The state OF New York will probably be
benefited by Jay Gould's death in q good
round sum, approximating $3.50, 1000. Under
the laws Of New York personal property
''trusted" for the benefit OF heirs is liable to
an Inheritance tax Of l per cent Real
estate to lineal heirs is exempt from the
law, but stocks, bonds and similar securi-
ties, which formed the bulk Of the dead mil
lionaires fortune. are held to be person al
property and must therefore pay the tax.
In computing the value OF such securities
for taxation their actual and not their nom
inal value must be used. 1t may cause the
tax assessors and the trustees some little
trouble to arrive at the "actuap value of
stocks that may be worth half q dozen
prices during the market hours of any
given day, but when they fix on some basis
of calculation the amount found due the
state will not be far from $3.50 900. Had
Mr.. Gould been aware of this tax on per-
sonal property left in trust he would prob
ably have arranged his affairs differently.

Sunday at the Fair.

Chicago will not be satisfied until the law
prohibiting the opening of the Columbian
fair on Sundays is repealed. When con-
gress made the appropriation of IS, 900, 600
for the fair at tue last session it coupled it
with a condition that tho fair should be
closed on Sundays
This is satisfactory TO those who own bar
rooms, beer gardens and theaters in Chicago,
but it is not satisfactory to the great majority
of the Chicago people, and to those who have
stock in the fair. This winter, therefore, a
determined effort will be made to get con-
gress 60 repeal she law prohibiting Sunday
opening.
The fair managers have been busy re-
Gently working up sentiment against the
law. Some time ago they secured from
Bishop Potter, Of New York. an opinion to
the effect that Sunday opening would be In
the interest Of morality and the public well
fare. The good bishop pointed out that the
sentiment in favor Of Sunday closing was
modern and local. and there was no good
reason for 1t.
A few days ago Cardinal 0ibboss wrote a
letter to high official Of the fair, In which
he supports the policy of keeping the fair
open on Sundays. In his letter he says.
"Fhe Sunday closing of this spectacle would
be very unfortunate for many thousauds Of
our countrymen, who would be tempted to
spend the day In dissipation. In their name
would favor the opening of the fair Sun
day afternoon to evening. with the pro-
vision that all machinery should be stopped
and all mechanical and laboring work that
will not be urgently necessary should cease.
In this do not see any desscration of the
holiness of the day; on the contrary, those
who will visit the fair on these days will be
inclined to raise their minds and hearts to
him who inspired men who produce such
marvellous things"
This question Of opening the fair on Sun
days Is going to be an interesting one this
winter, and the chances are that the law
prohibiting Sunday opening will be re-
pealed. Congress will not be able to with
stand the pressure In favor Of its repeal j,
notwithstanding that 1t will have the sup
port Of very large percentage Of the
church-going people of the country. What
Chicago wants she generally gets, and she
is going into the Sunday opening fight TO
win. 1t will hardly be denied that If the
law is repealed a long step will be taken
toward breaking down the Sunday closing
sentiment throughout the country.

About Noses.

There are those now who pretend to read character by the shape of the nose. They say that large nostrils show courage. People of fearless dis position breathe fully and freely. All the fiereer animals have dilated nostrils. The dropping nostril shows histrionic talent. If the nose also droops, it de- notes tragic power, and if only the nostril the capacity is marked for the interpretation of comedy. Where the nose is thin at the bridge it shows gen. erosity; while a nose that is thick at the bridge argues acquisitiveness. When it is ''tip-tilted like the petal of flow CT" the person ia inquisit;ve. A pro- jecting nose argues disposition to in- vestigate. It is ahead of the person, as it were, and wants to scent out things. Look at your nose in the glass and see what sort of person you are anyway.

Bleaching Paper.

