PONGEE IS POPULAR

One Of the most popular counters in
the store these days is that where the
pongee and rahjah silks are sold.
Around this counter the women gather
almost by the score, and the clerks are
kept busy measuring on dress patterns
As IN nearly every other thing browns
are leading. but blues, grays, old rose,
black and other shades can be bought
In addition to the plain weaves, a
novelty silk pongee is displayed
satin stripe. rather wide. adding to the
effectiveness of the material. The silk
pongee can be bought for about so GEMS
a yard, while the silk and cotton mix
tures are something less. These pom
gees will make up into very pretty coat
suits. the jackets made of this light
material being particularly useful as
wraps during the summer evenings
when some slight protection may be
needed.

The ''hot bread" at breakfast has
many enemies who contend that it is
the cause of so much Indigestion. Yet.
there is no doubt that It also has mRny
friends. Hcre is good recipe to be
used by the latter:
sift one quart of the flour with three

Inheritance Tax.
ditor THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
At the present time the State Revenue
Commission arc considering the question
OF an inheritance tax. II is a tax upon
those who will inherit your propertv AZ
your death. II means a tax on your or
phans' just because they have been so un-
fortunate as TO lose their mother or father
or relatives OF any kin. be Il father.
mother. sister, brother uncle aunt or
whether Il be a bequest to you from some
friend. Now what right has the state to
take any part OF this propertyf Just be-
cause some person has been called to the
Great Beyond. II tho state has no right
70 take It when they are living how can
II get any greater right after they are
dead? BY what process OF Justice can the
state acquire a right 10 their propertyg
Let them answer Mr. Herbert spencer's
question. At what rate per annum does
that which was originally wrong become
a right and II It take one thousand years
for a wrong 10 become a right. how much
more than right will II be in two thous-
and years?
] think any fair minded man win admit
that a wrong can never become a right,
but If the state thinks It will become
right in one thousand years. then let
the state wait until its right becomes valid
before taking inheritance taxes.
What would you think OF man who
watched the papers for death and funeral
notices. and then went to the house when
the family was az the grave and commit
ted robbery7 We would imprison him sure
enough II we should catch him. and So
oiety would have nothing but contempt for
such a man. This is exactly what our
state win be doing II II adopts an inheri-
tance tax. It VIII become a robber OF the
house Of death. and we. ought to be above
the acts OF such a crimipal for we are all
parties 10 the act when Il IS done I'm the
name Of our state, for the money is taken
to pay our state expenses.
We hear once in while Of some in
dividual who has become conscience
stricken and returned something which
he had not secured honestly. but how
would the state do this7 We should never
allow the state 20 commit such an act that
Il viii have 10 rebrn It as conscience
money. but n we do take this sort Of tax,
we surely viii be committing such an act.
It is the ambition Of every man 20 leave
his family something when he passes
away, and I cannot think Of a more un-
Just thing to do than to rob the family OF
Il by taking It away from them after his
death; but our state must have revenue
and it has to be raised through taxing
something. so let us see II we cannot raise
Il so as to be fair TO all.
Yours truly,
Taxation.

TO KEEP FURS

The vital question Of rhe time to the
woman who owns a set of furs is how
to pack them so that they will be free
from the peslSy moth. OF course, the
very safest way is to send them to
some reliable firm to put into cold stor-
age. but If this cannot be done, first
hang the furs up for good summing
and then pack them away with a good
~ supply of camphor balls. One wo-
man who has a very line set of furs,
which she guards carefully, takes them
out about once every month, shakes
them well and suns them again and
then packs them with new supply Of
moth balls. She believes that eternal
vigilance is the price to pay if the pests
are to be kept at bay.

slMIAN LOVE AND REVENGE.
Peculiar Conduct Of a Monkey Causes
Sailors huch trouble.

A curious story OF love and revenge
comes to us from the far east ard the
fact that it is the love and revenge OF
a Javanese monkey doesn't abate the
human interest in the narrative Nor
should the further fact that tie tale
comes TO US via the crew of tramp
steamer abate all confidence In its
truth. II appears that the sailors
who manned this steamer had collect
ed In Java a number OF monkeys for
speculative purposes and these were
confined in the hold.
Among them were two unusually In
telllgent simians who were released
during the voyage and permitted the
freedom OF the ship. Unhappily
sudden storm came up and one oil
the playful creatures was washed over
board The remaining one, who after
his comrades sudden taking on,
searched the ship for hours and III
ally betook himself TO the rigging,
where he remained three days, refus-
ing food and avoiding all efforts to
capture him.
No doubt he held the sailors re-
sponsible for the death of his partner
and 1t would appear that he was for
mulating a scheme for revenge. Any
way. the third night he released all
the monkeys in the hold and for two
days the simians mace life ms
cradle for the sailors. They bit and
scratched and fought and it was only
after a number OF them had been hung
overheard that the balance could be
captured and secured. And in all TIE
forays and fierce charges the revenge
fdl monkey was IN the van.
Whatever may be contended @on
cerning the reasoning powers OF The
brute creation, there has been many
instances recorded of their remem'
brarce OF past injuries. And this fact
would seem to give the story o. mon
key vengeance some semblan,e o'
truth

Sea snakes are very plentiful In the
south Pacific. They are widely dis.
tributed, stray individuals having been
secured on the coast OF New Zealand
When swimming close to the surface
they exactly resemble an ordinary
snake, except that the head is always
below water. At night they come
ashore and lie among the rocks. They
feed on fish and although their small
double fangs appear harmless they
are reported to be very venomous.
