In Mississippi patent has been OBJ.
tained for method of collecting taxes
upon drinks which is far better than the
Moffet or Clarke register. Books OF
coupons are sold by the State Auditor
to all liquor dealers. When drink is
sold the consumer receives a coupon,
which entities HIM TO receive from the
State, in payment of his taxes, one cent.
If Two drinks are to be paid for he re-
ceives an orange-colored coupon good
for two cents. If five drinks, blue
paper good tor five cents. Not only does
the State enjoy an income from the tax
on drinks, but the consumer has Il rea.
sonable chance Of .paying off his taxes
with the orange and blue coupons. The
saloons are crowded at all times with
men making out their taxes.

A poor woman lay very ill in her
scantily furn shed home IN Sheflie d,
England. The doctor was sent tor and
came. He at once saw that ners was a
very grave case, and thai she had, as he
thought, little chance Of recovery even
II she could get tue nourisnment her ill
ness required. AS he was about t. leave
the question was put, "When should W @
senu Tor you again, doctorW "Well,"
was the reply, as he looked at the poor
woman and then at her Wretehed sur
roundlngs, ~ don't think you need send
for me again. Sne can not possibly get
better; and to save you lurtner trouble,
Pll just Write you out Il certfi ficate for

doctor departed the woman got better
apidly. She has now completely re-
covered, and goes about carrying her
burial Certificate with her. At least so
says the Snetii I'D Telegraph.
