Still, the democracy can feel pretty safe on their margin and while they have not as many votes to spare as in years gone by they are reasonably sure of controlling the offices of the state for many years to come.

effort of the last Legislature of

this commonwealth to put the inquisitorial system of taxation into effect against bank depositors is already unsettling business in the State. The banks are the parties most concerned in the matter, and they are combining to resist the law, of coarse on legal grounds, and to show its unconstitutionality. Their argument is unanswerable. If the law is carried out they say they will-be mined, because depositors will stop depositing. Nothing can be more certain than that personal property will always evade taxation, in the last resort, by flight, and to expect to pin it down in banks, aoy more than elsewhere, is vain. It will prove as volatile as ever, and in the meantime the lnnocout depositories of the credit of the community are made to suffer. But nothing would teach the average Indiana legislator of to-day so much as a little capital of his own. The best thing that could happen to him would be not "a little adversity," but a little prosperity.

A FEW days ago, at Cincinnati, a young woman baloonist ascended 5,000 feet. Then she seized the parachute and descended. The parachute failed to open and the young woman suffered a frightful death. At about the same time, near Tacoma, Washington, ayoung man prepared to descend with a parachute from an altitude of 2,000 feet. His hold slipped and he was picked up an unrecognizable mass. In both instances the spectators are said to havo been unspeakably allocked and horrified. It is not at all apparent why they should have been. There is nothing in the least interesting^about country-fair balloon ascenslooEmd parachute leafta, excepting the Interest which arises from the imtrtgaptrisk the "g^naunji'' takes of broaSfry hiiygfick«JLT is nofa feat of aklll or strengt^&o ftfps the spectators can see.vTheysarie attracted Mgely by the fasclnaj|pfa oj^j^yeijttr ft %aa or won^|^tak8otie x?a^we In fiWy,'say, of getttgg l^ycitfcfhergfor# jvh, thW go,l tli©

latest thing in trusts is a burglars'

syndicate, which was discovered in Milwaukee this week. The story goes that it originated in New York about a year ago, and was organised by a con fideuce man, who had a theory that burglars, safe breakers and fellows of that ilk were like day laborers—they needed management, and that with a shrewd manager many of their blunders could be avoided, and by systematic work the chances of detection would be greatly reduced. He organised with twenty-five men and a capital of $5,000, mapped out a route, sent scouts, or traveling lookouts, ahead, and furnished transportation for his men. The tour was very successful and only one man was held, and he finally escaped by the power of the money furnished by the syndicate. This summer half a dcsen such gangs have worked diffljrent territory. The existence of such an organisation has long been suspected among the more artistic members of the "profession." When one of the members of a gang is captured it la not long until some one appears with plenty of money to get him out, and If any means of escape are left open the crook Is sure to find them and make his escape. Confidence operators usually work under aome bead whole always ready to lend a helping band when there Is any trouble, or furnish money to make a game work. It is the fashion now for every person to belong to aome kind of a anion or society, and the crooks are.so exoe lion to the rule. 113

TBB CO USTY'S JPOOSi^

There is one institution in this county which, while not attracting much public attention is still worthy of much more than it receives* and that is the county poor aaylumn. For the eare of its paupers and Incurably Insane the county has 180 acres of land about three miles northeast of tow*,* on which there is a handsome brick building for the accommodation of the unfortunate guests who inhabit it. The place has been under the superintendence of Joshua M. Hull for abput four years, and Is conducted on a sgrsten^whieh is weU nigh perfect. fh%A#

he has

divided into eight lajg|b^dsr and has provided lanes by whlfch.it is an easy matter to reach any particular field without driving through the others. This year he had 22 acres of wheat, from which he harvested over 400 bushels, 35 acres of corn, which looks well, six acres of potatoes, two acres in garden and the remainder in pasture. The farm products are all used at the asylumn, or exchanged for articles which can be used there, and the work is done by inmates and two hired men in the summer and one in winter. The stock owned by the county consists of ten cows and five horses. The cows produce all the milk and butter which are used, and 250 chickens furnish all the eggs. Last year the superintendent cured about 10,000 |ounds of bacon from their own hogs, and at present is flattering 23 head. The outhouses are all in excellent condition, and include commodious stables, wood sheds, tool house, grain bins and wagon sheds.

