SUN Spots CAUSE RAIN.

The Minneapolis Tribune says thai
the astronomers have come to the
front with explanations as to the cause
of the protracted rains, numerous cy'
clones, billiards, etc, which have been
so universally experienced this year.
and which have combined TO keep the
spring somewhat in the background.
This is the sun spot period. This time
the sun is having an unusually bad
spell of it. 1t is badly "broken out"
The astronomers who took in the
eclipse from the summit of the Andes
say that the sun has not had such
spottedness for years. Its actions show
it to be greatly disturbed. 1t has
painted the atmosphere scarlet for
hundreds of miles within its vicinity,
and has sent out streamers to the dis
lance of 435, 900 miles into space. The
astronomers and statisticians figure out
that the periods when the sun has had
severe attacks of spots have uniformly
been periods when this globe has had
virulent attacks Of rain-water and
kindred phonemena. From the way
the earth has been visited with rain
and snow during the past six weeks,
we may judge of the way the sun has
had spots this last time.
But the sun spot period is not one for
terrestrial grief, according to the esti-
mates of statisticians; for they find that
such periods of moisture have as rule
been the big crop periods and conse-
quently the periods of prosperous trade
and good times generally. Let us
therefore keep up our umbrellas and a
stiff upper lip, and watch out for the
good times coming, rejoicing in the
meantime over the fact that while Fair
haven's clouds have "preciPitated" a
little more freely than they have been
accustomed to do at this period of the
year, nevertheless we are entirely free
from the dangerous warning of the ele'
ments which seem to be going on "back

A Change of Air on Tap.

Behind the door in many of the up
town physicians Offices is a receptacle
that looks like fire extinguisher. To
this their patients repair at intervals and
fill themselves with its contents with as
little ceremony as they would take a
glass of soda water. What they are
practically doing is changing their eli
mate, going among the heights of Colo
RADIO, to some wind swept isle Of the sea,
out to Lakewood, to the smooth, shin
ing beaches of California without pack
ing their trunks, visiting their dress
makers or undergoing the fatigues of
travel. Those who love the journey, the
life in the great hotel and meeting new
people naturally will not appreciate the
change of air that can be encompassed
in big black bomb.
But for the purposes of health there
are those who insist that it is the same
thing. An economical wife only last
season, finding that the expense of a
summer in the country scarcely seemed
TO balance the paying Of rent at home
and the separation from her husband,
bought herself 5-gallon extinguisher OF
fresh air and set It mp in her dressing
room. By taking regular pulls at the
stopoock several times day she man
aged TO keep herself In fine trim during
O most Indictment summer.--New York

The Standard of True Refinement.

A certain punctilious old gentleman
used to say that no true lady would
ever wear a stocking with hole in it.
The same idea was voiced by a young
girl of later generation, who declared
that she never felt like lady when
there was button off her shoe. Each
put into words an appreciation of the
fact that more is required than out
ward correctness of appearance to
mark the woman whose innate i'm
pulses are all toward refinement. AS
the man of thorough breeding is to be
recognized by his bearing TO his infer
iors, rather than by his conduct to his
equals, as the good housekeeper is
judged by the condition of her cellar
and pantries, rather than by the state
of her parlors, SO is the truly refined
lady distinguished more by the un-
noticeable minutia of her dress, than
by the general outward effect.-From
Ethics of the Mending- Basket in
Demorest's Family Magazine for JAN

A Lesson Of Trust.

Below we give clipping from the
Practical Housekeeper:
Sometime ago little boy was dis
covered in the street, evidently very
bright and intelligent, but sick. a
man who had the feeling of kindness
strongly developed. went to him. shook
him by the shoulder, and asked him
what he was doing there.
"Waiting for God to come for me-
said he, earnestly.
''What do you meanP" said the
gentleman, touched by the pathetic
tone of the answer and the condition
of the boy, in whose eyes and flushed
face be saw the evidence of fever.
'sGod sent for father and mother
and little brother" said he, land took
them away to his home up in the sky,
and mother told me when she was sick
that God would take care of me. /
have noS home, nobody to give me any
thing. and came out here and have
been looking so long up in the sky for
God to take me as mother said he
would. He will come, won't he?
Mother never told lie.''
Yes, my ladI'' said the man, great
" overcome with emotion. He has
sent me to take care of youi"
You should have seen his eyes flash
and the smile OF triumph break over
his face as he said:
Mother never told a lie, sir; but
you have been 50 long on the way"

Hold ND, Please.

