REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGAM

The .extravag ance of the present ad-
ministration is a difficult matter for
it's apologists to explain. First, there
is the deficit for the fiscal year 1854
OF over 100000 staring them in the
face. which has reduced the available
cash balance in the United States
Treasury to the zero point, so that
Secretary Shaw will probably have to
again call on the banks for another
installment of the cash they hold and
on which they pay no interest. 1t is
all very Well to call the payments for
the Panama Canal an extraordinary"
expense and so excuse the present con-
ditions. There are other expenses that
this administration has piled up that
are equally extraordinary that no ex-
cuses can palliate or gloss over.
Take the expenditures for the year
before the war with Spain, when the
Democrats were in power and the ap-
preparations made by the Republicans
for the present year, and the extrav-
agance of the present administration
is at once apparent.

This makes SLIT 900, 900 more this
year than in 1S96-more than double

publican apologists offer for such a
vast increase, and how do they pro-
pose to further tax the people to sup
port such extravaganza?

pendItures For the army and navy
alone are $135 100000 greater than for
the last year of the Cleveland admin
stration, and other Departments are
run on about the same extravagant
calibre. More taxes or economy in
expenditures will soon be imperative.
While the appropriations for PEN
sions were 1922, 900 less and the ex-
penditures for Rivers and Harbors
$s.643, 900 less under Roosevelt for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1904.
than under Cleveland in 1S94-'5, the
appropriations for actual warlike pur-
poses were $183,569 900 greater On
the whole, Roosevelt's administration
has been nearly twice as expensive as
Cleveland's, and the increase has been
due nearly all to militarism.

There is no one thing that the
thoughtful voter should investigate so
closely as the government expendi-
lures and receipts. The Roosevelt adj
ministration and the Republican Con-
gress seem perfectly reckless about
how the taxpayers money Is expend-
ed. While under the last year of the
last Democratic administration the
Army and Navy cost ss2, oe0, 900, the
present expenditures for those pur-
poses are costing $2f7 ,oG0 600.

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys. liver. bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get UP many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

HUSBANDS NOTE THIS.

There are few right thinking persons who would deny that business men ought to confide in their wives
 First of all, a woman cannot feel that her husband has given her his whole heart when he keeps from her the whole course of his business life. No doubt, it is generally done from good motive. The husband thinks he is saving his wife worry and trouble. but in most cases he is doing the exact opposite, for every wife with right feeling would gladly Iesen her hus- bands burdens by sharing them.
 Nor does a sensible woman care for the left-hand1d compliment that her pretty head was not meant to bother wdth figures. True marriage is a true union in everything where all is open. and the griefs and sorrows of each are shared by both, and comfort drawn from the mutual sympathy. A man who does not confde in his wife de- liberately shuts himself from his chief nsolatiOn.-Pittsburg Press.

THE czARs MANY HOUSES.

A prominent and distinguished mem Der of the large Russian colony in Paris, writes a Paris corresponden-, has been giving a French interviewer amazing accounts of the magnificent possessions and properties of the Czar. In all he is the master of 100 palaces and chateaux, scattered about all over his vast empire, and each one of them is marvelously furnished and marvel ously filled with servants. Something like 35.000 buffers, grooms, footmen, valets, chefs, coachmen. gardeners, etc, are housed in the hundred residences, and their total salaries amount to the enormous sum of 20,OOO,OOO francs or $4OO0 900.
 In the many stables are some 5000 horses, while the heads of cattle may be placed at 50,0OO; but even the dis tinguis.hed and well informed member of the Paris Russian colony hesitates lat stating the number of inhabitants of the Czar's kennels, the dogs being entirely innumerable. Naturally, the Czar is not familiar with all his palaces and chateaux. Out of the 10O indeed, there are no less than sixty-two upon which he has never set eyes and which in all probability, he never will see But the servants are there, and every thing is ever in readiness in case the Car should take it into his head to look just once upon his truly mag ntEcent abOdes.

LAMPS OF TIE ANcIENrs.

This world groped until the thir- teenth century without discovrfng even the tallOw candle" says a writer. "The expression, Mankind was plunged in darkness during the early ages" is true m every sense. It was perhape the ac- cidental burning of a bit of fat of some slain animal that suggested it's use as a luminant, while the hollow shell from the sea, a cOncave rock ar a mold of sum baked clay held the fat, which was burned by placing a rush in the fat with the lighted end projecting over the edge of the rude dish Step by step the lamp was fashioned into a thing or beauty. though rarely a joy forever. Admirable specimens of lamps in terra cotta, hh stone, in brass and in bronze have been found on sites of Hebrew cities and in the temples of Hindoostan. From the tomb of Egypt; from the tumuli of Assyria and ancient lettered Babylon; from the opened graves of Chaldean sages, came examples oF household lamps. revealing a general use many centuries before. the Chris tian era.
 So from the fat of slain animals the resinous products of the forest trees ana Inc wax of the wild bee came those lights which gleamed upon fair women
 
