sense and worse In another. We hope to
be able to issue a more favorable bulle-
tin in the morning."
On being asked as to what he meant by
this Dr. Durham said that he could not
explain, but physicians would understand,
Il is taken to mean that Mr.. Kipling
has not yet passed through the crisis of
the disease, but that probably the crisis
will be reached before the next bulletin
Is issued.
New York, Feb. 2S.-The following bull
letin was issued at 11hO o'clock tonight:
"Mr. Kipling has on the whole not gain
ed during the day, though the respiratory
functions have so far improved that the
use Of oxygen is no longer necessary. The

fore and after the issue OF this bulletin
that hopes have been renewed for Mr..
Kipllng's recovery.
The statement that 1.-THE respiratory

"Mrs. E7erton's dream was warn

"But stay" I argued. "Did she profit
by the warning? She persuaded her
husband to stay at home. Now, if be

the contrary, it very nearly drowned

Dreams go by contraries, - I remark
ed. "Still, these are a very remarkable
pair Of condolences. -
Here's my view,' said Sir Alan.
"Eat light suppsrs, go to bed health
lily tired, and you won's dream at all.
Or, if you must, forget all about it as
soon as possible. You can torture a
warning out of almost anything and
make yozeself wretcbed trying to find
out where the hidden danger is and very
likely rush right into it, as Everton did,
trying to avoid it. Half the time dreams
do 90 by contraries, and it's dangerous
meddling with what we don't under
stand.''
And by the time the spirit case had
completed it's next round We all agreed
with Sir Alan.

THE LEGACY TAN
oninion of the Acknowledgement IN
10 Its Application.


The opinion OF the Acknowledgement
on the legacy tax has just been published
IN a pamphlet issued by the Treasury De
partment. He says: II Uhe law refers
not 20 the estates Of deceased persons
which may come to the hands Of admin
istrators or executors, but to legacies or
distributive shares arising from personal
property in charge of administrators, eX-
ecut0rs. or trustees The law does not
saw that the estates of testators or in
testates shall pay tax. but that lesacies
or distributive shares arising from per
sonal property. when the whole amount Of
such personal property, as Aforesaid SHAH
exceed the sum OF $4,000 I'm actual value,
are taxable The term "as aforesaid
used I'm this portion Of the law above
quoted cannot refer TO the estate from
which a legacy or distrbltiye share is
derived but il refers 70 the personal pro-
perty constituting the legacy or distribu-
tive share.
81 hold" says the Attorney-General'
that il is the purpose of the law under
consideration not TO levy tax upon the
gross amount of estates in the hands OF
executors. administrators, etc, but 10 taN
such legacies and distributing shares arts
ing from personal propei y as exceed
$1,000 in actual value. The tax IS upor
the legacy or distrlbutive share, not upoi
the estate.
