THE present tax law of Indiana exempts greenbacks from taxation. The Cooper bill which has passed Congress does not compel States to tax greenbacks, but gives them the power to do so. The next Legislature will probably repeal the State a-' law conflicting with the Cooper bill. and the tax dodger will be compelled 4 to invent some new pretext for evading his share of the burdens of govcrnment. It is estimated that the uew law will add several million *&• dollars to the tax duplicate of HoosW ierdom.

Mrs. Wilson high standing in society, and her many lovable traits of character liavp won her a host of triends. and her wonderful recovery has attracted widespread attention.

As the Press was the medium of bring- *, ing to the invalid lady's attention tha remedy that has eftectjd her remarkable cure, a reporter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs. ilson. in order that the general public might have tho bene it, ol the sullcrer'sexperience and be made awaro ol the treatment that wrought such a marvelous change in he:1 condition.

''I was for eisrht years an invalid with one of the most distressing a liictions woman can 4 sutter. F01 eiuht, years I moped around, dragging myseli with difficulty and 4 pain out of bed. My little ones went untrained and were greatly neglected, while 1 looked listlessly and heipiessly at the cheerless prospect before me and them. suffered the most intense pains in the small of my back, and these seemed even greater in the region of 4 tue stomach, extending down to thegroins. 1 suffered agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no word for the feeling caused I that dreadful sensation of weakness and helplessness I u, constantly experienced. "1 was treated tor my trouble byseveral local physicians" but they we reable to give me only temporary relief by the use of sedatives and narcotics. 1 had almost given up all hope of ever securing permanent relict when I saw an account in the I'rcss of a cure which Dr. Williams Pink itis had effected. I decided to try them, as I knew the lady who had been -utvd and ha 1 great confidence 111 her statement. 1 began to take the pills in October. 1* and in two months was doing lighthousework and attending to the children, without any bad oi.cet or weakness such as 1 had torinerly experienced. Hitherto, I had b..on unable to retain anv food, but now my appetite grew stronger, and with it came back that old healthy and hearty tone of the stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me. and assure ycu the care has brought a great change in our home. I can now rejoice in my hu ba wl's suecess, for fee' that have something's to live ior.

The Flapping of a Fly's Wiiisr.

The slow Happing of a butterflyV wing produces no sound, but when the.^ movements are rapid a noise is produ*? eed, which increases in shrillness withe the number of vibrations. Thus the ,, house-fly, which uroduces the sound vibrates its wings 21,120.tunes a rainute, or 835 timos 111 a second and the* bee, which makes the sound of A, as manyjas 2t5,400 times, or 410 times 111 second. On tho contrary, a tired bee.hums on E, and therefore, according: -to theory, vibratos its wings only 33U|f •times in a second. Marcy, the natur*^ alist after many attempts, has succeed ed by a delicate mechanism in confirm-^-ing these numbers graphically. He .'iixod a tly so that the tip ot the wing* just touched a cylinder, which was moved by clockwork. Each stroke ol the wing caused a mark, of course very slight,, but still quite perceptible, and thus showed that there were actually 330 strokes in a second, agreeing almost exactly with^the number of vibrations inferred from the note produced.
