It is estimated that the Congress which expired by limitation last Saturday at noon appropriated about $1,600,000,000 for govern mental expenditures. This is an in crease of about $600,000,000 over the largest aggregate of appropriations ever made by a previous Congress. There is a deficit in sight of SIBO, 000,000, according to Senator Gor man, for the present fiscal year alone, and the Secretary of the Treasury, it is reported, is already preparing to make a new bond issue. None of the congressional financers seems to know the extent of the obligation we have already assumed, for the bookkeepers of the govern ment are at sea. We are merely plunging blindly along the path of glory, regardless of expense. The Democratic opposition to the ir crease of the standing army was grounded in wise considerations. The Democrats in Congress have done everything necessary to carry on the war since it was undertaken, and they have shown no disposition to curtail the forces in the field. They have been willing to maintain an army, however large, cn a temporary basis and to send forward as many volunteers as may be required to support the flag, but they have objected to the creation of a great standing army with a myriad of offi cere enjoying a life tenure. Their position has been so strictly in accord with the traditional policy of the government that the people are sure to endorse them, for they have merely sought to cut down the per manent charge upon the tax payers. The national debt, in the thirty three years after our civil war, had been reduced more than one-ha’f, and had it not been for the war pensions would have been entirely extinguished by this time. Every month in the latter years had wit nessed some reduction. Now it is going back to the old and oppressive figures. Each wound received by a soldier in the field means an addition to the pension list, and our war charge to day is about $369,000,000 a year, put ting us in the category of the nations expending the most for war pur poses. Mrs. J. Silvers, Doogan, Ga., writes: Revr Hr C. Har’ *»k had Torpid L' bad he could scarcely leave his room, and was cured by Dr. M. A.

An eastern king was once in need of a faithful servant and friend. He gave notice that he wanted a man to do a day’s work, and two men came and asked to be employed. He engaged them both for certain fixed wages, and set them to work to fill a basket with water from a neighboring well, saying that he would come in the evening and see their work. He then left them to themselves and went away After putting in one or two bucketfuls, one of the men said: “What is the good of doing this useless work? As soon as you put the water in on one side it runs out on the other.” The other man answered: “But we have our day’s wages, haven’t we? The use of the work is the master’s business, not ours.” “I am not going to do such fool’s work,” replied the other; and throw ing down his bucket he went away. The other man continued his work till about sunset, when he had exhausted the well. Looking down into it he saw something shining in the bottom; he let down his bucket once more and drew up a precious diamond ring. “Now I see the use of pouring water into a basket,” he exclaimed to himself. If the bucket had brought up the ring before the well was dry it would have been found in the bas ket. The labor was not useless, after all.” But he had yet to learn why the king had ordered this apparantly use less task. It was to test his capacity for perfect obedience, without which no servant is reliable. At this moment the king came up to him, and as he bade the man to keep the ring, he said: “Thou has been faithful in a little thing, now I can trust ihee in great things. Henceforth thou shalt stand at my right hand.” Constipation of the bowels may be eas ily cured by a few doses of Dr. M, A. Simmons Liver Medicine. Capt. John H. Surratt, whose mother was hanged for the murder of President Lincoln, is a trusted em ployee of a Baltimore steamship line, though still out on a $52,000 bail as the result of a jury’s disagreement in bis own trial which lasted 104 days in 1867.

There is fallacy—confined, though, to the masculine half of society—and that is that women dress for men. Os course all women know better than that and laugh at it in their sleeves as the most ridiculous of ideas. Most of them would like, though, to let men go on thinking so, but I don’t care, so I’m going to tell, says a woman m the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. I think any creature who belongs to such a stupid sex ought not to be allowed—if there is any way of enlightening him—to go on thinking that any woman would throw away time and material to dress for him. Let me tell you, please, what I heard once. It was this: A woman of my acqaintance was clothed in a most beautiful din ner suit, which had cost hundreds of dollars. She wore it for the first time with an air of a queen—ah, me, who couldn’t have worn it so?—and looked as if she had just stepped down out of the latest Parisian fash ion sheet. A man looked at her—a man who had reached an age when he ought to have discretion and who was still not in bis dotage—looked at her and said- “That’s your last winter’s suit, is it not?” I don’t think I need to tell you more, but 1 will. Another human adult of the same sex told me once that my gown was very beautiful. It was a ten-cent lawn that I mjself had made. So, of course, all women save up their best clothes for people who can appreciate them, and those people are not men. Led by a Little Child. In one of Philadelphia’s hospitals is a curly-haired, pink-cheeked, little five-year-old boy, blind in both eyes, maimed and a cripple for life, and yet he is the joy of the hospital, and the light of the wards, and has been the direct cause of a dying man’s convert-ion. The patients call him •‘Little Sunshine.” Every morning he is led through the wards and the private rooms by one of the nurses, and the patients coddle their pet and kiss him. In room 10 there is a coal heaver, a big, brawny fellow, dying of an incurable disease, and “Sunshine’s” crystal-like purity and innocence so y-qgal to him