LOCAL ScHoo1 AND ho4D 1Axrs.-Last week
we called the attention Of our officials to the
question of att, mptng the unlawful collection of
ocal school and road taxes. The State Board of
Equallzato has now settled that question by
folbidding Supervisors TO levy any such taxes
in the future on assessments made for the coun-
ty They say ell such road and school taxes are
simply unconstitutional and void, and so decided
by the Supreme Court in the case of The People
VS. Hastings, 20 California, and The People VS..
Sargent, October term, 1872. Tie law (politi-
cal Code, sections 1880 to 1874, incusive) pro
vdes the means for raising special school reve-
nue. by elections and special assessors and col
ectors. The Board says, in counties having 10
incorporated towns, general county road tax can
BE- levied but IN counties con ainng Incorporated
owns such IA tax would be uncun stitGtonal
Here the Board ens; because the same Constitu-
ZION they are quoting declares: "All laws of n
general natule ,h0H have untlolm oremticn.
Thus if under this law, which is general, the
supervisors cannot levy road tax III Nevada

levy such a tax on the people of Placer county.

ASSESSORS AND COLLECTORS OF TAxEs.-Las
week we gave the law governing Assessors ana
tax xpayers and below we give digest Of the
main constructions placed ON the law by the
State Board of Equalization. Special deposits
are not to be assessed to the bank but to tn,
person making them. The value of solvent debts
are what they would be taken for in lieu of money
the same all other property, not what the face
Of the note or claim calls for.
IN demanding list from railroad company,
the Assessor should require from the proper OIL
hcer thereof a statement:
First or the whole number of miles of rail
road belonging to such company III the State and
the number OF miles lying i'll his county.
Second-The whole amount of rolling stock
belonging TO such company in the State and the
proportion of such rolling stock taxable to sucl
company III his county, pro rata, III conformity
with the requirements of Section SECS of the
Political Code. The rolling stock should be sep
..ratcy assessed from other property of the rail
soad company.
Nahoat's ehonld be assessed at Tie full cash
value per mile tor each mile of railroad in III,
respective counties in which railroads lie. IL
d,teiIn ming this value the rule established by
the code should be kept view, and Assessors
'hould he governed 10y the same rules and Gil
,umstances which influence th il Judgment in
FIXING the value of other property.
lailroad buildings and other property belong
ing to railroad companies should be assessed
separately from the land and track.
Pre-emptors claims and interest in lands not
laid or should be assessed at the full cash value
OF the interest owned but when such lands have
been fully paid for they must be valued the sam,
as if patented.
Growing crops must not be assessed except as
adding to the value of the land Mortgages must
not be assessed but the money secured by them
must be assessed just as other solvent debts, at
just what they are worth as other debts.
Dogs are to be assessed at just what they art
worth and not at so much per head.
The following instructions beirg very impor-
tant we give in the language of the Board, as
they have been heretofore VIC ated by Super
yisurs:
County Boards of Equalization have no au-
ihority to declare any property to be exempt
rom assessment or taxation. Their powers ar
united to the exercise of sound discretion,
increasing or reducing the valuations of the As
SCISSORS, for the sole purpose OF making then
conlorin, or as near AS may be, to the well un-
AtIS,ood standard of valuation required by th'
eode. The statute has not conferred authority
on the Board of Supervisors to cancel or STRIKE

WOrmlEg Peach Trees.

In raising peaches, either for home con-
SUMPTION or market, there are certain du-
ties that should be gone through with
every year, for if they are neglected for
two successive seasons the results often
become fatal to the trees. One of these is
the important duty of displacing early in
the spring the peach worm, or grub, from
the body of the trees, near the surface of
the ground. The moth deposits the eggs
at different times from June until Septem-
Der in the tender part of the bark. Here
they hatch into light-cOlOred bOrer.
These destroy the sap wood, and unless
checked by some artificial means will
eventually kill the trees. The most ex-
perienced and successful peach growers

fall and spring, and do what is termed
''worm the trees" These examinations
may be made rapid and effectual. The
soil is drawn back from the collar of each
tree in turn, and close inspection made
for the castings" of these grubs. which
are sure to be within sight in case the tree
is infected. When such marks are dis
covered the workman is provided with a
with the point of which
the bOrer may be cut out, unless the cavity
is too deep. In this case piece of an
nealed wire is pushed into the opening,
the worm and saving the tree
from further damage from the cause.
This destructive insect respects neither To-
cation or variety of fruit, and when there
are only dozen of trees planted in the
garden for home use, the examination Is
quite as important as it Is In large 0rnI

The Thimble.

