The following clipping from the col
umns of the New York World, of We'd
nesday, January 20, shows how that
great journal looks upon land grabbing.
The Single Tax would be just about the
medicine to cure Illinois of Allerton and
his kind of parasites who fatten off of
the labor of the community and deprive
poor men of the opportunity to make
living:
ssIt was natural that the World should
assume that Samuel w. Allerton, of
Illinois. was relativelya poor man when
he was brought forward as a farmer and
farmers candidate for the United
States Senate. But it appears that Mr..
Allerton is not that kind of a farmer.
He has never yet, like so many who fol-
low that avocation in the West, sat up
to ponder over list of his mortgages and
other debts by the light of burning corn.
Mr.. Allerton is the possessor of 10000
acres of land and barrel that holds
millions. A land-grabbing monopolist
of this sort is quite as Objectionable III
politics as railroad wrecker. The lat
ter simply cheats fellow gam blers and
buys venal voters. The former deprives
poor men of the ownership of land. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr. Allerton is not the sort OF
man to make a valuable reinforcement
to the Senate"

all add to the improvement value Of .his
farm at least 81, 300 more. The cost of
pulling stumps, draining, picking stone,
ETC., have also to DE deducted, as we'll
as the value of the land used for high
way purposes; and for all this we may
fairly allow S25 an acre more.
Adding these items we find the value
of the improvements on our $4,000 farm
to be S7,S $50, or, in round numbers, $500,
leaving the land value of the farm 81 200,
and on this latter sum the George sys-
tenn proposes to tax the farmer up to its
full rental value. You would pay, there
fore, on your farm land value tax of
four per cent on $1,000, or $40 in all.
You now pay sos.
ALLOWING for local variations, the
farmer will pay about from five to thirty
per cent less taxes than he does now.
If that is depressing the farmer, you can
tyranize over him by the bushel and he
will grow fat under it,
'Well, that seems to be so,'' replied
Mr.. Gray, with an increasing respect for
his sons logic; ''but how about the
holders of really valuable vacant lots in
they could not afford to keep them"
''Unimproved, no! But when they did
improve them they would not pay cent
more for their enterprise. They would
be compelled to use them or allow others
to take them who would. In that case
labor would be employed to improve.
and the great army of unemployed labor
set to work. At the same time that still
greater army of men who work only part
of the time-on short hours, or a por-
ton of the year-would find the in
creased demand for their products Civ
ing them work to do all the time, and
they would be able to buy more and
more of the farmers produce, thus ex-
tending his market"
"But wouldn't there be lot of ger
productions said Jem.
''There is no such thing as over pro-
duction, but there is, and should not be,
an inequality of distribution, which this
system of taxation will remedy. For by
exempting improvements you leave to
each all his labor produces, and by tax
ing land up to its fnll rental value you
give to all what is the result of the
growth, the labor and capital of the COM
munity. Put the unemployed men on
the idle land, father, and they will pro-
duce and consume, and then their
poverty will cease"
Johns father sat long after breakfast
that morning over his pipe and news
paper; but he did not read mucn. He
was thinking of what John had said
about the idle lot and the idle men, and
wondering if putting the two together
would not help to abolish poverty.

apples. the rind of one lemon; also add
the Juice of the lemon; one cupful OF
sugar and one egg. Stir it well to-
gether, heat enough to cook the egg and
spread between layers of sponge cake.

cayenne, and sufficient beaten eggs to
thicken the mixture. Simmer. stirring
one way. When hot and sufficiently
thick serve on slices of buttered toast
Good Housekeeping.
Lemon Custard: A nice dessert for
early spring, before berries are ripe,
and after one is tired of pies and hot
buildings, may be made with two
lemons, six eggs, three teacupfuls OF
sugar, tablespoonful of butter, five
tablespoonfuls of corn starch and four
teacupfuls of water.-Home and Farm.
Chicken Pudding: Cut up spring
chicken and cook tender in little wa
ter. Take up, spread on dish, season
with pepper, salt and butter. Make
thick batter. Butter a pudding dish
and put layer of chicken in, and pour
over a cupful of butter. Bake and serve
with butter-sauce in gravy boat

