A Maine family consists of six broth
ers SO exactly alike that no one but
their closest friends can tell which is
which. One day they happened to be
in a strange town and all wanted a
shave. One of them went into barber
shop, was shaved, and paid the custom
airy ten cents. Five minutes later APP
parently the same man came back into
the shop. very wrathy, his beard
bristling with a three days growth.
He swore that he had not been half
shaved, and demanded that the work
be done over.
The astonished barber apologized and
complied, but judge of his horror when
not ten minutes later his customer came
back, madden than ever, his beard still
showing on his face, and demanded an
other shave. Again the barber, after
some protest, complied, but when his
man returned the fourth time it was
too much.
See herer' he cried, ''if you're try
ing to sell me some patent hair-raiser
I'll take your whole stock. but if you
are an escaped museum freak, either
you've got to get out or I'll have to
close this shop"

pay for their shaves.-Buffalo Express

manufacturing IN the colonies the
British manufacturer would have held
the American market without the in
tervention of the British government
with its arbitrary and harsh measures
in their behalf.
1t is an interesting and instructive
fact, which does not seem to have
taught the president any more than it
has taught Mr.. Mckinley, that in spite
of the repressive measures adopted by
the British government, which went so
far as to declare certain colonial
manufacturing concerns nuisances the
enterprise and genius of the colonists
were pushing both commerce and
manufactures with such energy and
success as to alarm Manchester. Not
only without protection of any kind,
but in spite of the severest repressive
measures, the American colonists were
coming rapidly not only to supply their
own wants, but to supply the people
of other countries with manufactures,
and in fact they actually exported con-
siderable quantities of iron.
That was a century and a quarter
ago, when the population of the colo
MES must have been less than four
millions, and when the prodigious
natural resources of the country were
almost unknown. And yet the presi-
dent and Mr. Mckinley assure us that
now, with an enterprising, energetic
and enlightened population of sixty
four million, with resources the most
varied and in many respects unsur-
passed, with the best of industrial ap-

One kidney may be removed, and the

therefore, a person in that condition

In like manner, disease may have rem

thus functionally useless and yet the
person may live in good health to old

of its great ulcer, and the microbes

Stelzner's neutrality-suspicious..

Unde, The title of Grundzinsgemein-

characteristic example of word build
| ing which would delight Mark Twain,
Alfred Steiner writes a pamphlet.
| Berlin, 1890, to prove that the idea OF
/ land naturalization is of German origin.
Mr.. Henry George has on several oc-
casions repudiated any claim to abso-
Lutte priority of ideas in the great field
of land reform. He has frankly adj
mitted that the fundamental concep-
ton of the single tax has occurred to
other men at various periods of the
worlds history. This pamphlet, even
! if correct in its conclusions, IS there
fore welcome to every man who has the
reform at heart, as an evidence that the
world is beginning to appreciate the val
ne of the single tax, if the different
nationalities are already disputing as to
who has prior claim upon it.
regret to say that have not been
able to procure the pamphlet itself; my
only knowledge of it is derived from a
review which appeared in the April
number of the newly founded Schwei-
zerische Rundschau, but which is sufi-
GENTLY comprehensive to give one
good idea of the contents.
Steiner maintains that the principle
of common ownership of land was prac-
tically applied by primitive German
law, and was only set aside by the in
PRODUCTION of Roman law and the
growth of the Feudal system. He
shows how the land passed into the
hands of the sovereign and his mobiles;
how the free peasants became serfs
thereby; and how, in modern times, in
spite of the abolishing of serfdom, the
mass of the people are still in a state of
servitude to landlords. Steiner then
considers the present reaction which
has arisen against this servitude, and
claims the honor of pioneer in the
movement for a physician and philan-
thropist, DIR. Theodor Stamm, who in
1871 issued book entitled The Deliv-
GRANGE of furnishing Humanity"
''Stamm,'' says Stelzner, considers
the Transformation of the private own
ership of ground rent into a community
ownership as the rescuing task of CIV
ilization." The pamphlet further de-
scribes the work of the ''Allwohl bund,''
which, like the ''Bund fur Bodenbesitz-
REFORM carries on the propaganda of
the single tax in Germany.
As Mr. Georges book on progress
and Poverty" did not. | think, appear
until 1879 or $780, Stelzners claim of
priority for Stamm must be admitted;
but this, of course, in no way detracts
from the merit of our great American
exponeut's work. 1t still remains true
that Mr.. George worked out his remedy
for the social problem Independently,
that he presented his facts and elabor-
ated his plan with skill and eloquence
which far surpass those of any other
collaboration in the same field, and that
it was his book which, bursting upon
the world with irresisti BILE force, obliged
every one to pause and listen to the ar
guments of the single tax.
On the whole, this German pamphlet
is only another sign of the universally
of the hoped for land reform, and
source of encouragement to those who
are laboring in the good cause in Amer
lea. w. ID. MCCRACKAN,

1t "Sees the Cat.

