Socialism's Chief Weapon.

| OOCIdlISm SnleT weapon.
Mr.. Peffsr's amsndment proposing
that the limit of exemption in the pur =
posed income tax be lowered from
a, 900 to 81, 600 per aunum is foretaste
Of what may be expected to happen
should this vicious principle of revenue
collection ever gain permanent hold
upon American legislation. In its in.
ctption and design the income tax is
essentially socialistic. 1t is the blow
struck by the men who fail, through
their own fault, at the men who sue
coed. 1t is the economic exponent of
impgovidence's envy OF thrift; the SYM
hol Of shiftlesSness' covetousness Of
success. Society would nsed to be
wholly reVolutionizad before this prin-
ciple could be carried to its logical
tconclusions. The man who struggles
and saves would have to be outlawed, g,
disrespscted, ostraCizsd: society would
have to shower its choicest honors upon
the hummer and the tramp.
1t is to the lasting credit of Senator
Hill that the first firm and resonant
note OF resistance to this un.American
theory should come. among Demo-
Gratis, from one who, In public opinion,
is least associated with honest cham
pionship of principle. There is no
escape from the clear-cut logic of his
objections. The arguments against
the income tax are mSrciess in their
unassailable truth. The nominal
boundary ut which thrift ceases to be
virtue is fixed in the original bill OF
incomes of 81, 900 year. Already
under the stimulus Of the Populistic
terment, senator of the United States
gravely proposes that this boundary
be leyslod down to $1,000; and it will
falsify all past experience if the unholy
desire OF deliberate poverty to make
irugality pay for its "board and keep"
shall not yet proceed evon further
along the scale of legislative injustice
and legaliz9d robbery.
1t is unfortunate that the greed of
great syndicates, playing deftly on the
avarlce of corrupt public servants,
should culminste in scand .ls that lead
the mass Of Popuiists to put unjust es-
Inmates upon honestly acquired wealth
in this land. The position of the voter
who. because gross corruption exists in
politics, decides that all wealth Is
wrong and that all wealthy mon are
criminals and knaves, worthy of legal
lied pillags, is illogical but natural.
We can forgive this fallacy much more
readily than we can the deliberate
demagogism OF men like Cleveland,
Carlisle and PETER, who, conscious of
the intrinsic viclousness of the income
tax, are nevertheless willing to enact it
because among the ignorant it is mo-
mentarily popular.

When Shakespeare wrote that "the
apparel oft proclaims the man." he
voiced q sentiment that is as old as the
world itself. For ever since Eve made
her first gown, with the aid OF re"
leaves and great deal OF ingenuity,
dress has occupied conspicuous place
ia the minds and manners OF nations.
The costumes Of various people show
not only gradual development from
the barbarism of the past TO the civil
cation of the present, but also that OF
a diverse standard OF beauty prevails In
different lands. The Partisan belle
finds nothing so pretty as small waist
and cinging gown, che Hottentot

occasion.

reputation of being an "animal that de-
lights in fnery," but research will show
that man has, until the last century,
exhibited himself in costumes as varied
and gaudy as those Of his better half.

tripping on his heels followed the gal

Ascend Hand Marriage.

A curious incident is related as taking
place in we'll known church recently.
A wedding was being solemnized, the
contracting parties being d lady and
gentleman who move in the fashionable
circles of society, while in the corner Of
the church stood q youthful couple, a
mulatto boy aud girl. The pair watch
ed the ceremony intently, and copied
each movement made by the bride and
bridegroom whom the priest was max
ing man and wife. AS they knelt down
so did the other couple kneel, and when
the bridegroom placed the ring on the
brides finger, the young mulatto did
likewise, only his ring was Of metal and
the bride was less fair. At length,
when the procession emerged from the
church, the humble couple followed,
looking as il they were quite as much
married as their more fortunate breth-
rem. 1t transpired that such was, in
deed, their belief. They had no money
wherewth to pay the priest or the fees,
so they thought marriage at second
hand would be just as etfectual and cost
nothing. -Phitddelphid Times.

Stir the yolks Of six aud the whites OF
four eggs into a pound Of graduated
sugar. Add the juice OF three lemoas

ANCHovY AND ToAsT.-A dish OF
anchovy and toast is very easily pre-
pared and is very plataele for supper,
providing there is anchovy butter In
the house, little dainty which may be
easily prepared and kept on hand. To
make the butter mix table spoonful
OF fresh butter with tablespoonful OF
anchovy essence. Cut six slices Of good
home made bread, toast them delicate
brown and lay two snchovies, cut in
haif, on each slice after buttering the
toast with anchovy butter. Place the
toast in the oven in order that the but
ter may melt, for about two minutes.
Serve the toast on the daintiest little
porcelain dish you have, with toidad

pretty cut in triangular pieces, dlagon-
ally across from cOrnOr to corner.

QUOTES buy sliced fish, fry at breakfast
time and then put in the refrigerator
until near the hour OF dinner. 1t
is not sale TO eat fish now that is kept
raw until late in the day unless packed
in ice. To make the croquettes:-To
every cup Of cold cooked fish allow one
large tablespoonful OF butter, ons-half
OF acup Of cream or milk, one table
spoonful Of chopped parsley and toe
yoke OF one egg. Season the fish with
one-half OF teaspoonful of salt, very

cover with egg and bread crumbs and
fry in smoking hot fat.

OF tomatoes over the fire with a bay
leaf, stalk OF celery, a sprig OF parsley
and a slice OF onion, Let simmer for
fifteen minutes, then press through a
sieve and return to the kettle IN
til wanted. Scald one pint OF milk,
rub together one tablespoonful Of but

thickens. When ready to serve add
one tablespoonful Of soda to the toma-
toes. Mix in the soup tureen, season
with two teaspoonfuls OF salt, one-halt

soup without curdling comes from the
usual way of mixing and allowing 10
