When any kind of food is fried in
grease at a temperature which permits
it TO become soddened with fat, it is al
most impossible of digestion. The lit
tie food particles are encased SO that
the gastric juice can not reach them to
do its work, since it does not act at all
upon the fats Stomach digestion is
then either very imperfect or wholly
wanting, and extra work is imposed
upon the digestive fluids further on
the pancreatic juice and the bile Foods
fried in very hot fat may have the in
side protected and so little upon the
outside that it will not soil a napkin
and unless the Drowned portion is en-
tirely removed, it will be hindranee
to digestion. There is a further obiec-
ton in that if fat is allowed to become
in the least scorched. it develops cresy-
lie acid. which is very poisonous. This
acid is noticeable in the smell Of the

Brenda felt very lonely and guilty
after leaving town with Louis and his
wife. Acertain dim suspicion had crept
into her mind, and, although there were
times when she told herself that she
hideously wronged her sister-in-law, 1t
still occurred that special moments OF
anxiety and alarm would work their
darker spells. Louis frightened a little

How to Tax Mines.

The Detroit Tribune had, in recent
issue, q remark to the effect that "The
democratic scheme to tax the northern
Michigan mines out of existence won't
win Commenting on this the Detroit
News says:
The democratic nor any other party
could ''tax the northern Michigan mines
out of existence if it had the most in
tense desire to do SO. The mines were
in northern Michigan before there were
any democrats, and they Will be there
when all the democrats are dead and
forgotten. 10.
But while the democrats could, by
bad legislation, shut up our mines, they
could also. by good legislation, compel
their working to their utmost capacity,
giving labor employment, reducing the
price of the raw material, through in-
creased production, and enabling every
manufacturing concern using iron and
copper to increase the sales. The dem
ocrats could do all this by changing onr
present tax law from specific tax oq
the product of the mine to a direct tax
on the value of the mine, independent
of all improvements. Our present tax
law dealing with mining property
makes it advantageous to work as few
mines as possible. Consequently there
are many thousands of acres of mining
lands in Michigan, containing millions
of dollars worth OF ore, paying prac-
tical!y no tax at all. .s ......H.

English Land Tax.

Commenting on the debate on land

Michael Davitt's paper. the Labor

parliament of England had reduced the
land tax which formerly constituted the
bulk of revenues OF the English govern
ment, to merely nominal proportion
of the total amount raised by taxation,

tain accurately. Eut it is generally
computed at land. G20o. 600, 900 to E35O.-
900, 600. This vast sum is not the result
of from lord energy, Intelligence, or
outlay. 1t is the earning, the creation
of the industrial community. If every
landlord in Great Britain eufrrated to
the antipodes and remained there for
ever. the economic value of the land
would go on producing the wealth
which the landed aristocracy is now ap-
propriatng as its property. The intiu-

upon the production of this wealth is
about equal to that which they eSer-

Instead of Eve millions, the entire

FITTED LIKE THE SKIN.
How an American Girl Aroused the Envy
of the Riviera DANES.

How an American Girl Aroused the Envy
of the Riviera Danes.
A lady writes to one of the London
society papers the following remark
able story, which is very illustrative OF
the mass of twaddlc constantly written
about the American girl in Europe.
She dates her letter from Nice and con-
tiuues:
"A pretty Eoston girl was going to a
very smart dinner one night, and an
equally smart ball the next: she wore a
white dress, and this is how she made
snre of the white kid bodice being
quite perfect in fit. She has very
good natural figure and has acquired
an extremely slender waist, which was
laced in to its smallest possible limit
On this occasion the kid was damped
and then sewn on, so as to leave no Wis
iblc fastening.
''The result was that after sitting in
a warm room for two hours her figure
was AS neatly incased as If in a tight
fitting glove. The same damping pro.
cess was followed with regard to thu
tiny white shoes, which were lnade to
iit her bare feet tightly, and thus insure
n very good fit over stockings.
"Shc did not undress for the two
davs, resting on a sofa for tf1e night
and wearing thin dress over her white
kid bodice in the day. She was i'm
mcnsely admired by all the men she
met on both nights. and the Jealous
criticism of many of the women testi-
fed to the fact that her exquisite figure,
which had cost her so much troubl o.
had reaped reward. d."--Philadelp phis

