TAX ON CATS.
Austria Proposes a Novel Scheme
fer RaiFing Additional Revenue.

Austria Proposes a Novel Scheme
fer Rairing Additional Revenue.
Austria is one of the few European
countries that manage to pull through
without deficit. The yearly estimates
invariably show an excess of income
over expenditure, and the estimates are
always confirmed by the recorded re-
suits. The balance, 1t is true, is very
little, but 1t is at least on the right side,
and that, in these hard times, is every
thing. The means by which this finan-
cial equilibrium is attained are prosaic
enough-the strictest economy in ex-
penditure and the utmost ingenuity in
taxation. Everything is taxed except
the air, and even that has to be paid
for in places famous for their salubrity.
Dogs, cycles, newspapers, advertise
ments and innumerable other articles
pleasures and necessities-are included
in the money-produeing list; nothing
indeed seemed excluded until very
short time ago, when provincial finan-
cier forwarded an exhaustive report to
the finance ministry on neglected
source of reyeune-cats.
The horse, the ass, the goat, the hog,
the chicken, the dog, the goose-all con-
tribute their mites to the support OF the
state, said this financial reformer The
cat alone is q parasite, paying nothing
to any one and preying upon every one.
Now, why should Christian state per-
petuate this relic of Egyptian dolatry
There is no Ineligible reason for it.
The cat is one Of those miserable ami
mails that caused some of the early
Christians to swerve from the true
faith and to believe in a principle of
evil as well as a Greater of good, and
is thus answerable in part for the for
nation Of the Manicheaean sect. Has
cat ever been known to perform a
good action? Certainly not Its living
and working are easily summed up in
list of egotistic deeds, many of which
border upon crime. 1t springs at you
treacherously and scratches your face
in the most wantOn way. 1t is a born
thief and loves cream, milk and daint-
les Of most kinds. 1t is a professional
destroyer of nests, massacreS useful
birds, thus injuring the farmer, causes
fires in houses and rend ers night hid
eous with its miaws. And this is the
holy, inviolable, taxfree idol of the
modern state! The unfortunate dog,
mans real friend in need, is treated in
a very different fashion. Put into q
sort of straight waistcoat termed q
muzzle, it is chained up in a yard, har-
messed to milk carts, compelled to hunt,
to do duty in war, to rescue. the drown
ing, to dig up the traveller buried in
snow, and in spite of all, the dog is
heavily taxed! This is not merely i'm

1t Was Blue In Front and Yellow Be-

One Of the most peculiar specimens of
the finny tribe that has ever been hook
ed in this section of the country was
brought yesterday evening by Messrs.
William Markell, of 70 Dufossat street,
and Mr.. r. Gogrieve, of 200 Broadway.
They caught this curiosity at the Rigo-
lets, and every fisherman who saw it
was puzzled at it. None like it has ever
been seen here before, it is claimed, but
one old soldier. says that he saw one
in a distant sea nineteen years ago,
and that it was called the hogish.
The head of the fish strongly resem-
bles a hog, and the flesh looks like
pork. There are three tail fms, but
they are unlike those of the ordinary
fish. The front part Of the curiosity
is deep blue in color and the rear is a
bright yellow. These colors are so

SAHARA.
One Fifth of the Whole African
Continent Is Desert.

