ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Mail and Empire: A_ prolonged period of Reform Government in Prince Edward I[-land has produced a system of taxation in that province. One of the taxes is an impost of $15 a year on commercial travellers or representatives of outside houses. Now the Legi-lature has supple- mented the Taxing Act by enacting a law which declares that if any outside house rrovi ce, and the esent throngh whom it sells bas not paid the fee and seenred the license, the amount for which the goods were sol] wil/ not be colieciaule. In other words,a biyer can penalize aseiler f the seller or his agent nas failei to psy $15. It is bad |>gisia- tion.

Montreal Witness: Two or three year azowho would have assaulted a govern- meat 20 «effectively vs Sr Richard Cari wright had it proposed at the fag end of a ses-10n 10 force a ioun of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars upon an unwil- ling commercial community to be +pevt upon 4 project which has never been de- sigved, the cost of which bas never teen estimated carefully by engineers, the desirability of which in the form proposed is denied by the very commercial interests which it is supposed to serve, againet whick the board = of trade, the corn ¢xcvange and the ebip- ping Interests have all publicly protested ? Che men who favor tats scheme are two politicians, Messrs, ‘l'arte and Prefontaine, interested in the vo'e o* the cons.ituency in which the expenditure is to be made. Who two vears ago weuld bave opposed such a prejece b forward in such a manner +o suoug y as Sr Richard Cart- wrigh:? Why curs be pretend to treat with scoro and to insinuate slauder ayains: tho-e wro oOppore such echemes and me hods pow? It is becanse he is a mem- brefthe goveroment which now does these thing-, because he is a colleague of the minister who forces such method. upon the, goverrment because, in other words, he is in office ?

AVOIDING “fA TOUCH.”

One Woman's Cheerful Method of Deny. ing a Polite Request.

Men have something to learn from women in the art of warding ofl **touches’’ for coin. Women respond ti such requests about once in every thou- sand times, but they are scientific in their refusaJs. A Washington woman with a reputation as a borrower turned up at the home cf oue of her friends th« other morning with a wuch done over story about a persistent and threatening dressmaker and the usual request for the loanm—‘‘pay it back tomorrow, cer- tain’’—of $5.

‘Why, my dear, certainly,’’ was the pleasant respemse to her carefully re- hearsed little yarn. ‘‘You poor thing, you! Just wait till I run up stairs ar - get my purse.”’

She ran up stairs. The male head of the house happened to be in the roon. where she kept ber purse. He saw bei dig the purse out of a cbiffonier drawer aud deliberately remove a wad of bills from it, leaving about 87 cents in silver and copper in the change receptacle. The man was mean enough to lean over the stair railing when his wife wen down stairs to the parlor with ber flat- tened pocketbook in her hand.

“Ob, I’m so sorry, Mre X.,° he heard her say, ‘‘but I really thought ] had the money. I find, though, that Jobn, as usual, has been at my purse—

tling a plumber’s bill last night when | was half asleep—and the mean thi: |

has only left me enough for car fare. Too bad! Of course, you know, if I had | it,’’ etc.— Washington Post.
