TAXIXO KAILKO VIS.
The people in Maryland have
the .same problem that we have
in North Carolina: How ran the i
railro.nl: be made to pay tax ? If
! there is any just way under Iiea-;
. ven we intend to adopt it, and .
I the Chronicle is glad to get sug-1
jgestions from other Slates. Thej
i bill introduced in the Maryland
Senate provides that nc railroads
in that State worked by steam
hhall be operated or do business
as a common carrier, or haul any ,
ca:s, freight or passenge:s with j
out a license from the Comptrol-,
lor of the Treasury, to be issued j
on the 1st of March, and not to j
be issued unless the report re-i
quired of the President, Secre-!
tary, Treasurer or other officer
be lirst made to the Comptroller, ;
aru tJiat an laxes imposed oy
the act be fust paid to tha State.
The tax imposed is one per
cent, on the first $1,000 per mi?e
of the gross earnings of each
road; on the total earning, if
they are less than 1,000 per
mile; two per cent, per mile on
the next 3 1,000 of gross earning,
three per oent. on the next $1,000
and four per cent, when the
amount exceeds $3,000 and does
not exceed $3,000, and when thai
amount i-1 reached then live per
cent, on all gross earnings above
the same.
The penalties for failure to
comply with the law are rigid.
The Chronicle commends the
consideration of this plan to
Senators Kerr and Aycock, and
Representatives Carter, Holinan
and Sutton, who have been
charged by the Legislature with
the special duty of devlsimr
ways and means to tax the rail
roads in North Carolina which
now escapr . State Chronicle.

nev Ilobison related an
Otiinev Robison related an incident
of the early history of the oil regions
recently which may give the children
of the present generation a vague idea
of the magnitude of the transactions
which tooTc place when oil was S and
f'J a barrel, and joor people gained a
competency bv scooping it off the
burfucc of cretlis or gathered it from
pools around the tanks which had
overflowed. The story, as told by Mr.
Kobison, was as follows:
"Within a month after Col. Drake
had struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
means of drilling, my father and the
father of my relatives here bought a
tract of land, comprising 1,280 acres,
adjoining the farm on which the
Drake well was located, for ,",50, 000.
Not long afterward I was bitting in
their office one day I remember it
as distinctly as though it happened
only, yesterday when an agent for
an eastern svndicate walked in and
offered $500,000 for the 1,280 acres.
The owners looked at him rather in
credulously for a moment, but before
they could speak he had counted out
on the table $500,000 in cash and
drafts, which he offered for a deed of
the tract. I was appalled by the sight
of the pile, but my father and the
father of these gentlemen retired for
consultation, and decided that if the
property was worth $500,000 it was
worth $1,000,000. and the olTer was
refused. Their heirs still own the
land, and now it is valued at about
$20,000. Where they could have got
dollars we could scarcely get nickels.
Thus you can see what seemingly
fairy stories could be told of those
days. They arc almost incomprehen
sible to the present generation, but
they were ml hot facts." And a sigh
of regret that the offer had not been
accepted, went around the circle.