that the man’s heart He was reminded of his early childhood days, when at bis mother’s knees he lisped “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” Four days ago the dying coal heaver asked to see a clergyman, and the pastor of a nearby Methodist church was sent for. The good man told of the sacri fice and sufferings of the Savior, and in the barren room of the hospital, between the day and the dark, the man found peace. “Sunshine’s” chubby little fist— the uninjured one—was buried deep in the great knotted palms of the dying man. He lay still, with the light of tbe new-found peace upon his face. “Dear God,” he murmured, as the great tears chased one another down bis cheeks and lost themselves in the snowy linen: “Dear God, little ‘Sunshine’ done it. The parson said as how a little kid could lead a fellow, and ‘Sunshine’ done it.” There was a moment of silence ; then “Little Sunshine” gently with drew his hands from those of the dying man, and whispered to the nurse: “Tan he see Dod? Wiss I tould.” Monkeys as Coin Testers. It is said that the great apes of Siam are in request among the Siam ese merchants as cashiers in their counting houses. Vast quantities of base coins are known to be in cir culation in Siam, and, according to advices from that scorched-up little oriential kingdom, no living human can discriminate between the good and the bad coinage with as much accuracy as these apes. These mon key cavhieis possess tbe faculty of distinguishing the rude Siamese counterfeits in such an extraordinary degree that no trained banker can compete with them in their unique avocation. In plying his tiade the ape cashier meditatively puts each coin presented to him in his mouth and tests it with grave deliberation. From two to five seconds is ail the time this intelligent animai requires in making up his decision. If the coin is all right it is carefully deposited in the proper receptable; if base it is thrown violently to the floor, while the coin tester makes known his displeasure at being pre sented with the counterfeit by giving vent to much angry chattering. It is whispered now that Judge J. J. Kimsey of Cleveland, will be before the people of the Ninth Dis trict for Congress at the election. Os course Hon. F. C. Tate will be a can didate for re-election, but Judge Kimsey will make it interesting to him and may destroy Carter’s here tofore strong political fence.—Dah lonega Nugget. Per Annum inAdvance* Two Wonderful People. There was a man who never told a lie — But he’s dead; Never said it was wet when the weather was dry— Never said He’d caught fish when he hadn’t caught one; Never said he’d done something that he hadn’t done, Never scolded his wife, and never got mad, And wouldn't believe that the world was so bad; A respector of men, a defender of wo man, Who believed in the divine, and in that which was human; Meek as Moses—he never was under stood— And the good man died of being too good. And he’s dead. There was a woman who never had gos siped a bit — She’s dead, too; Who hated all scandal, nor listened to it; She believed in mankind, took care of her cat, And always turned a deaf ear to this story or that; Never scolded her busband—she never had one; No sluggard was she, but rose with the sun; Never whispered in meeting, didn’t care for a bonnet, Or all of the feathers that one could put on it; Never sat with the choir, nor sang the wrong note; Expressed no desire to lecture or vote— For the poor soul was deaf as a post— also dumb; You might have called forever and she wouldn’t have come. And she’s dead. The Alabaster Boxes. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Speak approving, cheering words while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they are going say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coflins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends who have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant per fumes of affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my wearyand troubled hours and open them that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, a funeral without an eulogy, than life without the sweetness and love of sympathy. Let us learn to aunoint our friends beforehand for the burial. Post mor ten kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coflin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way.—lngersoll. “Bill Arp’s” Golden Wedding. The golden nupitals of Major Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) and wife celebrated at their home, “The Shadows” at Cartersville, Ga., Tues day evening was an event long to be remembered in that little city. In many respects it was a remarkable occasion. It was a fitting oppor tunity for the people of Cartersville to manifest their appreciation of and affectionate regard for their dis tinguished citizen, wife and family. The attendance of many friends from abroad and the hundreds of expressions of love and good wishes reaching them by post fur nish evidence of how widely they are known and the estimation in which they are held in the public eye. The presents were numerous and from many quarters, and not a few quaint in conceit. One was a pic ture of John Anderson and wife, another a golden wedding ring, another a pair of yellow socks with blue toes, the last pair knit by an old lady in North Carolina who had knit 1,000 pairs for the soldiers. It is reported that Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of New York has arranged to light St Paul’s cathedral, in Lon don, with electricity, at a cost of $25,000. St. Paul’s is one of the most venerated ecclesiastical mon uments in England. That an Amer ican should be permitted to lay hands upon it, and furnish it with modern appliances at his own ex pense, may seem a little strange; but it must be remembered that we are living in an exceptional era of cous inly affection and “hands across the sea.” Deputy Collector John Ware made a raid on the moonshiners near Carl Tuesday night. He cut up a big still and destroyed 2,500 gallons of beer. R. L. Pierce, R. L Vandiver and Tom Adams were arrested, but owing to the extreme cold night, Mr. Ware released them on their own recognizance. This was a humane act on the part of Capt. Ware, and is fully appreciated by the aforesaid parties.