BsisasA 0svsrne
mont Gets Most Of Its Rsvsnue.
To Americans an interesting feature
of British budget statements Il the
large proportion which the income tax
bears to the aggregate revenues Of the
government. Sir William Vernon Har-
court, chancellor of the exchequer, in
introducing the budget recently, esti-
mated that the total revenue for the
fiscal year 1884, would be about o455,-
100000, and tax ON incomes would pro-
vide 81, 100000 of this sum, or nearly
one-sixth of it. This estimate may
reasonably be expected to come toler-
ably close to the actual figures as they
will be revealed twelve months hence
in the returns. Our own revenue in
the fiscal year 1892 was about
sS55, ,0o0. 900. OF this scale of receipts
the British income tax would have
yielded about s59, 600. 900. Under the
conditions prevailing in Great Britain
this tax can be collected readily and
honestly, and it is decidedly popular
impost among the masses of the peo-
pie, who, of course, do not have to
pay it.
Governmental revenue receipts arc
subject to much smaller changes in
Great Britain than in the United States.
The average annual income of the gov.
ernment in the former country in the
past few years has not varied greatly
from SOC, ,000, 900, or s45O, ,OOO, 900. About
10000, 900 of this has been provided by
a tax on incomes. SOS, 900, 900 came from
customs, which are levied on tobacco,
tea, coffee, rum, brandy and other
spirits and few other articles, $685.
O00,0 900 from internal taxes on spirits,
beer and other things, and $65, ,O0O, 900 on
stamp taxes of different sorts. The re-
naming 500, 100000 or thereabouts of
revenue has come from the post
offices, the telegraphic service, land
taxes, house duties and various other
sources. The customs duties of the
United States government in 1899 were
s177, 100000, or considerably less than
double the recent British average, while
our internal taxes for the same wear
were sl54, 200, or only 1900, 900
greater than the British receipts from
the same general source.
In the British system of revenue rails
ing the income tax is often relied on to
make up deficits. Serious deficits sell
dom occur. Expenditures, after the
regular payments on the public debt,
are kept pretty close to the revenues,
and when the revenues fall little short
the tax on incomes is found convenient
to cover up this gap. This tax is in
creased slightly for the current year.
The whole British scheme of revenue
raising is admira bly, calculated to con-
form with the conditions which pre-
vail in the kingdom and to meet emer-
gencies as they present themselves.
The adjustment of outgo to income,
and vice versa, by the head of the fnan-
cial arm of the government is done
with an ease and a precision in Great
Britain which are altogether unknown
and impossible here. Aside from the
customhouse, the sources of revenue in
England are more numerous than they
are in this country, and the amount
which each will yield is, owing to the
difference in conditions, better known
there than it is here, and can, there
fore, be mere accurately estimated in
advance.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

up the grand staircase is Venetian
stained-glass window representing Su-

second floor has three large rooms on
the front, one occupied by On art ex-

society. The fresco of the second
story is badger design symbolical of
the state.
The ladies' drawing-room has hard
wood ceiling and floor. A large center

design covers the floor. The walls are
frescoed in rose pink shading into

the exterior is light gray.
The building is intended for a conven-
lent and comfortable home for Michi-
gan visitors, and not as an exhibit hall,
although a few unclassified general
exhibits have been admitted. Each
county has contributed views of nat
ural scenery and portraits of prominent
citizens. which adorn the walls.
n ssing from a view of the exterior
of the building into the vestibule, the
guest soon stands in the center of a
tiled reception hall, 60 feet wide and
extending the entire depth of the
building. Near the front, opening out
of this hall, are the secretary's Office,
post Office, check rooms and informa-
tion room, all arranged and fitted for
the purposes for which they were de-
signed.
On the right of the reception hall is
a large ladies' parlor, furnished and
decorated by the women of Grand
Rapids. The decoration has been
superintended by Mrs. NJ. J. Smiley,
and the room is a beautiful work of
art. 1t has an inlaid floor of hard
wood, the center covered with Wilton
velvet carpet blending in tone with
the delicate colorings of the wall.
The ivory white woodwork is orna-
mentcd with gold leaf, and the walls
frescoed in delicate tint of old pink.
The draperies and curtains are of pink
and dull sage green. On the west side
of the room is rich mantel of white
and gold over crate inlaid with pink
tiles. A concert grand piano finished
in white mahogany stands opened in
one corner. A smaller room used as
a reading room opens from the parlor,
and beyond is ladies' retiring room.
The library is furnished with ma
hogany writing desks and cabinets
containing several interesting vol

