The Decay of American Commerce.

AS rule, the States of the Federal
mon tax shipping as other property is
taxed, regardless of the fact that the other
leading maritime nations usually impose
no taxes on shipping as property, but tax
only the actual earning of shipping: as
Stunning doubtless, and correctly that
ff0m the very nature of its use shipping
can not fairly share in the benefits which
accrue from state and municipal taxation
toI public purposes. In short, when

1t Is built, it is navigating the ocean, re-
mote, except during brief stay in port,
from the fields and purposes to which
state and local taxes are applied
Only one State-Delaware-
shipping from all taxation: New York and
Alabama exempt so much of their ship
ping as is engaged in foreign trade; Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connec-
ucut tax the earnings only of their ship
ping ID foreign trade; and, under decision
OF the United States Supreme Court,
pennsylvania imposes no tax on it's ship
ping IN interstate or foreign trade.
All other States tax all classes of vessels
as personal property, making no distinc-
ton between those engaged in foreign and
domestic trade
4He comparative burden OF taxation on
shipping in the United States and the
maritime states of Europe finds practical
illustration in the following examples:

A Great En- cheering Feat.

What is believed to be one of the great
est engineering feats on record was I'M
dertaken successfully in Philadelphia last
week on the New York division of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The old iron span
in the bridge crossing the Schuylkill river
in Paramount Park was replaced by new
structure of steel in the space of minutes
and IS seconds, accurately timed.
Owing to the heavy equipment which
the railroads are adopting to meet the de-
mands of heavier traffic the old span in
tie bridge was deemed too light A new
steel span has been in progress of con
struction for some months on false work
erected in the river alongside of and par
aliel to the old one. 1t is known as a
Pratt truss span.
The problem presented itself how to
substitute the new structure for the old.
1t was effected between the passage of two
way trains over the bridge nine minutes
apart In that short time the tracks
were cut from the old span, both struct-
ures We're raised by hydraulic jacks and
settled on 1876 iron rollers three feet in
diameter which moved ON two tramways.
These tramways extended on the opposite
side of the bridge far enough to hold the
old span when the new one was shifted
into its place.
At given signal stationary engines set
the shifting process in motion and it was
completed smoothly and successfully in
less than two minutes and half The
weight on the tramways was l, 700 tons.
The tracks We're rejointed and the entire
operation was effected without delay to
the next train to arrive.
The new span is double tracked, and is
242 feet long, % feet wide and 80 feet
above the surface of the river. The COM
pany, it is believed, will undertake the
same engineering feat at New Brunswick
before long

The Influence of Medicines.

The idea formerly entertained by the av-

teriously; exerting magical kind of power
that was not understood, but nevertheless
of undoubted potency. To-day We know
that medicines are only useful in supplying
that which defective constitutions lack

elements needed. Perfectly agreeable to

The Lady of the First PuIlets.

The Lady of the First PuIlets.
Said the old mother hen, with satisfied
chuck:
"My children, don't fancy these eggs are
mere luck;
Remember my care when YOU were wee
things,
How l kept you all warm meath my moth
erly wings,
How l taught you to scratch and hunt
worms-alI the tricks
That help to make sturdy and vigorous
chicks"
Crowed the old father rooster as soon as he
knew:
"Now you see what great Cock doodle
can do
You have watched me with profit, from
morning till night,
AS L strutted and scratched to your moth
er's delight,
And I've crowed by the yard, when you sat
on the nest,
And explained all the methods considered
the best
Quoth good Farmer Brown, when he came
in that day,
"Wife, the early Minorcas are startin to
lay;
Well, I've given 'em powders, an ground
bone an meat;
An watched 'em right smart, an kept the
nests sweet:
They're good stock-but then I've 'knack,
an l say,
1 ken beat ali creation at maxim hens lavl"
But the proud little pullets paraded the
sheds,
And turned up their combs, and t1irted their
heads,
And laughed in their feathers, and said
saucy elves
"We know that we laid those eggs all by
ourselves,"
