One hundred tons of grapes which will produce $4000 in raisins is a pretty good return for labor and time expended in this little ineyard. It may be regarded r.s somewhat sin* gular that Sir Walter Scott's novels are almost as popular in Paris as are the novels of the eminent French novelists. Translations of his romances are found on every bookstall in numbers, ^and the Paris Municipal C >uncil has recently^ * shown its appreciation ot the author 'himself by naming a short street aftei him. ' A gentleman of lolsure in England has just built a dairy, the like of which has never been seen. The building, which is of Carrara marble, is fitted throughout with electric light, and all the motive power for separator* and churns and washing purposes is supplied by electricity.

The silver mines that are now gutting a dollar's worth of silver, as measured by common business standard, for seventeen cents, are not more profitable than a good far.11 well manured. Taking the present prices of all farm products and the cost of them, the profit is quite as goo i as those of the richest mines, but, while every dollar taken from these is reducing the deposit, the farm is inexhaustible and will continue to yield its profits as long as tbe world exists in its present form, and after that time has elapsed there will be no far.11s required.

Tnis, it see in, is the motive of most women who insure themselves. Occasionally one of them insures her life for the benefit of heirs, but such a practice is rare among those who are compelled to work for u living. Not many years ago a woman who took oul ad insurance policy was thought to bj unusually 14progressive," but nowadays be may carry a heavy risk without exciting much comment. A well-knowi Milwaukee heiress, Miss Lizz'e Plankinton, has her life insured for $30,000, and the wife of a prominent Chicago in uraoce man pays premiums on a policy of $50,000. An incident of the extension of the business among women is naturally the appearance of female agents in competition with men. In Milwaukee there are two young womer who make a comfortable living as insur ance solicitors, and they find many patrons in their own sex. DEMOCRATS WIN! So It Will Be "Four Years More For Grorer."

T. E. Watsw.j 'his incomo tax law passed Congress ly its term* all iucotnc* in exeess of 0 and under $10,000 wero taxed at 0 cent,, over $10 ,000 at 5 per coat. 'iiia was surely very moderate 'ho tax was collected uudor the intal revenue system. *rom this source the Government colted $2,741,857 in 1800. 'or the fiscal year, ending Juno 30, 4, it collected $20,394.733. )j tho third day of March, 1805, tho was amended sons to substitute 5 per it for tho 3 per contoutho smaller in* ires,and 10 per cent. for tho S per cent. on the linger ones, commencing with mHH income of *1000. * lT??lcr these nets the Oovenmout col'ted $1)9,060,017. in 1H00 this tax yielded $72,082,1105. 1807 it yielded $00,014,420. In 1870 the law was amended. Tho c was diminished in effect one half. <.> ic amendment also provide 1. that the . -j was to expire with the year 1870. ., . III 1808, $41,455,500 was ttic; sum colted.

Docs anyone doubt that it would now practical to collect enough revenuo >m this s ,urce to run the Government? Fortunes have so nmn/.tngly increased tho hands of the millionaires; profits stupendous have accumulated in the nds of Standard Oil magna'c*. co.l rons, railroad king", sugar trust operars, steel and iron combines, that a good, avy tax on Incomes above $10,000 ? o tax growning heavier as the income is larger?would be phenomenal in its ?ld. The reisons why such a tax would bo ttcr than any wc now have are sutli niiv obvious. 1. It would put the burden ni tho iss most able to In nr it. 2. It would put the support of the ndinis*ration upon those who derive tho entcst benefits under the laws. .1. It would interest the most powerful iss in the cause of economy.
