only those which have been built especially
for the purpose for which they are now

why BacheIors Should De Ta1ed.

We nave frequently advocated a tax

remains unchanged. says the Baltimore
Sun. We incline to the view, indeed, that
they should assume the whole burden Of
taxation-that all taxes, real, personal and
mixed, should be assessed against bachelors
alone. They bear. at present, every other
civic and national burden. They fight the
nations wars, they write its poetry. they
sail its ships, they direct it's industries and
they do its thinking. Why should they not
complete the sum of their services and
make perfection doubly perfect by paying
its expenses, tool

he commonly disposes of the rest in his old
age by founding orphan asylums, cooking
schools and homes for matrimonial wrecks.
He spends little upon himself. for his
wants are few. and the very fact that he is
a bachelor is sufficient to make him happy.
His life is one of peace. calm and beauty,
of plain living and high thinking, of COM

 Among the curioSltles are many of great historical value. There Is an alarm clock constructed in the year 1880 for the use of travellers. In form It resembles a lantern. and the Interior Is designed to hold lighted candle The candle Is slowly pushed forward by a spring. which also controls the mechanism of the clock. A little pair of shears clip the wick of the candle automatically every minute to regulate Its light. The lantern Is iuclosed with movable slides. so that the sleeper Is not at first disturbed by the presence of light.
 The alarm Is set by inserting peg In the second dial plate. When the required hour arrives the alarm Is sounded, and at the same time the movable slides fall, flooding the room with light.
 Among the curiosItles Is a Japanese saw clock. The clock Itself produces the motive power by descending a saw formed strip of metal, the teeth of which operate the wheel of the clock. work. In another Japanese clock the hand Is attached to a weight, which sinks once In twenty.rour hours. The time is indicated by a hand on the perpendicular scale.