One Fifth of the Whole African
Continent Is Desert.
The desert area Of Africa is estimated
by Mr. Ravenstein at over 2,25O,O0O
square miles, of which all but a small
fraction is contained in the tract of
land popularity known as the Sahara.
Except for some school children who
know better, and school teachers who
are instrumental in their being so,
the misconcepiion Of the Sahara, which
is widespread, would be practically uni
versal. The average man pictures the
Sahara as vast sea of sand. for the
most part below sea level, across which
the camel speeds before the pois on
Dlast OF the simeon from oasis to oasis.
Schemes for flooding the Sahara have
come before the public, occasionally.
and we have read accounts of the vast
inland sea which might be formed, RI
valing the Mediterranean in size, Civ
Ing southern sea coast to Morocco
and Algeria, and admitting steamers di-
rectly to the wealthy states Of the Sou
dan.
The Sahara as known to the geog-
rapher corresponds badly with this
conception; for, in fact, there is no risk
of the ship of the DESERT ever being
supplanted by the ships of the sea.
Few parts are below sea level, and they
are small and scattered In the inter-
ior the desert is plain high above sea
level, covered with vast dunes of red
sand in many parts; in others it is an
elevated plateau with lofty mountain
ranges of bare rocks intersected by
stony valleys. 1t is arid, save where a
spring bubbles up and gives rise to a
small oasis of grass and palm trees.
The Sahara proper is unknown, except
for few trade routes regularly tray-
ersed by Arabs, and occasionally by
adventurous Europeans. These utilize
the oasis as resting places, stepping
stones, as it were, and keep up commu-
nication between the wealthy Moham-
medan states round Lake Chad in the
south, and Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers or
Morocco on the Mediterranean. Be
tween the trade routes all is a blank
of sand or barren rock.
Exploration is only possible when
water as well as food can be carried,
and this condition has practically stop
ped all attempts at discovery for the
present on account Of the great ex-
pense and the purely scientific nature
of the possible return. A railway run
ming from the French possessions on
the Mediterranean across the desert
to Timbuktu, the scarcely known trade
center near the Niger, is talked of.
Such line may be constructed in the
future, but the difficulties are enor-
nous, much greater than those over
come by the Russians in the Trans
Caspian line through the deserts of
Central Asia.-McClure's Magazine.

Congress EARLY Returned Thanks
For Victory and Peace.
For more than eighty years the APP
pointment Of Thanksgiving was more
or less erratic. AS regularly institut-
ed State festival. it was plant of slow
growth, not taking firm root until after
the close of the seventeenth century;
but whenever or wherever the miscel-
laneous appointments were made, the
day generally came in the ripe autumn,
when the rich gifts of bountaous ma
ture Were gathered in and storahouses
were overfowing with ripened grain,
and fruits laid up for winter use
Both governors and pastors agreed
in their respective states in proclalming
a day Of festivity and praise. but not
seldom the appointments fell upon diff
ferent dates in different states, which
was matter of small comparative mo
ment at that time, when steam had not
bridged space with its rapid transit,
and families who were separated by
long distances could not flock to the old
homesteads as they learned to do later.
In the autumn of 1889 resolution
was offered In the house by Boudinot,
requesting the president to appoint a
day of Thanksgiving to be kept in all
the states, In recognition of the many
signal favors Of Almighty God and es-
pecially for the opportunity afforded
the nation to establish constitutional
government" Sherman supported the
motion, but Burke and others opposed
1t as mimicry Of European customs,

have told them in what direction home
lay. He arose. On all sides was prai-

tree to break the monotony Of the dull
landscape. No one who has Deyer ex-
perienced such a situation can realize
the feeling of desolation that sweeps
over one at such hours. 1t is crushing

Carefully scanning the horizon, Jim at
last thought he saw a thin streak Of
smoke lazily drifting just above the
horizon like a long purple ribbon far
off to the southwest.
The wind had suddenly ceased, and
dusk was fast approaching. Farmer
HusEins had hauled three ricks full of
straw against the stable where he kept
his stock. Really it seemed more coy
inside that place than it did inside the
house. Kansas stables in til ose days
were not elaborate, artistic affairs. A
framework of cottonwood poles for a
roof, strung up OH forked posts, corn
stalks for straw support, and that was
all. At harvest time the wheat and
rye were stacked conveniently near,

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
travelling Through Space at the
Rate of 200 Miles a Second.

Rate of 200 Miles n Second.
The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars is found in
the motion of q star known as 1880
Groombridge, or the runaway STAR" as
it is sometimes called, which is be-
heved to be rushing through space at
the rate of 200 miles per second. This
star appears to be moving in a perfectly
straight line through the sky, and it
may be visiting our star system for the
first time, but whence it comes or
whittier it is going no one can tell, and
it is great enigma to astronomers.
Its wonderful velocity can not be eX-
planned, as it is far greater than could
be produced by the influence of all
known orbs in the universe, and, on the
other hand, the combined attraction of
all the other stars cannot stop this
wanderer in its solitary fight through
space, until it has rushed on to the re-
moter distances, beyond which the larg-
est telescopes have never penetrated.
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that body approaching the
center Of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with a greater
velocity than twenty-five miles a sec
ond, if Influenced by the attraction Of
the masses in our universe alone, but
here we have been considering a star
moving with eight times that velocity,
and still, Notwithstanding the fact that
it has the greatest motion known
among the stars, it would require 1885,
900 years for this remarkable star to
complete an entire circuit around the
heavens.