Very satisfactory results are now be- ing obtained by some of the English pa per manufacturers in bleaching paper by electricity, the process rendering the paper perfectly white. without in the least injuring it's strength. The process in question depends on the use of a so- lution of magnesium chloride, which is decompoSed by the action of Q strong electric current into chlorine and oxy- gen on the one hand, and into magnesi- am and hydrogen on the other.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Ways in Which We Are Better or Than x Our GrandfatieEs.


 x Our GrandfatheEs.
 Men are prone to look back at old times as good times when the world went better than it does to-day and the sun shone considerably brighter. The mists of years soften outlines and round off angles. The man looking backward sees things thus softened and poetized. At least too often for truth the ordinary man so sees the past and depicts it to the present. There are some men who are so gifted with the ability to put away illusions that they can paint the past as it was, not as it might, could, would or should have been. Col. s. C.. l Wrightington comes within this cate gory, says the Boston Transcript, and his picture of labor in a New England manufacturing town fifty years ago is a revelation to this generation and Q reminiscence whose fidelity will be recognized by all who were toilers at that time Life and labor in the mills in the time described were hard. The operative worked longer than the opera tive of to-day, and under conditions more unfavorable to his comfort Neither were the laboring classes so well fed and housed as they are to-day. It does not appear, however, that the laborers of fifty years ago felt their lot to be a particularly hard one. Every body labored long and hard then. The mill people labored with the rest. That the moral ana intellectual tone of mill operatives was much higher than it is to-day is undoubtedly Q fact It is cer- tified by the fact that so large pro portion of them came from the hardy, intelligent yeomanry of New England. The operatives were intelligent, not be- cause of their surroundings, but despite them.
 The laboring classes of to-day are better paid, better clothed, better housed and better fed than their fathers were. They have more money and they spend more. It is often said Of them that they spend all, but that this is not the truth is demonstrated by the tre- mendous growth of savings-banlC de posits. The progress of the laboring class in the matter of wage-earning is often lost sight of by them, and is care fully kept out of sight by professional agitators, who fatten o2 the discoGtcat they stir up. Tn reality the improve ment of their lot has kept pace with the improvement of the general lot Making due allowance for tAe eos: O. preparation and study, we doubt if tho ordinary professional men IS a class earn incomes as greatly in excess ot those their fathers earned IS are the in comes of the laboring men of 1891 over those of 1841.
 The improvement in the lot of the laboring classes has been due to the in troduction of labcr-saving machinery, to better transportation facilities, to the growth of the belief that recreation is not wasteful but necessity, and to the opportunity our government offers for working reforms without cspsifg revolutions.

 In the matter of courtships and wed dings Scottish people preserve an extra ordinary number of peculiar custom and fanciful superstitions, writes a cor respondent of the Boston Transcript It is deemed unlucky to alter the frs width of an engagement ring.

A GREEDY GIRL.
She Broke Her Promise and Cabbage
 All the Rare Ferns.


 A story was recently told ne by a lady who had just returned from camp ing in the Yosemite valley, says writer in Garden and Forest. A friendly guide. when asked about the ferns of the re- zion. answered that he would have to know her long time before he would be willing to tell her about the kinds in the valley, and continued; "I know you don't mean any harm, but there was a young woman here from the bay-a great botanist-and I told her of fern that only grew in two places, so far as knew, in the whole region. Then she was wild to see it. I told her she might have some leaves to press in her brown paper books, but warned her not tc pull up any. Don't you s'pose I know better than to spoil your fern gar den?' replied the college girl. So l showed her where the stuff grew-one place, where the most Of. 1t was, under some dry brush had put there-and l made her promise again not to tell any one, and not to pull it up. I said to her: I guess there ein't but two clumps of it in the Yosemite, and my idea is it ought to stay here. 1t would be 6 kind O. murder to drive it out Then sh< looked real pretty, and said sh; entirely agreed with me.

A Pct Spider.

A spider is the novel pet of Laings- burg (Mich.) girl. He is kept under a goblet and carefully fed, positively re- fusing to begin meal until three or four flies have been thrust into his apartment. These he lets walk all around him and even over him, allow ing them to think him perfectly harm less, until in some of their trips under his nose he apparently wakes up and grabs them, After one of these meals he loses his appetite fer about forty eight hours. He seems quite content with ten flies a week.
