Money Value OF Women.

II you are married woman, and
were asked to tell just what you were
worth in hard cash to your husband,
what figure would you name? The
question Is not a fanciful one by any
means, but has been subject Of jul
dicial consideration
1t was this way: The wife Of an
Iowa farmer bought a gallon Of what
purported to be kerosene, but which
was afterward shown to be 81 per
cent. gasoline When the woman used
some of it to start fire with the stuff
exploded, and she was burnt to death
and her three children were seriously
injured The womans husband sued
the dealers for damages, and the jury
awarded him $25 for the loss Of his
wife and $29971 per child on account
of injuries.
The defendants evidently thought
that woman was not worth $25, for
they took an appeal from the verdict.
The learned court, however, declined
to look at it In that light, and the
Judgment was afirmed,-NeW York

Tenth Century Nesea,

Money values in the gSPth century
were very low, accordinga ! tour ideas,
but as the purchasing poNAE Of money
then equaled from eight to twenty
times what 1t ia today, one must not
hasten comparison. In Athelstanes
time horse vas worth 100 shillings,
an OK 80 pses a cow 20 pence, a
sheep pence, H,s pence, slave
20 shillings, making slave worth
eight oxen, and these prices, except
In times Of famine, appear to have
changed little under the Norman. In
1856 wheat sold at Is pence the quar-

Twisting the top of the bag together

He knew that when she reached

instead Of six eggs she would be so
delighted with the supposition that
she had overreac hed him that she

Amsterdam (via LondOn), Sept s.
The inhabitants Of LiGge have been
officially prohibited by the Germans
from leaving their houses for three
days, so that they may not see the
large bodies of troops returning to
Germany. During all of last night
German troops were crossing the
bridge Just north of Wise. The railway
lines Of Belgium are guarded by de-
tachments of German sailors, who
came without arms. thus proving that
the German reserves are becoming eX-
kausted. The Germans advanced from
Termonde, and almost to Client, where
there were only q few detachments Of
Relgian volunteers, who, naturally,
could not face q strong force armed
with heavy guns and maxims.
A German doctor at Londonheel has
stated that the German losses in the
recent fighting at Cappelle.au- -Bois
amounted to more than 1000. The vii
lage of Lokeren, twelve miles north
cast Of Client, is occupied By Germans

Amendments to Law and
Beer Expected to Fur
nish $68,OOO,OOO.
IMPOSTS ON WINE
TO RAISE $1O,OOO,OOO
Spirits, Gasolene, Pullman Tick
cts, Playing Cards, Cigarettes
to Provide the Rest.

Washington, Sept. S.--Democrats of
the Ways and Means Committee prac-
tically decided to-day that beer drink
ers and income tax payers shall pro-
duce the bulk of the annual 100000
600 in additional revenue asked for in
the Presidents recent special message.
They agreed that the tax on beer
shall be increased to 90 cents barrel,
and this, it is estimated, will raise
S53 100000, Amendments TO the income
tax law, reducing the exemption limit
and increasing the normal tax rate
from l to I Il per cent, are depended
upon to raise an additional 3j,000,000.
There is to be a tax on wine of 20
cents gallon, raising approximately
Sl0,000,000, and tax of two cents
gallon on the bottlng of rectifed
spirits, producing another S2,O0O,O0O.
The remainder of the needed reve
nue., according to present plans, is to
be raised by slight tax on gssolene,
Pullman tickets, playing cards, and
probably cigarettes. There may be
slight increase proposed in the num-
Der of minor articles taxed when the
committee meets Thursday 20 complete
it's bill At this time the Democrats
expect to have comprehensive esti-
mates from the Treasury Department
of the revenue-producing qualities OF
the articles named.
The proposed income tax law amend
ments contemplate that the amount eE-
empt from the normal tax shall be
$1,000 in the case Of single men and
$4,000 in the case Of men with fami-
lies. The rate Of taxation from these
figures UP TO $4,000 will be IL per
cent, instead of per cent, as at pres
enf The one-half per cent increase
will continue automatically all along
the line, so that the higher incomes
will pay proportionately.
There is still feeling among GER
tain members of the committee that
railroad tickets and freight bllis
should be taxed, but the idea has made
no headway and will be abandoned.
Senator Fall introduced resolution
in the Senate to-day directing the
Finance Committee to investigate the
feasibility of taxing excess prices on
wheat, corn and other food products.
There is more than enough Of these
commodities. he says, 70 meet the do
mestic demands and leave an ample
surplus for export. His proposition IS
10 impose a tax of 90 per cent on the
price charged for wheat above 81
bushel and on corn above 10 cents q
bushel. This tax, he asserts, would
not only provide additional revenue,
Inf tend to prevent spectators from
boosting the prices of these food prod
