Contrary to expectations, and to the great disappointment of European financiers, this year has been an ex- ception. There have been practical- ly no shipments of gold. The gold reserve has steadily increased until it has almost reached the $144,000,000 mark. There is great encourage- ment in the outloo!

It also renders necessary the erection of more and costlier public buildings throughout the coun- try and theincrease in river and harbor improvements, naval struction, coast defense, ordnaave, etc., ete. Growing cities all over the country require an increase in their postal facilities, while the gen- eral development aud improvement of our postal system, which the peo- ple demand, adds anauelly to its cost. So much for the reasons for the increased expenditures. But does the country suffer from it? By no means. Almost every dollar of the expenses of the govern- ment, except that for the maintenance service, con- them. The more money the gov- ernment spends the more the people have. But for the expenditures of the goveroment how would we get any money into citculation. Except national none in sight. But we are told the people must first be taxed to raise the money. ‘True; but the tax, properly laid, is the best thing in sight for the very people who are taxed, because by protecting our market from the pro- ducts of the cheaper labor of Europe our own people are given employ ment and they pay the small item of tax that falls to their share far more easily than without it they could live and pay no tax. The difference in salary received fora full year’s work and that received for two-thirds of a year's work would pay all the tax that falls to the lot of any lahorer m any times over and give him secur- ity and peace of mind to boot. Secretary Morton took great credit to himself for cutting down the ex- penditures of his department at a time when the people all over the country were harrassed by idleness and want. How much better would it have been had he, instead of curtail- ing,extended his operations into every legitimate field, All his expendi- tares would have added to the cheer of the people and tended to check thy popular discontent and to restore | the shaken confidence. Not parsi- mony, but an intelligent liberality is what the government should culti- vate and what will prove to the best interests of the whole country. A GREAT MONARCH. The ‘‘autocrat of all the Russias’ suffers like other mortals, it seems. It has recently gone forth that his health was bad. It now transpires that he has been suffering from what the old country doctor pronounced President Cleveland’s ailment, a “‘goldarned bile.’’ But along with these very vulgar physical ailments it appears that this most despotic of sovereigns, whose will is (theoreti- cally) law for his whole realm and every individual therein; even this great monarch encounters opposition that he cannot control. We are told by anewspaper correspondent that at a meeting of his council recently so warm was the discussion that the Czar broke down entirely, tears gathered in his eyes, and he buried bis face in his hands and cried: ‘‘Do what you like, It is all the same to me.’’ So it seems even the greatest of earth’s rulers are not exempt from the ordinary ills and trials of this life. FIRED UPON WEYLER. Attempt Upon His Life By a Hid- den Foe—Stories of Bru- talities. Key West, Fla., Jan. 28.—Capt. foe, according to advices by the| steamer Olivette, which reached here from Havana tonight. It seems that Weyler and his staff were reconnoit- ering near Guines. They reached the Candela hill and were ascending, when suddenly Cubans concealed in the bushes opened fire with rifles, and four of Weyler’s staff were wounded, one a lieutenant, who was riding by the Captain General's side. At the first shot the Spaniards fled, Weyler leading his staff, and they were soon out of the range. It is said that the four wounded officers | were deserted, So enraged was Weyler by the at- tack that it is reported he bas order- ed the Spanish troops to desolate the district about Guines, sparing neither man, woman nor child. Advices have also been received of the defeat of the Spaniards under Gen. Melguizo by Cubans under | Gen. Ruis Rivierain Pinar del Bio. Tbe fight oceurred near Vinelas, where Riviera was intrenched wtth 1500 insurgents. Gen, Melguizo, with 2000 Spaniards, made three at- tempts to carry Riviera’s position, but every time was repulsed. In the second charge the losses of the Spaniards were heavy, as the Cubans used their dynamite guns. The Spaniards could hardly be rallied for the third charge, and broke at the first volley from the Cubans, ‘The Cubans report that in the Vinelas engagement Melguizo lost over 300 men, hilled and wounded. AERIAL NAVIGATION, Smithsonian Secretary Believes He Has Solved the Problem. Washington, Jan. 29.—In his an- nual report tothe Smithsonian re- gents, Secretary Langley claims to have practically solved the problem of serial navigation. He say “The writer has, during the inter- vals of his official duties, continued to experiment until be has reached a measure of success which seems to justify him in making the statement bere that mechanical flight has now been attained. On May 16 last a mechanism, built chiefly of steel and driven by @ steam engine made two flights of over half a mile. Since that time this result has been nearly doubled. In each case there was no support from gas. The machine was 1000 or more times heavier than the air in which it was made to move.

Mgns of Long Life That Can Be Read and Understood by Everybody. At @ meeting of the Academy - ence recently F. W, Warner spok the subject of “Biometry.” Mr. ¥ at began his discussion by explainin, the subject was a science treating of the measures of life and the laws and conditions which govern its duration. “Every person,” said he, “carries about with him the physical indica- j tions of his longevity. A long-lived per. son may be distinguished from a short- lived person at sight. In many in- |stances a physician may look at the hand of a patient and tell whether he will live or die, “In the vegetable as well as in the animal kingdom each life takes its characteristics from the life from which it sprung. Among these inherit- ed characteristics we find capacity for continuing its life for a given length of time. This capacity for living we call the inherent or potential longevity. “Under favorable conditions and en- vironments the individual should live out the potential longevity. With un- favorable conditions this longevity may be greatly decreased, but with a favor able environment the longevity of the person, the family cr the race may be Increased,” ‘The speaker then spoke of plant life, stating that trees which have long, thick trunks with smal! limbs invaria- bly have long life. Animals with large bodies and short limbs have a much greater longevity than those with the opposite characteristics. In speaking of the human race, he said: “Each fndividual inherits a potential longevity, and shoud live out this lon- gevity as uniformly as does the lower animal. Allowing for accidents and a« cidendal diseases, the family records will show that the family longevity is ceached with a surprising accuracy “The primary conditions of lon, are that the heart, lungs and vity tive organs, as well as the brain, should be large. If these organs are Jarge the trunk will be long and the limbs com- paratively short. The person will ap- pear tall in sitting and short inst gers, The brain wi!) as shown by the orifice of the ear being. low. ‘The bine hazel or brown hazei eye, as showing an intermission af tem perament, is a favorable Indication, The nostrils being large, open and fre« indicates large lungs. A pinched and half-closed nostril indicates small er weak lungs, “In the case of persons who have short-lved parentage on one side and long-lived on the other side the ques- tion becomes more involved. It is shown in grafting and hybridizing that nature makes a supreme effort to pass the period of the shorter longevity and extend the life to the greater lon- gevity. Anyone who understands these weak and dangerous periods of life Is forewarned and forearmed. It has been observed that the children of long-lived parents nature much later and are usually backward in thelr tance was given ofa gentleman who had indications of great longevity Ho was taken from his hotel ill with veliow fever and removed to the hoa- pital, where he was placed fn a ward with six other patients. Ina few days the six were buried and he was dis charged. Ie had the same type of dis- ease and the same treatment. His lon- wevity carried him through. In conelu- sion he sald: “If time Is money, longevity is wealth, A person who has great tuherited jon- gevity will outlive disease and enjoy the most valued inheritance which parents can give to thelr children.”-— tem bas been asconspicuons as has} of foreign offices—ministers, con-|appears to me that in these things, !
