The Decadence Of the Roman Empire

The idea of absolute individual pre- p
erty in land, which modern civilization
derived from Rome, reached its full dc-
velopment there in historic times.
Wh.n the future mistress of the world
first looms up. each citizen had his
little home. tead plot, which was -n-
alienable, and the general domain
the corn-land which was of pubic
right''-was subject to common use,
doubtless under regulations or customs
which secured equality, as in tie leu
tonic mark and Swiss allmcnd- 1t " as
from this public domain. constantly ex-
tended by conquest. that the patricinn
families succeeded in carving their
great estates. These grea. estates by
the power with which the great at
tracts the less, in spite of temporary
checks by legal limitation and recpr-
ring divisions, t>lally crushed out MI
the small proprictors, adding their lit

enormously rich, while they themselves
were forced into the slave gangs, he
came rcnt-paying colonii, or else
were driven into the freshly conquered

The Natural Source of Revenue.

In rude state of society where there
is no need for common expenditure,
there is no value attaching to land. The
ONLY value which attaches there is to
things produced by labor But as civil
ization goes on. as a division of Ia Dor
takes place, as men come into centcrs.
so do the common wants increase, and
so does the necessity for public revenue
arise And so on in that value which
attaches to land, not by reason of any
thing which the individual does, but by
reason of the growth of the commU-
nitv. is n provision intendcd-wc may
safely say intendcd-to meet that social
want.
THE duke of Bedford. who died recent
w. owned lis acres OF land in the very
heart of London. and over 1856 square
miles, or 100, 900 acres of agricultural
lands. His income from both sourceH
was said to be over 1000. 900 year.
On his London estates his tenants had
erected some 80, GOO buildings of every
description, and large number of
these had, by expiration of leases, be-
como the property of the duke. So that
he was probably the largest house own
er in England. The famous Covcnt
Garden market was on the dukes prop
erty, and the ownership OF TINS carried
with it the right to levy tolls on every
cart approaching within a quarter of Il
mile of the market, as well as the pro.
duce sold in the market From these
tolls he derived an income of over $780,.
ooo a year. AS a man he was reserved
| and eccentric, and took no part in pub
! lie affairs. The man who succeeds him
the present Lord Travistock, Is not

much to make landlordism odious a.

islature than the most expedient and
just method of raising the revenues for
governmental purposes. Government
had but two duties-to raise sufficient
revenue, and to spend it for proper pur-
poses. The single takers simply desired
to have a Legislative committee investi-
gate the best means of performing one
of these duties. They were not asking
the legislature tc day to indorse their
ideas, but only to name a
special committee, before which
they would promise to present
their reasons for believing as they
did. Such a committee waa being de-

That something was wrong was undeisi-

most heavily with the consumer in pro-
portion to his consumption. This was
making the rich richer and the poor
poorer. 1t was running the farmer and
the agricultural districts. The wealthy
citizens of the great cities concealed
their personal property and evaded most
of their taxes, but the farmer and labor
er paid more than their share.
When the committee of the whole
rose it recommended that the resolu-
tions be referred to the committee OF
revenue.

A QUEER ORNAMENT.
The Lip Ring OF tho MansanJa Women of
Africa.

The Lip Ring OF tho MaEGanJa Women OF
Africa.
1t is 4 very curious study to note the
variety of feminine ornamentation in
the different nations, and how what
may be considered as beautifier by
one race becomes a positive nonstrosi-
ty and deformity in the eyes of another.
One of the most curious decorations in
the world is adopted by the women of
the Manganja tribe, inhabiting n coun-
try in Africa near one of the northern
tributaries of the Zambesi. 1t is called
the ''pelele" This is a ring, but it is
fixed neither in the ear nor the nose as
with other races, but in the upper lip
1t is a ring made of ivory, metal or
bamboo, according to the wealth of the
wearer; is nearly an inch in thickness,
and varies in diameter at the will Of
the wearcr, many being nearly three
inches in diameter from outer edge to
edge. When the girls are very young
they have the lip pierced with two
holes close to the nose, and q small
wooden peg inserted to keep the wound
from closing When the wound heals,
two small holes are left in the lip, into
which larger pegs are successfully in
troduccd until, in about two years, the
full-sized "pelelc" can be wcrn. Its
effect, when worn, is indeseribablc.
When at rest it hangs Gown over the
mouth; when food is taken, it projects
horizontally, like small shelf, and
when the dusky maiden smiles upon
her admirer, it elevates itself, turning
upside down until its lower edge rests
against the bridge of the nose, the tip
of the nose appearing through the cen
ter, and the eyes looking round each
side. AS the teeth are generally filed
to sharp points, until they resemble
those of n crocodile, the effect may be
better imagined than described
Chillanda Kadze. wife of the great
chief, had ''pclele" that hung below
her chin.
The origin of this horrible ornament
(?) is unknown. and the reasons given
for it are amusing, the natives saying:
What kind of a creature would a
woman be without a pelele? She
would have a mouth like a man and no
beard to cover it." In different dis
tricts it varies slightly in shape, being
cylindrical, instead of round; or like a
fat dish, instead of ring P.

GOETHE'S FAvORiTE CAKE.
a Bit OF Cookery of Which the Great Ger
man Was Very Fond.

Bit of Cookery of Which the Great Ger
man Was Very Fond.
Goethc's fondnesS for good things to
eat is h cherished tradition among all
his Bosweilian admirers on the conti-
nent. and it has already long been
known through his letters that he rare
" had friend at his table without first
telling his mother. by letter or word of
mouth, Just the sort Of menu he wished
for the occasion. The exact compost
ton of his favorite dishes has remained
something of a mystery even to the
Goethe society, however. a bit of yell
lowed paper taken to Vienna years ago
by Ottilie Won Goethe, given by her to
Frau Auguste Won Littrow-Bischof, and
found after the recent death of the lat
ter among her most valuable documents,
goes far toward clearing away much
uncertainty from this point. This pa
per bears recipe for "Franfurter
Brende." cake of which Goethe was
passionately fond, which he mentioned
in letters to his friends, of which he
slowed away amazing quantities at
every opportunity. The recipe says:
mix a pound of powdered almonds
with pound of powdered sugar.
sprinkle with rosewater, and stir till
brown and dry over a light fire. Pour
with cloth. Cool over night and the
next day mix with whites of eggs and
four ounces of fine flour. Roll out the
mass to half the thickness of the back
of knife and cut out with wooden
form. Twenty-four hours later bake in
tins moistened with hot wax"
OF this 'franllfurter Brende" Franz
| Grillparzer, the king of Austrian dram
atists wrote IN 1866 to Frau Won Bisch-
off: THE Frankfort cake you sent me
afforded me the first opportunity of my
| life to measure myself with Goethe
! (although only in biting), and has given
me new proof of the fact that Goethe,
even in his ripest age, was an entirely
| different sort of fellow from me. AT
all events he had better teeth" In his
younger years, however, when his
| teeth were at their best, Grillparzer
thought better of Goethe's cake, for,
after tasting it once he commented:
'Yes, Goethe may occasionally have
written bad things, but never ate bad
things."-N. Y. Sun,
