A FRUIT CHANDELIER.
Modes of Screening and Softening
Electric Lights

With all its superiority over lamps
and gas, electricity mas been difficult
to utilize in the household. There is
now no excuse why ones drawing
room should dazzle even strong eyes,
with cruel glow of white light, or the
dinner table rival every particular
wrinkle and imperfection in a guests
face since many means there are for
filing the house with an illumination
at once tender and becoming.
The new standard and low lamps,
with their elaborate shades. are al
ready having their burners converted
into sockets where incandescent bulbs
screw in and in place of the ordinary
clear glass chimney those of frosted or
tinted crystal are being substituted as

powerful light. The color Of these
chimneys vary with the shades used.
Under one of nile tinted tulle, looped
with big golden bees and dragon flies,
a green glass chimney covers the bulb,
or a rose-colored one where the shade
is empire shape, decorated with
wreaths and inserted medalliens of the
Empress Josephine.

An Income Tax, aud Alleges that tho Law
Is Unconstitutional.
COLUMBUS, Feb. NC. D. Rogers, jr.,
brings suit agains. tho Columbus manu-.
featuring company, W. S. S. Rodgers, A.
D. Rogers and others, to test the income
tax law. Plaintiff says no owns l47
shares OF stock in the above company,
which is engaged in manufacturing and
dealing in buggies, etc. The above
named defendants comprise the board
Of directors. and by virtue Of the income
tax law intend to pay the United States
tax OF per cont upon the company's
net profits tor the year ending Deem Der
81, 1894.
Plaintiff alleges that said law Is un.
constitutional. null and void, in tina. 1t
10 direct tax in respect 10 tho real ca.
tate held and owned by the company. Is
likewise direct tax upon tho rents, is
sues aud profits oil said real estate, and
also upon Its personal property. Said
tax is imposed on such corporations,
although individuals transac.ing sini.
lar business, unde, like conditions, hav.
ing like property, etc, and income, are
exempt from the the payment OF said
tax.
Plaintiff also alleges that persons hold.
ing stock in such corporations, receiv.
ing dividends therefrom and having
other SOURCES OF income are exempt
from the tax il their net income is less
than $1,000 per annum. Tho effect Of
such companies being compelled to pay
the tax will be to lessen the value OF
the shares OF stock. decrease the divi-
dsnds and compel such persons holding
said sharos, although their incomes arc
less than $1,000 to virtually pay such in.
come tax. Plaintiff says his income
TALL, in this category, and II tho corpo-
ration Is compelled to pay tho tax. he
is also forced to pay his share Of it as a
stockholder.
Plaintiff says il the company pays tho
tax, as II proposes to do. he will be de-.
prived OF par. OF his income, and will
have no remedy at law to recover the
same. He states that suit ia now pond
ing in tho supreme court Of tho United
States to test said law. and asks that tho
directors be enioined from complying
with tho law until that question ia de.
termined. A temporary restraining
order WAS granted BY Judge Pugh until
March ., when a motion will DO heard.
