Now tho causes of this general increase in tho cost of maintaining 1 any and overy form Of government are inflexible. Thoy operate independently of the povornmont. This feature of tho problem rondora it trebly difficult to JdcaJ with. Yot there tiro causes that operate in pnrMy relative way. They necnon oetwecD me power to tax and certain special interests, and following a logical mothod of seeking for in the we may conclude that for Kome reason or other benefit accrues to somebody through this general increase in the expenditures of the world's governments.

But who are these bene- liciaries? The most, practicable method of establishing 1 that would be to effect a reduction in the budget regardless of the representations of special interests. It usually happens that those interests which arc most active in the lobby have greatest influence ia the preparation of the budget. Flow I comes it that the existence of this lobby is possible? Thai is, how can the special interests which maintain them afford the expense? Obviously, because their prods uncle the existing exercise of the ta.xin are very ample. It is therefore certain that an interest which main tains its preeminence through the tax ing power of the government creating it must reap very great advantages Did it not it could never maintain the vast and intricate system rendered essential for the preservation of its su- premaey. A consideration of these facts may make it more evident why governmental expense accounts do not decrease.

Once a new source of expenditure has been discovered, it becomes almost impossible to close it. There is sure to bo some interest battling for its retention, arid there is, moreover, a certainty that other schemes arc in contemplation, all clamorous for a representation on the fiscal list. There is something almost pathetic in the peelalions of one administration after another that tin; expense account m'ust decrease with the year to como.

AMELIA E. BARB. "YOU HAKE XEUV- FELIX operate only through temporary cond i One of tho iuQoxiblo causes of the in crease is tho rise'in prices of those com -tnodities which are manufactured solol for governments.

Munitions of war battle ships, harbors, internal improve meats soom to constructed and con dncted necessarily on scale of incrcas Ing costliness. Again, there is tho ex tension of tho functions of tho modern state in directions unheard of even late as the commencement of the prcs out century. Finally, tho increase in population occasions expense through tncrc arithmetical preponderance. Where is this to end? Must govern- racnts already embarrassed by the burdens, of budgets at present swelled to the amplest proportions look forward to the budget that is to come as Bourco of embarrassment than its predecessor? It is hardly to tho point to call attention to tho increase of prosperity 'that is observable hero and there-in tho world. Whatshall.be said regarding those Industrial crises that periodically' retard tho devnlop- ment ol tho people? Tho point is that tbo increase of governmental expondi- turo is out of all proportion to the in- iu governmental resources.

A mnu's fortuno may increase at tho rate of ten per cout. per year, but if his pcnscs increase at the rate of twenty per cent, a year he is a loser. Very slmihir is the position of the govern- of the world. Who is bearing these additional burdens? Tho money comes out of somebody's pocket. would bo worth while to ascertain precisely who foots these bills.

Any effort to establish tho exact distribution of the burden is hampered by tho indirect nttturo of present taxntion. It is also 1 surprising that special interests are permitted, as they are, to take ndvan- of the taxing power to further iu- dividual cads. The power to tax is ordinarily connected in the general 1 mind with, the power to raise money. taxation will nci-omplish a great deal more thnn the raising of moccy. It'ia a wealth distributing iuflucnce.

In truth, it may bo doubtoO whether tho to tax is not tho whole of the '-power govern. View-ing 1 row the intimacvof flie eon- K-iUlvK. cumulates so rapidly. The populations of tho world arc having a heavier weight to sustain as the years elapse. What will they do when the truth dawns upon them? It is perhaps unfortunate that this whole subject of governmental costliness is so little observed.

Nay, the fact that a vast official system expends so many millions a year affords positive pride to many of its citizens. Few reflect that while the burdens of such expenditure must be sustained by all directly, in a greater or less degree, tho resulting benefits of a direct nature have to bo, in the very nature of the case, reserved for the few. There is not, apparently, a miser among tho governments of the earth, yet all arc termed miserly by those who live under them. Surely that is very curious.

