AG4TN THE FIX.

It is now announced that Judge Jack son of the United States Supreme court has voted or will vote for the constitutionality and the upholding of the income tax law, at least on the points that were not set aside by the first decision, or lack of decision. How this discovery was made doth mot ap- pear, but when the fact that the re- cent action of the court leaked out is remembered it is not hard to believe that there has been another leak and that when the action of the court is formally announced it will be old news.
 Meanwhile the tax returns already received at the Treasury department are being classified and recorded. AL though the officials are extremely reti- cent On the subject, 1t is believed that the rent exemptions will amount to fifty per cent. of the estimated receipts. The whole number of returns made under the law Is approximately 150,000, and LHe eSLuIldLe iG IIdu6 l4lttL IllSSS Itpl0- sent not more than 75 per cent. of the number of persons legally liable under the law. If the recent decision of the court Is sustained the delinquents will certainly be proceeded against as rap idly as possible. It Is asserted that the persons who have failed to make returns have done so with a clear un- derstanding of the law, and in many cases have refused to comply with it, pre6erring, on Legal advice, to take their chances of being compelled to pay the penalty.
 What mess! The income tax was to save the country and the Democratic party. It is finding it uphill work to save itself.

have the fear then that a person would naturally expect under such circum- stances. All I remember Is that the grave is lonely place, and the silence of the tomb was horribly oppressive. A dreamy sensation came over me, and a sense of suffocation became apparent. My whole system was paralyzed; were 1t otherwise my struggles would have been desperate.
 How long I remained in this condi- tion I do not know. The first sense of returning life came over me when l heard the scraping of a spade on my coffin lid, I felt myself raised and borne away. I was taken out of my coffin, not to my home, but to a dissect- ing room. I beheld the doctors who had waited on me at my home dressed in long white aprons. In their hands they had knives. Through my half closed eyes saw them engaged in a dispute. They were trying to decide how to cut me up.. One argued one way, while the other doctor took anoth- CT view of the matter. All this I wit messed through my half-open eyes. My sense of hearing was remarkably acute. Both approached the table and opened my mouth to take out my tongue, when, by superhuman effort. my eye lids were slightly raised. The next thing heard was:
 Look out, you fool, he Is alive
 He is dead rejoined the other doc- tor.
 See, he opens his eyes continued the first doctor. The other physician let his knife drop, and short time af- ter that I commenced to recover rapid- ly. Instead of cutting me up they took me home. There was great rejoicing among my relatives. owed my life to the doctors dispute as to what ailed me during my illness. suppose was kept alive for some purpose" contin- ued MT.

Boat Sailing, Fair Weather and Foul" from he pen of the well-known authority, Captain A. J. Kenealy, has just left the presses~of the Outing Pulp fishing Company. The volume is pros fusely illustrated, and in addition to be- ing the latest and most complete work of its kind, it has the marked advan- tage of being both instructive and in- teresting, even to those who have never hauled on a sheet or held stick. In brief, the book covers the subject of boats and boat sailing from the time when "Man made him boat of hol- low tree, and thus became lord of the bounding sea-" down to the present wonderful advancement in marine architecture, as exemplified in "Vigi- lant," "VallSyrie," "Britanni," "Ailsa," and other flyers. Valuable chapters for beginners .are-"Advice to an Ama- teur," ''The Choice of a Boat" "TriaI Spin in a Cat-boat" "The Yawl Rig" Keep Your Weather Eye Open," Com binatlon Rowing and Sailing Boats," Rigging and Sails" Laying Up for Wlnter," Useful Hints and Recipes"

 Pierced stones are now the thing with those women who can expend fortune on a single diamond ornament. The stones are cut like common beads, pierced and strung on a gold wire. Amy very deep stone can be cut down thus and pierced. though, of course, lots of the stone is lost in the process. Meanwhile crystals thus cut look as pretty and are great deal more satis- factory to any but the sanguinary mind of a woman who would cut up lace for the pattern, kill birds to wear them on her hat, or pierce diamonds.
 Easier of attainment than these bau- bles is the dress pictured here, and it should be a source of much satisfaction to the wearer because of it's unusual cut Made of silk and wool mixed goods, its blouse waist has a deep yoke of silk, large baggy pleat in front and an arrangement of drapery beside this which is punched up into full TO- settes on the shoulders. The back is made similar except for the draping. Rosettes also trim the folded collar. The sleeves end in fitted cuffs, and the godet skirt is garnished with ribbon straps and bows. FLoRETTE.

