Soothing Night Thoughts.

The bon ton ladies Of England have a
habit of preparing the mind for sweet
sleep" that Is worthy of the imitation 1t
receives. No rational adult need be told
that going to bed with troubled thoughts
is almost certain to antagonize rest.
Mothers who are truly kind to their lit
tie folks will not permit the recital Of
horrible or exciting stories in the nurs-
cry. Bedtime stories should be vague,
caressing, fragile things. This theory
Is carried out in later life by gentle
people, who resd poem, one of the i'm
mortal songs of David, or some hymn to
nature, to compose the mind to rest 1t
may take less than five minutes, but 1t
Is a solace to the brain; 1t Gains the
nerves and invites dreamless sleep.

Household Hints,

Nothing will give such a polish to
glass, even the finest, as slightly moist
newspaper to give the finishing touches.
Tumblers or goblets in which milk has
been served should be rinsed with cold
water before being washed. otherwise
they will look cloudy; few drops of
ammonia in the hot water will give the
glass bright lustre.
Steel knives or other articles which
have become rusty should be rubbed
with a little sweet oil, then left for a
day or two in a dry place, and then
rubbed with finely powdered, unslacked
lime until every vestige Of the rust has
disappeared, and kept in a dry place
wrapped up In a bit Of flannel.

Where will the money to pay the income tax
eventually come from It seems to me that as
all incomes are derived from labor, which pro-
duces all wealth. the income tax will be ulti-
msteiy shifted on to labor. The landlords will
demand more rent. employers Of labor offer less
wages, manufacturers and distributors OF the
necessaries OF life will ask more profits, and 30
the income tax may be Transferred by the mill
ionairs onto the wage-carner. who will have no
means Of escaping, except by refusins to work.
and therefore getting evicted and starved. There
Is only one tax that will stop where It is placed
and that 10 a tax on the unimproved value Of all
land. That must be paid by the landlord and
cannot be shifted onto the tenant. and through
