Extravap,nce in Government.

Threc-quarters of a century ago,
when this country had already entered
OIL its vast career of development, the
ordinary expense of carrying on the
government at Washington was about
a dollar head of population, or about
$13,OG0U00 in all, each year. Now it
COSTS over 81 year per head. and the
total. Independent of the interest OH the
public debt. which amounts to S120,-
100000. figures up $4O0.OO0C0O.
The growth has been pretty steady
during all these years. and it costs more
per head of population to meet the or
dinary outlay of our Federal rulers to-
day than it did thirty or thirty-five
years ago by nearly So. and quite 81
more than it did as recently as 1890,
when it was 81 per capita.
The general impression is that as the
country becomes more dcnsely popu-
lated the cost of government for each
individual should decrease. but the eX-
perience of the United States proves
that ii Increases almost four-fOld in Il

"Keep Your Eye on the Ball.

Golf may be briefly described as a
game in which the player that drives n
ball from hole to hole over the course
in the fewest number Of strokes is the
winner. 1t Is a standing rule to keep
your eye on the ball" This maxim is
nowhere more necessary than at Bulu-
wayo, in South Africa. where golf is
played with keen relish. but alas! un-
der great difficulties; for the black man
has special regard for the ball, and
the player must keep shict lookout,
else sharp-eyed Katfir will run away
with it. The "darkeys." it seems, col
lect the balls and string them together
for necklace to be worn with full
dress. The lot Of the "caddie." as the
carrier Of the golf clubs is called, is
usually an enviable one, for he earns
money easily and his life is long holi-
day. But at Buluwayo he has very
hard times indeed, what with coachin :
the player and at the same time keep
ing an eye upon the blacks hidden in
the bush, waiting for chance Of steal
ing the balls.

The Republican newspapers are
speaking of President Mckinley as

Merit Wins.

The invention of Alabastine marked a
new era in wall coatings. and from the
standpoint Of the building owner was a
most important discovery. 1t has from
a small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
"kalsomine" has become so offensive to
property owners that manufacturers OF
cheap kalsomine preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per
sonal use, the merits of the durable Ala
bastine are so thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for possible saving of at the most but a
few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated
that merit wins. and that manufacturers

FELLOW COMPLEXION And DULL EYES
An Indiana Schoolmaster Describes
How They May Be Brightened.
From the Ner Era, G,eensbms, Ind.

From the Ner Era. Greensburc, Ind
There is probably not a brighter young
country school teacher TO be found than
Mr.. Ira Wonn. who lives ON a farm about
five miles south of Greensburg. Ind, and
teaches school at New Pennington, III
Saltcreek Township. Mr.. Wonn boards
with Mr.. J. s. Wise, prominent farmer,
who is well-:o-do.
Mr.. Wonn was in this city few weeks
ago. looking stout and healthy, with an
encouraging color in his checks. All who
know him would formerly describe him
as pale and languid. with Il very s;llow or
yellowish complexion. and his eyes dull:
his auburn hair having the appearance
of being dead. All of these indications of
poor health have vanished. and all within
the last few weeks, as the result. so we
have learned from Mr.. Wonn himself, of
the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
Mr.. Wonn for several years has been
farming the whole year round. and taught
school in the winter time, often riding
many miles each day TO his school. This
great amount of exposure soon told on the
once stout youth, and he rapidly sank by
the suffering of rheumatism in his lower
limbs.
The family physician did not benefit
him any.

half Of the Girls Friendly Society. an
English organization with a branch In
| this country. says that in March of last
year Jane Blank, a poor girl in Welsh
| village, and Sarah Dash, another girl
on a Cornish farm; emigrated to the
United States. They had no friends or
| acquaintances to protect them on the
long voyage. or to receive and look af-
ter them when they landed in America.
But they belonged to this society, which
numbers nearly half million members,
all of whom are young women. both
rich and poor associated for mutual
help and friendly work.
Their intention to emigrate was made
known to the general manager in Eng
land. who arranged that they should
sail on the same ship.
The Cornish and Welsh girls met for
the first time on the deck of the steam
cr. and were known 10 each other by
the little button of the society which
each wore.
Each of them carried letter from

they shared the same room and became

When the ship reached New York bar-

them. guided them through the customs.
took them to respectable boarding
house, secured n situation for Sarah,
and sent Jane the next day safely to her
friends in Ebensburg, Welsh Pennsyl-
yania village.
A few months later the poor Cornish
girl fell sick, lost her place, and penni-
less and homeless would have been
driven to the street but for her friendly
associates, who placed her in hospital
until she was cured, and then again
found work for her.

society had thousand arms, and wher-

This is homely story, but il is one
of facts. 1t shows what may be done
by organization, even among young
girls. when the motive is helpful and
uplifting.

With his hand on the knob,

While, down behind the stair,

Few words the major spoke,
Then through the ranks he broke.

Sadly they wandered,
Out in the cold again,
Hungry six hundred.

Nice jobs in front Of them,

Made to be plundered.

Though they had pushed so well
Through the barred doors,
No one had got smell,

Growing six hundred!
Never was such raid.
Oh, the wild swoop they made,
All the world wondered!
But they withdrew dismayed,
After their cards were played,
