BUDGET BULL'S-EYES. I (FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) Now that the froth has gone down, it is beginning to be seen that Lord Rosebery's speech is, after all, rather small beer. It is full of rhetorical phrases, and it is dis- tinguished, of course, by that brilliancy which Lord Rosebery always displays. But there is scarcely a statement in the speech which will bear sober examination. He talks, for instance, a great deal about ''insecurity," "increased unem- ployment," "depression of trade," and so forth. Would any outside observer who read these phrases gather from them the fact that since the Budget was introduced trade has been steadily reviving, security increasing, and employment improving? We say nothing of employment, which naturally improves with the summer. But wo do say that the single fact that trade has steadily advanced since the Budget was introduced by Mr. Lloyd-George on April 29th knocks all those fine phrases into pulp. Or take another statement, of Lord Rose- bery's which will not bear the light. He began his speech by clearing away what he was pleased to call rubbish." Part of this "rubbish" was the statement that the in- crease in the Estimates was partly due to the demands of the Navy. None, I be- iieve," he said; "of the additional taxation provided in this year's Budget is to go to Z, our naval construction at all." It is extra- ordinary that Lord Rosebery should have made that remark, because- anyone who looks atstlie Naval Estimates can see that they have gone up by £ 3,000,000, most of which, of course, is being spent on con- struction. Is it not fair that the rich people who are protected by these Dread- noughts should pay something towards them ? But wherever one tests Lord Rosebery's speech it shows a similar looseness of fact combined with a surface brilliancy of phrase. His attitude towards the land taxes, for instance, must be described as simply being one of "fright." This is sur- prising, because, in regard to the super- tax, which is a far heavier burden than the land tax, lie is quite sensible. He offers to pay even more. And yet the land taxes are much lighter! < He talks as if the land taxes were laid upon all landlords in country and town. He entirely ignores the fact that they are laid only upon unearned increments of urban land. He seems especially alarmed at. the undeveloped land tax, which is a tax of only one halfpenny on capital value, when it can be shown to be increasing on demand for land. Surely there never was a more unjustifiable panic than Lord Rose- bery's fright over these small and moderate taxes ? The fact is, Lord Rosebery looks at the Budget from the point of view of a country landowner only. Lord Rosebery says that Glasgow is uot interested in the land ques- tion. That is just where he has gone wrong. The towns are just as much interested in the land question as the country. Take one illustration of how Glasgow, for instance, is interested in the land. Over a hundred years ago the site of the Glasgow- municipal buildings was sold by the city at 2s. 8d. per square yard, or some E800 in all. About twenty years ago it was bought back at B35 16s. per square yard, or some E175,000 in all—an increment of £ 174,000. If the increment duty had been in force, the tax on this "unearned increment" would have been over £ 31,000. Is that "revolution"? Surely Lord Rosebery was speaking more worthily of himself when in 1894 he de- scribed the taxation of ground values as "a sound and just principle." Take another point. Does' Lord Rosebery know-he must know-that 60 per cent. of the people of Glasgow occupy houses of one Z, and two apartments, and that over 100,000 souls are condemned to live in single- roomed tenements ? And all because the land is too dear for a successful application of the Housing Acts? It would perhaps have been a good pre- paration for Lord Rosebery's speech if he 5 had read the report of Dr. Russell, the famous Glasgow medical officer, on the overcrowding conditions in Glasgow: Five thousand of the one-room and 25,000 of the two-room houses contain lodgers, and )1 in some cases six, seven, or eight people sleep in the one room. f When great Lords—whether Dukes or Earls-say that our big towns are not in- terested in the housing question, they might do well to spend a day or two in these slums, where not even death can come decently. Hear Dr. Russell: I cannot speak to you in decent language of the horrible details. It is these houses that give the enormous death-rate. The ex- hausted air and poor feeding fill our streets with bandy-legged children. There the death-1 rate is 38 per 1,000, while in the districts of larger houses it is only 16 per 1,000 of the children who die before they are five years old; 32 per cent. die in houses of one apart- ment, and not 2 per cent. in houses of five apartments. Men