GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.
What It Co^ts Undo Sam to Pay Off His Holp.
Ono Hundred Million Dollar.s Year In SiUjirios—Comparative Statement of Wealth In the I'nltod states as Hunks Show It.
According to the Chicago Journal, the total amount of salaries paid to government employes foots up a hundred million dollars a year. Yet. this is only a dollar and a half apiece all around, now that our population is 0(5,000,000 people. And this only makes the average salary of the 200,000 people who hold office under the government about S500 per annum each.
Something of the details of where this money goes may be of interest. The diplomatic, service is not so expensive tv luxury as would be supposed I probable. The salary of ministers amounts to only ?:U0,000 per annum secretaries of legation $40,000 per annum, and consuls $500,000. while there is also an additional allowance of about 8100,000 for clerks and consulates. Tho salaries in tho offices of the secretary of the treasury amount to about a half million dollars a year, but this does not include the various divisions in which the salaries run from a few thousand tip to more than a half million dollars per annum. The salaries for the office of the secretary of war amount to over $100,000 and those of the record and pension divisions of the war department foot up over $1,000,000 per annum. The pay of the officers of the line in the army is 82,800,000, and there is added to that $800,000 for pay of officers for length of service. The pay of the enlisted men of the army is .?4,100,000, officers on the retired list, $1,122,000. The pay table of the navy is about half as much as that of the war department, and the total salaries of the treasury department, including over two millions in the internal revenue service alone, is about twelve millions of dollars. The interior department spends about $5,000,000 a year for salaries, the agricultual department a little over a million, and the department of justice about the same.
The post office department, however, is the one which piles up the total of salaries. Even in the post office department In Washington the salaries amount to nearly a million dollars a year, and when you branch out into the postal service all over the country it becomes appalling. The appropriations for the fiscal year just about to end allotted 815,250,000 for compensation to postmasters and $10,704,000 for the free-delivery service. There should be added to this $5,000,000 for carrying the mails by star routes, most of which is for salaries mail-messenger service over a million dollars, and railway post office clerks, (0,031,000. Even congress is a somewhat expensive luxury. The pay of senators amounts to about a half million dollars a year and that of representatives about $2,000,000 a year, to say nothing of the amounts paid for the employes, clerks, stenographers and messengers who assist them in their duties.
Nothing better and more happily illustrates the growth of this country and prosperity of the people than a comparison of the condition? at this time with those which existed eight years ago. That the country has been prosperous in those eight years is evident. Then there were 7,750 banks, now there are 10,000. Their capital stock then was $750,000.000, now it is over a billion. The people then had $2,700,000,000 laid away in the banks "for a rainy day," now they have $4,700,000,000 so deposited in the banlrs. Our national wealth, which then was S48,000,000,000, is now $09,000,000,000. The average per capita of wealth in the United States, including property and money, then was $850 for each individual, while to-day it is in round numbers 81,000.
A BARONY FOR SALE CHEAP.
One of tho Most Famous of Co roll: 11 l'i^iittttiotis Put on the Market. In old St. Stephen's, famous in son'. and story, a parish of Berkley county, on the banks of the tr.wny Santee, some fifty ruilos in a straight line from the shores of the Atlantic, is a great landed estate whose broad iicres. level river bottom avid rolling highland, cultivated fields, tangled swamp, state'y pine grove, groups of live oak, with here and there a bit of virgin forest, form domain fit for a prince. On it, according to the Charleston News and Courier, have lived and died along succession of Carolina planters, all princes in th-• ir day, to whom, while slavery lasted, snowy fields of cotton and waving crops

The Pure Food bill before Congress would be a righteous measure for the people, and should become a law. The public want pure food, and in order to protect themselves must know what is adulterated. All adulterated preparations should be so branded, including Baking Powders containing Ammonia or Alum. Then if people want to dose themselves with "Absolutely Pure" Ammonia or Alum, they will do it knowingly The public have been looking up the composition of Ammonia and
of Indian corn and smaller grain furnished a princely revenue. And tho cattle, if not. of a thousand hills, of a thousand ennobrakes, was theirs, and droves of wild hogs, that throve in tho thickets of the swamps, and blooded horses were their pride.
All that is gone by now. The lordly life of the planter has passed away forever slavery has been abolished and the owner of the land, wearied of the struggle with demoralized frcedmen, would fain give up the light, and offers his patrimony for sale for a song, for barely enough to support him comfortably for the decade, of life that may yet remain to him. There are six thousand acres in that eutate, which is offered to any taker at very little over two dollars an acre. Of that six thousand acres there is arable land capable of producing a. bale of cotton to the acre, twenty to thirty bushels of corn, over seventy bushels of oats, to say nothing of the possibilities of fruit and vegetables and of horse, cattle and hog raising.

A dish as much eaten bv the Portuguese as mince pie by Americans, is the rebanadas. It is of Moorish origin, and is easily and quickly prepared— as befitted the habits of a nomadic race. Thick slices of bread are soaked in new milk, fried in olive oil and then spread with honey and eaten hot. The result is something delicious, and thoso who have once tasted the rebanadao will want to taste it

ETIQUETTE OF GLOVES. At, Kngllsh l.CTEFS TIIOHO Uec«?lv«l by Royalty Must llavo One Hand Uncovorocl.
The prince of Wales is invariably gloved, and well gloved at that. He wears gloves whenever he stirs out of the house, and in the evening at tho theater, or at private entertainments, his hands are always enveloped in wellcut, single-button, pearl-gray kids. He retains his gloves when shaking hands, but the person whom he thus greets, is expected to bare his hand before extending it. Thus at the levees held by the prince on behalf of the queen at St. James' palace the ushers and other functionaries of the lord chamberlain's department who are on duty are care* ful to see that each man before entering the royal presence has his right hand bared and his left carefully gloved. In the middle ages the etiquette with regard to gloves was far more stringent than it is at present.
For instance, no ono was permitted to enter a church wearing gloves, which were considered just as out of place as it would nowadays be to remain in any sacred edifice with a hat on. Nor were,: the great officers of the royal and imperial courts permitted to wear gloves while fulfilling their official duties. It was forbidden in France for the coachman and grooms to enter tho royal stables without previously removing the gloves from their hands. Curiously enough, gloves went out of fashion almost entirely during the latter portion of the eighteenth century, and only reappeared after tho great: French revolution, one hundred years ago. The first gloves that were ever heard of are those mentioned in tho his-« tory of the Roman war against the Gauls. The latter, we are told, had their hands enveloped in coverings made of the skins of animals in order to preserve them from the cold.
Hank lu Her Throat.
Grassini, the great Italian singer, was very much interested in the young girls among her relatives, and always ready to encourage any talent she could find in them. One day a novice was brought to her with the unpromising words: "She is a spoiled contralto, and will never do anything on the stage." Hut the singer listened while the young girl began her frightened trills, when suddenly Grassini caught her in her arms with delight. "Why, you are not a contralto," she said, "but the finest soprano in the world. Your voice is far stronger than mine. Study well. You want none of my help there is a rich bank in your throat." The little singer was none other than Giula Grisi.
