Children or Taxes.

If you live in Madagascar you must
have children, or else pay tax to the
authorities. This is the latest decree
issued by the government of Madagas.
car. For some time the population
of that island has been decreasing.
The government authorities sat in
council short time ago and decided
upon a tax to be levied, upon every
man who, at the age of twenty-five, ia
unmarried, aud upon every married
man who, at that age, has no children.
The tax is $3.7 year. Every girl
must pay tax of 81. so year as long
as she remains single after she passes
her twenty-fourth year, and every
married woman does the same until
she has children as the result Of her
marriage.

1t is little over year since Phila
delphia transferred to the United Gas
Improvement company, under a 30
years lease, the franchise of the gas
company, and reports recently made
mark sharply the difference between
political control and business manage
ment. The city now has revenue OF
10 per cent. on an increased quantity
OF gas sold at 81 per thousand, where
as it was formerly unable to make
both ends meet at higher rate. Con.
sumers are supplied with better gas,
and the worn-out gas mains have been
replaced with new ones, to the COM
fort of citizens whose noses had
been assailed with the odor of escap.

So, 112, S29 has been expended within
the year, although the lease only re.
quires the expenditure OF $4,000, 900
in this way during the first three years,
and of 80, 900, 90 thereafter. All these
improvements, it should be noted,
will ultimately revert to the benefit OF
the city, as at the end of the 80 years
the gas-works must be returned to the
city without the expenditure of dol
lar OF public money on the improve.

More evidence of the use Of boraciC
acid as meat preservative comes from
Philadelphia. A soap-maker in that
city, who purchases the excess fat
from the market stalls, says that about
five years ago he noticed that some.
thing in connection with the tallow
was preventing its union with the I've
In the soap making process. He con.
cluded that there was an acid Of some
kind in the tallow, and on making
that statement to the firm that sup.
Piled the tallow it was admitted that
the meat men were using a wash for
the meat, and that it was boracic acid.
. He asked if the fluid was injected in
the meat, and was told that it was
used only on the surface before the
meat was put into the ice chest. The
soap manufacturer adds that he has
often since that time noticed in butch
er shops that meat that had been un.
deniably washed with q preserving
liquid or powder was avoided by the
flies, while they would swarm on I'M

Apropos Of the phenomenon OF
sleep, printer in newspaper Office
In Bangor, Me-, thought that he had
solved it. He might have succeeded
had not nature called him to account
Tor his trifling. His scheme was sim
pie and plausible. He did not be-
lieve that slumber had any effect on the
muscles; they need simply rest or
change in the character of exercise. As
to the brain, that could be rested in
the same way. He dropped off few
minutes from his sleep every day. In
the course of month he had re.
duced his ordinary time of slumber of
eight hours to five. At length he
reached the supreme moment when he
was to pass his first sleepless consecu-
tive twenty-four hours. As has been
said, he was u printer, a compositor.
He needed certain font of type that
was kept in a dark corner of the
room. He climbed up on the stool.
Three hours later they missed him. A
search revealed him sitting on the
stool fast asleep. He was taken home
and he slept for long periods through
out week. SO far he has not found
his experiment profitable. This is q
good illustration of all the attributes
OF nature. Poor humanity cannot ig-
more her laws without stern admon-
ishment.

The electric light men is fixing to
turn on a flood of light, on the
north side of the block between
State Line and Vine street. We
learn that the block between
Elm and Vine will next be Canyassed
and incandescent lights will be
strung along this block on both
sides. What our city most needs is
lights in the residence portion of the
city and we should get some scheme
to have the city lighted.

example set our sons, which will get
them into trouble, as well as our
