One day penniless literary man called
on Lamartine, who was then at the height
of his fame as statesman and an author
The visitor told Lamartine of his hopeless
life and of his poverty, and ended by asking
him for the loan of a considerable sum of
money.
Lamartine, who was much moved by the
mans story, gave him the sum asked for.
The poor fellow, overcome with his unex-
pected success, could only sob out his
thanks and kiss the hand of his benefactor.
After his visit had lasted about half an
hour Lamartine conducted the man to the
door. The season was early winter, and as
the statesman opened the door he noticed
that the unfortunate man was clad in thin
summer clothes, and that he trembled like
an aspen leaf.
He glanced at the rack, on which was his
own overcoat and hat. Selling the coat,
he said to his trembling visitor, Monsieur,
you have forgotten your overcoat."
Before the poor man could make any OBJ
lection and declare that he did not bring
any overcoat with him, and that be had not
had one for some years Lamartine placed
his own upon him, shook his hand and
with generous heartiness pushed him
quietly out and closed the door behind him.
This story would never have been given
to the world had it depended on Lamar
tines telling. Years afterward the once
unfortunate author rose to, be one of the
foremost men in France and told the story
of the generosity of Lamartine.-Youth's

The Earliest English Almanac.

The earliest English printed almanac is
the calendar of Shepardes, of the Fifteenth
century. But many almanacs must have
come into existence when Queen Elizabeth
gave the monopoly of publishing them to
two members of the Stationers' company.
King James afterward extended the patent
to include the company in its corporate ca
pacity and the two universities, which last
assigned their rights for yearly considera-
ton to the company.
But with the civil war the monopoly was
broken through. Oxford, where the king
chiefly resided, might issue its loyal alma.
macs, but the more popular and widely cir
culated was the almanac of William Lilley,
the astrologer, first issued for 1913. under
the title, "Merlini Anglici Ephemeris. ~
The English Merlin is to be credited with
the foresight of getting upon the winning
side and prorhesying boldly, for the parlia-
ment was presently justified by the over
whelming victories of his party. In the
issue of The Ephemeris for 1647, the prophet,
writing in October, 1916, launched out into
bold paan of victory: "A new world since
this time twelve monthsi Townes and cities
taken or surrendered, armies royale routed,
the parliament forces ubicunque, victori-
GUS, his majesty distressed, the prince fled
beyond the sea-"
He does not hesitate to show how the ap-
preaching conjunction of Mars and Jupiter
presages still further calamity for the royal
head. But his triumph does not make the
prophet magnanimous He has no words
too scornful for rival seer who has en-
deavored to find encoura cement in the stars
for the losing side.-All the Year Round.

The Verdict of the Jury.
The Ragpickers of Paris.

The wealth of Paris is so boundless that
the rubbish and refuse of the city are worth
millions. There are more than $4,000 per-
sons who earn living by picking up what
others throw away. Twenty thousand
women and children exist by sitting and
sorting the gatherings of the pickers VINO
collect every day in the yeaI about LOO
tons of merchandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 1000 francs.
At night you see men with baskets strapped
on their backs, lantern in one hand and
in the other a stick with an iron hook on
the end. They walk along rapidly, their
eyes fixed on the ground, over which the
lantern filings a sheet of light, and what
ever they find in the way of paper, rags,
bones. grease, metal, etc, they stow away
in their baskets In the morning in front
of each house you see men, women and
children sitting the dustbins before they
are emptied into the scavengers' carts
At various hours of the day you may re-
mark isolated ragpickers, who seem to
work with less method than the others and
with a more independent air. The night
pickers are generally novices-men who,
having been thrown out of work, are
obliged to hunt for their living like the
wild beasts. The morning pickers are eN
perienced and regular workers, who pay
for the privilege of sitting the dustbins Of
a certain number of houses and of trading
with the results. The rest, the mej ority,
are the coureurs, the runners, who exercise
their profession freely and without control,
working when they please and Ioai;ng
when they please. They are The rh;loso-
piers and adventures of the profession.
and their chief object is to enjoy life :.,.,.

PITTsBURG, Feb. Sat the opening of
the Jack Clifford trial yesterday p H. Nc
Elroy. vice president of the Amalgamated
association, was put on the stand as an adj
ditional alibi witness. He said he went to
Homestead on the afternoon of July 6, and
saw Clifford in Amalgamated hall at 2
o'clock Defendant Jack Clifford said he
was engaged as police officer from July
to July for the borough of Homestead;
that he had not been near the Carnegie
plant from a. m. till noon on July G. This
ended the testimony, and the defense rested
its case
Human Testimony Very "Onsartin."
There probably has never been a ease
where the old adage seeing is believing"
received blacker eye than in this one
For the prosecution Clifford was positively
identified by several witnesses as having
been present and active in the attack on
the boats from the first. II was also sworn
that he prepared and used dynamite in the
attack, and in fact that he was peculiarly
malignant in his action against the Pink
ertons on the day of the riot Each side
was allowed two hours to address the
jury.
The Verdict of the Jury.
At TBS p. M. the jury came into court
with verdict of not guilty. Clifford was
removed to Jail on the other charges pend
ing against him. He still has indictments
for murder, treason, and riot 20 answer for.
An effort will be made by his counsel to
secure his release on bail. Hugh O'Don-
nell will be placed on trial Monday. Today

Robbing the Heirs.

