Wil Peunsylvania Katify 7
If the coming session of the Peun-
gylvania Legisiature is as progressive
88 progressive newspapers say it will
be, then undoubtedly it will ratify the
income tax smendment to the consti
tution of the Uuited States, The pro-
posed amendment is of Democratic
parentage and provides for a very fair
tax. The revenue resulting from the
imposition of the tax will go a great
ways toward simplifying the problem
of supporting the government,
The ratification of only two addi-
tional legisiatures is necessary for the
amendment. Thirty-four states have
already approved the proposition and
it is reasonable to believe that of the
ten states which have not taken floal
sotion at least two will act favorably.
The states which have not acted finally
are Virginia, West Virginia, New
Mexico, Massachusetts, Florida aod
Delaware. Recent Democratic suc
cedues in a number of these states give
assurance that ratification will epeue
in reveral of these. A few of them al-
ready have had sction in one or the
other branch of the legislature, but as
new legislative bodies have come up
they may have to begin over,

A Wonderful Moss,
Oue of the most wonderful spect
mens of vegetable life known to the
botanist is the “life moss’ of Jamalca,
Barbados and other of the West In-
dfap islands. There are several spe
vies of tropieal plants which bave re
matrkable tenacity of life, but the “life
moss” and the story of its vitality are
almost beyond belief, its powers to
five under adverse circumstances be-
ing certainly beyond that of any osher
tnown plant. It appears to be abso-
lutely indestructible by any weans ex.
cept by immersion in boiling water or
the application of a redhot iron to its
roots and branching vines. It may be
cut up and divided Into infinitesimal
particles, and then the very smallest
ghred will throw out roots and soon
grow and form new branches and
buds, Specimens of this extraordinary
plant bave been suspended in the alr
in a dry, bot room; they have been
placed in close, air tight dark boxes,
without moisture of any sort, and yet
they lived, grew and flourished.
A Sundial That “Struck.”
Parls is sald to posses more sundials
than any other city in the world. In
the eighteenth century the sundial was
popular in Paris. Every day at noon
the sundial of the Palais Royal was the
center of interest of an eager crowd
A writer tells of a “great crowd in the
corner of the Palals Royal garden,
standing motionless, with their noses
in the air.” Each was waiting for
noon, having his watch In hand, ready
to set at 12 o'clock. When the Duke
of Orleans was altering the palace In
1782 the Parisinns were much dis-
turbed, thinking that they were to be
deprived of thelr favorite sundial. But
the duke not only preserved the sun-
dial, but added to it a little powder
magazine, which was so arranged that
it exploded when the sunlight fell upon
it, thus notifying every one who heard
the explosion that the hour of noon
had arrived. Later a cannon, which
was discharged by the sun at noon,
gave the signal
information Not Needed.
A middie aged woman went into a
shop and without hesitation made
straight for the crape counter. The
girl who handled this funeral material
was extremely affable,
“We have a large stock of crapes’
she explained. “Let me SOW you some
new French goods, very popular at this
time for every kind of mourning and
designed to express every degree of
grief. If you will tell me for whom
you are in mourning I can fix you out
in exactly the right thing.”
“Husband,” replied the
briefly.
“In that case.” said the girl gracious

woman angrily, “sou needn't bother

Harlem In New York
In 1636 there was a settlement at
the foot of a little hill in New York
city which the settlers called Slang
Berge, or Snake Hill, but which is now
called Mount Morris. As the settle
ment grew each Dutchumn who lived
there wanted to name It after his na-
tive town. But as each one had come
from a different place In Holland they
could not agree. Governor Stuyvesant
made careful Inquiries, and, finding
that no one had come from Haarlem,
he nipped all neighborly jealousies io
the bud by naming It Nieuw Haarlem.

* The Boy's Mistake,
The teacher asked, “When did Moses
Uve?
After the silence had become painful
she ordered: “Open your Old Testa-
ments. What does it say there?”
A boy answered, “Moses, 4000 B. CO"
“Now.” sald the teacher, “why didn't
you know when Moses lived?”
“Well,” replied the boy. “1 thought
4000 B. C. was his telephone number.”

“What ia the meaning of ‘alter ego?”
asked the teacher of the beginners’
class in Latin,
“The other I,” sald the boy with the

“Give a sentence containing the

“He winked his alter ego.”
