Dsfying Natural Laws.

A man who boasted Of his practical,
matter-of-fact way Of looking at any
question submitted for his opinion, waa
asked what he thought regarding the
possibility Of inventing perpetual mo-
tion machine. With fne scorn for the
visionary theorists who maintain that
since action and reaction are equal
and opposite, perpetual motion Il an
absurdity, he replied: IT Is evident
that if a siphon can draw water from .
cask into barrel It can also draw II
back again. Therefore, It Is only nec-
essary to utilize the force Of the rum
ming water, In order to operate . MAJ
chine for an indefinite period"
When the theorists laughed at him,
he at once proceeded to demonstrate
the truth Of his assertion by taking
hold Of his bootstraps and lifting him.

fortunate at such times to have a man
like Clipper-one cast in the heroic

''That 'Wymer meeting then,'' sug-
gested North, reverting to the nearer
event, twas not a very brilliant sue
cess, imagine?'
''Success? It was regular fzzle!
How could it be anything else with
such a set to run it? A house divided
against itself can't stand, particularly
when it has such shalxy foundation.

"No," answered North, mentally quail
flying the negative.

stunning leader on Our Candidate for
City Attorney You'll see it in the
Times to-day. It's a capital thing, and
the best of it is, you might suppose that
he meant every word Of it."
''He represents me as a gentleman
and a scholar, does hc?" suggested
North, with laughing glance at War
ner, while through his mind the thought
flashed quickly:
$50 Clipper is an editor--that's one
fact learned!'
"Yes; or a-what was that Roman
fellows name? Clipper knows it-ready
to fling yourself into the abyss, you
know, and save our municipal govern
ment. All! here's the Office. Well,
I'll see you later, North -
And with this safe prediction, and a
hasty wave of his hand, Warner hurried
on alone and was speedily swallowed
up by distance and the crowd.
Though lost to sight, to memory

energetic figure vanished from his
grateful view. 'What should I have
done but for his timely appearance? I
might have been drifting aimlessly
about the city, or else still stranded on
tainly should not have been anchored
where l now am--at s and 5 Market
square"
He glanced up with interest at the
imposing brown stone front and the
polished plate glass window on which
he saw the firm name, ''North & Wes-
colt, Attorneys and Counselors at
Law" emblazoned in gilt letters. Then,
turning to the door, he entered the
outer Office, one Of handsome suite of
chambers.
At the various desks were seated half
a dozen clerks and students, some por-
ing over huge volumes of law, others
busily writing. They all glanced up as
North entered and greeted him with a
''Good morning, Mr.. North!'' in which
a becoming Difference and jovial good
fellowship were blended; and he re-
sponded with gracious courtesy.
Then he inquired, addressing them
all in general way:
HAS Mr.. Wescott come down yet?"
"Yes, sir; Mr.. Wescott is in the pri.
vate office" answered one of the clerks,
with an Involuntary jerk of his head
toward the door Of that room.

He Wandered.

A few years ago.a Boston physician
encountered a romance in his own fami-
~ which excited his amusement, says
the Mahogany Tree. An aged relative,
woman Of eighty-eight, married a
man few years her junior. It was a
love match. DIR. G.. found much food
for reflection in the romance. Some
time after,vard he met DIR. Holmes, and
in course of chat, as they walked
down Beacon street, he related the in
cident to the autocrat of the Breakfast
Table. 1t amused him immensely. He
chuclxIed over it in various tones Of
voice until he reached his own door.
He bade DIR. c. good night and started
up the steps. Suddenly he turned back
and called: ''Oh, by the way, doctor,
one moment" DIR. C. turned back and
Holmes came down the steps again..

TO MAKE LABOR LIGHTER.
Little Things That Make Housework Less
Burdens0me.

Little Things That Make Homework Less
Burdensome.
Little things that may be easily
remedied often cause homework to be-
come burdensome. The first thing that
wants to be done in most kitchens is to
raise the stove six inches or foot, so
that woman can work at it without
that stoop which does more to bring on
settled ache in the spine than all the
hard labor that falls to her lot. Stove,
tables and sink should be high enough
so that work can be done straight
standing, and the relief this adj
justment gives will never be realized
till one tries it. This is not a matter
of mere comfort, but affects the health
and vitality of women. Our grand
mothers got their bowed shoulders by
cooking by the hearth. before stoves
were known, and the plan was no
benefit to them or their children.
Next contrive ventilator in theceil-
ing to carry off the heat and odors.
The reason so many housekeepers suf-
fer with neuralgia is because they live
in such an overheated air, with odors
of cooking growing rank about the up
per part of the room, and breathing
foul air out Of the sink drain; they be-
come enfeebled by heat and victims of
thorough blood poisoning. Persons
who live constantly in such rooms do
not notice the bad air and the worst
conditions do not always smell the
worst. There should be a brick knocked
out of the chimney just below the cell
ing, and an iron or tin slide put in its
place, to be kept open except when

A New Workers. Suggestion.

