New York's Extravagant Tax.

1t costs New Yorkers $31 a head
to be governed. In Philadelphia and
in Chicago 1t costs only S13 a head,
and citizens are provided with police,
fire, sanitary and other protection
common to large cities. In Buffalo
the figure is $12; in Washington.
Bridgeport, Schenectady and cities Of
that sort, s11 per capita pays the
tax; in Houston, Texas, the charge is
under $40; in lively Los Angeles,
$3.50; Scranton and Seattle each col
lect $3.50, and Nashville, Tenn, is at
the. bottom of the list of progressive
cities with a taxation of about Sc
per capita, less than one-fifth of New
York's rate.
The average city tax throughout
the country is probably between $40
and $11 per capita, or almost exactly
the amount by which New York has
raised its per capita figure in only
nine years.-Broadway Magazine.

Fruits by the Roadside.

The province of Hanover, Ger
many, owns 1874 fruit trees
planted along the sides Of 1875 miles
Of highways. There are pear, cherry,
plum and apple trees. Apples are
the most numerous, and give, upon
the whole, the best returns. The
planting of trees began in the early
part of the last century. Those
which are too old to be Of service
are being>replaced. But large part
of the highways thus utilized as or
chards have been constructed since
1870. The gross income from these
trees has reached nearly $4,000 in
a season. The maintenance costs
about half the average product,
which is little over twelve and a
half cents per tree.-Youth's Com

The Girl Who Tries to Conquer
New York.
BY MRS. DDiIBs DENIsoN.

81 know of nothing more pathet-
ic." said woman to me, lately,
than the one face one is sure to find
at every boarding house in New York
the face of the girl who has just
come to conquer the city. To me
such faces are more tragic than an
army with banners. Why doesn't
she go homer"
Now, why should she go home
the girl who has just come to con-
quer the city? The women who are
at the heads of their professions did
not go home, and they are not going
to keep their places always. Who
will take their places If that army of
eager, confident young women at the
boarding house tables of New York
should suddenly go home?
There came a girl to New York,
three years ago, who went to see one
of the successful women In her pro-
fession.
my dear young FRIEND" said the
successful woman, "go home. 1 have
an average of ten girls a day who
come to me as you have come.
know girls of college,
bred and clever-who cannot earn
five dollars a week in this town. Go
home and stay there"
But you didn't go home," sug-
gested the girl.
THAT was because I didn't know
what I was daring" replied the sue
cessful woman.
The girl did not go home, how
ever. She stayed, and now she is
earning salary almost equal to that
of the successful woman-for New
York is indeed fairy city If one
knows a little magic oneself.
To every girl who has come here
to make her way l should like to say
two things:
First, know yourself; that bit Of
advice has never yet been equaled.
Second, If It is not your pride, nor
your desire, nor your discomfort at
home, but your sober judgment of
your own ability and perseverance
that leads you to believe honestly
that you can win-then stay.
Given health, and with no pressing
call of duty at home, any girl who
understands her own personality, and
who stays in the belief l have just
mentioned, holds her future in her
own hands. In her own hands!
There, alas, is the rub; for upon the
way she juggles the future with her
own clever hands everything depends,
far more than on the Intervention
of fate.-Success Magazine.

chronicle the doings of the smart set

was given to the public it was found