The method of raising revenue will
be a much smaller problem when the
peoples representatives stop stealing
and making extravagant appropria-
tions, and limit expenditures to neces-
sary and desirable public objects. The
vicious inheritance taxes are the OUT
growth of the itching palms of legis-
lators and lobbyists who want fat funds
at their disposal This tax was at
tempted in New Hampshire, but upon
appeal It was held to violate the consti-
tutional requirement of proportionality
of taxation. The court said: 1T 10
plainly founded upon pure inequality,
and is simply extortion in the name Of
taxation; and it can therefore never be
sustained in this jurisdiction SO long a.
equality and justice continue to be tho
basis Of constitutional taxation" In
this state the controller is evidently
not concerned relative to ethical ques-
tions of equality and justice, but merely
in results. Hence he recommends yet
more odious and preposterous rnulcting

Taxing Wealth a Had Principle.

Representative Glueklich has pre-.
pared for introduction in the legislature
. bill amending the general tax law OF
the state which aims at placing family
pictures and musical instruments in the
list of taxable personal property. This
is a reform in the wrong direction.
Universal experience shows conclusive.
ly the great difficulty of discovering
and assessing personal property of this
SORT Every year, in the city of Detroit,
the amount of personal property as
sessed decreases relatively to the amount
of the total assessment. The same ten
dency is noted in every large city. Tax
reformers, as a rule, recommend tho
total exemption of personal property
from taxation on account of the ex-
treme difficulty of finding and assessing
it In this state personal property,
outside of certain forms, such as bank
stock and vessel property, has been
lightly assessed. If the household'goods
of every taxpayer in the state were ex-
empted, it would make little differ
encc with the total of taxable property.
The principle of taxing forms Of
wealth, and every possible form is erro-
neous and essentially bad Taxes are
contributions drawn from the current
incomes of the people, and should be
so laid as to abstract from those in
comes proportion commensurate with
the wealth of the individual and the
actual or potential productivity of his
property. Taxation of household goods
does not satisfy this principle nor tho
rule of expediency, under which it is
useless to tax forms of wealth which
can not be got at and. whose value can
not be accurately ascertained. If the
tax law of Michigan is tinkered this
year it ought to be revised in accord
with modern experience in methods Of
taxation.-Detroit Tribune.

A College Professors Views.

Mr.. BOLTON HALL, New York-Dear
Sir:-Although am teacher of econ
omics and hope that am help to the
young men who attend my classes; yet
on the subject of taxation, am COM
PEELED to tell them that have never
seen the bottom principle of it, aud that
the most that can do is to give o par
tial exposition.
/ admire Henry George as a writer
and thinker above any living author on
economics that know: l am in hearty
sympathy with the toiling masses, and
try to find how their burdens can be
lightened and the strong be made to
bear them. If could see that single
object of taxation was the most just,
then the question with mo would be.
shall it be land or income?
As / understand 1t, / approve the
platform of the New York Tax Reform
association. Sincerely Yours

Double Taxation is Unjust.

The taxation of personal property
represented by shares in foreign cor.
porations is an injustice which will
some day appeal so strongly to the
minds of the people that it will be done
away with. 1t is obviously unfair that
any species of property should be taxed
twice. The spirit of our institutions is
theoretically opposed to every form Of
double taxation, yet 1t is only within
very few years that the double taxation
of mortgaged property was abolished.
Shares in foreign corporations, al-
though they may and do constitute .
very material part Of the wealth Of the
community. are really only the shadow
OF the actual property existing and
taxed elsewhere. To tax this shadow
is not only unjust, but impolitic. Tho
town, the city, the state, derives .
direct and substantial benefit from the
residence within tot each wealthy
citizen. If his wealth is in certificates
of stock in enterprises in other states,
the expenditure of the income of these
investments conduces to the pros
perity of the neighborhood of his resi-
depce and increases the demand for and
consequent value of the real property
there.
This income 10 diminished by tho
taxes which the real property repre-
sented by the shares pays wherever II
exista To tax this income would per-
haps be fair. although extremely diff
cult, but to tax the shares themselves
at the average rate of taxation in Mas
sachusetts is equivalent to confiscation
Of one-third of the average income. and
is so manifestly unjust that no man of
spirit will submit
An attempt will be made during this
session of the legislature to SO modify
the law that property taxed elsewhere
will be exempt from taxation in Mas
sachusetts. Transcript, Boston, Mass

head. Gradually he raised it and
looked round Everything was still,
deathly still. 1t was dark, but lie could
see the farmhouse clearly. Then he
suddenly thought that he alone had
survived the general destruction-he
and the farmhouse. A terror crept
over him that he would have to end his
days alone and in darkness.
"Wish / had died with 'em!" he
groaned aloud.
But he looked round and saw his
wifc's had risen, and suddenly her
terrified face looked at him. The next
moment he saw in her eye a glance of
recognition. So they were both alive!
'.Milly! Millyw called the old man
timidly.
Eyes, father?' came a trembling re-
ply.
Are We living?" he asked again.
81 am, father. Is John alive?"
"Ycs, Mi!ly." came the emphatic re-
ply from John, who sat up on tho
ground.
They were all sitting up now.
1.-THE farmhouse is there, too" said
Mrs. Patterson in a wondering voice,
land hear the short-horn lowing in
the yard"
Guess we'd better get up" re-
marked the old man, rising and as
sisting his wife.
Inside the house, when they got a
light, they all burst out laughing. they
felt SO foolish; and the more they
laughed the more foolish they felt
Lilly laughed until the tears strcamcd
down her checks, and John, in trying
to restrain her. felt his sides fairly
ache. The old couple rocked them
selves in their chairs with laughter.
and amid those peals the old man would
gasp out: ''And thought rs the only
one alive-ho-ho-ho!"
They found the silver where they
buried it. The old man discovered
everything he had sequestercd but a
bundle and a couple of gold rings: an
old brooch. twenty-six dollars in money
and the schoolmaster's own note for
fifty dollars we're missing. So was the
schoolmaster himself. On the follow
ing day John came in and announced
that the schoolmaster had skipped.
'Hung on to the tail of the comet, they
say!'
