British Income Tax,

Seventy-four years ago an act Of
parliament was passed which is still
very vigorous and doing its bit" in
the war, the London Chronicle states.
1t was the famous income tax act OF
1912, brought in by Peel to maize up
the loss Of revenue caused by his re.
form Of the tariff, and most Of its pro.
visions have been reimposed each year
ever since. It was intended to be
onhy temporary measure, but both
Peel and Lord Russell renewed it, and
Gladstone passed a continuing act in
1853, which extended the income tax
to Ireland, it having applied previous.
ly to Great Britain only.
Our income tax is, however, older
than Peel, for it was first imposed
in 1899 to raise funds for the carry
ing On Of the war with France, and
continued year by year until 1916, the
year after Waterloo. For the next
quarter &C a century happy days)!
there wa; no income tax, but since
1912 its yiold has steadily grown, and
it now FORMS g permanent part Of the
fiscal system. In 1899 at Is In the
pound sterling. it produced 26,000,00G;
in 1914 at Is Sd it produced s69,.
100000. The highest rate between 1872
and 1914 was Is Sd, in 1902 (for the
Boer war;; the lowest rate, I'd, was
reached in 1874.

FOUND SOURCE OF REAL FUN
Eunice's Demonstration of Extrav-
asanee Surprised and Pleased at
the Same Time.

"A suit like the blue you can wear
through two seasons" the sa1eswoman
said. "Of course the brown Is good
suit, too, but it hasn't equally fine
lines. The difference in price is only
five dollars"
Eunice Morgan looked at the brown
suit as it was reflected in the mirror;
her delicate brows were drawn togeth-
er in a frown. She had not been pay
ing much heed to the saleswoman, but
the last words caught her attention
It suddenly seemed to her that all her
life she had been buying the cheaper
thing and being discontented with it
when a few more cents or few more
dollars would nave given her the joy
Of satisfied desires. In her revulsion
against the constant fret, she declared
to herself that for once she would have
what she liked, no matter what else
she had to do without.
"Well?" Sally Pennock inquired
Eunice had taken Sally along for NOR
al support-which, being interpreted,
meant to tell her that the cheaper
thing was the most becoming. Eunice
drew a long breath.
"Oh, suppose I'm going to be wise,'
she said, and hate being wise"
Brown is always becoming to you"
Sally declared Loyalty. "I think you'll
like it, Eunice-truly, do"
But when it came home Eunice did
not like it. She liked it even less than
she had at the store. She was stand
ing before the glass with tears of vex-
alton in her eyes, when there came a
knock at the door, and she turned to
see Jennie Scott with her bundle OF
laundry. Jennie's eyes widened admir-
.ngly.
20 Miss Eunice," she cried, isn't
it lovely! You look beautiful In it."
Eunice smiled. No one could have
resisted Jennie's eyes.
Il wish liked 1t half as well as you
do" she replied.
Jennie's adoring face grew wistfuL
1T must be so beautiful to match" she
said. Some day" she nesltated and
then went boldly on-"some day, Miss
Eunice, I'm going to have whole suit.
l have almost five dollars saved. But
when It seems a long time to wait,
I just remember that eyeryone's wait
ing for something, and then, you know
grow ashamed"
Eunice looked from her own new
suit to the shabby, brave little figure
Jennie" she exclaimed, II have an
idea! Will you come around once a.
week and mend for me an hour
gloves and skirt bindings and things?
I'll gladly pay twenty-five cents a.
week, and that will be eight dollars
to add to your hve by next spring"
20 Miss Eunice!" Jennie cried.
As the girls happy feet ran down
the stairs, Eunice took of the suit.
"For once" she said to herself, I've.
been e1traYagant, and it's the best fun,

La Uniform.

It seems that over there where the
war is, if any civilian goes to the
front, upon any Of the grave missions
which permit a civilian to get within
the lines, he thinks it necessary to
adopt sort Of uniform. He rigs him.
self up like a Richard Harding Davis
war correspondent, in riding breeches
and the leggings that go with them.
Not long ago, according to report, two
high officials of the civilian admins
tration in Paris went to view the
trenches on official business-more or
less. Both followed the fashion. NJ.
s. was equipped with fine nodded
pigskin leggings, M. L. wore put
tees, the kind that wrap round and
round in spirals.
A general and a couple Of colonels
were on hand to receive the eminent
visitors when they left the train at
the last station behind the front. As
they dismounted from the special COM
Dartment it was observed that M.
s. had his leggings on backwards,
giving the extraordinary effect Of
wearing the calves Of his legs in front,
while M. L. had not taken five
steps before his puttees came un-
wound, and trailed sadly upon the
earth, revealing a pair Of slender shins
garnished with stockings Of tender
purple silk. The general and the
colonels did not even dare to laugh.

DRIVING AWAY DEMONS
ANCIENT CEREMONY RECENTLY
HELD IN JAPAN.
Superstition Dying Slowly in the En-
pire of the Mikado-Has Been an
Annual Custom for Twelve
Hundred Years.