KinK Sliam Up I ens.
This is an era of shams, and shams
in dress, about which so much is said
and written, are particularly notice
able. It no longer pays to purchase
"good things," ljecausc good things
jro out of date as fast as poor things,
and their extra cost is dead loss, hence
expedients of ail sorts mark the ap
parel, the furniture, the houses even,
of this now almost defunct Nineteenth
century. A very expensive cheapness
has been substituted lor enduring in
vestments. There are some few old
fogies yet remaining who demand sub
stance rather than style, and who
trust they are getting an Al article by
paving an Al price for it. Let 'em
still hope I Do not disturb their cre
dulity in advance. But it is none the
less true that sham is king, precisely
as shoddy ruled the world in post hel
ium days. The source of this condition
of affairs is not far to seek; the in
creasing populations, the greed for
money, the struggle to live, ail com
bine to father shams and nurture pre
tense. Make believes are the order of
the day. Doston Herald.
Ilia Last Concert.
One of the most pathetic of sights
was that seen in the Boston music hall
at the last concert given by Mario, the
once famous tenor. He was poor, and
the hall was filled with persons who
had been ardent admirers of this won
derful art, and now that he had lost
his art were willing to put money in
his purse.
The tenor tried one of his crreat
songs, but his decayed voice refused
to sing the notes. Again he tried, and
again be failed. Then, with a sad
smile, and a slow, mournful move
ment of his head, he suffered the or
chestra to play through the air, and
retired from thestaare amid the silence
of the pitying audience.
Another pathetic story is told of
Bottesini, a famous violinist, concern
ing his last concert at Parma:
It was a rainy evening and the man
agers had forgotten to send a carriage
tor the veteran, who set out on foot
and had gone some distance before a
passing friend perceived him and made
him enter his carriage.
Arrived at the concert room, Bot
tesini tuned his instrument and began
to rub his bow with rosin. The rosin
crumbled in his hands, and, turning
vj ms inenas wiin a sac nan smue,
ho said. "See. it is so that Bottesini.
too, will break up."
xnen ne grasped his loved instru
ment and drew the bow across the
strings, but instantly stopped with a
wondering look, for he felt something
strange in the tone; Ids touch was an
swered less readily and certainly than
oi om.
Once more he tried, and once more
stopped, this time with a smile, saying
only, "It answers no more." His au
dience perceived nothing unusual m
the performance, which they applaud
ed as warmly as ever, but Bottesini
seemed to feel the shadow of death.
On the following day he was stricken
with illness, and soon after the won
derful hand was stilled forever.

Milk and Lnuuiry
The public anal vst of Halifax, York
shire, Mr. Ackroyd, thinks that men
tal aberration may sometimes be as
cribed to the use of weak milk. In
The Provincial Medical Journal, under
the title of "The Milk Supply and Lu
nacy," he draws attention to some sta
tistics of admissions to lunatic estab
lishments in Scotland. While the
average monthly number of admis
sions for the eight years is l,6Ui), in
the months of May, June and July
the number is 628 above the average,
and 462 below it for the months of Oc
tober, November, December and Jan
uary. Moreover, the rise and fall are
gradual; the number going up in Feb-.
ruary, March and April, and down in
Julv, August and September. Such
variations, Mr. Ackroyd believes, have
been -correlated with a number of
other phenomena, and he desires to
add one more to the list, viz., the sea
sonal variation in the quality of milk.
He has been at the pains to plot a
curve for tbe years 18S5-86, based on
over 33,000 samples of milk analyzed

the result of his investigations goes to
show that there is a curious corre
spondence between the rate of admis
sions to lunatic asylums and the qual

orloas Waya of Bookkeeping.
The bakers here have a rather orig
inal way of keening accounts which
may be called a kind of bookkeeping
by double entry. When the carrier
delivers a loaf of bread, which, by the
way, is about five or six feet long, he
is handed a wooden lath about a foot
long by the party to whom he delivers
the bread. From a collection of laths
of the same size, one for each customer,
he picks out this particular tstomer's
one, and placing the two parallel, he
cuts a groove across the face of both.
Ia the final adjustment of accounts
both laths have to have the same num
ber of notches. Cheap, but ingenious.

Inherited Blood Poison.
How many people there are whose dis
tress from sores, aches, pains and eruj)
tive tendencies are due to inherited blood
poison. Bad blood passes from parent
to child, and it therefore is the duty of
husband an 1 wife to keep their blood
pure. This is easily accomplished by a
timely use of B. B. B (Botanic Blood
Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., At
lanta, for book of most convincing proof.
James Hill, Allanta.Ga., writes: "ily
two sons were afflicted with blood poi
son, which doctors said was hereditary.
They both broke out in sores and erup
tions which B. B. B. promptly control
led and finally cured completely."
Mrs. S. M. William. Sandy, Texas,
writes : "'My three poor afflicted child
ren, who inherited oloou poison, have
improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B.
It is a Godsend."
J. K. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, X.
C, Feb. 13, 18S5, writes: "Bone and
blood poison forced me ta have my leg
amputated, and on the stump there came
a large ulcer, which grew worse every
day until doctors gave me up to die. I
only weighed 120 pounds when I began
to tafce B. B. B., and 12bot les increas
ed my weight to 180 pounds and made
me sound and well. I never knew what
good health was before."