Thirty-six tons of caterpillars and a large number of cocoons were destroyed in the effort to drive the pests from the young plantations of trees on Hong Kong island. They appeared on the pine trees with whioh the government is trying to rcafiorest the island, and lasted for two months. Stations wore established where tho caterpillars were received and paid for by weight; this method seems to have been successful.

In th summer, there is the heat, and the dogs, and hydrophobia: in the win ter, the cold and the smoking chim ncys, and the slides on the sidewalks if they arc traveling, the train goes too quick; the luggage will be lost: and the last hotel bill was a shameful swindle. Or it rains, and they frut, at tho weather as if it was the result ol some one's bad mismanagement. They always have a Mordeeai; and the millennium to them would certainly be a very dull time; for it would leave them nothing to complain of, and nothing to worry about. Undoubtedly one of pleasures of life is worrying; indeed the attitude implies a comfortable exemption from rcai sorrow.

For worries are tho shadows of success, and of happiness of many kinds; and real calamities soon send them packing. When men and women are in extremities, when the home is breaking Or the jrave isopcn, little thingsdo notsiguify. Then there is no room for them, even tho night season, which is emphatically the hour when phantoms of unrest assail the weak heart. Indeed there are very few who, at some time or other, have not, found such intangible midnight foes impossible to scatter; very effort to drive them away being futile as beating a cloud with a rid- ng whip, lint when a genuine sorrow sits by the bedside, we forget that our worries ever The slight iinporia-nec of worries as compared with real troubles is not the only phaccof the complaint; women r.rc particularly clever ul worrying over some anticipated evil.

Common sense always retires frotr.

The nobler woman possesses herself until misfortune enters her dwelling, then clear-headed and strong-hearted she meets and conquers, because she eomes to her trial with all her physical and menial powers alert, and so carries with her into the contest tho earnest of her victory. As general worriers, women are not worse than small men, or than men who stay much- at home and potter about the household affairs; but as family worriers women can be deplorable sorrow makers. Many a mother who really loves her children worries young lives, till they are lost and stupid in the sea of their perplexities. Say a child has some natural deformity, she harps upon this a constant monody to her own Ul fortune in hav- ng such an affliction to bear day after day.

If another has any tricks of manner, or aptitudes of mind, which do not fit her natural mannerisms and the child suffers a perpetual correction. Perhaps it is a restless, nervous boy, whose instincts would lead him to constant movement and racket. The worrying nother does not consider the child's hunger for adventure and motion, she "cannot worried out of her senses" by knowirur ho PLUGTO3ACCO. you sivro taat Fenman really reconciled with his wife?

And a woman capable of this nagging to a child whom she really loves can tantalize and plague and harass her husband into his grave by a species of tho same kind of slow torture. Then her eyes arc opened to his excellencies, and tho man whom she systematically treated as incapable of appreciating her fine feelings, only fit to worry her to (loath by liis blindness and obtuseness, becomes a very saiit, for he furnishes her a brand-new subject of lamentation, and one that may bo extended on every side, and be available as long as she lives.

She puts on the deepest mourning, she hushes all music and laughter, und she expects all her acquaintances to speak to her in a roico modulated with It is a noticeable quality in worriers at whatever is wrong they arc never responsible for it.

Some one to throw blame on is part of the providential irranjjemcul of their houses and their ives. And just as men worriers have ilways tho tariff, or the police, tho or the Jesuits, to bear the brunt of their forebodings, so the woman worrier can always some one in general, or some one in particular, who las been sadly in the way of her doing good, or giving generously, or bearing natural ills of life with equanimity. unfortunately this some one, vhom it is safe to blame, is generally at weak- husband, a willful child, a poor relation, a false friend, a. dishon. est servant.

