" .— .ll‘e'V‘Pifosperous' S_ho_uld Bear Their Share 7 ' ' OffGove'jfinment Support. 5 - Chicago, -« Feb; gin—At the Union Lcague Club [in Chicago yesterday ex— President Harrison spoke "on ”The Ob- ligations of Wealth.” He said the life of Vv’ashington “teaches no lesson more strongly than that the citizen is under obligations to serve the State; never to Shirk his full share of burden and labor and sacrifice, but rather to do more." “The special purpose of my address to-day,” he said, “is to press home this thought upon the prOSperous, well—to— do people of our community, and espe- cially of our great cities, thatone of the conditions of the security of wealth is a proportionate and fdll contribution to the expenses of the State and local governments. It is not only wrong, but it is unsafe to make a. show in our homes‘and on the street that is not made in the tax returns. “In New York State the proportion of personal property assessed for taxa- tion is only 'about 12 per cent. of the total amount of property taxed. Yet- Comptrolled Roberts, of that State, ex- presses the opinion that the taxable personal property owned in the State is at least equal to the amount of real estate. Illinois and many other States present the same condition, differing only in degree. , “It is easy to see how this offense .against patriotism has grown to such proportion. The very sense that ine- quality is injustice has promoted it. One man sees that his neighbor is not making a. conscientious tax return, and that if he returns his property honest— ly he will pay disproportionately. The result is that his conscience finds a salve in the saying, ‘Everybody does it.’. “It is not easy to see new a Federal control of these questions can be es- tablished. The States are not likely to surrender such important powers to the national government. It is more than questionable whether New Jersey and Connecticut, for instance, could be in- duced to forego the inducements which their tax laws, or the administration of them, may offer to wealthy New York- ~11 ers. 1, . , A WOMAN’S GOOD WORK. ‘What Miss Reel Has Accomplished: fol “’ymuing’s Finances. . Women are generally ‘considerec theorists. Wyoming has a woman Miss Estelle Reel, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who has showr. that some women are more practical than men. When Miss Reel was elect- ed to office three years ago to succeed a man she found in the Land Depart- ment, of which, by virtue of her office she has charge, that the State had over four millions of acres of grazing land: donated by the General Government for the aid and support of State insti- tutiOns. The act donating the land had placed a minimum price at which it could be sold by the State of $10 an acre, and- as the General Governmeni was selling its lands at $1.25 per acre there was, of course, no sale for the State lands. The income tovthe State. for; rental of lands when Miss Reel‘ went into office was but $17,000 a year a paltry 304,000 acres being leased. - The woman superintendent directec her efforts toward leasing more land She advocated low rentals, so that ii; would pay the ranchmen to lease £01 grazing purposes. The stimulus she has given the leasing idea 'has resulted: in the ranchmen leasing 830,000 acres, and the annual income to the State is now $50,000 a year. As it only edsts $250,000 a year to run the State Govern- ment machinery of Wyoming, Miss Reel’s office is paying 20 per cent. 01 the entire budget. ___,___,__,,__..,. .. “'llen Longfellow Game to Cambridge. In 183%}, when Lowell was a. sopho- more, Mr. Longfellow came to Cam- bridge, a young man, to begin his long and valuable life in the college. His presence there proved a benediction, and, I might say, marks an epoch in the history of Harvard. In the first place, he was fresh from Europe, and la. gave the best possible stimulus to the budding interest in German liter- ature. In the second place, he came from Bowdoin College, and in those days it was a very good thing for a Harvard undergraduate to know that there were people not bred in Cam- bridge quite as well read, as intelli- gent, as elegant, and accomplished as any Haryard graduate. In the third place. Longfellow, though he was so young, ranked already distinctly as a man of letters. This was no broken-winded minister : who had been made the professor.

