Pertinent Just Now When the Subject
a Matter of General
Discussion.
Incomes are now being taxed. It is,
therefore, desirable that something
should be known about them. An in-
come is anything you cannot
live upon expressed In terms of law-
money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the
of a state legislature, or a police
captain, or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes; to He about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will not have to pay any are complain-
to their friends and neighbors
about the way they are oppressed by
the Income tax. This is one of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary In size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present. No Income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family it is
vainly attempting to support. Here It
generally despised and looked down
upon.
An income tax Is an effort on the
part of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also to
support the government in Its main
business In life, namely, living beyond

larger income than any one else,

Ill-Favored Creature Hat Been
and is Just Beginning to
Be Appreciated.
Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative And
toad.
Formerly the toad was considered
a venomous reptile, but in our day
its habits have been more carefully
observed and Its great value to tho
and gardener bas been
fully established on account of Its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance of the In-
reptiles. Including the
striped snake, as well as that of the
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear of these
and would be found more desirable
than a cat, as they are wholly free
from trespassing on the rights of man
as does the cat. The toad Is possess-
ed of a timid and retiring nature,
dark corners and Shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many Instances might be cited of
pet toads remaining several years in
a family and most valuable
ice with no other compensation than
that of immunity from persecution.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the
of the Insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.
Innumerable Connected
From Time Immemorial With
Wild Creatures.
There are very many superstitions
connected with wild animals. In the
case of a lion, it is believed that the
wearing of a claw of this animal will
bring great strength.
People connected with circuses and
shows have a saying that when lions
get restless and uneasy, either HI luck
or extremely bad weather is at hand,
and that when they continually wash
in cat-like fashion they are
likely to have fits of HI temper In the
near future.
Numberless are the superstitions
associated with the tiger. The natives
of India believe that its whiskers are
a deadly poison, and that when finely
chopped and secretly put into a per-
son's food they will assuredly cause
death. What is as the
is greatly dreaded in India, and
to avert this parents hang the claws of
tigers round the necks of their
To see a wolf is supposed to be a
good sign, but if a man sees a wolf
before the wolf sees him. then he
will become dumb for the time or lose
his voice.
For a hare to run across anyone's
path is considered a very bad sign In
some parts of England, because In
olden times it was believed that witch-
es transformed themselves Into hares
In order to bring bad luck to their
