Bridal Array Costly.

Brides all over the world like to
make the best display possible on
their wedding day, and the bridal at
tire of the various countries is inva-
riably both costly and beautiful. For
sheer gorgeousness, however, it would
be hard to rival the wedding finery of
the bellies of the island of Sumatra.
The dress is woven entirely of gold
thread, and its weight is so great that
the wearer a hardly move; wen
standing up requires a distinct effort.
Apart from this shimmering, golden
garment, the bride Is loaded down
with gold ornaments, rings, bangles,
earrings, pendants, girdles and neck
laces and sundry ornamental purses
of the same metal. The huge orna-
ments hanging on chains around her
neck are hollow, but all the smaller
charms are of solid native gold, most
massivcly wrought. One might almost
think that the natives, having heard
something about a good wife being
worth her weight in gold had set
out to prove the fact by loading their
quaint little brides with the actual
equivalent Of their weight in the pre-
cious metal.

SOME REMARKS ON INCOMES
Pertinent Just Now When the Subject
Is a Matter of General
Discussion.

Incomes are now being taxed. 1t is,
therefore, desirable that something
should be known about them. An in
come Is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed in terms of law.
full money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the mem
Oers of a state legislature, or a police
captain, or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes; to lie about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will not have to pay any are complain
ing to their friends and neighbors
about the way they are oppressed by
the income tax. This is one of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary in size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present. No income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family it is
vainly attempting to support. Here it
is generally despised and looked down
upon.
An income tax is an effort on the
part of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also to
support the government in it's main
business in life, namely, living beyond
its income.
The government, which receives a
larger income than any one else,
should be taxed upon it. The pro-
ceeds might go toward relieving mil
lionaires in distress.
Every income is known by the com.
pany it keeps.-Life.