 From Rome the oil lamp passed sue cessively into Germany, Gaul and Britian. Tn these countries torches rusnes dipped in grease and a very odorous fish oil were the methods of artificial lighting until the Roman con- quest. The rush light of that day con- sisted of a nOtched wooden stick sci 10 a wooden base. Stalks of the rush Were peeled to the pith save for one strand of husk, and passed through not grease. Sometimes three or more were twisted together and when cold wer. placed in notch in the standard. to be pushed up when the fire neared the wood.
 These rush lights emitted a strong flame and similar odor. You may make one Of these and enjoy for an hour the ancient light of Britian and that which 10 this day dispels the gloom of night m remote Irish cabins. The candle of me common people was the rush Hrbt of our ancestors. It burned where can dles made from wax were too dear ans before others found a way to re- me a cheap candle grease from the fat of animals"

STRICT ECONOMY.
When Sheets and Table Cloths Were
 Used lnterchangeably.

The strictest economy ever saw practiced." said the old stager, was down in Virginia early in the war, where I was stationed as butler-on the losing side
 "One of the captains and myself stayed over one night with an old rebel planter. and right royalty he treated us. as far as he was able. You know how a sOutherner is-he gives up his pride last of all, and this man was nO-excep- tion. He put us in the only spare room, had bed made up for us in a hurry. and left us to sleep the sleep of the righteous.
 But about in the morning we were awakened by a tremendous humping at the door I jumped up and called cut:
 Whats the matter?'
 We recognized old Aunt Sukey's voice when she replied:
 |" Ain you geumen g,wine to git up so An kin set de table?
 Why go ahead and set the table, auntie,' I said. We'll be up in time for breakfast
 'Clar to goodness. how An gwine set de table widout no table cloth? You all done got every sheet in de house!"
 Aunt Sukey got her sheet" conclud- ed the old timer, and most of my np- petite went with it.''-New York Times

RARVs DIAGNOSIS.
Why the Man With the Long Beard
 Was Embarrassed.

Seated on a bench in Central park, a nurse girl was gently moving to and fro a perambulator in which was a baby of about 15 months. At the other end of the bench was a man whose prominent lower jaw was adorned with a luxuriant beard which parted in the middle and curved gracefully outward and upward.
 For a few minutes the baby regarded the man, and especially the whiskers. with grave attention. while he looked at her with lofty condescension. At length a beatific smile overspread the little ones features. Then, with her blue eyes still fixed upon the wLhiskers. and kicking up her tiny feet in an ec- stacy of deligh5 she gurgled:
 "Bow-woW! Bow-wowI"
 A wave of color suffused the mans face above the whiskers and he hitched uneasily in his seat. It was an aWk- ward situation. and to relieve it the nurse girl patted the baby and said:
 No, dearie, that isn't a doggie.'
 The man remained to hear no more. New York Press.

 T could also quote many great actors who had recourse to stimulants, both in the strain of preparing for a play and also in the stress of portraying their parts. Mrs. Siddons drank d glass Of porter just before the curtain went up for each act. Edmund Kean slipped beef tea in the wings constantly with a bit of cold brandy just before the crucial point of the play"
 But you don't mean to say that you advise a young man to take to drugs and liquors in order to win fame?'' said a portly. smooth faced man who had preached in an upstate church be- fore he began to write books on religion. One might see by the way he asked the question that no possible answer could placate him.
 T am giving advice to no one," was the quiet answer. "I am only stating facts. If Byron had not touched gin or Tennyson tobacco. I have no doubt they would have eventually reached as high ideals as yoHrs."

SNEAKERS.
Man New to the Woods Discovers Their
 Usefulness.

Sneakers" said the man back from the woods. that's what you want, sneak CTS.
 Not that everybody has them We found plenty of people walking the trails in leather shoes, and, as matter of fact, that's what I would have done myself if a friend, who knew a heap more about such things than I did, hadn't warned me to get sneakers. You want the sneakers big enough, but not too long; no long end sticking out in front of your toes to catch things as you walk. The soles of leather shoes soon wear smooth in the woods and if the trails are dry you slip on leaves and pine needles and twigs and roots and your hard heels. of course, don't give you any foothoId whatever; but sneakers, with their flexible rubber soles extending the whole length of the foot. and their equally flexible cloth tops, permit the foot the freest play, and permit it to settle and grip on what ever you step.
 And with sneakers you can, so to speak, wrap your feet around the logs you nave to walk in crossing brooks and marshy spots, and there's nothing like them for climbing and walking hills, and so sneakers are the things for comfort and safety. Of course this
