Some Disputed Points Made Clear by
Revenue Commissioner.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. at Washington, ID. c., has issued
general instructions to collectors in re-
lation to the tax on legacies under
section 3 of the act of June 9th, 1902.
Under the commissioner instructions
"Reminiscences and revisionary in
terests which did not absolutely vest in
provision orenjoyment before July LIST,
1902, are not subject to tax under this
act,
Where the decedent died prior to
July lst, 1902, and the distributive
shares or legacies absolutely bequeathed
we're not distributed to the benefi-
Charles on or before July LIST, on ao-
count of time allowed by State laws
to settle the estate and distribute the
personal property, or on account of
litigation, such legacies and distribu-
tive shares are subject to tax. Where
the decedent died prior to July LIST,
1902, and the property was left in trust
by tine will, but had not been turned
over to the trustee before July LIST,
1902, legacy tax will not accrue. In
case the personality was turned over to
the trustee before that date, it is held
that said personality is absolutely
vested in possession or enjoyment of
the beneficiary within the meaning of
the statute.

Features Appear in Rocky Wall on the
Boston Posi- Road.
New YORK Tribune.
Where the old Boston post road turns
toward Orienta Point, Just south of
Mamaroneck, the rock adjoining the
old Disbrow House was blasted away
about Is years ago to improve the
grade. A ragged, rocky wall was left,
and nothing peculiar WAS noticed in 10
until last August, when the wife of
we'll known resident ON the point,
while driving to the village, suddenly
saw the features of Washington in the
stone. She looked again and again, and
the more carefully she scrutinized the
rock the more distinctly she saw the
features of the Father Of his Country.
Tha woman told her friends of her
discovery, and they told others, and
within month all Orienta Point and
most Of Mamaroneck hid gazed upon
the striking accidental likeness. 1t is
not at all difficult TO see when one is
told it may be found there, and is in
plain view for a distance of nearly a
hundred yards to within fourth as
many feet. The image is about six
feet the longest way and about four
the other why across.
The eyes, nose and mouth are nat
urally darker spots in the stone, which,
being apparently softer than the re-
mainder of the mass, broke out to a
greater depth, so the image is there
in bas-relief as we'll as in color. The
outline of the face is almost perfectly
formed by the edges of the broken
rock. The image Is best lighted from
IL O'Clock until r. 80 on sunny days.

statements were without any basis.
s,, When n r., the pennsylyanis rsilroad gave

Philadelphia, Wilmington a Baltimore, -
he said. But the difference Ia that the
contract for the right of way along the
Pennsyivania line was much more loosely
drawn and gave 10 the railroad company
much greater liberty in saying when the
contract should terminate. With the right
Of way on the Philadelphia, Wilmington 4
baltimore, however, the contract was
much more rigid one. and gives TO the
Western Union the absolute right to CON

Of npy kind until June LIST, 1903. Until that
time the Pennsylvanin can do nothing In

1t was said that all the Pennsylvania Rail-

by the Postal wherever possible. So far as
10 known the Western Union has made no

Clayton, Miss, July l7.--wiliiam
0dy, negro, last night assaulted Miss
Virginia Tucker of this place, and was
burned at the stake at midnight.
The assault was most brutal. The
young woman was riding in the country
fshen she was attacked, and was SO
violently pulled from the carriage that
both of her legs were broken. The
scene of the assault was lonely spot
on o road. Ody hailed Miss Tucker
with tho information that she had
dropped package. She stopped the
horse, and the negro, approached as il
70 pick up the supposed package. He
seized the woman's wrists, and dragged
her violently from the vehicle. Miss
Tucker screamed, and was found a few
minutes later by doctor, who was
driving nearby. She is now said to be
1t the point Of death.
After Ody's capture by posse, q
mob quickly formed and took charge
Of the prisoner He was taken before
Miss Tucker, who positively identified
him, although he asserted his inno-
eence. Ody was taken TO spot in the
country near the scene Of the assault,
and u bonfire was built about tree.
He was told to prepare for death. When
she manner OF his execution became
apparent, he begged piteously for
mercy. He was securely bound, oil was
poured over his clothing, and in a
short period only his charred bones
marked the spot Of execution.

