does not consist in the folding OF spacing Of n
note. but in the spirit in which it is written.
Take 3 set Of rules like these well-known
ones:
In notes place address and date at the end:
in letters at the beginning No great harm
will DO done in breaking that rule IL simply
means that it is more graceful to have the adj
dress aud date at the end and In notes there in
usually room, while in letters the end Is apt
to be crowded. so is is best TO make certain Of
the date and address By putting them at Tia
top.
Always have the date and address on all
letters and notes-an obvious courtesy to tha
recipient There are many little notes THAI
slip of without them; it is only general
rule.
Never abbrsviate. A rule seldom ad hered to.
but good ose. Sat. Eye." or Photo" or
" Respectfully" always smack of the common
place. 1t seems better not to write than to DO
so stingy with ones writing.
The proper beginning for notes has been
much discussed, but it is true that it is more
formal and elegant way to begin Ny dear
Miss Wayne" or MY dear Mr.. Towers"
than TO use the form Dear Miss Wayne" or
" Dear Mr. Towers" It is better for all gen
raj purposes. For dear friends any chosen
aGectionate greetings may be used
As to signing ones self: Respectfully"
should be used for all business letters and i'm
personal ones Of any kind. or sometimes when
a young person is writing to an older one.
Sincerely is good for ali ordinary purposes.
Sincerely your friend" always seems ride
ulous, as one could not possibly be an insincere
friend. Frieudliness involves sincerity as
surely as sunshine involves light. Yours
truly" never seems a pretty phrase from .
womsn's pen. though men frequently use it,
and it sounds jolly and hearty. Yours faith
fnlly, or earnestly" means something deeper
than a mere formal ex preston. and should only
be used truly. "TenderIy," lovingly" and so
on. terms for dear friends and sweethearts.
Yours cordially" has pleasant favor and
makes q note welcome when just that little,
touch OF warmth is needed. One should be
wary of either using it stingily or of making
il valusless by using it thou htlessly; indeed,
the secret of proper letter-WritiDg is not to do
any part thoaghtlessly.
Having the beginning and ending properly
settled, it is only left TO supply the subject
matter, and with kindliness and sincerity and
due thought not to be prOsy nor complicated,
the spistlss are likely to be successful.

INTERESTING FIGURES,

The Treasury deficit for the fiscal year just
closed was $40, 1926, 049.29. This, added to last
years deficit OF nearly SO 600 600 makes the
cess of expenditures over ceipts since June so,
1893, about s1I3, go. 900. The total receipts of
the Government this fiscal year. exclusive Of
postal revenues, amount TO nearly 1913. 000. 900.
and the expenditures $3.50 go. 900. of which
pensions took S141, ,623. Last year the ag-
gregate receipts. exclusive Of postal revenues,
were $291722, 0l9, and the expenditures 1857,
525.2 The receipts this year therefore, were
Sis, 27S,000 greater than last and the expendi-
lures about SI1 215. 900 less The postal. service
deficit is about S1l ,O00 600. which is consider
ably i'm excess of that Of any recent year.
The Internal Revenue Department of the
Government has contributed this year to the
receipts nearly SAB 000,0G0, against a little
more than Sl47, 900 900 last year. The customs
this year make better showing than last by
about $21, 100000 Last year the receipts from
this source amounted to nearly l32,000000,
aud this year they approximate Sl53, 100000.
The monthly statement of the public debt
shows the debt June 80, 1895. the end OF
the fiscal year. to have been 81 o96. 913, 100 ex

amount OF cash in the Treasury Nor does it

which have not yet been delivered to London
purchasers The corresponding debt on Juno

ARMY AND NAVY,

The President will soon have an opportunity
to appoint civilian ~ u desirable Army billet,
as Col Wm Winthrop will retire on Aug. 3,
leaving a vacancy in tho corps of the Judge

f. Barr. now on duty in the Department of the
East, will be promoted to be Colonel, and will
be assigned to succeed Col. Winthrop as Assist
ant observation-disclosures at Washington.
This in turn, would promote Mai. George b.
Davis who has been detailed to duty rs Profess
sor of Military Law at West Point. to be Lieu.
tenant Colonel, and there will remain vacancy
in the grade of Major.
Commodore Hichborn, Chief Naval Con-
structor. has submitted to Secretary Herbert a
set OF designs for the three new battleships
authorized by the last Congress- accom- panied
by "A most exhaustive analysis of the principal
features of the new ships. In several import.
ant respects the designs heretofore submitted
for these ships by the Board of Bureau Chiefs
differ radically from those upon which any ex-
listing battleships were built and, owing to
these novelties of construction. the plans have
aroused more active interest in the Naval
service than has been exhibited in many years
past. Commodore Hichborn reported upon
these designs and also submitted certain alter
native plans.
Secretary Herbert is preparing the advertise

by inc laSJ NAVAL appropriation Dill. 1here
will be two styles of boats, one being equipped
with one screw and tho other twin-screw
boats. Two of one kind and four OF the other
will be built. The pattern from which the
four will be constructed will not be decided
until the bids in aud it is found which are
cheapest. 1t is more than probable that the
twin-screw boats will be the more expensive
but if the difference is not very great four of
these may be selected.
point in the armor and proectle tests
continually going on is that while the tests
have demonstrated, it is true that no armor
withstand the 13-inch or-piercing
shells. as they have penetrated armor IS inches
thick, and it is not practicable to place any
heavier armor on ships. But in order TO do
this the shot must strike the ship fair and
square OIL the side II it should be quarter
ing or even little angle the shot would glance
and do little or no harm. In naval battle the
men who handle ship must prevent the
enemy from obtaining such an advantageous
position as will give him opportunity to
discharge his heavy guns at just the right dis
lance aud surface to make disastrous hole in
the heavy armor. which is placed over the
vital parts of a ship and protects the machinery
and magazine.
In a modern naval battle two ships might
fight for week without doing any serious
damage, and then lucky shot might sink the
