SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
THE CAT IN STRANGE CARPETS.

Mr.. Oliver Sumner Teall, the head of
the Republican Volunteer Association
and Chairman of the Enrolment Com
mittee of the Ballot Reform League, has
been greatly impressed with the ear
nestness of the single tax workers he
has met lately. he never having heard
of the single taxi before the Ballot
Reform League was formed. IA prin-
ciple that will make young and old
men work so disinterestedly as does
the single tax creed must have some
good in it and is worth study" said he.
Landing from the elevated station a
few days ago. he met legal friend,
whom he invited to lunch. Reaching
the downtown club, and having or
dered their viands, Mr.. Teall at once
preached the subject then weighing on
his mind:
II have lately had my attention
called to the land question by meeting
several single tax men, and l have
come to the conclusion that principle
that makes men act as they do must
have some good in it, Now, l want to
get some fellow like you to read Henry
Georges book and give me a cold. dis
interested opinion on what the system
really amounts to-"
"Well, really. Teall, I'd like to
oblige you, but the fact is you had
better try some one else; for,
frankly. l am a thorough single tax
man myself
You don't mean to tell me you are
a tariff reformer, do you?' exclaimed
Mr.. Teall, astonished.
ooh, no." said his friend; Il am s
tariff abolition:st."

Single Tax Letter Writing Corps.

This is an organization located at
No. Greenwood street, Cleveland, o.,
whose business it is to send out to all
single takers in communication with
it list of dozen or more of person
of prominence who, because of their
position, seem proper subjects for prop
uganda. Every person receiving such
circular writes one letter week to one
of the persons named. All single tax
ers who have quarter or a half an
hour n week spare to for work in tho
cause should send in their names.
From the circular sent out January I
we extract the following:
"The year 1890 should be, and doubt
less will be, the most successful year
we have had since the beginning of the
single tax movement. -
''By wise and polite measures we
have brought before the thinking world
the truths of our new economy, and
have gained that respectful hearing
that must always be accorded a wise
and just measure by men of inquiring
and nbiased minds.
1--WE have safely passed that infant
stage when all our energies had to be
expended in gaining foothold, and
have entered the arena of aggressive
action where one by one we shall dis
pose of our foes.
Never before was the necessity for
earnest, untiring effort more apparent;
never before did tho cry. Come and
help us = have a more significant APP
plIcation than now; and in this first
month of a new year let us consecrate
and reconsecrate ourselves to this great
work of teaching the world economic
truth.
while to the true reformer on one
period should be more suspicious for
work than another. there is still pleas
ure in the reflection that by common
consent we have time for casting up
accounts. rectifying mistakes and max
ing new resolutions.
LET us enter the work of this year
with the determination to make it the
best year. giving it our time and thought,
constantly on the watch for opportun-
tiles to approach men on the vital SUBJ
;ect we are interested in, answering
objections, whether ignorant or studied,
and seeking means to spread our prin-
ciples through the medium of the press.
THE evidence Of our success in for
mer years should stir each one of us to
greater exertions in the future, for in
the end all depends on individual
labor"

GIANT EARTH WORM,
1t Is Six Feet in Length and Nearly an
inch in Diameter.

It Is Six Feet in Length and Nearly an
Incl, in Diameter.
An earth worm which, in some ex-
amples, reaches tho length of six feet,
is described by Prof. Baldwin Spencer in
the 'Transactions of the Royal Society
O: Victoria, as existing in Gippsland,
Australia. 1t is the Megasc0ktdes
d ustroRs, one of a group peculiar to
Australia, of which five species are
known. When found at all it is some

the sloping sides of creeks. At times it
is found beneath fallen logs, and may
be turned out of the ground by the pillow.

but often lives in ground riddled by the
holes of the land-crab, which forms a

ments have been made about the worm {

which is made by the animal retreating
in its burrow when the ground is
stamped upon by the foot. When
once heard this gurgling sound
is unmiotakable. By its rapid mo-
ton and its power of distending any
part of its body at will, 50 as to make it
| fit very tightly in it's hole, the worm
contrives to make itself very hard to
catch. 1t has characteristic odor,
somewhat resembling that of creosote,
which is very strong and unpleasant in
the dead animal. The body, in decay
ing, passes into a fluid, which the ma
tives of the district say is good for
rheumatism. Fowls refuse to touch it,
living or dead. Whes held in the hand
the worm, in contracting it's body,
throws out jets of milky fluid, and this
fluid seems to be the substance which it
uses for coating it's burrows to make
their walls moist and slippery. The
worm moves in it's burrow by swelling
up one or the other end and pulling or
pushing itself along from that. Q.5-
side OF the burrow it does not attempt
to get along. The burrows of the large
worm measure from three-quarters of
an inch to an inch in diameter. In dis
used burrows are often found casts of
the worms, and, more rarely, cocoons
containing a single embryo. The CO.

Your brow is scanned with care;
But ever through your face see
The heart that's true as truth
Shine out all steadfastly on me
IL Loves immortal youth.
What matter if the hair grows grey,
If love stays in the hearth
Lifes winter holds a hint of May
That never can depart.
Our cheeks may fade, our steps grow slow,
But, dear, while love is ours,
Beneath LIES winters frost and Snow

So, dear, tell you with a kiss,
And mean ii all and more,
How beautiful your old face is

Looks out and smiles on me.

To me in giving thee!

our friend.
His customer looked up at him with
a keen glance TO see if he were Joking;
and. seeing the calm and chldlike eX-
preston, always characteristic of the
single tax inquirer, irradiating his
countenance, sneerngly said: "Iou
mean the Harrison boom, don't you?'
Eyes, yes. the Harrison boom. 1t

expect Il boom when it takes three

And then our single tax man saw he
had got into Democratic den and said,

Yes, I'm free trader absolute. -
answered the coffee man. Il don
take any stock in custom-houses.
"Brie how would you raise the reve-
