A PLACE. FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERY
THING IN IT'S PLACE.
there, oftentimes all sizes in the same
box, just because there was mother place
for them. The bother and loss of time
were great, as I had to open sometimes
nearly dozen boxes to find the thing l
wanted. Thus necessity became the
mother of invention, and the result was
a s'case'' in which there is place for
everything, as shown in the cut.
The drawers are made Of small, light
boxes (Which can be had at the grocery
stores sawed to the right size, and then
mailing a side, bottom or end to them as
required. The lower ones are shallow
for nails, ETC., two or three inches deep:
those intended for more bulky articles,
as bolts, ETC., deeper. For knobs, take
common sewing thread spools and saw
them in two. The half of one spool,
with wood screw through the hole OF
it and into the drawer, makes the knob.
For convenience, drawers for screws,
rivets, small nails, tacks. etc., are parti-
toned into two, three or four parts, and
can also be taken out and carried to
where wanted. A sample of the article
or articles (size and kind) in each drawer
is fastened on the outside of it by a
double pointed carpet tack, and when
ANYTHING is wanted, from a quarter inch
tack to half inch bolt it is a pleasure
and satisfaction to be able to put your
hand on it In moment.

REVENUE REDUCTION.
Senate Finance Committee Is Work.
ing the Proposed Revision
Of War Tax Measure.

Washington, Jan. FL. = The senate
committee on finance was in session the
greater part of Sunday, making an eff
fort to complete consideration of the
war revenue reduction bill in order to
be able to present it's report to-day. 1t
did not succeed, but the work was so
nearly completed that it is believed one
or two more meetings will suffice for
that purpose. There are still many
items of the bill which have not been
finally passed upon, but all of them
have been SO completely canNassed that
there will not be great difficulty in
reaching a conclusion. The committee
is still withholding official announce
ment of it's proceedings from the pub
lie, but some facts concerning it's con-
illusions are known. 1t is not proba bic
that there will be a very much greater
total reduction than was made by the
bill as it passed the house, but the re-
duction will be differently distributed.
The most important conclusion
reached is to reduce from IL to nine
cents the tax on tobacco. There is
also to be a reduction of the tax on
cigars and snuff The housce left all
these items untouched. The senate
committees decision as to those ar
ticles will reduce the revenue re-
ceipts about $1O.OOO.0OO. This reduc-
ton will be made up by declining to
accept all the house reductions Con-
sequently many of the articles from
which the house took off all the tax
lNo Io1f - 70
by the senate committee. 1t is prob
able that on proprietary articles, the
formula of which is pubic, the tax
will be entirely removed, while upon
those the formula of which is secret
it will be retained entirely. The tax
on steamship tickets will be reduced.
Inc tax en- steerage tickets may be
removed entirely. The tax on stock
transfers probably will be continued
on the par value of the shares, as at
present, but this matter has not been
definitely passed upon. The members
of the committee express the opin-
ion that to place the tax upon the
selling value of stocks woulu be an
invitation to fraud. The beer tax has
been discussed at considera BILE length.
but no absolute decision has been
reached. The present tendency is to
leave the rate as fixed by the house.
The tax on kilograms also remains
undecided. Some OF the members of
the committee have made an effort to
have the law amended so as to reduce
the tax to half cent per message.
but to make the telegraph companies
pay it. This proposition has not been
accepted in its entirety, but the re-
duction seems probable. The form of
the bill viii be altered materially.

The census of 1900 shows that only
two classes of American cities have
made especial progress-those on the
inland lakes and those possessin G
great and diversified manufacturing
enterprises. The river cities are grow
ing more slowly; the coast cities
south of Norfolk are making little
progress; but between that point and
Portland, Me-, they are attracting
large populations. The railroad cit
les, especially those CT comparatively
high attitudes, are also making con-
siderable progress.
