RIGHTLY PROUD OF CITY
Great Metropolis of New York Worthy
Admiration Accorded 1t by All
Americans.

New York, as the incoming foreign
er, full of prejudice, or doubt, or hope,
and the returning American, crammed
with guide book and catalogue culture,
see it, or might see it, rises a vision,
a mirage of the lower bay, the color
by day more shimmering that Venice,
by night more magnificent than Lon
don.
In the morning the mountains of
buildings hide themselves, to reveal
themselves in the rosy steam clouds
that chase each other across their
TANKS. When evening fades they are
mighty cliffs glimmering with glisten-
ing lights in the magic and mystery of
the night. AS the steamer moves up
the bay on the left the Great God
dess greets you, composition in color
and form with the city beyond, finer
than any in any world that ever eX-
listed, finer than Claude ever imagined,
or Turner ever dreamed. Why did
not Whistler see it?
Piling up higher and higher right
before you is New York. And what
does it remind you of? San Gimigna-
no of the beautiful towers away off in
Tuscany, only here are not eleven, but
eleven times eleven; not low, mean
brick piles, but noble palaces crowned
with gold, with green, with rose; and
over them the waving futtering plume
of steam, the emblem of New York. To
the right, filmy and lacelike by day,
are the great bridges; by night pat
tern of stars that Hiroshige never
knew.
You land in streets that are Flor
ence giorifiei. You emerge in squares
more noble than Seville. Golden stat
ues are about you, triumphal arches
make splendid frames for endless
vistas; and it is all new and I'M
touched, all to be done, and save for
the work of few of us, and we are
Americans all undone.
The Unbelievable City, the city that
has been built since l grew up, the
city beautiful, built by men I know,
built for people l know. The city that
inspires me, that love. And all Amer
lea is like this, and-all-or nearly all,
unseen, unknown, untouched.-Joseph
Pennell, in Scribner's Magazine.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton viii Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnotiCeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Government plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panies will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that it
does not affect farmers In the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits Of the big firms and com,
panies with capital of over fifty thou.
sand dollars, and even these are al.
lowed seven per cent in some cases,
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the War.-Advertiseme

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday"
pertinently remarks an exchange. "In
these days, when efficiency is so gen.
eral watchword in the world of bust
ness and labor, we are finding not so
directly that man is a knave who
drinks to excess, or even as all, as that
he is a fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an
occasional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work of both his
hands and his mind, while the habit
ual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel of the new temperance
movement"

Bungalow Not Always Cheapest Form.

Bungalow Not Always Cheapest Form.
Contrary to the general impression,
a bungalow is not the cheapest form
of house construction. Comfortable
and attractive these dwellings I'M
doubtedly are, when built under favor
able conditions, but cheap? No! Quite
the reverse.
For to be entirely successful bun
galow must be low and rambling, COW
ering a considerable plot of land and
with plenty of ground on all sides.
This necessitates large building site,
and a greater amount of cellar and,
roof than is required in the cottage
type of house.
On small lots, tightly crowded into
rows, bungalows become merely one
story fiat buildings, and as such are
most embarrassing.
