icit OF June 80, 1895, and over four
times the deficit arising under the

measure. Pres. Mckinley closes the
third fiscal year with a shortage OF
$88, $3.50; President Cleveland
closed his third year with deficit Of
$40, 588, 900. The treasury OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration is helped out

But, it may be said, we have had

has absorbed, du:ing the fiscal year,
nearly $3.50, 000, 900. True, but there
was taken from the treasury by con.

The war expenditure for 1S98-99
amounted to 32O.OOO,OOO.

istration, that was going to restore
solvency to the treasury and replace

A Tedf0ua Affair.

"The craze for fast time on railways is
taking new feature" observed prom
inent railroad official recently. at is the
shortening of lines and reconstruction of
surveys in order to make n given line as
straight as possible between two points.
1t is, in fact, scheme to make time by
saving distance. \ railway without u
curve or cutting is, Of course, a splen-
did thing from an engineering standpoint,
but it is a very tedious affair to the pas
senger. To thoroughly realize how ex-
trcmely monotonous n long journey on a
railway without curve or a cutting is
one must travel on the road from Buenos
Ayres to the Andes. That railway beats
all known records for having over 200
miles of tracks almost on line, such as
mathematician describe as the shortest
distance between any two points. No
one who has not seen this remarkable
stretch Of road, straight in front and be-
hind as far as the eye can reach, even
when aided by Il field glass, can grasp
what it means or what an amount of
wearisomc monotony it involves. =

Could Talk English,

A middle aged man, evidently stran-
ger in that part of the city. was on a
Euclid car, bound east, and wanted to
know when Logan avenue was reached.
"Lemme know when you get to Logan
avenue" he said to the conductor.
'You jest listen when call tn
Streets" replied the official.
"Well, l can't understand a word you
say" said the anxious passenger.
The conductor shifted and went back
to the platform, where he gave vent to
occasional bowls that were supposed
to be street names, but were all Choc-
taw to the stranger.
Got there yet?" he presently yelled to
the conductor.
That officials face darkened, and he
said something under his breath.
Then with great distinctness and a
strong. sarcastic favor he roared:
Logan"
The strangers face wreathed itself in
smiles.
Say" he called as he came toward
the rear platform, you can talk fust
rate English when you're mad, can't
you? Keep yourself hot all tn time, my
boy, an get reputation"
And the passengers smiled.-Cleveland

Too willing.

One Sunday morning. when everybody
had gone to church, traveller undertook
to show the landlord how to draw three
different sorts Of wine from the same
cask.
The two went down into the cellar, and
the stranger bored a hole in the barrel,
on which he asked the landlord to place
his thumb. He then bored a second hole.
which mine host had to stop with his 9th
er thumb. He had set to work on the
third, when it apparently struck him that
the landlord would not be equal to the
task of stopping that also, and he ran
out of the cellar Ito fetch a tap" He
never returned, and the innkeeper had to
wait by the side of his cask until the
folks had come out of church. The rogue
had by that time decamped without pay
ing his bill.-London Answers.

the smoking car of a train bound from

both big, stout men. 1t was nighttime,

at the same time, for they arose stimuli

A LITTLE MISTAKE.
But 1t Caused an Uprosr In Nine
Rooms In the Hotel.


"Thc other evening, just before we
changed watch" said the clerk at one OF
the hotels. "a fat drummer came up and
began figuring out his expense account
for the day. He took the first piece OF
paper he could lay his hands on and
didn't nstice that it was the blank we
use for keeping memoranda of morning
calls. The blank is arranged iii columns,
headed by figures representing the hours
and half hours, and he began his pencil,
ing in the 80 row.
First he jetted down $3.50 for buggy
hire, then 10 cents for stamps, 30 cents
for car fare. SLIGO for express package,
$1.10 for kilograms, 80 cents for Il trunk
strap. 3 cents for a paper and % cents
for messenger service. Down at the
bottom, as an afterthought, he put &c
and wrote beer after it, thinking to
work it in somehow, l suppose.
"Well, at $3.50 o'clock next morning
there was trouble and plenty of it. The
night clerk supposed, of course, that the
calls had been left in the ordinary way,
and, while he was little surprised at
30 many people waRting to get up at
such an unearthly hour, he told the boys
to wake Nos. $50, Is, 35, 160. no, so

