A Comfortable Greed ,r Some.

Not one in hundred of those most
swift to condemn Mr.. George and his
convictions know anything at all of the
man or his works. I know dozens of
educated and able men THAT is to say,
able to think about bracing their backs
against stone WALL who believe that
he is an anarchist, that an anarchist IS
communist. a communist nihilist,
and nihilist socialist The general
feeling among men of affairs is that
all these are the same. and that all are
strenuously endeavoring to deprive
others of their property. They feel
that it is their sacred duty land by a
happy accident, greatly to their inter
est to maintain the esta blished order
of things''-that is to say, the order of
things under which they have succeed
ed in wrestling from their neighbors
more than their neighbors have sue
ceeded in wrestling from them. The
luc1iest or most skillful pickpocket is
naturally the loudest in praise of the
regime of picking pockets. the sincerest
in believing it ordained Of God and the
only possible solution of the problem
how to be safe in crowd.-Amb rose
Bierce, in San Francisco Examiner.

Taxing Personal Property.

The committee on legislation OF the
Real Estate exchange, of New York
city, held it's first meeting last week.
and the president. George r. Reed, in
his opening address, discussed rapid
transit and other questions likely to at
feet the price of real estate He also
said that it was to be expected that bills
looking to the taxation of mortgages
and personal property would be intro
duced as usual. and that the effect of
such taxation would be to drive away
from our city capital and business, and
thereby ultimately iniure the value of
real estate. He hoped that the commit
tee would be as successful in defeating
such proposals this year as it had teen
in the past The intelligent real estate
owner who expects to improve lar d
that he holds is beginning to see thu
folly of taxing personal property as
plainly as do the single takers. He is
not likely, perhaps. to become more
than a single tax man limited, but that
far he is in time sure to come.

A Mysterious DeIicacy.

1t is getting to be a serious thing now
adays to know ones ice cream by sight.
Taste, of course, will reveal the frozen
dainty. but it takes on, under the hands
of woodworking chefs, so many diff
ferent DISCUSSES that it is frequently
very misleading If; for instance. a
dish of plump-looking mushrooms is
placed before you. don't be sure that
you are going to eat that succulent veg
etable until you have tried one of the
hght-brown buttons. They are prob
ably ice-cream frozen in these little
molds The English brown-head ice
cream is common enough here now, but
it is novelty to have it served with
French peas A chef who was more
ambitious than artistic recently almost
startled the company by sending to the
table what were apparently raw lamb
chops. The illusion was so perfect that
several hesitated to attempt TO eat them
until the hostess fork showed their ICE
cream nature.-N. Y. Times-

Tie single tax men of Missouri are &c
conplishing wonders in forcing TO the
front the doctrines that they hold.
They have gone about it in the right way.
They have not merely lent their aid to
the democratic party. but they have
procured the nomination and election
10 the legislature of seven single tax
men. of whom one is in the state sem
ate and six in the house. The men thus
chosen are not merely members, but
leading mem bers, of the branches to
which they belong. One of them is
speaker of the house, one chairman OF
the ways and means committee, one
chairman of the committee on internal
improvements, and another chairman
of the committee on manufactures, and
others hold places on other important
committees As was shown by an item
printed in last weeks Standard, the
single tax men are pushing the demo
cratic party forward toward free trade,
and though they failed in securing an
open declaration in accord with their
views. FL. Martin Williams, says that
more than half the mem bers are free
traders. Mr.. Williams is one of the
clerks of the house, and he was ap-
pointed to that position with full
knowledge of the fact that he is not
merely single tax man, but the Mis-
souri, member of the single tax national
committee.
1t is not &c be wondered at that in a
state where he single tax movement is
in the hands IF such practical men, that
the necessity for a state organization is
becoming apparent. Whenever the
movement reaches that stage, state
committees ought TO be formed; but,
on the other hand, it is folly to form
such committees where there is no local
activity. and where new tax on the
energies Of our scattered people must
fail to accomplish any great good.
while diverting money and effort from
the work already in progress under the
direction of the national committee
Let US finish the work on hand. press

BOWER BIRDS.
Miniature Palaces Constructed by Fsath-
cred Artizans.

Miniature Palaces Constructed by Fsath-
cred Artizans.
There is a number of varieties of
bower birds, differing from each other
in small ways, but all alike in the main
feature cot building pleasure houses
and grounds and decorating them with
what they consider ornamental objects.
Perhaps the most expert of these build
ers is the spotted color bird of Aus
tralia, which is a beautiful bird with a
collar of long feathers about its neck.
The nest of the collar bird is very
ordinary affair, for this fine fellow
keeps all his skill and ideas of beauty
for the building of the bower where he
and his friends may disport themselves.
This bower is built by first making a
platform of woven twigs about three
feet long and two feet wide. Along
the sides of this flooring are arranged
long twigs held in place by being stuck
in the earth and by stones laid
against them. These twigs are curved
inward to meet at the top, and other
twigs are interviewer to give added
strength and shelter from the rain.
Besides this the interior of the bower
is lined with tall. soft grass, so placed
that the heads almost meet at the top.
Stones of large size keep the grasses
in position, and care is taken that no
spur of the twigs used shall turn in
ward and thus make it possible for a
careless merry maker to injure his
feathers The birds now search the
country for miles around for ornamen-
tai objects, selecting only such as are
pure white or brilliantly colored.
Shells, pebbles, feathers, agates,
bleached bones. bits of glass, berries,
and in fact anything bright and pretty
are brought and placed about in an ar
tistic manner.
Pathways are marked out at each
end of the bower by means of pebbles.
while little hillocks are erected before
each entrance. When all is completed
a festive gathering is held. The males
strut about and exhibit their fine
feathers and graceful carriage, while
the females look on in silent admira-
ton Then dancing begins, the males
and females dancing singly and never
in pairs--Detroit Free Press.
