THE T4RIBF FOR DEFTCTENCY.

The tariff for revenue Is not work ing well, but the tariff for deficiency is. Last December Secretary Carlisle estimated that the deficit for the cur rent fiscal year, ending June SOth, would be $2O,0OO0OO. Thus far revenue receipts have fallen below government expenditures over $43,0O0,OOO. Tn order to make Secretary Carlisle's estimate good, the income of the government must be S2S. .OOO, GOO greater than its out go for the next four months. But there is no indication which justifies the hope of this surplus or of any surplus. Senator German predicts, notwith- standing the amount expected to be realized from the income tax, that the deficit for the year ending June S0th will be $60OOO, ,OOO To make this predic- tion correct, the government must spend about $17,OOO, 900 more than 1t receives between now and that date, and there is no reason to doubt that such will be the case.
 The billion dollar congress had great success in filling out one side of theI account but it made poor work of deal ing with the other.

pleated white satin yoke and a deep swan'sdown. Rosettes and draped ep- aulettes faced with white satin consti- tute the remaining ornamentation.
 The other dress is in pearl gray ben galine the skirt arranged in godets and trimmed around the hem with a band of velvet The side is ornament ed with a large, flaring velvet bow. For the bodice the silk is draped over a fitted lining and is trimmed with a ber- tha of pleated chiffon headed by a gathered ruching of the same. Bows of velvet are placed in the corners and a velvet belt comes around the waist. Lace may be employed for the bertha instead of chiffon.
 Whenever it is possible a band of dark velvet should form the finish at the foot of a delicate gown. This obvi- ates the necessity of wearing light slippers, and also makes a finish to the skirt that does not soil quickly. touch of the same velvet is set at the top of the collar when there is one, and there, too, the dark finish adds to the lasting qualities of the dress. for a very light high collar will hardly wear more than once without serious loss to its freshness.
 A pretty notion is just now in vogue whereby the folded collar Is attached by ribbons to the folded belt. Some times as many as five strands of rib bon hang loosely from the collar around ot the belt, a handsome rosette and ends being set for finish at the right of the collar and at the left of the belt Such an accessory makes a sim pie silk bodice or one of loose chiffon seem quite elaborate.

A new method of detecting fire damp by sound has been invented by M. Har- dy and approved by the French Acade- mic des Sciences. Tt is based on the fact that the sound emitted by an organ pipe varies according to the density of the air supplied. M. Hardy's apparatus consists of two small pipes, the size of a penny whistle, one of which is con neoted with the air in the mine and the other with the ventilator shaft. The presence of fire damp produces discord at once between the two sounds which increases with the quantity of gas and can be measured, By this conltrivance the presence of one part in five hundred of fire damp can be detected.

There IL q general tendency this year to-

paigns. The leaders Of all parties appear
To bo OF tho opinion that 10 a. waste Of
time and energy 10 devote several months
20 tho discussion Of present questions ana
tho claims Of candidates representing them
These campaigns are always more or less
detrimental 10 business and industrial In
tercsts. There Ii no good reason why "a
whole summer should be spent In attend
ing public meetings and listening 90 rope
titioDs Of familiar arguments. Tho people
keep themselves posted upon current is
sues and do not need this prolonged spe-
cial instruction In order 90 learn how they
ought TO vote.
This Is true not only as TO state cam
paigns, but also as 20 those OF national
character. In former times, when news
papers were scarce, and means of oommu-
nication limited, there was some justifl-
cation for long campaigns. But the con-
ditions are different now, and there Ii no
excuse for keeping the country In "A tu-
multi OF political controversy from spring
until fall. The American people are busy
people, and cannot spare tho time TO carry
on n campaign OF six months when one Of

well.
1t suits the politicians to have long
campaigns, because opportunity Is thus
afforded them to gain notoriety and secure
personal advantages but there Is no bcne-
fit to be derived by the people from such q
method Of adjusting political matters.
They do not find 1t necessary in Great
Britain to follow such course. Their con-
tests are short sharp and decisive, and
there is no complaint that the public In

Art of Sailing.

Art Of Sailing.
There exists down on Water street, In
the heart OF the great tobacco district OF
New York a school where Gotham's s mil
lionaire yachtsmen go to acquire prac-
tical knowledge Of navigation, and its pu-
pills number many Of the wealthiest and
best known men in America.
The school In question Is known as the
New York Nautical college, presided over
by Captain Howard Patterson, formerly
of the United States navy, professor of ma
val science at Browns college and com
mandant Of the Haitian navy.
The majority Of Its patrons are men In
the higher walks of life millionaire
yachtsmen, who desire to become acquaint-
cd with the study of navigation merely
for their personal amusement. Ninety per
cent Of the city's prominent yachtsmen
have qualified themselves In this school,
having mastered the science so thoroughly
that they now hold full navigator's diplo-
mas. Eighty per cent Of them struggled
for the acquisition Of this knowledge be-
cause 1t enabled them to be independent
Of professional pilots and navigators, and
also because 1t gave them an exhaustive
understanding of that portion of the sport
on which depend the guidance and safety
of their craft.-New York Journal.
