ness before the collector and compelling that official to make the return for him. If all taxpayers choose this lat ter alternative the collector could never get around. The mechanical difficult ties of the situation are thus shown: There are now some 65 collectors of internal revenue in the entire United States, and, while the law would pos- sibly authorize the appointment of as many as 126, there would be no appro- priation for the payment of salaries to any collectors in excess of the number now existing. In the city of New York, exclusive of the annexed district them takes the entire island north of Twenty-fourth street on the North river side and Catharine street on the East river side. If every taxpayer in that district should consent to dis close the particulars of his business to the collector and require the col- lector to make the return TOT nm, It is clear that the collector could not in the course of year go through the hundredth part of the number. One collector now has in his charge the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and if that collector should undertake, as the law requires of him, to call at the residence or place of business of every person presumably liable to pay a tax, it needs no argu- ment to show that it would be impossi- ble for him to do the work.
 It isn't probable that any attempt will be made to defeat the law in the way indicated. It will, however prob ably be knocked out by the Republi- can congress.

SOME RECoRD-BREAKERS.

l It always gives us pleasure to note
 the feats of a record breaker, for record
 breaking shows superior ability, or capacity. The man who can run faster
 jump higher, play the piano longer, lift
 more, or drink more beer than any of
 his fellow men is great man until
 somebody rises and downs him in his special branch of effort, Then there
 is another great man, and so on until the limit is reached.
 Joseph Hufford, of Burnettsville, In diana. is a record-hreaker and his su- periority has been displayed in a rather unusual way He has been baptized more times than any other living man. He first joined the Old Dunkard denomi- nation, and according to the rules of the church was immersed three times, face downward, Afterwards he joined the New Dunkards, and was baptized once with his face upward. Subsequent ly he changed his relations successive
 y to the Baptist and the New Light churches and was immersed each time. Then he joined the Methodist church and was baptized by sprinkling. Lately he has gone back to his first love, the Old Dunkard church, and has been inn nersed three times, this time through a hole in the ice,
 MT. Hufford is easily the champion in his line. So is 8 woman who lives in the little town of Meath, Wales, in hers. She takes the cake as marrier. She began to make her record when she was but fifteen years old. She is not yet quite forty and she has been married eleven times. And the beauty of her work is that no claim of foul can be made against any of it. She has not had one divorce. but she has come to the scratch in all her marriages. except, of course. the first, as a widow, with the dear departeds duly dead, decently buried and appropriately mourned. If she lives and keeps in training she may be able to make her string twenty be- fore she dies or loses interest in the game. She has already found eleven who are willing to take the risk, and she can probably find nine more who i will be equally reckless.
 These two cases of record breaking are decidedly interesting. New Haven has | some record-breakers. For instance, she holds and has long held the cham for talk without saying any thing.

Ir nOnLn RE REArEN

It appears that the income tax law
 its scope would band together i'm re-
 sisting its enforcement. An ingenious gentleman who was deputy commis- sioner of internal revenue when the former income tax law was in force points out that only the collectors themselves, and not deputy collectors Gas permitted by the present law), can constitutionally collect the income tax. Tn substantiating this he quotes the decision of the attorney-g general, when the former tax law was in force, that the assessors themselves and not as- sistant assessors were empowered by the constitution to collect the tax. The ground was that by the constitution such inferior officers must be appointed by the heads of departments and not by appointors who are themselves in- ferior officers. such as were the as- sessors. By this decision collectors of internal revenue cannot appoint deputy collectors to receive the income tax, Furthermore, the collectors who alone can collect the tax, are compelled by law to call on the taxpayer, and the is not required to call on the collector, Third, the taxpayer has the option of making the return himself, or of laying the condition of his busi-

 It is jaunty cape of brown watered silk that the artist contributes here, and it is another of the novelties that are soon to have a showing. It is made with fitted vest of brown vel vet hooking in the center and extend ing few inches In the back initiating a yoke to which the cape is sewed. The latter is lined with pale pink taf- feta and the garniture consists of bre- telles, epaulettes and ruffle in the back of pink and brown striped velvet rib- bon, large rosettes of the same mark ing the points of the bretelles i'm front Over the shoulders there are small sprays of daisies.
 Ordinarily it is the jacket that blooms in the spring, rather than the cape, and considering how much capes are worn all winter and how nearly the velvet cape was done to death from it's great popularity, it would seem as if the jacket should have an especially fine opportunity. But there is one big point that works against it, and that Is the unterrified continuance of big sleeves. Till the fashion tars take reefs in this upper gear capes will have the call. So all that is necessary this year is to have a cape that is newly fashioned to be right in the advance ranks of the stylish ones.

This makes the big sleeve possible, for the button can be adjusted after the wrap Is otherwise in place.

The question of the stability of their fghting-ships seem to be a pretty serious one for the French admiralty. At first the report was that only one or two uncompleted ships of the, newest type were under suspicion, but it ap- pears now that miscalculations have been made in the top weights of a number of vessels which are to be stripped of their upper works and military masts.

A Springfield (New Jersey) farmer has been cured of rheumatism of some months standing by the explo- sion of some bottles of water placed in the stove oven to heat. It was the in tention to place the bottles about him as he lay in bed helpless, but when the explosion came, wrecking the stove, he Jumped from the bed and ran out of the house, and not a trace of rheuma- tism has he had since.

Legal proof as to the speed at which trolley cars are run in Brooklyn is fur nished by Raphael J. Moses, who as counsel for number of citizens took measures to have the actual time made between certain points recorded by two witnesses and then had the distance be- tween these points measured. Forty-one tests of this kind have been reported for him in affidavits. They show that in every instance the legal rate of ten miles an hour was exceeded. The dis tances over which the rate of speed was measured were usually from half a mile to a mile and a half. In thirty-three of the forty-one tests the speed was over twelve miles an hour, and eleven of them were run at a rate of more than twenty miles an hour, one going up to twenty-six, one to twenty eight and one Ito thirty miles an hour. No wonder Brooklyn is celebrated for the destruc- tiveness of it's trolley system.

Recent returns show that 1,55O,0O0 acres of land are planted with cork trees in Spain. It is just 100 years since a cork factory was started in Corona, and the manufacture of cork is now one of the chief industries of the country. Over 1,4OO, ,OOO corks for bottles, rep resenting a value of $2.7OO,000 are pro- duced annually and about 12,OOO men are engaged in cork work. It is diff1- cult to calculate the income derived from cork, as statistics in Spain are very faulty, and no account is kept of the cork used in the country itself It is estimated, however, that during the present year $5,S69OOO was paid for the cork exported.

The Palmetto State promises to make
a success Of her law as to dispensaries
The people of that State seem to be In
favor of it. II We may judge from the

After ali the commotion which was
caused by the starting OF South Caro-
lina's State-liquor-selling machine, 1t is
evident that 1t is now working very well,
and that its destruction Is not likely to
come very soon. The reports OF its ope,

business success. and probably so much
OF a success that the burden Of direct
taxation In South Carolina will be con-
siderably lightened.
