It is better to INCOME TAX IN GREAT BRITAIN How It Has Worked in Thrt Country for a Century. An Income tax was established in Great Britain in 1798. The first tax fell upon incomes in proportion to their amounts, but this was changed by the second act, passed in 171)9, and thereafter the tax fell upon the entire income, JE0O being exempt, and re duced rates being charged on incomes ranging from JtHO to £200. The tax was repealed fn 181(5, but was revived in 18t2 by .'sir Robert Reel to meet a deficiency ami to en able the Government to make some needed reforms. The situation in (treat Britain then was not unlike that which now confronts this coun try. but Sir Robert Peel s proposal to provide the government with funds by an income tax was not met by the intimation that its revivers were com munists, as the like proposition is re- ceived here by persons who care more for escaping taxation than for the hist ice or fairness of the tux. and who are opposed to all “class legislation” except such as discriminates against the poor. For more that fifty years this tax lias been levied without serious oppo sition from the people. In 1874. as Inis been stated, Mr. Gladstone thought that the government could get on without it, hut the Commons did not urge its repeal and the matter was changed and Sir Station!

The wheel was constructed in its separate parts at Detroit, and shipped to Chicago. So absolute was Mr. Ferris’s confi dence in the accuracy of his plans and measurements, that he did not take the trouble to set up the wheel before it was shipped. When it was taken from the ears at Chicago, every spoke and bar, truss and girder, went to gether as though each had been pro- viously fitted to its neighbor. ‘‘The foundation for the supporting towers were already in place. They had been begun hack in January, with the thermometer ten degrees be low zero. It took excavations thirty- five feet below the surface, and through twenty feet of quicksand and water, to obtain n suitable footing. The towers, eight in number, are twenty feet square and thirty-five feet high, of solid cement. To keep this cement from freezing, live steam was used. Buried in the concrete are massive steel bars, and to them are bolted the steel towers which rise one hundred and forty feet in the air. supporting the wheel. To topple over the wheel, it would he necessary to uproot these cement towers.” The shaft, or axis, which support the enormous weight of the wheel, is of steel, forty-five feet long, thirty- two inches in diameter, and weighs seventy tons, as much as a “mogul" locomotive. It had to be lifted one hundred and forty feet in the air. Slowly the wheel was put in place, and then came the question the enormous mass move? “When the last segment had been dropped into ifc pi ace, the last car hung, the supports knocked away, and the signal was given to set the monster in motion, there came a moment of anxious suspense. An ex penditure of four hundred thousand dollars, mouths of toil, a hard-won reputation, success and fame, too, perhaps, hung upon the question of whether this Cyclops would answer the the touch of its driving gear. A finger was lifted, a throttle opened, and the great wheel begun to turn, and it has gone on turning and stop ping. obeying the lightest touch of its driver, with a precision and accuracy that is not the least of the wonders of this mechanical marvel.” Other schemes of immense propor tions are in tjie mind of Mr. Ferris, and we need not he surprised at any engineering feat performed hy him.

Concerning the origin of Mr. Fer ris’ idea to build such a wheel, the above named magazine gives the fol lowing : “At a banquet given to the archi tects and engineers in Chicago two years ago, the Director of works, Mr. Burnham, made a speech in which he took occassion to praise the archi tects of America for rising to the in spiration of the occassion and pre senting plans for the housing the Fair that would astonish the world. They had boldly cut loose from estab lished lines, and had shown that America had originality in architec ture. “ ‘But,’ said Mr. Burnham, ‘the civil engineers have not met the ex pectations of the people. They have as yet proposed nothing to show that they have originality. They have proposed no plan for a novelty such as the Eiffel Tower. They have pro posed towers, but these are now his tory. \Ye want something new in engineering science for the World’s Fair, but the engineers have as yet proposed nothing.” Of course the langiui'fcs felt the re buke. But one of them, a young man only a dozen years out of the Poly technic, said quietly that Mr. Burn ham should he satisfied—a pledge he shortly fulfilled. When I asked him, the other day, where the idea came from, he said with a smile, ‘From a chop dinner. I had been turning over every proposition I could think of. On four or live of these I had spent considerable time. What were they? Well, perhaps I’d better not say. Anyway, none of them were satisfactory. “‘We used to have a Saturday afternoon club, chiefly engineers at the World’s Fair, It was at one of these dinners, down in a Chicago chop house, that I hit on the idea. I re member remarking that I would build a wheel, a monster. I got some paper and began sketching it out. I fixed the size, determined the construction, the number of cars we would run. the number of people it would hold, what we would charge, the plan of stopping six times in the first revolution and loading, and then making a complete turn,—in short, before the dinner was over. I had sketched out almost the entire detail, and my plan has never varied an item from that day. The wheel stands in the Plaisance at this moment as it stood before me then.” When the young engineer’s plans were proposed they met with innum- berable obiections, the Fair Directory hesitating to allow him to build it; and they did not grant that privilege until Dec. 16, 1892, only four and a half months before the Fair would he opened. The Eiffel Tower took three pears in building, the St. Louis bridge years; yet the Ferris Wheel, a jC structure than eitiier of these, completed and in opejption ip less six months. befoRfi^!*’ , . , fI table-ciotv rax P ut mto ,lu ‘ their fading. m ‘J.

