In Hartford, the Consumers League which has over 300 members and which secured the closing of S5 Hartford stores on Saturday afternoons and ev- enings during August of last year, has already started a movement for sim liar closure this year, suggesting also that the month of July be covered. Possibly, different conditions prevail there from those obtaining here. In Bridgeport, Saturday is the best trad ing day of the week.

Fish hatcheries are provided in sev- erai States. So far as we know, but one State has a game-bird hatchery. New York is, however, about to adopt this policy There will be difficulty, it would seem, in securing eggs, but there is no doubt that if they can be procured or if sufficient number of stock birds can be obtained and kept, the number of young birds can be largely increased, for there would be little or no loss from the depredations of "vermin.''

ward corporations It is not, however, probable that any income tax propo- sition can pass the Senate. Not only is the 'tMillionaire's Club" hostile thereto, but as an income tax was advocated in the National Democratic platform, and not in the Republican platform, the proposition stands as of Democratic origin, and the precedents would be violated if Republican Congress should accept it. That Pres ident Taft favors, or at least does not oppose it, carries no weight against the adverse conditions above cited.

In Havana, the railroads are seeking water frontage so earnestly that they offer almost phenomenal inducements. It is the same policy which has given to the railroads almost the entire dock age on the Mississippi River, almost sealed the coast of California, and left the City of Bridgeport with only about 50 feet of available dock front.

Menu of an African Hunting Party


 In addition to the grSceries and can ned provisions carried fD their outfits the hunters in East Africa depend for fresh provisions on their guns. Water buck, zebra and elephant are said to be tough eating and are mostly par taken of by the native porters, who keep elephant meat till it is quite high and gamy. Bland tastes like the best American beef; orynx. impala and all gazelles are edible and tender, but the delicacies of the East African Protecto- rate are the klipspringer and the dix dix gazelleS. Har-beest is hard except the prime cut along the backbone. An ordinary meal on safari consists of marrow soup, dikdik outlets, roast guinea fowl, curried venison and corn flower pudding, with jam, washed down with tea or coffee.-London Let ter.

Patten, the manager of the Chicago corner in May wheat, has closed out, it is reported, his. holdings at a profit of some half dozen millions, and is now considering the institution of a corner in July wheat. It is not al- ways the case that a manipulator can carry out a corner so successfully, but MT. Patten appears to have been aided by the wheat growers who have with held their grain in expectation of even higher prices.

The income tax proposition of Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa, is of the grad uated type It ranges from 2 per cent. on incomes of s10,O0O to 6 per cent. on those of 5000 or more. He exempts corporation incomes for the reason, he says, that in effect it would be dou- ble taxation of stockholders, that it would practically tax corporation div idends. and then the income derived from dividends.

I'm which twins next appear.
There are now in the tenement
house slXty-eight families and they
have only 1919 children,
There are only six families in the
