FIRE INSU RANCE TAXES
A proposition now pends in the leg-
‘islatare of great importance to the.
home insurance companies of Pennsyl-
* vania. It contemplates paying to them
one-half of the proceeds of the tax
levied by the state on the gross pre-’
miums on foreign insurance companies
transacting business within the com-
monwesalth.
The measure may be objected to by
‘the home insurance companies on the
-ground that they ought to get all the
proceeds of the tax, which is intended
obviously as a measure of protection
for their benefit. In retaining one half,
however, the state is reimbursing iterif
‘for the expense of collecting the fax,
and if there is any residue it may be
withheld as a tax on the horse com-
panies themselves.
The tax on the foreign companies
seems to be amply jostified not only
on general prudential griund, but on
“the ground ur precedent. Most of the
states levy soch a tax, but all do not
dispose of the proceeds in the same
manner. Those Pennsylvania com-
panies which have, for instance, agen- |

FARMING NOTES
Of Interest to the Farmers Who Read the
‘Patton “Courier.”
Green peas may be planted just as.
soon as the grotind permits. They are
hardy and thrive best when planted
early in the season.
Seed corn freezes if exposed to severe
“cold, but the liability to injure depends
upon the amount of moisture in the
corn. [It should be dry and kept in a
dry place. Any precaution used in
caring for the seed corn may prevent
loss in the spring.
Unless you feed so well that your
stock makes a constant . gain, you are
losing your feed, at least, and probably
something more. Keep your eye open
. all the time to note any possible loss of
appetite as that will quickly be fol-
‘lowed by a loss of flesh,
! Feeding economically is to supply
' the food in such a manner as to insure
thorough mastication and digestion.
Wheat grains being hard and wmall,
when fed to hogs they should be
either ground or soaked until soft;
should stand in water or milk 24 hours.
The production of fat in sheep re-
! quires starchy and oily foods to fill up
‘ the tissues and store np material for
more from albummoids, bran oil meal
and the class of foods best for the de-
velopement of bone and muscle rather
than fat.
Snow does more injury to manure
heape than rain. The rain may ron off
rapidly, and not carry away so much
of the soluble matter, but snow covers.

the creation of warmth within the

A French econmist has been figuring
up the number of dairy cows in the

The bill is a good and sensible one.
. PARTIAL oLEO REPEAL.
In regard to the oleomargarine law '
the Pittsburg Press editorially says:
Af the legisiature cannot be in-
duced to repeal the olemargarine law
80 far as to permit both the manufac-
tare of oleomargarine in the State and
ite sale as such, at least it ought to re- |
peal the clanse which prohibits the sale ¢
of the food as such. All that the State
has any moral right to do is to prohibit |
the sale of oleomargarine as butter. To Wheat,
reduce ibe problem to this simple R
basis does not, however, seem feasible.
Great is the granger vote.
“The oleomargarine people will make
an effort to secure partial repeal. If
they succeed in this, they will secure
not complete justice, but partial justice,
and such absurd and outrageous farces
as those now proceeding in the name
of the law at Emsworth will be done
away with. It looks like an extra-con-
stitational proceeding for the State to
say even so much aa that’ ‘‘oleo” shall
not be manufactured here. But to say |
that no man shall bay it or no man sell
“it. unless it is sold as grease or axle
grease, instead of what it is, seems like
. downright tyranny, and a flagrant
violation of personal rights. For the
State to assume the fumction of pre-
scribing what name a certain product
shall bear, and put s man in jail if he

is a law in France in which
the various forms of unsoundness to
which the horse is subject are described,
‘and which further provides that a pur-
' chaser of a horse has nine days in
which to return him ta the seller should
he be found to be suffering from any
of the forms of unsoundness specified.
‘Such a law in this country would do
much to protect buyers, and it would
' also be welcome to the reputable men
‘ who are engaged in selling horses.

