A Cheeky Man.

The checklist man of the season has
been found. He entered local barber
shop not far from the city hall and asked
if he might wash his face. The tonsorial
juggler said, "Of course"
"rd like clean towel, if you please" !"
said the stranger suavely.
One could have heard a pin drop as
the barber acquiesced and handed him a
clean towel
''May brush my hair" said the fas-
tidious caller, as he stepped toward a
looking glass. The barber left his custo-
mer and pinched himself to see if he was
really alive.
81 have agood, clear glass here. Now,
just little oil for MY hair. There!" said
@ .ae stranger. as he rolled Corinthian
bangs on his 55iies-white brow.
The barber opened his mouth wider.
"Now, just little wax on my mus
tache," said the visitor. He suited the
action to the word and twisted the ends
of his mustache to his satisfaction.
II am much obliged, SIR said the ex-
ira nice stranger, as he adjusted his hat,
strolled to the door and disappeared.
A liberal tanning and application of
cool water relieved the proprietor, but it
was an hour or two before he fully re-
covered.-Manchester Union.

besides the school tax, which varies in
the different districts according to the
needs of the schools.
County Auditor Rollins has very
nearly completed the work Of increasing
the county's assessment by the Is per
cent. demanded by the state board of
equalization. The total assessed valua-
ton after the raise will be $S3,5l4, ,229.
On this amount, the county will collect
$430, 900 in taxes, exclusive OF the states
share and the sum raised for roads.
The statute prescribes that the super
visors shall not fix the tax rate until the
fourth Monday of September. Owing to
the large amount of work to be done,
however, the supervisors agreed upon
the rate at an earlier date and commu-
nicaied the figure to the auditor, but no
official action will be taken in the mat
ter till the prescribed time.
According to General Rollins's figures
Los Angeles county will send to Sacra-
mento this year $405, 142, a sum nearly
equal to the amount expended in the
county government.

recognize the unpaid bills for ad-
vertisements, and claim that the bank
rupt has good grounds for suit for
heavy damages against the paper which
they allege deceived him into doing bus
mess with it to his destruction. Per-
haps, under the loose canons of modern
journalism, this mode of editorial attack
is permissible to limited extent. But
we do not believe that the widest latitude
of construction of newspaper ethics
would warrant its continuance for days
in succession to the exclusion of the
discussion of questions of public import
ance. A city must be very provincial
that will accept this character of edito-
rial pabulum as its daily journalistic
bread

walking Leaves and Twigs.

The walking and climbing leaves Of
Australia were for over half century
considered the greatest of natural Won
ders. A party of sailors wandered inland
and sat down. to rest under tree. A
great wind shook to earth several dead
and brown leaves. These presently be-
gan to show signs of life and crawl to-
ward the trunk, which they ascended,
and attached themselves to their respec-
tive twigs
Hence the sailors, who promptly ran
away, said the place was bewitched. But
the simple fact turned out to be that the
so called "leaves" were really leaf shaped
insects, having long, pendulous legs,
which could be folded out of sight, and
possessing the chameleon like power Of
varying their color to correspond with
that of the foliage they are clinging to.
Upon being shaken to the ground, in
stinct taught them to seek shelter of the
friendly leaves again as soon as possible.
These walking leaves are frequently
found in the woods of Illinois The
farmers call them animated twigs," as
they exactly resemble a bit of the tree.
They are green when the trees are green,
but as soon as the foliage changes they
become brown. The writer of this was
sitting under tree reading in the woods
of southern Illinois when one of these
"twigs," as it was supposed to be, drop
ped on the page. 1t moved and thus re-
vealed its identity. Its nature seemed
to be that of worm, and its vitality
that of the very lowest. It died as soon
as removed, and served as a bool1mark
for many years.-Detroit Free Press.

