A St. Pau, View Of II.

The ST Paul (Minn.) Globe says that
all the arguments against taxes oh peif'-
sonal property and incomes reduca
themselves to this: 'Men will not pay
taxes on any thing unless they have to.
and will therefore lie and pefjure then.
selves to be free from their bMrdcn
If it be admitted that the states ma.
chinery is not adequate TO overcoms
such an obstacle II declares that ''ws
had better abolish the tax on every
thing except real estate at once" be-
cause the present state Of affairs in
which Some people pay something Ola
some of their property, and others moth.
ing on any of it, is deplorable and not
to be endured. The Globe reaches y
sound conclusion through false reason.
ing. There are better reasons than it
presents for ''abolishing the tax Oh
every thing except real estate;" but
they go further and warrant the aboli.
ton of all of those taxes on real estata
that fall on buildings or other improve
ments There are plenty of sound ar
guments against the taxation of per-
sonal property, but the argument most
likely to commend itself to the favor ct
our Minnesota contemporary is that
taxes on the products of labor tend to
restrict production, and the same argu-
ment applies to taxes on buildings,
whereas tax on land values can not
diminish the area of land, and it does
tend to bring large proportion Of tts
existing area into use.

ed. Mr.. Fippen member of the In
diana legislature, had bill before the
lower house which provided for tho
erection by cities of water works, elec-
tric lights, and artificial and natural
gas plants. To raise the money neces-
sary to erect these plants, the bill pro-
posed that Gland" alone be taxed. The
bill had passed the house and had been
sent to the senate; but meantime some
one, had got it through his head that
taking land" was the single tax idea.
whereupon he went around the assem-.
bly, chamber shouting that the Fippen
bill was "Henry George" bill. He
frightened enough OF the members tn
get vote through recalling the bill
from the senate, and while the STAN
pede was still on, a motion was put
through to postpone action on it indefi.

A Doctors Ingenious Trick.

A curious story comes from Berlin,
showing how a cheat was discovered.
A man who was accused of theft set up
a plea of insanity, thereby hoping to
escape punishment Prof. Mendel, a
noted specialist, was deputed to ex-
anime the prisoner and report on the
state of his mind. He found the man
lying in bed. To all the questions put,
such as how old he was, where he lived.
what he was called, the prisoner inva-
riably answered: 81 don't know" Then
the professor took mark out of his
purse and asked how much it was. II
don't know was the answer, as be-
fore. The professor then asked for the
prisoners purse, out of which he took
a mark, and once more the man de-
clared that he didn't know it's value;
whereupon Prof Mendel put a groschen
into the prisoners purse, while trans
ferring the mark to his own. why,

you've made mistake" The impos-
ture was made bare and the impostol

horses had been purchased BY man
much resembling Livingston, but here
giving the name of Peck. The horses
were shipped to Buffalo, whittier "Mr,
Peck" stated that he was going.
Here was a long-sought clew, and the
officer lost no time in visiting Buffalo,
to learn further of Mr.. Pecks present
abode. Another disappointment met
him here. The freight books showed
that the horses had been received two
or three months previously, and taken
away, but nothing further was known
concerning them or Mr.. Peck.
Nothing daunted, however, the in
curry was pursued, and finally the
horses were traced to a stable, but
were now owned by Mr.. Welch. Sew
eral other animals were purchased. and

The Man Who Sat on His Hat Had to suf-

1t was on a suburban train coming
into Jersey City. A bald-headed, fussy-
looking man, with pair of spectacles
on his nose and his hat on the seat be-
side him, kept rubbing his pate in a
nervous way and hitching about on tn
seat as if he was afraid of tacks. Cp-
posite him sat a man who was clo sely
watching his movements and chuc'Kling
and grinning until the attention of a
dozen people was attracted. He was
finally asked to explain, and he said:
"The old chap over there sat down on
my hat, stepped on MY toes and elbowed
my ribs, and didn't apologize. I deter
mined to get even with him. He al
ways sits in that seat if it isn't occu-
pied, and he always hunts around to
find a paper instead of buying one. I'm
getting even with him this morning."
"But how?''
'That paper is just three years old
to-day. 1t cost me fifty cents to procure
it, but I've had fifty dollars worth OF
revenge. Ileft it on the seat, and he's
been reading it for the last twenty
miles. See?''
The old fellow struck the headlines
of railroad accident, looked puzzled,
bobbed up and down, and slowly shook
his head. He jumped from that to a
murder-on to news from Washington
and for a minute was interested in the
stock market Then he folded the paper
up, removed his glasses and looked out
of the window with a troubled express
sion on his face.
Hes wondering if his mind isn't Civ
ing way, and is half-scared to death!'
chuckled the joker. "Been flattering
himself that he is good for twenty years
yet, and the first thing he does when he
gets to the city will be to buy some
brain food and a liver pad. I'm not
bad, bad man, but the chap who sits
down on my hat must at least apollo
rize."-N. Y. Sun.

Affections.
Hundreds of people are made deaf in
consequence of neglect of their ears:
during scarlet fever. One of the most
common complications is disease of
the middle ear but if properly treated
it need not necessarily injure the hear
ing. There is always Inflammation OF
the throat, sometimes so severe that it
is difficult to distinguish scarlet fever
from diphtheria. The Inflammation
of the inner ear and the forma-
ton of pus cause bulging OF
the drum membrane, and this ulcer is
usually allowed to rupture. If, instead,
the doctor would puncture the drum
membrane the discharge would occur
without injury. This puncture needs
to be done skilfully, and at particular
place, and also at the proper stage of
the discharge often takes the whole
drum membrane, and the hearing is
utterly ruined.
If the ossicles have not been injured
too much, false membrane may be in
troduced to the great relief of the deaf
ness Artificial ear drums which are
advertised for from five to ten dol
lars each, cost about five cents,
as all that is necessary is
some resisting substance, "a little
bit of cotton fastened with a
thread and moistened often answers
all purposes, and can be frequently
taken out and cleaned. Take good
quality of cotton, and with toothpick
tease little of it out so that the fbers
shall all run in one direction. Fasten
with thread. moisten and insert by
means of a wooden toothpick well
wound with cotton. This at least will
serve to show whether the ear will be
benefited by the use of an artificial
drum or not. I have known persons
who heard with difficulty close to the
ear who were able to hear whisper at
quite distance after the insertion OF
this simple drum.-Dr. j. Il. Kellogg.
