store orders but that they represented so much cash and were a convenient cash circulating medium for the con venience of workmen. If a circulating medium is the simil itude of money, they are taxable under the act of Congress at the rate of ten percent, every time they are issued, and as the officers of the company pub licly declared that they were simply cash orders, the collector of internal revenue for the district investigated the subject and decided, upon the state ments of the parties issuing them, that they were a circulating medium and as sessed the lawful tax upon them. When notified of the tax, which was ten per cent, on some s6o,ooo.the officers of the company appealed the case to Commis sioner Miller, of the internal revenue department, on the ground that the coupons are trade or store orders and not a cash circulating medium. The commissioner refuses to give any infor mation on the subject, but it is known that the appeal is before him, and that he must decide either that they are a cash circulating medium and tax them, or that they are store orders and de clare that they are not taxable. In view of the political prominence given to the store order question iu several Penn sylvania contests, including governor and congressmen, it excites general in terest in Washington political circles. How a Farmer Shaves. To witness a farmer shave is ono of the most painful operations ever witnessed outside of downright butch ery. For some reason away beyond the depth of present knowledge, the man who breads the country always has a beard like a new hair brush,and he never could learn how to sharpen a razor. He gets on the back stoop with his shaving utensils, and after rubbing the razor over the strap in an awk ward fashion until whatever trace of eige it may have had has been de stroyed, he hangs up his broken glass and takes a position alongside the kitchen door, where the old lady will be sure to jostle bis arm when she goes out to empty her dish water. With a brush that has but little handle remaining, he manages some how to stir up a lot of lather from soap that would raise a blister on the bottom of a boy's foot in dog days, with which he coats his face till noth ing but his eyes and the back of bis head are visible. With a cob dipped in warm water be goes over the stub ble with a vigor that makes the flesh creep, until he feels tLat all the reas on able precautions for comfort in the subsequent operation have been taken. Taking tbe razor and looking at it suspiciously over the top of his glass es, he runs his thumb along the edge, fails to draw blood as be had hoped, and then with a sigh like leaving a town in a hurry, he grabs himself by the nose, shuts his eyes, and gives a scrape that makes his hair stand on end as a bunch of beard seems to come out by the roots- But once at it a terrible desperation seems to nerve him, and with teeth set he goes right on with a determin ation to get the agony over as soon as possible. Howls of woe break from him bow and then, as an expression that poisons life steals over his face and stops there till the last nerve has been pulled out of socket by that ter rible razor, and the last bit of stubble has been laid low, when, with a sigh of relief, he strikes up a hymn of thanksgiving and joyfully throws his shaving paper into the swill barrel near by.—Ex.
