in the income tax 1t would have been by
no means the first time that an action Of
this kind has been taken in an emergency
brought about by war. Such an inc ease
was made in the " ars ON 1854 to 1877 by
Lord Beaconsfefd 10 prov de for The extra
ordinary disbursements caused by the
Abyssinian war; and in 1884 Mr. Gladstone
followed his example with an increase of
a penny on account of the Bechuaualand
and Soudan expeditions. In both of these
years, however, the income tax stood al
five pence on the pound, instead of at
eight, as at p es mt, the incre ased tax be-
ing the result of the immense additions to
the British army and naval forces. AS f r
the ma ii nal debt, payment on that COLES
sal liability was suspended as war me as
ure by Mr.. Gl ds one in 1885. Again in 1894
an attempt was made to increase tne reve-
nue. by an additional AK on spirits. The
only result was the entire disorganization
of the liquor trade and little if any di-
ton was made to the revenue for the Pc
riod during which the increase was in ex-
istence. Marshall Lord.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble Before They Suspect It.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerfulness gradually disap-
pear, when the kidneys are out of order
Kidney trouble has become so prevalen
that it is not uncommon for child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys.
Pains, ache and rheumatism come from
excess of uric acid in the blood due to neg
lected kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble often causes quick or
unsteady heart-beats and makes one feel
as though they had heart trouble, because
the heart is overworked, in pumping
thick, kidney-poisoned blood through the
veins and arteries.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trouble,
followed by suffering so painful to many
that life is made miserable.
The bladder is situated in front of and
very close TO the womb and for that rea-
son any pain, distress, disease or fnconven-
ience manifested in the kidneys, back, ,blad-
der or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily avoided
by paying little attention to the condi-
tion of the urine.
Fill bottle or common glass with your
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys; If it
stains the linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or

THE LADY,s PRIVATE MIXTURE.
Even the Maid Is Not Permitted to
KNOW the Secret Compound.

Even the Maid Is Not Permitted to
KNOW the Secret Compound.
New York, Dec. 1.-Perfumes are extrav-
agantly fashionable once more. Not only
do women distribute sachets through the
contents of their wardrobes, moisten their
bandkerchiefs with essences and sleep on
delIceteIy oderous pillows, but the tinted
rice powders sold at toilet counters are all
impregnated with charming perfume
nat transmits to the skin a fragrance
rare as that of June roses.
According to the new and fashionable
ethics of the toilet, the lady of quality
who feels a true artistic interest in scents
abiures all save perhaps the Russian vio-
let and gives a great deal of scientific at
tention to what she calls her private mix
ture. This is any concentrated essence
she prefers modified with some precious
oil extracted from a spice or bean, and
che whole diluted with alcohol or fixed
with the strong and sure ess-bouquet. All
the compounding is done in the privacy of
her own room and not even her maid SER
want Is trusted with the names or the
proportions of the extracts used in the
mixture.
Usually however, purest alcohol or No.
and to this the majority of fashionable
lovers of sweet savors add little chypre
that is usurping rapidly the popularity
of violet perfumes; another exceedingly
modish combination is wild cherry with
heliotrope, modified TO the most elusive deli
cacy with alcohol, and where two to five
dollars used TO be paid cheerfully for a
couple of thimb.esful of the "Archduchess
Olga" and queen of violets," those two
most costly extracts sent from Paris, the
big prices are now spent on London nov

nese oil of mstaria.

they do not propose to be over hasty in
their anxiety to pay for this war. Parlia-

present at any rate-and the Chancellor
OF the Exchequer has told where that
money Is to come from; about paying it
hack again there is no hurry, and unless
funds should run out before Parliament
reassembles in the natural course in April
the question of payment will not be con-

of the Chancellor Of the Exehequer, it was
fully justified, for Sir Michael Hicks
Beach as a plan.
To begin with, an unusually prosperous
season helped him. In estimating at the
beginning OF the fsca, year on the prob
able receipts and disbursements Of the
government during its course. the chan
cellor chose not to err on the side OF op-
timism-consequently his balance sheet
shows a surplus OF $l5000,0O which can
Immediately be utilized for war purposes
As for the balance OF S35 600 900 stlu TO be
reclaimed, Sir Michael viii depend on the
issuance of treasury bills TO the extent Of
Si0C00000-thus setting his figures 5000 600
ahead Of actual requirements 70 allow for
m'scalcu.atons. He has no idea how
ever, OF placing so large an amount Of
treasury bills on the market at once but
viii issue them only as occasion de-
mands. Considerable sums have also been
promised him by the commissioners for