THERE is an element OF strong provin-
cialism in the leading San Francisco
newspapers, and it shows itself with
accented force in their habitual treat
ment of each other. In frontier journal
ism there is blunt, direct method OF
mutual abuse. The editors handle each
other without gloves, and an occasional
personal collision gives variety to the
roundness of their editorial expletives.
The metropolitan papers, however, are
little more polished in their methods
of abuse, but any one can read between
the lines the sulphurous vocabulary of
the frontiar newspaper man. But when
they shine out with exceptional efful-
gence is when they fight in pack. There
is one paper they all delight in bounc-
ing. Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart are
Just now engaged in worrying this
'.yaIier dog" in way which calls to
mind the treatment the country canine
receives when he enters a town. A
prominent dry goods merchant has just
failed. 1t appears that this unfortunate
man only advertised in one paper, and
that the paper which all the others are
constantly "laying" for. Here was an
opportunity not to be missed. Day after
day the other papers have rung
the changes upon the responsibility of
the assailed paper for the failure
of the dry goods man. They

THERE is a misconception abroad
about the tax rate that will be pro-
claimed by the board OF supervisors of
this county. The raise of Is per cent.
youchsafed to US by our friends, the
state board of equalization, makes the
total roll of the county $S3, ,514, ,229. The
county will require for current expenses,
exclusive of road repairs, 100000. Our
quota Of taxes TO the state will reach
the modest sum of $405,142. The rate
of 81 per 500 will exactly meet this
requirement. The road tax, outside OF
cities, will be fixed at 80 cents on the
one hundred dollars. With anything
like fair play this very onerous road tax
ought to give us road or two in return
that one could drive over without risk
TO man or beast, or the life to come,
from irrepressible birthstone words.

Antiquity of the Domesticated Horse.

The horse was probably first domes-
ticated on the plains of Central Asia.
This must have been at a very remote
period, for on the sculptured monuments
of ancient Assyria we find highbred,
carefully caparisoned steeds given in ad-
mirable outline, showing how familiar
and how favorite an object the horse
must have been to the Assyrians. The
name is long and flowing or curled or in
tassels. Three horses abreast drew the
chariot in which were three warriors.
Saddle horses led by grooms or bearing
horsemen are delineated, sometimes in
the thick of battle.
The horse was doubtless introduced
into Egypt as late as the time of Hyksos,
and sculptured representations of it are
often conventional types peculiar to later
Egyptian art. Instead of the life and
energy displayed by the Assyrian horse,
there is rather weak attempt to repre-
sent life and energy and the effect pro-
duced is mechanical. Probably the horse
of the Delta did not compare in beauty
or speed with the Assyrian horse. Ber-
jeau says he was more like the Dutch
horse of our day.-Caroline K. Sherman

THERE has been misapprehension as
to the status of the Tenth-street hotel.
The HERALD has stated that it was GER
tain to be built, and we supposed that
the statement was made on accurate in
formation. The facts of the case are
that Mr.. John o. Plank, the builder of
the great Ponce de Leon hotel in Flor
ida, is expected in Los Angeles on the
oath inst, and the proposition is to in
vite his attention to the advisability of
completing the structure. With this
object in view it is proposed to present
him with the foundation as it now
stands, with a subsidy from the adjoin-
ing property-holders. These induce
ments, it is hoped, will be sufficient to
engage the interest OF the great hotel
builder. This is our latest information
in the matter, and we give it in order to
correct the erroneous impressions which
reached us.

COUNTY TAXES.

The Rate Finally Fixed by the Super

Although no official announcement of
the fact has as yet been made, the board
of supervisors has fixed the county tax
rate and the road tax rate for the COM
ing fiscal year. The statement made in
yesterdays HERALD in regard to the
conclusion arrived at by the board was
incorrect in one particular. The 81 per
500 rate, which was given as the county
tax, has been ascertained to include
both the county and state taxes, which
is somewhat less than it was last year.
This 81 rate, OF course, applies only to
incorporated cities. In the county q
