some two years past the presence of
this member of the anacharis tribe of
water plants has been known, but no
satisfactory explanation of the method
by which it found it's way into the wa
tiers has yet been arrived at. One in
genious authority has expressed the
opinion that it was introduced with
some goldfish which were purchased and
turned out into the loch. The fish were
brought from hawkers, in globes, in
which it was supposed there were sup
plies of this foreign weed. Others as
sert that it was brought into the vicir-
ity by an American timber ship. Be
this as it may, the inconvenience to
which the ever-increasng masses of
weed give rise is very considerable.
Anglers and others are viewing with
keen interest the steps that are being
taken to destroy the encroaching plant.

OUEER IND FOOLISH.

Our little brown brothers in the Phil
ippines whom we are trying to bless and
save have shown very queer and fool
ish opposition to our benevolence and
beneficence. And now we read that
some of our little brown sisters in the
Philippines are as queer and foolish as
the little brown brothers are. They
have written a letter to General Otis
declaring that if all the men are killed
the women will still keep up the fight
against the Americans.
Poor little brown brothers and sisters!
They don't know what is good for them,
and they are fighting their best friends.
The situation is discouraging, but we
don't see anything to do except to keep
on killing them until they are all dead
or until those who are left alive see how
good we want to be to them,

SOME I4RGE FRO UR Es.

The governments fiscal year ends
ingly predicted that the deficit will be
little less than 500, 100000. Such a def
cit as that will of course look large to
some people, but it doesn't amount to
much when the size and glory of the
country are properly considered. The
deficit this year will be only about &c.,,
900, 900 greater than that of last year,
and the expenditures will be only about
$165, 100000 larger than those of last
year. 1t is interesting to notice that the
product of the war revenue act which,
with the exception Of few items, went
into effect July 1, 1898, will be little
less than 100000 600. The receipts from
tobacco alone will probably show an in
crease for the year of more than S15,-
000 900, spirits an increase Of $6,500,000
beer and other fermented liquors an in
crease of more than $2S 900, 900, oleomar-
garine an increase of about $685., 900, and
the receipts from special taxes, docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps for the
year will likely bring the increased re-
ceipts on account of the war revenue
act up to nearly $500, 900, 900 The two
items in that act which have produced
more than ten times as much revenue
as any two others are those relating to
documentary and proprietary stamps.
On April 80 last these items had produc-
ed over s36, 100000, and it is not improb-
able that by July 1 that amount will be
increased to more than $4,000, 000 The
tax on legacies will probably produce
not much in excess of $1,000, 900, while
the special tax collected from bankers
will exceed $4,000, 900.
A calculation has been made at the
treasury which shows that, leaving out
of the account the $2300O0, 900 expended
this year on account of the war, the
800, 900 produced by the war revenue
act, and the 81, 79S, 314 received from the
Central Pacific, the figures would show
surplus for the year approximating
$20,000,000. Of course these little items
can't be left out of the account but the
shows what an "if'' may be

worth.

Boys and girls are always interesting
even when they are not useful, and the
study Of them that Is going on nova
days is interesting if not useful. An
elaborate study Of the school children of
Washington, D. c., has been made by
Arthur Macdonald. He has discovered
that from the age of II to Is girls are
taller and heavier than boys, but at no
other time. After IS the boys leave the
their advantage. At the average boy
and girl measure about Al inches, the
boy being trifle taller. At IL they are
both about SO inches tall. At 13 the girl
is over an inch taller, but at II. when
the girl has reached height of 81
inches, the boy has gone to sc inches.
At Z, boy and girl average 45 to 47
pounds, respectively, and the boy is
heavier till the age of II or IL is reached.
At this time each weighs about 70
pounds. At IA, when the average boy
weighs So, the girl weighs 81, but at Is
the boy begins to catch up, and at II
weighs 123, while the girl weighs but
iii. AS respects height when sitting,
the small boy is higher at all ages till
about -, but at IA the sitting height of
the girl is an inch greater than that Of
the boy. Eighteen months later the ad-
vantage is lost and at II the average
boys sitting height is an inch more than
the girls. The girl continues growing in
sitting height, or length of trunk longer
than in length of limbs. Boys of the
mountaineering classes have at all ages a |
greater height and sitting height than
those of the laboring classes Similarly |
boys of the non-la boring class are

American boys excel foreign boys in
height considerably and slightly in sit
ting height, but are inferior in weight.
On the other hand American girls, while
excelling their foreign sisters in height
are inferior in sitting height and
weight. White boys are taller than col
ored boys. In sitting height the differ
ence is very striking, white boys having
greater length of trunk than length Of
leg as compared with colored boys. The
latter are heavier from to 49, after 10
the white boy is the heavier. Bright
boys, as d rule, excel dull boys in cir
conference of head, height (after 14),
weight CATER 15O and sitting height (af-
ter 15). In the case of colored children
"dullness and large sitting height are
concomitants, if not closer related"
Girls maintain the average of brightness
for girls more steadily than do boys
ness. The highest percentage of unruli-
ness is shown by the dull boys-some ten
per cent. of the dull boys are unruly.
Boys Of the non-laboring class are the
more unruly. Unruliness, laziness and
sickness increase largely among boys
at the age of IA and among girls at
about ~. Unrulness attains its maxi
mum at 10 and again at II. Bright boys
have the largest circumference of head
at all ages except II, and boys have
larger circumference of head than girls.
