Unused Common Sense.

Don't let circumstances get the better of yeur spirits till the pantry Is empty and the last dollar gone. So long as your family has an in- come of any sort that holds want at distance keep heart and thank God take good care of what you have and never taste bitters till YOU have to. There is certain gay defiance of ill fortune that is good if you can join to 1t that matching of yourself against small resources, which finds real triumph in extract ing the best from them. If you have only $10 or $15 week income and can live on $8 you are in luck. That IS more than half the families Of Massachusetts have to live on, more than most clerks and book keepers, teachers and country min isters and farmers have, to say nothing of widows and lone women s households.
 Find every way to make much of little, make the half answer for our usual wasteful way of managing the whole. The common way an Amer ican family saves" is by going without everything it wants for the sake of necessaries. I have known people go without meat three days in 6 week who always paid seventeen cents a pound for mutton to the butcher cart at the door, when they could buy as good for six cents at the market in town, and their boys went to town every day. That ism t my notion of economy. The same people will keep fire in one room only to "save the fuel'' and burn more coal there than would heat the hous if used in furnace.-Balti- more Sunday News.

Sea1skin seems to be in greater favor
than ever, and it apparently becomes
more and more beautiful as the time
goes on, probably because the manipu-
lation of the skins INCREASINGLY grows
toward perfection. It is not news to
state that all that can be done in ordi-
nary material in the way of fit, style
and shape is equally well done in seal
skin. Sealskin garments are lined
either with plain brown satin or with
rich brocades- The old regime un-

expected to last lifetime has
passed away, and with it the quilted
satin lining which made svlphs look

lined coats are increasing in favor be-

But in place of these eliminated items will
come appropriations Of . like character. be-
Gauss the So called extraordinary expenditures
are in reality ordinary and expected. although
not provided for directly by law Hence tho
elimination OF this ssflO0) from the appropria-
tion list OF next year is merely pleasant bit of
fiction by which, on paper, the receipts can DO
made to equal the expenditures. The truth IL
than when all the items of customary expense
are taken into consideration there will be \
larg, deficiency in tho revenue unless steps Ore
taken by the general assembly to increase the
income. or else to reduce tho expenditures.
The present estimate Of DEFICIENCIES in appro-
priations amounts to very little. The state
criminal cases will be short about $4,000. It
is usually short . larger sum. Tho general
contingent fund will lack 81 GOO Of being equal
to the emergency.
The state auditor estimates that there win
be an increase OF tax ON the increased assess.
ment of property amounting to $l00. 900. which
together with the extraordinary appropriations
of tho past two years that may not he repeat
ed, may save the treasury from . deficiency. Il
no extraordinary appropriations are made by
the forthcoming general assembly.
In the very nature OF things, however, the
next general assembly will end it necessary to
spend goodly sum OF money in the direction
"extraordnary." The state university must be
rebuilt, and there are always more or less de-
mands upon the treasury which can not he an
TO power over legislation and can only report
to that body in the way Of an accounting to-
gether with such recommendations IS may be
in the nature of estimates.
At the same time the state officers have had
under consideration the financial condition Of
of the state and they will be prepared to sug-
gest . way out Of the present difficulty. Ono
of the ideas entertained at jefferson City il
that q law should bs enacted increasing the
dramshop license for state purposes from SIS to
$50. During the year 1889 there were 47O0
dramshops licensed in this state. This number
decreased in 1890 to 42L But even at the lat
ter figure the income to the state. at $50, would
be over 500 coo a year. Another proposition 10
to reduce the school fund, mention Of which
has already been made.
Ths increase Of the dramsho2 license is. per-
haps, the chief Recommendation that will be
made for the relief of the treasury, and it will
be seen that, whereas, the present income from
that source for state purposes is about $1,000
q year, the doubling Of the license will give an
added revenue of 500 900 year, which WILL in
a measure. help to make up the loss OF three.
quarters OF a million incurred by reason Of the
reduction in taxation.
In fact, it is estimated that . few laws may
be enacted that will make M the expected
deficiency in receipts But the point is that
such enactments s.em to bs necessary and the
general assembly ought to understand the
situation. to the end that it may mako pro-
vision for proper increase in the revenue to