Put u teaspoon of borax in your rinsing water; it will whiten the cloths, and also remove the yellow cast on garments that have been laid aside for two or three years. One of the best things to cleanse the selap thoroughly is to dissolve one -half a teaspoonful of borax in a qu: -t of water, and apply it, rubbing it in well. Rinse well in clear water. For washing fine, nice flannels, nothing will cause them to look so nice as borax in the water, a table- spoonful of borax to a pail of water being the right proptrion. Always wash baby's flannel skrits, shirts; etc., in this. Always wash baby’s, smouth and gums ever morning with water in wich you have put a pinch of borax. It keeps the mouth fresh and sweet, and prevents that uncomfortable affliction, h sore mouth, with which so many poor babies are troubled when their mouths are not kept perfectly clean. Borax water is excellent for sponging either silk or wool goods that are not soiled enough to need washing. In washing cashmere or wool goods, put a little borax in the water. This wi p cleanse them much more easily and better, without injury to the colors. Do not rub them on a hoard but use the hands, and throw on the line without wringing. Press them on the wrong side, ahd they will look almost like new. How to Keep Your Temper. “Ruskin in a letter to young girls says: ’’Receive the thing that is pro voking or disagreeable to you, as com ing directly from Christ’s hand, and the more it is like to provoke you, thank him for it the more, as a yong soldier would his general for trusting him with a hard place to hold on the rampart. And remember that it does not in the least matter wlit happens to you—whether a clumsy school fellow tears your dress or a* shrewd one laughs at you, or the teacher doesn’t undersand you. The one thing that does matter is that none of these things should vex you Say to to yourself each morning, just after your prayers, ‘‘Whoso forsaketh not all that he hath cannot be my disciple.’ This is exact ly and completely true, meaning jhat you are to give all you have to Christ to take care of it sor you. Then if he doesn’t take cure of it, of course you know it wasn’t worth anything. And if he takes anything from you. you know you are better without it.” and air fill to ll)e , It was my’ position where talents to the best a> ed my ambition high, so I did not reulive the highe at least always he tending t hat he didn't t tiink lie would like t iiat.

When I was young I lived near u theatre, and many of the actors knew me, and I might have gone in any time and witnessed the performance without having to pay for it. Other boys acquaintance:- of mine, used to do it, and I would like to have done it. But 1 thought it over, and I made up my mind that I would not. I never did. Ihis self- denial, if it may he called that, did not make me morose or unhappy. On the contrary I was always cheer ful. I took an interest in my work, and took pleasure in doing it well, and in the feeling that I was getting on and in a way to become something. And that sort of pleasure is. after all, more real and lasting than is to be got from going to a theatre when one I spicuous. might he doing something useful.

Tiie (Juict Contributor in the Pitls- hirg Commercial Gazette writes as follows on a most important subject : A wise woman will not neglect to -indy men long before she begins to iigr.ri for a husband. She will note •aivfully the quaiifes of men whom she knows to he good husbands; also, note t he defects in those who are failures. As soon as she learns that men p: - -sing certain habits, do not make good husbands she will at least know whom to avoid.
