Picking Pockets with Toes.

The gauchos, or jewellers in the ex-
tensive plains Of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both hands
and feet. Many of them have acquired
through long practice such skill in
using their toes as if they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time ago
q Frenchman who was fishing in one of
the rivers of Buenos Ayres was warned
to be on his guard against the light fin
gered natives He forthwith kept q Wig
liant watch on his companions, but
nevertheless one day, when his attention
was closely riveted on his float, willy
gaucho drew near, and, delicately in
sorting his foot extracted the French
mans hooks and other valuables from
his pocket. Boston Transcript.

THE D!NGLEY TARIFF LAW,
Sioux City Journal,)

Since the close of the fiscal year, June
80, Hon. Nelson Dingley, chairman OF
the ways and means committee OF the
house of representatives, has been
analyzlng the figures of the treasury
department to see how the Dingley
tariff law has Jared in comparison with
the Wilson law.
MIR. Dingley divides the year, for the
purposes OF comparison, into two parts,
the first seven months and the last five
months. The following figures show
the revenue aud expenditures during
these periods:
Revenues first seven months, excu-
sive of Pacific R'y payments. S1S7 ,31S
Expenditures first seven months. 23S, &c. U1
Deficiency first seven months, from
July i, 1897. to February l, 1898. 5110l,S2
Revenue last five months, exclusive
Pacific railroad payments. from
February to july l. 1898 152345 lS2
Peace expenditu. es for five months. l41,543 l9U
Surplus on peace basis from Febru-
airy to July l, 1898 Observation-Disclosures l0S0l, 1892
War expenditures from March to
July L, loSo... oSO4o,6SS
Thus it will be seen that the surplus
from February to July /, 1895, was
$l0,sO1, 1892, while the deficiency from
July 1, 1897, to February 1, 1898, was
s51, lOl 1898. Mr.. Dlngley's contention
is that this deficiency was caused by
the fact that between February and
July, 1897, pending the enactment of
the new tariff law, nearly 100 millions
of merchandise was imported to avoid
the increased duties of the new law
On this amount of 10J millions about
IS millions of duties were paid and ill.,
Guided in the revenue for the fiscal year
1897, when really the amount belonged
to the fiscal year 1898. Thus the real
revenue for the first seven months OF
1898 was about 226 millions, and the
revenue for the last five months OF 30
was less by at least IS millions than
appears on the face.
For the purpose of illustrating the
normal workings of the two tariff laws,
as revenue producers, Mr.. Dingley
quotes the monthly receipts for the last
five months of the fiscal year 1886 in
comparison with the last five months
of the fiscal year 1898, excluding Pacific
railroad items and war revenue, is as
| follows:

revenue in the last five months of the
fiscal year of 1896, when we had the
normal or erations of the tariff of 1894.
the receipts in these months in 1897
being increased by importations IN adj
vance to avoid the higher rates of the
new tariff, was S23, ,976 less than in
the same months OF 1898 under the new
tariff, notwithstanding the advent of
war has diminished the custom receipts
The revenue will be increased at
least Sl2, 500, 600 per month, or $laO, 0O0,-
600 per annum, possibly more, by the
new war revenue law, carrying the
monthly revenue up to nearly $44 ,000,-
coo. The revenue under the tariff of
'97 was about s3l 100000 in July u.s.
600, 600 from customs, $l4,O00,0OO from
internal revenue and $2.5O0,O00 from
miscellaneous, against s29,000,0O0 in
July, 1886, $25. 100000 in August, 1896,
and 1924 100000 in September.
The expenditures for peace purposes
are now about $3l 100000 per month
or ST ,OOO,0 per month more than in
1887; and it is evident that our revenue
laws as they existed before the war
revenue law was made necessary would
have secured revenue enough to meet
peace expenditures.
The expenditures for war purposes
in the month of July were over $40
600 600 and will average as much if not
more SO long as the war lasts.
Mr.. Dingley, in conclusion, gives
comparison of the monthly revenue
from customs alone. together with the
total revenue. exclusive of Pacific rail-
road payments, as follows:
1896. 1898. 1895 1898.
Customs Customs Revenue Revenue
Feb S139o6 ,393 s5O4O,6sO $50 O5922s $751; 72 1856

