nnreasoning and ignorant cry
against capital appears In some.
The constitution of California pro-
vides that all property in the State
shall be subject to taxa
ton, and names as property,
moneys, credits, bonds, stocks, dues,
franchises = and other
matters and things capable of
private ownership, but spe-
officially exempts growing crops.
As this constitution was made
and adopted at time when
the granger movement was partlcu-
larly strong and feeling was most
violent and active against capital, it
is not a matter of surprise that farm
ers exempted their peculiar property,
nor, that property generally owned
by capitalists was taxed two or three
times over As might have been ex
pected, immense volumes of capital
were withdrawn from the State, and
when hard times followed the Chin
csc were charged with being the sole
cause Of the trouble. Taxes have
never been popular in the United
States, and the subject has received
but scant consideration, if measured
by its Importance. As a consequence
the whole matter is in a somewhs t
crude condition as compared with
the revenue system of most Euro
pean states Most of the national
revenue is derived from indirect tax
alton, in the shape of duties, by
means of which the payment is wide
ly distributed, and though wasteful
and expensive method, it is an easy
one, as very few feel that while buy
ing a pair of shoes, a yard of silk, or
pound of sugar, they are paying
taxes, and heavy ones.
Though Adam Smiths conclusions
and reasonings are disputed, his four
maxims regarding taxation are still
the basis of most of the present the
cries. They are in brief:
LIST. The subjects Of the State ought
to contribute to the support of gov
eminent as nearly as possible in pro
portion to their respective abilities
I'd. The tax of each individual
ought to be certain in amount and
time of payment.
Sd. Every tax ought to be levied
at the time or in the manner most
likely to be convenient to the ia,
payer.
4th. Every tax ought to be so con
trived as to take out and keep out
of the pockets of the people as little
as possible, over and above what i,
put into the treasury.

A Perplexed Preacher.

An old preacher, after service one
Sunday, announced his reading for the
following Sunday. During the week,
some mischievous boys obtained his
Bible and pasted two Of the leaves to-
gether, right where he was to read.
Sunday morning coming, the aged
divine opened his book, and read as
follows: And Noah took unto him
self a wife who was"-and here he
turned the leaf-'forty cubits broad,
one hundred and forty cubits long"
With look of establishment, he wiped
his glasses, re-read and verified the
passage, and then said: ''My friends,
although l have read the Bible many
times, this is the first time l have ever
seen this passage, but I take it as an
other evidence of the fact that man is
most fearful ly and wonderfully made. I"

Momentum of the Suns.

Think of the momentum of the sun,
weighing as much as $50, 900 earths,
and darling through space at the tate
Of million miles dayl But there
are hundred million other suns visi-
BILE in the heavens, each weighing at
least as much as our sun, and all in
motion, with a velocity in some cases
far exceeding his. Add up the sum
of their combined energy Of motion,
and the imagination staggers before
the living force of the universe. The
power stored up in an express train is
sufficient to shatter the train to pieces
if its motion is suddenly arrested. But
stop those smooth running suns and
universal space would return to chaos
with the shock.-Boston Budget.

turned to the appeals of the miser-
able and oppressed people who were
subject to the exactions of these ir-
responsible tax-gatherers. This
form of tax collecting still exists in
many parts of the Turkish domains
and doubtless in other parts of Asia,
and IN Africa; anywhere, indeed,
where just laws do not control.
Ihe subject of taxation is touched
upon incidentally in Luke ii. in the
account OF Joseph's journey to Beth
lehem. The tax, referred to, which
was borne also by the women. was a
capltatlon tax. The Roman system
OF taxation varied with different
periods of history, but on the whole
was In theory more nearly equitable

There is a great deal of doubt about a
number of things in this world, but it
seems to be accepted as a fact in Wash
ington that the vice president has three
beautiful and complicated wigs with
which he goes forth into the world to de-
ceive mankind. The wigs are a source
of profound study and earnest thought
on the part Of both Mr.. Morton and his
valet. The first wig is short, the second
is of al average length and the third
was made with cunning and deceptive
ingenuity by a schemer. This last wig
gives an absolutely triumphant illustra-
ton of hair which has been allowed to
grow too long. 1t is said that the surest
way TO Mr.. Morton's heart is to remind
him that his hair needs cutting.
One should always be careful, how
ever, to make this remark when the
vice-president is wearing wig No. 8.
After several people have told him that
his hair needs cutting he anudes to it
himself in a careless way, and then
makes some mysterious allusion about
having the barber in the morning. The
following day he appears in wig No. 1,
presenting the appearance of a close
cropped and thoroughly well groomed
statesman. These things are eagerly
discussed in Washington. where the af-
fairs of state are of no importance COM
pared to the small talk of the day.-New

