i m The iron schedule will, it is believed, give the committee a. good deal of trou- ble because of the coiiflict of interest between the New England members, who desire free ores and free coal, and the Democrats from the Northern Ala- bama. and Eistern Tersevee, who desire the retention of the duty. TAX INCOMES ABOVE $2500. _ The threatened deficit in the revenue will be met by an income tax, if some of the Democratic members of the House who are urging the proposition are to be believed, The pressure has beeh strong to impose a moderate tax ‘uponincomes above 82500 in preference to putting duties back on tea, coffee or sugar. The Advantage or Singing Over Ollie!- Ae. "oourntietrner"s-Wtsta1ies to be Avoided. Good singing has a. great advantage over other accomplishments. It gives the greatest amount of pleasure to others, and, as a rule, is a never failing source of delight to the singer. It is also an exercise which is so beneficial to the lungs that it has been proved beyond all doubt that many persons with weak chests have been Perma- nently strengthened by a careful and judicious use of the vocal organs. We may here observe that the practice of singing, particularly in the case of young children, should be insisted upon by parents, as, although there may be no evidence of any disease of the lungs in them, yet by the daily practice of The bill which passed the House in the Congress regarding cotton bagging and binding twine made both absolute- ly free of duty, but there has been some opposition to those provisions on the, ground that they were not in halo mony with other parts of the tariffand a. moderate duty may be retained. Block tin will probably be made free of duty, as was unanimously voted by the Ways and Means Committee at the last Congress at the demand of the tin plate manufacturers. CHINA AND SILK. The chinaware schedules will proba- bly be reduced 10 pencent. on the exis- ting sales of 80 per cent. and 55 per cent. The McKinley Bill restored the duty on coverings, which are a large element_in the cost of chinaware, and practically made the increase in duty much greater than the apparent change in the ad valorem rate. Tom Johnson, Ohio, has protested very earnestly against restoring the the sugar duty, and has bad the sup- port of other western members in pre- ferring a moderate income tax to a renewal of the customs duties on the necessaries of life. The exact rate ot the income tax has not been determined, but it will apply to all incomes above the amount named, with certain allowances for house rent and for losses through fire and other causes. It is calculated that an im. mense revenue can be derived from a very small tax upon incomes earned by professional and business men through- out the country, and this will realize the disproportionate burden imposed upon the poor by some of the tariff duties, The adoption of the income tax will practically settle the question of increases in the internal revenue taxes on whiskey, beer and tobacco are likely to beleft untouched. The silt interests may not suffer much of a cut, and the duties may be left at 50 per cent. as und, I' existing laws The duty on tin plate is likely to be reduced 2 and 2-10 cents to 1 cent per pound for the present, with perhaps a reduction after a few years to the free list.

But it is believed that the. duties will remain substantially the sauna the maximum being forty per cent, and the ad valorem rates below that figure being gradually reduced 5 ps-r cent.

FOR AMATEUR SINGERS Toronto,Nov. 11.-The identification of George Herbert Stokes, the crank who wanted to borrow 220,000 from Sir Oliver Mowat, is now thoroughly established, and it is expected the friends of the mar', who has been re- manded co jail until next Tuesday, will arrive here next Tuesday to look after him. He is George Herbert Stokes, the son of a wealthy broker doing business in New York, who spends the summer in Warreston, N J Stokes is liberally provided for, and when his mother dies he will come into possession of $1,000,000. In vain the banker protested against such hasto. The crowd that had gathered about the disputants said that the member of the institute was right, and the banker after sending for another pair of nether garments surl'en- dered the ink-stained ones amid the laughter of the by-standers. "Now that you have been paid, I hope you have too much delicacy of a gentleman to remain in my trousers. You know they are mine, and I insisn upon their immediate delivery to me. You have no otmfidence in me; I have none in you. My trousers I." Ottawa, Nov. 9,-A letter has been received here re English operations in Canadian hay :-lt is astonishing to see the large quantities of foreign hay about town, but the Canadian takes the palm. If the Canadian shippers would only be particular in shipping, all would be right; butI am sorry to see this trade drifting into the hands of our brokers. Now I would urge one thing, namely, for every bale to be labelled Khsmulian' that the consumer may know the article he is really cont sunning. As it is, Canadian hay sells best, and hundreds of tons of inferior Irish and South American is palmed off as Canadian, whereas, if this trade can be kept distinct from such frauds I am convinced this will be a growing trade tor years, and not many years but what it will be a paying trade. I have heard men who keep and feed a large number of horses the year round say that they would/as soon have Canadian hay as the best English. I have also heard a horse keeper to one of the largest car: riers, who keeps 600 horses, remark that their horses give better of Cana- dian hay than any other at a less cost of one shilling per horse oer week. This shows that shippers should be par- ticular and keep the name Up. I am of opinion thatit would keep itself, up if properly labelled. I have got all our Bristol dealers to advertise it as Canadian. "But sir, I will cheerfully pay for them. Be good enough to give me your card and I will send the money to your hotel." "To my hotel, air, I don't know you. I must instantly have the 30 francs these trousers cost." The member of the institute drew forth the 30 francs and handed them to the banker. Then he said '. A very absent-minded member of the French Institute was reading the news- paper in the casino at Dieppe the other day. He was absorbed in his reading, and with his left hand he unconsciously pushed the files of newspapers on the table Each moment: he sent; them fats ther. from him, Beyond the papers was an inkstand, which at last the moving papers pushed over the side of the table. It fell on the trousers of a Paris, ban- ker who was furious at the accident. The absent-minded man offered his best excuses without. appeasing the banker's wrath, who shrieked that his new trousers were rumed. In conclusion, we would impress up- on students to avoid all eccentlicity of style and contortion of features when singing. The latter may be overcome by practicing in front, of a looking-glass. which will have Je F (feet of correcting all tendencies to such bad habits.

It Is a matter of fact that nothing can be more injurious to the respiratory organs than to compress them into a more limited space than nature has " ready providl-d for them.
