Trade PROSPECTS in Cuba,

Cuba is an out-and-out agricultural
country, and American enterprises can
only succeed when recognizing the
fact l think, however, that one OF
the first things needed throughout
Cuba will be electric railroads. After
this the next important item of ship
ment should be lumber and building
materials Real estate in Havana is
selling at next to nothing. 1t has not
been possible to collect mortgages or
get judgment against any property
during the last year. Building opera
tions with strong government, there
fore, should, think, have a consider
able boom | should also imagine that
a number of large sugar reineries in
Cuba would be a profitable investment.
In addition, public schools, roads and
road impliments and minery machin-
cry are needed. There are many op-
portunities, think, for large hotels

Walking As a Tonic.

The lack Of proper outdoor exercise
walking briskly and inhaling plenty
of fresh air, is the cause of fully one
half the ills that feminine flesh is heir
to.
Walking, which also means standing
erect, with shoulders thrown back,
lungs expanded, and head well poised
is the best tonic that can be prescribed
for exhausted brains, weakened mus
cles, and threadbare nerves.
And appropriate dressing is an i'm
portant item, in order to secure the
fullest possible benefit. To walk in
tight shoes, snug-itting corset, and
trailing skirts is disastrous rather
than beneficial to womankind.
Club women, who have studied the
situation, prepare for their walks by
donninS short bicycle skirts, short
light jackets, low-heeled, square-toed
boots and light hats. The corset
tight or loose, is wholly discarded

"The act of Congress Of 1861 provided
for an income tax. The constitution
ality of this was questioned by some
on the ground that in pontical econ
omy an income tax is regarded as a
direct tax. The Supreme Court de-
cided that it was not a direct tax in
the sense of the Constitution.
The tax was per cent per annum
on the excess over $500. In 1865 it
was changed to per cent on the ex-
cess in incomes of over $500; but ten
per cent on the excess over $4,000.
For the years 1870 and 1871 it was 21a
per cent on the excess of over $4,000.
No income tax has been levied since
1871. The amount collected in 1866
was $61 100000
The millionaires demanded freedom
from federal taxation and the court
granted their claim. Is their victory
complete? The court may be reorgan-
lied and restore the former rightful
construction that continued so many
years.
1t is hard to tell what the years will
bring. One thing is certain, change
will come. There is nothing of life
permanent. The flower grows, with
ers and dies. The child. the nation
mature, advance and decay. This ma
tion in it's present state can no more
live than it could half slave and half
free.
Our unequal taxation is one of the
dangers out of the many. President
Harrison in his address warned the
men of great wealth that they were
making a mistake-were on a danger
Gus road He said one of the condi-
contribution to the expenses of the
state and local governments. 1t is not
only wrong, but it is unsafe to make
a show in our homes and on the street
that is not made in the taz returns.
All this is only one of the minor dang
ers, but yet it must be removed. If
the wisdom of the nation cannot give
us something better, let the statesmen,
if we have any, investigate the Single
Tax and try its merits-many believe
it has merits. Do something, for
Heavens sake and the Nations. 1t
cannot be worse than our present un-
equal plan. w. P. BENNETT.

A FAMOUS TOWN.

l know a town, not far from here
| Tis small, but famous far and near.
'Tis famous for its seat of learning,
Where those for love and wisdom yearning
Can study to their hearts content;
And sex doth prove no detriment--
For boys and girls, or young or old,
May come within the precious fold
or this their Alma mater
But this Is not the only boast
or the famous town not far from here
Its streets are wide and shaded by trees
With LEAKAGE SO dense,
or height SO immense,
That vistas Of woodland they seem to appear
AS famed and cooled by the breeze.
'Tis laved by two rivers OF silver sheen,
This town tn ats not distant from here.
But alas! Those rivers are treach rous and
near:
/ Their foods Oft cost trembl ng and fear
And water works too, form source OF re nown
And of pride to the quaint little town;
But tn water that thro' its arteries flow
Course silently, grumblingly, turbld and
Not like young blood.
But ireighted with mud.
An Indian mound,
Where relics are found
or a race without story or name,
Lorks proudly down
Upon the town
That basks in the sur shine of fame
But last, tho not least, the boast Of the town
Are its girls so Lr. ght and so merry.
SO full of life, 50 full of fun,
So free from care and worry
That they trip down the street
AS with wings to their feet,
Stepping proudly,
Laughing loudly.
And as Mahomet went to the noun tain,
So they trip to the soda fountain,
Always laughing,
soli quaffpg.
Or, perchahce store is handy,
Filled with luscious fruit or candy:
In they rush / u wild array
Out they come now, candy cruuching
Or perhaps bananas munchlng
Be it night or day,
Caring neither for young or old,
Moving along so fearless and bold
That one can but wonder that tOm-boys so
loud
Could thrive in town that's so famous and
proud. . II
