Cost of Government.
At a time when the question of the Royal
grants in tete United Kingdom ia direeting
an unusual amount of attention to the cost
of adminestering tee affairs of the Mother
Country, it may not be out of place to glance
et the expense of Government amongst
other natione.
The following figuree in round numbers
will give an idea of the cost of Government;
in the United States, though, of course, the
enormous expenditure during vhePresidential
elections every four years is neceeaarily not
included, the estimate of a prominent polite(+tau on the other side recently piecing it,
however, at it sum exceeding twenty milliona

The total minimum costa Government in
France, inoiuding the President's salary and
alluvrances of $180,060 per annum, and the
saleries paid to Senators and Deputlea, is
upwards of two millions of dollars--vrhile
the income of the Imperial family of Russia

REASONS WHY BLINKERS HARM INSTEAD OF
BENEFIT HORSES.
When a home is used for the saddle no
one thinks of meddling with his eyes, and
we allow the animal to use them freely, as
nature has directed. But no sooner do we
put the same animal into the harness than
we think ourselves bound to fasten a black
leather flap over each of hie eyes'so as to
prevent him from seeing objects athis sides,
and to limit his view to thous which are in
his immediate front. This is done with the
very best intentions, the object being to
save him from being frightened by start.
ling and unwonted sights, and only to
leave it sufficiency of vision wherewith to
guide his step. Herein, as in feeding
and stabling the horse, men judges the
animal by himself, forgetting, or rather
having failed to notice, that the 55 51
of the horse are exceedingly unlike our own.
Our eyes are set in the front of our heads
so these if blinkere were fastened to our
temples our range of vition would be but
slightly limited. Bur, the epee of the :horse
are placed on the eides of the head, and are
rather prominent, so that the animal can
not only see on either side, but by rolling
his eyes backwards aa we Bee in a vicicua
horse, can sae objeOts almost in his immedi-
ate rear. The effect of the blinker is both
mentally and physically injurieue to the
horee. In the first place, especially when
large and brought; near the eyes, it halt the
effect of heating theni and hindering the
frae patise.ge of air over them. In the next
place, it causea the eyes to be always de
rooted forward, and thus producee a most
injurious strain on the delicate muscles.
We know how a painful sensation is fele
when we are obliged to strain our eyes
either backward or upward for any length
of time, and the horse suffers no less incon-
venience when it is forced to keep its eyes
continualle strained forward.
The veorat exemples of the blinker thab I
have ever seen were in the United Staten,
where the blinkerigor "blinders" AS they are
there named) are often brought ao closely to-

"I haven't the least idea. I have always

The artist laughed and then entered into
the details of how portraits really are paint-
ed. He said : "A bust portrait like this,

hours in all to finale. Coma into my workshop

of canvas. The artiet continued:
"I now take a lead -pencil, and, following

Oixotunstantial Evidence
The murder of Colonel Jones ofOinoinnati
furnished it curious commentary on the
value of circumstantial evidence, During
the search for Mr. Janes, before it was
known tett he had been killed, six men
stated that; they had seen him alive on the
street at the very hour when (as was subse-
quently learned) he was lying deadin hie
barn. Theee men were reputable retinae,
one of them being a clergyman. They were
all very positive in their assertions, and
doubtless would have bold the same stories
if they had been under oath. Yet every one
of them was mistaken. The raental con-
viction which eau make memory play such
pranks iwdiffiettle to understand. Happily,
ao harm was done, for the murderer made a
fall confeaston before he knew of the avenue
of escape thus opened to him. Bat the
oecurrences ehow that sworn testimony,
even from the best of people, is not always
absolutely trustworthy.-.-(Roehester Demo-