1t is enough to make fellow rush
out into the woodshed and kick the
cat into two halves to read the mass of
stuff printed in the republican papers
in relation to the tariff. Why, the
Mckinley bill is in full force and the
duty on wool is twice as much as the
price of American wool, and yet wool
has steadily declined in price in Amer
lea since the passage of the bill.
There was no duty on wool for thirty
five years after the first tariff bill was
passed in 1889. The infant indurtry
government pap. No other manfactur-
ing and wool-producing country main
tains tax on wool. Great britain
under free trade has nearly as many
sheep per capita of the population,
even on the high priced lands, as the
United States have, with their vast
plains of cheap grazing. The Ameri-
can farmer gets no good from the duty
on wool, and everybody is robbed by
it.
Very recently the largest consign-
ment of American carpets ever sent to
England was sent by the shippers
Dodson & Co., of Philadelphia, for 20
per cent less than English carpets
could be bought for, and for twenty
i've years we have sold right in the city
of Manchester cotton goods in conpe-
tition with English goods. We have
sold cotton goods in Manchester cheap
er than they could be sold in Chanute,
and now the republicans are declaring
that an advaloren system of levying
tariff is shield for frauds. They
seemed to have overlooked the fact
that nearly so per cent of the tariff
duties levied by the Mckinley bill is
advalOrem. Bnt the most amusing
thing is to see how they have all turned
right face about since the defeat of
Mr.. Harrison. Then they all attribut-
ed the Waterloo TO tom fool and
ridiculously high tariff, and called Nc
Kinley down.-Chanute Blade.

The Proposed Income Tax.

The New York Tribune in recent
editorial against the income tax says:
The first objection to this tax is that
it never has been, and never can be,
honestly or fairly enforced. The dis
honest escape while the more honest
pay. 1t is a tax which offers pre-
MUM on false swearing, concealment
OF property and income, and all kinds
of devices for cheating the govern
ment. Experience years ago taught
that these devices were demOraliZing
to the public and CONNER cial
integrity. Bribery of local officials
was one of the evil consequences. An
education in false swearing and con-
science twisting was another. The tax
was used. moreover, in every part of
the country by some individuals to
satisfy their grudges against rivals in
business, or to cause betrayal of busi-
ness methods and results.
Why is it that these objections do
not secure the repeal of the tax in
England? Incomes have been taxed
in that country for more than a gener-
alton, and the system works so salts
factorily that no political party at
tempts to disturb it. If an English
man resorts to bribery or false swear
ing to escape his tax he goes to prision
and there is no reason why we should
not be equally rigorous in this country.
An income tax is an equitable tax.
IL is levied on wealth and not on in
dustTy. The percentage of the tax can
easily beNchanged every year to meet
the needs Of the treasury, and the
change would not. like tariff duties,
effect the prices of raw materials and
manufactured products.
A man with an income Of $40, 900 a
year would, under 2 per cent. tax,
pay 5000 a year, and if his income is
$l00, 900 he would pay 81 900, because
in his case the tax would be per
cent.
We need this tax to make up the de-
ficiency in the treasury that will be
caused by the coming reduction of tar.
fff duties, but we also need it because
it is just and equitable. The burden
of taxation should be born by the
men who are best able to bear 1.-THE
men who enjoy the largest share of
benefits under our government. II
is the height of injustice to let a
citizen with an income of $4,000 20
untaxed, while his neighbor with a
cottage or farm pays perhaps 500
a year. Let us tighten the burden of
industry and place our taxes where
they will be felt the least.-Atlanta
Constitution.
