a corporation income tax ought to in

Under the conditions that existed
with reference to the extent it seems
to me clear that the corporation tax
is an equitable burden, one reaching

tard it. but enough to collect sub

successful in business.

STRENGTH AT DIFFERENT AGES
Years in Which It Increases-When
It Fails Most Rapidly.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
According to excellent authority the
muscles. in common with all organs Of
the human body. have their periods Of
development and decline, our physical
strength increasing up to a certain age
and then decreasing. Tests of the
strength of several thousand individuals
have been made and the following figures
are given as the averages derived from
such tests:
The lifting power Of youth Of seven
teen is 2SO pounds; in his twentieth year
this increases to $40 pounds. and in the
thirtieth and thirty-first years It reaches
its height, 365 pounds. AT the expiration
OF the thirty-irst year the strength begins
to decline, very gradually at first. BY the
fortieth year it has decreased eight
pounds. and diminution continue at a
slightly increasing rate until the fiftieth
year is reached, when the figure is $50
pounds.
Subsequently to this period strength
fails more and more rapidly until the
weakness of old age is reached. It is
found impossible to obtain trustworthy
statistics of the decline of strength after
the fiftieth year, as the rate varies greatly
in different individuals.

lawyer Wills.
the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
A remarkable specimen OF a lawyers
invalid will was that Of Sir Joseph
Jeckyll, master OF the rolls. who died in
1888 and bequeathed his fortune after his
wifes death to pay off the national debt.
.Sir Joseph was a good man and a good
lawyer" was Lord Mansfield's comment,
but his bequest was very foolish one
He might as we'll have attempted to stop
the middle arch of London bridge with
his full bottomed wig" The testator's
patriotic Intentions were therefore treated
as proof of mental weakness, and his will
was promptly set aside.
Among the many laundering wills that
lawyers have made for their clients. IL
not for themselves, the strangest on rec
ord was that Of q Dublin gentleman who
left all his money to the elder son of his
brother, and IL he had no elder son. to
the second.

Raisins in England.

of fish as food" we might add the
raisin to the meal Already We are
eating five or six times more raisins than
the Americans. who grow them. And
here comes the 'Grocers' Assistant" with

Even the poorest can afford to use as
many raisins as they wish" And you

Still Unsuitable.

Today the Hunger Desert lies out as in
satiable as ever. There is no other road
to Samarkand, for behind her there lies
the uptossed cataclysm Of impossible
Himalayan snowields and iron peaks.
Across the desert the traveller still must
go either through the Red Waste to the
north. or through the Black Desert to the
west. But today-if you have the special
permission of the Russian war office
you may run through both the one and
the other almost s. comfortably as II you

Gardens Of Samarkand.

She is the green emerald in the crown
of Asia, and the gardens OF Samarkand
have provoked more eulogtes from travel
ers than all the verdure of all the other
paradises Of this world. The old proverb
runs true: "A Passage Perilus maketh q
Port Pleasante." Ibn Haukal especially
is enthusiastic about this, oasis. For
him. and he was a mighty traveller for
his day. there are but three perfect pros
poets on earth. One is Damascus, an
other is the Valley of Aileh, and the
third-and the best of the three-is the
Sogd Of Samarkand. He gives US a
picture OF eight days travelling through
gardens and orchards and villages where
both on the right hand and on the left
there were pleasant corn fields and hand
some villas and, what must have been far
more pleasing to his parched eye, streams
and reservoirs and fountains every
where. In these early days the people OF
Samarkand would seem to have been as
kindly as their surroundings. Ibn Haukal
tells us that throughout the oasis which
extends from Bokhara to Samarkand the
against the walls. and had been so from
time immemorial, SO hospitable were the
people of the land. This Is a pleasanter
picture of the place than that which is
called up by the brutal murder of two I'M
happy Englishmen in Bokara SO late as
1872
There are few more curious pictures Of
human development or the reverse than
that which the attitude OF central Asia
toward strangers affords us. Early
travellers give on the whole a similar ac-
count of the kindly reception which they
met with in these remote parts OF the
earth. The Journeys OF the Polos and
lbn Batuta and Rubruquis and the other
great Asiatic travellers of the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries would have been
an impossibility two or three hundred
years later. and there Is visible even to
this day the same slow but universal
tendency on the part of Asiatics to shut
up hitherto accessible regions in central
Asia. 1t is fact that Tibet, Afghanis-
tan and Nepal are all less penetrable
now than they were a hundred years ago.
The intrusion OF Russia into central Asia
has indeed forcibly broken down barriers
which would otherwise exist I'm Turkes-
