REVENUE AND TAXATION.

The highest prerogative of government,
and one of the most difficult to deal with, is
that of taxation. In his inaugural address
in 1871 Governor Booth aptly said: No
scheme of taxation has ever been devised
which was absolutely just /: perhaps none can
be-" This condition must be accepted, bat
the nearest approach to equality of taxation
that experience can suggest must be our aim.
The revenue laws of the State have been in
great part abrogated, and much legislation
on this subject is rendered necessary by the
new Constitution. The taxation of mort

In several sections of the State conflict
has arisen between the mining and agricultural
interests in relation to the debris washed
down by the rivers. The best interests Of
the State require that this most important and
most delicate question should be settled upon
some broad and comprehensive basis The

IRRIGATION.

The important subject of irrigation, with
special reference to the San Joaquin valley,
has been the topic of investigation by the
State Engineer and his able corps, and it is
expected that his report to the Legislature
this session will present some data upon
which may be based wise legislation.

The Solar System.

Bodies, like the moon, tell of times in
the remote future. The moon is eighty
one times smaller than the earth. Its
surface is thirteen times smaller. The
moon is believed to be q dead body
and to represent the earth as it will be
thousands upon thousands of years
hence. The solar system, as whole,
forces upon us the belief that the sys-
TEN has arrived at it's present stage by
development. Every orbit in the sys-
tenn movesi in the same direction, and in
the same manner. This is clearly the
result of law; and, as clearly, the law
is the result of process; if we could only
find out what that process was, we
should know all there is to know. The
whole system was once part of tre-
mendous whole. The great disk was
formed by the gathering in of the mat
ter existing in the heavens. From this
radiated the various masses which
formed the planets, and the central
mass of the sun was left to control the
entire system. As the earth has for
ages swept around the sun, so the earth
has for ages swept on to it's surface
masses of meteoric matter. All, my
friends, it is no idle dream. The air
we breathe, the food we eat, and the
earth which produces it-yes, even the
very dust of our bodies-was once a
part of the heavens. The heavens were
once our home.-Prof. Proctor.

Some Facts About Australia.

Australia, with Tasmania, is only
little less in area than Europe. The
hottest climate in the world probably
occurs in the desert interior of Austria
liza. Capt Stuart hung thermometer
on tree shaded both from sun and
wind. It was graduated to 1877 deg.
F., yet SO great was the heat of the air
that the mercury rose till it burst the
tube, and the temperature must have
been at least 1923 deg. F., apparently the
highest ever recorded in any part of
world. For three months Capt. Stuart
found the mean temperature to be over
10l deg. r. in the shade. Nevertheless
on the southern mountains and table
lands three feet of snow sometimes falls
in day. Snow-storms have been
known to last three weeks, the snow ~
ing from four to fifteen feet in depth
and burying the cattle. Australia is q
land of drought and food The annual
rainfall at Sydney has varied from
twenty-five to eighty-two inches. Lake
George, near Goulburn, was, in 1924,
twenty miles long and eight miles
broad. It gradually shrank till, in 1887,
it became quite dry, and it's bottom was
converted into grassy plain. In 1865
it was lake again, seventeen feet deep,
two years later it was only two feet
deep, and in 1875 it was twenty feet in
depth. r

Small Economies.

Large savings invariably oriqinatein
small sums, just as money embarrass-
ment arises from little extravagances.
Very few persons of ordinary honesty
deliberately set to work to make large
purchases which they cannot afford,
and yet numbers spend just as muck
in the long run in little things that
they scarcely think worthy of notice.
It is very difficult to realize fully the
valne of small sums. Little savings, if
made at all, must be made in personal
expenditure. What is spent over the
household is generally needed, but the
small personal luxuries which cost SO
little are not. And when ary saving is
made in this way the money should be
put aside as saved, instead of being
mixed with the spending fund, and
additions made to it as frequently as
possible; that will make you under
stand as soon as anything what small
economies amount to. When money
is put aside to be saved, it should be
put in some place where it cannot be
directly got at the savings bank; for
instance. The very fact that little
trouble and formula has to be gone
through with before it can be obtained
prevents it's being spent many time
when it most certainly would be if it
were close at hand. To. SECURE indie
pendence to ourselves is surely worth

The Pathan.

