Court Sustained Franchise Tax.

Unpaid taxes amounting to moro than
$4,OOO.OOO In Greater New York are made
payable by the decision OF the Supreme
Court of the United States, upholding the
state tax on corporation franchises. Among
the companies affected and the sums due
from them under the law are the following:
The Manhattan Elevated Railway Company.

1891, PCS, and the New York and Harlem
Railroad Company. $9S4.O The decision
created scarcely a ripple in the stock mar
ket. The New York local traction stocks
themselves moved upward between one and
two points on the demand from uncovered
shorts, but the dealings were very meager,
and the general market showed no appreci-
able price movement.

demand the best thought and the most ear
nest effort of our people in their solution.
1T is only to primitive people that God
gives the spoils of war. When we have
cast off the swaddlng clothes of an infan-
tile civilization and begin to develop some
of the songs of maturer growth He gives us
a share of the problems of our advancing
life.
The soldier does not want to be cursed
because these problems have arisen. He
did his work as he saw it, and as the ma
ton babe him. And he expects the mass
of his brothers who. by force of circum-
stances. could find no place at the front to
take up all the resulting problems with the
same earnestneSs that he has done his
part. He enlisted for the war, no matter
how long 1t lasted And he has a right to
expect that people richly blessed as
we have been will take up these problems,
no matter how far their solution may reach
out into the future. and shall grapple with
them patiently, tirelessly, ceaselessly and
confidently. with something of soldiers
loyalty and with much Of a soldiers faith
in the sufficiency of his nation to do fully
and righteously all that God may impose
upon It,
These brave men, to whose tombs we
bring the spicery OF our devotion today
have not died in vain, because their sacri-
flee is known unto God. But their Offering
will avail nothing beyond their own en-
richment. unless there shall be a willing
ness on the part of the people to carry on
the work which they have laid down with
from the cost, until the whole problem
has been worked out and the land we love
has been developed by the exercise
I'VE have their money. We applaud
their action. We set aside sacred the
soil in which they lie entOmbed. Let us

TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA.
The Sleeping Cars and the Steamer
on the VOIga

The sofas of our staterooms on the
Volga river steamer, while pleasant
enough to sit on, were devoid of the
other trappings which in these degen-
crate days are thought necessary to
nights rest, and we had not yet learn
ed the peculiarities of Muscovite travel
The old fashioned Russian travels
with his own gear and makes himself
comfortable according to his own ideas,
and they are by no means narrow. A
place to sleep on is provided, The rest
he brings. On the Russian sleeping
cars those who have not their own bed
clothes and who wish to undress and
go to bed in the American fashion can
have all that is requisite for 80 cents.
The porter on demand brings a linen
sack, whose seal he cuts in your pres
ence with considerable ceremony and
from which he produces a pillow,
blankets and sheets Of beautiful fine
linen. This was the system on our
boat, and our minds were soon at rest.
l afterward inspected the lower decks
Of the ship and saw the way the third
class passengers were cared for. 1t
was primitive, but clean and wholly
suited to the customs OF the people.
Each person was provided with a spot
less board shelf to sleep on by night
and sit on by day, and he made himself
as happy or as uncomfortable as he
chose. Most of the passengers seemed
to take travelling as a migration. to
judge by the pots and kettles, furni-
ture, blankets and clothing slowed
about them-"eyerything but the kitch-
en- stove," that important but dan
gerous article being replaced by the
ships galley, with its bountiful hot
water always ready for the eternal
teamaking.-C Captain T. Bentley Mott,

THE BELTED PLAID.
This Was the Original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.

This Was the Original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.
The original dress Of the highlander
was the belted plaid. This was a
piece Of tartan cloth, two yards broad
and four long, which was drawn
around the waist in nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckled with a belt
The lower part came down to the
knees in much the same manner as
the modern kilt, while the upper part
was drawn up and adjusted to the left
shoulder, so that the right arm might
the plaid, which was used as covering
for the shoulders and body in wet
weather, and when the use Of both
arms was required it was fastened
across the breast with brooch, often
curiously enriched. A brooch was also
used to fasten the plaid on the left
shoulder. To attire himself in the belt
ed plaid required on the part Of the
highlander no small amount Of dexteri-
ty The usual way was to lay it on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down upon it and then
buckle it on. The lower end was fas
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such a dress in the highlands is OBJ
yious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass a night In the open air in the
most inclement weather, while the loose
updergarment enabled him TO wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease. 1t was thus peculiarly adepted
to the warrior, the hunter and the
shepherd.-London Mail.

PUNISHED BY PROMOTION.
Curious Laws That Prevailed In the
EIOrentine Republic.

FIorentine Republic.
The Florentine republic had unique
method of dealing with its too ardent
democrats. In 1893 the state passed
the famous Magma Charta Of Flor
ence," to curb the cruelty and rapacity
of the lawless mobiles, who, in defiance
Of the law courts, were accustomed to
fog and torture their dependents at
will. The act practically &sfranchised
these titled harpies by q clause which
excluded them from the signory-a
body in the state corresponding to the
British cabinet,-unless they reflounceq
their nobility.
This curious provision prepared the
way for still more extraordinary
clause, which enacted that any member
Of the democratic party who made
himself obnoxious to the government
and was by them declared to be guilty
Of treason to the commonwealth" should
be given patent of nobility and thus
at the same moment be raised In the
Social scale and reduced to a political
hab0dy at the will of the state.-Lon-
n4a Eeieeze1rtaph,
OF all the cants in this cantlng world,
though the cant of hypoerites may be
the worst, the cant of criticism Is the
most tormenting.-Sterne.

Choked Up a River While Travelling
From oklahoma to Texas,
''The prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur.
ing July, 1874, eclipsed anything Of
that sort witnessed by white men in
this country" said veteran who saw
It. millions of the frisky little bark
ers must have been in quest of new
pastures or perhaps feared the ap-
preaching legions of home seekers
would surely eXterminate the dogs and
plow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog migration from the north to the
southwest lasted six days during the
month of July, 1874. The travelling
dogs while crossing the Red river In
terfered to q great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream tc
quench their thirst. Some cowboys
that were on the banks of Red river
during the time when the prairie dogs
swan across say that the stream was
chock full of the little rascals for
many miles up and down the river
The thirsty cattle were either unable
or unwilling to stick their mouths into
the water through the moving mass Of
living prairie dogs. The cowboys were
getting ready to drive the famishing
stock to a distant stream, but the Red
river became clear of the repelling
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week, 1t
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the
staked plains Of Texas."-Kansas City
Times.

Hard to Please.

''The only perfectly beautiful wo-
man," said a well known sculptor,
must have been a goddess. 1 never
saw a perfectly beautiful woman in
my life, nor even heard of the exist
ence Of one. AS for Cleopatra, learned
Englishman has discovered in some an
cient gossip written on papyrus that
she had the foxy red hair and the
freckled skin of all the Ptolemy family
and was obliged to resort to hair dyes
and cosmetics to keep up her reputa-
ton for looks. But perhaps the sever
est shock to the feelings is to learn that
gfary, queen of Scots, actually squint-
ed, and that Nine. Du Barry wore a
set of false teeth"

The Shre,ymouse.

The smallest mammal in the British
isle is the shrewmouse. This is not
only the smallest British mammal, but,
with the exception of one other of the
same genus, the smallest in Europe.
The harvest mouse is sometimes
thought to be even smaller, but the
length of its head and body is often
two and one-half inches, while that
Of the lesser shrew Is rarely more than
two inches. The tail measures about
one and one-third inches, and its teeth
are so extremely small that lens is
required to detect them.