—Lawrenceville News. Cocoanut shells make excellent fuel. The enoimous amount of oil they contain causes them to take fire at once. Many hotel keepers in England recognize the fact and buy large quantities of them to mix with coal as fire lighters. NUMBER 11. DICKENS AND FROEBEL. What the Novelist Did For Chllfll hood—Hi* Work For Educatfou. Froebel and Dickens, it is claimed, are the best interpreters of Christ’s. ideals of childhood. The philosophy of Froebel and the stories of Dickens are in perfect harmony. The two great re formers protested vigorously against the interference of intermeddling adults with the full development of the indi viduality of the child. They recognized the divinity in each child so fully that they objected to all “stamping and molding’’ processes by which its self hood was dwarfed or warped. Other ed ucators and reformers had considered the problems of human evolution from the standpoint of tho adult and had asked. “What can we do to fit the child for its work?” Froebel and Dickens asked. “How can we help the child to grow by its own self activity?” They were the great apostles of childhood. They began the struggle for the free dom of childhood from the restrictive interference of adulthood. Dickens is commonly regarded merely as an educational critic. This is a nar row and unfair view. He was a great critic. He aroused the indignation of the civilized world against those who treated childhood inhumanly, and the hatred of adult tyranny which he awak ened developed a loving sympathy for children. But he could not have so clearly exposed the wrong in education without having a definite conception of the right. He was the greatest destruc tive educational critic, but he was also a most advanced, positive, constructive educator. There is no great ideal of the “new education” which is not revealed by Dickens in his novels or his miscel laneous writings. Dickens was the first Englishman of note to advocate the kindergarten. In July, 1855, ho published an article of 11 columns in Household Words, which would take a leading place if compared, with the papers read at a meeting of the International Kindergarten union today. —James L. Hughes in Century. A DINNER COSTING SIO,OOO. The Repast Was the Flrat of Expeui alve Entertainments lu New York. Writing of the lavish expenditures of New Yorkers, Eurttta Van Vorst re calls in The Ladies’ Home Journal a dinner given in 1884 by a man of wealth which cost SIO,OOO and which astonished his most extravagant asso ciates as it was the most expensive feast given up to that time. 1 “Delmonico, the helpful resource of both those who know and those who do not know how to spend their money, was at a loss to know how to dispose of this then fabulous amount upon a single meal. There were 72 guests, ai*> they were entertained in the large ballroom which in Dehnonico’s Fourteenth street establishment saw so many social tri umphs. The house had been Mr. Mo.ies Grinnell's and ever bore the imprint of a gentleman’s residence even when transformed into a public place of en tertainment. “The table occupied the whole length and breadth of the room. The waiters had barely space to move about it. It was a long, oval table, round which a massive wreath of exquisite flowers was laid, guarding a miniature lake 30 feet long. The water, by mechanical con trivance, undulated gently, and on its breast floated four living swans, a gold en network keeping them in place.” Wax Battleships. Comparatively few know that by the English admiralty’s orders perfect mod els are made in paraffin wax of every new battleship before it is laid down, and these models are tested in a tank at Haslar. The models are from 12 feet to 24 feet long, and the tank is 400 feet long and 20 feet wide. The models are made of wax, because it is a material which does not absorb water or change its weight, so alterations can be easily made; also the material can be melted up and used again. Our naval authorities also have mod els of all their hulls constructed, but these are much more elaborate, being formed of white pine and fitted with rudders, false keels, propeller shafts and all other necessary parts. —New York World. Then and Now. “Do yon see that old man out there? Thirty-two years ago that old man came to Columbus with one suspender and a sore toe. He also had a basket of apples which a farmer outside of the city had given him. He peddled the ap ples on High street and netted 18 cents the first day. How much do you sup pose he’s worth now?” “Oh, $1,500,000!” said one. “Two millions!” cried another. “Six million, three hundred thou sand!” was the estimate of a third. “I give it up,” remarked the fourth listener. “Not a single cent, and he still owes for the basket.”—Ohio State Journal. An Effective Retort. The late Rev. Patrick Watson, vicar of Earlsfield, a great authority on the Holy Land, was a stickler for accuracy. An amusing passage of arms once took place between him and the archbishop of Canterbury. A committee report was under consideration, and Mr. Wat son objected to the heading “Removal of Premises” on the ground that the things inside the premises were removed and not the building. Dr. Temple replied, “I suspect you often tell your wfe the kettle boils, but it doesn’t. ” The meeting roared with laughter and passed on to the next business.— London News. Still In Ponxexxion, “Why do you think they are on their wedding journey?” “Didn’t you notice that he had tho |ccketbook when they bought those nanges from the trainboy?”—Chicago Wews. The attractions of a certain palace of pleasure in Greenville, Miss., are casually referred to in a recent issue of the Delta Light House as follows: “Ira Scott has attached to his beau tiful billiard hall a lunch counter and telephone. When a tnan is not there he is not in town.” ♦ I Corncob pipes are made by the car load in Missouri and sell for 2»c. to 28c. a bushel. The industry is also an important one in Indiana and one factory at Brightwood turns out between 4,000 and 5,0U0 a day.
