Income Revenue Commissioner Ro-
per holds that Congressman will have
TO pay income tax and the occupa-
tional tax which operate on incomes
Of $4,000 and over. The law ex-
empts officers and employees of the
government, but that official holds
that Congressman are neither. So
much criticism has been made on the
exemption Of Congressmen's salaries
that the House already has passed n
bill removing the exemption and IL
has been sent to the Senate. There
should be no making of fish out Of
one class and fowls out Of another,
but everybody should be made to po-
ny up for the prosecution Of the war.
A member has introduced a bill to
prevent the intoxication Of the mem
bers Of the General Assembly and
the committee. TO which the bill was
referred, has asked him to name the
number of drinks a member may
take and define the meaning of in
toxication, thus treating serious
matter facetiously. II is reported
that some men from dry districts can
not forego the longing for drink, es-
peoially in a town where there are
almost as many bar rooms as other
business houses. II is a shame.
The occasion Of the passing Of a
resolution by the Covington school
board excluding the study Of Ger
man from the public schools, was
made great popular demonstra
ton and the widest scenes Of JUDI
lation followed. Some fiery speech

can-pro-German was lkened to a
snake and should be treated as one

A woman at Vincennes, Ind. has
just married her fourth husband. She
evidently believes that marriage is q
lottery and having lost out in play

to play it until she either wins or

Small Prescriptions.

Many physicians have habit of
writing prescriptions without calcu-
!ating the quantity of medicine their
1"ticnts are To take. This leads to a
great waste of drugs and much un-
necessary expense. Which leads the
New York Medical Journal to urge
physicians to be more careful.
Another evil result Of this far too
c"illnon practice. is that partly used
prescriptions are stored away in the
.""dicine chest, and next time the pa
,icnt has, or thinks he has, the same
y0lptoms, he takes what he supposes
- be the same medicine.
Eut the chief reason why physi-
,i2ns should not prescribe four or six
ounces when they know only one or
tWO will be used, is that it is wasting
;he drugs and making the patient pay
far more for his medicine than is at
all necessary.

First Introduced Canes.

The MeXicans first used canes in
America. When the Spanish con-
qucred the country, a queer custom
was introduced. The chief executive
cf the towns carried a stick with a
gold or silver head. 1t was a kind
cf scepter.
The people, of course, rarely knew
how to read or write, and when any
one was wanted for a crime, one of
the mayors subOrdinates would take
the cane, find the culprit and place
1t horizontally upon the latter's chest.
The proceeding was equivalent to
a summons, and the man had to ap-
pear before the mayor under the pen
atty of being cast into prison. This
action was borrowed from Spain,
where it still prevails in the more i'm
portant actions.

An opinion has been rendered In the
case of Philemon Dill VS.. Mrs. Susan
Karcher, his daughter, in which a deed
had been made by Dill prior to his
death, a year or more ago. in favor of
his daughter, to a part of his farm in
the Sixth Representative district of
Kent county. A petition was pre-
sented to Chancellor Curtis, in the
Court of Chancery, to have the deed
set aside, on the ground of undue in
fluence. The consideration in the deed
of the property to his daughter was
nominal love and affection. The
grantor reserved life-interest in the
estate. William Watson Harrington
represented the complainants and Hon.
James H. Hughes represented the re-
spondents. The opinion of the Chan
cellor uphOlds the respondents which
makes the deed valid.

Gladstone 4 Hard Wnrker.

Gladstone was a hard worker, with
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political RESPONSE
bilities of the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-scOre
years and more, just as Pope Leo
XIII, turned to Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and lived on beyond four-score and
ten, living so hopefully that when,
at the little dinner given him on his
ninetieth birthday, one of the cardin-
ais said, in proposing a toast to him,
Here's that you may live to be a
hundred, holy father" the old pOntiff
replied: "But why limit me to a
hundred?"
They were contemporaries of Ranke,
the German historian, who at the age
of ninety-One proposed to write a his
tory of the world in II volumes, one
volume to be completed each year,
and actually lived, l believe, to COM
plete nearly half of it.
These men had no breads; but they
allowed their energies to work on,
without any fear of exhausting their
vitality.

SHOULD SALUTE THE FLAG
Virginian Who Has Lived Abroad
Urges Reverence for the Emblem
of the Country.

"Why does the average American
not salute the f1ag?" asked r. 0. Out
cault, Virginian who has lived abroad
for the last ten years, according to the
Washington Post.
"On the day Of the draft parade in
Washington the only man l saw salut-
ing the regimental cOlOrs was police
man, probably an old soldier who has
learned the love and reverence which
every man who has served feels for
the flag. When 1 and the friend with
me-a Britisher-bared our heads
every time the flag of a regiment went
past a few persons in the crowd be-
gan, somewhat shamefacedly, to fol-
low our example.
'In London or in Paris you would
have no choice. Any man who kept
his hat on when the cOlOrs Of a regi.
ment passed would have it knocked of
for him, if nothing worse happened to
him. 1 do not mean, of course, that
one should salute the thousand and
one flags carried in such a procession,
but every one should at least bare his
head when a regimental flag goes past.
That's what thousands of men are 60
ing to die for before we are twelve
months older. The least one can do is
to salute it while we can before it
goes somewhere in France"

Find Skeleton of Giant.

A perfect sketeleton was uncovered
in Surrey, England, during the work
of carrying out alterations to surface
water drainage in one of the main
streets in Farnham. The chief bones
were in perfect state of preservation,
and were sufficient to show that the
body was that of a man of unusual
stature. Close by was found a bone
Of a horse. The site of Norman GEM
"tCry is only a little distance from the
SPOT where the body was found, and
here some years ago cinerary urns
were discovered, which were stated to

served in Waverly abbey.

A man and wife sat at the table at
their home trying to draw the outline
map of Europe, from memory. OBJ

soon found that they knew little about
It. They had been reading of European
events for years. and yet when they
came to putting their mind picture of
the continent on paper they forgot their
geography entirely. The man had read
Anabasis and Homer in the original
and yet put Greece between the Adri-

Austria ont altogether. The wife had