THE MALARIA Parasite
1t Has Eight Generations and Most Shock
ing Names,

ing Names.
In a paper read before the Royal
Society and published in the British
Medical journal Prof. Ray Lancaster
suggests a set of scientific names for
the malaria parasite. That complete
set is necessary is proved by the fact
that the creature is, SO to speak, eight
different animals in succession before
a generation arises which, like its
ancestor, is able to infect humanity
with malaria. Here is a free rendering
of the genealogy:
First there are little needIe-shaped
organisms which pass into the human
system through the proboscis Of a
mosquito. Each of these needles makes
for red corpuscle and gets inside.
Then it passes, says the London Tele-
graph. into its second phase and be-
comes more or less shapeless mass,
which grows within its red corpuscls
until the dwelling is destroyed and tine
inhabitant breaks up into crowd OF
spores, and so changes into "numher
three. :" These spores enter into fresh
red corpuscles, changing, as the others
did, on taking up residence, and break
ing up like them after a period of
growth. This is repeated for several
generations until the occupant of the
red corpuscles from some unknown
cause develops on new line and
assumes a crescent shape. In this
fourth phase it hoats-male and female
for the first me-through the blood.
to be swallowed by tho malarial
mosquito that preys on man.
Having duly passed into the insect,
the sexes become spherical as fifth
stage, but their children, in the sixth
transformation, are pear-shaped and
grow larger than any of their ancestors
or descendants. This creature pushes
its way through the wall Of the
mosquitoes stomach and changes into
No. Z, a steadily growing ball, which
eventually increases to 20 times its
original diameter. This ball becomes
more and more complex. Within it an.
pears colony of cells packed closely
together the eighth metamorphosis--
and in time these pour forth crop of
the needle-like organisms with which
we started. They find their way into
the blood of the mosquito, thence into
the fluid which the insect apparently
pours into the wound it makes in its
human victim, and SO start once moro
on their marvellous round. To the I'M
scientific mind the one CLEAN of salts
faction in the story is that the mosquito
must suffer as much as the man during
the career of the parasite. For those
who are interested in scientific nomen-
clature, Prof. Ray Lankester's names
may be given. They are for the re-
spective stages: a Exotosphorc, ~

An opticlan Claims They Are Very Bene-
hcial to the Eyes.
New Orleans Times Democrat

uCiAt TO the f.yeS.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
Speaking of the practice of wear
ing glasses, - said q we'll known
curious thing about the human eye
that the average person is constantly
overlooking. We talk az great deal
about the influence of color, about
glare, and all that sort of thing, I'm
questionably color has a great deal to
do with the weakness of the human
eye at this time. Glare figures as an
important factor in the impairment of
the human sight. In the matter Of
color there is SO much rioting in these
latter days that tho eye is kept in an
almost constant strain. Red is violently
red, green is violently green, and so
on, until the eye is simply strained
beyond the normal in an effort to
visualize the hue, and the optic nerves
are in measure strained and injured.
But this is not the greatest danger
when we come to think of modern
tendencies so far as the human eye is
concerned. There are other conditions
which are infinitely more injurious
than the matter of color. The glare is
bad enough, too. The electric and in
candescent lights are simply fearful on
ones sight. But the thing / quarrel
with, more than with any other in
fiuence, is the condition which limits
the scope of ones vision.
The eye should have broad range.
One should have the opportunity of
seeing a long distance. We are denied
this opportunity. We are hemmed and
hedged in until the distance we are
capable of seeing is very short indeed.
This is why l am strong advocate of
parks of promenades. Green is naturally
a restful color and if the city could be
provided with long avenues aud SPLEEN
did parks where ones eyes could stretch
out In a long vista, it would be great
thing When we come to think of the
thing seriously the benefit to the
human eye alone would amply justify
the, city in building roadways and
parks and things of thzt sort to rest
the human eye.
The human eye needs rest. 1t may
hurt my business, the business of the
opticlan, but it is a good thing. High
buildings and loud colors and the glare
OF many lights are conditions which
simply force majority of mankind to
resort to artificial means of seeing, and
these conditions are rapidly producing
a race of spectacle wearers. The CON
ditions are bad. They should be cor
rected. Or at least the bad influences
should be minimized so that the injury
would not be SO great as it is. The eye
should be given sufficient scope. 1t
should be given that range which would
cultivate the,finer qualities of this, the
finest and most perfect of all human
organs. That's why I'm in favor OF
parks and roadways and all that sort
of thing

LoHE MUCH.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it..
Cast sweets into its cup Whenever you can.
No heart SO hard but love at last may win it.
Love is the grand primeyal gift of man,
All hate is foreign to the first great plan.
Love much. Your heart will be led out to
slaughter
On altars built by envy and deceit.
Love on, love on; tits bread upon the water.
It shall be cast in loaves yet at your feet,
Unleayened mamma most divinely sweet.
Love much. Mems souls contract with cold
suspicion;
Shine on them with warm love and they
expand.
TITS love, not creeds, that from low con-
dition
Leads mankind up to heights supreme and
grand.
Oh, that tbs world could see and understand
