where he is, pure and without blem.
ish-that is to say, somewhere half
way between his deliberate simplicity,
between his propensities of some.
what didactic kind, and between the
lyrism, also too conscious and slightly
declamatory Of the great odes-you
find something of altogether superior
quality. Wordsworth is a very great
poet, and at the same time one Of
those who lend themselves best to
everyday intercourse puissant and
beneficent writer who elevates US and
makes US happy. We must not be as
tonished if he is in the way
Of taking rank among the classics Of
his country; for his beauties are those
which time consecrates. - Edmund

The LARGEST Tree.

The most remarkable TREE In the
world, perhaps, is the banyan of In
dia. A tree of this species, on an
island in the NerbudGa river, is be-
lieved to be the same one that is men
toned by Alexander the Great. The
branches send down numerous aerial
roots that grow down to the soil and
form props or additional trunks, un-
til a single tree often covers so large
an area that it will shelter thousands
Of men. At the time of Alexander the
Greats visit one tree covered so ex-
tensive an area that it sheltered TO-
600 men. Under the protecting shade
Of these trees the Indian merchants
still conduct their markets. The mer
chants are known as "banians," be
cause they abstained from meat for
many centuries, but modern customs
have driven out many Of the Hindu's
traditions.-The Peoples Home Jour

How to Make Soap Powder,

All hard soaps may be reduced to

ufatlon with a pestle and mortar. but
the operation is generally confined to
cosmetic soaps. The soap being pre-
Flousiy perfumed in the usual way, Is
cut into shavings, and these are laid
upon sheets of paper and placed in the
crying room or dried in any convenient
way. AS soon as the shavings be-
come brittle they are in a condition
for powdering. Small quantities at
a time should be carefully reduced to
Il powder in mortar, and the powder.

the fine powder being placed In a jar

particles retained by the sieve should
then be pulverized and sifted as be-
fore, until the entire quantity is re-

SODA FOUNTAIN TAX
PILES UP REVENUE

The amount of luxury tax to be de-
rived from the soda fountains of the
Connecticut internal revenue district
under the law which went into effect
on May l, will exceed $60,567 monthly
according to an estimate given by Col
lector James J. Walsh whose district
includes Rhode Island as we'll as the
whole of this state.
The one. two, and three cent taxes
paid by the thirsty soda fountain
habitues. will, in the opinion of Mr..
Walsh, total more than those of the
combined tax on moving picture ad-
mission fee; the tax on admission fees
to all places of amusement; the tax on
club dues: on yachts and other pleas
ure boats; and on pool and billiard
tables
During the tax year of 1917 and 1918
which began July l. 1917 and ended
June 80. 1918, the aggregate amount
of taxes for these amusements was
1886, 545.17. OF this amount, 500,39415
was derived from the tax on admission
fees to all places of amusement; $685.,
947.92 was the amount of tax on club
dues that exceeded s12; $14,176.7o was
contributed by owners of pleasure
boats; and s26,0S6.40 was the amount
collected on pool and billiard tables
This year the tax on the latter two has
been doubled and on these alone it will
aggregate approximately S80,526.
The total amount of revenue derived
from the above sources for the year
ending June so, 1920, will be about
s127,000, or an average of s60,576 81
monthly.

PENALTY FOR VIOLATING
TAX REVENUE LAW

Collector of Internal Revenue James
J. Walsh calls attention to the fact
that the government is dealing prompt
ly and rigidly with violators of Section
1873 of the new revenue bill. This
section concerns profiteering. by as
cribing through a false statement
written or oral. any part of a price to
tax imposed by the United States
government, knowing that the tax i'm
posed is not so great as the price as
cribed.
James NJ. Murray, proprietor of a
store at Annapolis Junction, Mr., and
president of the George NJ. Murray
Sons Canning company, will be ar
raigned before United States Commits

the charge of violating Section 1919 OF
the new revenue bill by misrepresent-
ing the tax on his wares to increase
his prices.
Murray was arrested on complaint
of internal revenue agents who visited
his store and bought ice cream an6
soft drinks. 1t is alleged he displayed

| prices due to the tax and in excess
of the amount imposed. He was taker

Fire-Eaters Trick.

The fire king, as he is billed in
shows and circuses, is known as a
'Tiving gas Jet" He first shows his
mouth empty. then takes a lighted
match and holds it about six inches
from his mouth. He then blows upon
the flame, and his breath takes fire.
The explanation of this puzzling per-
Torrance is simple. The performer
secretes about his person a small
sponge saturated with gasoline, which
he surreptitiously introduces into his
mouth. When he blows upon the
match, his breath takes fire. The per-
former must close his lips Immediate
ly after exhaling.
