Receipts and Expenditures.

In January the government spent over six millions more than 1t received. The excess of expenditures over re- ceipts in the nrst seven months of the fiscal year was just about twenty-eight millions. But the tide has turned. In the present month receipts are exceed ing expenditures, and it is believed there will be balance on the right side, this month, of nearly five million dollars.
 Secretary Shaw estimated the years deficiency at eighteen millions, and it now looks as if his guess would prove good, for only April is month of heavy outlay. leaving February, March, May and June to pull down the de- ficiency.
 The countr..- is prosperous. and i'm ports are increasin,.. More luxuries are coming in as the natural result of a high degree of prosperity. The bill llon-dollar line will be readily passed this year by imports, and this means more income for the government.
 At the end of the last fiscal year the deficiency stood at forty-two million dollars. That deficiency will be cut down one-half. and possibly Secretary Shaws estimate will be made good

JUNGLE JOE" AND AUTOMOBILES,

Washington Telegram to the Baltimore
 American
 Speaker Cannon's married daughter the other day remarked to her father that now he seemed so pleased at the auto mobile runabout that he ought to buy one for himself.
 My dear" said Uncle Joe, 'I think your husband is rich enough to buy you an automobile if you desire one, and will let him carry out your wish.''
 NO doubt" she replied. But that is not what I want. I want you to buy machine, so we can all use It."
 That woud be very nice, replied Uncle Joe, but I think you will wait a long time before I will do it. I expect to retain my senses until I am le0 years old, and if you will wait till reach that age maybe my intellect will be so feeble that l will consent to buy one of those internal machines"

 The Kansas City Star, a conserva- tive paper, says the disaster of one man control is inevitable unless 'the American people shall decide to have voice and a hand in the control Of the country's supply of human sus- tenance." The problem is grave one, but it is one easy of solution as soon as the requisite courage and skill are seated in authority in Washington.

WASHINGTON,

Minna Irving in Leslie's Weekly. He stands alone on Freedoms height
 Where few have dared to climb, The laurels on his lofty brow
 Untouched by Father Time The microscope of history finds
 No flaw upon his fame, And tens of millions yet unborn
 Will reverence his name. With many statesman wise and good
 Columbia has been blest, And many a hero brave and true
 Is nurtured at her breast, But unapproached In glory towers
 The south's immortal son; The world. alas. will nevsr know
 Another Washington.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Half the time girl gets engaged ta be ahead of some other girl
 A man could make lot of money by not investing it in sure things.
 When a man is not afraid of his wife it is sign he is not telling the truth.
 A man would fight like anything against staying out late at night if his wife tried to make him.
 The first time girl wears a low-necs dress she feels like a man who goes swimming and has his clothes stolen.

While the Birmingham district is dis- cussing the mine disaster at Virginia City and the horrors that assail men en- tombed beneath the earth, it is interest," ing to note that negroes are less affect ed by mental terrors, after a certain point has been reached. than are white men. For instance, a negro will appar- ently be frightened into a fit by a bogus ghost, but shut him up face to face with death for hours or days and the white man will become raving maniac first in a majority of cases. Disasters are on record where negroes have been shut up in mines for several days under the most fearful circumstances to em- erge laughing, while white man would have probably gone mad. This may be accounted for by the fact that negroes have little imagination; they are incap- able of magnifying their danger as are white men of more active minds. Just as a person of highly sensitive tempera- ment will lose his mental balance under stress of terror quicker than a stupid lout, so will a white laborer's mind give way before that of a negro laborer,
 since the white mans mind is naturally more active and is usually better trained.

 While there is so much discussion of the best way to repair debilitated stom- achs the following plan might prove feas- ible: Choose one desert island in the south sea or some other equally lonely neigh borhood; maroon patient there with a years supply of the food he ought to eat and let him stay there and recuperate until he Is well. The main trouble about getting rid of stomach ills is that people won't control their appetities and per sist in habits of eating and drinking that are harmful. Now, if a fellow were on an island by himself. and had nothing to eat but special diet, there would be no danger of his abusing his stomach or starving to death either. If MT. Rocke> feller cares to act on this suggestion he might mail his check for a million to this office and no questions Will be asked.