Evidences multiply that the single
tax idea is slowly making its way in
places where no ser ious effort has been
made by the advocates of the move
ment. Sometimes, still, there is a dis
claimer of sympathy with the Henry
George idea:" but this is becoming less
frequent. and, in constantly increas-
ing number of cases. the advocates of
improved methods of taxation frankly
avow their Indebtedness to Mr.. George
for the ideas they advocate. An in
stance of this is found in the following
editorial article, which appeared in the
Kingston (Pa.) Morning Times OF
July II:
There is in this country nothing so
unfair as the system in vogue for col
lecting taxes, 1t is not necessary to go
away from home to see the misera bic
work done by incompetent assessors.
Here's an instance cited at the Kings
ton council room at last meeting:
Mr.. Flanagan stated that his lot on
Maple street was assessed at So
per foot frontage. AS a matter of fact,
the market value is $50, and there is
probably none that can be bought at
that figure. Mr.. Flanagan's lot, there
fore. is assessed at one-sixteenth of its
value. AS a councilman Mr.. Flanagan
sees the reason why Kingston borough
collects so little tax. The land is as
sesse6 at one-siXteenth of it's value. and
buildings at one-fourth to one-slxth.
Such an assessment tends to discourage
building, and favors those who hold
land for speculation purposes. ii the
assessors pretend to be fair they should
keen the valuation at oue-fourth or one
sixth, and serve all alike. The Times
does not advocate an increase of taxes
on improved property An increase On
land will raise the tax on revenues so
that the taxes on improved property
will decrease, if any thing. borough
has a certain sum to raise each year,
and where land is being held as spec
ulation, and is not being improved, that
property should pay the bulk OF the
taxes. This idea is in close alliance
with the Henry George theory. and it Ii

n Gross Insult to the Character of the
American People.
In his speech at st. Adams President
Harrison quoted from another speech
made at the same place fourteen years
ago this sentence: Trading Manches-
ter sent two regiments to conquer a
market" This, the president said, re-
called to his mird the fact that lone of
the great motives of resistance on the
part of the colonies was the unjust
trade restrictions and eXactions which
Were imposed upon them by the mother
country in order to secure the Amer
lean market for the British manufac-
tnrer.'
But the recalling of these things to
mint, does not seem to have induced in
the mind of the president a perception
of the folly of the mother country in
wren ching trade and industry from
their natural courses by arbitrary meas
nres-a folly which cost her the rich
zest of her colonial treasures and changed
she stream of modern events.
1t did not suggest to the presidents
snind that the arbitrary and unjust re-
,strictions to which he referred point to
the conclusive evidence that even in
the colonial days American manufac-
turing industries. then actually in their
infancy, needed no artificial nurture or
defense Why did the mother coun-
try think it necessary to impose unjust
trade restrictions and eXactions in or
der to secure the American market for
the British manufacturer? Why did
she think it necessary to send two
regiments, and many more with them,
to conquer market? Obviously for
the reason that manufacturers Were
springing up in America in spite of the
arbitrary restrictions and exactions
imposed by the British government.
There could not have been any other
reason. But for the development OF

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
THE BEES SERMON.

Good morning, dear friends! I'm clever
young bee
And a sermon I'll preach If you'll listen to
me;
It will not be long, and it will not be dry.
And your own common sense my remarks
may apply
Not slothful in business must be the first
head,
For with vigor we work till the sun goes to
bed;
And unless one is willing to put forth ones
powers
There is no getting on in world such as
ours.
We are fond of our dwellings: no gossips are
We,
No gadders about idle neighbors to see;
And though We are forced for our honey to
roam,
We come back as soon as we can to our
home
''The way to be happy, and wealthy, and
Is early to rest and early to rise"
This proverb has nodded our conduct for
years,
And we never sleep when the daylight ap-
pears.
If you were to peep in our hives you would
That as models of cleanliness they might be
shown;
All dust and all dirt, without any delay.
Are swept from our door, and soon carried
away.
Ventilation most thorough our domiciles
share,
So no one need teach the worth of fresh
air;
For we could not live, as we've heard people
do,
In close rooms where no health giving
breeze can pass through.
When one of our number is sick or distressed
He is of kind treatment from each of
the rest;
We sympathze warmly with those who're
in grief,
And are eager to proffer immediate relief
We carry our stings, not on any pretense
For aggressive attack, but in self defense;
We NEEDLE with no one, and only repel
Assailants who will not in peace with us
dwell.
Now my sermon is ended and you, if you
please,
Some hints may derive from us hard work
ing bees;
May your life be as useful, your labors
sweet,
And may you have plenty of honey to eat!
