gage the attention of the Legislature. Several States have such laws, and find them a good investment of public money.

A brother pusher of the pencil says that there are some people on this mundane sphere who are so peculiarly sensitive that a statement of account from a newspaper publisher is construed into a gross insult. A man who will dun them must have doubts as to their personal integrity. This is an unfair construction of the case. To illustrate, let us compare a newspaper’s subscription list with a farmer’s wheat crop. Let us suppose that the farmer raises 2,000 bushels of wheat a year, and sell s this to 2,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them saying, “I will hand you a dollar in a short time.” The farmer does not want to be small, and says “all right.” j Soon the 2,000 bushels are gone, but he has nothing to show for it, and he then realizes that he has fooled away his whole crop, and its value to him is due him in two thousand little driblets, consequently he is seriously embarrassed in his business, because his debtors, each owing him one dollar, treat it as a small matter and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of business year in and year out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it? A moment’s thought will convince anyone that a publisher has cause for some
dunning.
The Greencastle Astrologist, who is the seventh daughter of the seventh son of the seventh daughter, and was born not on earth, but on the ocean, in the midst of a terrific storm, does not make a public business of foretelling the future, but she gives the astrological prediction as to girls in the following language, said prediction having been handed down for over two hundred years. This prediction is: “If a girl is born in Jauu-

1 A prominent physician hereabouts i scornfully laughs at the common idea ( that apendicitis is caused by a seed or a bit of hard food lodged in the vermiform appendix. He has performed a number of abdominal operations, and has never found anything of the sort as the troubling cause in any one of them. “A small bit of digested matter,” he says, “gets into the sac if the neck of it is opened far enough to receive it. It may remain there for years and cause no trouble, and then, again, it may bring on appendicitis almost immediately. He disclaims entirely any faith in the Idea that grape seeds or any other seeds produce the disease, and begs those timorous folks who have almost given up the use of small fruits for fear of appendicitis to banish the notion and enjoy the goods the gods
provide without worry.

It is truly pathetic to see with what vim and vigor the poor millionaires attack the income tax law. They think that it is an outrage that they should be compelled to pay a share of the burdens oftaxation. Why indeed should they? Were not the shoulders of labor built for just such loads? Then why force these rich nabobs to go down into their pockets and pay taxes? Truly such a thing is to plebeian for the rich to think about much less act upon. And they would invoke the courts to help them out. Do they think to bribe justice and escape the will of the people. The income tnx law is all right and asks for only what isjustlyduethe government from those who reap a large
benefit from it.

The Variation of Time Required by DIN ^ ferent Varieties. The time required for germinating varies from a few hours to two years, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The seed of the tropical mangrove sprouts even before the fruit has fallen oil the brarchcj into the soft ooze beneath. The f eed* of the willow will germinate a few hours after being sown; those of spannach and kidney beans in three days: of lettuce in five days; of some pinks in ten days; of the willow in eleven days, and of the walnut and pine in four or six weeks; while those of the rose, hawthorn, ash, dogwood, maple and other trees do not, under ordinary circumstances, germinate till from one and a half to two years after being put into the ground. Most of the cresses germinate within one or two days. The seed of the common cress, used in mustard and cress, on being forced, frequently yields a crop within fortyeight hours after being sown. The period of time required for germina< tion varies in accordance with the nature of the seed and the surroundings and circumstances under which it is grown, such as soil, temperature* moisture, etc. The seed of a globe turnip is exceedingly small, not larger, perhaps, than the twentieth part of an inch in diameter, and yet in a few months this seed, elaborated by the soil and atmosphere, increases to twenty-seven millions of times its original bulk; and this, in addition to a considerable bunch of leaves. From experiments recently made it has been proved that a turnip seed may increase its own weight fifteen times in a minute. On peat ground turnips have been found to increase by growth fifteen thousand nine hundred and ninety times the weight of their seed each day they stood upon it. WILES OF THE CARETAKER.

Her Interests Exactly the Opposite of Those of the Itcal Estate Agent. Caretakers of houses which are in the market, either to be sohl or to be let, regard, as a rule, every possible purchaser or lessee as an enemy, says the New York Sun. Ordinarily the only compensation they is the privilege of living in the premises rent free. Consequently, the sale or lease of the house would result in their being turned out of doors. The result is that the intending purchaser will have the bad points of the premises pointed out in place of being concealed, and everything calculated to make him think ill of the house will be rendered conspicuous. This is done adroitly when the caretaker is a diplomatist, and the announcement of the building’s defects take the form of admissions apparently made with reluctance. “Oh! yes, the furnace heats the entire house nicely; that i>. for people who don't like to have their rooms too warm," is the reply of a caretaker, who won't lose her only home if she can help it, to a reasonable question. “The water comes up to the top of the house every day bid Monday," said another caretaker. “\\ hy doesn't it then?” “oh! it never does when it is being used in the kitchen.
