SteIzner's egemeinschaft.

Under the title of Grundzinsgemein-
chaft or ccmmunity-of-groun rents, a
characteristic example of word build
ing which would delight Mark Twain,
Alfred Stelzner writes pamphlet,
Berlin, 1890, to prove that the idea OF
land naturalization is Of German origin.
Mr.. Henry George has on several &C.
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-
tion 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
ue of the single tax, if the different t
nationalities are already disputing as to
who has a prior claim upon it.
regret to say that hare not been
able to procure the pamphlet itself; my
only knowledge of it is derived from q
review which appeared in. the April
number of the newly founded Schwei-
zerische Rundschau, but which is suti-
ciently comprehensive to give one 4
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 Fcudal system. He
shows how the land passed into the
hands of the sovereign and his nobles;
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 III a state of
! servitude to landlords. Stelzncr then
| considers the present reaction which
has arisen against this servitude, and
claims the honor of pioneer in the
movement for 4 physician and philan-
thropist. Dir. Theodor Stamm, who in
1871 issued a book entitled The neliv-
erance OF Famishing Humanity.''
| s'Stamm." says Stelzncr, ''considel1
the transformation of the private own
ership of ground rent into a community
ownership as the rcscuing task of civ
iization."S The pamphlet further de-
scribes the work of the "Allwohlbund,'
! which, like the "Bund fur Boden bcsitz-
REFORM" carries on the propaganda of
the single tax III Germany.
AS Mr.. Georges book on progress
| and Poverty did not. I think. appear
until 1879 or 1850, Stelzner's claim of
priority for Stamm must be admitted;
but this. of course, in no way detracts
! from the merit of our great American
| exponeutS work. II still remains true
! that Mr. George worked out his remedy
for the social problem Independently,
| that he presented his facts and elahor-
ated his plan with n skill and cloquence
which far surpass those of any other
collaboration in the same field. and that
it was his book which, bursting upon
the world with irresistible 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 4
source of encouragement to those who
are laboring in the good cause in Amer

HOW TO KEEP COOL.
1ne Advice of a Man Who I~ Supposed to
Know Something About 1t.

Ine Advice of a Man Who Is Supposed to
Know Something About It,
well-known physician, on being
solicited for advice, said "To keep
the body cool in summer it is best to
eat no meat, or flesh. or fish, at least
not oftener than once day, and that
in the cool of the morning, making a
breakfast de- >sert of berries of some
kind. Dinner, light soup with bread;
then vegetables, rice, samp, corn,
cracked wheat: dinner, dessert of fruit
and berries, in their natural state
fresh, ripe and perfect. Touch nothing
later than dinner, taking nothing at all
at supper but piece Of cold bread and
butter and a single cup of some hot
drink, or, in place of these, a saucer of
ripe berries without sugar, milk, cream
or anything else, not even a glass of
water, or any other liquid for an hour
after.
ITO keep the head cool, especially of
those who live by their wits, such as
lawyers, doctors, editors, authors and
other gentlemen of industry. it is best
to rise early enough to be dressed and
ready for study as soon as it is suff-
aicntly light to use the eyes easily
without artificial aid. having retired the
evening before early enough to have al
lowed full seven hours for sound sleep;
then study for about two hours: next
make breakfast of piece of cold bread
and butter, an egg and a cup of hot
drink, nothing more; then resume study
till 10, not to be renewed until next
morning, allowing no interruption
whatever until the time for study
ceases, except to have the breakfast
brought in.
ITO cool rooms the least trou blesome
plan is to hoist the windows and
open the doors at daylight, and at or
. o'clock close them, especially the ex-
ternal windows and shutters, if there
be any. except to admit barely neces-
sary light.
still greater GOODNESS may be pro-
duced by having large, heavy cotton
or linen sheet hung near each open
window or door and kept constantly
wet; the evaporation produces a
vacuum, and continual draft of air is
the result In India and other eastern
countries common mating is used;
long grass plated answers a good pur-
pose. In Germany a broad vessel or pan
is kept in the room nearly filled with
water, the surface being covered with
green leaves. st. Louis Republic.

But it may be said, as l have often
heard it said, I'VE do not all want
land, We can not all become farmers
To this I reply that we do all want
land, though it may be in different
ways and varying degrees. Without
land no human being can live; without
land no human occupation can be car
ried on. Agriculture is not the only
use of land. 1t is only one of many.
And just as the uppermost story of the
tallest building rests upon land as truly
as the lowest, so is the operative as
truly a user of land as is the farmer
AS all wealth is in the last analysis the
resultant of land and labor, so is all
production in the last analysis the ex-
penditure of labor upon land. Social

ChairmanNowland presided, and sta
ted that In consequence OF the appro-
priatlon made last year being exhaust
ed, and the delay in the receipt of the
appropriation for the present year, the
treasury is empty.
This delay has been caused by tho
change In the county government
made by tho Five Commissioners bill.
The bills for the quarter ending In
April last are still unpaid, and the cred.
itofs are clamoring for their money.
Two months of the present quarter
have nearly expired and the necessity