The name of this little instrument was
originally derived from the words
thumb" ana bell" being at first
humble, and afterwards thimble. 1t is
of Chinese invention. and was introduced
into England about the year 1875. by
John LOtting, who came from Holland,
and commenced its manufacture in Islng-
ton, near London, pursuing it with great
success. Formerly iron and brass were
used, but latterly steel, silver and gold
have taken their places. In the ordinary
manufacture thin plates of metal are in
troduced into die, and then punched
into shape. In Paris, gold thimbles are
manufactured to a large extent. Thin
sheet iron is cut into disks of about two
inches in diameter. These, being heated
into a red heat, are struck with punch
into a number of holes, gradually increas-
ing in depth to give them the proper
shape. lie is then trimmed, polished, and
indented around its outer surface with a
number of little holes by means Of a
small wheel. 1t is converted into steel by
the processes Of cementatiOn, tempered,
secured, and brought to a blue color. A
thin sheet of gold is introduced into the
interior and fastened to the steel by
means OF a polished steel mandel. Gold
leaf is then applied to the outside and at
tached to it by pressure, the edges being
fastened in small groove made TO receive
them. The thimDle is then finished and
ready for use.-FTeSide Visitor.

Hints on Nursing.

4 THOROUGHLY capable and good nurse

nature of the patients complaint, not
because she wants to doctor him herself.

physicians direction in an intelligent
manner. For instance, if it is measles.
she knows there is not much To be done
excepting TO keep the patient moderately
warm, to be careful that he does not take
cold. and to supply him with light food

who don't know what TO do, and cOnse-

is desirable to do so as near to the time

But suppose the patient has been very
restless and:wakeful, and he falls into

YOU it is lest to let him sleep, but you

practice surely not. Yet how Literally they

Bad News for Bald. headed Men.

DIR. j. NJ. Toner, of Washington. a
physician of large experience and close
observer of facts, says that according to
his observations nearly all persons of both
sexes who lived to the age of eighty years
and over retained a considerable if not a
complete suit of hair at the time of their
deaths. He comedies that there are ex-
ceptions to this rule, but insists that a
large majority of persons living at the
age of eighty or upward retain compar-
atively good suit of hair, or are not bald.
His hypothesis is that person who re-
tains his hair past the age of sixty-five
has good prospect of living to be over
eighty. The rule may be tested by any
one calling to mind the ages and condi-
ton of the hair of persons Of his ac-
quaintance of the ages indicated, the con-
dition of whose hair is known to him.
The vast majority of persons who be-
come bald, or lose their hair, do so be-
tween thirty-five and forty-five, and these
rarely live to be over sixty-five or seventy
wears of age.

Suffice.

The English nation has seen fit to sup

1t may be questioned whether England il
wise in thus interfering with the domestic
institutions of its colonies. India is re-
mote and alien, and what seems horrible
to US may be to our Hindoo friends
solemn and sacred joy. If the Indian
widow are forced to this s. lfsacriiice by
male and main force, or by the brutal ty-
ranny of an unregenerate public opinion.
it is well for the strong hand Oh England
to be raised in their defense; ,ut if it be
done from pure love and loathing-love
for the dead and lOathng for all the bereft
life that remainS; despair and loneliness
and mourning without hOpe-why should
We close the heavens to their chariot of
fire?
| rise to move, however. that il suffice
is to be abolished i'm India. the balance of
power shall be retained by establishing it
in this cOuntry-with one amendment:
that, if the expression may be pardOned,
the boot should be on the other leg.
When a woman loses her husband.
would have her make herself as comfort
able as possible. When man loses his
wife, let him throw himself on her funeral
pile and burn up. This is not only for
abstract Justices sake, to atone for the
poor women who have embraced the
flames in the Old World, but for the sake
of concrete justice and the best interests
of all concerned. If the ashland dies
with his wife, the grandfathers and grand
msthers, the uncles and aunts, immedi-
ately step in, adopt the children, care for
the property, and, so far as possible, make
good to the orphans the places of the lost.
Blood is SO strong that one or two re-
moves do not perceptibly weaken it. In.
deed, the danger is that the grandmother
will dste too much on her grandchild.
Indulgence and fondness will not be so
well tempered by wisdom as they were
with her own child. The sister will watch
over her sisters orphans with more than
a mothers vigilance, and the brother will
rear his brothers boy with the care and
cost of his own.
If the husband does not die, he imme-
diately becomes dog in the manger. He
neither takes care of the children himself,
nor can any one else take care of them.
In course of time he goes straightway and
marries strange woman, who may or
may not be i'm love with him, but who
certainly is not in love with his children,
and who is yet put i'm position which
only love can render tOlerable. Who is
so weak as to maintain that man would
not better have been burned? He may
moi like it at frst-doubtless he will not:
but ne will soon become used to it; and
Iced see no reason why he should not
