IT is a fact that here is a regular monthly deficit in the National treasury of several million dollars each month. Much talk is indulged in of increasing the revenues to m^et the expenses. It is a little peculiar that no congressman or senator ever suggests1 scaling down the expenditures so that they do not exceed revenue "That is the old fashioned way of getting out of debt, speuding less than your income and applying the surplus to paying the principal of the debt. Cleveland thinks it is ta-ier to sell hoeds.

DEAFILY SHOTS FIRED BY THE SUN.

In One Instance an Innocent Man Was Sentenced to Be Hanged. In a recent pajjer appeared an account of a strange accident in which a man was killed by the discharge of a gun while lying asleep on a lounge in his room, the weapon being discharged by reflected rays of the sun falling upon the cartridge chamber of the firearm.

Since the publication of the story a correspondent from York, Pa., writes soncerning the accident and refers to a similar case, in which, through the efforts of a clever Cincinnati lawyer named G. C. Wallis, the person accused of murder and sentenced to be hanged was set at liberty, the circumstantial evidence on which he was convicted being entirely exploded by a witnessed demonstration as to how the accident really occurred.

The York correspondent referred to volume 13 of The Criminal Law Magazine, page 607, on which a full account of the case appears. The case was that of the state of Tennessee against Avery, tried in Henry county, that state, and is one of the most remarkable in the history of criminal jirisprudence.

In June, 1887, Claries Ensley, the cousin of a man of the name of Avery, was killed in his room while lying on a lounge, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The weapon which caused the death was a small rifle, sending a 32 caliber ball through Ensley's brain. No one was in the house at the time but Ensley. An empty rifle was found lying on a rack on a wall of the room in which the killing occurred, and the bullet fitted the tube.

Avery was arrested for the crime, as he was the only living close relativo to Ensley, and by his death profited to the amount of about $100,000. Avery was tried, pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to the supreme court and engaged Mr. Wallis to defend him. The supreme court remanded the case back to the circuit court on technical errors. Two mistrials were brought about, and then came the strangest part of the story. The brilliant Wallis struck the keynote to the mystery. In August. 1891, he had the rifle loaded and hung on the wall. A white sheet with the form of a man marked on it was placed in exactly the position occupied by Ensley when lying asleep, and a heavjrcut glass pitcher of water like the one found in the room was placed on the shelf above. The temperature was 90 degrees in the shade, one of the hottest days of the year.

The pitcher acted as a sunglass, and the hot rays of the sun shining through the water were refracted directly on the cartridge chamber of the rifle.

Eight witnesses were in the room, and a few minutes after 3 o'clock a puff and a report occurred, and the ball struck the outlined form back of the ear in the exact location where Ensley was shot, and the theory of circumstantial evidence went to pieces. The incident, being witnessed and sworn to, readily explained itself to the jury.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.

The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Moped When He Was There. All his life Horace had wished for a piece of land which contained a garden, a stream and a coppice, and in the Sabine valley ho found all three. To take a nap after his brief meal on the grass by the stream was to him that exquisite combination of mental and physical ease which man is foolish to despise because it is an enjoyment within the reach of every other animal as well as of himself. Horace clearly considered both his Sabine farm and his villa at Tibur healthier than the capital, especially in the autumn, "when all fathers and mothers turn pale with fear for their children." It may be doubted if Rome was so exempt from malarial fever at that time as it is generally thought to have been. Once, when he had promised Ma)cenas to be away only five days, he remained at Tibur through all the month of August, and he begs his "dear friend," if he would have him keep well, to let him stay yet longer, and even pass the winter out of Rome by the seaside (he was probably thinking of Tarentum).

Yet was not there a spice of truth in the taunt which his servant Davus addressed to the poet, that when he had. been too long in the country he moped to death? We are almost invited to suspect that there was the town was, after all, the life of his life. One may be sure, by the bye, that the worthy Davus himself hated seclusion as much as any Italian savant does today. Tibur he may have endured there he could gossip with the servants of other villas, but at the Sabine farm with whom could he have due chiacchiere except with the steward—another martyr? By immortalizing the amusing criticism of Davus, Horace shows that he was the firs* to observe that "no man was a hero to his valet."—Contemporary Review.

The Successful Man.

"The successful man," said Mr. Gratebar, "is by no means helpful to himself alone. He helps a great lot of other people as well. There isn't a healthy, vigorous, energetic, self reliant, successful man whose example does not breed the same qualities in others, and personal contact with such a man is an active stimulant and direct aid to success. Ho awakens in us new strength and arouses ambition. Ho winds us up and sets us going. See to it, my friend, that you don't run down."—New York Sim.

Gayly colored and decorated round hats are sold in immense numbers. Mauy of the new drosses are made with velvet sleeves in the same color as the material composing the gown.

The rough fabrics this soason include the bourettes and bouclo goods, tho Scotch heather mixed cheviots and stylish English tweeds.

For dressy evening uses aro imported somo very elegant capes of flower strewn satin adorned with chiffon ruches and jetted Vandykes.

A stylish traveling cloak mado of waterproof cloth of a dark green shado is finish^ ed with a capo which can be worn separately when desired.

Flowers mado of soft tiny feather tips and clipped and jetted stiff plumage are popxilar, especially in black, and for useful no less than for smart hat trimmings they aro desirable.

Some of the newest ribbons aro woven in patterns called the Spanish, or gypsy. The brilliant mixtures chiefly prevail.: These ribbons aro decidedly fashionable,' but scarcoly pretty.

Many of tho newest toilets for eveningwear show the chiffon trimmed bodico liberally decorated with flowers, chrysanthemums and spicy carnations, neither of which quickly wither, being favorite blossoms.

The prevalence of wliito millinerywhite velvot, white chenille, cream white French felt, white satin bordered with sable, etc.—is no doubt due to the fact that white is so extensively used to trim fashionable gowns.—New York Post.
