OUR LAWYERS,

The lawyers, time out of mind,
have been held up as dodgers OF
obligations, and smart, with an
injellection, implying something more
than smart, or different, at least,
if not crooked. AS matter of fact,
lawyers handle more money without
deficit than any other class as largely
trusted, and their political and in
tillectual record, particularly the
latter stands absolutely first.
That so able body Of men should
suffer from the imposition of a tax
palpably unfair and not uniform,
is a matter of wonder.
That man with a $500 practice
should pay tax equal to the
practitioner with a $4,000 income
is so obviously unequal that one would
suppose a legislature with, any
considerable number of lawyers
among the members, never would
have passed such law. The next
wonder is that a supreme court of
lawyers-if they be such crooked
people-would ever have sustained it,
and the last wonder is that there is
not further effort made to get rid of
the tax

1t acts by establishing perfect circulation
in the capilaries of the entire skin, removing
congestion, and at the same time depurating
the, blood of all poisonous and etfete matter,
thus renovatng the organic nervous system
and vitalizing the functions. During the en-
tire time of bathing the person is completely
protected from the inhalation of etfete matter
and poisonous inhalation from his own body
or the bodies of other bathers.
Inc submerging OF the body in water ar

the application of water in sprays as in this
bath, the elimination of etfete matter is rapid

Mall Gazette, renders it one of the
most nutritious as it is one of the
most palatable grains in the world,

the fact that it now commands better

N those markets may fairly be hoped
to show steady if not the same strik-
ing progression that it has done

took place in the foreign shipping at
Hiogo during 1888 is largely due to
the export of rice, and British ships
have been peculiarly favored, while

Miss Kicr was both frightened and cX.

by u spontaneous cheer from the people
