The Next House.

There are in the present House of Rep
resentatiyes 2lS Democrats, III Republi-
cans, II Populists. A majority of the
whole, however is 10. TO control the
next House, therefore it is evident that
the Republicans must gain 81 votes. A
loss of the Democrats of 40 will take the
control from them, but unless Republic
cans gained these forty and twelve more
the Popuists would hold the balance of
power. These 81 seats which the Re-
publicans must gain must all, probably,
be got in the North, though it may be
that the revolt of the sugar planters will
give them a chance to get one or two
congressman in Louisiana, and there is Il
possible chance of success in West Viz
ginia when some Of the districts are very
close. The odds, however, are against
any gains in the South, and the proba-
bility is that if the Republicans control
the next House they will do it by reason
of gains entirely in the North. As the
Democrats are practically sure of l20
members from the South, all they need
elect in the North to give them control
is 80 members, while as there is slight
prospect of the Republicans getting any
southern members they must, to control
the Honse elect 10 members in tile
North-that is to say all but 81 districts
in the North must be carried by the Re-
publicans. The capture of the next
House by the Republicans is not an easy
thing. and can only be accomplished by
hard and persistent work. The indica-
tions now are, however, that difficult as
it is it will be accomplished.

The Shaw-Dirigo Business Col
lege.

The interest of the late X. B. Capen in
the Dirigo Business college, Augusta,
has been purchased by F. l.. Shaw of the
Shaw Business college, Portland, and
was opened Monday, Sept. Il, to be run
in connection with the latter school.
The standing of the Shaw Business
college is too well known to call for any
indorsment from Us. The record of 43S
students during the past year speaks for
itself
Prof Shaw informs us that he will at
once introduce in the Dirigo all the fea-
lures which have rendered the Shaw
Business college so successful and at the
same time add many others to both.
This is rendered possible by reason of
the fact that daily business will be car
ried on between the schools, identical
with that of any two large business
firms.
Walter F. Foss, who has been an in
structor in the Shaw Business College
for the past three years, will manage the
Augusta end of the business. Under
the management of Mr.. Fass and the
supervision of Prof. Shaw we bespeak
for the Dirigo Business College many
years of success. Communications may
be addressed to Prof. Shaw, either al
Portland or Augusta.

The income tax is law. Its features
may be briefly stated. On personal in
comes it is a tax of per cent. on all
amounts over 81 900. The tax is to be
levied on and after January LIST, next,
and is to be payable before July LIST,
1895. 1t is to be assessed on the income
received in the preceding calendar year
that is, for the first levy, the calendar
year of 1894. If the tax is not paid on
or before July |. penalty of ) per cent.
on the amount to be paid, with interest
at per cent. per month, will be levied
in addition.
The law specifies great many things
that shall be included in making up the
annual income-gains, profits and in
come received by every citizen of the
United States, whether residing at home
or abroad, and every person residing
therein, derived from any kind of pro
perty, rents, interest, dividends or sal
aries. or from any profession, trade, en-
ployment or vocation carried on in the
United States or elsewhere, interests ON
bonds, notes and other secul tiles. and
personal property acquired by gift or
inheritance, or from any other source
whatever.
1t also specifies deductions that are
to be made-"necessary expenses in
carrying on business, worthless debts,
and dividends received from corporations
which themselves pay All income tax.
All persons having an income of more
than $500 year, must make return
to the collectors.
The corporation tax is likewise of !
per cent. on net profits or income. Ex-
emption is made of charitable and re-
ligious corporations, savings banks Gun
der certain limitations), building and
loan associations and fraternal and NUT
ual insurance associations.
The law is to remain in force five years
unless extended or repealed,

A College for Housewives.

There is a college for housewives at
Walthanstan, England, where young wo-
men may learn all the branches of do
nestle work, including cookery, needle
work, laundry work and household
superintendent. The name of the col
lege is appropriately st. Martha's. Only
ten pupils are received at a time in order
that each may serve her turn as a house
keeper, chambermaid, laundress, etc.
As the course of Instruction includes
every household function, from building
fires and cleaning lamps to giving din
ner-parties, the graduate is equally well
fitted for housemaid or house mis-
tress.-NeW York Adrertiser.