Molten glass has long been molded into a great variety of ware, but the blowpipe driven by air from a. man’s lungs has been deemed indispensabli for shaping jars and other hollow arti. cles, as well as window glass. A green invention bids fair to deprive the glass blower of his vocation, just as man} time-honored craftsmen in “the iron trade have found their occupation: gone. The first use of . the new glassmaking machines is the manufacture of fruit jars at Mun- cie, Indiana. One blowing machine is said to 'do away with the services 0! , three men, and it is estimated that tho same product can be turned out with only two-thirds as many workmen em- ployed. The introduction of these ma- chines in glassmaking is regarded, as fully as revolutionaryinithatftradc a: was the introduction of the Bessemel converter and the open hearth furnace, in the iron trade, or the typesetting‘ .machine self-binding harvester, etc. in their respectivefiloIdSr—Railway Re,~ view. . . .. ., ill.

' How an Audience of" 6.900 French Kalli; . cals were Affected by It. , _ Nothing of the kind in this world can be more impressive than the way in which an audience of 6,000 French- radicals receives that wonderful air (the Marseillaise), says Colonel T. W. Higginson in the Atlantic.Mo-nthly. I observed that the chorus of young men who led the singing never once looked at the notes, and few even had any, so familiar was it all. There was a per- fect bush in that vast audience while the softer parts were sung; and no one joined even in *the chorus at first, for everybody was listening. «The instant, however, that the strain closed, the ap- plause broke like a tropical storm, and the clapping of hands was like the taking flight of a thousand doves all over ”the vast arena. twinkling hands the light dresses of the ladies and the blue blouses of workingmen seemed themselves to shimmer in the. air; there was~ no coarse noise of pounding. on the floor or drumming on the seats, but there was a. vast cry of “Bis! Bis!” sent up from the whole multitude, demanding a. repetition. The moment the first verse was sung through for the sec- ond time several thousand voices join- ed in the chor'us; then the applause was redoubled as if they had gathered new sympathy from one another, after Whichthere was still one more great applauding gust, and then an absolute quiet. Summoning Help by Cutting \Vires. The person who wrote that electric- ity was one of the “mighty agents of nature enchained by the ingenuity of man” can scarcely have contemplated in 'his wildest dreams the full extent of that ingenuity, says the Electrical Re- view. For instance, he is scarcely likely to have prophesied that a sick man, far from the habitations of civi- lization, would have cut a telegraph wire in order to obtain assistance. And yet such has really occurred, accord- ing to a. London contemporary. The whole of the vast continent of Austra- lia. was practically cut off from Euro- pean news for nearly twenty-four hours in the middle of September in conse— quence of an interruption on the line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. In- quiries were made, and it was learned that the wire had been cut by a cyclist who was taken ill while on a journey across the continent. It is not related how he set about it, but he had the sat- isfaction, at any rate, of getting what he wanted. It is hot desired ”to estab- lish this as a precedent of summoning help under inconvenient circumstan- ces. , A Race of Men Turned to Stone. Curious human forms, outlined in sandstone, were found very recently in a. Minnesota quarry. With them were a- number of crude copper .cooking utensils, and all evidences point to the :discovery of some ancient race, ante- cedents of the Indians, inhabitants of the continent when the world was young. . The bodies have turned to stone. Not petrified, in thdgeueral sense of the word, but form a, cellulonent part of the rock. They cannot be separated from the rock that surrounds them ' without destroying their identity. They are simply outlines. _ Four such bodies were found, each one stretched at full length, with the hands crossed on the breast. Except in a general way features could not be It could be seen, how- ever, that the heads were well formed and cheek bones high. The shoulders were very square, and of great breadth. In length the forms varied from four to seven feet—New York Journal. The Queen Kept Her \Vord. A picturesque staiy is that which comes from Biarritz, and concerns it- self with the Queen of Servia and her jewels. It seems that while staying at Biarritz the Queen one day missed a valuable portion of her jewels. A few days later an advertisement appeared in the local papers to the eflect that if the jewelry were returned to the Queen she would present it to the poor of Bi- arritz. ' Two days afterward she received her lost or stolen diamonds by post, ac‘ companied by a sheet of coarse paper, on whiCh was scrawled in printed char- acters, “I 'shall be curious to see if a Queen can keep her word.” The Queen did keep her word, and present- ed the restored trinkets to the Sisters of Charity, who immediately organized a. lottery, which was eagerly subscrib- ed to by the visitors and residents 01 Biarritz, and the treasure was won by a poor little seamstress.
