REDUCED TAXATION. : It is a question for dmeress to deter mine whether any material reduction In taxation should be ni.-tdt.' at a time when the whole surplus revenue may be with great advantage applied directly to the payment of accruing dtbt, and when such surp'us is an important element in aid of refunding. If it should be deter mined by Congress to reduce taxes it is respectfully recommended that all the taxes imposed by the internal revenue law other t . an those on bank circulation and on spirits, tobacco nnd fermented liquors be repealed. The tax on the circulation of national banks is levied partly in the nature of a moderate charge for a iranchise conferred by the govern ment, and partly to furnish means to pay the expense of printing and issuing national banknotes. It is e isilv collected by the treasurer of the United States, and is a just and proper tax, whether regarded as a charge for the franchise or as a means of reimbursing the eovern merit, the coBt of printing the notes. The tax on State banks is of the gravest importance, not for purposes of revenue, but as a check upon the renewal ol a system of local State paper money. ; The secretary recommends that pro Vision be made for the issue cf an amount not exceeding $1(10,0(10,000 of treasury notes in denominations not less than ten dollars, bcari.ig interest not ex ceeding four per centum per annum, and 'gunning from one to ten years, to be sold at not lffs than par, the amount ma turing during any year not to ex ceed the sinking fund for that year, and the proceeds to be applied to the payment of live and six per centum bonds, maturing in 1891. It is believed that, with the present state of the money market, a sufficient amount of such treasury notes bearing an annual inter est of three per centum, can be soid tc meet a considerable portion of the maturing bonds ; but it is better to con fer upon the department a discretionary power to stipulate for a higher maxi mum rate, to avoid tliepo-sibiiityol fail ure. Such a discretion is not likely to be abused, while a power too carefully restricted may defeat the beneficial ob ject of the law. It is also recommended that authority be given to seil at par an amount not exceeding $ JtO.i.OO.OUO of bonds of the character and descripti n of the four per centum bonds of the United States now outstanding, hut bearing a la'.e of inter est not exceeding three and sixty-live one hundredths per centum per annum, and redeemable at the ple.isure of the United States alter ti'ieea years, the .proceeds to be applied to the payment ot bonds rertecmable cn or before July 1, 1881. T.,ough the amount ot the two classes cf eg. unties recommended exceeds the amount ol bonds to be redeemed, no more can be old than the bonds to he redeemed, 'while the alternative authorized will permit a limited discreiion to sell the securities mo t favorable to the govern ment. With the authority thus recom mended, it is believed that the depart ment can within a year redeem all the five and six per cent, bonds now out standing, and thus rtriu e the interest of the public debt $12,000,000 per an num, and leave the debt in a form most favorable for gradual payment by tne application of the sinking lund, with out cost or premium. lit SUMPTION. . Nothing has occurred since my last 'annual report to disturb or em bar ass tho easy maintenance oi specie payments. United States notes are regulnrly takes at par with coin in all parti ot this coun try and in the chief commercial marts of the world. The balance ot coin in tho treasury available for their reden ption on the first el ay of November last was $141,597 013 61, and the average during the year has not materiully varied from that sum. The only noticeable change in the reserve is the gradual increase of silver coin caused by the coinage o tho silver dollar and the redemption of frac tional diver coin, more ful y stated hereinafter. All the r quit-' menta of the resump tion act have thus farbeen executed, and its wisdom has been fully demonstrated. "There are places in the Atlantic rteean," the lecturer impressively s.iid, "in which the tallest mountain ranges could be hid from view. "But bow are jou going to movie the ranges ?"solemnly raked a pale, dyspepticU oking man, in the back of the h ill, anel then the j ini tor put out the lights.

