Beginnings of the Income Tax.

In 1877 "tax unheard of before" was
imposed by parliament, which took the
form of poll tax, graduated chiefly ac-
cording torank, though partly according
to property. Dukes had to pay co lbs.
4d.; earls, "a; barons, 60; knights, Ell
squires, Is. 3d., or, If they had no land,
3s. 4d. Beggars were exempt. Yet the
whole amount collected was under e25,-
600. The poll tax having failed, the
country reverted to the previous system
of granting fifteenths and tenths.
The first indication of an income tax
occurs in I435, when an act was passed
imposing tax on every person "seized
of manors, lands, tenements, rents, an
nuities, offices or any other possessions. y
But, although we have here the idea OF
income tax, yet this mode of raising a
revenue is generally considered to have
been introduced by Pitt in 1900. The
rate was 10 per cent, and it produced
about 96,00O,0 900. After the peace of
Amiens, Addington repealed it on the
ground that it ought to be exclusively
reserved for times of war, but reimposed
1t, for the same reason, when the war
broke out again in the following year.
1t was very unpopular and was repealed
In 1906, as soon as possible after the
close of the great war.
The tax was reimposed by Peel in 1s42
for four years, his object being ito re-
lieve trade and commerce from the tram
mels by which they were bound" by re-
pealing other taxes in his opinion more
injurious. We were, however, over and
over again promised that it should be
only temporary, and it is still only i'm
posed from year to year.--Sir John Lub-
book in North American Review.

Punice Stone.

Pumice stone is porous feldspathic
scoria from volcanoes. The pores are
linear and so fine as often to be barely
visible except by means of magnifying
glass. Its specific gravity is 9.2 to "a

of its spongy texture pieces are often
buoyant enough to float on water. 1t
consists chiefly of silica, with some

of soda and per cent of potash. 1t is
of grayish shades of color, passing into
yellow and brown. The chief source
from which it is obtained for CONNER

leadership the ancient Germans owed
the preservation Of their nationality,

Know when They Arc Hungry.

Pigeons must have the credit of pos
sessing some intelligence. A curious
and very interesting sight may be seen
each day, Sundays excepted, at one OF
the windows of the Office of Henry W.
Williams, III the Rialto building, oppo-
site the postoffice. For the past few
years some 80 or 40 pigeons have been
there regularly fed at IL o'clock. A
bushel of cracked grain is purchased at
a time for the purpose. The birds gath
er on the west side of the postoffice and
watch for the window to open. They
know perfectly well when that hour ar
rives. IL there should chance to be
any delay in opening the window, they
will often fly over to the other windows
Of the same Office and tap on the glass
to remind the clerks who may be sitting
there that it is time for their breakfast.
The minute the window opens they land
on and about the sill and push and
crowd and stand ON each others backs
and sometimes fight, 80 eager are they
to pick up the grain which is spread all
about the outside. They soon become
quite tame and readily eat out of the
hand. Boston Transcript.