LOGICAL RUT RIDICULOUS.

It is astonishing what a scientist shut
 up in his own little cage, will discover. Here comes Professor Kuster of Mar
 burg and deposes that tight lacing is a ldirect cause of movable kidney in wo- men. Ninety-three per cent. of the to- tai number of cases occur in women and only seven in men, and the learned pro- fesaor has found that 1t is the pressure on the ribs of women who lace that loosens the kidney.
 This is just like careful, logical sci- enlist. He sees cause and effect and makes the connection between them as skillfully as an experienced brakeman couples cars. But he sometimes makes mistake in his calculations, even as the experienced brakeman does. If Professor Muster had looked around out of his cage just 8 little he would have discovered something else, and that is that no woman ever laces tightly and therefore no woman's kidney or kidneys can be 1oosened by tight facing. He could ask any woman of his acquaint- ance who laces and he would find that she could easily put her hand under what might appear to him to be very tight lacing, and could laugh heartily at him while revealing to him the ab- surdity of his science and his logic She would also tell him that what little lacing she did do was very beneficial to her, and that she had never had such good health as she had enjoyed since she began to lace. Then she would take a look in the glass and assure him that If she were inclined to really lace tight ly her figure would be much improved, but she preferred health to really good figure.
 No, movable kidney in women can't possibly be due to a cause which does not exist. The professor had better let his movable kidney theory go, and in- vestigate the cause or causes of change able heart in women. If he can discov- CT even a plausible explanation of that he will be interesting and famous.

commercial prosperity of the city is at
SHOIfN.

A great cry and a little price for wool. During the memorable campaign in favor of Grover Cleveland and a De- ficiency tariff the wool growers were perslstently and vociferously assured that free wool would so stimulate the manufacture of cloth and clothing in the United States that wool, being in greater demand would command high CT prices. Manyof thernwere so impress ed by the attractive theory that they voted for free wool and higher price, They got the free wool but the higher price has not yet appeared. It is re- ported that in a certain clip of Missouri wool the following has been the range of prices for the past few years: For that of 1889, 26o; 1890, 24%c; 1891, 25ac; 1892, 24c; 1893, 2Sc; 1894, 17c; 1895, 13c. The average price from 1889 to 1893, both years included, was about 24 3-5c. For 1894 and 1895 the average was 15c. On another clip the price was 23c from 1889 to 1892, inclusive, and it was 22c in 1S9S 16c in 1894 and 12o in 1895. The average in 1SSS-93 was 22 4-5c, and it was 14c in 1S94-5. These quotations are, in all cases, the top St. Louis figures in their class, which is the best grade of Missouri fine wool.
 Three cheers for free wool! Three cheers for humbug politics! And three times three cheers for free silver!

Bracelets Worn Outside the Gloves.
 Bracelets are coming in vogue again and it is possible that they may be worn over the gloves, which seems a h1deous fashion, but one of the prettiest tricks of new jewelry is a dainty brace- let of linked violets, the stems of which are naturally tinted as is the real bloom. This bracelet is equipped with a tiny catch which nips the Kid of the glove, thereby holding 1t in place. Ev- cry woman knows how unbeeoming a

There appears to be good ground off the complaints from the exhibitors at the Worlds Columbian exposition about the continued delay in the distribution of the medals awarded by the judges of the exhibits.

Boston has a grievance against the national government and apparently a just one. The condition of the chan mel at the entrance to Boston harbor is such that there is hardly room to maneuvre q large steam vessel there, and the slightest deviation from the course is likely to result in running such a vessel aground. The Venetian was recently wrecked there. and now the Georgian of the same line has narrowly escaped the same fate. The consequence is that shipowners, it is said, are seriously discussing the feasi- bility of seeking some other port. The government has again and again been asked to widen and deepen the chan mel, but while ports like Galveston, for example, are generously treated, Bos- ton has been put off until the entire
