Among other laws to be presented to
the Legislature is one to prevent voter
from voting if he has not paid his taxes
to date. The matter is being talked
over in this city and while the bill has
not been framed it is more than likely
that early in the session of the Legis-
lature one will be presented for the con-
sheraton of the legislators. Portland
Press.
In this city Of late years between two
ard three hundred votes have been cast
at elections by men who had not paid
even poll tax, many of them birds of
passage who disappear soon after an
election, and are never found by the tax
collector, These votes are recorded
against the property owners, the men
who pay the taxes, and it is certainly an
evil which should be remedied.

Two Weddings.

Exchange; Two weddings which
have taken place recently have re-
ceived great attention in the news
papers, One was that of Miss Helen
Gould and the other that of Battling
Nelson, these persons being the
prominent ones in the respective
events. Miss Gould was mar
ried one day and Nelson was
married the next day. The latter is
noted because of HIS ability to knock
down his fellow man in the struggle
of the prize ring, while the latter is
noted for her effective efforts to
comfort and lift up those who have
been knocked down and out in the
struggle for existence.
The ring followers of the country
follow with interest the acts of the

Queer Egyptian Burial Customs

The Egyptians have many curious
customs in connection with the burial
of their dead and the healing of the
sick. At every Moslem funeral, for in
stance, there are hired mourners, vary
ing in number according to the wealth
Of the deceased. These funerals are al
ways headed by old blind men, carry
ing long staffs in their hands and wall
ing loudly. They are followed by the
relatives and friends of the deceased,
and then comes the coffin. This is sue
ceeded by two or three of the native
fat carts common to Cairo. filled with
women mourners. Mourning. in fact, is
quite profession among the women.
Every day you see groups of them
squatting on the ground outside the
hospital at Cairo, waiting to be hired
for a funeral.-Wide World Magazine

AN EARLY PURE FOOD LAW.
English Bakers Had to Be Careful In
the Old DAYS.

tHc Oio Lays
In the time of Edward /. of England
innkeepers were not permitted to make
either bread or beer. The former they
were obliged by law to buy from the
baker and the latter from the brewer.
In Customs of Old England F. ].
Smell declares that if the law defended
what was considered the legitimate
claim of the baker to a proper liveli-
hood it was equally sOlicitous for the
welfare of his customers and was most
severe upon the baker who sold bread
deficient in weight or quality.
For the first offense he was drawn
on hurdle through the principal
streets, which would be thronged with
people and foul with traffic, with the
offending loaf suspended from his neck.
From a pen and ink sketch of this cere-
mOny it appears that the unhappy
tradesman wore neither shoes nor
stockings and had his arms strapped
to his sides. 1t seems also that two
horses drew the hurdle, which suggests
that it ratified along at pretty lively
pace.
For the second offense the baker en-
joyed another ride upon the hurdle and
then underwent an hours exposure in
the pillory. If he proved so incorrigi-
BILE as to commit the offense third
time his oven was demolished and he
was forbidden to follow his trade.

thousand dollars which they gave their
