Fewer Maine towns are fostering in
dustries by exemption from taxation.
The most remarkable case of reduction
of taxation through the expiration of the
period of exemption is found in the town

ried $4OO, 00) worth Of property on which
there was a rebate Of taxes. OF that

TEA In OFFICES.
A New Development mn Outcome OF
Employment of Women stemograph-

Business men are not willing to admit
it, but the fact remains that the en-
ployment OF so many women clerks, cash
iers, stenographers, etc, in offices has
brought about many curious social
changes in the down town district
For instance, one sees fewer masculine
feet hoisted on top Of desks than of old
and hears much less strictly unscripturaI
language. But the most curious develop
ment probably is the conflict between the
tea cup and the glass, with the odds at

brain-worker' tea is a sedative to over
excited nerves. and when the strain Of
the day is over a hot cup isn't half bad.
1t induces a sweet consciousness of inno-
cence and keeps one out OF mischief.
For some time it has been the habit OF
a man at the head of a big newspaper to
have his pot of tea every afternoon at 4
o clock, lie uses a cOQuettishIy pretty
china tea service, brags II of his special
blend OF tea, and one of the Office bows
fe6ches regularly fresh suppy of cream.
The process of brewing this tea is zone
OF great ceremony, and no matter what
happens IS never neglected. The small

1t is rare that a Maine town is so poorly
managed that it gets seriously embar-
raised financially. In town govern
ment there is probably less of that favor
ing Of private interest against the -gener~
al interest than n the governments high
er up. For Instance, it is rare in any
town that an office is created for the sake
Of making place for somebody. That is
not an uncommon occurrence in State
and National affairs, if we may believe
half we hear. But occasionally one of
the prudently managed towns of Maine
gets into trouble as in the case of the
town of Somerville, in Lincoln county,
which has debt Of $31 900 and valua-
tion of only SOL, 1884, The condition of the
town is well-nigh hopeless, and ques-
tionable movement has been started to
get rid Of all over five per cent. of the
debt by setting up the claim that it was
illegally contracted, Such a position,
even if legally tenable, would be unsound
in morals unless it could be shown pretty
clearly that the town had been saddled
with debt through fraud or deception.
We do not imagine that such was the
