Before taking up the summary of the

first page of the form. it is desirable to
call attention to the classes into which
the gross income is divided: 1t is divided
INTO two classes Signi.ied at the top of
the page by the letters a. and B.
The letter "a class is that income on
which the tax has been paid either by the
individual personally or where he has
taken advantage of where the corpora
tons are paying the tax. The corpora
ttons are paying the tax where the bonds
and interest orders or coupons contain
clauses rthe effect that thebonds and
coupons shall be free from tax. There Is
q question as to whether this clause ap-
plies to the income tax. and III few cases
even where the bonds or coupons contain
these clauses. tn" corporations are not

Prophecies Not Fulfilled.

That the year 1913 was to be a
dolorous one was a prophecy MADE
in November 1912, by FrenchWo-
man long famous in her country as
a prophecies. She bears the name OF
Madame de Thebes and is declared
to have been a friend Of General
Boulanger, the younger Dumas,
and other celebrated persons. 1t is
said that Frenchwomen throng her
domicile for predictions as to what
the future has in store for them.
The dire predictions she made last
year appeared in an almanac that is
we'll known to Parisians. 1t is in
teresting to recall her fOrebodings at
this time, since their Importance was
estimated at the time at so high a
rate as to call for special kilograms
to New York newspapers:
"The marriage of the Queen OF
Luxembourg which will astound the
world, damaging France S interests
politically.
Paris will be the sccne of ter
rible theatre fire.
1.-The French troops will rush to
the frontier.
1.-The German Emperor may come
to Paris, but not as king.
''The Pope will die.
Italy will witness a political up
heaval and perhaps a new King.
"The Prince of Wales will reign.
Bulgaria will play a stupendous
role in Europe.
Nineteen hundred and thirteen,
taken as whole will be bloody
year."
Not one OF these predictions has
come true, nor has anything happen
ed to give scmblance Of the truth
to any one Of them. Unthinkins
persons might say that the predic-
ton for Bulgaria, that she will play
a stupendous role in Europe" has
been fulfilled. They should remem-
Der, however, that Bulgaria's STU
pendous role was played in 1912
had, in fact, already been played at
the time when the predictions were
made-and that in 1913 Bulgaria
was submitted to the humiliation OF
losing to Roumania valuable part
of her northern territory. and acQuir-
ing other lands bordering on the sea
that are chiefly valuable to her as
mountains and as lacking seaport.

Did the intense heat and long con-
tinued warm period last summer de-
stroy the egg-producing proclivlties
of the great American hen? Dealers
in eggs and poultry sincerely believe
that the pullets and laying hens
were in some way affected by the
heat of last summer. In no other
way can dealers account for short
age of eggs under conditions which
ordinarily would be considered ideal.
The market ought to be glutted with
eggs. Ordinarily a mild season like
we have had would be regarded as
lust right for swamp of eggs, yet
there are no eggs in this part OF the
country to speak Of. The demand is
