MONEY GIVES SOCIAL TONE.

The Best Department Found Among Those
 Accustomed to Wealth.
 Long-inherited wealth, together with the power it brings, creates kind of social climate in which most of the qualities which give charm to social intercourse ripen in way that is not possible elsewhere and acquire more delicate favors, says an article in the North American Review.
 This is not indeed most true, but true most obviously with regard to charm of manner; for manner, though it's raw material is always personal tenn perament, is in it's finished state the result of social circumstances and bears something the same relation to them that its scent does to flower; and, though the greatest charm of manner is personal gift, like genius, and though persons who have enjoyed the same social advantages possess it no doubt in very different degrees, it is only in the best society that it's great est and finest charm is, as a rule, pos sible; and the manner of any average IldH UT WOLudu DIOuSnG up III SUCH society is, undoubtedly, with few ex- captions, more agreeable than it would have been had the person in question been brought up in other circum- stunces.
 This will, perhaps, be more readily understood when fact is mentioned which, though absolutely true, is the exact reverse of what many people imagine, and that is that manner in the best society is distinguished before all things by it's simplicity and absence of affectation-a simplicity which is mainly due to that command of life of which I have already spoken and the fact that the conventions which those in question obey are conventions which are made or sanctioned by them selves and themselves only. It is only in the best society that this complete simplicity is to be found combined with the highest polish.

Carried So Much Electricity That a Car
 Is Set on Fire.
 The efficacy of black cat as light ming rod has been too frequently the subject of discussion and assertion to be treated at length at the present time, the drift Of which is to show the apt manner in which an illustration of this popular belief can be deduced from an incident that occurred on the evening of the Fourth of July to the wife of well-known business man of Washington.
 On the evening in question the young matron had been expending consider able time and attention upon hand some black cat, which she continued to stroke. notwithstanding the assertion of her family that by so doing she was charging herself with electricity. Finally after dark the young matron decided that pleasant way of wind ing up the evening would be to go for ride on the electric car to Bethesda. Accordingly, inviting two of her friends to accompany her, she set out for the ride in high spirits.

will come under the provisions of the law, and it will be interesting, if any body can get at the facts, to know what sort of schedules shall be filed. The law makes the entire tax secret, and 1t is not likely that the department will permit anyone to gain access to the figures. It is singular fact that the government proposes to raise revenue without giving the public access to it's books, but such is the case. The law is claimed to be constitutional, but the people will always wonder how they have happened to confer authority upon the government to establish secret revenue system.
 While the constitutionality of the law is very generally admitted there is a determination among some moneyed men to contest the point, and it is said tudG SutlS Will Uc SIdl lSu WuOA tllc proper tune comes to determine whether or not the tax can be col lected.
 Singularly enough, this point was raised nearly 30 years ago by one of our present Democratic congressman, Will liam M. Springer, of Illinois. In 1865 he had an income of $50.79S and tax of $4799.S0 was levied on it. He resist ed payment, claiming the law was un- constitutional. His house was seized and sold to satisfy the claim, and in a resulting it was held by the United States supreme court that the tax was constitutional. This would seem to set. tie the question, and those who have incomes in excess of $4 900 may expec, to be obliged to pay the tax upon the eXcess

THE VAMPIRE BAT.

A Dread Creature That Is Common in
 India.
 have always dcspised bats, said a Cleveland man recently, and it always sends shudder over me whenever one of the hideous creatures approaches me. The bats of this country, how ever, are not to be dreaded in compar- ison to those of the vampire species which abound in India. Just imagine a big mouse with horn on his head like rhinocerOus, furnish him with a pair of demon-like wings, and you have a very good picture of this latter kind The natives dread the vampire bat on account of his bloodsucking propensi- ty. In the sultry nights he fans the heated sleeper with his wings while his needle-lil1e teeth are beng in serted into the veins of his victim, quenching his thirst for blood with such gentleness that it is only by some fortunate chance that he is discovered before the mischief is done. It is a well-authenticated fact that if an indi- vidual is once bled by q vampire he is invariably chosen, in preference to all others equally exposed for subseqent attack, and even if he were to move ten or twenty miles away, no inn munity is gained thereby, as the bat is sure to follow him and keep up his blccd-thirsty attack until his victim succumbs or the animal is discovered and killed. Cattle and horses, from being more exposed, are more frequent ly chosen as the subjects of attack by these loathsome creatures.

THE INCOME TAX,

It is interesting to know that those who are enjoying large incomes will soon be called upon to pay new tax. This is the income tax provided for in the new tariff bill. It applies to all incomes over $4,0OO, the excess being taxed at the rate of per cent. More over, it applies to incomes now being enjoyed, it being provided that retu rms shall be made of all incomes over $3, SOC beginning with the calendar year 1894. Those whose incomes are more than $500 but less than $4 ,0OQ will not have to pay taxes, but they will be obliged to make returns.