The poprlar custom of preparing Christmas trees for the young and old Increases yearly; and the question, ' How shall I trim one?" is often asked ; so I shall try to answer it. If ynu can obtain the tree from some pine woods near at hand, select a finely-shaped fir bal-am or spruce, with firm branches, and about nine or ten feet liieb. Then spread a large sheet over one end of the parlor carpet and put a good-sized tea chest in the center of it. The lower limbs of the tree must be sawn off se that it CMn he fixed firmly into the box, anel small heavy article?, like weights and flatironr, inn be put in for bnllast, to keep the tree firmly in place. Then fill up the box with hard coal. The chest must be concealed with some pretty material; old curtains will answer the purpose, or the American flit? ; and a white furry robe Is bIso Kuil able. Drape these at tides cloc to the tree, and let tliem trail a little on the floor, to make a graceful sweep. Now the tree is plaited, and we must proceed to decorate it. Make chains of popped corn, strung together with needle and thread ; at least a dozen yards will be none too much for a large-sized tree, and the pure white festoons intwined amid the dark grpen branches of the tree produce a fine effect. We must also have paper charms made either of glazed scar et, gilt or silver; cut the paper into small strips, four inches long and cot half an inch in width; fasten the two end3of each strip together with Hour paste, and ma'ehal of them into rines; then take the res and make into similar rings, but first slip each strip through two of the dried rings before joining' the ends. In this manner ail the slips of paper are inter laced and we hare a chain of rings which will gieatly adorn our tree. They must be festooned in long, graceful loops lrom limb to limb, and the effect is very charming. All this work the children can do, and it ad els greatly to the entertainment, of the long eve ninss at this se-ison. Tliev can also assist in covering English wal nuts with tinfoil or gilt pitper, and in filling apples wir.h cloves, whiou will serve to keep moths from the drawers of our bureaus, and therefore make accept able presents. If wo possess a cracked mirror we must take it to the glazier's and ask him to cut it into two-inch squares. Around the eelges and across 'tho backs oinred paper must bo pasted, and long rib'ion loops attached to the backs by which to suspend them behind the tiny wax can dle, where tiiry will do duty as reflec tors Fancy glass balls of all colors can be purchaser! for a few cents each; nnd several dozen of wax candles, with tin rests to nttnch them to the tree, can be bo;i ilit Solt-balaneing enndlc-holders can also be fou-d at must toy shops and need only to i.e placed ou the branches. If these cannot be obtained, common copper wire ran be heated a little and run up through the candle a little way, and the other end can bo twisted firmly about the branch. If the wicks are brushed over with a little kerosene they will light up very quickly. The very light and showy gifts can be suspended upon the tree, but the heavier articles roust be laid upon the table, or c.Ue wrapped in paper and hid around the base of the tree. A pair of scisso' s must be in readiness to cut the gite from the branches. When such a tre e is trimmed, filled with gifts and liahted it is indeed a beautiful sight a graceful gren pyramid, witii numberless little jets of flame, trembling and flashing mirrors, garlanr's of bright hues all bright uess, sparkle and color. Try it, fair friends, and see for yourselves how lovely it is. Pnnglenjt's Test, Woman is by nature so erratic aad inconsistent a creation that it doesn't elo to bft on even her most marked charac teristics. For illustration, the other day old Mr. l'ungleup, ot Noh Hill, was commenting cn the railroad velocity with which young ladies jabber to each other when they meet, without either in tho least understanding or replying to what inn other says. " It's just a mean falsehood eott- n up by you good-for-nothing men." said the yminsest Pungleup girl, indignantly. "All right," said her father, b-niei:v-tly; "we"l try an experiment. I ce your friend, Miss Cluckersor, com ing up the street. Now, I'll wager tint nnw walking suit you want so much tint you can't say 'roast turkey and cranberry stiuce' in response to the first h.ii dezm remarks tb.it she makes without her noticing the fa'Jt." ' I never heard anything so perfectly absurd," replied Miss P. "However, I mi-t.tns well have that suit it's ju-;t too lovely for nnything so I'll just do it to teach you a lesson." " ftlind, now,'- said her father, as the front do;r bfcll tang, "You mustn't clmige your expression iu the least, and you must repeat the sentence in year usual voice and manner that U !o sy, in a single breath all tuu together as it were." Just then Miss Glucker.