who have solved the housing pro- blem by dividing their presence between five houses might reflect on this little touch in Dr. Russell's report,, describing the conditions of infantile mortality in Glasgow: There they die, and their little bodies are, laid on table and dresser so as to be out of the way of their brothers and s'sfers, who play, sleep, and eat in their ghastly. j company. I -#< j Nor is it Glasgow alone among our great towns that has this sombre interest in the .land question. Following the daily donun- jiition of the Budget, the Standard has published an article headed London's Burial Problem." This is what the Stan- dard says Some cemetery authorities, recognising the straits to which they may be driven in the future, are charging double, and, as with Tooting Cemetery, treble the fees for the burial of a person living outside the parish. Others charge four times the amount, while recently a South London cemetery authority demanded zCZ-0, in addi- tion to £8 18s., the actual cost of the grave, before allowing a non-parishioner to be buried in its ground. z, And where are we to find the reason for this state of affairs? Why, in those very in- creased values of land which the Govern- ment are being denounced as revolu- tionaries" for desiring to tax: Putney Vale Cemetery is now purchasing fifteen acres of ground, for which it is pay- ing P,450 per acre, and the cemetery authority states that the reason why it is now acquiring this land is because other cemeteries have had to pay as high as £ 2,000 per acre. The increased charges which are thus necessitated are naturally most keenly felt by the poorer class of people. "Most keenly felt"! And then they wonder that the Budget is popular!

j HOME HINTS. To prevent rugs from curling, sew some stiff material like buckram or hair cloth on the undersides of the rug corners. Brightly painted toys should be avoided when choosing presents for small children, for one hears of cases of poisoning from paint, and nothing is more likely to cause this than continually sucking a new toy. The longer iron is used, the smoother and better it becomes. Next to copper, it is the best material for retaining heat. For this reason iron stew-pans and kettles are best. To wash velveteen make a nice luke-warm lather with a good brand of soap, and wash through just as you would a flannel. The water should be removed by pressure, as twisting is likely to produce a shaded appear- ance. After the water is removed the vel- veteen should be well shaken, and hung in front of the fire, with the rig-lit Bide tov, ards the heat, which will raise the pile as the water passes away. When it is dry place over a thick blanket and iron on the wrong side. It is very difficult to remove mildew when it has taken firm hold of linen. The foPow- ing compound is always successful: Take equal parts of soft soap and pov,v .„d staicii, and half the quantity of table sait, and as much lemon juice as will convert the ingre- dients into" a thick paste. Cover the spots with the mixture, and leave the linen ex- posed in the open air till the mildew is re- moved. If you have to be economical buy good boots and shoes. They are cheaper in the long run. Buy them six months before wear- ing, and stand them in castor-oil, deep enough to almost cover the soles, for twelve hours. Eub a very little of the same oil into the upper parts, and put them, oy in a dry, cool cupboard. The castor-oil makes them more durable, and a cheap kind can be pro- cured from any chemist. -r- Much dripping will accumulate during roasting, and this should be clarified. Break up all dripping and scraps of fat into a basin, and pour on a kettleful of boilino- water. Next day the fat will have formed in a cake on the top. Take it off, if possible, without breaking. Scrape, all the impurities off the underside, wash out the basin, break up the cake, and repeat process, and then again a third time. Beef dripping is much L, nicer for cooking purposes than muttoa drippng.

HEALTH FROM HOUSEWORK. | r It has been more than once observed that the rosy cheeks and well-developed forms of many domestic servants are due to the exer- cise gained in their work. This fact has doubtless been taken into account by an ardent advocate of domestic pursuits, wiio boldly announces that as housework is a form of physical culture, every woman should take some part in it. It is necessary, however, to obey certain simple rules in order to obtain the best results. When sweeping, the autho- rity advises, the body should be kept erect. In moving furniture, too, it is necessary to be careful to avoid straining the body or overtaxing the strength. Bed-making is an ideal exercise for rendering the body supple, but the woman who aims at benefiting by the task must bend at the waist only, and avoid strained attitudes. CAKES AND PUDDINGS.—No. 2.
