Discrimination with Ine,me Tax in Eng
lauI

In the general election OF 1874, Mr.. Glad
stone, in an address 70 the country, especially
asked that confidence aud 5c-tlnued admins
traton OF the government be Gs-.n him on
the ground that he contemplated an early rs-
peal OF the income tax. From the outset tho
income tar has been more otiuus and uuppp-
uar IN Great Britain than any other form OF
taxation.
Among statesmen and econoni>ts there IL
hardly any dissent from the opinion that The
tax Is bad in principle, because unequal and
unjust In its assessment. and incapable of be-
Ing made equal aud just aud tbis, too al
though the administration OF the revenue
laws Of Great Britain owing TO the compara-
lively small area OF territory Subjected to su-
pcryision, and the fact that the tenure cf OF
fce on the part Of the officials is dependent
solely ct honesty and ihtclllgeucc-ts won
dcrfully efficient t,,rrh more so than can be
expected under existing conditions IN the
United States. The annual report ~ The
British Commissioners OF Inland Revenue a.
ways mentions extensive cvnsions of the in
come tax, Mr.. Gladstone. speaking in 1888,
said II believe It ian income tax does more
than any other tax to dcmoralize and corrupt
the people, And Mr Disraell, In Plrlia-
ment expressed his agreement with Mr.
Gladstone by saying 1.-The odlOus features OF
this tax cannot By any means be removed or
modified "-hdna A. Fc!is, Z" March Forum.

Of the scourge, 1t is conceded By
th.,o, best able to judge that incarcer-
alton in prisons Is OF no benefit what
ever in the case Of women drunkards.
Sir Andrew Clark's proposition for
the compulsory seclusion and cure Of
drunkards in retreats under state
control hnds many supporters.
He said he would run the
act OF compulsion as close as
tho feelings of the English peo-
pie for the freedom OF the person
would allow, and would especially
enforce it in the earliest stages OF
the vice in the case OF women. He
said. and he spoke from q great ex-
perience. especially In private deal
ings with drunkards. that the drink
ing habit WAS difficult to cure In men,
but it was all but impossible in wo-
men. When taken in hand early
cures were obtained in both sexes,
but, in his experience, even then the
proportion of cures OF women was
painfully small.

justed precisely as the man adjusts his
stock, passing it around the throat
from the front to the back and cross
ing it there to bring it back and tie it
in front in a short bow with long ends
hanging down to the waist The
original idea of the quaint conceit was
to wear it inside the coat and display
it only when the coat was thrown
back, but it is frequently outside the
coat and very much worn with the
little fur waists that this winter ac-
company cloth skirts for outdoor wear.
There is another cravat, slightly newer
and more peculiar than this, made of
black satin ribbon six inches wide,
tied in smart bow with fiaring loops
and tight little knot under the chin
with little fall of white lace over the
knot. This scarf has no lace on the
ends, and while it is quite as becoming
to the face on account OF the luce it is
rather less graceful than the other.
Its name, French and high sounding,
is cravate Lendre.

German Process. of Drying Wood.

Alderman process for drying wood
has been tried with some success by
a firm Of Canadian lumbermen. 1t
consists briefly in placing the timber
for twelve days in chambers heated
by steam and then in another room
to dry. Tho plan. it is said, entirely
gets rid Of sap. and has been found
more eiiicacious with juicy wood like
beech and birch. 1t is certainly the
case that timber prepared by this
means is largely used in Germany.
and particularly in Bavaria. At tho
same time it is stated that this ar
tificial seasoning is not nearly SO ef-
ticacious as that produced by natur-
al means. Woods thus forced into
maturity are apt later on both to
warp and to rot. The constructors
OF the German navy have altogether
declined TO use wood SO prepared,
though it has been found useful for
fencing and other kinds OF cheap car
pentry. Courier.

Fermentatiye pxspepsla.

In nearly every case of functional
dyspepsia that has come under my OBJ
servation within the last ten months 1
have begun the treatment by giving
five grains of bismuth subgallate,
either before or after each meal. In
some cases it seems to act more favora-
bly, when given before meals, and in
others its action is better II taken after
eating. In studying my records and
memoranda of cases. l find that the
treatment by salicin has often been
unsatisfactory. The proportion Of un-
successful cases was about % per cent,
but in some cases the effects of this
remedy given alone have been remark
able. 1 have full records of one case
of severe dyspepsia of ten years stand
ing that WAS completely relieved in
week without any return, now for
more than a year. The bismuth SUBJ
gallate, however, is almost specific
in cases of purely functional dyspepsia
with hatulence-Dr. Austin Flint, N.

Mis-. Anthony. Suffrage Campaign.

Jean b. Greenleaf writes from Roch-
ester that already the women are rally
ing their forces and the campaign may
be said to be fairly opened. Miss An
thony has spoken at two grand rallies,
one in Rochester and one in Buffalo.
On Tuesday of last week Miss Anthony
spoke in Syracuse, and a fund was con-
tributed for campaign work. This in
defatigable worker has gone on to
Michigan to speak before the students
1T Ann Arbor, stopping at Buffalo to
organize county suffrage club. Mon
roe county has a campaign committee
organized in each town, and Rochester
has one in each ward but four, and
the work of canvassing is being brislsly
pushed. Work is well under way in
New York and Brooklyn, and Mrs.
Blake, the president of the suffrage
club in New York, can not
leave the city for outside work
on account of the work there.
Money comes in slowly, but it
comes, and good collections are taken
in at the rallies The women say they
are working to win and mean to carry
the day.
