Made Point for Defense.

OF Sir Thomas Egerton, who was
gifted with quick perception, this story
is told: A poor woman had been in
trusted with the care OF large. sum
of money by three farmers, who told
her to keep it safely until they ap-
peared together to claim it. Shortly
afterWard one Of them went to her
and, representing that he came at the
direction of the other two, he received
the money and forthwith disappeared.
The other two brought action to re-
cover the whole deposit Egerton hap
pened to be in court during the trial,
in which an intimate friend defended
the woman. Seeing that the case was
going against his friend, Egerton vol
unteered to speak as amicus curiae.
Permission was granted Emphasiz-
ing the condition on which the money
was left in the Woman's care. Eyer
ton said: 1T is clear that the plain
tiffs cannot recover, because it is to
the three appearing together that the
defendant agreed to deliver the money.
Where is the third? Let him be pro-
duced' Thus Egerton saved the day
for his friend.

SUGAR REVENUE LARGE.
Produced Practically One-Quarter of
Total Tariff Receipts Last Year.

Produced Practically One-Quarter of
| Total Tariff Receipts Last Year.
The important part that sugar plays
in meeting the necessaas expenses of
the nation is strikingly shown in the
report Of the department of COM
merce covering the foreign commerce
of the United States for the fiscal
year ending June 80 last Of the
gross income Of S209, 100000 collect
ed in customs duties during this pc
Rod, approximately 25 per cent, or
nearly S52,000,00O, was contributed
by sugar import duties. Not only did
this product for the first time in his
tory provide almost one-quarter of
the entire sum collected IN duties,
but it also maintained in face of a
25 per cent reduction in import duty
practically the same income pro-
ducing volume it had realized prior
to the passage Of the Underwood bill
under which the reduction was au-
thorized
While sugar continued to turn in
to the federal treasury over $50,O00,-
900 during the past year, imports Of
other dutiable merchandise during
this period fell off nearly $126,OO0,-
600 in valuation. This slump result
ed in a decrease of $84, 100000 in
tariff receipts for the year as com
pared with the twelve months pre-
ceding. Had the rate Of duty on su-
gar prevailing before 1914 continued
IN effect, the returns from sugar i'm
portations alone would have added
about $18,O0O,000 to the income of
the government, and would have re-
duced by one-half the treasury deficit
of S36,00O,00O.
During the past twenty years the
tariff on sugar has brought into the
federal treasury over billion dol
lars. comparison of the fourteen
schedules under which all imported
articles are grouped shows that in the
last five years concerning which fig
ures are available from the statistical
abstract of the United States, sched-
ule Il, (the sugar SCHEDULED, leads
by many millions of dollars in the
annual tariff revenue yield obtained
from each group. Its nearest income
producing competitor has been sched-
ule u, under which are grouped the
products from fax, jute, hemp and
manufactures of the same, which,
however, falls $11 100000 behind the
average of sugar for the five years.
Had the free sugar proviso been
operative during the past year the
treasury deficit by Sept would have
approximated $90,000,O00. AS the
necessity of meeting continuing large
governmental expenses will have to
be faced in 1916, the loss Of this
annual $50,0oO,O0o from sugar duty
sources will add seriously to the bur-
den OF the government in providing
further adequate revenues and elm
mating the present deficit. No other
single imported product or group of
products appears to be easily able to |
make up this heavy deficiency.

QUEER USE OF GRAMoPHoNE
That instrument IS Not Designed
Merely for Amusement Has
Been Proved.

The gramophone is sometimes put
to strange uses. The leader of an At
rioan hunting expedition, who set out
on a motor trip from the Cape to Cairo,
recently used it as a decoy for tigers
and hippopotami. IN tiger hunting 1t
Is usual to tether a lamb TO a tree;
it's bleatings attract the tiger within
reach of the hunters. Before leaF-
ing England the explorer had some
records made by beating lambs, and,
says writer III Answers, he tried
them on the unsuspecting tigers Of the
African jungle with considerable sue
cess.
The record makers gained one Of
their greatest triunphs when they sue
ceeded i'll getting good nightingale
and blaekbird records. The chief diff
ficulty was the objection that the
birds had to the sounds of the re-
cording machine. The clever men got
round that by setting up a dummy
recording machine in the horn Of
which they put some of the birds ia
vorite food.
When a bird entered the horn to
get the food the cloekWork was set
In motion. The little creatures soon
grew accustomed to the sound, and
SO, after much tedious and discour-
aging labor, successful records were
made. These records are selling in
thousands all over the world.
The gramophone is also Of service
in more serious and more scientific
undertakings. Records of all dialects
and languages spoken in Great Britain
have been made and preserved III the
British museum for the benefit OF
posterity. The people of the thir-
tieth century will know by the help
Of these records just how Manx and
Gaelic sounded, and how the coclSney
lingo differs from braid Scots. Sew
era1 of the universities also have col
lections of the same Youths
Companion.