Ceremonies were held recently
throughout the Japanese empire-ln
household, shrine and temple-to drive
away the demons Of ill-fortune. The
date corresponds to the old Chinese
New Year, marking the transition from
winter to spring under the ancient cal
endar.
Tradition long observed in Japan
holds the demons Of i'll luck may be
kept away during the year by pelting
them with hard beans and by hanging
outside the door a branch Of holly
hook and the head Of herring. The
idea is that the herring, whose odor
is distasteful to the demon, will keep
the evil one from entering the house,
and that if he succeeds in entering he
will be blinded by the beans. Each
member of the household takes as
many beans as he has years, and
throws them in all directions and iH
all the rooms Of his house.
It was about 1000 years ago, dur
ing the reign Of the Emperor Monbu
that the first ceremony Of demon re-
moving was held in Japan. Adopting
the rite from China, the emperor in
corporated it with the object Of stamp
ing cut an epidemic that ragged
throughout the land.
The recent modern celebration was
like this: Toward evening house
wives become busy preparing for the
celebration; beans are cracking IN
kettles and feasts are prepared for
the family god and the family. Mean
while the husbands clean the shrine,
light the sacred lights and burn in
cense, while awaiting the beans and
the feast.
Parched beans are offered in wood
en- box to the family god, and the fam
ly clap their hands and reverently bow
before the shrine Then the master
carrying the box Of beans, starts round
his house, followed by his children to
pelt out the demons Of misfortune.
When he throws beans toward the di-
rection Of the god Of good fortune he
cries out: Come in, fortune!" and
when he pelts toward the other direc-
ton he shouts: go out, demons!"
Children gather the scattered beans
and vie with each other in seeing who
gets most
There is a superstition regarding
the word bean which may explain
why it plays such a part in the cere-
mony. The Japanese for bean" Is
name" and name" means health
Therefore the bean is the emblem OF
good fortune.

ssmmsrson Demonstration Clnb.

Summerton Home Demonstration
Club held its regular meeting in the
school house, Wednesday afternoon
May the third.
The attendance this time was un-
usually small but two new members
were enrolled. In the absence OF the
president vice-president and secretary
Mrs. Grady Walker prasided. The reg
ular roll cali was omitted those present
giving outat;ons as their names were
called by the presiding officer. After
singing OF the Club Song the regular
work of the afternoon was taken up.
The subject for study was "Veeeta-
bles and Fruits as Food" Selections
were read On the subject, then Miss
Richardson, Cur efficient Denonstra-
tion Agent, talked along this line. The
making of a quick salad was then dem
onstrated by her. This salad was serY
ed with some lima beans which one OF
the ladies had prepared in hreless
cooker. Both were pronounced excel
lent by all.
Miss Richardson then showed an
iceless refrigerator which will be very
helpful to housekeepers in keeping
milk and cold vegetables. She also
showed Hy trap which il used will do
much towards eliminating the flies in
the back yard, stables, and elsewhere,
Instructions for making these articles
were given to all present and it IS
hoped that they will carry out these
Instructions and soon install both ar
ticlcs in their homes.
Miss Richardson then told of the In
stitute which is to be held in July for
the purpose OF instruct:ng all the Clubs
under her supervision. Many promln-
ent speakers are to be on hand at that
time. The Summerton Club asked
that this meeting be held here. We
hope to have all the members OF the
other clubs take part with US in this
Institute.
The subject for study next time be-
ing, "Serving of Meals" it was decid.
ed to hold the meeting in the home of
some member of the club.
There being no further business, the
benediction was said and the Club ad-
journed to meet again Wednesday al
ternoon, May 3lst.

In Some Tribes Several SWANS Served

Some customs prevailing in certain
parts Of the Sudan have been enter
tainingly described in series OF let
ters which an English traveller, a MIN
lister Of education, has written to MS
wife who is visiting America.
He came across certain tribes where
the women, he says, seem to have
passed the limits Of even American
women" and he naively adds that but
for the distance from Cairo and the
wildness Of the country he would will
ingly pass several months IN the midst
Of these good folk in order to learn
the meaning Of virtue in both the an
cient and the modern sense OF the
word:
zone girl may have as many as from
seven to fifteen wooers, who court
and firt with her for whole year IN
the sight Of her parents. They not
only visit her in the daytime, but re-
main at night near her dwelling to
mount guard outsids her room, going
so far even as to keep watch within
her room in order to be at her sery-
ice in case she should awake.
"If she asks for water, as many
calabashes Of water are offered to her
as there are lovers in attendance.
Should she desire to pay calls on her
friends the whole Of her lovers offer
to carry her palanquin, and again it is
the aspirants to her hand who under
take to anoint her with butter every
morning. The period Of courtsh1p
lasts for a year, at the end OF which
period the beauty must make her
choice. When she does so the un-
successful wooers go away to repeat
their performance with another girl.
These maidens are black and, NOM
inally at least, Mohammedans, but IN
the matter of rights and liberties they
have little to learn. The Shilluks OF
the White Nile, on the other hand, are
as far as possible from being Moham-
medans, yet their women have SINH
lar privileges.
with the Shilluks it is the women
that rule the household, the young
women themselves that choose their
husbands and that, once married, as
sumo the post of command. The