Harrington, Neb., Aug. Il.-An affair
that will materially retard the growth OF
the woman suffrage, idea in Nebraska
has just occurred in Dakota county.
County Clerk Twohig recently made a
business trip East. and during his absence
the robe of official duties fell upon the
shoulders OF Miss Lou Hirsh, his charm
ing deputy. A day or two after his
departure james Teller, an odd character
IN the county, drove up to the clerk Office
with a lot Of ground squirrel scalps and
ears, and represented to the innocent and
confidinR lady that they were the ears OF
wolves which he had slaughtered in the
country.
The un~suspecting lady official promptly
paid into the honest appearing hunters
hands the legal bounty for wolf scalps-
s. a head-amounting in all to con
siderably over SEQ. Teller Immediately
emigrated to South Dakota. 1t was
not until the return of Clerk Twohig that
the trick was discovered and Sheriff
Ryan was sent after the wiley hunter.
Teller was arrested at Elk Point, Dakota,
and was brought back and lodged in the
county Jail. AS a result of this affair a
voters league is being organized that will
require candidates to pledge themselves
not to employ women deputies until they
can tell the difference between q gopher's
hide and a VOLTS ear.

TiIlamook lighthouse, which stands
on u lonely rock eighteen miles below
the Columbia river on the stormy Ore
gon coast, was the scene last week of an
exciting fight for life between Jour help
ers and the acting keeper, who suddenly
became a raving mA1iac. This light
house Ia notorious for Its loneliness, a it
covers nearly all the rock, and there is no
chance when the sea is rough Of reach
ing shore, and no opportunity at any
time to take recreation. In winter the
keeper is frequently a close prisoner for
weeks, as the waves wash clean over the
rock and lighthouse, which is over 100
feet above the sea. Two years ago rocks
weighing our tons were cast up by the
side of the lighthouse, the glass smashed
and the foundations of the house shaken
so that it had to be secured by addition
al iron bolts of large size.
For four years ]. Saour, a very meth
odical German, has been the assistant
keeper. Other men changed, being un-
able to endure tho frightful monotony
of life on the rocks, but he remained
cheerful and contented. Recently, how
ever, he began to indulge in fits of tenn
per, and suddenly one day, with a
scream of rage, he came dashing out of
the lighthouse brandishing a large III
ing knife and swearing he would kill
one Of his helpers. Tho terrified man
shouted for help, and his three compan-
ions responded. After a very long and
desperate fight Saour was overcome.
Bis hands and feet We're bound, and he
vas locked in a room. Signals were
then displayed, and aid was sent by the

OTTAWA. Aug. 11.-Advices received
by the government from Southern Al
berta. Northwest Territory, are to the ef-
feet that the Mormons who came into
that country from Utah are corrupting
the Indians with their doctrines. The
government has been to great pains to
impress on the Indians the necessity OF
monogamy, and refused them supplies
for more than one wife, but the Mormons
are teaching them the many SO called ad-
vantages of a multiplicity of wives. There
is every indication that the Mormon evil
in the West is liable to grow into q seri.
ous difficulty.

The season for picnics makes us glad
to know of any little delicaciss which
will travel well, 80 Ihope the following
will be of use: Ingredients required are
one pound of cold chicken, one slice of
ham and a little gelatine. Boil the
chicken bones in a quart Of water for
five hours, add the ham, and boil till the
liquor is reduced to half a pint. Let it
get cold, and if the paste be not sufi-
GENTLY thick add gelatine and boil
again. Spread on bread that has been
buttered very slightly, then add slices
of chicken seasoned with salt and pep
per, and put another slice Of bread on
top.
Lobster mold is an excellent dish.
Chop up n good sized lobster. and sea-
son with mace, salt and pepper. Rub
two of butter into one ounce Of
bread crumbs, beat up three eggs, pound
all the ingredients we'll together and
boil in a buttered mold for an hour.
Before being packed it should be STOOD
upon some ice, SO that it is thoroughly
cold.-Julian Ralph in Chatter.
