DID 1T ever occur to the advocates of a
protective tariff. who are now justifying
their course by urging the need of more
revenue, that retrenchment in public
matters is duty exceeding that of levy
ing taxes to meet extravagant expendi
ture? The income of the United States
is sufficiently large to meet any legitl
mate outlay. The trouble is we are too
avisA in making appropriations. If taxes
were direct the people would insist upon
having the purse strings held little
tighter.

country is so defiant in It's attitude it

lace and jerked him out Of the jaws Of
death before they snapped and had his
W leg crushed for his pains. He was
s~enseless with the shock and didn't re-
vive until he was in the ambulance.
Where's Reisling?' he asked in his first
conscious breath. is he hurt?'
"'No, I'm all right, d-n mel sobs
Reisling, who was sober enough now.
Jimmy smiled. Never mind he
said, and shut his eyes.
"We had an anxious time, but Jimmy
recovered, although he lost his leg. Dur
ing his illness Reisling was his devoted
and most miserable attendant. A few
words from Jimmy insured my giving
sn expurgated edition of the accident to
the women when they came. Said
Jimmy: You keep an eye on Reisling,
won't you, and don't let him get dis
couraged? He has got his scare, and he
is sorry enough; he doesn' need to have
it rubbed in. Let it be am accident, SIM

he reforms, and I'm almost sure he
will, 1 want the credit of it, so let him
come all he will, and don't you monkey
with the work of grace. Mind, live or
die, it's a bargain
However, as you know, Jimmy
didn't die. He is very much alive, max
ing money, in partnership with Ralph,
and his mothers chief anxiety now is
lest he fling himself away on some girl
not good enough for him. Reisling did
reform. I have no great prediction
for him to this day myself; he is a
Philistine of the Philistines. But he
does a good deal of rather ostentatious
good with his money, and I am come to
holding that it is better to do good os-
tentatiously than not to do it at all.
One day his wife called Jimmy his
good angel. She mistakes, said jim

THE BEST WAY TO COUNT.
Authorities Differ as to tRe Superiority Of
the Decimal System.

Aathorities Differ Is to tRe Superiority Of
the Decimal System.
British philosophers have of late
been somewhat perturbed over what
seems q very simple question. They
cannot agree al to what is the best
way to count. Americans who have
had occasion to use British money
will not be surprised that some new
means of counting should be thought
desirable In England. But it ap-
pears that this phase of the subject
is not the one under discussion. No
thoroughgoing Briton %entertains
any doubt as to the perfection of
the British system of counting
money. What he does question is
whether the decimal system of COM
putting other things is the perfect
method that it's French o~riginators
think it.
At first thought it seems as if
there could be but one answer TO
that question, the advantages of the
decimal system are so patent. Yet
so keen a thinker as Mr.. Herbert
Spencer does not hesitate to affirm
that a quite different system OF
counting would be superior to This
familiar one. He calls attention to
the fact of 100 not being evenly iii
visible by 8 as an obvious defect,
and suggests that the number GU.
which is evenly Invisible by 9, 8, 4,
5 and 9, would be in some regards
a satisfactory standard. Lord
Kelvin, however, upholds the deci-
NAL system.
OF course every one understands
that the decimal system has been
almost universally employed by all
peoples who have elaborated any
system of counting whatever, and
that the reason for this is that man
chances to be endowed with ten
fingers and ten toes. Various ways
In which primitive peoples name
the numerals-as "a whole hand
and one" for 6, both hands and
one toe" for II, "the whole for 20,
and the like-have afforded great
interest to the ethnologist. But
while this mode of origin of the
usual method of counting is perfect
ly understood, yet such is the power
of custom that the average person
will no doubt find it difficult to rid
his mind of the idea that the num-
Der 10 differs inherently from the
other numbers, and is peculiarly
adapted to form the basis of mathe-
NAUTICAL systems, Mr.. Spencer to the
contrary notwithstanding.
In any event, when one reflects
that the metrical system of com
putting weights, measures and dis
tances-which, whatever its defects,
has obvious advantages over the
systems it was intended to supplant
has made such comparatively
slight progress in a century, one
need have little fear of being obliged
to learn a new system of counting
in our generation. The divisible Ct
will find it a very difficult task tt
supplant the orthodox 100, though
the entire scientific world were tt

ing philosopher in singing itf
