TOO CARELESS OF HEALTH
Men Wiser Than Women in the Mat
ter of Proper Food and Neces-
sary Relaxation.

One of the mistakes of women is not
knowing how to eat. If a man is not to
be fed when she is, she thinks a cup OF
tea and anything handy is good enough.
If she needs to i've money, she does it
at the butchers cost. If she is busy, she
will not waste time in eating. If she is
unhappy, she goes without food. A man
eats if the sheriff is at the door, if his
work drives, if the undertaken inter-
rupts; and he is right. A woman will
chose icecream instead of beefsteak, and
a man will not, says the Buffalo Times.
Another of her mistakes is in not
knowing when to rest. If she is tired,
she may sit down, but she will darn
stockings, crochet shawls, embroider
ioilies. Does she not know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted, she will
write letters or figure her accounts. She
will laugh at you ifyou limited that read
ing or writing could fail to rest her. All
over the country women's hospitals
flourish because women do not know
now to rest.
Another mistake on the list is their
constant worrying. Worry and hurry
are their enemies, and yet they hug them
to their bosoms. Women cross bridges
before they come to them, and even build
bridges to ross. They imagine misfo--
tune and run out to meet it.
Women are not jolly enough. They
make too serious business of life, and
laugh at it's little humors too seldom
Men can stop in the midst of perpleXities
and have a hearty laugh, and it keeps
them young. Women cannot, and that is
one reason why they fade S % early
there are other reasons, but we will pass
them now. Worry not only wrinkles the
face, but it wrinkles and withers the
mind. Have a hearty laugh once in
while; it is a good antiseptic, and viii
purify the mental atmosphere, drive
away evil imaginings, bad temper and
other ills.

But love laughs at good intentions,

other things, and Beccy's sweet little
lectures and ner bright ayes were too
enhancing to get away from easily.
Besides Beccy promised that If he
would but wait until morning she

OUR INCREASING DEFICIT.
Nation Rapidly Approaching a Point
Where Revenues Will Be
Increased.

Taken in connection with the evident
Discrimination of congress to indulge in
any marked degree Of the economy
about which so much was heard earlier
in the session, the constantly increasing
deficiency becomes a subject for serious
consideration, says the Detroit Free
Press. With receipts Of S43, 410,2 S5 for
January, the treasury department re-
ports the expenditures for that period
to have been $40, 62S, 299, leaving a deficit
of $6,21S, OLA. This swells the difference
between disbursements and receipts for
the seven months of the current fiscal
year to $2S,597, 606, despite the fact that
during the same period the total receipts
exceeded those for the corresponding
months of the previous year by s 1884,
295. The growing deficiency is due to
constantly increasing expenditures and
not to a falling off in revenue, the latter
showing no material diminution during
the seven months in question, despite
the startling discrepancy between re-
ceipts and disbursements.
Three branches of the government
were responsible for practically the en-
tire increase, civil and miscellaneous
expenses exceeding those of last year by
5000, 900; the war department by
SO, 900, 900, and the navy department by
$13, 900 900. The unfavorable showing
made during the first half of the fiscal
year becomes more apparent when it is
considered that IL months ago the re-
ceipts of the government exceeded the
disbursements by nearly $4,000, 900,
while for the seven months just closed
there is an excess Of disbursements of
more than $2S, 900, 900. Whether this
showing will awaken in congress a reali-
cation of the need of greater economy is
a question that time alone will deter
mine. 1t is apparent, however, that the
nation is rapidly approaching a point
where there must come a curtailing of
expenditures or an increase in revenues
If the available cash balance in the treas
ury is. to be maintained at the generally
prescribed line Of safety, below which 1t
has already fallen nearly S. OO. 900.

shoulders and for a short distance down
the back and front, from the middle of
the shoulder, while in the back it shows
in a deep curve. This is trimmed down
the middle by arow of small velvet bows.
A narrow band of velvet run around the
collar and a twist of velvet, with a bow
at the back, confines the sleeves below
the elbow. The sleeve is full and has an
embroidered rufie inside one of taffeta
rosette of loops in front of the elbow
band.
One can see how smart this model
would be in wool, trimmed with braid or
velvet; in silk, trimmed with taffeta or
velvet, and with either embroidery or
lace as an accessory in the yoke and
sleeves or in chiffon, or gauze, or crepe
de chine, made up with taffeta. The
cut requires taffeta in a soft material,
as trimming and under slip and inner
sleeve puff. If a tight lower sleeve is
desired, the smart way would be to have
one of the yoke material with loops and
| rosettes of velvet on the back; or of tai
feta, similarly trimmed, with a little vel
| vet cuff at the bottom. In a lowered and
brocaded stuffs there should not be any
trimming upon the skirt, unless an apron

