slash Revenue Bill.

The Senate has slashed 100000
from the revenue bill prepared by Sen
ator Ashcroft. The tax on litigation
under the present law produces about
5000 900 a year or 100000 biennially.
Owing to increased appropriations and
increase In pensions 1t was found nee
essary to make up the balance by
doubling the tax on litigation and
thereby raising It 100000. The SEN
ate in reducing the tax to the original
figure left a deficit which at present
there is no way to make up.

A Human Life Net.

There is some soul of goodness In

TIL 1t out" How much evil marked
the daily lives of the actors in the fol
lowing episode is a matter Of conjec-
ture. but they were, says New York
newspaper, denizens of what is called
the underworld"
A lodging house in one of the crowd
ed tenement districts in New York
caught fire. The lives of the inmates
were endangered, and seven Of them,
all women, were cut off by the flames.
They rushed to the windows and
shrieked for help.
Then, to quote the newspaper &c.
count, "a crowd Of Park row, human
hotsam and jetsam and boys of the
neighborhood punched themselves to-
gether to break the force of the wo.
mems fall and called to them to jump.
The jump was more than thirty feet,
but all the women made 1t safely.
"Only one of them needed attention,
but some of the men walked away
with heads cut by flying heels and
backs strained by the shock of the
falling bodies. When the reporter
spoke to them most of those who made
up this human life net said grufly that
they had no names. When they were
asked where they lived they would
only say, oh. round here"

Ru9sia's lmnleno.ty.

The Russian empire Is as compact as
the British empire is scattered. It is
one great mass with no parts, except
possibly a few islands along the coast,
separated from the main body. There
are no distant possessions, no oversee
territory, and the car claims no dOmin-
ion over any land not in the northern
hemisphere.
Its area is what astonishes. 1t is
larger than all of North America from
the canal north and with the islands
Of the Caribbean thrown in. One-sixth
Of the land area Of the globe is under
the cars flag and within its boun-
aries Is n population greater than that
Of Great Britain, Germany and France
combined And this population Of be-
tween 1G0OOO,OOO and 100000 Is
increasing at the rate Of 100000 a
year by birth The population OF the
empire has doubled in forty years.
OF the many strange things about
Russia perhaps the strangest Is that
this immense empire has no salt water
port which does not freeze up in the
winter. No big nation in the world
Is so circumscribed in this respect

Whv You Wink.

The unconscious act Of winklng
bears a quite important relation TO the
welfare Of the eye. This being the
most delicate and sensitive organ of
the body exposed to the air, it is in
constant need Of the protection given
by the eycids, which not only close
quickly at the approach Of danger, but
are employed in washing the surface
OF the eye Moistening is required to
Offset the drying effect Of the air and
cleaning to prevent the injurious effect
Of dirt. Every time you wink the eye
Is washed. Inside the eye is the little
tear gland, which, as its name implies,
is busy storing up the supply OF tears.
This gland keeps the inside Of the lid
moist, and you wink automatically
whenever the surface Of the eye be
comes dry or Il particle Of dust or any
thing else strikes II. This work is
done as often as necessary, and to
realize how often 1t is necessary try
how long you can keep your eyes open
without winking.
