Cattle Plague in England.

r The special London correspondent of the
New York Daily News, under date of Octo-
Der 3rd, says:
s.The cattle plague has assumed thc most
alarming proportions. Cows, oxen and sheep
are dying so fast that we must prepare for a
meat famine. The disease has spread to
some parts of Ireland All the efforts of
science are in vain. No remedy or an ap-
proach to remedy has been devised. All
that can be done is to bury the dead animals
as soon as possible. And to add to our dis
may the horses are now attacked. The
symptoms are precisely the same. The
plague seems to be communicated from ami
NAL to animal without distinction. Cattle,
sheep, horses and dogs communicate the
plague one to the other It is an awful Wis
itation, and do not wonder that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury is about to issue form
of prayer to be used in all churches, for nev-
er was the helplessness of man more apparent.
trust your authorities will take warning
and not permit any animals to be landed from
Europe until they have been subjected TO
long and rigid quarantine. Remember one
diseased horse or dog may augment plague
that will ruin all your focks and herds even
in distant States. Nothing is more wonder
fu and appalling than the rapidity with which
the disease travels Dc not call me an alar-
mist. Surely an earnest warning is called
for when prevention is the only cure"

was rather pretty and feminine in the face !;
but Miss Sedgwick, Miss Pardue, Miss Les

had forehead as high as that Of an intellec-

We desire to call the attention of our reads
ers to the following prevalent mistakes:
1t is mistake 70 suppose that the sub
seription price Of the newspaper is clear gain
to the Publisher.
It is a mis take to suppose it is printed
without cost
It's mistake to suppose that he gets his
white paper for nothing.
It is mistake to suppose that he can live
bodily by faith.
Ii is mistake to suppose that it is an easy
thing to please everybody.
1t is mistake to suppose that a paper is
not worth buying which contains only what
We know and believe already.
1t is mistake to suppose that money due

It is a mistake to believe that we would

How TO COMPUTE THE INCOME Tax
Some persons who have not read the law,
suppose that FIVE per cent. is the rate assessed
upon all incomes, without regard to the
amount. This is incorrect. The law re-
guires that all incomes over six hundred and
not exceeding five thousand dollars, shall be
taxed at the rate of five per cent, and the
excess over five thousand at the rate of ten
per cent If an individuals income be five
thousand dollars per annum, the six hundred
dollars exempted by law is deducted, and the
remaining forty-four hundred assessed at the
rate of FIVE per cent. If the income be ten
thousand dollars, the rate will be FIVE per
cent. on forty-fnur hundred, and ten per cent.
on the remaining five thousand dollars.
