MORE TAXES TO BE ADDED.
How the Policy OF Expansion WORKS
in Some or the European
Countries.

The French cabinet Is celebrating q
scheme of progressive income taxation.
1t is designed to raise II, 600. 900 francs
q year, and it will apply especially to
the weather. classes who manifest
their means in living and pleasure ex-
penditure. The rental value OF the hab-
,itation will be used primarily to cal
culate the income of the occupant, and
this calculated income is increased So
much by each servant employed, car
rage owned or employed and other evi-
sdences of income. such as yachts, dogs.
motorcycles and the like. Additions to
taxable income from these evidences
of wealth vary oceording to place.
Thus, the employment of a female serY-
ant adds 500 francs to the taxable in
come of a person in Paris, 7o0 francs
in the larger cities outside Of Paris,
and SO on down to 400 francs for tns
country villages.
The enormous demands upon the ex-
chequer incident to the maintenance of
the military and naval might Oft the ma
ton necessitate radical measures Of
public revenue, and wealth must ac-
cordingly be placed under special con-
tribution. Great Britain 'slimperial poll
icy has forced upon the wealth OF thas
nation the most radical system Of grad
uated income and probate taxes exist
ing anywhere outside Of Switzerland
and New Zealand, and 1t Is only qucs-
ton Of brief time at the present rate
OF imperial progress and navy and
army expansion when the burden must
be increased per capita or per unit Of
wealth France is now to follow suit
and all over Europe wealth will Re
made more and more to contribute to
the support OF the luxury Of coloniai
and military expansdon--not SO much
because of the justice of this course.
but because of the poverty of. the
masses and their infammatory state
of mind.
There is no large nation in.the world
| to-day where wealth Is relatively 80
lightly taxed as in the United States.
Bu. with the entrance OF the nation
into the arena Of the worid-grabbing
and military powers all this must
change. Wealth will be made to foot
the bill. Nothing can be more certain,
unless we are to suppose that the md :
die and lower classes of people In the
United States possess less Of the spirit
and strength Of resistance to the en-
croachments OF privilege and power
than the crushed and broken masses

HERE AND THERE.

1T is not only cruel, but absolute
ly silly to beat horse for becoming
frightened. All such horsemen should
sell out and take it a-foot.
8 Grazing is notintensive cultivation.
The same land cropped with hay, and
the crop carefully fed, will support
more stock than If pastured.
It is idle to work for nothing when
IL can be avoided. Perhaps you have
been wintering stock not good enough
to pay for the feed and care You have
given them.
"A long step toward doing away
with swine diseases will have been
taken when we get rid of the idea that
hogs are naturally filthy animals and
that filth is good for them.
Farm lands are depreciating all
over the north and east, and this slump
is creeping slowly but surely towards
the south. When all farm products,
and all labor products depreciate, the
lands must follow the procession.
Expert veterinarians have deter
mined that defective teeth often cause
lameness in horses. This may appear
a little strange yet there are other
facts stranger still until they are thor
ouehly understood, when all strange
ness disappears.
Improved stock of all kinds is bet
ter both to breed and to feed. Such
swine are powerful factor in market,
ing our big corn crops. Cheap as hogs
sometimes are, it pays better TO feed
off the corn and other stuff which car
be utilized than to sell the feed. Nc
question about this.