covered book, like those of bank deposit

I ae record of hie legal receipts
This chronicle fills 28 pages and extends
a little more than from 1838 to 1836 in-
clusive. The first entry, dated Septem-
ber in the former year, is of $560, and
the second of $20, for retaining on the
New Hampshire circuit. The fi-it fee of
$1,000 was paid in May, 1834, by a Mr.
Badger. Services regarding Cilley’s will
corimanded $5800. The total amount for
the first year was footed up as $18,140,
with the remark, ‘Sept. 22, 1884, thus
done and concluded. ”’
A similar summing np appears at the
close of each other year. The second
total is $15,183.74; the third is $21,-
794. The first entry of $2,000 was in
1845, March 7; the first of $8,000 Dec.
7 in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. Tbe
largest single honorarium was $7,500.
In February of the fourth year $5,000 is
set down as bestowed in a case of Trinity
church, New York.
In tarming over this record leading
metropolitan and even provincial law-
yers are astonished that Webster, al-
though 20 years in Boston, so under
valned his services. He learned better
at last When Robert C. Winthrop
looked at the earliest date, he said,
“That's just the time that I was ending
my studies in Webster's office, ’” and the
ohirography led him to add that Web-.
ster never wrote a firm hand. Nobody
surveyed the relic with more interest
than Dr. O. W. Holmes. Among other
things he said: ‘Had the influx been
tenfold, Webster's purse would have re-
mained empty still. Had its capacity
received like the sea, whatever entered
there would have run off like water
from the back of a duck.”’—New York

The Duo de Morny, Napoleon's mouth-

It was soon after this, when Napoleon,

silencing all that was best in Franoe,
oonfirming bis throne by bribery, cor
ruption, imprisonment, banishment and
wholesale murder—it was at. such a

himself accepted by the courts of Europe
as the ruler of the French, that Victor
Flugo hurled against the ‘‘Man of De

phetic words:

keep him alive A superb punishment’

PASSING OF THE BOOT.
Disuse of Poot Gear Once Popular Bast
and West.
The diminished use of boots is a mat-
ter of concern to the manufacturers of
them and to the producers of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was a
leading one in New Eongland. Whole
towns were studded with factories which
noed calf boots exclusively. Fora
decade the sale has been gradually fall-
ing off, and todsy it is of hardly any
importance A few manufacturers of
shoes include boots as a specialty; but
the demand is too light to amount to
much. When calf boots were more in
vogue, manufacturers consulted the par-
tialities of the cowboys, to whom price
was a secondary consideration. The
legs were frequently corded with silk
stitching. The star and crescent and
other fanciful omamentations were in-
laid on the legs of the boots. There
were high heels, and boots were striking
specimens of mechanical art. The soles
were inlaid with copper, zine and brass
nails. The cowboys no longer pay $15
for a pair of boots. They want substance |
instead of show. But they were not the
only wearers of calf boots. They were
extensively worn. Many men prefer
them today, though the number is grow.
ing less. The old fashioned stoga boots
were formerly sold in large quantities
They are well nigh obsolete. There fol:
lowed a demand for a lighter and more
stylish article. A kip boot of finer tex-
ture was produced, about equal in ap-
pearance to the best calf boot, bat this,
too, has fallen somewhat into disuse,
and the sales this season are scarcely
over one-half the usual amount. Where
there wer: 20 factories producing boots
exclusively there is now not one. Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in-
stead of boots, and if it becomes a ne-
oessity to wear long legged boots they
buy rubber. —Shoe and Leather Report-

FIVE CONSONANTS IN A ROW.
A Polish Name That Sonnds a Good Deal
Like Two Sneeses.
A subscriber to the Milwankee Sen-
tinel is curious to know the correct pro-
" pnunciation of the Polish name Brzczen-
ski. He came across it in an account of
an affray which took placa on Sobieski |
street, that city, and evinoed a desire
to master its pronunciation. On investi-
gation it was found that the name, if
really spelled as indicated, must be
pronounced Bsh-tchinski, the ‘rz’ be-
ing sounded about as the English ‘'#h,”’
and the ‘‘cz'’ as the '‘tch’’ in ‘‘hitch-

© Some of the Poles in Milwaukee aie
in favor of a reform in the spelling of
their nam~s As a matter of fact, the lot-
ters in the Polish alphabet do not repre-
sent the same sounds as the letters in
the Latin or English alphabet. For in-
stance, the Poulich w is equivalent to the
English v, and the 8 sometimes assumes |
the sound of =h, the z that of the Eng:
lish 8 in aznre. The Polish tongue con-
tains a great many more sounds than
the old Latin did, and in order to ex-
press the additional sounds in Latin
characters it was found necessary to
combine different consonants. The re-
sult is that a person familiar only with |
the English language regards the Polish |
names as jawhreakers and despairs over |
-their pronunciation.

dreds of people. Modjeska's name in
Polish is spelled Modraejewska, in a!
manner in which no Englishman or
American living would be able to pro-
nouncs it. Chervinski would sound the
same way as Czerwinski, only everybody
would be able to read it
