It will thus be seen that while the rev- enue was $1,212,394 greater than in the previous twelve months, owing to the sale of jubilee postage stamps and the fore- stalling of revenue for excise, the expendi- mre has also advanced very much, and was $532,211 more than for the same period last year.
The statement of the national 3th Juneshows an increase over Jane Isst year of $11,604,457 in the gross debt, and of $4,156,219 in the net debt.

How a California Woman Spent Nearly a Year With the Bards.
Mrs. H. A. Deming of San Francisco is said to have occupied a year in hunt- ing up and fitting together the follow- ing 38 lines from 38 English poets. The names of the authors are given below:
1—Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour? 2—Life’s a short summer, man a flower. 8—By turns we catch the vitel breath and die, 4—The cradie and the tomb, alas, so nigh! 5—To be is better far than not to be, 6—'Though all man'’s§Re may seem # tragedy, 7—But light cares speak when mighty cares are dumb 8—The bottom is but shallow whence they come 9—Your fate is but the common fate of all; f0—Unmingled joys here to no man befall. 11—Nature to each allots his proper sphere, 12—Fortune makes folly her peculiar care. 18—Custom does often reason overrule l4—And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool. 15—Live well, how long or short permit of heaven, 16—They who forgive most shall be most for given. 17—Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see its face— 18—Vile intercourse where virtue has not place. 19—Then keep each passion down, however dear, 20—Thou pendulum betwixt a emile and tear. 2l—Her sensual snares let faithless pleasures lay 22—With craft and skill to ruin and betray. 23—Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise, 24—We masters grow of all that we despise. 25—Oh, then renounce that impious self esg- teem— 26—Riches have wings,and grandeur is a dream. 27—Think not ambition wise because ‘tis brave, 28—The paths of glory lead but to the grave. 29—What is ambition? ‘Tis a glorious cheat, 380—Only destructive to the braye and great. 81—What's all the gaudy glitter of a crown? 82—The way to bliss lies not on beds of down. 883—How long we live not years, but actions, tell; 84—That man lives twice who lives the first life well. 85—Make, then, while yet you may, your God your friend, 86—Whom Christians worship, yet not compre- hend. 87—The trust that's given guard, and to your- self be just, 38—For live we how we can, yet die we must. 1, Young; 2, Dr. Johnson; 8, Pope; 4, Prior;

The Canals of Mars.
As the result of long continued and very successful observations in Arizona and Mexico Mr. Percival Lowe!l con- cludes, as quoted in the New York Her- ald, that the canals of the planet Mars show such ‘‘a marvelous system as can- not well be due to any natural forces, and finds its best explanation in the presence of local intelligence on the planet, which has purposely created a system of irrigation for the perpetua- tion of its own existence.’’ thinks there is little or no water in lakes or seas on Mars, and that the

