growing deficit in the governments

Numerous and ingenious have been
the plans suggested, but none of them

Senator Gireau. He proposes to estab-
fish tax not only on titles, but even
on aristocratic "particule.'
His scale of taxation follows:
Prince ..........$S0 Baron ..S $3.50
Duke ........... 40 Double particule,
Marquis ......... so such as de la 90
Count .....s..... so Simple particule. 10
Viscount ........ 40
The beauty OF the plan is that this

"Try the salt water cure" is the latest

A little red squirrel, from all available
evidence a Methodist, undertook to at

The squirrel entered through an open

Somebody should call President Roose-

iris of Skowhegan, Me-. broke a common
hens egg in a bowl the other morning.
In so doing she noticed another little egg
in the bowl with a shell on 1t, which
proved to be a sparrow's egg. Mrs Har-
ris called Mr.. Harris to explain what this
strange discovery meant Mr.. Harris took
the sparrow's egg and broke 1t. Inside
the shell he found a little sparrow alive.
Mr. Harris solved the problem. The hen
had swallowed the gparrow's egg whole,
and in forming the shell about her own
egg the little egg had got within, and the
warmth of the hen had been the required
aid to hatch the little sparrow. The
sparrow, though not grown quite enough
to hatch, is alive.

The Religious World

Clergymen of all denominations, and
even laymen, may now discourse from
Episcopalian pulpits, provided the bishop
of the diocese approve, in accordance with
the new canon enacted at the general
convention in Richmond.
Although the rule was adopted by
large majority, there are still many hlGh
churchmen who think the innovation
should not have been permitted, and the
results of the procedure are belng
watched with interest. The Episcopalian
clergyman Is not expected, however, to
ask any other clergyman than one OF ms
own denomination to assist in conducting
the services.
y The conservative element in the church
fears there may be cases where the rec
tor and perhaps the bishop will permit
some speaker of radical views to dis
course from this open pulpit Provided
the head of the see approve, Roman
Catholic or a priest of the Greek church
may be permitted to make an address,
and there are some who have forebodings
that the Episcopalian faith is becoming
too liberal.
Current numbers of the Churchman
and other religious periodicals are filled
with discussions for and against the plan.
