The effect of the change, II made, will
be TO empower the Legislature to pass
general laws, frat, to tax certain valuable
possessions that can not be taxed as the
constitution now stands; and, second, tc
relieve tax-burdens that are unfair and
wrong, including what has long been
known and complained OF as "double

It is too scientific and diffuse. This
might be an answer: THE gas, if made

ratus, is practically pure carbonic-acid gas.

an alkali or soda chamber below, where
the soda and water are sgitated, being
previously well mixed TO consistency OF
thick buttermilk. From this chamber
there is a pipe to n safety-valve. also to a
wash chamber. which before beginning
operating is filled with pure water,
through which the gas passes and IS puri-
fed before entering the retort from which

A short time since saw several recipes

water enough to dissolve 1t were placed IN
tumbler or goblet. 4 sprig of mint was
then put in the vessel and slightly bruised:
London Dock Cognac brandy, qudntins sly-

whole was stirred with n spoon. several
sprigs of mint were then placed IN tue

At the period to which I refer | never
knew strawberries. oranges, or plne-ap-

frequently serve now as a disguise. ana
support for Indifferent liquors, and, IN
deed are often used with that design. But
a iulep made of good brandy and in the sim;

enough for q prince. The maximum price
of good Cognac then was from sou 10 -
per gallon. which IS less than the best
whiskeys sell for now. What change my

Will you please in your SUNDAYS issue
state for the information of many inQurers
how many representatives has New York
State in Congress, including the two sena-
tors, and state the difference between cleo

Q. Congressman are elected from dis
tricts in State to represent that State in
tho House of Representatives. Electors
are chosen to cast the vote of their State

and not by districts, as Is the case with
