Elgfltiy IN excess Of the year previous.

taxes were received, such as has been tho case in
many OF the previous years. The only year when
greater revenue realized from this source
was that Of two years before. when $o42S.O62 was

A Monster Mu.lcal In.trum.n,.

The most gigantic harp ever con.
structed, as far as the record goes
was that made by veritan, the provost
of Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland. in
1857. That was long while ago, but
the fame of NJ. verltan's gigantic harp
was such that 1t is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastodons, etc, are.
NJ. Veritan's colossal musical instru.
ment was 800 feet In length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an
open lot instead of in harp factory.
1t was most simple In construction.
consisting Of fifteen wires strung tight
ly between two poles. These wires
We're Of different sizes, the largest be-
Ing one-slxth of an inch in diameter
and the smallest one-twelfth of an
inch. They were stretched north and
south and inclined in such manner
as to form an angle of from twenty
to thirty degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was construct
ed for the express purpose of foreteil-
ing changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Professor veritan ac-
cording to the different tones the in
strument made when the wind was
blowing through it.

our "1ndi.n Accent.

Every little while some English
writer appears with the theory that
the physique of Americans is becom-
ing assimilated to that OF the abor-
.igines. 1t is a phllologlst, Enid Camp
bell Dawncey. who now uses this the
DRY to account for the pecullarities of
American speech as due to particu-
lar formation of the palate, peculiar
originally to the American Indians,
but now shared by the invaders"
That this is nonsense appears from the
fact that Americans taken in childhood
to England speak with an English ac-
cent. There can be no question as to
the marked divergence of English and
American speech, particularly in the
matter of information. American speech
is much more monotonous and less
spontaneous, the regular fall of the
voice at the close of sentences being
perhaps bookIsh rather than conyersa-
tional. Thus American speech, among
the cultivated, is apt to be simple, even
and logical, like page Of print, while
English speech is much more varied
and expressive in its cadences.-

Banker Schiff, of Wall street, accuses
one of the banks there of conspiracy
to advance the interest rates on money
by calling loans in the morning and
thus causing stringency and then
loaning again In the afternoon when
the rates for money have advanced. 1t
certainly must be an Abnormal. condi-
ton that would cause loans to be made
in the morning at 6 per. cent and then
bid up to 80 per cent n few hours after.
Secretary Shaw should have at once
ordered an investigation and Withdraw
the public money from any bank found
guilty of such underhand proceedings.
But these frenzied financiers seem to
be more cared fer by this Republican
administration than the legitimate busl-
ness men who suffer by this unnatural

Canal Complications.

The letting of the contracts for the
Panama canal has been again post
poned until Jan. -, for it has been
discovered that no contractors would
bid under the conditions imposed. 1t
has also been figured out that of the
$145, 100000 appropriated by Congress
for the work only $71.0O0,0OO remains
unexpended, and as the cost will be
three or four times that amount. it will
require another appropriation by Con-
gress before the contracts can be let.

The scenes he had known as a boy;
"Oh, for a draught Of those fountains

On the hills he sought his youthful

In the woods to forget his pains.
