The next day the laird and his wife

BIBLE LANGUAGE.
A Revelation Of Perfection and Terss-
ness In Speech.


A correspondent called attention the
other day TO the language of the Bible
In describing a windstorm, as an eX-
ample of concise speech, as follows:
"And the winds came from the four
corners OF the earth and fell upon the
house, and 1T was not" He mentioned
it as an evidence of the simplicity and
directness of Bible language. And it
is well TO call attention to the words
and sentences of this grand old book
from time to time, for in all literature
there is none other more beautiful OF
diction, more direct or even more po-
etiCal than these ancient writings
found in the Bible.
Take the opening sentence of the
Bible as an illustration, "In the be-
ginning God created the heavens and
the earth" That is the whole story
told in ten words. You cannot go far
ther back in time-"in the beginning"
that is all there is to be said upon
the subject. A modern writer would
probably consume a dozen pages try
ing TO tell when the creation took
DllNC anu luCll ldlls DuI III ILLS NOll-
derful old book we have it stated SO
any one can understand it, and in the
only way it could be properly stated
Gin the beginning"
But one need not pick out isolated
sentences or chapters. The whole book
is a revelation Of perfection in speech.
The writings Of Paul, for instance, can
be taken as examples OF perfect die
ton. The description Of the shipwreck
when he was making his way to
Rome will stand for al time ~ the
most tnriflng narrative or n storm at
sea. His appeals to the members Of
the various congregations with whom
he correspondent may be accepted as
the best writings we have upon teach
ings of the NaZarene. The poems or
psalms Of David, written hundreds of
years prior TO the time the New Tesla
ment was written, are still the choicest
bits OF sentiment and imagination that
can be found, inspiring in their faith
and beauty and enchanting In their
eloQuence.-Dayton News.

ALL GERMAN STATES HAVE
 AN INCOME TAX SYSTEM.
Prussian Method of Raising Revenue
 Is the Most Complete

Reports received in the United States that several of the German states are preparing to make considerable in creases in their income tax levies have excited much interest, and fuller re- ports are eagerly awaited.
 The German empire, as whole, does not levy any income tax, but the twen- ty-siX states which compose the em- pire all have either complete or par tial income taxation. Their individual methods of making the levy, however, vary widely. Prussia. which includes more than half the total population of the empire. has one of the most com plete systems.
 The Prussian income tax is levied upon all Prussian subjects actually domiciled in Prussia as well as on all other persons domiciled in Prussia, q residence of one year establishing domicile within the meaning of the tax law. It also includes corporations and cooperative societies except those whose activities are charitable, scien- tic or artistic exclusively.
 Certain members of the royal fami- ly and of the nobility are exempt from the tax, as well as certain accredited diplomatic representatives. All in comes under 900 marks (about S2o0) q year are also exempt, and there are various classes of income which are exempted. including that from foreign sources and military pay.
 The PruSsian income tax before the war amounted to $S7, ,S22, GOO a year, and this was divided among 1S.SJ0,291 persons. Baden in 1908 the latest available hcurcs) raised 15600,500 marks about $3,900,OOO or nearly 36 per cent of her total budget from her income tax.
 As q general rule, the smaller Ger man states have depended more heavi-
 y upon the income tax than the larger, although SaXony raised in 1908 the sum of 51,515.O00 marks CS14.S9 .000l. or = per cent of her budget. by this means. Bavaria's income tax. on the other hand, amounted to but 5.3 per cent of her revenues. raising only 4.930 00O marks ($1. .1S0. .0001

PATENT OFFICE REVISES RULE

 suited as to Changes.

The general rules of practice before the patent office, revised to date and effective on Jan. l, received the hearty approval of Secretary of the Interior Lane on the recommendation of Thom- as Ewing, commissioner of patents.
 'The new rules," said Commissioner Ewing while elaborate and technical, make for brevity, simplification, speed and efficiency"
 A year ago Commissioner Ewing ap- pointed a committee to make a thor ough revision of the rules of practice No general revision of the rules had been made for several years.
 After ten months of work the re- suits were submitted to patent experts and patent attorneys throughout the country with the request that they give the patent office the benefit of their suggestions in respect of the pro. posed changes. Hundreds of sugges- tions were made, and all have been carefully analysed and many of them incorporated in the new rules.
 This was the first time in the history of the patent office that practitioners before the office and the inventing pub lie ever were consulted concerning the formulation of the rules and practice

 But what were you doing?" asked the lawyer.
 "Why, l just held the body of my little boy. cold in death, close to my bosom. I"- But Mrs. Sheffield could not go on. She broke down and wept bitterly. At this point there were few dry eyes in the courtroom.

HOW ABOUT TT

Some Of the Cummins newspapers
are almost having Mysteries because
some democrats voted for Harding"
says the Coon Rapids Enterprise. But
when democrats were voting for Cum
minis democratic support was invited
and democrats who thus deserted their
party were great patriots"
All this is very true. But, inasmuch
as the esteemed Enterprise has raised
the question, will the editor be kind
enough to tell his readers what he
thought of republicans appealing to
democrats for support in those Cum
minis days, and, is he still of the same
opinion now on this subject? If the
Enterprise opposed Cummins because
in his various campaigns he received
democratic support, will the same rule
be applied in the case of Harding?
There doesn't appear to be any evil
dence controverting the claim that
thousands Of democrats voted for Har-
ding in the primary. The excess of
republican votes over those polled in
any other primary election held since
the primary law became operative, was
nearly fifty thousand.
Editors Of the standpat republican
papers do not, as a rule, expect very
much in the way of circumspect ra-
tional or reasonable conduct on the
part Of "Cummins papers" Because Of
their own critical attitude, there is
warrant for the expectation that they
will set a better example of consist
ency than those papers which they
criticise. A newspaper that opposed
Cummins because he was supported by
democrats will, if it is consistent, OPP
pose Mr.. Harding on the same grounds.
There were 1000 more ballots used in
the republican primary which nomi-
mated Harding than were cast in the
Cummins Allison primary. If demo-
Gratis voted before, and they did, more
voted this time
