Tramp corpornrionr.

A revised corporation law went into
effect In West Virginia few days
ago. That state still hopes to compete
with New Jersey In the business OF
creating large corporations for pur-
poses Of state revenue The new law
places no limit upon the capltaliza-
ton Of a company, but it requires the
payment Of a license fee and an an-
nual tax. each Of which varies from
$40 70 S1.0i0 on corporations ranging
up TO fi.OO0O0O capitalization. with
$50 extra for each added million. The
most undesirable feature OF the law Is
found In the fact that the state does
not hold the corporations IL creates to
account Il creates them and turns
them loose on other states.

Edmund Clarence .yfedman.
Edmund Clarence stedman. whom a
literary paper has pronounced the
3surest and sanest critic Of poetry
now before the public" is indisputa-
bly, the foremost living American poet.
He began his literary career as a re-
porter for the New York Tribune.
He had already obtained his
degree of master from Yale and
Dartmouth. For his elctures during
1892 at Columbia that university CON
ferred upon him its literary doctor
ate, and In the same year he pub
lished his able and analytical work
on The Nature and Elements Of
Poetry" The lectures at Columbia
had been already delivered at Johns
Hopkins as the initial results Of the
Turnbull foundation. Mr.. Stedman's 8
poetry was published at various times
and in various forms between the
years 1860 and 1884 His public IS
not so large in America as it is IN Eng

The widest range in the estimate OF
twenty families was found in the table

to 81 900, two OF three families ef three
persons each reckoned their table ex-
penses at s. a week One family Of
two adults and two children gives s26

table during the year. In other fami-
lies Of the same size and income. table
expenses are computed at from $40 to
$50 a month. There is no other de-
partment Of household expenditure
which requires so much constant care
and good management as the proYid-
ing for the table. In an impromptu
symposium OF a dozen women upon the
subject Of domestic finances, 1t was de-

leaving 81 200 for the total family ex-
penses. An ideal division has been
suggested by Mrs Ellen Richards for
different incomes. On $4,000 a year for
a family Of two adults and two or

lures is as follows: Food. $500;
rent. $500: fuel. wages. etc, $500;

$500 The last head must be UNDER

the same size. the allowance for food
is $500; rent 5000; clothes, $3.50; fuel.

etc, $3.50. Whether rent needs to be
so much as the allowance here made
depends entirely upon the locality. Out

It IS strange that the Babylonians. who,
like the Egyptians. had no deep the
oretical knowledge Of arithmetic and
mensuratlon. should so readily have
made these very practical calculations.
The system by which they dated the
tablets was peculiar. Each year was
called after some important event that
had taken place In IT, But as in time
this system proved cumbrous, Il was
superseded by another. in which the
regnal years OF the king were used.
The second series comprise the oldest
group Of Babylonian letters known.
These tablets were inclosed Ia clay en-
velopes. and addressed by kings to
high officials Both the letters and
envelopes were baked. being prevented

Gov. Brady Of Alaska and other per
sons familiar with the general features
and natural resources OF that north
ern most possession OF the United
States have frequently asserted that its
soil and climate are far more amenahle
to the processes Of a high civilization
than Is generally supposed, and have
predicted that the time would come
when Alaska would be the home OF a
large and prosperous agricultural pop
ulation. Omcial confirmation Of these
views Is furnished in a report Just

States agricultural department. who
has had charge Of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station In Alaska. He thinks
that the territory viii ultimately be
as promising a field for agriculture and
stock raising as It now Is for mining.
The results Of experiments extending
for two years have established beyond

ducts as fax. wheat. oats. rye and bar

profit in almost every part Of Alaska.