-Custard Cakes: Take one cup OF
sugar, one egg, butter size of butter
nut, one cup of sweet milk, one tea
spoon of cream of tartar, half a teaspoon
of soda, little grated nutmeg. one and
a half cups of flour; bake quickly in
three cakes. For the filling take half
a pint of sweet milk, two tablespoons of
sugar; heat it to the boiling point and
thicken with two heaping teaspoons of
corn starch. just before taking it off
the fire, beat in the yelk of an egg.
When it is cold flavor to taste and
spread it between the cakes Then
take the white of an egg and frost the
top.-Household.
Chocolate Tafy: One and one-half
cups sugar, one and one-half cups mo-
lasses, one cup milk, in which is dis
solved two large spoons of flour or corn
starch, two squares grated chocolate,
one-half cup butter. Boil, until it is
hard, in water, stirring as little as pos
sible (but remember that it scorches
very easily, and be careful not to let it
stop boiling until DONE or it will sugar.
Cool it in shallow pans, and mark of
nicely in squares.-Yankee Blade.
Madeira Vine in the House.-In May
put the bulbs into the hanging pots in
which they are to pass the following
winter. Set in the shade, and water oc-
casionally, keeping them back to get
them thoroughly accustomed to their
surroundings. Bring them in in Sep

little artificial fertilizer and liberal
watering. They are hard drinkers"
BY this treatment they grow readily in

Tired and cross is a common ex-
preston, and most of us know what it
means. A most agreeable woman says
that when she finds herself getting
''tired and cross" she takes a nap, a
bath, a walk or drive, goes to see some
one whose walk in life is less pleasant
than her own-does any thing different
from the work that has tired and wor-
ried her. In this way she preserves
health and temper, governs we'll her
children, and keeps her entire household

FASHIONS FOR SUMMER.

Bits of Information for Ladies' Who Like
to Dress Well.
The new color, rhododendron, is very
beautiful.
Ribbon in rows is much used on spring
dresses of soft light wool
Very elegant camel's-hair fabrics are
imported with brocaded borderings in
richly-shaded silks. Those in gray
mahogany and reseda are particularly
attractive.
A sash of MORE, or of satinbordered
surah or faille, accompanies very many
of the stylish gowns designed for car
riage or visiting wear, and among the
charming house toilets for afternoon
are those of finest French challi, with,
for example, a cream ground, brocaded
with forest violets Added to the dress
are sash of violet MORE and also.
zouave jacket, girdle, standing collar,
and cuffs of the silk.
Among dainty toilets for bridesmaids
are those of Liberty silk and crepe de
Chine, in white, lime-leaf green, prim-
rose yellow and hedgerose pink. The
slightly pointed, sleeveless bodice and
full skirts are joined, and an immense
ly wide Empire sash of the silk is
draped over the line of joining and tied
in full loops at the back, the ends being
as long as the gown.
The fashion of matching the bonnet
with the gown, while still in great
vogue, is not SO obligatory as formerly.
The bonnet should, however, ALWAYS be
consistent with the costume and the oc-
casion, but every day gives proof that it
is not.
A large portion of the new dress
models for next season are opponents of
the infinite variety of which the Di-
rectoire and Empire styles are suscepti-
ble and the quaint and charming SIM
plicity of the majority of the fresh
creations in summer gowning. with
their pretty waists, straight full skirts
and picturesque collars, berthas and
sleeves, the sashes and broad-brimmed
hats, is easily traced to portraits of that
period.
The popular dress sleeves have more
or less fulnesS ON the shoulders while
very many are in the genuine lego
mutton shape, long and close from elbow
to wrist and upon rich gowns finished
with a fall of real lace. The bishop
variety, with a cuff of greater or less
length, will be a favorite style all sum-
mer for lace, net, muslin, and light dia-
phanous fabrics of every description.
All-black toques, hats, and bonnets,
or black hats with color introduced in
the trimming, preferably in delicious
French flower wreaths and montures.
still retain their vogue for dressy wear.
Leading eolors that run through all
grades of fine millinery are the yellow
tints from cream to buttercup, green
from the whitish >sDanish rose green.
and salad to moss and myrtle, includ-
ing in the range the yellow tints, and
those of the lizard or blue-green shades.
There are score of lovely gray dyes
and the roseate colors deepen from
cameo and sea-shell to the dark English
rose that is almost red.-N. Y. Post.

