An aged Georgia negro, Nathan by
name, is employed by a gentleman
very prominent in state politics, says
The Youths Companion. That Nathan
also has an eye to political favors is
shown by the following conversation,
which recently took place between him
and his employer: "Marse JIM" said
Nathan, lis you gwine in dis yere race

Paying taxes on the installment plan
is one of the happy thoughts of a
municipal philosopher, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Why not pay them
that way? There is nothing particu-
larly sacred about the period of one
round year that would make it neces-
sary to tax by that period rather than
by any other Thrifty people might
prefer to pay by the year, but few peo-
pie are thrifty. Some men prefer to
pay their house rent by the year, but
that is not the rule. There is no abso-
lutte reason why taxes should go by the
year either. Furthermore, if taxes
came into the treasury by the month,
it is doubtful if so many wasteful ex-
penditures would be made by municipal
governments. The large figures in an
nual budgets tempt TO large appropria-
tions. This municipal philosopher
may have hit on great idea. More
taxes raised with less grumbling and
with narrower appropriations would be
a wonderful boon.

A novel sight is reported to have been
witnessed in the chocolate mills at
Dorchester, Mass. oae evening lately.
An assemblage of 240 men and 1875 wom-
zen was there, each OF whom received
legacy of at least 500 from their late
Employer, Henry J.. Pierce. The total
amount distributed was $43, 300, after
which came speeches, a banquet and
dancing. More than so per cent. of the
employees have worked in the mills more
than ten years. The legacies were a
free gift, with no conditions attached.
The two men in North TorrawanGa,
N. y, who announced that they would
give their daughters a dot Of $4,000
and $4,000, respectively, have been over
whelmed with correspondence, and per-
Bonal callers also are numerous. But
the two young women say they were
mot consulted and will have nothing to
do with the scheme. Fathers should
realize that they are not built for match

Ter Embarrassing Mistake.

In Washington recently, reports am
exchange from that city, one of the
many society maidens of the nations
capital was waiting patiently for her
best young man to take her to the the
ater. She was all ready but her cape,
which she had placed on table in the
hall. 1t was nearly eight o'clock when
he came, and no time was to be lost.
She met him at the door, and, grabbing
her cape, hurried off. They boarded
Pennsylvania avenue car, which, of
course, did not go fast enough. They
never do when young lady thinks she
may miss something in the playhouse.
For some reason the other occupants of
the car seemed to be choking with sup
pressed hilarity. After riding couple
of blocks the young man understood
why, and, whispering fewwortls to his
companion, he motioned to the con-
ductor to stop the car. She snatched
what she supposed was her cape and
blushed furiously. Her mother had
placed her little brothers knee pants,
which needed repairing, upon the table.
