Recently the Federal Government
was called upon to send troops to
Chicago and other places in order to
protect corporations that were threat
ened by lawless uprisings. The pro-
lection was given, but expense was
entailed in furnishing it. There is
an instance that proves the justice OF
an income tax. When large accumu-
htions of property have great inter
ests to be guarded it is but fair they
should pay something nearer a just
proportion in the way of taxes than
they do at present.

mer tends to biliousness and fevers,
and the free use of fruits counteracts
this tendency. This is because the
acids of the fruit help to facilitate the
separation of the bile from the blood,
a process slackened by the approach
Of hot weather. Fruits are cooling
is an expression often used, but why
this is SO very few understand. They
are SO because the acid Of the fruit
stimulates the liver to greater activity
in separating the bile from the blood,
which is its proper work, the result
Of which is the bowels become free,
the pores of the skin are open, and
under such conditions fever and want
Of appetite are impossible.

It is easy to sneer. Our mother
tongue abounds in sarcastic epithets.
But the disposition to make use OF
them is not the sign of a high char
acter. The sharp utterance that car
ries a needless wound to the soul of
a sensitive brother argues a certain
coarseness of moral fiber in your
nature. The noblest men and women
are those who have studious and
delicate regard for the feelings OF
others. st. Louis Christian Advocate.

"a contented mind is q continual
feast" But this does not apply only
to our professions. It means q mind
that is not easily unbalanced by tri-
fling accidents and becomes worried
by small disappointments or occur
rences which are apt to enrage some
persons. What we cannot help, and
what are due to our own faults should
not call for discomfort or aggravation
except with ourselves, but for more
care in the future. It is not work,
but worry, which kills the majority
of persons.

Congressman Terry's bill requiring
railroads and other corporations to
be liable under the laws OF the State
in which they operate, and bringing
them therefore under the Jurisdiction
ofthe State Courts, passed the House
recently, and will, it is hoped, receive
favorable consideration in the Senate.
One of the greatest difficulties in
compelling large corporations to obey
local laws has been the necessity OF
reaching them indirectly through the
Federal Courts. This bill is designed
to overcome all such difficulties and
its friends are hopeful of its final
enactment.

which had settled over the young man,
and brought them together.
