Does Taxation Rear Equally.

1t has been said that taxation To build rail-
roads is equitable in that it bears equally ON
all, according to the benefits conferred.
Does practical experience prove TINS 10 DC
true?
Take for instance. the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern road \ tax was voted Ill thiS
township tor the benefit Of the road. t.acll
Citizen then, will have 10 pay pro rata share
of taxes.
Personal property will not be in any. way
benefited. Only lands and houses VIII DC
subject to improvement in price. Those who
own no land can receive no benefit from the
rise in lands and houses.
Some lands will be greatly enhanced i'll
value, while others will receive but little en-
hanccmcnt. c
One lot in town was recently sold for four
times its value before work was commenced
on the road. while the great majority OF lois
will receive but nominal increase in value.
Some lot owners gave the right of way, ami
the increase of market value will be offset by
the damage to the lot.

BAD MANAGEMENT-Som many young
means No wonder they early come
to ruin. The young clerk marries and
takes a house, which he proceeds to
furnish us expensively as he can afford,
and then his wife, instead of trying to
help him earn livelihood, by doing
her own work, must have servant to
help her spend his earnings. Ten
wears afterward he will be found strug-
Cling on under double load of debts
and children, wondering why the luck
was always running against him, while
his friends regret his unhappy destitu-
ton of financial ability. Had they
from the first been frank and honest,
he need not have been so unlucky.
Tie world is full of people who can't
imagine why they don't prosper like
their neighbors, when the real obstacle
is not in banks, turifis, bad public pol
icy or hard times, but their own ex-
travagance and needless ostentation.

MRS. HAYES always declared that
perfectly adequate substitute for liquor
when needed as stimulant could be
found in hot milk, says the New York
World, and after any cold or wetting
she gave them this in place of the wine
or whiskey which others would have
considered necessary. This is, by the
way, custom of Mrs. Cleveland's al
so who discovered after the fatigues of
the many long and wearisome recep-
tions she was obliged to so through,
standing for hours on her feet and sha-
king hands with hundreds of people,
that nothing would restore her so
quickly as a cupful of boiling milk
brought to her by her maid, and which
she drank in little sips as hot as it could
possibly be taken. The Washington
girls caught tie idea from her and fin
ding how quickly it helped them after
a hard day of calls and social
duties, they began to substitute it for
the various malt preparations they had
been in the habit of taking, or the hot
wine and water their maids usually ad-
ministered them when they came in
too tired out to dress for their next en-
gagement.

JOSIAH w. LEEDS.

People speak of their eyes being tir-
ed, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued. Such
is, however, not the case. The fatigue
is inner and outer muscles attached to
the eyeball and the muscles of accomo-
dation, which surrounds the lens Of
SHe-eye. When a near object is to be
looked at this muscle relaxes and al
lowA the lens to thicken, increasing its
retroactive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used in covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when a near
object is looked at. tits in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue Isl
felt, and relief if secured temporarily by:
closing the eyes or gazing at far dis.
tant objects. The usual indication of
strain is redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betok ening congested state Of
the inner surface, accompanied with
soma pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other ca.
ses the true remedy is to massage the
eye and its surroundings as far as may
be with the hand wet in cold water.

ANDERSON, LAUEENS. GREENWOOD AND
CHARLESTON, S. &.
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-11-16

your attention is on the lady in the mi
tial illustration-a very stylish gown of
nile green satin, embroidered with
golden flies; the train of satin woven of
golden feathers, the corsage being in en-
pire style, simulated by the embroidery
across the bust. The pulled sleeves are
of gold embroidered tulle. Five rows of
pearls are worn around the neck, held
together by vertical bands OF diamonds,
and CHAIN of pearls extends from the
left shoulder down onto the bust, and is
secured there by trifoil of three pearls,
one white, one gray and one pink. And
rs regards this string of pearls stretched
from the left shoulder to the front of the
bodice, 1 want to say that it is the triple
extract of chic nowadays to do some
thing original and pleasing with
jewelry. In fact, nothing will now
effectually stamp you as @ being
existing utterly outside of the charmed
circle of refinement and elegance than
to wear your jewelry in the style, and in
the same places your grandmother, or
even your mother did. Everything is
:surprise'' now. Imagine my amaze
ment at the Tuxedo club house, to notice
that lady's lorgnette contained in its
handle tiny watch, tiny mirror and q
tiny falcon of salts, and yet the handle
did not seem any more bulky to me for
all these ''surprises.
Another of the moro noticeable toilets
at this first fashionable dance of the sea-
son. will be found quite wildly portrayed
in the second illustration, but you must
needs draw upon your Imagination to get
a full idea of its exquisite beauty. Pict-
ure to yourself, first and foremost,
a figure of unusual height, erect
and graceful as lily STALK, sur
mounted by head, moulded by nature
in her happiest mood-tor such this
superb creature had-and then imagine
this figure swashed up in q rose petal
bengaline with flowing train from the
waist. Upon the front of the bodice and
up the sides of the skirt there are grace
full punches of daisies IN black velvet,
cut out and applied on the beautiful
silksn material and then made q part of
it by being lightly embroidered over and
jetted, producing an exquisite effect.
The bottom Of the skirt has two bands Of
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-11-16
skirts for warmth, but they must not
show. Black hose are worn at all times.
Notes.

Notes.
Passementrie trimming is limited to the
bands for the collar and cuffs.
Gold and silver passemeDteries are still
! numbered with fashionable dress gsrni-
lures.
The Stuart style of sleeve has double
| puffs with perpendicular bands of the
material.
ON many new dresses everything in the
way OF trimming on the skirts runs TO
| trills or fiouuces.
Visiting gowns are made with skirt and
| sleeves of velvet made up with soft ma
terial of the same shade.
Pierrot frills and very high pulled
! sleeves went out with the hot weather,
so far as day costumes are concerned.
Corsage flowers are not worn so much
as formerly, and when seen, consist of a
single rose and one or more chrysanthe-
NUNS.
The demand for high-b backed dining
room chairs, which has so generally pre-
vailed for the past three years, is now
changing.
Collars are high and close on street
dresses, while frills of soft null and COL
larettes of lace kerchiefs and scarfs finish
the necks of house gowns.
The most popular gown Just at the mo-
| ment is demi-trained princess, severely
plain, with all the 'art'' of the dress
manifest on the waist portion.
Yellow toilets are now decidedly yellow
rather than of primrose tints. The bril-
liant Marechal Neil yellow and the Span
ish gold shades are especially stylish.
Some of the picturesque cart" tea
gowns are still furnished with hanging
sleeves or those in Hungarian style,
slsshed or pulled in keeping with the
particular style of gown chosen; and ex-
ceptionally, one sees arms encased in u
material-ofteu very rich, odd one
that does not match the rest of the
bodice.
Dinner dresses and carriage gowns
have stifiy wired outstanding collars of
rich passementerie, lined with feathers,
and the lOw-out neck is seldom seen ex-
cept on tea gowns and for evening dress
strictly, when it is very low indeed, de-
spite the croakings of would DE re-
formers.
