The Idea that over $330,000,000 can

: country on top of the State and local
j taxes without being “felt” ought to be
! too preposterous on its face to require
: rel'utal. All the Federal taxes upon
i consumption, even those of the inter
nal revenue system, are now “indi
rect." That is, they are paid directly
by the importer, the manufacturer or
the producer, but indirectly, yet as
sure as fate, by the consumer. A man
who pays 2fs cents extra on every
pouod of sugar he buys, or 12 cente a
hundred on salt, or 60 per cent, on the
value of imported clothing, or 8 cents
a pound on tobacco, m»y not “feel” it
the same as he would if he went to a
tax collector, paid the amount and
took a receipt. But it comes out of
him when added to the price of the
article, as of course it inevitably is.

tween men in business transactions.
In a gathering recently of five or six
gentlemen, most of whom, at least,
am reputed to be wealthy, doubt was
expressed by each one if there is a
man in New York who could draw his
check for $1,000,000 and have it hon
ored in actual cash. One of the gen
tlemen, an eminent financier, said:
“If you will take up the bank reports
and run over the figures you will be
astonished to see how few banks have
actually $1,000,000 in cash on hand.
That tells the story at once of any
man’s ability to check out $1,000,000.

The Art of War.
Chicago Herald.]
The command of a large army tasks
the resources of the greatest mind. It
is one of the highest of human
achievements, and by common con
sent the first rank of fame Is accorded
to the great Generals. To move an
army and to feed it on the march re
quires a higher order of generalship
than to fight it. Thirty hours with
out supplies would reduce the best
army to a helpless mass of disorgan
ized humanity. Food for the men,
forage for the animals must not only
be provided, but must be at the pre
cise spot when wanted. Napoleon,
the great master of the art of war, had
a score of marshals, any oue of whom
could fight a great battle, and scarce
one of whom could lead an army on
the march.
An army on the march resembles
nothing so much as an enormous ser
pent, stretched out mile upon mile,
and moving, alert and watchful, with
steady and irresistible force. Let
dangers threaten and it hastily coils
itself together and prepares to avert
or overcome the danger. Shrunk to a
fraction of its former dimensions, it
shows Us fangs and is ready for attack
or defense. The danger overpast, the
great mass unfolds its coils again and
stretches ont its huge proportions in
progressive movement. The brain of
this mighty animal, the supreme
mind that controls its every motion,
is tbe general in chief.

O C. Shivers, who lives six miles
from Cuthbert, has a fine cow. Re
cently the milkmaid has complained
that the cow was failing in milk, but
no reason could be assigned for the
shortage. On Tuesday evening Mr.
Shivers was at the lot when the cow
was turned in, and noticed that a 3-
moulhs-old shote immediately went
to tbe cow aud followed her about the
lot, rearing up against her bind legs.
Tbe cow fought the hog away for
awhile, the pig's hoofs plowing into
her legs, no doubt anno\ Ing her. But
she soon lay down and the hog at once
proceeded to fill his stomach with the
milk, the cow apparently enjoying
the milking process immensely.

A few cases of hydrophobia has arous
ed them to a sense of danger duriDg
the heated season. The rule adopted
is for the Marshal to notify all own
ers of dogs tbat have purchased collars
to keep their dogs confined on certain
Dights, as on these nights he will kill
all dogs found on the Btreets. He then
arms his deputies with Winchester ti
tles or double-barrelled shotguns, and
a lively fusilade is kept up during the
night, and next morning ten or a
dozen dead dogs may be found lying
about in different parts ef the town.
It is a rather harsh but sure remedy
to jlrevent the spread of hydrophobia.

road near Sioux Falls a few days ago,
each in a carriage. They bad jnst
passed where a farmer was. busy set
ting round cedar posts for a barbed-
wire fence, when the man who was
behind drove up in a trot, overtook tbe
other and said:
“Good morning, sir; I would like to
ask you a question.”
“All right, go ahead.”
“I want to know what those things
are which that man is planting there
and if he expects them t j live and grow
in such dry soil?”
“Here’s a coincidence, sure enough,”
replied the other, “that’s precisely
what I was going to ask the first man
I met."
“Oh, I beg your pardon, I thought
perhaps you were interested in a farm
around here.”
“Oh, no, not by any means. I am a
member of tbe Dakota Board of Agri
culture.”
“Is tbat so? I am certainly glad to
make your acqnaintance. I am on
tbe Territorial Agricultural Fair Com

W. J. Florence, the comedian, in a
letter to a Louisville friend, wrote
this suggestion: One gallon of whis
key costs about $3 and contains about
sixty-five 15c. drinks. Now, if yon
must drink, buy a gallon and make
your wife tbe barkeeper. When you
are dry give her 15c. for a drink, and
when the whiskey is gone, she will
have, after paying for it, $6.75 left,
and every gallon thereafter will yield
tbe same profit. This money she
should put away, so tbat, when you
have become an inebriate, unable to
support yourself and shunned byer-
ery respectable man, your wife may
bave money enough 10 keep you untU
