Mother-' Among the ^Greeks and Romans the umbrella was used by women, while its use by men was considered effeminate, Le ?3 than .100 years ago a largo umbrella was kept hang­ ing in the balls of good houses in England to keep visitors dry as they passed to and from their carriages. At hotels and Testanrants also they were occasionally u^od in the same way for the benefit of, invalids or , . T. , , . 6 ° r wlsn ’’_3L^-d;usi)t»iSr^tmrv5Iau(l aged people. But__nobody—ever- -mrofmoyTlirgued before the .State Tux "idlbught of carrying an umbrella in the street. It is said that Lord Cornwallis when he had been dining with a friend and was about to enter*his carriage to return home stopped a moment at the door to speak a part­ ing word to his host. It was raining in torrents, and a servant standing by took up the house umbrella to hold it .over his lordship’s head when the old soldier exclaimed wrathfully; ‘Take that thing away! X*o you suppose I am a sugar doll to melt in a shower, or do you take me? for a woman, who is afraid of her fine headgear? I have not been all this time fighting my country’s bat-: ties to be frightened now at a little cold vtater. If powder and lead didn’t annihilate me, a shower of raindrops may be risked.” The largest umbrella in tbe world was made in Glasgow for a king of east Africa. It can be opened and closed in the nsual way and when open is twenty-one feet in diameter. Tho staff also is twenty-one feet long. . New York and Philadelphia are the centers qf the umbrella industry in this country,. ..and more than 8,000,000 are made annually. Tile wood used principally for umbrella sticks is that of the pimento or all­ spice tree, which grows abundantly in South America and the West In­ dies. Prom the single island of Jamaica an. average of 2 , 0 Q 0 _lnm- 'dles of sticks are seijt annually to England and the United States. A bundle.contains from 500 to 800 sticks, each of which represents a young pimento tree.—Ehicago Rec- ord-IJgrald, '8tibtr*et!on, The teacher was giving a lesson in subtraction. It had taken them several terms to master the mys­ teries of .addition, and in this rule she found them no less dull. Driven to desperation by the stu­ pidity of their replies, she rashly promised three whole pennies to the cliild who gave her the smartest an­ swer. “Of course,” she explained for the’ twentieth time,' “you can only sub­ tract things of tho same name. For =- - . . i instance, yon can’t take^cjglLtjiablea. muT-nfit’tfvio tax~the mens from sixteen years or four horses from seyenpenee.” A hand shot up at the back of the class, nml the teacher broke off .to inquire what was the matter. “Please, miss,” squeaked a small hoy’s voice, “ can’t you take three pennies from one purse, then?” He won the prize. ■ A Cardboard Capital. Every time I come to Paris I am struck with the unreal appearance of the town, especially in the less busy quarter which lic3 all round he Champs Elysees. The tall, jlank gray houses) with their gray wooden shutters, look no more real ;lianthe cardboard houses in a stage day. Moreover, it seems impossi­ ble than any one is alive inside the louses. You never see a face at a window, and no one ever seems to emerge through the great brown doors—doors which arc obviously made of painted cardboard and not of wood. The gravness, the monot­ ony, the absence of colors, tho com­ parative silence, arc incredible after the warm colors, the red brown skies, the portentous, seething “movement” of London. —London Sketch. Commission tlmt rtds semicolon sep urates the two clauses lu a very im­ portant manner, This seems to us a tenable view, and, therefore, that ali"1 values mentionecl before the semi­ coion are to be taxed "by a uniform rule,” that is, 1;y a rule or method uni­ formly applicable to these alone, while the words “also ajUreal and per­ sonal property awarding to Its value In money" apply simply to "all real and personal property.” And, tevi- dentiv, “all veal and personal, proper­ ty" means visible find tangible prop­ erty as distinguished from' invisible, intangible property described in 'the former clause. The former is to be .taxed “by a uniform rule;” the latte? “according to its trtie value* in mon­ ey." Note that it does' pot say “at" its true, vait,e, etc., as Mr. Smith in- corVictly quotes it several time3. This Jcolrss as it the framers of the consti­ tution. cxpec.ed a pealing down, as at present, to the values at forced sale, which makes no *difference if It is general and uniform. Also, a I'vule” that is.