TRENTON, March II, 1S9S.-For two
weeks the Joint Committee on Appropria-
lions has been quietly and ~assiduously Ia
boring over the annual budget and supple
mental or deficiency bill. When the com
mittee adjourned about midnight Wednes-
day night the tabuiation of ordinary ex-
penditures was completed and considera-
ton of the extraordinary ones was so far
advanced as TO warrant the committee
10 announce its readiness to accord hear
ings on Monday next to managers of
State institutions and other interested
parties who are seeking larger ~appropria-
tions thar the committee believes the
condition of the State finances will war
rant.
An unexpected and gratifying result of
the committees labor was the alleged dis
covery that, Notwithstanding the diver
sion of about $3.50. O00 of the State revenue
on account of the immediate application
of the Equal Taxation" act of last year,
and the proposed extraordinary expendi-
lures already agreed to, the balance IN
the State Treasury at the close of the
next fiscal year will be equal to, if not in
excess of, the present stated balance. This
condition is attributed to two causes-f1rst
a material increase in the revenues from
tax on railroad and miscellaneous corpor-
atoms and other sources; and, second,
the fact that the State war debt, which
heretofore has necessitated a large an
nual appropriation, is more than extin-
guished by the sinking fund.
The later situation, while not generally
known, is plainly set forth in the annual
report of State Treasurer Swain, which
shows the following condition of the debt:

LAuD NOT THE oLDEN TIME.

Laud not the dolts who prate and mourn
the so-called good old times,
They no more match these better days
than dollars match with dimes;
IT'S quite the fashion for some folks to
thus belnoan the past, 80.
And at the best things of to-day groWl deep

If they were suddenly flung back CEN
fury or so,
Their faces would elongate to five yards Of
direst woe.
TO miss the birthstone matches that we
use to start fire
Would stir their tempers fathoms oeep ano
kindle high their ire;
TO lack the railways. steamboats, street
cars with electric power
would turn these worthless inside out and
make their tempers sour.

No umbrellas to protect from suooen sun

Books few and far between, newspapers OF

No kilograms bright, new ana crisp from

And all the world proceeding on the sched-

Prime ignorance the atmosphere in which
CROPPED countless fools
Who could not read for lack of books and
handy public schools.
All sanitary science then mystery pro-

Germs of disease abundant, sewage soak

Right glad are we that not for US were

That only now in history are those an

All hail the thrice blest years which fill the

Thank GOD the good old times with all

THAT GREAT IS:
BLAKE LEGEND.

@ HEWANEE was proud of old Blake,
not for his graces, but because OF
-. one great virtue, constancy-con-
people, possibly because most OF us are
incapable of prolonged devotion.
Old Blake, as he was commonly
known, had been one Of the early resi-
dents of the town, then a mere prairie
village. At first lie kept a general
store, but as the village broadened INTO
a muddy, ambitious town that called
itself city he narrowed his sphere and
had only hardware store. From his
manner one might have fancied that the
hardness of his merchandise had en-
tered his heart.
He was sour, obese old man, and
strangers complained of his grabbed
temper, but the inhabitants of Shewa-
nee would shake their heads and hint
at an early love affair and lifelong
devotion to memory. People made
1,any allowances for the crusty old
man, because it is still generally be-
lieved that consistency and bad temper
go hand in hand. They even grew to
have local pride in the badness of his
temper.
HIS place of business was just across
the street from the courthouse. On
warm, summer evenings he would come
out in his shirt sleeves, tilt his chair
against a post and sit with his head
dropped forward, staring at the side
walk. If passer-by spoke to him he
only grunted in reply. He was sup
posed to be dreaming of his lost love
ut these times.
Women he frankly despised, but they
freely forgave his disdain on account
OF his past. He had boarded with Mrs.
Patterson for 20 years and she treated
him as if he were rare and valuable
animal-the only one of his kind in cap
tiyity. .
HE has never really told me his
story in so many words" she said to a
friend, ''but I've learned it by degrees
perhaps she meant by looking over
his personal effects at housekeeping
time. He has only one picture in his
room. A pretty girl with her hair fiat
and wearing a hoop. Of course, this
must be the one" Then Mrs. Patter-
son and the friend enjoyed peep at
this daguerreotype and sighed in mild
sympathy with the disconsolate lover.
'sWhat is it about pie?'' asked the
friend to start anew the story.
He just can't bear the sight of mince
pie and ho1lers like anything if I set it
near his place-nor he don't never eat
yea1--I guess she must affixed 'em and
now he's set against 'em."
According to the tale of Shewanee,
Blake had been a very gay and hand
some young man-all ugly old men
were handsome once and ladies whose
span is now a yard were mere fairies
at least they say so. While old Blake
was still young Blake he fell desperate
w in love with schoolgirl, too young
to marry He vowed he would wait 100
wears rather than marry another wom
nm. In time they became engaged, the
long waiting was almost ended and the
wedding cakes baked when she fell

THE HAlRDRESSER REFLECTS.
He Tells of Human Vanity as DIS.
| ulaycd in His Business.


The hairdresser was, as is not unusual
with members Of his profession, in
talkative mood. He was also inclined to
mediate upon the vanities OF human
kind, which he has admirable oppor-
tunities to observe.
If it wasn't for the fact that people
think so much of their looks" he said,
1--WE should lose three-quarters of our
business, and might as well shut up
shop. 1t is wonderful to me, although
you'd think might be used to it by this
time, to see how much trouble people
will take about their hair. Just now the
most fashionable shade of hair among
women is a deep reddish brown or
bronze. To get that color we bleach the
hair to blond shade and then dye it to
the proper bronze tone. 1t is very slow
job. for there must be five or six applica-
lions Of the bleach and then the dyeing
takes a good deal of time. The whole
process requires an entire day, and
women will come in here and sit from
morning until evening, never losing pa
thence if they only think the result will
be becoming and stylish.
''But that's only one of the ways in
which they show their vanity about
hair. There are lots of others. Why,
had woman come in the other day, who
wanted all her own hair cut off, so that
she could wear wig. Hooked at her in
surprise. Her head was covered with
thick, soft, naturally wavy hair, of the
finest quality, but what do you suppose
| no D1,iaot;D,, W.
I took out the hairpins, and the beauti-
full mass of hair fell in ripples far below
her waist
"'But madam said, it is shame to
cut off this hair. 1t is magnificent
"'Oh, no. she said, I will not have
gray hair. Cut it, 1 tell you; want a
brown wig
$50, of course, / did as was told The
hair dropped to the floor, and I was
glad, I tell you. when found she didn't
want to take it away with her. For, YOU
know, handsome gray hair is the rarest
and hardest to get in our business.
Most of it comes from abroad. What do
you suppose that woman's hair was
worth to me? Thirty dollars-not a
| cent less! She went away with heavy
| brown wig, which was hideous, COM
pared with the hair she had just lost.
1T isn't fair, though, to lay all the
vanity to the women. Lots of men come
| here at regular intervals to have their
hair curled. Oh, it is true; there are
plenty Of men vain enough for that
he added, as his auditor looked incredu-
lous. But I must admit I was dunn
founded while ago, when man came
to have his hair bleached. I made it a
| golden-blond for him and then curled
it, according to his orders. But hope
he won't come again. Men who have
their hair curled haven't any too much
| sense, and a fellow who would have his
hair bleached must be wrong in his
! head somewhere. I don't care to work
for, crazy folks and the hairdresser
put the finishing touches to the sham
poo which he had been administering
to the customer as he talked.-N. Y.