There is not only a cut in every house who is answerable for all thefts and "THE CAT DID IT." breakages; there is also a cat in every life, who 0.11s the same sad position; and if the worrier only selects her cat with discrimination she may throw a great deal of blame on it, for she is neither bound to give reasons, norshow is the cat's part. Latterly and female sought a far wider exploiter of their grievances and fears. It has be- rome. fashionable to impart them to the newspapers. Men worriers write to the public about the wrongs they suffer through the wide skirts, or the high hats, or the big sleeves of women.

They complain of their sidewalks, and their gas Mis, and the policeman on their streets; or they worry to the whole country coreerninj the need of reform, or tho inefficiency of the coming woman for the duties of wifehood. Women write about the dog laws, or the insolence of servants, or the discomforts of a certain railway, or the bad management, of their summer hotel. Any grievance will do, for none ol the worriers expect their wrongs to be redressed or their fears to bo reasoned They write for the pure pleasure of airing their particular grievance, or of having their special grum for, however silly they arc in that direction, a man or a woman must be a lunatic, indeed, who thinks gas companies will be made reasonable, or mil iners change the fashions, or servants become honest and respectful, by writing to tho papers about them. If a man or a woman has appre- icnsive temperament, it is very hard not to worry. But conquest is possible to determ ined to achieve it.

And in this direction they may first resolve, that if they cannot avoid worrying, they wiil, at least, not. worry to others. It is '-ertainly better to Sdget alone, than to make oneself a general and a particular nuisance. Secondly, they may select some general or national siibjeet to worry about; for if they can only prevent tbeir inrie- tics and trepidations taking- a purely personal, selfish form, they are at seast humanized, and their worrying is on higher ground, 'i'hen there is Sydney Smith's plan for a serene short views of hour's view, for instance, and say to the foreboding heart: "Be at peace, all is right for this hour at hour at a time, and refuse to look to any possible change for the worse. And as worriers are often estimable people in all other directions, they may spur such good resolutions by reflecting that egotism and selfishness are at the bottom of all nndne A POLAR.

He had been nsked to sail a "Tem- boringy' the largest kind of open boat employed in tho Nordkind district, to the Chicago exhibition, and agreed to do so, but the plan was given up, as it met with groat opposition from those who considered the venture, iiwiujj to the danger accompanying it, but little short of murder.

Broekmo. it will be remembered, then decided on going to fetch his fishing sloop, which lay in Green Harbor, Spitsbergen, in a small open boat, to show that a little craft, well handled, could go anywhere. The boat ivas 14 feet long by 0 feet beam and feet deep. The voyage, on which he: was accompanied by a youth of eighteen years, John Christiansen byname, was accomplished thirteen days. On the return voyage in the little fishing sloop of ten tons, they were driven back by continuous gales and compelled to winter at Spitx.bcrgen, at Middlehook, where there is a line seven-room house, built by Xordenskjold in 1S71, which, however, was plundered long since of all its furniture and stores.

The two men had to live ns best they on reindeer and bear's flesh. The former they could not gel nearer than Sasscns bay. thirty-five miles from their abode, but bears were chance visitors to their quarters. One of liroekmo's last adventures with bruin occurred in June last, and though wounded in tic head by the bear's claws, he killed it single- handed with, his Icnife. Tho reindeers are particularly fat; and tbeir coat is at its best in January.

They are then ex- ccptionallj' wary, and in order to shoot them Broekmo had to conceal himself behind a rock, wliile Christiansen worked round and--drove the deer down to him. From the time the sun disappears in the autumn, until its reappearance in the spring, life on Spitsbergen or its shores is only represented by tho deers and bears. Fish disappear from its and the walnis seek other parts, while the seals lie under the ice in little chambers, which receive air through a small hole leading to the surface, kept open hy tho breathing of the animal. Bruin, during the winter, lives solely on his own fat. as he cannot obtain a morsel of food, cither on the frozen sea or snow-clad land, the reindeer being too wary and fleet of foot to allow of hia stealing a march on them.