ACTS OF HERolsM.
often Performed by Those OF Humble
Birth.
ETo BE coNT1NuED.l

often Performed by Those OF Humble
Birth.
Acts of heroism were not wanted in
the horrors of the fire in the charity
bazaar in Paris. While the flame was
sweeping through the mass OF delicate,
lightly-clad women, and the burning
tar was raining down on them, there
were men and women who remained
calm, thinking of others instead OF.
themselves.
A window was opened in the wall.
The wife of the academician, Heredia,
saw it and urged her daughter toward
it. The girl pushed her mother for
ward. An old woman of the poorer
class, named surrault, had reached the
chair Il Il 41tseffefe Ahe window She drew
back and forced them to escape in her
place. She was carried out later cruel
ly burned, and when asked why she
gave up her chance said:
"They loved each other so much! |
could not see them die.
One royal princess was present,
Duehesse d'Alencon. She was the. chief
patroness of the charity, and when
they would have carried her out of the
flames. she drew behind a stall. say
ing:
6 "Our guests must go first.' She
perished iii the flames. None of her
ancestors ever faced death more roy
ally.
Among those who carried out the
burning victims at the l5 OF their
own lives were two scullions fom the
hotel, poor cab-driver, a plumber and
a street-sweeper. These men worked
encircled by sweeping rings Of fire and
covered with frightful burns.
We very naturally explain the her
oism of the high-born lady by saying
that the feeling that she must be brave
and courteous even in death had come
down to her. through generations OF
chivalrous ancestors. But how did it
come to the scullion and the street
sweeper? What, after all, makes the
hero? Not familiarity with danger,
for Sir Colin Campbell, after years OF
brave fighting, never drew his sword
without losing color.
Most of us would like to stand for
one glorious moment as heroes in the
ewes of a watching world. But no spell
has ever. been found which will COM
mand the moment or the high courage
to meet IT,. There are humber vir-
tues which we can master, and oppor-
tunities for them are always ready.
After all, little candle burning
every night through the slowly passing
years makes as much light in the house
as lightning flash once Ia life
time. Youths Companion.

needed next spring they win be handy
to find: but I never could make my
self believe that this was either econo.
my or wisdom. Rust eats iron and
steel. Wind, frost, snow and rain
surely rot wood These all working
together shorten the life of tools fifty
per cent. or more.
Take half an hour TO wipe the pIow
carefully. It will 'sturn" enough bet
ter next spring to pay. Then put it
and all other tools away under cover
somewhere. If you have to buy a few
hundred feet Of boards, all right. You
can afford to do it rather than allow
these valuable implements to go to de-
struction. "Wi1ful waste brings woe
full want"
Do you burn wood? do, and I get
at the business OF getting it out early,
before the snow comes too deep in the
woods. i cut the logs into draughts
and skid them out when the ground is
frozen and a little snow on the earth.
IF there is anything that stirs my
heart it is to see woman out digging
wood out of the snow when the mer-
curry is shivering around zero. The
man that will allow his wife to do that
ought to be arrested for cruelty 1t is
just as easy to fill the woodshed year
beforehand as to wait until the last
stick is in the stove. Seasoned wood
makes the housewife happy. Nothing
tries her temper more than green
wood. .-E. i. Vincent, in Epitomist.
Improbable Farming.
It seems to me some farmers are
very hard to awaken to new and better
methods. One farmer will be short OF
corn and will half starve his hogs to
save little feed, and will have a lot
of pot-bellied hogs or pigs, as the case
may be. How much better it would be
| to keep fewer and feed them better,
or else buy more feed and keep stock
in thrifty condition. What pig ever
made a man any money after it be-
| came stunted and pot-be1lied? This
same farmer will undertake to run q
dairy and will overstock his pastures.
his cows soon begin to fail in their
! milk, but this man says he can not af-
ford to feed yet; he does not considez
| that extra feed will increase the flow
of milk an6. more than pay for the ex'
ira food Consumed. He will carelessIy
let them starve along and ruin their
milking qualities just to save a little
feed. Any intelligent farmer knows
the above method will not pay. The
cow is ever ready to respond to good
/ food and kind attention. This mar
does not plow his corn for weeks after
a big rain, for he says he doesn't SEE
low it will do any good, as the land il
clean and the corn too small to lay by
He doesn't seem to be aware of the
ruinous loss of moisture, He is tot

crops secured. In q few days snow
will be flying, and cold fingers and
unpleasant feelings will be the lot of

On tho Small Farm.

On the small farm avenues are open
to the owner which are practically
closed to the large farmer. He is not
crowded with work, he can look more
into the details of his business, can
pay more attention to the marketing
of his produce, and, in short, can
farm more closely in may ways. He
can feed all he raises; in selling, he
comes in closer contact with the con-
sumer, and he can afford to look after
the little odds and ends which are so
often wasted. Farmers Home Jour
