GOOD FOR TENNESSEE.

From the Nashville American.
No better evidence of the wonder
full prosperity of the South can be
found than the fact that the increase
of taxable property in Tennessee in
the last three years amounts to $780,
100000. Tennessee is setting a
lively pace, and the other States are
also coming up well. Such an in
crease is unprecedented.
New York World: Allan Forman,
editor of the Journalist, recently re-
turned from Europe, is longing for
the opening of the Florida season.
Mr.. Forman is an enthusiast regard
ing the Land of Flowers. "Ponce
de Leon did not find the Spring of
Eternal YOUTH" remarked Mr.. For
man recently, but his posthumous
glory is great. He has given name
to the finest hotel in the world"

Like and Unlike.

There are three things" said an
old philosopher, (which woman
should be like and at the same time
totally unlike.
I'm the first place she should be like
a snail, because the snail is always to
be found in his house And she
shouldn't resemble this singular crea-
ture, because he puts everything that
he has in the world upon his back.
Again, she should be like an echo,
because the echo speaks only when it
is spoken to, and unlike it, because
the echo is always bound to have the
last word.
"Once more, a woman should be
like the town clock, in that she should
keep regular hours, and be exact in
all things. And, unlike the town
clock, she should not let her tongue

RUSSIAN TAXATION.
ma Heavy Burden Laid Upon the Peas
ants Ii More Than They Can Bear.

ma Heavy Burden Laid Upon the Peas
ants L. More Than They Can Bear.
The burdens of the peasantry are
very heavy. In Russia the superior
classes enjoy many exemptions from
taxations, and the public revenue is
taken mainly from the peasant classes.
The annual redemption money they
have to pay to the state for their land is
. most serious obligation, and between
one thing and another the burdens on
the land in vast number of cases ex-
oeed its net return very considerably.
Professor Thun states that in 1000
cases of letting holdings which had
occurred in the province of Moscow at
the time he wrote the average rent re-
ceived was only rubles, Sc kopecks
per soul" Qand share while the
average taxation was 10 rubles, 80 ko-
pecks. Stepniak says that in thirty
seven provinces of European Russia
the class who were formerly state
peasants pay in taxes Of every descrip-
ton no less than 92.75 per cent. of the
average net produce of their land and
that the class who were formerly serfs
OF private owners pay as much as
1925 percent. of the net produce of
theirs.
Land owning on these terms is man
ifestly a questionable privilege, and
the moujik pays his land taxes as the
Scotch crofter has sometimes to pay
his rent, not out of the produce of his
holding, but out of the wages of his
auxiliary labor; but the Scotch croft
ter, under his system of individual
tenure, has one great resource which is
wanting to the other-he can always
out the knot of his troubles by throw
ing up his holding, if he chooses, and
emigrating
TO the Russian peasant emigration
brings'no relief. He is born propri-
etor and cannot escape the obligation
of his position wherever he may 90.
he may try to let his ground-and in
many cases he does-but, as we see,
he cannot often get enough rent to
meet the dues. He may leave he vii
Mge, if he will, but his village iabili-
ties travel with him wherever he may
settle. He cannot obtain work any
where in Russia without showing his
pass from his own cOmmune; and
since, under the principle of joint IL
ability that rules in the communistic
system, the members of the commune
who remain at home would have to
pay the emigrants arrears if he failed
to pay them himself, they are not
likely to renew the pass to a de
faulter.
The Russian peasants are thus near
ly as much adstricti gleba as they
ever were; they are now under the
power Of the commune as completely
as they were before under the power
of their masters, and their difficulty
is still how they can possibly obtain
emancipation. Sometimes they will
defy the commune, forego the advan
tage of Il lawful pass, crowd the
ranks of that large body in Russia
who are known as the illegal men,
and sometimes, we are assured, by
Professor Thun, a whole village

A SINGULAR CITY.
Oveg Thirty Thousand Happy People with
Neither shop, Artisan Nor Trade.


Neither shop, Artisan Nor Trade.
Lying between Assam and Burmah
is the remote little hill state of Mani
pur, lately visited by Indian officers,
one of whom, writing on the forests of
the state in Indian Forests, gives an ex-
traordinary account of Imphail, the
capital 1t is situated in what appears
dense forest
Neither spires nor chimneys cut
the blue sky, nor is smoke observed to
ascend from the sylvan scene of the
capital Nothing, in fact, bespeaks Of
the busy home of 10000 to 10000
people, and yet hidden away among
these trees is the palace of the raiah,
and hard by are the houses of his ia
vorites, each family having a large
inclosure around the homestead. I'm
phail may thus be described as city
of villages, or rather suburban resi-
dences, around the palace Straight,
wide roads, lined with trees. frequently
intersecting each other at right angles,
afford the means of communication,
but neither shop, artisan nor wheeled
conveyance exists in the city; indus
try and skill occur only in the distant
rural homes.
The people of the capital are the
promoted favorites of the ruler, who
have had assigned to them plots of
ground near the palace, and live by
pressing upon the prosecuted agricu1-
turists Of the state
The capital of Manipur is a royal
residence dedicated to luxury and
amusement. The streets are crowded
with smiling healthy faces, of which
few bear the marks of toll or labor.
There are no schools in the state, and
court favor and promotion are secured
by success in polo. Coinage is un-
known, and the men are not allowed
to trade; imports and exports, except
in certain articles that yield royal
revenue, are practically prohibited.
The women from the distant vii
lagos repair on certain day to the cap
ital or to other recognized centers.
Each carries on her head neatly made
square basket, in which has been
placed the surplus stock of the home
stead, the labors of her industrial
skill or of her husbands agricultural
knowledge. On reaching the market
place the contents of these baskets are
exposed and bartered, when each re-
turns again to her family, carrying of
the proceeds.
On market days the long, straight
road from Bishenpur to Imphail is
crowded by groups of women hurry
ing to and fro. Each wears an ele-
gantly striped dress in bright colors
made of silk and cotton. The stripes
run along the length, and top and bot
tom are neatly embroided a long piece
of cloth is cleverly carried across the
breast and just under the armpits, in
stead of round the waist, and is firmly
tucked up, SO that the top embroider-
ed edge falls forward, adding an adj
ditional fold to the garment, while the
bottom edge reaches little below the
knees The legs and arms are left ex-
posed The women are the only trad
ers in the whole state -London Times.

Put In the Law.

There is one other thing that ought
70 be made a penal offense, with a
minimum fine of at least 5000, with
imprisonment Of not less than six
months 1t is that of doubling the
statements of man who has been
afishing. Fish have been caught
ever since hooks were invented. The
fish were made to be caught. They
rather expect it. 1t is no trick at all
to catch fish. And yet as Jones re-
turns from his vacation he is stopped
and asked:
Been away2" Yes"
"Up northS" Yes"
Went fishing, l supposed" "Of
course"
Catch anythingl" Certainly"
Him. Caught some four Founders,
| plesumeI'
Yes; caught one which weighed
seven pounds,
HIM od-by!"
Jones not only caught one weigh
ing seven pounds, but a number
which weighed five and six pounds
apiece, but he dared not speak Of it.
Even with what he did say he felt
that the other man believed him to be
a liar. AS he walked on he felt be.
Titled and degraded and he made up
his mind to tell bold lie on the next
occasion and declare that he did not
even see a fish while he was gone.
Something should be done in this mat
ter, and it cannot be done too soon.
A man should be protected in telling
the truth as we'll as in life and limb
