Expected 1t viii Foot Up s4O,OOO,OOO at
the End of the Year.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The decision
of the supreme court Ill the income tax
case necessitates revision of the es-
Inmates OF the government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, and from the best
data obtainabie, it i, believed that the
deficit for the year will amount to $4O,-
600, 900. The amount Of the deficit to
date is $47, ,27l ,257 with indications of a
further increase before the close Of
the present month, but the income
tax receipts, it is expected will materi-
ally cut down this amount during the
remaiding 10 weeks o. the fiscal year.
Receipts from customs and internal rev.
nue. sources continue to increase, but
not at the pace expected, and with fully
One-half OF the anticipated receipts
from the income tax cut off. it is doubt
full if the close of the year shows a
deficit less than $40,O0o,OOO. As has
been the case for some years. the ex-
penditure on account OF pensions is
more than third of the entire eXpendi-
lures Of the government, and several
times during the last two years, tne in-
exorable acquisitions OF the secretary or
of the interior on pension account has
caused some apprehension among the
officials that the time might come when
they could not be honored with the old
time promptness. Already this month,
more than $ll zoo, 900 has been paid t.
pensioners, and since July l nearly
$ll7 ,5OO,O 900 has been paid Oh the pen
sion account.

No Offensive and Defensive Alliance With

YOKOHAMA. April 23.-The following
the Japanese government, denying the
reports that it has concluded an offens-
i've and defensive alliance with China,
and declaring that the commercial adj
vantages secured by Japan will also be
enjoyed by other powers under the
favored nation treatment:
Misapprehensions are reported to be
current in Europe in regard to the terms
Of the Japan China treaty. 1t has been
represented that Japan has secured a
2 per. cent ad valorem duty on imports,
instead of specific duties, and has also
fofmsd an offensive land defensive
alliance with China. The CONNER
cial concessions obtained by Japan.
beyond those already secured by the
treaty powers nnder the favored nation
clause comprise the right to navigate
the Yang Use Kiang to Chung King
and also Woon Sung river and the
canals heading to Foo Chow and Hank
Chow and the right to import machin-
cry and certain goods duty free, and to
establish factories.
These concessions are not exclusive
to Japan; they naturally extend to the
European powers, i'll view of the fav'
ored nation clause.
In securing these privileges for all,
Japan expects ths approval Of all the
powers.
The reported offensive and defensive
alliance does not exist.

ncara Growtb of a Iifetime.

If you are proud of fresh shave and smooth face, you visit the barber at least twice a week or probably every other day. Suppose you commenced this practice at the age of IF and continued it up to the age of TO- have you any idea of the total length of the beard that would be removed in that time? If your beard grows as rap- idly as that of the average man, you must have about one-flfth of an inch removed each week, or 10 2-5 inches each year. Be- tween the ages of F and 70 years 53 years must intervene, and each of these B years gives almost foot of beard growth, or a total of 530 inches, exclusive of fraction, or, to be more exactly exact, A feet and 9 inches of beardl
 The above is all figured on tho assump- tion that the flaments of the beard main- tain their average growth of one-ffth of an inch during the period mentioned, which, of course, is out of the question. There is all the difference in the world in beard growth. Some men will raise ''stubble feld'' fourth of an inch in longth while another will hardly raise enough to roughen his face. Then, again, we do not wish to be understood as saying that a man would grow half hundred feet of beard in a lifetime pro- vitled he never shaved. On the contrary, the average man would not grow more than 2% feet. On reaching q length of Is to 20 inches the beard invariably becomes brittle or slits and after this the growth is very slow or ceases entirely St. Louis Republic.

was searching for a building in the heart of the city. Tho wind was blowing Q gale and great clouds of dust swept up into my face. My veil had come loose, and I expected each moment to see my hat roll off into the tangle of horse cars and dray wagons around the corner. Not police man in sight, nor q drug store, and I didn't know the number of the building. Its name indicated prominence-that was all l had to direct me. I stopped several ladies and inquired of every street vender in the neighborhood. No one know. A carriage stood waiting in front of a prom inent retail store. The driver looked as if he might be able to speak the English Ian guage, which some of the numerous people had asked were not, and I repeated my query to him. He had never heard of the place. As turned and gave last despair ing look for policeman a man stepped from corner and spoke to me. He was the most depiorable specimen of the much despised city tramp it has ever been my lot to meet, and involuntarily I shrank back. He said simply, "It's that tall, dark building there at the end of the street." With grateful word of thanks I hurried on. wondering if he had expected or would have been offended if had offer cd him quarter.

Flowers and Their Stems.

Every now and then florists and other authorities rise up and declare that it is no longer "good form" to keep flowers in clear glass through which their stems show. That is very much like saying that it is no longer "good form" to have long eyolashes or rosy checks The stem of q graceful flower is one of it's greatest beau ties Seen through a but of clear crystal with tiny globules of water incrusting it, it is almost as much of an ornament as tho blossom which it supports. Until nature begins to produce ugly stems nothing will Dc more appropriate for holding flowers than well shaped glass vases. Occasionally bit of colored glass is permissible.
