The taxation sys- tem of this country is truly pop- ular, of the people, by the peo- ple and for the people. Every citizen is Hable to tax, and the amount of the tax is graduated according to the success and for- tune attained by each individual in availing himself of the oppor- tunéties created and preserved by our free institutions. The method and degree of the tax is determined by no favored class, but by the representatives of the people. The proceeds of the tax should be regarded as a national investment.”—-Dygniel C.

A miniature railroad - locomotive, complete in every detail, which has at- tracted the attention of the railroadiof- tielals of several Pacific obast lines, is the handiwork of a boy living in Portland, Ore. The tiny tocomotive, only 45 inches in length, was built to test a new in- vention of his on a fire box, It is op- erated by steam, generated by oil fuel, and is equipped with airbrakes, an interior throttle and reverse levers and gears, ' , The engineering department of the Southern Pacific company borrowed the model and figured out its weight, power, and all other statistics in the same manner that they would figure on a full-sized locomotive. To their sur- prise, they, found that the tiny engine developed one-quarter horsepower, and on a level track had a hauling capacity of one and a quarter tons. A Nose Like a Hound. Sheriff Frank Cushman says that if he hadn’t a “nose like a hound” would have lost two of his prisoners, says a Belfast (Me.) dispatch. He is Jailer as well-as sheriff, and in making the rounds of the jail he smelled fresh paint. He followed the scent to the cell occupied by Leroy Carter, who is serving the last of a jail sentence be- fore beginning a tavo-year term in state prison for breaking and entering. Car- ter and Winni» Crocker, sentenced for lareeny, occupied the same cell. He found that-the men had sawed off a bar at the window and replaced it with a broom handle painted black, having found some paint in the jail) LITTLE corridor, and another bar was nearly he} 2 lime. COVERING FRUIT WITH GOLD Festival Custom in Southern India Has Long Been a Recognized Fea- ture of Native Life. One of the interesting uses to whica brass and gold leaf are applied in southern India is for gilding limes, the decorated fruit, according to a lo- cal custom, being exchanged by na- tives on festival occasions in token esteem. The origin of this practice is apparently unknown, but it dates from a distant period and is a recog- nized feature of Indian fe; The ex- change of limes takes place on New Year's days, of which several are ob- served in India. Besides the English anniversary observed by the natives, the Mohammedans and the Tamil and Telugu branches of the Hindus have special New Year’s days. A native calling on New Year’s day on a per- son to whom: he or she desires to show esteém, presents the host with In the ease of the well-to-do the Hme is always ornamented with brass or gold leaf. Te custom some- times extends also to the ordinary “tamash” or social reunion. Thus, a@ good deal of brass leaf is used for gilded, limes and the bazar trade in this line throughout sonthern India is really considerable. The leaf is also used to some extent in the man- ufacture of gilded caps -or “topl,” worn generally by Mohammedans in southern India on their holidays and for decorations, on the dresses of Mohammedan women, — CUBES AND BLOCKS sawed off.

Some people seem to think that a vegetarian is a curiosity. A rough calculation shows that the population of the world, now estimated approxt- mately at 1,600,000,000, is said to be divided as to dietetic habits about as follows: Strict vegetarians, 250,000,- 000; practically vegetarians, but eat- ing a little‘fish or flesh, 450,000,000; eating meat about once a week (on high days and holidays), 500,000,000; eating meat daily and sometimes more than once a day, 400,000,000.

He had given his name and ad- dress, that of a large family ho- tel here. . The man’s eagerness : dispelled all doubts of his age 5 qualification until the registrar asked him the date of his birth. The fact was then brought out that he was nearly 20 years past the forty-six-year limit. “You don’t have to register,” said the board member. z “But I want to register,” re- M4 plied the man. “I am physically fit. I want to get on the list so : that Uncle Sam can call on me for anything he wants.” His face clouded with disap- pointment when told that he could aot be registered, - a ie -—— YANKEES ENJOY CHOW Pershing’s Husky Men Are All Good Eaters, Variety In Uncle Sam's Menu Makes It Attractive—Doughboys Grow Talkative. With the American Army in France, — “Chow time” means, one of the most picturesque sights along the front, es- pecially with the Americans. It seems to mean more to the Americans than to any other army, perhaps because American “grub” is better, { Happen along through a ruined vil- lage or a woods in an American ‘sector fifteen minutes before “chow time” and you would think the place deserted. Probably there wouldn’t be more than one or two stray doughboys in sight. Come along fifteen minutes later and you wonder “where in thunder they all came from,” They'll be lined up, and in front of each line there'll be a field kitchen steaming away, with a perspiring army cook dishing out grub that makes you Want to “grab some tools and get in line” too, There's lots of animation at “chow time” among the Americans. A crowd of Frenchmen is quiet while eating, the only time French soldiers are quiet. They munch their bread and meat and vegetables and drink their wine in silence. Not so with the Americans. It’s a big time. First of all, there’s specula- tion on “what's the chow for today.” There’s variety in Uncle Sam’s army menus, Then, as they sit around on the ground, on ruins, or under trees, and that satisfied feeling of*having eaten € good meal grows upon them, there’s lots of life and joking among the doughboys, “Doughboy chow” is good.
