Unnecessary Friction.

Not long since, in newspaper para
graph devoted to the Chronic Grum-
bier" he was quoted as asking such
questions as this: ''Why does the man
who wants to go TO the top floor of a
building persist in standing in the
door of the elevator?'' That question
is continually arising in various forms
in the mind of any person who travels
democratically, shoulder to shoulder
with the crowd. The back platforms
and doorways of cars are filed with
people, compelling one to crowd and
push to enter the car. People stand on
the street corners and compel those who
wish to use the cross-walk to step into
the street, irrespective of the condition
of the gutter. At concert, in assem-
blies where the audience chooses its
own seats, each newcomer seats him
self as near the aisle as possible, and
then compels the later arrivals to
crowd past him, or else he steps into
the aisle, quadrupling the confusion
by this act. Holders of the middle
seats between two aisles in
theater will come in after the rise
Of the curtain, apparently without
scruple. And nothing is more COM
mon at that center of confusion and
discomfort - the Brooklyn bridge -
than to have men push and elbow their
way through the crowd to get seats,
and when the car passes the Brooklyn
tower these same protectors of indi-
vfdual rights push and elbow their way
through towards the doors, getting
ready to leave as soon as the car stops.
Nothing is gained, not even time, for
frequently the blocking of a passage
way detains those who crowd as well
as those who are crowded. What can
be gained by losing part of pro-
gramme through a discourteous en-
trance which compels others to also
lose part of their enjoyment is beyond
ordinary minds to discover. It is the
constant self-assertion and disregard
of others that increases the friction
and causes such a tremendous wear
and tear of the vital forces. Certainly
this is true, that life is a much more
desirable privilege where there is the
exercise of mutual consideration.
Knowing this, why do we SO constant
1y fail to exercise it?

TEE weather waste of soft coal being
a settled fact, an allowance for It's loss
is to be taken into account by all large
consumers. The loss, as scientifically
stated, is due to the oxidation taking
place during the exposure of the coal,
the result being a lessened heating
capacity. From a careful and con-
tinued series Of experiments, made in
Europe, it has been found that, as re-
suit Of exposure to the weather, though
anthracite and camel coal suffer but
little, the ordinary bituminous coal
depreciates nearly one-third in weight
and nearly one-half in gas-making
properties after long exposure.

A DisgracefuI System.
since.

It is said that certain enterprising
persons here, as we'll as in London and
Paris, have organized firms for leasing
out wedding dresses. The latter can now
be hired, and for comparatively small
sum bride may be provided with a
splendid costume without the neces-
sity of retaining it for the remainder
of her days. There is no reason, how
ever, tartly but justly suggests the
New York Tribune, why this scheme
should stop at wedding dresses. The
system might be extended to the we'd
ding presents. The requisite number
of bracelets, rings, fsh-knives and tea
services could be hired, and after serv-
ing their time in the display on the
wedding day, be returned. The real
presents could then take the infinitely
more convenient and useful forms of
checks, and married couples would not
then be compelled, as they often are
now, to take house for the mere pur-
pose of storing away their useless be-
lOngingS.

Poojah Stone in the Black Pagoda.

What threatened to be q serious question between the people of Orissa and the Indian government has been settled by the restoration of the "Poo- iah stone" to the famous "Black Pago- da' in that province, better known as the Temple of the Sun" For ages over the main entrance of the temple there reposed large stone slab on which were carved symbols ef the sun, the moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupi- ter and Mercury and the nodes of the moon. Thirty years ago this planet stone" as it has been called, fell from the architrave of the temple, and, though unnoticed before, it appears to have at once become an object of wor- ship. Recently the stone came under the observation of the lieutenant-gov- ernor of Bengal, who, recognizing its artistic value and observing that it was lying apparently unregarded just where it fell, ordered its removal to the India museum Hereupon, how ever, ensued great excitement among the community, which, as it subse- quently appeared, had been in the habit for years past of making offerings to the stone and to the priest Daily News

REVENUE AND EXPENSE.
A Statement Showing the Estimates of the
 Treasury Department Submitted.


 WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-Senator Me Emerson, for the senate committee on coinage, has presented statement from the secretary of the treasury showing that the estimated receipts of the public revenues as submitted to the last congress for the present fiscal year was S405, OO0 GOO, not including the postal service, and estimated expendit- lures, also excluding the postal serv- ice, to be $307, GOO, ,000, showing an estimated excess of receipts of s32, OOO, ,OOO for the year. The esti- mate shows average monthly receipts of S33, 750, 900 and average expenditures of $3l, ,00O,00O. The actual receipts so far during the year do not reach the estimate by over S7, 1000, 900 per month. This makes deficit for the first fiscal quarter of s21, ,2l1 ,O0O, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. Should the actual receipts continue for the year as for the first quarter, they would fall below the estimate to the amount of sS7, 4S2, 329.
 The actual expenditures for the first quarter have amounted to $32, ,S19, 709 per month, or S1, 736, 1875 in excess of the estimate, and would, supposing these receipts and expenditures continue as for the first months, show an excess of expenditures over actual receipts of S76, ,31S,S The receipts of the treas ury for the six months preceding the commencement of the present fiscal year were an average rate of S31, 479, = T2l, and if the conditions then existing had continued deficit would have been averted, or at most would have been very small, since the receipts would have been increased for the year by s60, 230,00 over the present indica- tions.
 He attributes the falling off to finan- cial disturbances He says 8 careful inspection of the figures will show the deficit is due to the falling off in the revenues. 'It is apparent" he said, "that should the present conditions continue for any considerable length of time, deficiencies are likely to occur which should either be averted or met by appropriate legislation. With the small working balance in the treasury, should there be no increase in receipts for the remainder of the year and no reduction of expenditures, there may be contemplated deficit at the end of the year of 10000, 900 in the revenues i or over $50, 900, 900 with reference to the estimates.

A Twenty-Pointer Deer.

Lord Burton's magnificent twenty pointer deer, killed recently in Glen. quoich forest, proves to have been an unusual one in several particulars. The stag, which is not at all remarkable for its size of body in proportion to its massive head, was shot through the back at distance of 300 yards, and it is said that this is the only known in- stance of twenty-pointer having ever been killed in Scotch forest. One eighteen-pointer killed in 1890 comes the nearest. Lord Burton's trophy has ten perfectly developed tines on each of its magnificent brow antlers and the top of each horn forms massive clus. ter of seven palmated tines, each point matching in every detail with the cor. responding one opposite. It is seldom that such magnificent antlers are found nowadays. London Telegraph.
