The INJUSTICE OF SocIETY.-It is
very curious that some people may do
with perfect impunity what will ruin
others in the estimation of society, and
it is one of the social puzzles of the
day why certain people who talked
about 60 under, while others who may
have done exactly che same thing land
the world knows iD apparently keep
their positions.
Two women may have been equally
foolish, and one is az much in the
swim as ever, while Mrs. Grundy
stares coldly at the other through her
lorgnette and declines to continue her
acquaintance. The business methods
of a couple of men may be similar,
yet one goes scot free, and is even
praised for his so-called sharpness,
while the other is called dishonorable
and "shady."
This obvious injustice is feature Of
Vanity Fair, whose edicts are all too
apt to give to him who hath and to
take away from him who hath not, and
whose only criterion Of respectability
is success.

Notions ABOUT SLEEP.-The ma
tives of the Philippine Islands have
many peculiar notions and practices.
They are indolent in the extreme-in
which respect they can hardly be
called peculiar-and never tire of sit
ting still and gazing at nothing in
particular. One of the rudest acts, in
their eyes, is to step over person
asleep on the floor. Sleeping is with
them a very solemn matter. They are
strongly averse to waking any one, the
idea being that during sleep the soul
is absent from the body, and may not
have time to return if slumber is sud-
denly broken. If you call upon
native, and are told, che is asleep"
you may as well depart. To get
servant to rouse you, you must give
him the strictest of orders. Then, at
the time appointed, he will stand at
your side and call: "Senor, senorW
repeatedly, each time more loudly
than before, until you are half awake
then he will return to the lower note,
and again raise his voice gradually till
you are fully conscious.

IT ALTERED THE CAsE.-The late
French Senator, Renaud, was an earn
est Christian, and some one tells a
good story of his practical application
of Christianity to daily life:
When Renaud first came to Paris
from his home in the Pyrenees, he en-
gagged a room at a hotel and paid a
months rent-in advance. The pro-
prietor asked him if he would have q
receipt.
ut is not necessary, replied Renaud.
"God witnessed the payment"
"Do you believe in God?" sneered
the host.
"Most assuredly," replied Renaud,
"don't you?"
"Not I, monsieur"
"Ah," said the senator, "in that
case, please make me out receipt"

As Result of the Structures on "Lei
MiserabIes."
1t is a fact, says the Philadelphia
Record, that contumacious humanity
like the "Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
of the nursery book, is hound to go
Just the way the moralist don't want
it to 60. For instance, since the threat
ened suppression of Hugo's noble 'Les
Miserables," that work has enjoyed
unusual popularity in Philadelphia.
Now Hugo himself has well said that
guarantees are the same to facts that
repose is to a man, so to see that our
facts were well-backed, a call at the
principal libraries were in order. One
fact there is no getting around: the
book has been in greater demand by
every class of people than ever before.
People who are wondering why they
should really top-shelve it are reading
it again to help them make their de-
cision those who never dreamed there
was anything suppressible in it are
fairly crying for it, while the mass OF
humanity which is only waiting for
the cue as to whether anything lively
may be found are waiting their turn.
Moral: the effect that any suppression
has among unlearned readers may we'll
be considered by the suppressors before
they thus advertise what they seem to
consider q works shortcoming. Per-
haps it will amuse you to look over
some of these sayings which were
marked in much -thumbed volumes OF
this work that happened to come in
while librarian was speaking of it to
the writer

p9 Hot-house grapes are the cost
liest of fruits in the New York mar
ket. They are never less than rs
cents a pound, and when they are
most costly, in February and March,
they sell for nine dollars a pound,
sometimes going as high as ten dol
lars a pound. At prices ranging up
to two dollars a pound there is ready
sale for them; at the higher prices
they are sold almost exclusively for
the use of invalids. The next most
costly fruit is the dollhouse peach.
Hot.house peaches sell in February
at $3.50 each. They are used by in
valids, but such peaches are also often
sold for gifts. They are presented as
flowers or as bonbons would be.

The THEORY OF GEORGE.
The Single Tax Plan Proposed by Henry
George.

