This is the sum, which may possibly
be added to our tax~list by the late de-
cision of the United Staes: Supreme
Court (the opinion by Chief Justice
Fuller) in Sanford vs. Poe. That case
holds that the property of an express
company liable to taxation by a State
is not merely the tangible property it
has therein, but it addition such prom
portion of its total capital as the busi-
ness done in such State bears fo the
entire business done throughout the
Union. The same is held to be true
as to railroads, telegraph, telephone,
Pullman Pallace car and other com-
inter-state business.

oBut let us furn to other corpora-
tions which ~weT krow. more _ about.
There is the Western Union Telegraph
Company with its capital stock of
$120,.400,000 on wnich it pays 6 or 8
per cent dividends, though its actual
{pliysical, tangible property is probably
oworth not more than $23,000,000, the
~ pbulanve being water. It levies upon
the people of North Carolina rates
: high enough to pay their proportionate

but chey pay taxes to the public only
on their few poles, wires and osich

on'ene fortieth of their $120,000,000
capital. Tis wili add $3,000,000 to
the tax list of he State. In the same
way, the Postal Telegraph Company
and the Puliman Palace Car Company
will add largely tc the tax-list.

As CLiet Justice Fuller clearly. pute
it in the Express Company case, oHow
is itthat $23,000 of horses, wagons,
sufes, etc., produce $275,000 gross
earnings in a year? The answer 1s
obvious.� And in like manner, and
with like force it may be asked how can
the bare $8,100,000 of the oSouthern�
in North Garolina( which alone is now
taxed) earn guod dividends, not only
on itself, but to pay interest on one-
fourth of $120.000,000 bonded indebt-

It may admit of consideration in the
light of the Express Company decision
if the large Life and Fire insurance
companies doing business in the State,
but with their headquarters North, are
not taxable on a prorata part of their
capital, proportionate to the amount of
business done in this State. The
wealth earners have borne the scle
burden ot taxation loug enough. It is
time the wealth gatherers and wealth
consuwers should pay ~their part. If
they can use a vast machine to thrus,
its fingers within the borders of our
State to gather up and take home its
wealth, it is fair that a pro rata part of
the machine used for that purpose
should pay taxes to the government,

What a Trained Nurse Must Be,
takes refined
woman with a strong will and gocd
oTt an intelligent,
sound sense to make a good rurse.�
the superintendent of a large training
school writes in the April Ladies:
Home Journel. oShe must be able 10
command the respect of her | atient.
She must be sympathetic, orderly, dig-
nified and incapable of betraying alarm
before her patient. She must be ready
and quick to act in any emergency,
but slow to assume authurity that be-
longs to her superiors. She must be
of a cheerful. hopeful nature. With
thesa attributes, joined to the practical
knowledge ot arranging a sick room,
preparing the invalidTs bed, removing
bandages, the giving of medicines (as
well as understanding their properties),
a knowledge of cooking and a desire to
do her duty regardless of her surround-
ings or of any adverse criticism, she
would be amodel nurse. There is, of
course, some theoretical
throu h text books and lectures to be
gone through, but without the other
qualifications no woman can become a
training
successfel nurse.�
Grocers are more or less interested
in hens and their product, and they may
be curious to Know how many eggs a
hen can lay. Ot course some breeds
are much better layers than others, and
so no statement can be exact. Buta
French writer of considerable repute
says that the ovarium of a fowl is com"
posed of 600 ovals or eggs, and conse"
quently a hen cannot lay more than 600
eggs in her whole lite, and in a natural
course, these ave distributed over nine
years in the following proportion.
First year after birth 15 to 20
Second year after birth 100 to 120
Third year after ¥ irth 120 to 135
Fourth year atter birth. . 100 to 115
Fitth year after birth 60 to 90
Seventh year after birth 35 to 40
