Ex-senator Edmunds will be one OF
the counsel in the suit to test the con-
stitutionality of the income tax. With
Joseph H. Choate, Clarence A. Seward,
and Mr.. Edmunds to present the case
against constitutionality nothing is
likely to be left unsaid on that side that
is worth saying. The tax. however, en-
joys the prestige of once having been
decidedly the court to be constitutional,
and previous decisions always have great
weight with judicial bodies which natur-
ally desire that their record shall be
consistent.

Queen Victorias Dolls. By frances H.
Low. Published with the gracious per-
mission and approval of Her Majesty the
Queen. Queen Victoria, the author says,
was very much devoted to dolls, and
played with them until she was nearly
fourteen years old. She usually dressed
the dolls, from some costume she saw in
the theatre or in. private life. There is
evidence in the care and attention law
ished upon the dolls.ot the immense i'm.
portance with which they were regarded
by her royal little mistress, and an adj
ditional proof of this is to be found in
the records kept of her dolls in an old
copy book, now yellow with age. OF
the one hundred and thirty-tbree dolls
preserved, the Queen dressed thirty-two.
and they deserved to be handed down to
poaterity, says the author, as an example
of the patience and ingenuity and ex
quisite haudiwork of twelve ear-oId
princess. The dolls dressed by the
Queen are nearly all theatrical nerson-

The Highway of Sorrow. novel, by
Hesba Stretton and
will interest all who care for the perse-
cutions and sufferings of the Russian
peasantry. The author has produced
this WORK in collaboration with a Rus
sian author now an exile in England.
She bases her story of the Strendist sect
upon a recent publication concerning
them from the Christian World proprie-
tors. Hesba Stretton is always an ac-
complished and interesting writer. In
the present case, the fact that this ro-
nance, founded on real life, must of
necessity be narrowing and full of pain,
should not deter lovers of liberty and
justice from reading it that they may
sympathize with the oppressed and be
ready to aid and to hasten the time by
ever SO slight an influence when the
atrocities of Russian barbarism cannot
longer exist. New York: Dodd, Mead

sees before him a faithful picture of
New York life, with it's luxury and ease,
it's poverty and want, its frivolous idlers
and earnest workers. With the glitter
and show Of Fifth Avenue and the
squaIor and want of the East side as a

his frivolous life; Father Damon and
Ruth Leigh. the big heart helpers of
the souls and bodies Of the poor Jack
Defiance and his noble wife and host of
other less important persons. The read
er watches with interest and anxiety the
various phases through which Jack
Delaney passes, ana is glad when at the
end, though with fortune lost and youth
past, he is saved from ruin and brought
into the busy working world by the tact
and patient devotion of the royal woman

Mr. Williams, Pesident of the Chemical
National Bank of New York, appeared

that conservative AID well managed in

Smart CoDjuring.

A corporal and two privates, hav;n ,
in their custody dese.ter, were resting
themselves ct a country tavern not long
ago.
The deserter amused his guardians
with several entertaining sleight-of hand
tricks, but being encountered with hand
cuffs, complained that he could not dis.
play his skill to advantage, and re-
quested to having his hands at liberty,
whilst he exhibited a trick which he de-
scribed.
This being agreed to, he proceeded to
tie the hands of the three soldiers aud
his own together with handkerchief,
and he was to loose the four with one
motion simultaneously.
The magic knots were tied, but they
all remained firm except the one whicl
held the deserter. This came asunder
with touch, when he lifted up the sash
and darted through the window, leaving
his keepers raging at each other like
iil-coupled hounds. The deserter has
not been seen since.-Yankee Blade.

A Machine for Checking MoneYs.

A useful machine has been construct
ed for recording and checking moneys
received. The device consists OF stamp
which bears on its base an impression
plate holding the words received, name
and date. Figures are placed on three
wheels, on the shafts of which are sec.
ord series of wheels. so arranged that
any combination of figures shown out
side the stamp are also shown inside.
and the same figures are thus printed on
the record paper in the top of the stamp
Hs arc>imprinted on the invoice paper un-
derneath. Each time the stamp Is used
the recoil of the handle carries forward
the recorl paper so as to present fresh
surface for the next printing, and by
simple arrangement inside the stamp no
receipt can be given without the record
paper beng moved. 1t is therefore i'm.
possible to give receipt without record
ing the transaction inside the apparatus.
The stamp can be adjusted and receipt
given in one-ttird the time occupied iu
writing a receipt, with the further ad-
vantage that the apparatus cannot make
nistakes.-ChIcago News Pecord.

Crematiny Garbage.

The consumption Of garbage b,
cremation has been begun in quite a
number of places in this country, and th.
one which IS an object lesson to our
,ther cities in Massachusetts and New
England is the double-ire system now in
use in Lowell aud in other parts of the
country. The crematory is a brick
structure, forty feet long, ten feet wide
and twelve feet high, with stack
,eyenty-five feet in height. The top of
the furnace is reached by platform, and
the garbage is collected in car,s AMI
dumped down the slopes into the feed
noles in the top of the furnace. Afte-
the furnace has been charged two fires
are lighted. The flames pass from tue
first fire to the garbage piled on the
crates and the gases and smoke at,eai-
lag the combustion then pass To tie
second fire, where :hey are consu ned.
All the products of the burning Of the
garbage must pass through one Of these
fires. We have not room for de;agIu
how this system is managed, but tue re-
suits are such that it works successfully
wherever it has been tried, and its aioo.

4 Remarkable Confederacy of SaYages.

Tue Iroquois, as they were named by
he French, or the Five Nations, as they
:aled themselves, hung like cloud over
no whole great continent. Their con-
ederation was q natural one, for they
we're of the same stock and spoke the
Gme language, aud all attempts TO sepa-
ate them had been in vain. Mohawks,
Sayugas, Onondagas, Oneidas, and Sene-
,as were proud of their own totens and
heir own chiefs, but in war they were
roquis, and the enemy of one was the
nemy of all. Their numbers were small,
or they were never able to put two
housaud warriors in the field, aud their
country was limited, for their villages
we're scattered over the track which lies
between Lake Champluin and Lake Oa-
ario. But they were united, they were
:Tnning, they were desperately brave,
md they were fiercely aggressive and en-
rgetic. Holding a central position,
ihey struck out upon each side in turn,
never content with simply defeating an
adversary, but absolutely anuihilating
md destroying him, while holding all
he others in check by their diplomacy.
Var was their business, and cruelty their
amusement. One by one they had turned
heir arms against the various Nations,
Intil for space OF over a thousand
quare miles none existed save by suffer-
nce. They had swept away Hurous and
huron missions in one fearful massacre.
They had destroyed the tribes of the
northwest, until even the distant Sacs

sioux, who were lords of the great plains,
Iven as they were of the great forests.
Tho New England Indians in the east,
nd the Shawnees and Delawares further
outh, paid tribute to them, and the ter

,orders Of Maryland and Virginia. Never +

mall body of men dominated SO large :
district and for so long a time.
For half a century these tribes had
lursed grudge towards the French, :,
ince Champiain and some OF his follow
rs had taken part with their enemies
!gsinst them. During all these years
hey had brooded in their forest villages,
iashing out now and again in some bor-
Ter outrage, but waiting for the most
oart until their chance should come.
Aud now it seemed to them that it had
come. They had destroyed all the tribes
who might have allied themselves with
:he white men. They had isolated them.
They had supplied themselves with good
guns and plenty of ammunition from the
Dutch aud English of New York. Tue
ong thin line of French settlements lay

is moved to where the balls OF ire