private parlor is a cool bower fur

about the rooms are exquisitely dec

artists and paintings on the walls.
Two floral pieces in gold frames
were painted by Mrs. n. E. Maxson, of
Grand Rapids. Two paintings, one
called the Girl for Me- and the other
"Happy Thoughts" were executed by
Miss Kate Torrey.
Passing to the opposite side of the
hall are the gentlemen's reception and

the guest will find an assembly hall,
32x6O feet. In the front of the hall is

The Double-skirted Dress.

Double-skirted dresses of silk grena-
dine, silk yelling or etamine are bor-
dered with rows Of ribbon, jet gimp or
white or ecru guipure, laid on nat.
The round waists have faring bretelles
similarly finished. The close coat
sleeve is finished with rows of the
trimming to the elbow, where it is met
by a full balloon puff of the dress fab
ric. Many of the beautiful Marie An
toinette transparents in black, figured
with small but brilliant flowers, are
made up over changeable tafeta silk
and trimmed with shirred or plated
ruches in silks that repeat the colors
of the blossoms and leaves.-N. Y. Post.

The decision of the French military

For Slender Figures.

Another fancy that is becoming to
very slight figures is that of making a
slashed waist of serge showing an un-
der waist of white or light China silk
through the slashes. This is the So
called French waist, gathered to belt
and without lining. The front is slit
open eight or ten times from the belt
up above the bust, and the openings are
neatly bound. The top is turned back
in small revers collar, and the sleeves
are gigots. A narrow belt of black
satin is knotted in front. Under this
is worn a sleeveless blouse of white
silk laid in fine knife plaits that show
very full between the slashes. Around
the neck is a collar band of silk folds,
with a knife-plaited frill at the top that
flares high about the throat in most ef-
fective fashion. This is we'll carried
out in blue serge, with black binding
on the slashes, black satin belt, and a
plain gored skirt of serge. Cream
white, pale blue, pink or yellow silk
blouses may be worn beneath the waist.

INSERTIONS AND LACE,
Stylish Trimmings for Summer Gowns al

Stylish Trimmings for Summer Gowns and
Hats.
One of the fancies of the moment is
the use Of insertion in preference to
lace with scalloped edge as trimming
for gowns of crepon or silk, as well as
those of thin batiste or lawn. Guipure
insertion is most used in white or cream
tints for trimming dark blue or mauve
crepons, and also black silks, satins
and grenadines. The two-inch wide
width is employed and should be really
inserted, but as this requires great
deal of sewing, a very good effect is
obtained by simply applying the open
straight-edged guipure on the waist or
skirt row after row. In dress waists it
crosses from armhole to armhole in two
or three straight bands suggesting a
yoke. Full gathered vests are similarly
trimmed. Puffs at the top of sleeves
have either lengthwise or cross rows,
while close lower sleeves are often
trimmed with diagonal insertions.
Very narrow guipure, from half an
inch wide, is placed at the head of
folds or ribbons of satin when trim.
ming ruffles, revers, or skirts. Vfhe-
patterned guipure and embroidery is
used like passementerie in row
through the middle of bias band or
ribbon. Lighter insertions of Mechlin
and Limerick daces trim thin mousse
line de sole and gauze dresses.
A sumnlery trimming for black
round hats is very large wired bow
made of wide white applique lace, or of
a veil of thin lace fashioned into a bow.
Long slender jet ornaments in horn
shape, or pins with pear-shaped heads
of jet, are crossed high amid the lace
loops.-Harper' Bazar.
