A Nurse's Experienos.
The Biagio Tax Theory.
Misery, said Prof, Ashley in his recent
lecture before the Political Science Club of
Toronto University on theeingde tax theory,
11 caused by at least three things : (1) There
is not enough produced in the world to sat.
isfy the needs of all and make every one
cornfortable ; (2) goods are not fairly divided
between employe•s.rnti employed ; and 113)
there aro moral defects in the human ewe.
At first blush the statement that the present
production of the world is insufficient to
satisfy the needs of all and render them
comfortable will, no doubt, appear to many
unwarrantable. For with warehouses filled
with goods waiting to be distributed the
general pope ar impression is that there is
rather an over than an under -production. A
little thought, however, will show that the
statement is literally true, and that were an
attempt made to render tho miserable con•
fortable the supply would be exhausted long
lidera the work was completed. Thomisory
growing out of this under -production hs
aggravated by the foot that of that whioh is
produced many have much more than they
need or can use. How to remedy this matter
and bring about a more 081101 distribution
of the good things of this life is the difficult
problem which social economists are trying
to solve. But there can be no question
that the greater part of the misery is
due to the third cause stated by Prof. Ashley
and to the intemperate and wasteful habits
that spring front these moral defects. Who
will deny that if the money spent in the sal.
eons was used in purchasing those things
Which bring 0Onhfort to the nome a wondoeful

misery would still exist, for even the man of

What exists at present would indeed,
hardly be worth mentioning, It is
plain, therefore, that these would, be
benefactors of their fellowmen whose

individual's environment are making an
egregious and radical blunder in ignoring
the fact that in this problem character is no
less important a factor than oireumstanee0.
Gallantry of the Bioux
.A correspondent, who has just returned
from Pine Ridge agency, tolls a story of the
visiting Sioux Indians, who are now fel
VVashingion. Ho said last night 1
n Reading in the Press of the reception
the Dndians received in °hurter last Sunday,
and the fact that they 01111ondecl the theater

that happened when They wow uh Cblongo
a fou dlays ago of lento to Washington,
she manager who Ilan ohargo of the visiting
Indians thotiglht 110 would ann c them by
taking them to the theater in the evening.
Ho never for moment thought that tragedy
would rouse the warlike nature, of witl0ih
the Sioux is so abundantly endowed, Well,
ho got them into several boxers all t'i;lit,
and everything went well until the tlurcl
act, The play was a heavy tragedy and in
this act the heroin was to bo 1(3l10(1. The
minute the villain attempted to strike the
woman with a knife, three of the Sioux rose
from their seats and actually prepared tc
leap over the boxes onto the stage .for tit
purpose of rescuing the heroit1e. TIm

by removing 0110 three refraototy Indlians
from the theater that the:actors, Would pro

ftwtory, and accompanied by the ofRcers he
visited the place. The janitor was in at-
tendance and threatening him with the
same fate that had mat his employes, if he
persisted in refusing to tell what he knew
as to Henry's whereabouts, he fell on his
knees and imploring mercy pointed to a
door loading to a little room or closet fn an
unoccupied portion of the building. The
0111/01.5 went to the door and kuocketl, get -
ring no answer they forced it open, when lo!
before their very eyes crouched under a
little cot in the room , on his face written
the terrible agonies which he suffered, and
his whole frame trembling like a leaf, was
the once respected and princely merchant
now a felon hunted to his lair. He broke
completely down and sobbed like a child.
" Don't kill me, gentlemen," ho exclaimed,
when he found words t b speak, "I surrender.
Take me and Dart me into prison, I deserve
to suffer for what I have done. Don't band.
cuff me, I will go peaceably." He was taken
from the room and thus within 24 hours of
his arrival in the City of Mexico Detective
Kellert had Henry ill the prison cells. But
the hardest and cleverest piece of work was
yet to be done. No money was found on
Henry'sperson when he was arrested and
there was 130,000 to account for, In the
room was a largo calve of soap about two
foot square. Mr. Keller' peeled off his coat,
fur the temperature was very high, and set
to week with a wire to cut up t110 cake of
0o',p.
Kellert took from Cho inside of the cake
an envelope containing 31000 in greenbacks,
sent to J. N. Henry by his 001) in Detroit,
to defray preliminary expenses. Thera re-
mained but one thing more and that was
the waste paper basket and to this Detective
Iiellert turned his attention, and after three
hours he sticceoded front the torn mites of
which he gathered, 111 Mooing up letters
from bars.Henry; his wife in Detroit, and a
telegram which ons dated Jan. 0, upon
which was the full explanation of whore the
money could be obtained. The telegram
stated that on that date, Jan. 0, $5000 of
the money had been sent by the Wells Fargo
Express Company from Detroit to the City
of Mexico, The parcel arrived the day fol.
lowing this discovery and was obtained by
Superintendent Kellert. The letter showed
that 310,000 more was in the Benno dos
National of the city in certificates loft there
for oolleotion. Kellert had his mem in prison
and every dollar of the hank'ts motley re-
covered. The (ext move was to ko before
the Governor and have Henry committed for
extradition, and as nothing more could be
done until the arrival of- the extradition
papers from Ottawa and being mode sure of
Henry's safe -keeping until his return to the

I had rather a painful experience this
morning, which haunted me all day. I went
to call on a poor consumptive patient and
found oho had died suddenly in the night.
The scone (night have come out of one of
Dickens's novels, I heard eager voices from
the open door as I climbed the steep stairs,
and, stepping in, found the family and soma
three 01' four female neighbors assembled,
and in the midst the poor woman laid out
on the be dead
d, and still' 133(1 motionless,
She was so emaciated that you could hard-
ly discern the body beneath the sheet ; there
seemed to be only a head, with the face all
altered from the day before, thin and stern
and placid. An elderly female, a sort of
Mre. Gimp, volunteered a garrulous account
of the death,
"She's a beautiful corpse," she remarked,
gloatingly pulling down the sheet for me to
see. ' See how nicely she's laid out, nurse.
I've had praotioe at laying out."
Then she consulted me in a professional
sorb of way, Should the corpse remain
where it wee, or did I think the }coning
board wield be a bettor place ? "The board
is rather short, you see,' she added, " and

to the consideration of the Chamber of

to French 1110001 officers upon their re-
tirement front active service under age -limit
clauses. M. Barbey snggests that frigate