For mere brutality and roughness the
people of Afghanistan have no rivals in
the world. Though they may be the
most pious of Moslem, they discrim-
mate among the lnjunctions Of the
Prophet. To exterminate the infdel is
duty welcomed with enthusiasm, but
the command to battle is quietly
ignored. It may be regarded as an in
vasion Of private life not to be tolerated
by any independent Pathan. Accord
ingly, he does not wash his face in q
month, his body never. His great head
has never known comb. His clothing
of felt or sheep-skin is generations old.
No savage half human is SO dirty, none
so shameless in vice. Looking on these
ferocious giants, one must shudder to
think of their forefathers' part in his
tory. Imagine their foul rush upon the
delicate peoples of India, like swoop-
ing of fetid vultures ON sick lambi
Imagine the sack of Delhi by these
brutes! have seen the worst savages
of every continent, and I aver that there
are none so hldeous as the Pathan. In
his eye, large but furtive. his marked
features and set mouth, the gentle feel
ings of humanity have not trace Of
expression. The child scowls and
strikes; the man has no thought but of
plumber and blood. His laugh is ready
enough, rough, hoaree guffaw, which
shows the black fangs through his un-
kempt beard; but no one ever saw the
Afghan peasant smile.-AH the Year

THE COMING OF THE SNOW.

Until the darkness drifted down
To the summer forsaken town.

sit will be SNOWY or ''rwill be rain ;"
And school BARNS, laughing in row
Looked through the panes and wished to1
snow.
The swollen clouds let nothing fall
But gathering gloom, that covered all;
Then came the wind and shook his wings,
And curled the dead leaves into rings.
He made the shutters move and crack,
And hurled around the chimney-stack;
Then he swept on to shake the trees,
Until they moaned like winter seas.
Soon he went whistling DER the hill,
And all the trees again stood still;
Then, through the dark, the snow came down
And mutfied all the sleepy town:
Then winter went unto his throne,
That with million diamonds shone;
A crown Of stars was on his head,
And round him his rich robes were spread.
At morn the BARNS laughed with delight
To see the fields and hedges white;
And folks said as they hurried past.
Good morning-winter's come at last"

Disappearance of Fishes.

Disappearance Of sea fish from their
longtime homes occur frequently, and
for reasons unknown to man. The her.
ring have left the coast of Sweden,
where once they were numerous, and
the big-eyed or club mackeral, which,
thirty years ago, was common on our
coasts, is now so rare that Prof. Baird
has been unable to obtain it for his col
lection, although he has offered $50 for
single specimen. Whether the merits
of this fish have suddenly become known
to marine epicures, or whether the
chub-mackeral has found q deep-sea
larder Which is better stored than hi
old one was, must for tho present be
matter for conjecture. Perhaps funny
fish, sharks, porpoises, dogfsh, and
other lorday fellows with discriminating
appetites, might throw some light upon
the subject if they could be interviewed.
At one time the funny had driven the
cod entirely away frem the vicinity of
Block island, but the funny himself
having become attractive to oil men,
and purveyors to manufacturers of fish
guano, the cod hurried back to the
family homestead. Prof. Baird believes
that the demand for tunnies, dogfsh
sharks, etc., by the factories which will
turn them into oils and manures, will
have the effect of increasing the mum
Der of food fishes by lessening that o.
their enemies. @Grand, gloomy, and
peculiar" like other great slaughterers
these predaceous fish also resemble
their human prototypes in being com
paratively few in number, and in keep
ing themselves prominently before the
eyes of those who are eager to destroy
them.-Joh1a Habbertoae, in Harper.

The mOderate Use Of Tea.

W. j. Morton, in an article on Tea,
il the Journal Of Nervous and Mental
Diseases, arrives at the foil lowing gem
eral conclusions:
II 8a5.1 With tea, as with any potent drug,
there is Q proper and improper dose.
2. In liberation, tea is q mental and
bodily stimulant Of most agreeable
nature, followed by no harmful reac-
ton. It produces contentment of
mind, allays hunger and bodily weari-
ness, and increases the capacity and
the incentive for work.
3. Taken immode rately, it leads to
very serious group Of symptoms, such
as headache, vertigo, heat and flush
ings Of body, ringing in the ears, mem
tai dullness and confusion, tremulous-
ness, nervousness" sleeplessness, APP
prehension of evil, exhaustion of mind
and body, with disinclination to mental
and physical exertion, increased and
irregular action of the heart, increased
respiration.
Each of the above symptoms are pro-
duced by tea taken in immoderate
quantities, irrespective of dyspepsia, or
hypochondria, or hyperamia. The pro-
longed use of tea produces, additionally,
symptoms of these three latter diseases.
In short, in immoderate doses. tea has
a most injurious effect upon the nerv-
GUS system.
4. Immoderate teardrinking, con-
tinued for a considerable time, with
great certainty produces dyspepsia.
5. Tie immediate mental symptoms
produced by tea are not t.. ne attributed
to dyspepsia.
In an experiment. upon myself
the whole group of Symptoms was pro
duced, with no signs Of digestive trouble
superadded.
6. Tea retards the waste or retro
grade metamorphosis of tissue, and
thereby dininishes the demand for
food. sl 's.
It also diminishes the amount OF urine
secreted. s.s.. .,..s.. .......
7. Many of the symptoms of immod-
crate tea-drinking are such as may CO.
cur without suspicion of tea being their
cause; and we find many people taking
tea to relieve the very symptoms which
its abuse is producing. ~