As a frequent visitor to Baltimore on
business from New York, and interest
ed in the effort that is being made here,
as in my own state, to introduce broad
economic principles in the levying OF
taxes, permit me to call attention, in
view of your reference to our work in
your able editorial to-day, to the fact
that, strangely as it may seem to some,
it is mainly the real estate interest in
the city of New York which is urg-
ing the bill in our legislature for local
option in the matter of taxes. It is
dore with the view Of making real es-
tate shoulder all the taxes, and doing
away altogether with personal taxa-
ton; the hoped-for gain being in gen.
eral advance of the city's prosperity.
This would, it is believed, react to the
advantage of real estate owners in the
end, by establishing place where cap
ital can come and be unmolested; q
place where the farce of trying to col
lect personal tax will not be enacted;
a tax which always has and, in the
nature of things, always will, be une-
qually distributed, tax which does
not stay where it is put, but passes on
till it reaches the consumer, except in
the few instances where it is at once
laid on property in the home of the
consumer. Even here, however, Il has
the disadvantage, to the extent of the
sum drained from him, of preventing
him from gratifying his never-ending
desire for more property, and which
this demand would cali into being,
of course, for his use, or that of
others.
Baltimore is making an effort to in
duce capital to take advantage of her
natural resources, which are so great.
Is not this the most promising way for
her to secure it? Or, will she let New
York, with less natural advantages, all
told, get ahead of her again because of
being first to adopt principle of po-
litical economy that may be said to be
established-the inexpediency Of taxing
personal property.
OF course, you can do nothing in this
way with the Maryland Declaration Of
Rights confronting You. But with that,
as with bad law, it is best, as you
seem to hint, to make it odious by car
rying it into effect to the letter--Henry
Z. Hinton, in Baltimore News.

Iced Oranges.

Peel six oranges, carefully removing
all the white skin and seeds, and sepa-
rate into small portions. Whip the
white of one egg with three tablespoon
fuls of water, then add a dessert
spoonful of powdered sugar. Mix these
well together and strain through .
fine wire sieve into fat vessel. Dip
the pieces of fruit first INTO very good
sherry and then into this mixture, and
roll carefully in sifted granulated
sugar. Place each piece separately son
3 platter until dry, and arrange taste-
fully in q glass dish.
The seeds are easily removed by cut
ting through the portions Of fruit in
the center just deep enough to pinch
out the seed without losing much

Tax LAWS Should Not Discriminaie
Against Corporations.

In every scheme Of taxation proposed
BY the farmers, stock corporations have
been the target at which all the darts
have been hurled. While professedly
no difference has been made between
corporate capital and individual or Arm
capital so far as general taxation is
concerned. yet the requirements Of
them as to an exhibition of the affairs
of their business for the purposes Of as
sessment and taxation have gone so far
as to be absolutely inquisitorial, and
would not for day be tolerated by the
people if required of individuals or
firms Such requirements might per-
haps be properly made when they are
for safeguards to the public as to the
financial responsibility of corporations;
but in the proposed tax they are only
for the purpose of getting at evey dol
lar of property for the purposes of tax
alton, while the individual or firm is in
no wise interrogatcd on such matters.
The result is that every corporation
covered by the tax bills is brought to
strict account. while capital employed
by individuals or firms, even though 1t
be just as large, may go absolutely free
according to the diligence or caprice of
the assessor.
The corporation is but an aggrega-
tion of individuals associated together
under statute for the purposes Of busi-
ness, and it seeks to add to the sum
total of wealth to the state and to its
individual shareholders In the same
manner that the efforts Of q firm or in-
dividuals do. Why then ought they TO
be Disseminated against and heavier
burdens be imposed on them than ON
capital employed in other ways? In
theory there may be no discrimination,
but the merest tyro in business knows
that such is the practical 3result The
result will be that corporate capital
will be driven from the state and will
be employed elsewhere, and the state
will be the loser of the wealth that
otherwise would be created within its
limits.
1t has always been the policy of the
state to encourage manufacturing and
business corporations, consequently ev-
cry community has seen many Of its
old and successful business houses reor-
ganized under the corporate laws OF
the state and thus the business saved to
the community from disintegration
which would have resulted in the event
of the death of its founder and finan-
cial head. Is it just that such corpora
tions should be treated other than their
competitors who may be doing business
under the copartnership laws?