CHEAP LABOR.
excess.

In China wages are six cents day. Man is the cheapest thing that walks the earth excepting, perhaps, women. The Japanese boast of superior civili- zation, but even among them man is the chief beast of burden, and for few pen nies per day one can have himself trans ported in a two-wheeled vehicle over the narrow roads of the country with fellow-man serving the dou ble function of horse and lackey.
 Cheap labor is the inevita ble accom- paniment of slavery. From organism to Christian civilization IS an ascend ing scale of wages. Shall we, in this country of light, liberty and Christian homes, permit industry to be oriental lzed? If we permit it or palliate it in servile submission to an unchristian spirit of greed, then we assist in turning the hands on the dial of civilization backward, and deliberately put on pa- gan garments.
 Where labor is cheap life is cheap. Where the womanis is slave to the man, the man is slave to the ruling despot. Where the despot is rapicious, effeminate, sensual mogul, the god typi. fed in the pagan idol is set up in his own image. May the lesson of cheap men and cheap labor in the east not be lost. We propose to maintain intact Christian wages, Christian homes and Christian morals in America, and to protest in Christian spirit all attempts to orientalize them.

Itis supposed by some that this latter was used as mon cy in many parts of India four centu- ries ago. and specimens found to-day have an interest of numismatists.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE SCHOOLS.
 The America Library association has discovered that newspapers are better

The America Library association has discovered that newspapers are better educators than dead literature. The association advises the introduction of daily papers in the schools.
 That is getting education in the schools as it should be. There are cur rent happenings of vastly more im- portance than ancient history and scholars should be encouraged to study subjects which will be of more practi- cal and speedy benefit.
 It may not be necessary to drop any of the subjects now being studied, but is of great importance that students in our public schools should not be ig- norant of what is going on of National and local importance from day to day.
 About the strangest thing to we'll informed person of this age is to see a man or woman who does not read the newspapers. It is an essential part of every mans business.

Wood Dealers Invention.

A wood dealer Of this city who
handles many cargoes of cord wood
yearly, finding that the time con-
sumed in unloading carts at the yard
amounted to a considerable item of
expense, has invented a cart by which
this item is eliminated entirely. The
cart has a horizontal platform hung
low between a pair Of wheels on a
crank axle. The platform is held in
place by a button shutting into a slot
in the forward part of the frame Of
the cart. The driver backs up to the
stringpiece on the wharf, and his cart
is loaded. Then he drives to the yard,
and when he is at the spot where it
is desired to unload the wood he sim
ply turns the button and releases the
platform, and the platform tips back
ward, and thus the cart unloads it
self. The driver never stops at all
he just keeps right on to the wharf
again. The operation is so extremely
simple and SO obviously economical
that it is a delight to the eye of even
the most casual observer. New York

One Of the most interesting and at
the same time relatively most album
dant birds in the geological gardens
is O fowl which is known by the
pseudo classical name of chauna 1t
is Of unwieldy bulk and has grouty
looking legs. But in spite of this it
is said by that accomplished ornithol-
ogist, Mr.. w. H. Hudson, to soar and
sing in way that rivals the lark. It
is also the most truly amphibious of
birds, as has been lately pointed out
in the ibis.
It's swimming powers are appar-
emily quite on a par with those Of the
duck, and it has this advantage over
that bird that it is clothed in a kind
Of Boynton costume, which is fur
nished by innumerable air spaces in
the skin. These various gifts, COM
bined with an interesting appear
ance, render the bird one Of the most
striking exhibits in the ZOO, but the
drawback is in the voice, which,
possibly on account of the atmos-
phere of this metropolis, is far from

An Interesting Bridge.

A novel and ingenious use that was
made some time ago of rapid river
current in India APPLY illustrates the
fertility of resource of the average
engineering contractor At certain
point along the river a temporary
bridge was urgently necessary for
the transport of materials to be used
in the building of an important neigh
boring structure, but the only avail
able material was quantity of three
inch planking about 10 feet long and
q little over feet wide and some or
binary round timber cut from a
neighboring forest.
Pontoons were made of two single
planks, placed about Is feet apart,
each plank being held on edge at an
angle of about so degrees from the
vertical, both inclining up stream
and kept at their proper distance by
framing made from the round timber
already mentioned. Both pontoons
were moored to a chain. The pecul-
iarity of the bridge, of course, was
that the water pressure upon the in
clined surfaces Of the planks, due to a
swift current, permitted them to
carry considerable load, and the
structure served its purpose admira-
bly,, accommodating a pretty lively
traffic for an unexpectedly long pc
