a TAKING SUGGESTION.

Row About the Extended Limits
Under the Supreme Court Decision?
Editor Morning Net0s: AS the tax ques-
SioE seems to be the question of the day, it
appears to US that the city, under the recent
decision Of the supreme court, will have to
levy taxes ON the extended portion of the
c!ty the same as ON the older portion. Most
cllizens, "o believe, are under the impress
BIO That no taxes can be levied ON the ex-
Snoed portion for q period OF about ten
Years, but under the decision referred to,
thaG all property must be taxed alike and
10 property ID exempt except that which is
exenntcd by the Constitution of the state,
Neitner the clty nor Legislature having the
power 10 exempt property from taxation"
We think that tho mayor and
aldermen are legally bound to cause
luat property 20 lie assessed and taxed the
same as other property in the city. We
presume .he city levies a tax on po-sonal
property situated in the extended portion
OF the city, and if 50, why not on the real
es'atef II this property is taxed, the rate
God'G easily be inado per cent. for the en-
IRE city. As the city proposes to levy q
,aN on tho ground rent lots, we say, Let
tae good work 20 on" aud tax the extended
portion Of the city also; and, pending this
question, would il not be advisable Tor tax
payers 10 pay their taxes under protest. or
90 iorm fund aad make test casa of it
N tAe courts, 81 as 70 have Che question
fully decidedl \. Z. K.

Two Old Croniss."

Wednesday night Wills, Henshaw and
Ten Brock viii present ''Two Old Croniesn
The piece was here last year. AID is sue
cess. 1t is a laughable three-act skit, fash
toned much on the plan Of Hoyts prOduc-
tons, and is full Of fun and laughter
provoking to degree. An honest summing
up of the entertainment would be to say
that it is one of the most popular and
artistic and musical burlesque extrava-
ganzas on the stage. In the first act, where
the spectator is introduced to inmates of a
female seminary, the plot is unfolded. and
when the curtain falls the fun is in full
career. In tne second the frol reaches its
full hight, and from then on to the end the
laughter whirl of merriment goes with a
breezy and deligh full swing, and rapidity
of action that must be seen to be perfectly
enjoyed and understood. The sale of seats
will begin Tuesday morning.

More Light Demanded.

Editor Morning Nelos: Do not our city
fatlers intend giving US better system of
lighting in the southwest section? We do
not understand why they should have made
the change In this part of the city, as the
old system proved to be moro satisfactory
tnan the present one. No doubt if the
tower at the intersection of Bolton and
Montgomery streets was placed into on
Grafton the city could dispense with tie
lamps at jefferson and Gwinnett and VALID
burg and Montgomery streets, and the re-
suit would be more satisfactory to a com
munlty which now receives little or no
attention from the present administration.

HONEY VINEGAR

Not long ago we were told that the
finest quality Of vinegar could be made
from watermelon juice. Now Canadian
apiarist is making vinegar from waste
and second gradc honey. He states that
one pound of honey and one gallon of
water are the proper proportions to maze
n good vinegar. 'sThat is, twenty nine
pounds of honey will make (water enough
being added to fill thirty-two-g gallon
barely one barrel of the best vinegar.
The barrels used to make it in are COM
mon alcohol barrels, which are found at
drug stores. Saw out one Of the barrel
heads and paint the outside to prevent
the iron hoops from being destroyed by
vinegar. The barrels and vinegar are
kept in the cellar, so covered with bur
lap as to keep the dust out a1d let tina
mir in. One year converts this water and
honey into the choicest vinegar. More
age will make it sharper or more acid,
out at one year old it is fine enough for
any use. Sweetcned water from washing
honey drippings is the most common
waste of the apiary, and to utilize 1t is
presumed to be the desirable matter in
connection with honey vinegar Still,
with the low price of honey, bec-kcepers
nav find reasonable outlet for some of
their poor honey, such as is unfit to sell
Is an article of delicate luxury for table

now TO KEEP IcE-wATER

Ice is so expensive this year that l
am sure my hint for keeping itas long as
possible in the ice pitcher will be thank
fully received. A friend gave NE the
hint some years ago, and have prohtcd
by it many times. She said: Make with
strong brown paper, cover large
enough to drop over the pitcher like a
bell; make it of two thicknesses of the
brown paper and quilt u layer of cotton
batting between the paper. This you
will observe keeps the warm mir from
reaching the pitcher, hence the ice will
last longer than it would were the pitcher
uncovered. This cover need not be I'M
slightly and disgrace to our side-board.
Get new piece of red brown wrapping
paper for the outside layer and mark
square or diamond-shaped lines over it,
then put your cotton between the papers
and thread an embroidery needle with
green, blue or yellow zephyr and quilt
along the marks in long stitches. twill
be easy enough to make bell-shaped
continuance to slip over the pitcher and
completely cover it. Make loop OF the
zephyr or attach worsted ball to the
top by which to lift it from the pitcher.

