Maine corporation lawyers are deeply
interested. though they may not be
saying much. about the proposition to
increase the tax on corporations at the
rext session of the Legislature. A
well-known lawyer says:
II do not think that the next Legis-
lature will see tit to make any change
in the law. The present law was care
fully canvassed before it was passed
and was honestly believed TO be
equitable. The attorneys doing cor
roration business Were consulted ana
they agreed that il was just to impose
franchise tax on corporations They
said that it would not be well to i'm
pose tax so great that corporation
business would be driven away from,
the state and on the other hand they
said that il would not be well to make
the tax so low that future Legislatures
would feel called upon to raise the tax.
They felt that while the corporation
would not object to the proposed tax
If later Legislature should jack ur
the screws. the corporations would
say: Here, you have inveigled us il
here under false preterces. You havi
said that the tax in your State was SC

the inquirer is referred to West Vir-

raised its franchise tax and the result
has been that quite a number of cor
porations have allowed their charters
to lapse in West Virginia and have
come to Maine to be re-ircorporated. T
have within the past few days or

which were driven out of West Vir-
ginia by the increase in tax.

John Ru.kin and Newman Hall.

While his church was building Mr..

with Mr.. John Ruskin. He went and
asked the seer's advice as to how 10
erect church which should not only
be commodious, but beautiful; not only
sheltering from rain and sun, but In
spring happy thoughts and holy emo
lions.
He replied-as he had already writ
tcn-"that we should not build up
stones. but gather together few peo-
pie who would not steal or tell ties"
Il said" writes the pastor, that we
had many hundreds OF such and needed
building where under shelter they
might worship and be taught. He re-
peated his opinion, and | said had
made mistake in troubling him, as !
thought | was speaking TO the author

Ruskln made the singular reply:

does something in teaching men passes

What's Your Name.

When a boy, the great French au-
thor Alphonse Daudet was very poor,
but he was allowed to attend, without
paying any fees, school in which the
majority of the pupils were the sons
of rich men. His appearance ut the
school, dressed in blouse, which only
the very poor WORE was the occasion
of many taunts and jeers from his
schoolfellows, and even the master
never called him by his name, but adj
dressed him as whats your name"
But the boy never needed the i'll will
or the sneers. He determined that he
would make something of himself, say
ing, IF | am to take any position in
this school, l must work twice as hard
as the Others" By steadfast persistent
cy and courageous determination he
did succeed, and when his name had
become famous he wrote n story in
memory of those days of hardship and
poverty and called it Little What's
His-Name."

Travels of an Iceberg.

From the regions around the north
and south poles there are perpetually
starting on journeys, which may be
long or short according to the currents
of the ocean, great number of ice
bergs. Many of these ice hills are of
large size and wander far before they
are at last melted by the heat of the
tropical seas into which they have been
carried. Bergs setting out from Baffin
bay, up Greenland way, have travelled
as far as the Azores before Vanishing
forever-that is to say, some $500 miles
or even more Sometimes they are Il
source of serious danger to the grey
hounds of the Atlantic and other YES
sells because they cross the track of
many of these steamers. 1t is no joke
TO run into a berg at dead of night, and
close watch has constantly to be kept
at certain seasons. Bergs setting out
from near the south pole have occa-
sionally reached close to the cape of
Good Hope ere disappearing, journey
almost as long as that undertaken by
some of their northern relatives.
