ing or title, but by taxation Of land according to its
value and not according TO its area; to devote to
common and benefit those values which arise, not
from the exertion of the Individual, but from the
growth Of society, and abolish all taxes industry
and its products. The National Executive Committee

The City OF Siberia.

IL l were asked to characterize Omsk

largest building is military academy

newspaper nor public library, and
in which one-half the population wears

ness of governing the other half. The
nature of the relations between the lat

from the fact that an intelligent and
reputable citizen OF this chinovnik de.
nominated city, who had been kind and
useful TO US, said 10 me when he bade

find it necessary to speak OF me by

A SlOrenIy HOnsekeeper.

A man in New Jersey'hung himself
the other day because his wife was a
slovenly housekeeper. What good op-
portunities millions of wives and moth
ers lose by not being in reality, as in
name. the queen OF their homes. In
stead of being directors, they are board
ers. They are comparative strangers
to their own kitchen, and are poor in
structors to the ignorant help they have
often 20 depend upon to prepare daily
food. Thousands of divorces have
come from dyspepsia and disease, which
would never have occurred had the
wife and mother understood the respon-
sibility of her position. II man who
is daily fed OF bread reek:ng with lard
and salAratus, and meats poorly cooked
and coffee which you could not tell
from tea, or tea which makes one wish
for coffee-if such a man don't lie, and
steal, and abGse his family. he deserves
credit. 1t Is not poetical view of life,

There is not woman in the land who
cannot learn all that will make her pro-
fcient as an actor or director in her

Kissing in Sweden.

Tie most surprising freedom prevails
among the loGer classes, and. for that
matter, 1t is openly limited at Carlstead
among the aristocracy as well, pro-
miscrous kissing being INDUCED in
nfon every occasion. more especially at
hotels, where it is expected that upon
settling ones bill the chambermaid and
waitress who attended :he traveller
must be both kissed before the entire
company. This peculiar custom was
trying to my companion, who upon
every occasion chose rather to incur the
disp!easure of the young ladies than
TO sanction practice that can lead to
no good result.
