Y Series of Artielcs Contributed by Advanced I'll Inkers. A DADLY TAXED TOWN. Tlior i- no need to give the name of ■he t vii lis history of taxation ditfers but litth from that of many other places. (Geographically well located, it has m my u-tural advantages, and under renditions of real freedom such aw it might enjoy it would continuously dou kli i' bur- .-annually. It lias au idcal • perfect climate,fine shipping facilities tli by water (rivers and ocean) and by railroad; coal, iron, lime rock, build rig and ether stone; forests of wood of j ill kinds, and to the productions of a j mitropii-.il soil and climate there are ! Immediately accessible all tlie produc tions of tin tropics. A place so situated mglit to grow in wealth and population. Y t th, -an - condition of tilings prevails , as exists all over the civilized world to lay, and, from the same cause, a bad system of taxation. Tax Upon Tax. Situated m a state whose indebted less, interest bearing, is $12,000,000 and iiieivu ing $2,000,000 more each year, tin town's share of which is added to its own local and county tax, that alone would be a burden large ■•nough to weigh down all enterprises. In addition to this, however, there is a port tax, and the various taxes enumer ated as follows: Federal, state, county, ity, old port tax and special (which is figured on a percentage of all the other taxes). In addition to the abovo there is required of one doing business a lo rn'ion tax or licens' , the internal rev nut taxes required of certain lines of incline - (and so far as possible shifted by 1 in-iii-n to consumers); also their pro portion of tariff taxi > (shifted ou to con aimers as far as possible) and several -n.all taxes, such as water rates and trect sprinkling. Functions that the : mi i ipal ity now undertakes to perform, ind for which it should be held good, tr't itlit r not done at all or so poorly loin- that many busiia ss houses and private residen - saro obliged to supple ment tlimu with private watchmen, ircct cleaning, contributions to public inst itut hu:-\ charitable and reformatory, 0 tin r wiih frequent calls for dona tions in aid < f various so called public improvements. Th© Ilurilcim of tlie System. To come readers there may seem to be 01 objection to including many of the above items in the list of taxes, but they ire taxes all the same and are a burden which must bo borne by thocommunity. A jt ysteni of taxation xvould pro , i f r all the above and many other items also and yet be more easily borne ihaii tlm present taxes. A largo number 1 officials are required now to do the 'ork as it is done. There being three p i ite and di tiuct offices and sets of )! ." tli • state and county, the city aid tlm spreial. If to these arc added In- duties of tho county commissioners .vh li engaged on tax business, the state iiid ior and his clerks, tho county boards >f cqu: liz ation, v. hero county commis -ioners do ii(t do tliis work, and the -tat' board of equalization (the last legislature passed an act creating acidi ioual officers to aid tax assessor in as- , .m property), we have an army of tffi-.-ials, using tons of books and station ry, and all working at a total cost .vhieh reduces the net amount of tlie inon-y' taken from the taxpayer to tho smallest percentage before it reaches ;lie public treasury. No sane business man yw uld or could conduct a business win v" th" expense was such a large pcr i ntage of the total income. Inequality of AKHeHHiuentM. I ' ii'te. has yet been made of the ill quality een surpassed. FRILLS OF FASHION. White linen lawn vests, with hem stitched tucks and frill down the front and a turn-over linen collar, are one of the novelties to weur with the coat und skirt gown. One of the perennials of fashion is the Figaro jacket, which crops up with grout regularity. This season it is very short, to display the wide folded belt, and made of oriental embroidery. It is rumored that earrings are com ing into favor again, and the duchese of York has really appeared with dia monds suspended from her ears. We ore threatened, too, with the old-time bracelets and black velvet, with gold and jeweled clasps. Bed is the accepted color for golf suits, and red serge made with Norfolk jacket and skirt, finished on the edges with green leather, is very chic. Brown cloth skirts, with bright-red blouse waists, are very effective, and Russian crash is the material for hot-weather golf cos tumes. WELL TO TRY Rubbing irons with a little wax, to prevent starch sticking. Adding a pinch of salt to the white of egg in beating, to make it froth. Taking ink stains from wash goods, by rubbing with yolk of egg before j washing. Peach pudding sauce of the extra I juice in a can of fruit, with a little sugr I and water and a few drops of almond extract; boil up and serve. Removing scorch from linen by spreading over them this mixture: the juice of two onions, one-half ounce of white son p. two ounces of fuller's earth and onc-lialf pint of vinegar, all boiled together and cooled before using. ELECTRICAL SPARKS. The mast noted electrician is Edison, whose inventions in that line are num bered by hundreds. A Russian medical man has noticed that the human eye naturally winks three or four times less often when reading by electric light than when a candle is used. A temperature of 4,000 or 5,000 de grees can be produced only between the carbon points of an electric arc light. The next hottest place in the world is the crucible of sin electric fur nace.