THE MOLE A NUISANCE.

NIoles are IN intolcrable nuisance in
fields and gardens. And yet they area
defended by scientific persons, WHO
would have us believe that these pests
feed only upon animal food, as worms,
erubs and mature insects. The mice eat
the seeds and roots, they say, following
in the passages of the moles. But if the
mice are thus enabled to dcvour seeds.
and roots in the ground, that is sutfi-.
cient reason for the determination of the
moles, who thus make way fer the
mice. But the statement that moles cat
no vegetable matter is wholly without
truth or excuse, fori is easily disproyed.
The writer has now before him the con-
tents of the stomach of a mole, which
show under the microscope the starch
cells of the seed peas or corn the animal
has eaten, and the digested matter
proves, by the iodine test, to consist
largely of starch. That mole in con-
6ncment in glass jar will not eat soaked
peas or corn is no proof that it will not
cat them when free, in the soil of a gar
den. When worms or insects are
scarce, and moles are hungry, they will
eat vegetable food, no doubt, just us
field mice, supposed TO be vegetable
feeders, will consume worms and in
sccts as freely as peas or corn.-Na'o

HORSE Shooting.

Many good horse has been spoiled
BY bad shooting. Who has not felt like
choking blacksmith, who, By careless
ness, has driven nail into the quick, or
from bungling work has left the shoe to
project, or the nail heads in such a way as
to cause interfering, or who has cramped
the foot or otherwise by misat caused
corns or lamencss. Want of mechanical
skill, natural carclessncss, too much
strong drink-all these are prolific
sources of trouble in blacksmith.
Norris this merely applicable to fine
and high-priced horses Sometimes
blacksmith, who Gun do fairly good
work, if he tries, will be utterly needless
when working for ncighboring farmer.
Bungling and misit work are, in his
mind, good enough for farm horses.
Such blacksmith deserves to be ridden
on rail out of the ncighborhood.
Farmers should demand the best work.
1t is not only shame and cruelty to
shoe horse improperly, it is positive
pccuniary damage to the owner.
In this c0nncctlOn VIC arc pleaScu w
note that the British Parliament has be-
fore it bill for the official registration
of farriers and shoeing smiths. 1t is
proposed that no one should be per-
mitted to shoe horses who had not pre-
viousIy obtained from the Farrier's Com
pany diploma, which would only be
delivered after careful examination into
the mans technical and practical knowl-
edge of the business. The latter is one
in which technical instruction is essen
TALLY requisite. "For unskilfnl treat
mcnt, whether in medicine, surgery, or
even in the shocing of a horse" as the
New York Tribune we'll says, lis only
one remove from carelessncss, and
whereas the human creatures are able to
protest and complain, the poor beast is
obliged to bear in silence, and can only
indicate its sufferiues by limp"
The Farm, Field and Stocknsnn would
suggest that similar measures be adopted
in America by all our State Legislatures.

Hci First Glass.

A lady who was passing the summer
in the country at farm some miles
from town one day took the little daugh-
ter OF a farmer in her phaeton when she
had occasion to drive to village half a
dozen miles away, says the Boston
Courier. The child, who had never
been there, was at once amazed and de-
lighted with ill the novel sights
which presented themselves to
her eyes, and the lady found not lit
tie amusement in the naive comments
which the farmers daughter made.
Before starting for home the lady
took the child into shop and ordered
glass of saltwater for her. The
child, who had no idea Mt all what this
strange liquid might be, watched with
closest attention while the attendant
made the strip foam in the glass, and
when it was given to her she bravely
set her small brown nose into the shin
ing froth, although she did not seem to
End much satisfaction in the drink un-
til she came to the sweet sirup at the
bottom.
aWell, Araminta. the lady asked as
the child set down the glass with sigh
of satisfaction, chow did you like your
soda-water?"
@Oh, thank you, marm," was the an
swer of the novice; Il liked the so da-
water frst-rate after got through the
suds."