to 40. They had terrible time getting
the people up, and everybody was as
mad as blazes, particularly the fat drum,
mer himself, who happened to be in 11O
and swore he was going right down and
lick the clerk.
About that time the boy with the
beer got to 40. There was a preacher
from north Georgia in the room, and he
called ont to know what was wanted
I've brought you the beer you ordered,
hollers the kid. and the preacher nearly
had a Gt 'Mcrciful heavens" he said
This will ruin me for life! l will &c

tori!
"He and the fat drummer struck the
Office together. The drummer wanted
gore. but when he saw the call list he
turned pale around the gills and sueaked
back up stairs. 1t took nearly an houi
to get the minister cooled off, and when
the facts leaked out next day several
people began looking for the fat drum,
mer with clubs. He lay low, but he
bought a new memoranda book on pur-
pose to figure up his cash. Or

The First Quinine In Europe.

Peru is the birthplace of the potato,
which was used as an article Of food by
the lncas and exported to Europe by the
Spaniards when they took over quinine
bark and named it in honor of the Coun-
tess of Chincon, whose husband at that
time was viceroy. The Indians had used
the bark for medicinal purposes rs long
as any one could remember, but this no.
BILE lady was the first European to test
its efficacy, and it proved so excellent q
cure for the malaria which saturates the
atmosphere OF Ema that she induced the
Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the
meGicos of the old world. These wise old
chaps sent it to Spain and Italy. and it
is said that one of the first doses of quiz
pine that was ever administered in Eu-
rope was swallowed by the pope.-Chica-

EYES ARE ExPREssloNLess.
Their Changing Effects Are Caused
Entirely by the Lids.

| There are no expressive eyes. The
| expression Of the eye is really in the
lid. The eye itself, independent of its
surroundings. has no more expression
than has a glass marble. A prominent
English oculist makes this daring state
ment, and he defends his position with
emphasis. The eyes have no express
sion whatever" he says. How do you
explain the fact that the eyes of one
person are more expressive than those
of another? | am asked. They are not.
The difference consists in certain nervous
contractions of the lids peculiar to the
individual.
Observe for yourself and you will see
that l am right. We will say that am
greatly interested in something, and my
attention is suddenly called from 1t by
an unexpected interruption. My upper
eyelid raises itself just a little, but the
eye proper does not change an iota in
appearance. If the interruption is but
momentary, the elevation of the lid will
be but momcntary. II the surprise caus-
ed by the interruption is continued, the
lid may be raised even little more, and,
in fact, the whole Of the forehead, in
Guiding the eyebrows, is raised and wrin-
kled. But the eye remains the same.
'When a person is excited, much the
same emotions are gene through" con-
tinued the doctor. His eyes are open
wide, in cases of intense excitement, to
their greatest extent, but the forehead is
not wrinkled, and the ball of the eye is
as expressive as a bit of glass. No
more.
'Observe the face of one who laughs.
You will see that the lower eyelid has no
muscll Vi its own. and it is only by the
contraction of the adjacent muscles in
smiling or laughing that it is made to
move. That is the reason that there are
many wrinkles about the eyes of merry
persons.
1.-The expression of deep thoughtfulness
is produced by the dropping of the upper
lid. The lids of some persons fall so low
that the pupil of the eye itself is the
same. II the meditation is over sub
ject that worries the thinker. the express
sion is again quite different. The eye
lids contract, and the eyebrows are low
cred and drawn together. This is true
of q reflective mood.
Gas to emotional moods, there is the
expression Of anger, for instance. The
eyes, instead Of closing, are open wider
than they are normally, bat the brows are
closely knit.
I'm expressing sadness. the entire up
and the folds Of the skin collect there,
giving the lid thick. heavy appearance"
