CHURCH CONsECRATIoN.-Bisbo Morris
was at Wulla Walla last Monday, and on The
evening of that day consecra,ed the Episco-
hal church The church building was COM
pleted four OF five years since, bat the Episco-
palians have a very proper rule that church
Is not TO be cousecrated until it is paid for.
By strenuous efforts on the part of Mr. Wells
and his congreg alton the debt of the church
was quite recently extinguished, aud with
this accomplished, Bishop Morris took the
earliest opportunity to consecrate the building
to religious purposes. After the conservation,
the rite of confirmation was administered to
six persons, two of then gallant army officers,
who were thus admitted TO fell membership
in the church. The ceremonies attracted
large concourse 10 The church, and the whole
programme was carried out in highly inn
pressive maner. The c. nsecration marks an
era in the history of the church, and shows
what can be accomplished by un'iring labor.
Five years ago the church held It's fret meet
iurs in the court house At that time the
membership was small, and the prospect for
building up church was anything but en-
couragiug. Nothing damned, Mr.. Wells,
the pastor, pers-vered, and to-day he has
large congregation, a handsome church build
ing, ana all the appliances necessary TO carry
on the great work 10 which be has oonsecra-
ted his life Auorher illustration Of the truth

DELINQUENT TAXEs-At the last session
Of the legislature important changes were
made in the revenue law, all of them looking
to a more SPEEDY collection Of the outs and
ing taxes. Under the ucw law the Sheriff Is
required to make bis return to The auditor
on or before the first Monday in May. After
this return i made, ali taxes remaining an
paid or delinquent, will "d draw interest at
the rate Of twenty per cent, per anDum,
and the TAX becomes perpetual lien upon
the properly" See. 43 Of the law provides
that "any person whose tax upon personal
property shall have been returned delinquent,
may pay the same at any time by taking
from the county auditor certified statement
Of the amount of such taxes, interest and
costs, aud paying such amount to the county
treasurer" The provisions Of the law are
imperative, and nll persons will bear in mind
that taxes remaining unpaid on ana after
the first Monday IN May will bear interest
at the rate Of - percent. per annum.

article, like the FIRST. is splendidly illus

nebula. In Language and The English

the University Of Aberdeen. attacks the
study of language from new standpoint,
showing that it Is really Of ve-y little val
