PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATIONS.

Communities Where No One Pays Taxes
and Everybody Has Pension.
| Prof de Laveleye in Contemporary Review:
In the course of last summer. while in
Switzerland and Baden, l visited several
villages where each family is supplied
from forests belonging to the commune
with wood for building purposes and for
fuel; also with pasturage for their cattle
and with a small plot of ground on which
to grow potatoes, fruit and vegetables.
In addition to this. the wages of all
public servants are paid for from the
communal revenue, SO that there is no
local taxation whatever.
l may mention. as an example, the
township of TIrdenstadt, at the foot
of the Kniebis, in Baden. Not a single
farthing of taxation has been paid since
| its foundation in 1867. The commune
possesses about 5000 acres of pine forest
anG meadow land, worth about s1O, 900
sterling. The 1,420 inhabitants have
each as much wood for their building
purposes and firing as they wish for,
and each one can send out to pasture,
during the summer, his cattle, which he
feeds during the winter months. The
schools, church, thoroughfares and foun-
tains are all well cared for, and every
year considerable improvements are
made. One hundred thousand marks
were employed in 1883 for the establish
ment in the village of distribution of
water with iron pipes. A hospital has
been built and pavilion in the market
place, where band plays on fete days.
Each year distribution of the surplus
revenue is made among the families and
they each obtain from fifty to sixty
marks, or shillings, and more still when
an extraordinary quantity of tim Der has
been sold. In 1882 $4,000 marks were
distributed among the 1,42O villagers.
What favored country, is it not?
Suppose that these woods and mead
ows and this land all belonged to land
ed proprietor instead of to the commune,
he would go and lavish the revenue in
large capitals or in travelling. What an
immense difference this would make to
the inhabitants! To appreciate this it
suffices merely to compare the condition
of the Highland crofters, the free citi-
zens of one of the richest countries of
the world. and whose race has ever been
laborious, with that of the population
of these villages. hidden away in the
Alpine cantons Of Switzerland or in the
gOrges of the Scotland rentals had been
as in these happy communes of Switzer-
land and Baden, partly reserved for the
inhabitants and partly employed in OBJ
jects of general utility, how very differ
emit would have been the lot OF these
poor people! Had they but been allowed
to keep for themselves the sea weed and
the help which the sea brings them,
how far better off would they have been
than they now are, as is admirably
proved in Mr.. Blackie's interesting
book, The Scottish Highlanders."

WINTER WHEAT.


Tho Farmers Review On the Prospects-
Files Doing Damage.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The following will
appear in this weeks Farmers Re-
view: The reports Of our crop cor
respondents indicate that the general
condition of winter wheat in Illinois is
good but in many sections is badly
infested by the Hessian fly. This is
especially the case with the early sown
wheat The crop is improving under
late rains In Iowa very little winter
wheat has been sown and in some coun-
ties very little advance has been made
until recently on account of dry wealth
er. In other localities the crop is look
ing we'll. Missouri reports an increased
average. The general condition through
out the State is good. Kansas has q
great increase in her acreage of wheat
Few complaints Of the Hessian fly are
heard In large number Of counties
the early sown wheat is fair and the late
sown is in very good condition and
growing rapidly. Michigan reports
good increase in her acreage, and the
crop is in generally prosperous condi-
ton In Kentucky about the same
amount Of winter wheat was sown as
last year. That sown early is reported
in good condition while the late sown
has not yet come up In fact some are
not yet done sowing. The condition Of
the crop is poor. Few flies and plenty
of water are reported. Reports from
Indiana are dlscouraging. The early
sOwn wheat looks we'll and that sown
more recently is in medium condition.
The acreage this year is considerably
increased over last year. In Ohio the
increase in acreage is small but the crop
is reported good from nearly all seq
tons Wisconsin has quite an increased
acreage of wheat sown. The condition
is good. We summarize the report Of
condition of winter wheat as compared
with an average as follows: Illinois 9S
Iowa IS. Missouri 80, Kansas 81. Michi-
gan IS. Kentucky S. Indiana 90, Ohio
o. and Wisconsin 95."

Navajo Indians were here yesterday
from their reservation in the southern

their actions they are greatly excited
over the reports from Dakota and it
would take but little to induce them to
join the Sioux. They would talk but
little and claimed to have some COM

hearing of the last person you talked 70
while you were @. Fassett ESQ.,, say
/ aloud the last words you used before this
spell came over you"
Qui waited impatiently many days for
the builder to come to his house. he
was we'll fed now and had something
better than the bare limb of tree for
bed, for the little girl took excellent
care of him: but often enough he feared
that he would not see the builder until
the family returned to the city and then
he would have to remain crow ali WIN
ter. But one day. to his great JOY, he
saw the builder coming up the walk.
His daughter had him in her arms at the
time, and before she could grasp him
tightly his wings were spread and he
was away Up over the tree he went
and then down upon the lawn where he
had thrown himself in the early sum-
mer. He lost no time. for he feared
the builder might get out of his hearing,
and opening his bill to the utmost he
croaked:
.-Oh dear. oh dear! shall ever be able
to sell those lots.''
But it was not croak. It was the
veritable voice of Q. Fassett, Esq, and
there stood Qui in MS own proper per-
son.
"My God" calculated the builder.
Mr.. Fassett's little girl never saw her
pet crow again.
Though there are many mysterious
disappearance recorded in the police
archives, few are ever explained. Some
attempts at explanation have been
made, but they are mainly speculative.
The most plausible speculation OF this
kind was elaborated by journalist
few years ago. who attributed these dis
appearances to holes in space, into
which the victims accidentally tumble,
and are forever afterward invisible, in
tangible, immortal and incapable of
escaping. The mystery of Qui Fassett's
is truthfully given here.
His case may be an isolated one, but it
is wholly improbable that transforma-
tons such as his occur, and that the vic
inns are helpless for want OF the aid of
some intelligent and friendly cat?
