ering death from starvation. Mr.
Allen quotes the description of an
eve witness who visited an island
which had been thus desolated, and
who saw hundreds OF broken eggs
and piles of dead, half decayed
birds.
Besides the cruelty involved in
the determination of birds and the
training in habits OF heartless
brutality which such employment
gives to men, there is the injury to
agriculture which is sure to result,
and Of which the signs are now APP
plrent in so ne localities. Through

The mania for egret plumes is
still SO great that it seems to exceed
the former one for wearing the
bodies OF birds, and it is quite as
senseleSs. Any ohscrvant person
who notices these plumes waving,
not singly, but often IN clusters, on
the heads of so many women, must
know that the slaughter has not
been thousands, but millions. If
women must adorn themselves, are
there not many ways of doing it
which need not involve such heart

and gentle woman who has learned
Of it, 70 shun the responsibility Of
carrying alolt the trophies Of such
brutal work?

glancing at it the judge interrupted the
fiedgling by remarking, Mr.. Blank,
what particular meaning did you attach
to this sentence when you wrote it?'
1.-THE young lawyer attempted to ex-
plain, and was finally forced to admit
that he had forgotten the significance Of
that particular sentence. Thereupon the
old chief dryly remarked: You remind
me Of a philosopher who, years after
having written a certain book, was
asked to explain passage. After study
ing awhile he said: Young man,
when that passage was written, just two

The Green Member.

There is a new Irish member Of par
lament from the rural districts whose
artless simplicity is the theme Of many
stories in the London papers. The first
time he heard the time honored cry of
the messengers, "Who goes homer" de-
noting the termination Of sitting, he
exclaimed in establishment to brother
Celt: We'll, did you ever see such i'm
pudence as that? What business is it Of
those fellows who goes homer" But he
eclipsed this performance when he
alighted on the formal announcement Of
the severance of Mr.. Sexton connection
with the house, which was published in
the customary form-namely, that the
gentleman in question had been appoint
ed steward and bailiff of one of her maj
esty's manors. The innocent Hibernian
pointed this out with great concern and
gravity to a brother member, saying,
who'd have thought that Tom Sexton
would have sunk so low as to take a bill
let like that and from a Tory govern
ment tooY-London Correspondent.

The Austrian Premier.

Casimir Felix Badeni, the present
premier Of Austria, is the son Of cook.
His father, who was the chef Of one Of
the last kings Of Poland, was created a
count Then his aunt, the famous Ger
man actress, Anna Wierer, left him the
half of her large fortune. In 1871 he
became district chief Of Zolkiew, and
two years later entered the ministry Of
the interior. For a time he was attached
to the administration Of the Statthalter
in Galicia, but he retired from his Office
to care for large estate that had been
intrusted to his management upon the
death Of his father. In 1883 he was
made governor Of Galicia, an Office ne
held until he was recently appointed
prime minister of Austria by the EN-
peror Franz Joseph. He is said 10 be
worth about $500, 900, but his younger
brother, who has succeeded him as gov
ernor Of Galicia, has been far more con-
sentative in his expenditure and is
credited with being the possessor Of a
much larger fortune.

TAX ON MORTGAGES

The Baltimore Sun of Monday last says
"The Court of Appeals will be called upon

of the reassessment law providing for tax
of 8 per cent. on the interest derived from
mortgages held by building associations.
"To the end that speedy hearing may be
had pro forma decree has been signed in
Circuit Court No. Diminishing the bill of
Jacob Faust against the Twenty third Ger

which decree is asked declaring the mort.
gage tax unconstitutional.
"In his petition MIR. Faust states that he
is advised that the tax provided by the act
OF Assembly to be assessed upon the incomes
from mortgages is an income tax and ap.
plicable TO no other species of incomes than
those derived from mortgages, and is, there.
fore, in violation of the bill of rights, I'm.
constitutional and void, in that the tax is a
direct tax with respect to certain class of

real estate held and owned by residents of
this State.

diminish the assets of the corporation and
increase the liabilities OF the holders of un.
redeemed shares. He therefore asks decree
declaring that the act as applicable to the

unconstitutional, and an injunction is also
asked restraining the corporation from vol

REASSESSMENT.

Alter lapse Of twenty years, and after
various unsuccessful efforts, the people of
this State have at last secured a new assess.
ment law. The new law is intended to
equalize taxes on real estate holdings; it
will add TO the taxable basis almost all class
es Of bonds, at special tax of thirty cents,
and no more, on the 800, and it will add
tax of 8 per cent on the income from mort
gages-equal to about forty cents on the
$100-and but little else. Should the bond
and mortgage features of the bill stand the
test Of the Courts the basis in the State at
large will be considerably increased. But II
the taxes should be levied on the property
heretofore taxed only, there is reason to be
lieve that there will be rise in the rate,
owing to depreciation in the value of real
estate since the last assessment. Among the
exemptions is one of special interest TO our
iarmers-that of the exemption of farm i'm.
plements TO the amount OF $500.
This county is composed of three assessment
districts, one including Rockville, Bethesda,
Potomac and Darnestown districts another
of Wheaton, Coesville, Olney and Lay
louisville districts, and the other of Pooles
vile, Gaithersburg, GAINESVILLE, Damascus
and Clarksburg districts.
The work of reassessment will be done
by local assessor for each election district,
to be appointed by the County Commits
soners, 10 act in their respective districts n
conjunction with the assessors at large for
the county. The general assessors are to
each party. Ninety days are allowed for the
work-from the first Tuesday in June TO the
first Tuesday in September-bu the Gov.
ernor may extend the time to the first Tues
day 10 October. Immediately on entering
upon their duties assessors shall deliver or
send by mail to property owners a form OF
schedule together with notice requiring
the schedule to be filled out and filed with
the assessors within twenty days complete
list of all his property subject TO taxation
Specific directions are provided for property
valuations by the owner. Schedules must
be ready to be sworn to when the assessors
call for them, within twenty days after they
have been received All classes of property
are TO be valued at their full cash value, not
looking to forced sale, and assessors must
inspect all real estate II assessors shall in
; rfiesss the valuation in schedule made by
the owner, the owner TT2apst be be notified and
he shall have twenty days to file notice OF
appeal to the board of control and review
The County Commissioners will act as the
board of control and review.