Under Martin Roherback's tattered
blouse there beat a sturdy, patriotic
heart that knew no: the meaning of
fear, and had known not the meaning
of love until the Continental army
marched into Philadelphia in the fall
of 1877. 1t was in Philadelphia that
Martin met Beccy Sharp, a demure lit
tie Quaker lass. who returned Martins
ardent New Amsterdam affection, even
though she could not bring herself to
approve fully of the uniform he wore
when that uniform meant the she'd
ding of mems blood.
So long as Lord Howe left the Con-
tinental troops in possession of Phila-
delphia Martin cared not whether the
wal waged elsewhere or not. So long
as he was free to go and come between
Beccy's house and tie camp he was
entirely satisfied win his lot, nor did
he mind the little lectures he received
from her on the evils of war and the
virtues of brotherly love. He was con-
tent to be a soldier under such coudi-
tons, even though his being n
served no better purpose than the CIV
ing of Beccy something to lecture him
! about, Tor it was a great pleasure to
hear Beccy talk.
But Lord Howe was not content that
the Continental army should enjoy the
comforts OF city life. Philadelphia Of
fered opportunities as a winter resort
which he coveted. and Washingtcn's
tattered army not being strong enough
to successfully resist, they were forced
to march away to the desolate camp
beside the |Schuylki!i at Valley Forge.
Deep down in his heart Martin re-
belled at such a actessity, but there
was nothing to do but go, and go he
did. At any rate, thought he, it is not
so bad for Valley Forge is but IA miles
from Philadelphia, and that is not
much of a walk. He did not remem-
Der the double line OF sentries between
himself and Beccy, or if he did he
snapped his fingers al them.
A week after camp vas made at Val
ley Forge Martin asked permission to
visit Philadelphia, ard was promptly
refused.
ITO be gobbled up by the British,
chi" cried his captain. No, they have
enough of Jul soldiers now, and you
will stay here"
Protestations of his ability to go
back and forth through the British
lines without being detected were of
no avail, and he stayed, but only to
ask again the second week. Again he
was refused, but week after week the
request was repeated.
In February there came a messenger
from Philadelphia into the camp, and
he brought with him & dainty feminine
note for Martin. 1t said many things,
to be sure, but it said more pointedly
than anything else that Martin should
find a way to see Beccy Sharp if he
still loved her, and that Marin pro.
posed to do with or without permits.
sion. as might be necessary. At the
first favorable opportunity he repeated
his request for permission to visit
Philadelphia, promising in return in
formation as to the enemy stationed
there.
"And be hung for q spy" said the
captain. mo, here You are and here
you will stay. The general needs no
information about Lord Howe and his
roysterers in Philadelphia that you
could get"
But Beccy's little note tucked safely
away in the pocket CT his blouse kept
his heart in a tumult. Fighting fol-

PROTOCOL Is IMPERIALISM.
President Rooseve1t's Treatment of
San Domingo Is Thus Char
acterized.

In a leading editorial article on the re-
lations existing between this govern
ment and Santo Domingo, the %Indianap-
oils News, owned in fact by Senator
Fairbanks, and his personal organ,
states the New York Sun, takes Presi-
dent Roosevelt to task for taking action
without the approval of the senate. The
News refers to a story from Washington
to the effect that a new deal is on" and
then says:
Under the original protocol we are
to take charge of the custom houses,
appoint the employees in them, collect
the revenue and retain SIS per cent. of it,
to be applied on the islands debts, adjust
those debts as best we can, guarantee the
sovereignty of the island, preserve Or
der, restore credit, increase the efficien-
cy Of the civil administration and adj
vance the material progress and the
welfare of the republic.
"All this was to have been done with
out the consent of the senate, for the ar
rangement was to have gone into effect
DCIOlC Inc SCLatC Coulu possibly ldFS
acted on it, and there is reason to believe
that it has already gone into effect,
There can be no doubt that the presi-
dent did start in to carry these things
through without the cooperation of the
senate. Apparently he thought that by
the use Of the word protocol it would
be possible to get around the constitu-
tional provisional indeed this pro-
vision occurred to him at all-requiring
the consent of the senate to treaties.
"At any rate, the agreement was
drawn up and signed, and the time for its
going into effect has gone by. The full
| agreement was first made public by the
| Dominican authorities. And now that it
is made public, we see that it is a treaty
in everything but name And the Do
minican government declares that it
vent into effect on last Wednesday.
IF this performance is allowed to pass
unchallenged, it will be exceedingly diff
cult to put any limit to the presidents
power. We doubt whether many more
important agreements have been signed
in the lame of this government, for un-
der it we bind ourselves to administer
the affairs of a foreign government, to
control its action, to a protec-
torate over it, to maintain peace, order
and good government, and to adjust its
debts, and this is, or was, to be done on
the authority of the president alone.
IF this is not imperialism, we do not
know what to call it. The situation will
be bad enough even If it be found that
the new protocol, of which we are now
Informed, is unobjectionable.
"We are not surprised, therefore, that
the Sun should ask whether our govern
ment is at this time doing all of those
things which by the action of the presi-
dent it bound itself to do, and this in ad-
vance Of the completion of the contract
in treaty form by the senate, according
to the plain provisions of the second
clause of the second section of the second
article Of the United States constitu-
tion."
