TO THE
FARMERS OF VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because Of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many OF
them would bring you 90,
10 and even so cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you
only a penny for a postal card
on which to send me your ad
dress, to secure full printed

method of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very

1t has long been said that whatsoever

make a fortune beside which the mil
lions Of all other patent medicine pro-
prietors viii pale into littleness. Per
haps a barber has hit upon the plan for
solving the problem and making the
fortune.
He says that the recent successful ex-
periments in skin grating reveal a sim
pie manner in which any bald man may
get full head of hair There need be
no pain during the process, because the
use of anesthetics will overcome the
hurt of the surgeons knife in removing
the bald scalp. All that the candidate
for a new head of hair must endure will
be a stay of two or three weeks indoors
while the new scalp is growing in place
As to the question whether the new
scalps must come from dead men or live
men, the barber suggests that this will
be merely question of expense, for

scalps If they can find purchasers.-N

claim Jumping.

The Nelson Miner says it seems i'm
possible to make the average claim own
er or prospector understand the pro
visions of the mineral act that went into
effect on April 20 of this year. One Of
It's plainest provisions is that recorder
ing is done away with, yet claim owners
almost daily ask to have their claims re-
recorded. Another Of its plain provis-
ions is that the owners of claims have the
full year in which to do the annual
assessment work, yet claims are
Jumped because of a supposed failure
to do the required work. The owners of
the claims recorded since October 20,
1880, have year from the date of their
records IN which to do the annual as
sessment work. If a claim was located
on April II, 1890, and the annual as
sessment work done before October 81,
1890, the owner of that claim has until
April Il, 1892, to do his second years
assessment work, and his ground is not
lumpable, as many prospectors seem to
believe. Before relocating or jumping
claims, prospectors should make in
qmrles as to the provisions of the law.

STARTING A BOYS CLUB.
Kindness from a Woman Did What p
Iicemen's Climbs Had Fa;Iad 80 n

Kindness from Woman Did What PO-
licemen's Clubs Had Failed to Do.
1t was in the fall of 1878 that the
small boys about Tompkins square, hay
ing exhausted the ordinary methods of
street enjoyment, began to amuse them
selves by throwing stones through the
windows of the Wilson mission at 1876
st. Marks place, and by jeering at the
various people connected with it as they
passed in and out of the building.
These customs proving in time both
expensive and annoying to the ladies
and gentlemen connected with the mis-
sion, and complaints to the police de-
partment only resulting in temporary
( cessation of hostilities whenever the
lynxeyed policeman on the beat ap-
peared, and as long as he remained in
sight, one of the ladies determined to
try the soothing effects of Goals of fire,
poured metaphorically upon the heads
Of the offending boys. So one evening
she answered an especially irritating
/ volley of stones by appearing on the
4 doorsteps, and taking advantage of q
momentary lull in the cat calls which
4 her appearance had excited, asked the
boys if they would not come in and
/ have some coffee and cakes.

hind the door naturally occurred to the

I pie repast which the lady had plen-
teOusly provided as the most practical
form in which to administer her Goals
of fire. Every one had as much as he
wanted, no reference was made to the
cause Of the broken glass, and each boy
was treated with kindness and courtesy
( quite unexpected, in view of the fact
that within few moments he had been
engaged in smashing his hostess win
dows
When the supper had all been alb
sorbed the boys were sent forth with a
. pleasant good night to ruminate on their
evenings experiences, and to decide
which part of the evening had been the
more enjoyable-defacing the exterior Of
the mission building or being treated
with kindness and courtesy within its
walls, and their decision soon became
apparent, for the boys were soon back
again, not for coffee and cakes, but to
ask if they could not come in and play
games-though there was little in the
room but an atmosphere of kindness and
good breeding.-Evert Jansen Wendell

owner lived in a sparsely settled neigh

school. The teacher would not allow him
to go into the schoolroom when the pu-
pills were reciting. This aroused his Gu

law does not apply TO mineral. coal, OH,

is of record, he having failed to comply
with the law as to residence, has the
right to relinquish his claim to the
United States, and enter the same or
other tract, provided no other right has
attached: the act further provides that,
when an entry has been made, and the
applicant is residing on the land entered

THE TRUE TAX SYSTEM

The question as to just how the
cost of running this nation is to be
met in the future has probably
never been presented to the minds
of many Of our citizens. 1t is an
indisputable fact that our present
incomes are inadequate for neces.
sary governmental expenses. Then
the question arises, what are we
going to do about it? We must
either increase our revenues or
curtail our expenses, or probably
do both. That we cannot exist
without some financial relief is too
apparent to all to need demonstra-
ting, for our expenses are increas-
ing while our available revenue is
diminishing One Of the chief
causes Of this state of affairs is oar
loss Of the Strip as a source of in
come. It does not take much of
stretch of the Imagination for any
one to arrive at the conclusion
that something must be done to
meet the current expenses Of the
nation or we 60 down in insolv-
ency. The farmer who sells
piece Of land every time he needs a
little money viii certainly go the to
wall sooner or later. So with the
nation. Then how shall we raise
the requisite amount annually to
defray the expenses Of this nation?
All will agree that we have no
land to sell, not even a part Of the
outlet, if we can possibly help it.
Then there is clearly but one way
OF escape left and that is to meet
the expenses By direct tar on prop
erty, which is the only legitimate
system Of carrying on a govern
ment. The various ramifcations
of the governmental machinery are
constantly extending and widen
ing, and it takes more money each
year Then we must raise the
money just as other nations do,
namely, by taxation. Now the
term tax carries with it in the
minds Of some, a feeling Of fear-a |
great bug-bear, not real but purely 1
imaginary The truth is that even
now we are paying an enormous !
tax. No state in the union imposes |
like the tax on its oiti-
