The law will undoubtedly be modified this winter, but there1s consider- able uncertainty as to the nature of this modification.

Hence, amodified respivatory effort—a quick forced inspiration or *‘sniff—is usually necessary in order to bring aiv carrying odoriferous particles to the olfactory nerve endings. Nevertheless, whenever air mixed with odorous gases and nox- ious particles is inbaled through the nose during & few successive ordinary rvespirations, the olfactory sense is awak- ened toa knowledge of ‘their presence through the law of diffusion of gases, in virtue of which the odorous particles are convefed to the superior fossw of the nose and heunce to the terminal filaments of the olfactory nerve. Thus, to a cer tain extent, the sense of smell is pre- servative of health, - Movements of Ocean Steame At New York- !loln Havre.

A due appreciation of the skill and efficiency of the professional work ac- complished by hushand is to be highly commended in the main. Thera are times, however, when this sort of hero worship can bo carried to such an extent as to seriously interfere with one's best interests, as has been proven in the case of a Washington physician, says Kate Fieid. © For some reason he decided to allow his wife to make out his bills,and for that purpose turned over the book containing memoranda of visits to her tender mercies. he bills were accordingly made out with a promptness that could not fail to be most gratifying to the husband, but the ultimate result of the venture has proved far from satis- factory. From far and near the com- plaints of exorbitant charges have rained in. This has, in turn, led to in- vestigation as to the cause, and revealed the fact that the wife appraised her hus- band’s services at justdouble the amount he ovdinarily charges, and made out the bills accordingly.

Other Taxes Are Inquisitor:al. “One of the objections aurged against the income tax,” said Mr. Hall, “lis that it is in- quisitory in its character. 'So is the custom house inquisitorial. Is not tho internal tax on whisky and tobacco nquisitorial? Is not personal propertv taxation, which is resorted 1o by twenty-nine out of the forty states of the uniion, inquisitorinl when 1t requires a man to make an afdaviv to every dollar's worth of personal property he has and al- lows an_officer to go into his wife's ward- robe and drag out her watch and jewelry and all her finery? And yet the same men who have succecded in piacing these laws in the states now come forward aud oppose au income tax on the ground that it is inquisitorial. Another sil ument is that the ncome tax is 4 reward for perjury. While we have heard demagogues upon the stump say many hatsh and cruel things of wealthy inen, we have no one so bold as to ay that the men who receive incomes of 4,000 would make phemselves a band of per- jurers in order to protect themselves from 1 pitiable tax on their incomes of 2 per cent. Instead of this measure being a reward to perjury by its passage, if we re- fuse to pass it becduse this elaim is made then the refusal to pass it from such un ar- eument will be a'reward to a threatened perjurer “Ihe danger arising from an investigation of theoperation aud wucthods of business men is_entirely destroyed by the first part of section 10 ‘of the bill," ‘said Mr. Hall, which punishes severcly'any collector who divulges any information regarding a per- son’s financial condition.” Why Sperey Will Oppose 1t. Tho opponents of the income tax have been stirred to renewed activity by the digest of the measurc a8 given 1n the Asso- ciuted press dispatchies, It was the first time they had seen the detailed methoa pro- posed for levying the tax. Representative Sperry of Connecticut, who is one of the most active opponeuts of the bill, points out some of the main objec- tions to the income tax plan as proposed. He says that the commitiee has in 0o way over- com the objection that an income tax is inquisitorial. They do not pry into the in- comes of citizens, but leave it for the citi- zens having un income of over §3,500 to vol- untarily make a report as to whether his in- come excecds suys that this **voluntavy” proposition wives no pro- tection to the Citizen. The government as- sessors will select such citizens who have not made a voluntary statement and will pry into their affairs, Mr. Sverry says also that the voluntary system “putsa premium on liars.” Business Mea Can’t Do It. Mr. Sperry points out that it will be abso- lutely impossible for business men to make a voluntary statement us to the amount of their incomes. He ciies an actual case which has come to his attention of a man who has used a large stock of raw wool to make woolen hose without expecting to sell the goods and merely for the purpose of keeping his men employed. The transac- tion resulted inanet loss of §0.000. Mr. Sperry shows how such a transaction can be estimated n figuring on an income. He also says thac large commercial concerns will never be able to make an estimate of their ince They are in the habit of giving from four to six months and their ccounts seldom or never show what ir income fs. If the book accounts are pad it represents income, otherwise it rep- resents loss. Mr. Sperry says there is no practical means of obviating this dificulty. In the plan to have the disbursing officer of firms or corporations pay the tax on salaries of employes Mr. Sperry says that the pro- posed law shows. its manifest injustice. A salary is ascertainable and is notllke the uncertain profits of a business firm. And yet the employer 15 compelied to do the bookkeeping and assume the ourden of look- g after the 0s ou all the salaries of his employes. Sugar Comes on Moaday.

The models now being received all represent the late senator in a standing position, but there are variations in pose and expressions, he statues are regarded with a great deal of mterest by the friends and associates of Senator Kenna. Oue of the statues by Miils has been on exhibition in the room of the committee on territories and has oc- cassioned a great dealof favorable comment. Another, at the National hotel, is by Dabar. It is hoped by the West Virginia senators that the committee will soon be able to make a selection so that the statue may be placed in the hall with the least possivle delay. Condemnmg the Medals. Senator Vilas will protest_against the de- signs of award medals of the World’s Col- umbian exposition. He secured proofs from the Philadelphia mint and on one side of the medal it was found the design that of a stalwart specimen of American munhood, holding in his right hand a lighted toreh and in his lefva shield. Nearly all tho sen- ators condemn the desigu and some other figure will probably be substituted.
