Proposed Amen dment

Senator Aldrich. has engineered
through both houses of Congress, a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution
providing for an income tax. This
tack was taken by the Rhode Island
Senator as an additional means of
preventing the passage of an income
tax law at the special session of
Congress, and in the confident ex-
pectation that such proposed amend
ment will never be ratified by the
requisite number, three fourths of
the States.
1t is extremely difficult to secure
an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, and this can
not now be done unless the people
are very thoroughly aroused con-
corning the question presented. AL
drich and his hackers, number of
whom individually count their wealth
by the hundreds of millions, will
see to it that legislative action upon
the proposed amendment does not
go by default. If money, political
trickery, or legal and parliamentary
technicalities of any sort can be
operated TO defeat the project, it
will be defeated. 1t is now up to
the people to say whether or not
they want the proposed income tax
amendment. If they want it, they
should vote for no candidate for the
legislature who is not unequivocally
pledged to support the measure.

Food of tho Chinese.

In the Revue d'Hygiene DR.. Male
gnon, who lived for many years in
China, gives some curious details of
the food Of the Chinese. This is what
he says Of the sons Of heaven and the
way they eat eggs: "The Chinese are
great eaters Of eggs, which they take
hard boiled. One finds them in all the
roadside places for refreshment. The
Celestials have an expression, Eggs of
a hundred years. The eggs are not
always a century in age, but one is
able'to get them Of many years. stand
ing. The Celestials have preference
for the egg Of the duck or goose. They
are placed with aromatic herbs in
slaked lime for period, the minimum
time Of treatment being five or six
weeks. Under the influence of time
the yoke liQuefies and takes a dark
green color. The white coagulates and
becomes green. The product of the
eggs, which has strong odor, from
which stranger betakes himself
quickly, the Chinese eat as hors
d'oeuvres, and 1t is said to have the
taste Of lobster"

Object to Big Hats.

We notice that ladies, of all ages and
conditions, go about during the week,
visiting their neighbors, shopping, etc.,
in their bare heads; they remove their
hats in the opera house, aud at the
Y. M. G. A., and also at prayer meet
ing Wednesday evening, but when Sum-
day comes, and the people gather for
preaching service, many persist In
wearing their hats, to the great in
convenience, and discomfort of people
sitting behind them. Now it would
certainly be nice thing for every lady
to remove her hat during the church
service. We would like to see every
lady do this. To our certain knowl-
edge men are kept away from church
service by reason of ladies wearing
their big hats in the church. A man
said to us this week that he had as
much right to smoke a cigar in church
as lady had to wear her big hat. And
he was right. Won't the ladies think
the matter over carefully?-Brookville
