They regard this year's figures as a step backward, since last year's deficit was only $24.- 000,000. Preliminary figures for the year, which are subject to some readjust ments, place estimated receipts at $600.600.000 and obligations and ex penditures at $649.371.000. leaving an operating deficit of $48,771,000, from which is deducted $11.622.000 for out standing liabilities and for civil serv ice retirement transfer.

"Great pleasures” were scarce In bls life mid not nearly so frequent a» "great jMilns.” In fact.

Hume Is bent known as a historian and philosopher. Ill» best known works are an "Inquiry Concerning the Principle» of Morals," ami a "History of England,” the first written In a philosophic vein while the latter Is purely historic. In the year 1754 Hume published the first part of hl» "His tory of England," hut It wn» not until 17H1 that he completed It. Ill» "Inquiry Lnto the Principles of Moral»” was written nnd published In the year 1752.

In addition to the royalties lie received from the publication of the book, he received n pension from the government heeauae of the reputation It made for him. Hume was born April 2<I, 1711, reck oning the years by the old style calen dar then In vogue. In 1711 he became secretary to General St. cinlr and trav eled with him to the courts of Vienna nnd Turin on behalf of the British gov ernment. In this cnpnclty he procured much valuable mnterlal which win Inter used In writing his history.