1t will be seen that MIR. Dlngley is
not disappointed over the practical
workings of the tariff act bearing his
name, and the figures go to prove that
his predictions in regard to it have been
reasonably verified by results.
While the war has worked with refer
ence to custom revenues disturbance of
normal conditions, it may also he adj
mitted that the war will leave us SUBJ
ject to added demands upon the treas.
ury, and that features of the war
revenue act of 1898 are likely to remain
with us Indefinitely.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.
rs Value ~ "a Preventive and Cur
of Pulmonary Diseases.

Is value ~ - Preventive and Cure
of Pulmonary Diseases.
DIR. Il. Fletcher Ingals of Chicago, in
paper with this title, said that the
absence Of systematic study by physi
clans and the very meager literature
compelled him to be somewhat dogmatie
in his paper One Of the most common
observations made by medical men, he
said, was that the long, narrow, fiat
chested individual was the one liable to
the development of tuberculosis and
that i'll patients presenting this form Of
chest tho chances for recovery were re-
duced to a minimum.
This observation no considered suffi-
cient to suggest that systematic physical
training in aiding the development of
tho respiratory muscles, thoracic walls
and pulmonary capacity would be OF
great service in preventing tuberculosis
and in curing it's early stages. Collapsed
air cells, be said furnished a most IA
vorable indus for the development of
tuberculosis. Therefore for the proven
ton of the disease measures should be
adopted to expand the lungs and bring
the air cells into the best possible work
ing condition.
He thought it probable that i'll most
cases there was an early tuberculOus
localized an9mia, diminishing the nutri-
ton of the parts and making them more
susceptible to the tuberele bacilli and
their toxins. OF the large percentage of
the human family said to DO affected by
tuberculosis $50 per cent?, tho majority
recovered even when the disease affect
ed the lungs it not proving fatal in
more than IL per cent.
He stated that III most of those who
recovered the disease had made but lit
tie progress, and that it was only at
autopsy after death from other causes
that its presence was detected, in view
of which it was the physicians duty to
recommend measures likely TO strength
en- tho resisting power Of the lungs.
The beneficial influence of n high alti-
tude he considered probably due to the
increased distensiOn of the air vessels,
and that as means of prophylaxis the
first measure should be to teach the pa
tient to breathe deeply.
Careful physical training, he SAID,
was of the greatest importance, it being
possible for tho long, narrow, flat chest
ed to increase tho expansion of the chest
two or three inches, improve the form
and increase the circumference. He bo-
lieved it possible by physical develop
ment to check tho process of tuberculosis
when it had become established i'll the
chest and to promote recovery. Med.

COMMERCIAL ENGLISH.



Manufacturers who wish to do an OK
port business must have their circulars
and catalogues translated into foreign
languages, says Engineering, but care
should be taken that the translator is
not only good linguist, but also an ex-
pert in the particular business to which
tho documents to be translated refer.
Otherwise the translation is apt to be n
matter Of ridicule to those to whom it
is sent.
We cannot well give an instance to
show how an English circular might be
translated into bad German, for exam
pie, but tho London Engineer gives us
tho following illustration Of Il transla-
ton from another language into English
which is probably no worse than many
translations from English.
"Wo piquo ourselves, says the cir
cular, "on making you known that the

ducing 1t to power, and at the same
time steam boiler blades arc conserved
from tho usual corrosion, not only, but
tho obullition, is totally avoided, as it
appears about some very. interesting ex-
perimonts, which have been made in
several establishments. "
In conclusion the circular adds, "To
be willing, this preparated may be de-
composed. +"
