During the second year of President
Cleveland's last term, the Mckinley tar
if law being still in force. the treasury
deficit amounted to $SS000,000. The
second year Of the present tariff law the
deficit was reduced to about SCI 900. 600,
and for the year lust closed il was only
about S20,0OO,000. In view Of these facts
and figures 1t is not easy to see how the
tariff tinkers at Washington propose to
improve the revenues by re-enacting prac-
tically the same schedules as made up
the Mckinley law.-Kansas City Star.

4 beautiful Crctan Custom.

One OF the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve of every in
surrection is known as adelphopoiesis,
or determination. One Of it's imme-
date results is the cessation OF all
feuds, enmity and rancor. 1t is carried
out as follows: "A number of individuals
choose young girl, who must be pretty
no difficult matter in Crete. They
inform her parents of their intention,
and the needful consent is never with
held. Then priest is sent for and
told to begin the ceremony. He takes
very long girdle and joins all the emn
with 1t in circle, in the center OF
which the young girl is placed. Then
the clergyman recites number of
prayers and winds up by giving his benz
ediction to all present. The moment
he pronounces the last amen the circle
and its center stand in the relation of
brothers and sister to each other to all
religious and social intents and pur-
poses. Each and every one of the males
is bound in honor-and Cretan knows
no more sacred obligation-to protect
that girl throughout her life, but none
of them can ever take her for his wife.
She is and remains their sister in the
eyes Of the priest and the people to the.
end of her days. But they must also
stand by and succor each other. and
IL needs be at the cost of life ITSELF.