The Senators Mallory.
After Stephen R. Mallory, the new senator from Florida, gets settled in his dignified position he witl doubtless find time to inspect the original record on the senate journal of a fact which is not without personal interest for him. That record was made on March 14, 1861, and declares:
Whereas, The seats of Albert G. Brown and Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, Stephen R. Mal lory of Florida, Clement C. Clay, Jr., of Ala- bama, Robert Toombs of Georgia and Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana as members of the sen- ate have become vacant; therefore,
Resolved, That the secretary be dirceted to omit their names respectively from the roll.
The Mallory of 1861 was the father of the Mallory of 1897, and a lot of his- tory haus been made since the name dis- appeared from the senate roll. Its reap- pearance now after only 36 years was not needed te mark the closing of a chapter in that history, for the conclu sion has been emphasized by many and greater signs, but none the less there is meaning in this quiet taking up by a son of tasks which a father laid down amid such scenes of excitement and na- tional danger.—New York Times.
The Spirit of War.
During the last few weeks a German |
factory that makes toy lead soldiers has received so many large orders for Turk- ish and Greek soldiers for next Chyist- mas that it advertises in German pa- pers its inability to accept further or- ders for delivery within this year. The makers of tey uniforms, games, pic- tures and similar toys are also running overtime manufacturing specialties il- lustrating the war. Even the textile in- dustries are preparing to reap a golden harvest, and material of every imagina- ble description in oriental and Greek designs is bejng manefactured in great quantities. Paris has begun to lead the styles with Greek ideas embodied in military and costume, and all other countries will naturally follow the lead of the French capital.
The Negro Poet Abroad. Paul Laurence Dunbar, the young negro poet, has not been financially suc- cessful as a reader in England, but he
, is having an agreeable time socially.
‘*The American oelored man here,’’ he says, ‘‘is a good deal like a boy just out of school. He feels his freedom and shows it ingenuously. When one has not been allowed to stick his nose inside the portal of the Hotel Waldorf, in New York, and is refused entertainment at the bests hostelries of His nation’s cap- ital, to be welcomed at the Hotel Cecil
| in London is, perhaps, a little upsetting.
Mr. Lowell |
planet’s water supply comes from the |
snow and ice at its poles, which melt rapidly in summer. The canals he be- lieves to have been constructed to care for and to distribute this annual flood from the fast melting ice caps cf the polar regions.
Such astronomy as this that Mr. Lowell has been busy with must be of great use to keep the imagination ina healthy state. It involves a real change of thought to get one’s mind off the earth entirely and to busy it with Mar- tian investigation. It will be interesting to learn what the observers who peep through the great Yerkes telescope, for which lenses of unprecedented size have been very recently completed, will have to say about the Martian canals.— Harper's Weckly.
A Canny Scotch Peddler.
A kind of Turkish delight—one pen- ny u section—is dispensed from barrows in Argyll street, Glasgow, and finds large favor in the eyes of the bacolic from the surrounding country. One of the venders is exhibiting the following legend, hand printed, on his barrow:
‘Five thousand tons of pure Turk- ish delight captured by the Greeks at the battle of Milouna puss to be heaved away at heartrending prices. Another big consignment, taken at the fall of
Larissa, coming. Thousands of Turks |
and Greeks slain fighting for these identical goods. Now is the tirae to show your patriotism and sympathy for the Cretans. Eat Turkish delight and solve the eastern problem at slaughter prices.
enjoying.”’
There is nothing like taking ‘occa- sion by the hand.’’—Westminster Ga- zette.
Cipriani.
Signor Cipriani, whose company of Italian volunteers, raised for service in Greece, was recently disbanded, is one of the most extraordinary characters 1n contemporary Italian life. In spite of his being in prison, he was elected no fewer than six consecutive times by overwhelming majorities to represent his native city of Ravenna in the cham- ber of deputies, whereupon the king, on the recommendation of his then prime minister, Signor Crispi, issued a pardon to the man ip the hope of conciliating the people of the northeastern provinces, always notorious for their disaffection tothe throne and for their revolutionary
tendencies.

After finding oneself excluded from the best restaurants in America or frowned upon in them, to be seated and smiled at by the obsequious manager of Frascati’s is something of a change.’’
A Lacky Shot.
**Old Moore’s Almanack,’’ an annual prophetic publication with a wonderfal circulation among certain classes of the British population, made an extraor- dinarily lucky shot in connection with the Paris fire. With reference to the last few days of April it made this prophecy, ‘*We are almost sure to hear news of an awful fire in Paris, which will involve great loss of life, while a gang of loafers will be busy amoung the ruins.’’—New York Post.

SCOTT ACT MANIFESTO.
To the People of P. BE. Island:
Wuar wiil vou have, Scott Act or Free Kum? Wewill have one or the other after election day.
The times are laden with golden oppor- tunities for, aud woeful dangers to, the cause of temperance; and it behooves men and women everywhere to be in real and active earnest in promoting (emperance and depouncing the liquor traffic.
Charlottetown holds the key of sobriety or drunkenness for this Province. The Scott Act election, to be held July 22nd decides which door will be opened —whether from the fountain head of P. E. Island will flow a stream of good or one of damn:- ing influence, contaminating more or less
| . | every boy and girl, every man and woman
in this province. Theenemy is strongly
entrencLed in this city. Its wealth and
| power is.concentrated here and will figi.t
as never before for its very existence It s tenfold harder to drive liquor out of the city than out of the country.
The success or defeat of the Scott Act will not only strongly affect, for weal or woe, the people of P. E. Island for some yeara to come but will have a pronounced effect upon the coming Plebiscite. The
eyes of this great Dominion are on us, and
the result of this election will be +troigly felt by the people from the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific. Mr. 8. F. Spence, of Toronto, in writing, says it will be a great calamity tothe temperance cause if
the Scott Act is defeated in Charlottetown. Now then, io view of these things, we esk for your sympathy «nd financial aid. May God give us all wisdom and power to fight and maintain His cause.