The Single Tax Plan Proposed Dy henry
George.
The following is the single tax Chi
cago conventions platform, written
by the late Henry George in 1898:
We assert as our fundamental prin-
ciple the self-evident truth enunciated
in the Declaration of Independence,
that all men are created equal and are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights.
We hold that all men are equally
entitled to the use and enjoyment Of
what God has created and what is
gained by the general growth and i'm
provement of the community of which
they are part. Therefore, no one
should be permitted to hold natural
opportunities without a fair return to
all for any special privilege, thus ac-
corded him, and that value which the
growth and improvement of the COM
munity attach to land should be taken
for the use of the community.
We hold that each man is entitled
to all that his labor produces. There
fore, no tax should be levied on the
products of labor.
TO carry out these principles we are
in favor of raising all public revenues
for national, state, county and munich
pal purposes by a single tax on land
values, irrespective of improvements,
and of the abolition of all forms of
direct and indirect taxation.
Since in all our states we now levy
some tax on the value of land, the
single tax can be instituted by the
simple and easy way of abolishing, one
after another, all other taxes now
levied, and commensurately increasing
the tax on land values until we draw
upon that one source for all expenses
of government, the revenues being
divided between local governments,
state governments and the general
government as the revenue from direct
taxes are divided between the local
and state governments, or a direct
assessment being made by the general
government upon the states collected
in this manner.
The single tax we propose is not u
tax on land, and therefore would not
fall on the use Of land and become a
tax on labor.
1t is a tax, not on land, but on the
value of land. Thus it would not fall
on all land, but only Cd valuable land,
and on that not in proportion to the
use made of it, but in proportion to its
value-the premium which the user Of
land must pay to the owner, either in
purchase money or rent, for permis-
sion to use valuable land. 1t would
thus be tax, not on the use and i'm
provement of land, but on the owner
ship of land, taking what would 9th
erwise 60 to the owner as owner, and
not the user.
In assessments under the single tax
all values created by individual use or
Improvement would be excluded, and
the only value taken into considera-
ton would be the value attaching to

can we must try to discover the time OF
the crime. I believe, squire, you are
the one who last saw Mr.. Lewis alive.
Can you tell at what hour that was. as
near as possible?'
II went to see Mr.. Lewis on the
night of the murder and was in the
parlor with him nearly an hour. must
have gone about s o'clock, for it was
but half past when 7 reached my own
home"
"Then, Of course, he was alive at
that hour. The detective, Mr.. Barnes,
has described to us the tracks which he
found in the snow and also the discov-
cry of the two pistols. These, be thinks,
were fired at the time when or immedi-
ately after the snow had ceased falling
last night. Whether either of these shots
caused the death of Mr.. Lewis or not, at
least it is possible that one Of them made
the flesh wound which DR.. Snow has
described. 1t will be we'll, therefore, to
fix the time when the snowstorm
ceased"
JET Harrison was then called and
swore to the facts which he had related
to Mr.. Barnes, and added that he had
again questioned his daughters and
that they substantiated the opinion
which he had given.
The next person called was Sarah
Carpenter. She came in from an ad-
Joining room. as did all the witnesses,
It having been considered important
that one should not hear the testimony
of the others prior to being examined.
Miss Carpenter sat down rather stiffiy,
and it was evident that she was reluc-
tant witness.
"You are a servant at Riverside
farm?' asked Mr. Tupper.
II assist Miss Lewis in taking care
of the house, but I do not call myself a
servant" was the reply. The lawyer
had evidently gained her i'll will at che
outset, but he took no notice Of tie as
perity of her manner.
"Are there any servants at all?"
II suppose So"
"How many?'
II don't call any of them servants.
There are four men who work on the
farm and boy to do the chores"
"Do any Of these sleep in the house,"
"No; they all sleep in separate out
building"
"How far is that building from the
main dwelling?"
"It is OH the other side of the road al
together. Mr.. Lewis bought the farm
opposite his own about two years ago,
and ever since he has had the men
sleep there" "
"And where do you sleep?"
"In my own house." answered the
girl with an indignant toss of her head.

