| The wise men of the East have an
other opportunity to learn from the wise
men of the West. Testing butter and
limitations of butter by photography is a

margarine is generally detected without
much difficulty, but even the chemist
with his liquids, his test-tubes and his
minute apparatus has found it difficult
to draw the line between creamery and
renovated butter, and has found it more
difficult to convince a jury with his
chemical formulate. With photography,
however, the State chemist says that he
can show the difference between butter
and pseudo butter to even an inexperi-
enced eye. "The simple fact to be con-
rsidered, he says, "is that pure butter
as made in the diaries or al the cream
cry contains only anonymous fat. Any
heating process such as is followed in
renovation and running in of milk i'm
mediately generates fat crystals. In
the oleomargarine the crystals from the
meat fat added to cottonseed oil are
very thick" Light passed through

cent, but when there are crystals in the
substance under test bright and dark
spots will appear, forming a peculiarly

roo MANY PISTOLS HANDY.

When man has pistol handy there
is danger that he may misuse it. This
danger is recognized by Judge Benet Of
South Carolina, who in his address to
the grand jury at Columbia the other
day pointed out that last year two hun
dred and forty-three homicides We're
committed in the State, and as one of
the causes OF this deplorable condition
of things he mentioned the pistol-oar-
rying habit. Our young men and boys,
he said, black and white, rich and poor,
seem to think that their outfit is not
complete without pistol Some of our
older men show a bad example, and
some public officials have on occasions

Japan seems to be as wide-awake al

Japan seems to be as wide-awake as
the new South. A record published in
the New York Commercial Bulletin
shows that five years ago there were
only forty-five cotton mills in Japan,
usipg 476,123 pounds of raw cotton;
while now there are seventy-two mills,
consuming 339, 756,56O pounds of cotton.
In eight years, to carry the comparison
farther back, the average weekly con-
sumption of the fibre has risen from
1911 bales to 1907 bales. But contem-
poraneously with this increase of con-
sumption the yield of homegrown cot
ton In Japan has steadily declined. More
than four-ffths of the amount required
is now purchased abroad.

In Boston Mrs Cole claimed that the
law restricting to 100 feet the height of
building upon her lot was an injury
to the extent of between $1,000 and
$25, 900 because of the three stories she
was prevented from building and rent
ing. The defendant, the city Of Bos-
ton, claimed, on the other hand, that
the cost Of making the changes in
building these three stories, taking
into account conditions governing this
particular lot, would more than offset
the additional rental, and that the prop
erty was actually benefited by the re-
striction of the law rather than injured.
This was the view the jury took, finding
q verdict for tho city of Boston.

TIMBER REGULATIONS.

The attempt of the government to
methods of mbering in order to pre-
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many inter-
esting legal questions, and the divis-
ion of forestry has found it necessary
direction.
AS the result, q circular dealing
with the laws which affect forests lie
in course of preparation and will be
sent free to persons interested. One
of the most important points brought
out Is the recognition by law OF the
prospective value of growing tim Der.
The possibility of profitsbly car
ryine on numbering with system
attic provision for future cutting
depends upon this point. 1t has usual
ly been held that when, by trespass, or
by interruptions cutting by contractors.
tim Der has been removed contrary to
the owners wish, he could recover
only its stumpage value. AS forestry
usually requires that certain number
of trees of certain size be left, it fol-
lows that an INSCRIPTIONS contractor
could easily upset the plans Of years
with little fear of punishment.
The supreme court, however, has
recently ruled that the difference
in value between logged ana unlogged
land depends not only on the value of
the timber removed, but on its prob
eble increase had it been left untouch
ed.
The matter is of much interest and
not little Importance to New Mexico
and other sections of the south invest.

"TIEN-TSIN Electric Railway Com
pany" will soon decorate the sides of a
number of street rail ay cars being

Moller, formerly interested in q cable
line in Sioux City, has returned to
America for the purpose of getting the
equipment for an electric railway to
connect the foreign quarter of Tien
Tsin, China. with the native walled
city of one million Inhabitants. Eng
lish and Japanese capitalists have Sc
cured the franchise, which is the first
for an electric railway in the fowery
kingdom. The railway will be three
miles in length, and the street along
which it will run is one of the most
densely populated in the world. The
Chinese, Mr.. Moller says, have no OBJ
lection to electric railways. China
appears to be getting as wideawake as

therefore, will be entirely controlled
by local sentiment.
The chairman of the committee on
taxation of a New York association
which is urging the measure says that
under the proposed new law the large
cities of the state will be required to
pay slightly more state tax than they
do now, but they can well afford to do

The republican convention of 1896
opened in ST. Louis on June 16, while
the democratic national gathering be-
gan in Chicago or June7. This year
the republicans will meet in Philadel-
phia ON June 10, and the democrats
will convene in Kansas City on July f.
the republicans coming together three
days later in the year than they did
four years ago and the democrats three
days earlier than they did then. AS it
is practically certain that Mr.. McKin-
ley will be the standard bearer of the
republican party and Mr.. Bryan the
leader of the democratic hosts the
gatherings will not be invested this
year with the interest which those of
four years ago had. A new issue will
be before the conventions of 1900, that
OF national expansion, and this fact
will give some interest to the gather
tngs, but it will not call out anything
like the concern which was felt re-
esrding the silver declaration of both
these parties in 1896.

NEW METHOD OF TAXATION.

Although the Texas tax bill has
been shelved for the present the
question of taxation in Texas cannot
be shelved. 1t must be considered from
every standpoint and a bill must
be devised which will be satisfactory
to the people OF the state.
OF interest at this hour Ia a bill
introduced in the New York legisla-
ture which provides for the apportion-
process, which it is claimed promotes
economy and Furnishes extravaganza
By the terms of the bill in question the
state tax is apportioned to the several
counties in the proportion that the
total taxes, laid in each county, ex-
cept state and school taxes, bear to the
gross amount of such taxes laid in all
the counties during the preceding
year.
A duplicate of every tax roll must be
sent to the state board of tax commits
sioners, and this board, with the COM
missioners of the land Office, which
now constitute the board of equsliza-
ton, are required to compute the tax
to be paid by each county. They have
NO discretion in the matter, but must
certify the amount to the compt roller
in accordance with the facts ascer-
tanned from the assessment rolls.
That they may be certain to receive
all assessment rolls, the bill provides
that no warrant for the collection of
taxes shall be valid unless a receipt
for the assessment roll is annexed
thereto, sis ned by the secretary OF the
state board of tax commissioners. The
supervisors of each county and the
board of estimate and apportionment
of the city of New York may deter
mine the class or classes of property
which shall be taxed therein, provided
there is no discrimination.
It is claimed that this method of
raising state revenue has the merit OF
doing away entirely with the friction
of equalization, it leaves all property
now taxable to be taxed locally, and it
not only encourages, but almost forces
economy in every tax district in the
state. Ifa county is economical it
pays less state tax and if it is extrava-
CANT the county will pay more, and
every taxpayer will know juet how
much more.
The real estate owners of New York
believe that tax on mortgages is az
increased burden upon them and the
same belief obtains in other parts OF
the state. This bill permits
the exemption of mortgages in any
county that wishes to exempt them,
