the questions now before the country:
TIMES PROPITIOUs FOR CHANGE.
The times are propitious for the reinstatement
OF the Democratic party in control of the gov

EXPENSES OF GOVERNMENT.

the present administration went into power
there was large surplus. but. Notwithstanding

short during the last fiscal year of over $40

year the Expenditures exceeded the receipts by
$24dO0OU0. and if this rate of excess should
conttnge, the deficit for the present fiscal year
would be IN the ueiShbOrhOOd of %140OOOO0O
This needless deficit is due TO the extravaganza
Of the administration and only be met by
imposing additional taxes or selling bonds

VALUE OF GOOD BREATHING.

AS an aid to strength and endurance
there are few things more Vaiuaole
than the ability to breathe good, deeu
breaths. A reliable correspondent
who has been in the far east studying
the Japanese army, says that without
doubt the amazing stamina OF the
little brown men is due to the fact
that they understand the art just men
toned. They are able to tramp twenty
miles a day with 100 pounds OF bag
gage on their shoulders, and then r1se
in the middle of the night perfectly
fresh to meet the attack OF the enc
my. Actual measurements have shown
that while the average Russian Is
much taller and heavier than the JAP
anese, the latter as rule have great
er lung capacity.

GEORGE WASHING.
TON UNIVERSITY

Before the United States was flve
wears old George Washington had
dreams of great American university
where the sons of liberty might be ad-
equately educated without going
across the water. He made bequest
of generous proportions for such an
institution to be located far enough
inland to accommodate all the people
of his time. AS a result of this and
other efforts, a university came into
being at Washington, D. c.. but'
strange to say. it was named Columbia
instead of after the first president.
Now, after the lapse of nearly cen
trry. the name has been changed TO
the George Washington university.
