deafness offensive breath; smell

bility. But only a few of these
likely to be present at once.

The Chicago Herald on the Single
Ia. Limited.

The proposal of county option in tho
matter of taxation has attracted consid-
cradle attention outside of tho state OF
New York. The Chicago Herald, in
discussing it editoriaily. says that its
real object was to put it in the power
of any county to make trial Of the
single tax limited" That WAS by no
means its only object. 1t gave equal
opportunity to any county to raise rev
enue by taxing personal property alone,
if it so desired. 1t gave, in fact. oppor-
tunity for actual experiment with any
system of taxation. The Herald seems
to assume that the single takers are the
only people willing 10 put their theories
to such test The Herald in specu
latinG on the possible result of such
legislation. says:
If such n county as New York. in
the exercise of its discretionary power,
should put the whole burden on Ian l.
or on land and Improvements together.
the commercial consequences would
probably be important. With personal
property wholly exempt the city of
New York would be more than ever an
attractive center for corporate enter
priscs. Practically, personal property,
or the securities Re prcsenting such prop
ertycis pretty much exempt there now.
Still. the assessor is supposed to look
for it, SO that much evasion, with the
attendant annoyance and wear and te ar
of conscience. has to be practiced. If
evasion We're rendered unnecessary
New York would become more than
eyer financial center, and the folly of
attempting to tax the mere shadows
and ghosts of property would become
apparent
Quecrfy enough, the Herald thinks
that there is mot much probability
that any county would exercise its local
option in that way Because of the
popular notion that mere paper evil
dences are property and that they ought

Chicago, but We are very confident that

Weird Scenes in the Baked and Blistered
Chasm.
DIR. G. Hart Merriam, scientist and
chief of government biological survey
which has been working for months in
Death valley, is in the city, told the
story of his adventures to Chronicle
reporter recently.
THE valley and its towering black
walls of barren rock" he said, ARE
weird and strangely sublime in their
desolation. For miles and miles the
curious mountains may be seen out
lined against the clear sky. From the
top of Telescope Peak, the highest of
the Panamint or western range which
shuts the valley in, one may look down
a dizzy black precipicc twelve thousand
feet to the level of the valley as dazzling
white as snow. Stretching from the
mountains foot are the glistening fields
of salt Here and there are running
streams of salt and mineral waters.
To drink of them is to die. The view
closes in the gloomy cliffs of the Fun
eral mountains, which form an i'm
penetrable barrier at the east.of the
canyon. The scene is one of violent
contrasts, of glaring whites and dead
blacks.

the lowest of series in eastern Cali
fornia and southwestern Nevada. AT a
rough estimate il 10 about one hundred

Blue Monday.

An explanation of the much-dreaded
"blueness" of Monday has been afforded
by an erudite French observer. He
gives it as the result of extended obser-
vation that the only nation in which
Monday is day of poor lessons, head
aches, scratchy penmanship, and that
tired feeling" generally is the United
States. Here he notices that people ac-
customed to great regularity in eating
and other physical habits during the
week, make practice of eating a late
and unusually large dinner on Sunday
and lounging lazily around the house a

Tho Grumblinr Habit.

Grumbling is chronic habit with
some people. The other day long
train of cars stopped at a little suburban
station, and necessarily, of course, the
front and rear cars were a considerable
distance from the station, This is an
outrage exclaimed lady as she got
out of the front car "I've got to walk
about mile back to the station just
because the railroad doesn't land me
there" At the same moment a lady
who was getting out of the rear car was
exclaiming; This is an outrage; / paid
my fare TO the station, but it seems the
company is too mean to carry me there.
They ought TO be exposed" But, OF
course, you will say that the passenger
for that station, a man in the middle
car, was satisfied. Not much. AS he
descended from the car and saw that he
was directly in front of the station, he
remarked; "IIuh! Hit IL right this time.

French so well, and had so cleverly as

he was not suspecte d; but suddenly a

that an emissary of the brutal London
Times was there. At once the mob was

of "Lct us find him! kill him. to the
