The Title Tax.


Now ma has got the fidgets,
And Sadie's looking glum, A@''1s
While pa pretends to sympathize,
Although he chuckles some.
This chap in congress worries 'em,
For all the plans were made
To spend a year in Europe
And title get for SADIE.
Said pa: This Teller thinks II wrong
That Yankee girls with cash
Should set their caps for foreigners
And such like titled trash.
Mile hundred million dollars gone
To shingle their old shacks- .,
He says it's time to stop the game
BY putting on a tax
Ma thinks that pa has got no style.
He's still the same Joe Noggs
Who started twenty years ago
To make a pile on hogs.
He clings to Bramble Center ways
And never is afraid
To say a straight American
Is good enough for Sade.
Ma can't forget that Hattie Bangs,
A little freckled fright,
At Newport IL your ladyship"'
And her husband but a knight.
While SADIE. with half million mora.
Is tall and slim and fair
How well a coronet would look
Upon her golden hair.
So of to Europe they will 60.
Poor pa will stay at home.
b, They'll CAD about In gay Paree,
In London and in Rome
What care they for the title tax?
For ma will be repaid
When Bramble Center hears that she
Has got count for SADIE.

The Leap Year RAN

The Leap Year party Friday night
was decided success, eocially and a.
financially. The ladies, gowned in their
best and looking their prettiest, we're
out in force and it was distinctly their
night. They run things with a high
hand 80 far as the opposite sex was con-
cerned. Fines we're imposed upon them
II they asked a lady to dance, walked
across the floor without an escort or d1d
many other things men like to do at
dances.
Every lady present looked her very
best and the editor Of this paper mas too
much regard for his gray hair to men
ton one OF the tn M the belle of the ball.
In his eye alb were bellies. Bot perhaps
no is not competent judge as he cav
but few ladies and did not pay particu-
lar attention to what vas going on in the
hall. The reason for this being that he
was chang baied shortly after reaching
the hall by Senator Hunter and Messrs
Mcbride, Willis and Mallett and in vei-
gle1 into a game Of five hundred. Game
followed game and We we're held an IN
willing captive until after 2 o'clock Sat-
uTday morning. Had we been at hber-
ty to take notes, we wOuld be able TO give
better account Of the party than this.
However, we wieh to say that the hall
was prettily decorated with hage, bunt-
ing and Chinese lanterns, the refresh.
mente were excellent and the ladiee
we're everywhere making their guests
com Portable and doing their very best Ia
make the evening an enjoyable one for
everybody.
When leap year rolls around again
and the ladies give another party, We
hope 10 be there.

First Idea of the TeIeuraph,

Long before Prof. S. ,F. b. Morse
had perfected his great invention the
word telegraph" was used for a sort
OF semaphore. In the French revolu-
ton telegraph" assisted by tele-
scopes, was devised to carry news
over immense distances. Forty years
before this time, however, there was
published the first detailed scheme for
communication by means of electricity.
1t Is outlined in letter to the Scots
magazine, written February 1, 1853,
from Renfrew and signed &C. M" This
suggestion was to transmit a charge
from the conductor Of an electrical
machine at the sending station along
an insulated wire to the receiving ma
chine, the presence of the charge be-
Ing indicated by the behavior of a
light pith ball or the passage of
spark" Each letter Of the alphabet
was to have separate wire, so that
any word might be spelled out and
any message sent

SAYS It's Not So.

Report to the effect that electric
lights are detrimental to the eyesight
are pronounced unfounded by an cleo
trical expert in the London Times.
He says that the trouble arises from
too direct exposure Of the eye to the
light, and that effect would be the
same or worse with any other light.