-on was shown into the parlor, and through the library door old P. could hear the usual oscu lafory peck exchanged, and Miss G. ex claim, without even the smallest comma in the whole remark r " Oh,' you lnz thing been hero a per fect age don't look at this hat ptriect fright going to have flowers set back and bow changed why wasn't you i.t matinee Harry was there." " Roast turkey and cranberry sauce," rapidly inserted Miss P., accompanying the words with liat preliminary and concluding gur'e with which it 1 women, for some occult reason, invarir bly adorn their conversation when de sirous of being aarreeable. "Going to Mrs. Blatlger's party ' continued Miss Giuckerson, with the serene rattle ot a brook over the peb bles. "Molly Smith is going they tell me she paints pa's promised lao a phaeton in the spring saw that hateful Mrs. Gappery on the street buff over skirt and green ruching just fancy." " Roast turkey and cranberry" "Oh, George Skidmore's mother's dead bury her next Sunday did you get that erging at Gimps' f" " Roast turkey and cran " " The girls at Clark's are to graduate next Thursday Jennie Giggles is going to be square cut with inside illusion and white kid boots can't you come round for dinner to-morrow and stay all" " Roast turkey and" "Night, and show Milly your new basque ? That man with a light over coat stared at me again yesterday Jim O'Neill is going East this candy's fright ful ftale." " Roast turkey" "Ma thinks Mrs. Brown ain't proper, those ferns are just too lovely look at these cuffs clean this moraine are my O'imps coming out yours aint Litue Skippen says you met Charlie Boggs the other nigh', and he said something nice abemt me tell me quick!" " Roast turk " " Why how perfectly absurd you are, Linda," interrupted the visitor, angrily, ' You don't listen to a word I say I was asking about Charles Boggs not roast turkey George Shelly thinks you're awfui nice now tell me what did be say good gracious I what are you hugging meforP" " And, Tilda." thoughtfully remarked Miss Pungleup, atter the matter had been explained and her father admitted that he had lost bv a scrstoh, " I be. lieve in my heart I bat if you hadn't thought about Charlie just then, shouldn't have had any new suit this winter." All of which goes to show that there is at least one subject upon which ono may hope to secure the temporary at tention of the inscrutable female mind. Sjt Franciico Pott. Famishing a Hornet If you wish to have your sui round ; ings make a good impression, with economy, there is but one short and easy rule to follow: Buy everything ot the simplestsort; get your stone china of the plainest shapes, eschew aeorn tops for your sugar-bowl, and scroll bandies for your tureens, and figured borders for plates. (Jet straight-legged chairs, with as little molding as the makers albw, buy your carpets and lounges of small nnd modest ficurings. don't get that vivid crimson carpet because it " looks warm," or you " ha ve an eye for color," or that red and white, or tho green and white panel pattern because it is the last out. Take the oldest, cheapest thing in the shop, if it is in taste and will look well with the rest of your belongines. So many old styles are coming up again that yours will have a chaneeof being modish any elay, and if they suit each other, they will please, in spite of the stylo of your immediate neiehborhood, which may be tho remnans of a city dealer's stock, out of date three years ago Havo plain bevels to the wood work oi your house, instead of beadines p.nd groovines which onlv hold tho du-t and swell the carpenter's bill. But in sist on deep window seats and low ba-e-board s,and don't allow any grain' d paint about your house. Plain paint, well varnished, looks better and keeps nice longer nnd doesn't always repeat ' I'm n sham, I'm a sham," like the pretended oak and walnut. Buy at second-hand, third-hand, restore paint and glue things yourself, nnu don't be afraid of honesi hand-finished pine without either paint or varnish. The prettiest effects in sum mer houses nre gained from yellow Georgia pine, and the white pine, fin ished with clear shellac. The simplest forms prevail in some of the new furni ture. An expensive oak dining table of newest pattern is square, with