“uniform" for all notes, stocks, bonds, etc., may mean a low percent­ age, as now- proposed, on this whole class of property {-Amply for its pro­ tection); and on two. grounds: First, that stocks in .railways, etc., represent the value of tVu. roadbeds, rolling stock, stations and other actual) visi­ ble, tangible property, already taxed as such, and to tax; the stocks held by A, Q and G, also. Would be double taxation, which no one fnvdrs; while to tax the bonds, would be to tax what the railways owe, not what they own. Second, that these evidences of quasi- ownership are invisible; Intangible and inevitably in the main escape, as shown increasingly year by year for over half a century., Therefore tax such visible, tangible property where it exists, in the hands of its directors and managers; tax It, tax i t ’'once, don’t try to thx the paper certificates of stock in the bands of A, B and C, for if you sticcead you will tax double, ami if you fail (as yjyu will, for you have done so»for 50 years), yoa-will simply repeat tho folly of your fathers and yourselves, Still furtner, even if we were to concede fas W0 do not) that- the framers of the constitution, intended to tax money, alee,A, etc,, on the name baeir with tangible property, and that tils may have been just, then, time* have utterly changed. In 1*81, and fo? sever,d years th«r*»ftor, money brought 0 to 4d per cent inter- *st per attniuo, and- tax®* were about 1 per cent, Now Interest on safe loans is 1100111313, to 4 per cent and the rate of taxation in many -cities, the chief money center's, in 3*4 to 4% per cent, To tax money at, par value in such cities would be unjust and therefore: Impossible, ft would he confiscation. Further, money ia chiefly an Instru­ ment or means of exchange, When A and B “3wap” farms, there is nh instrument of exchange and wo tax both farms ah before. But if A, B, C, D, etc., really '.’Swap'* fame, nil down the the Hue, no matter how far, but use $10,000 In bank hills, gold, or bank chocks, as an Instrument of ex­ change, why not continue to fax the & M iB a *. * (S ’ # * ,/sV ."'N”. yv:-A *«W ♦* a a . * *,y ?> a t > • A **lt Pays to Trade In Springfield** FreFarestoSpringfieii and Beta Every Hay in the Year?

IrnIon, July 11, 10 »7, Put Your Money In a New Country m * * <V The Pacific Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway now under construe-* tion, opens to thoscttler thousands of acres of excellent agricultural land. Thcnew country la Adame, Hettinger, and Bowman Counties, North Dakota, and Butte County, South Dakota, is now reached by the new track, The soil is a dark loam with clay subsoil,Trad produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spelz, flax, corn and potatoes. The land is well adapted to farming, good wafer is found at a depth of from twedty to fifty feet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignite coal that out- - - crops along tho streams, and in most cases can be had for the digging, Tho climate is healthful, the air is dry and invigorating, and the percentage of sunshiny .days is high. Outdoor work can be done almost every day in the year. Rainfall is amply syffi- ^ cicnt to, raise the crops. Regular mail service has been established, the ror^ls are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automobiles are in common use. The deeded land iff thb district sells for from $10 to $18 pet acre. There are many instances this year where the crop ‘ - equalled In value tho cost of the land. In Butte County, South Dakota, there Is considerable government fand open for homestead entry. Government land offices are maintained at Lemmon, Hettinger and Bowman, where filings and final proofs may be made. All ot these towns are on the new line of the ' Chicago Milwaukee & S t Paul ... Railway " ... ' In Montana, the*now”railroad traverses good farming land. It has been demonstrated that big crops of-grain maybe raised. Along theYellowstone and Musscllaltcll rivers, tho water is used for Irrigation, and phenomenal yieldsof alfalfa, sugarbeets, ami grain, aro always certain. In the Judith Basin near Lewistown, Montana, is one of the most remarkable sections to bo found on tho now line., Undernatural rainfall, the famous bench lands produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to the aero, and the price was 01 cents per bushel.- The basin Contains about 1500 square miles and is sparselysettled. Some government land still remains ,open for settlement. A government land officeiamaintained at I.ewistown. In Fergus County, outside tho Judith Basin, in ohe of tho greatest - otock countries in theworld, and good ranches eau he purchased at a reasonable figure. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. has established an immigration department for tho purpose of assisting in thb settlement and development of tho now lands now being opened, - Pamphlets descriptive of its resources will bo forwarded free on request. * fed ■ vfah' fijft k 4*9- .tT;<£l mp I p r%T fiftsri. pM ff.V* ail H E L E N M.