She jumped Oh the St0n0 ana DuTSt tntO
tears.
But her temper affected Mr.. Tupper as
little as though he had been made Of
stone. With perfect composure he con-
tinued:
"At what time do you leave River
side for your own homer"
when feel inclined"
"Come," said Mr.. Tupper with just a
little sternness, "answer my question. "
II did answer it.
"Answer it againl What time do you
leave the farm?"
"When I get through my work, p" she
answered sullenly.
"Ah! That is betterl Now, then, tell
Us about what time that is usually?"
II can't tell. I have not kept track Of
it,"
"Well, then, at what time did you
start for home on Sunday EVENING""
Look herel What right have you to
ask me all these questionsf' Then
quickly turning to the coroner she con-
tinued, Squire, have 1 got to answer
everything this man asks Of me3"
"You must tell all that you know, "
replied the squire.
"And what if I won 't?"
"You would be guilty Of contempt. "
"And what Of that?"
"I could have you confined in Jail and
kept there until you were willing to an
swer the questions. "
She pondered over this awhile and
then, turning to Mr.. Upper again, said
sharply:
"Tell me at once what it is you are
trying to get out of me?"
81 want to know at what time the
shot was fired that killed Mr.. Lewis"
"How should know?'
"You would have heard the report if
you had been in the house."
"And how do you know I was in the
house?"
"That is what you must tell u.s."
"Well, then, was not in the house. "
"If not in the house, where were you
when the shot was fired?" But she was
too shrewd to be caught in this trap and
replied:
IL did not say I heard the shot"
"You said you were not in the house
when the shooting took place. How
could you be sure Of that unless you
heard it from some other point?"
"You said I would have heard it if !
had been in the house," replied the girl
triumphantly, but Mr.. Tupper quickly
went on:
"Ah! Then you mean to say that you
did not hear the report?"
Il don't mean to say anything Of the
kind," she retorted with similar rapid
ity. This was a trick of Mr.. Tupper's s
to get his witness excited and then by
rapid questioning to surprise her into
such all admission as she had just made.
The words were scarcely uttered before
she saw their import, and she continued
savagely: 'You are making me say
what don't mean. Why don't you ask
for what you want to know without SO
much beating round the bush?"
well, then, come to, the point Did

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE En-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand 1t
lust the same as though they had read 1t
all from the beginning, we here give
SYNOPSIS Of that portion of it which has
already been published:
CHAPTER Fifteen years before the
opening of the story John Lewis went to
live in a place called Lee, in New Hamp-
shire, with a little girl years old, Vir-
ginia. the daughter of his deceased sister.
He had a son who had been left at school,
but ran away and shipped for China.
Five years after Lewis went to Lee
family named Marvel also settled there.
Young Walter Marvel met and loyed vir- ir
ginia Lewis. Alice Marvel, Walters Sis
ter. and Harry Lucas also met and were
reported to be in love with each other.
At the opening of the story person par
porting to be the missing son OF John
Lewis arrives at Lee. Walter Marvel
proposes for Virginia's hand to her uncle,
who refuses, telling him that his uncle,
whose name he bears, was villain and
convict. Young Marvel draws pistol
and shoots at Lewis, but his aim is divert
ed by Virginia. Soon after Lewis IS

holes in his body. His death occurs sim
ultaneously with the arrival OF the man
who claims to be his son. 1I.-Mr.
Barnes, the celebrated detective, and Tom
Burrows, another detective, take up the
case, strongly suspecting Virginia as the
criminal. III.-They examine the
grounds about the house where the muir
der is committed and find footprints OF
man and woman, the woman's foot
prints strengthening their suspicious OF
Virginia. They also find two pistols, one
marked "Virginia Lewis" the other
marked "Alice Marvel" Virginia writes
a letter and goes away with it. Barnes,
disguised, follows her. IV.-Virginia
gives her letter to one Will Everly, who
posts it. Barnes keeps his eye on il, gets
possession of it and thus learns the where
abouts of Walter Marvel. V.-Virgi mia
visits Alice Marvel, who betrays knowl-
edge of the murderer. VI.-John Lewis,
the supposed son of the murdered man,
produces envelopes addressed to him to
prove his identity. He excites suspicion
BY leaving his room at midnight. VII
An autopsy is made of the dead man, and
Barnes arrives at Lee with young Marvel.

TOBACCO AND THE HEART.-The
danger of tobacco-smoking is manifes-
ted, DIR. Troitski thinks, in its effect
upon the action of the heart. During
series of observations he found in
every case, varying according to the
condition of the individual, smoking
produced an acceleration of the pulse
rate and slight elevation of tempera-
ture. Representing the temperature OF
those who do not smoke by 1000, that
of moderate smokers would be zoos,
and while the heart in the former case
was making 1000 pulsations, in the
latter it would beat 1,lSO times.
