A TAX ON BACHELORS.

Argentina Seeks to Drive Her Young Men
Into Matrimony.
The news reaches us by way of Eng.
land that law has been passed by the
parliament Of Argentina putting q tar
on oelibacy. The text Of the enactment
has not yet arrived at the Argentina
consulate. but its general features are
given in London dispatch.
Every unmarried male between the
ages of 30 and 80 years falls under the
provisions Of the law. He must pay to
the state monthly tax, the amount OF
which ie determined by circumstances
over which he may or may not have
control. In particularly heinous in.
stances of single blessedness the mulct
is heavy. Ordinary misdemeanants in
oelibacy escape more easily. There are
few conditions which may be pleaded
in mitigation or complete abatement Of
damages. Priests are not taxed.
The law is aimed directly at men,
but both sexes may be made to feel it.
OF course the men are considered the
chief offenders, since in negotiations
leading to matrimony they are supposed
TO take the initiative. Moreover, they
have all the money. But there are cir.
cumstances in which the women may
be considered partioeps oriminis, acoes'
sories before or after the fact
Thus the maid or widow who, hav.
ing received the tender Of q heart and
hand. promises the suppliant to be sis
ter to him. must give to competent
court . good and sufficient reason OF
else pay fine of $500, South American
silver. What is worse, the fine money
goes to the rejected suitor who makes
complaint.

AFRAID OF VANDALISM.

The objection tn Having the Inaugural
Ball In the Library Building.
An all absorbing controversy has
arisen in Washington over the question
Of whether the new library building
shall be used for the inaugural ball, and
it may be necessary for Chairman Han
Ma to return here and issue definite and
peremptory orders for the carrying ont
Of his determination that the ball take
place in tho great rotunda of this beau
tiful building.
The objection now raised is that van
dalism will run riot in the elaboratoly
decorated halls, and the local papers are
devoting several columns day in dis
cussing the question Of whether or not
the American people will endeavor to
carry away the library building piece
meal. 1t is fact that the most watch.
full vigilance is necessary OH the part Of
the policemen in all the government
buildings to keep them from being
hacked to pieces by relic hunters. and as
an inauguration crowd is the worst of
its kind, perhaps the fear of those who
take pride in preserving the public build
ings from destruction is justifiable
II is only year ago that pastor Of
an intelligent congregation in large
sized town. while sightseeing in Wash
ington. was arraigned in the police
court for having deliberately hacked a
piece off the Washington monument
with a Ratchet. He was fined for the
offense, after having said that he was
tempted into the deed by his bride.

He Is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. p, Lippman's Great Rem
edv, For II.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was SO badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.
TlSM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that =. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his check bone and temple, down
the right side Of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Gould only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried y. j. p. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. p. p. will not make
q total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, p. p. p, Lippman's Great Rem
edy. for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. p. p. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by p. p. p, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies, take p. p. p. and rid your
face Of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redncss.

ONLY ONE LOVED HIM.
NapOieon's Foster Mother Had n True
Affection for Him.


Mason states in his memoirs of Ma
poleon that the Little Corporal bit
terly regretted that no woman had ever
really loved him. Even Nine. VALE
wska married as soon as Napoleon vas
sent to st. Helena. proving conclusively
that her course of action was prompted
by the love of her country, and not for
any tenderness that she may have felt
for the great general. Nevertheless, II
Napoleon was a failure as "A lover and
husband" according to Mason he sue
ceeded in retaining the alteration Of his
fo~ster-mother to the end. The deepest
affection existed between Mammuccia
Caterina and her nursing. She rame
to Paris to see him crowned emperor,
and when told by Napoleon to ask him
for any favor, begged that she might
be introduced to the pope. The old
lady so amused his holiness with ac-
counts of her "garcon,' as she was wont
to call the emperor, that he forgot In
her society the difficulties of the situa-
ton. Mammuccia Caterina nearly died
of grief when she heard of her garcon's
downfall. And nothing could be more
forcible than the terms with which she
denounced Marie Louise for not follow
ing Napoleon into exile. Mammuccia
Caterina, despite her great age, vas
preparing to 90 and comfort her gar
con at st. Helena when she died. Dur
ing his prosperity Napoleon heaped
fayors upon her and her family. To-
day her descendants bear the title Of
barons and are received in the best
society OF Paris. Their family name is
