A Tax Scheme That Failed.

Switzerland has always prided itself
on its independence, and in fiscal mat
tiers this proud spirit, which will brook
no interference with the rights of the
individual, even by the state in quest
of revenue, has sometimes been ex-
hibited in curious ways, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. AS the inquisitorial
methods of income tax collectors are
abhorrent to the freedom loving Swiss,
boxes were once or twice set up in
several cantons to receive the volun-
tary contributions of loyal citizens. 1t
was hoped that this method of relying
on the public spirit of the people
would prove successful in raising
money for public ends; but, alas for
human nature, in the course of a few
years the collectors on opening the
boxes found nothing but-trouser but
tons. So the voluntary system. after
fair trial, had TO be reluctantly aban-
doned in favor of n declaration of
capital and income, which is liable to
official investigation.

The Chick In the Eqq.

Almost every one knows that if a
hens egg is kept under suitable condi-
tons for about three weeks a fully
formed and developed chick will
emerge from the shell, but when a
fresh egg Is opened no sign of an Or
ganism is present However at one
side of the yolll is a minute cell which
contains the vital principle of the fu-
ture fowl, and, strange as 1t may SEEM
this cell begins to eat the contents of
the eggshell and transforms them into
tissues of the chick. This process may
be watched by holding the egg to the
light, when the developing of the
chick may be followed from hour to
hour. When the chick comes out of
the shell it is not dependent on its
parents body for food, but is capable
of picking up worms and seeds and
digeSting them. 1T will be noticed that
the hen supplies enough material in
an egg to produce fully formed
progeny, and the chick is not started
out in life with imperfectly formed or
gans.-Dr. Henry Dwight Chaplin in

YOUR TRUE COMMUTER.
He Must Re by Nature a Man VINO
Takes TO Routine.

Your true commuter must be by ma
ture man who takes TO routine
There are some who have commuted
for a quarter century or more and yet
have not acquired the trick and never
will. They are the ones who write let
tiers TO the newspapers. airing their
grievances against the heartless rail-
road CORPORATIONS. They are not born
commuters. They have had commute
ton thrust upon them. But many real
~ enjoy the life of the commuter.
They like the clocklike regularity.
They Ike the pleasant social aspect OF
the early morning trip to town, the
neighborIy interest in one another's af-
fairs. the ample time for reading the
newspapers. which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged 10 ger
an early start. They look forward to
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side to keep the smoke out Of their
eyes some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning.
In time all who work in New York
will come to it. Meanwhile. for the
man with a family il appears to be in
many ways a happy solution of diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly it is a more
wholesome existence physically, but
mentally and spiritually it has the de-
fects of it's virtues when pursued all
the year round The commuter devotes
the best part of the day to one narrow
corner of the city. The rest of his
time not consumed on the train is in
still more narrowing atmosphere of the
suburbs He neither gets all the way
into the life of the city nor clean out
into the country. So his view of things
has neither the perspective of robust
rurality nor the sophistication of man
in the city and of it. His return to
nature is only halfway. His urbanity
is suburbanity. Much of our literature,
art and especially criticisms show the
faint of the commuters point of view.

There was a marked contrast be-
tween Lincoln's manner, which was al
ways pleasant and even genial, and
that of Stanton. The latter's stern,
specialized visage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion. Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before a high desk
as the crowd passed before him and
one by one presented their requests or

Secretary Taft is preparing to take
up for final disposition the. complex
questions presented TO him under the
terms Of the Burton act, relative to
the conservation of the waters of the
Niagara river so, as to prevent the
sacrifice OF the falls to the commercial
interests OF the country.
Grave constitutional questions are
involved. Attorneys for the electric
lighting and power companies which
have been taking the water from the
river are insistent that the national
government has no authority to under.
take to regulate the disposition OF the
waters OF streams save where the
navigation thereof Is concerned. In
the case Of the Niagara river, where
the water is taken from the stream
above the falls. only to be returned to
1t again below, this issue is not in
volved
So far. however the right Of the U.
S. government to regulate the admis-
sion Of currents Of electricity general
ed on the Canadian side of the river
has not been challenged, and to this
question the secretary intends to first
address himself.

ASTOUNDING
REPORTS MADE
THE CAR SHORTAGE WHICH HAS
CAUSED MUCH SUFFERING, +
A MYTH.
STARTLING RECORD.
Vast Number of Industrial Workers
Who Met Death by Accident Has Be.
come Appalling.
Plenty of Carr.

Startling revelations regarding the
car shortage were made public today
by the department OF commerce and
labor. It's Investigations show that the
mush-vaunted car shortage is no short
age OF cars at all. Its carefully gath
cred statistics show that a smaller
quantity Of the great staples Of this
country was moved during November
of this year than during the same
month in 1905.
With the great elevators at Duluth
and Minneapolis and other shipping
points yawning for wheat, the deliver
les at IL interior markets fell below
the deliveries Of November, 1905, by
the great figure of 100000 bushels.
With the children OF the great north
west shivering and crying for coal. the
shipments of anthracite from the east
ern producing regions fell below the
figure OF November, 1905. by nearly
$4,000 tons.
The showing is absolutely convinc-
ing regarding the car supply. 1t an.
swers the question of the interstate
commerce commission, which, even at
the end of last week was willing to
admit that there was probably an &C.
tual shortage of cars. But in clearing
up this mooted point, the revelations
create even deeper queries.

and ex-Mayor Alexander McEwan have
sworn to warrant against William p.

Of the Kavanaugh Fish Co., charging
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm less than the crime OF murder.
Kavanaugh is said to have found his

EVAN and at the point Of revolver
to have compelled the former mayor
TO sign an agreement bearing upon his
future relations with Miss Kavanaugh
and 10 have forced her to affix her sig

Kavanaugh put up his revolver and
pounded McEwan with his fists.
McEwan's face was badly discolored
when he appeared in police court,