ago, gentleman named Murphy

short, and because he was very COM

ply owned land in Tipperary; but as
he had an agent in Tipperary to collect

that the most comfortabl place in Dub
lin, in fact the most comfortable place
in the whole world, was--in bed. So
he went to bed and stayed there for
nearly eight years; not because he was
at all i'll, but because he liked it. He
ate his dinners, and drank his wine,
and smoked his cigars, and read, and
played cards. and received visitors, and
verified his agents accounts, and drew
checks--all in bed. After eight years
lying in bed, he grew tired of it, got up,
dressed himself, and Or some years
went around like other people, and then
died But his family were just as well
off as though he had never gone to bed
in fact, they were better off; for
while his income was not whit dimin
ishcd by his going to bed, his expenses
were.
This was a typical landowner -
landowner pure and simple. Now let
the working farmer consider what
would become Of himself and family if
he and his boys were to go to bed and
stay there, and he will realize how
much his interests as laborer exceed
his interests as landowner.

Why the Farmer Should Favor the
Single Tax. i

SO far from the effect of placing all
taxes upon the vaIne of land being tc
the advantage of the towns at the ex-
pensc of the agricultural districts, the
very reverse of this is obviously true.
The great increase of land values is in
the cities, and with the present tenden-s
cies of growth this must continue to be
the case. Toplace all taxes on the value
of land would be to reduce the taxation
of agricultural districts relatively to
the taxation of towns and cities.
And this would be only just; for it is
not alone the presence OF their own
populations which gives value to the
lands of towns and cities, but the pres
encc of the more scattered agricultural
population, for whom they. constitute
industrial, commercial and financial
ccntcrs.
The land holders of Detroit are burst
ing with indignation. The city assess
ors have been assessing the land of that
city at higher rate than ever before
and have thus added several millions
to the taxable values. The Detroit
journal thinks that 1.-The ideas of Henry.
George have not been without in fluence
on the assessors, for there has been a
more systematic effort to get at land

Journal, who are holding for an in
crease of land value"-wil be pinched
terribly, many of them to the point at
which they will be forced to sell to those
who will ir-prcve, or else improve
themselves" Good.
TRACING out the cause of unequal dis
tribution of wealth which appears In
all civilized countries, with, a constant
tendency to greater and greater in
equality as material progress goes on,
we have found it in the fact that, as
civilization advances. the ownership Of
land, now il private hands, gives
greater and greater power of appro-
priating the wealth produced by labor
and capital:-Progress and Poverty.

That the Western association is not

ISOLATION is shown by the action of
number of base ball managers who met

gentlemen present were: Edgar Web
Ster, representing President Beck, Of

Harrington, of Minneapolis. Mr.. Web
ster was sent to the Twin Cities to con-
suit with the managers here in regard
to Van Dyke, who is the keystone of
the trouble between the two asso-
Citations. Van Dyke was under con-
tract with the Athletics, of Phila-
delphia, BUT when the Americans broke
away from the national agreement
Sioux City signed the little left fielder.
The American association managers i'm
mediately gave it out that the Western
association would rue the day it began
making reprisalS on the older asSocia-
ton. Very soon it was learned that
Western association players were being
approached by the American. among
the men sounded being Killen. of Min

After discussing the situation yester-
day, on Mr.. Watkins advice Mr. Web

Cincinnati to waive claim to Van Dyke
if on examination of contracts it was
found that the player had really signed
with Philadelphia previous TO append
ing his name to Western contract.

A Mortgage suggestion.

To the Editor of the Globe
In your issue of the 10th inst. you
publish Mr.. Tawney's substitute bill
for taxing mortgages. Would it not be
much easier to assess property at its
full value and allow the party holding
the fee to the property to ask for a
mortgage receipt for the amount of
mortgage against his property (paying
the balance under a regular receipt),
and be entitled under the law to use
this same receipt for the payment of in
terest or principal as far as the same
will reach? This would do away with
keeping track of mortgages as far as
the officials are concerned, leaving it to
the property owner, whose interest il
certainly would be to take care of same.
The city and state would receive all the
taxes without fear of any straw mort
cages. and, i'll case OF non-payment of
taxes. the property would be holden Tor
the whole tax. Such law would no
doubt take them all in, and might tenn
porarily increase the rate of interest,
but only temporarily. as the rate OF in
tereSt is naturally established by the
supply and demand of the money mar
ket. Yours truly, E. II. BoDDEN.
