AN INHERITANCE TAX
Talk at the Capitol on the Presi-
dents Suggestion.

Triumph of Their Teaching.

Insist That the Speech Might Prove
to Be Happy Political
Stroke.
ADMINISTRATION FRIENDS

In cloak room and committee room at the
Capitol today President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion for a tax on inheritances was the
subject of discussion among senators and
representatives. Men were disinclined to
be quoted for publication. but in private
conversation expressed their views freely.
From the legislative viewpoint, the Presi
dents suggestion did net appear to present
any aspect of imminency. 1t was not un
dersteod that he contemplates recommend
ing the plan formally to the attention of
Congress, at least at this time.
From the politicians outlook, however,
the Presidents speech is expected to have
immediate and important effect. How far
reaching it may be none of the politicians
ventured to predict, but all were agreed
that it would exert great Influence In the
coming political campaigns Their opinion
was that the first results will be to en-
courage the socialists to redouble their ef-
forts.

Comet Has Tail; Why7

What are comets tails and how and
why? Prof. Barnard concludes that
the eruptive action of the comet itself
and the active interference Of external
matter are tail-producing causes. Short
straight minor tails, issuing from the
nucleus at considerable angles to the
main tail, seem to corroborate the
existence of the comets own eruptive
force, or at least of scme force in addi-
ton to that supplied to the sun. The
rapid reflections and distortions Of the
tail or tails, as in Brooks comet, sug-
gests the existence of some resisting
medium which is not evenly distrib-
uted throughout the interplanetary
space. He thinks all bright comets
should be photographed hour by hour,
as the day by day photographs hither-
to obtained are separated by long in
tervals, so long that the changes
recorded are not necessarily con-
nected.

French Peeraae Out of Place.

The French peerage, so called, fig
ures fagrantly and conspicuously in
about all the scandals, social, political
and ecclesiastical, that we get from
Paris. The duchess who figures in
the Castellane affair is one of it's lead
ing members and other French dukes

leaders in the church riots against the

Duchess Dues who financed the I'M
dertaking of Gen. Boulanger to over

You can not make sweet butter In a

as n churn in which to agitate, work up
and dlslntegrate our food as 1t 10 being

FORTUNES IN WASTE PRODUCTS
One of the Chief Achievements of the
Twentieth Century,


Waste not, want not" tells only
half the story in the twentieth Gen.
fury, which finds fortunes in waste
products. Sulphate Of iron as water
purifying agent, with an admixture of
a small percentage of copper sulphate,
is of comparatively recent use in me-
chanical filtration, and its merit as a
coagulant, together with its low cost,
has led to its employment as a substi-
tute for aluminium sulphate. A new
outlet, therefore, has been provided
for waste product the uses of which
hitherto have been much circum-
scribed, and the disposition of which
at all large finishing mills has been a
problem. The possibilities of the
trade are suggested by the require
ments Of one Of the largest filtration
plants, where $500 tons are used an
nually. More attention also is being
paid to the use of the blast furnace
fine dust, despite the many unsuc-
cessful attempts at briqueting. Re
cent developments indicate that the
latter has been given up as impractical
BILE, and attention is being turned
toward the agglomeration of the dust
into rotary kilns. Some of the largest
producers of steel have already made
plants for the rotary kiln type.

Senator Knox Keeps Good Hours.

Senator Knox of Pennsylvania is
one of the few members of congress
who come near living up to the "early

BY 6 o'clock he is up and at work,

Word With Many Uses.

Nugget" was formerly used to sig.
nifty bit or lump of anything, as "a
nugget of tobacco" Nowadays, how
ever, 1t is used principally of gold
as it comes from the mine. This use
is Australian. Gov. Sir William Dem
tson of Australia wrote in 1852: I'm
many instances the gold is brought to
market in Jumps or nuggets, as they
are called" In Queensland there is a
peculiar use Of the word unknown in
the rest of Australia. There, when
a man appropriates unbranded calves,
he is said to be "nuggeting."

Women's Friendships.

Some people only have themselves
to thank that they do not possess more
friends.
They think they should give friend
hard service as they would door
mat.
A wise woman once wrote the fol-
lowing rules for friends:
Give your intimates the same polite
treatment you give your acquaintances.
Don't use your friends house as
you would restaurant.
Don't rush in at all hours.
Don't tell your troubles.
Don't find fault.
Be liberal with your words of praise.
Don't accept favors you can't or
won't return.
>--~Don't try to be included in every.
thing.
Don't always say that you have
something like it when she shows you
some new possession.
Don't interfere with the manage.
ment of servants or children.
Don't keep your friends waiting.
Don't fail them in times Of trouble.
Learn to overlook little things and
don't be exacting.
Help in whatever way you can.
Do not try to Guido your friend,
Be content to share attention or adj
miration.
Don't preach.
Don't talk about yourself.
Now, it really would seem in view
of all these rules that there is more
to friendship than most women think,

SEEK "THE WORLD FOR CHRIST"
Enormous Growth of the Christian
EndeaVor Societies,

Sixty-eight thousand societies with
a membership of more than three mil.
lions, have grown in twenty-five years
from "a tea and talk" in a quiet home
in Portland, Maine.
DR.. Father Endeavor Clark-as he
is affectionately called through a pun
on his initials, F. E.-was pastor then
of the Williston church in that city;
and it was in his house and at his
invitation that some of the young peo-
pie Of the church founded the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeay-
or, which celebrates it's twenty-fifth
anniversary this month.
There are almost $4,000 of these So
cieties in the United States and Can
ada, and more than 10000 in Great
Britain and Ireland. In Africa there
are 225 societies, in Brazil 62, in Bull
garia 10, in China $50, in Finland 49,,
in Hungary 10, in Russia 10, in Swe-
den las, in Hawaii 81 and in India SGT.
The annual Christian Endeavor con-
ventions have become stupendous, be-
ing attended by something like 60 900
registered delegates, not counting
thousands of outsiders. 1t is proposed
at the quarter century celebration to
commence the erection of an interna-
tional headquarters building in Bos-
ton. This will not only provide for
Offices for the society but will serve
as a memorial to the founder, DR..
Francis Edward Clark. The motto
of the Endeavorers is THE World for
Christ"

Truth.

In fine, truth consit ed in itself
and in the effects natural to it, may be
conceived as a gentle spring or water
course, warm from the genial earth,
and breathing up into the snowdrift
that is piled over and around it's out
let. It turns the obstacle in its own
form and character, and as = makes
its way increases its stream. And
should 1t be arrested in its course by
a chilling season, it suffers delay, not
loss, and waits only for a change in
the wind to awaken and again roll
onward.-Coleridge
