The Wrong End.

Senator Bailey, apropos of Independ-
enee Day, told at dinner in Gaiens-
vile story of the Civil War.
Once during this war, he said,
Senator Wigfall, member of the
Confederate Congress from Texas, fell
in with party of Union soldiers.
THE Senator, being well disguised,
conversed freely with the Unionists,
asking them among other things, what
they'd do with old Wigfall if they
caught him..
WED string him up the soldiers
answered promptly.
"'Serve him right, too,' said Senator
Wigfall, and, by gum, if l were there

A QUESTION AS TO EFFECT
OF A FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Contentious of Prominent Men on a
Question of General interest.

There is a difference of opinion as
to whether or not the proposed con-
sttutional amendment permitting the
nation to tax incomes from whatever
source derived" would permit the ma
ton to tax the bonds of states and
cities. Justice Hughes says it would.
Senator Root says it would not. Judge
Gray and Mayor Gaynor agree with
Hughes and so do several states \
number of states evidently agree with
Root, for they have approved the
amendment, and no state in the Union
would purposely hand over to the ma.
ton the right to tax its own revenues.
II the amendment is ratified by the
states, and if 1t is then found that
the intent of the language is as sweep
ing as it seems to be, there will arise
such a chorus of lamentation from the
forty-siX states and $50 cities of the
country as has not been heard in the
land since the war for the Union.
There will have been put in the hands
of the nation power on which every
right of the state has rested and
which, in the nations hands, can be
used to undermine every state right.
The right to tax is the right to de-
stroy, and so it has been used in retir-
ing the cireulationes of state banks.
Just what path 1t would take, were
the amendment adopted, cannot be
forecast; but it is certain that, sooner
or later the attempt would be made
to tax the incomes of states, for ii
has been made before, but has been
forestalled by the courts. The possible
exercise of this power would be a
cloud overcasting the future of every
self-governing community cloud
which might discharge its lightnings
in any one of number of sinister
forms.-New York Evening Post.

'Matrimony is perhaps a little too

Equal at the Time.

Rossini, after finishing his great
work, INDUCED himself in a long
period of leisure and did not write a
line of music. A friend once called on
him and found him writing his auto
graph, with a sentiment, at the bot
tom of some photographs Of himself.
One of these read: ITO M. Pillet Will,
my friend and my equal in music"
What" cried the visitor, you are
not serious? M. Pillet Will Is not
your equal in music" Certainly he
is-since l am doing nothing" ex-

FOR TlNcTuRE OF ROSES
EQUAL TO THE IMPORTED
Few Persons Know How Easily Il
May Be Made At Home.

Probably not one housewife in a
hundred knows how simple is the
process of preparing homemade tine
ture of roses, says the Delineator. Now
that the fragrant rose petals are plen-
tiful in the early summer garden, it
will be interesting to experiment with
this tincture. as well as with the usual
method of preserving the fragrance in
the form of rose potpourri Simply
take the petals of the most fragrant
roses and place them without pressing
in common botue pour some good
spirits of wine upon them, cork the
bottle securely, and let it stand until
required for use. This tincture will
keep for years, and it will yield a per-
fume but little inferior to altar of
roses. A few drops of it will be suffi-
cient to fill a large room with deli
cious fragrance.
1t is a novel idea to use this fra
grant tincture of roses for the table.
1t has been found that common vine
gar is greatly improved by small
quantity of the tincture added to it.
Let this be done just before serving
the vinegar ON the table relishes, and
not only will the flavor be improved,
but the perfume of the tincture will
fill the dining-room.

The Burglars Hours.

Nearly all burglars get in, not
through the door, which the house
holder is SO careful to bolt and chain,
but through the window. In Lon
don in one year 357 burglars got in
through windows, only IS entered
through doors, Is through fanlights,
and II by breaking out" The fav-
orite hours are two to six in the
morning. The householder falls into
his soundest sleep about an hour after
doing off, and is least likely to hear
a burglar, say, between one and three
o'clock. But the policeman on duty
must be growing tired by cockcrow,
and that seems why the burglar SO.

on the streets of Chicago by Rollins
and reared by him. A month ago,