The interior of the building is neatness itself, and this is due principally to Mrs. Hull, who has an enviable reputation in this direotlon. Th® basement is used for dajjy, cooking, dining rooms and storage, the work being done by a female cook, who is hired, assisted by the Inmates. In this department everything is clean and neat as it could be made, and at meal times the tables are covered with an abundance of good healthy food properly cooked. No regular bill of fare is vogue, although therfcf is conaiderable^ariety. Both stories in the front of the building, are used by the superintendent and family. Immediately back of this on the first floor is a large reception room, furnished with chairs and an organ,.^It is intended for services, but the -Mw4 people do not take enough interfflp iflu^lie matter to hold any there nov« ^-Baofcof this room a hall the length2ofth| building, ,ch side of which are the rooms ocoupigd by^e jpen.

Each person who is able is ^mpolled to do his and her own waShingf and nearly all do it willingly. One of the incurables takes care of the flower gai den in front, and a beautiful plao&.he has made of It. Another sawl|ppfKhe wood, and his saw has to be bidden to keep him from working on Sunday, Still another splits the wood, and they nearly all find something to do. At present there are 80 inmates, of whom 20 are incurables who have been sent back from the ins%ne asylum, and of the total number 23are women, and only two are colored. Of the latter an old man is blind, and the other, an old negress, is from North Carolina, and is 100 years old. There Is one old woman who has been an Inmate 17 years, and was handed over from the old building on the Bloomington road when it was abandoned. Some of thetaihave seen better times and could be making a living for themselves if they would only let whisky alone. One thing, however, is certain, and that is that they are all well cared for—in fact very few people in ordinary circumstances have better homes and as much to eat. The expense of conducting the institution is about 18,500 per annum. That it is in good bands no one will doubt who inspects it, aud when the present superintendent's successor is appointed he will find things so well syatemitized that it will nearly run itself.

Is Alum Poisonous? tHalVs Journal of Health.]

r«This question has caused a good deal of discussioou Alum is used by many bakers to whHen their bread, enabling them to use an inferior flour. It is moat extensively employed as a cheap substitute for cream of tartar in the inanufactur% jf baking powders. It has not beOTyqftnsidered immediately dangerous, alUPngtf if continued it induces dyspep-sia-Cnd obstinate constipation. But the fact that many cases of poisoning have occur^l from the use of alum, puts the question in r. more serious aspect, and prudent people will exercise cautiou in the selection of baking powders. "Under what conditions then, does this substance—formerly used only for mechanical or medicinal purposes—become poisonous? They are certainly obscure, and at present we can only surmise what they may be. We suspect that the cause exists in the individual poisoned some peculiarity of the constitution producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stomach, with which the alum combines and forms an active poison or the secretions may be healthy but in unusual proportions, and "that these less or greater proportions in combination with the alum constitute a poison. ••For example, two parts of mercury and two parts of chlorine from calomel, which is not poisonous, but change the proportions to one part mercury and two parts of chloride, aud we get corrosive sublimate, whioh is a deadly poison, "Then again, we know nothing of the constitutional peculiarities. Why is is. that one person can eat all kinds of green fruits' and vegetables with impunity, while the same course might cost another individual his life? One person can handle poison ivy and sumac without being in the least affected another is poisoned if he approaches to within ten feet of them. Out of a family residing in a malarial district, some of the members will suffer half the year with fever and ague, while the others will enjoy excellent health during the entire yeai. Foods that are wholesome to some persons are. actually poisonous to others. This is especially true of some kinds of fish. There is no safety in taking alum into the stomach, as it is shown to be always injurious, and often dangerous."