AT Rome Stanley will be presented in
the railway carriage with a gold med al
by the Italian Geographical Society.
The Geographical Society of Brussels
sent him formal address of congra tu-
latlon. Tonight there is some sort of
big movement on foot. Stanley will
meet Sir William Mackinnon, of the
Emln relief committee, at Cannes.
In conclusion Stanley said that he
had analysed every one in his new book,
and had not SACRIFICED the truth to po-
likeness. surgeon Parke, who is a
handsome, athletic fellow, refused to
talk, as he was under contract not to
speak until Stanley's book is published.
Stanley left for Cannes on the night
train. He will meet King Leopold in
Brussels. What is more natural than
he should talk to Lord Salisbury when
he goes to London Immediately after
ward? The correspondent of the Inde-
pendent Beige telegraphs tonight that
he had good reason to believe that
King Leopold wants Stanley back in
the Congo State, and that England also
wants him in East Africa. That is tho
| way the thing stands at this moment, and
King Leopold is so anxious to do the
great explorer honor that he will not
| attend the special performance of Sala-
mo in Brussels, so that the whole ap.
| plause will go to Stanley.

Enjoys Everything.

short, and because he was very COM
Portable sort of a Murphy. Cozy Muir
ply owned land in Tipperary; but as he
had an agent in Tipperary to collect his
rents and evict his tenants when they
did not pay, he himself lived in Dublin,
as being the most comfortable place.
And he concluded at length, that the
most comfortable place in Dublin, in
fact the most comfortable place in
the whole world, was-in bed. So he
went to bed and stayed there for nearly
eight years; not because he was at all
i'll, but because he liked it. He ate his
dinners, and drank his wine, and
smoked his cigars, and read, and played
cards, and received visitors, and verified
his agents accounts, and drew checks
all in bed. After eight years Lying in
bed, he grew tired of it, got up, dressed
himself, and for some years went
around like other people, and then died.
But his family were just as we'll off as
though he had never gone to bed-in
fact, they were better off; for while his
income was not whit diminished by
his going to bed, his expenses were.
This was typical landowner-a
landowner pure and simple. Now let
the farmer consider what would become
of himself and family if he and his boys
were to go to bed and stay there, and he
will realize how much his interests as a
laborer exceed his interests as a land

THE SHARP COLONY.
An Eighteenth Century Enterprise That
Flourishes at the Present Time.

An Eighteenth century enterprise IhaC
Flourishes at the Present Time.
A number of slaves, who had claimed
their freedom in England, were begging
and starving about the streets of Lon
don, and, after consultation with some
of the men themselves, Sharp deter
mined to send number of settlers to the
coast of Africa. In 1886 about four hum
dred negroes were thus sent out to ST.
ezra Leone, with about sixty Europe
ans, chiefly women A grant of land
was obtained from neighboring chief,
but from it's very infancy the little col
ony was beset with numerous difficult
ties. Disease broke out on board ship
before the settlers had even landed, and
worse still, most Of the Euro peans were
induced by the offer of high wages to
take service wit the slave dealers.
Things were going from bad to worse,
when Sharp sent out, principally at his
own expense, another ship with supplies
for the colonists, and he subsequently
succeeded in forming joint stock COM
pany for the purpose of trading with
Sierra Leone. 1t is in the course OF
these transactions that we first find him
corresponding with Williams Wilber-
force, who was afterward the champion
of the slaves in the House of Commons.
After some difficulties and delays,
government charter was obtained for
the ''St. Georges Bay Company" as it
was called, and in spite of molesta tons
from slave dealers and native chiefs,
and d most wanton raid in 1894 from a
French fleet. the colony founded by
Granville Sharp has survived, and -four

In special dispatch from Aberdeen,

In a special dispatch from Aberdeen,
Miss, to the Memphis appeal the fol-
lowing paragraphs follow each other:
Unusual interest was shown here to-
day in the purchase of lands sold by the
sheriff as delinquent fer taxes. The
list of lands offered for sale was not SO
large as heretofore.
A SHINY attended meeting of white
renters of farming lands was held at the
court house to formulate and present
their grievances against the landlords
of this county.
1t is altogether probable that such a
meeting was slimly attended but the
mere attempt to hold it shows that a
new era is dawning in the South and
that economic questions are coming to
the front. The processes that are at
last forcing cur northern farmers to
think are becoming operative in the
South and public attention there cannot
be forever monopolized by the eternal
negro question.