turned corners, nnd a support which is a square nillarwil.lt braces, plnin as the rudest Saxon could desire, but beautiful in its clear weiod, sand papered and hand fin ished to almost marble smoothness. Such a table sells for eighty dollars at the most fashionable makers in the city. A set of chairs with straight turned maple uprights and leg-, with basket seals nf the old pilgrim fashion, cush ioned with Momie cloth and f. igned and fni helowed arc pretty enough for any silting room, and such s.mple. original pieces give an air of taste ani research to a room worth any mere fashion. Shirley Dare. (ire.tsiiig the Sea. ''ho expression "to pour oii on the troubled waters" is generally regarded as n metaphor or figure of spe?ch, iilus fating the action of soma persuasive peacemaker.softening the angry passions ol tvontending disputants. On tho other hand, the mollifying influence of oleagin ous liquids upon the waves was long ago demonstrated as a scientific fact, and the equinoctial gales would probably have been kept in subjectiem ere now, on the high siv.s, but for theuncertain'y of ttic wrati.er and the estimated expense of oilinsr an area as limited even a-5 the bay of Biscay. It would appear, however, that a gentleman of Perth has solved t'ln problem of economy aj applied to greasing the se.i, nnd that in future ships may carry with them, at n com paratively trifling cost, a sufficient sup ply of oil to nullify the rigors of the thrce'st cyclone. A northern oemtem porary states that a series of experi ments have lately tak'n place in the north harbor, Peterhead, with tho most ?ntisfaetory results. The experimental ist filled some bottles full of t il and sank them to the bottom of the harbor while a gale was blowing. Presently the oil was released, anel, tioatii g to the top o: the raging billows, stilled them as if by a miracle. A- a consequence ol this experiment, it is thought in the neighborhood of Perth that cil can be laid m continuously by pipes to the bars of all exposed harbors, so as to enable vessels to gain port in sa'ety in the midst of the" most violent hurri canes. The invention would he invalu able if applied to the channel passage iu dirty A'oather. Day by day we are tiut;!it that there are no bounds to the conquest of science .ivr nature, and now that we can oil out tho guy wrinkles of the stormy ocean, we nceu not despair of b ing able, sooner or later, to -vai m the north pole with otlier wise waste steam and fertilize the great desert by artificial irrigation. London lel'-yraih. Snake mid Frog. M.my years ago, while in Ceylon, I 1: v il in a house in "Slave island," .aiscd on a high platform. The steps up to the door had hiome loosened, and bthiud them a cc;Lny of fro?s had established themselves. One m .ruing I wa'ched a snake (a. cobra) creep up, uuert its head into a ciackand seize a frog, which ho then and there swallowed Bat tho crack tha. admitted the thin flat head anet neck cf the ophidian would not permit of the same being withdrawn when the neck was swolleu with the addition of the frog insido it. The snake tugged and struggled, but in vain, and after a series of futile attempts dis g rged its prey and withdrew its head. But the sight was too tantalizing. Again the head was inscitcd in the crack ar d the coveted morsel swallowed, and ugain the vain struggles to withdraw were renewed. I saw this repeated Sev ern! times, till, gaining wisdom by ex perience, the snake seized tho frog by one leg, withdrew it lrom its coigne ol vantage and swallowed it outside. Nitwt. Length of the Human Step. At a recent sitting of the French Acad emy of Sciences, Monsieur Mrey read a very interesting paper, giving the re sult of his exneriments with a machine for measuring the length and rapidity of a man a stride in walking. Marty found that a numb r of circumstances modi fied the length of the step. The step is longer going uo hill than going eiown; longer for a man catrying a load than for one unloaded; longer with low heels i hau with high heels; and longer lor a man wearing thick soles aid those which preyed slightly beyond the toe than lor one wearing short and flexib e soles. It was found that while the lieel might be lowered indefinitely without detriment to the gait, the sole could nut be made perfectly rigid nor prolonged too far without interfering with the speed and ease of the wearer. Experi ence alone was able to determine the exact length and thickness necessary to produce the bust results.
