Manners, Not AIanncrfsm.

'sBfen's BEHAVIOR" observes Bacon,
should be, like their dress, not too
straight or point device, but free for
exercise or motion" There can be no
genial fellowship between afEsh}e,
courteous people and youT ssS3 h1cked
4oY1naf7stsy w}rife the intercourse Of TIE
Yatter with one another is necessarily
dull and dreary to the last degree
They can no more enjoy society in
their strait jackets of cold reserve
than % wretch in the stocks could en-
Joy the hilarity of the crowd around
him. Whoever desires to make friends
should DO cordial and conciliatory.
Nobody cares for automatic men and
women who seem to go by clock work,
and to want oiling at that. The error
of utter unreserve should be avoided,
too. 1t is less repulsive than its oppo-
site, but it does infinitely more mischief.
A man had better seal up his thoughts
and feelings in his own breast than
sputter them forth, in season and out of
season, to everybody he meets Such
incontinency Of speech is sure to make
the person guilty of it unpopular, and
to create general embarrassment and
alarm in the circle In which he moves

Australians Pastoral Areas.

Australia has in her vast pastoral
areas sources of wealth as great and
more permanent than those of her
mines. Already she has nearly 100,-
100000 of sheep, which in the mild
climate and under the sunny sky of the
country require no shelter throughout
the year and no food beyond what
they get on the open plains. It is true
that the sunny SKY may change to a
sky of brass, and that drought is the
dread Of the Australian shepherd, herds
man and farmer Occasionally there
is succession of dry seasons, and then
sheep have persisted by millions and
cattle by thousands on tho moro re-
Inoto stations.
To master recurring droughts is the
great problem of Australia's inland
future. Hero, as elsewhere, nature
challenges mans free advance and
places some special obstacle in his way
Australians are facing their task with
energy, confidence and with promise of
much success They have learned tho
art of drawing wealth even from scrub
land, of which a single sheep requires
several acres for its support. Irriga
ton works on largo scale have been
begun in Victoria and south Australia

n,s voice His Fortune

At q recent high jinks' os the Ten
derloin club a number of professionals
in the theatrical and musical line were
present and helped to enliven the occa-
SION by their songs, rccitations and
funny stories
Among these were comedian Ed
Stevens of the Casino company, and
Signor Tagliapietra, OF operate fame
Mr.. Stevens RECALLED the assemblage
with % series of amusing anecdotes, and
the signor, in response to repeated calls,
sang 1.-The Palms" and other musical
selections in his own inimitablo style.
Among the guests was an elderly gen.
tlenan from Schoharie county, this
state, whose knowledge of the stage
ond its representatives, however, is
somewhat limited. At the conclusion
of the signor's last song he turned TO
his friend and innocently remarked:
''That fellow there sings pretty well,
doesn't he? Why, should think he
could make his living by singing songs.
That's what I'd do atany rate, if had
his voice. As for that other chap
there" he went on, referring to Mr.
Stevens ''he'd ought to study for the
stage. There's the making Of fine
comedian In him."
The countryman was very much dis
concerted at the laugh which followed.
He was treasured, however, whom
Signor Tagliapietra came up to him
and said, II am indeed obliged, sir;
that was the finest compliment have
ever received in my life. New York

at kindergarten since her hast visit
He went through his repertoire pa

Raising Sand by Suction.

An improved process for raising sand
las been patented in England A
barge is used, having tank to receive
drainage or overflow of water there
from. a pulsoncter or other pump is
furnished with q suction pipe-part

bed or bank of sand, which is drawn
through it ond deposited in the tank.
Around the mouth of the suction pipe
arc placed Il number of hollow prongs,
suitably connected with another pump.
Through these prongs jets of water
from the water hole of the barge arc
forced, and the sand thus loosencd is
readily taken up by the suction pipe.

EoUALIZlNo TAXATION.
Powers Conferred Upon the State Boards Of
Equalization in Adjoining States.

BoIsE Cry, IDAHO, Nov. 20, 1891.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-The proceed
ings Of the State Board OF Equalization
in some particulars are now exercising
the minds of various newspaper writer's
in the southern part of the state. 1t
appears to surprise many worthy citi-
zens that there should be such thing
at all, but a reference to the statutes OF
other states shows that such bodies
prevail throughout the west. Their
powers and duties differ widely. In
Nevada the Board has power ITO in
crease or lower the entire assessment
roll or any class of property or individ-
ual assessment contained therein" In
other states their powers are less. They
may raise or lower classes OF property
as whole, but not individual assess
ments. In still others their power is
confined to aggregates OF real or person
al property in each county, and to rail-
roads. The valuation of railroads Is
committed to their special care every
where. Comparing the various statutes
as amended and altered In successive
sessions in different states, there will be
observed a tendency to enlarge the
powers of the State Boards in every
case. Why this should be is not appa-
rent, but such is the decision of the
people.
In Idaho there has been Territorial
Board of Equalization for four years
whose duties we're confined to assessing
and valuing railroads. The State added
other members to it and enlarged it's
scope to include all classes of property
but not to interfere with individual
assessment. In these respects it occu-
pies medium station. It's powers fall
far ehort of those conferred upon the
State Boards in Nevada and Washing
ton, aud are greater than those of CAL
ifornia and Montana.
These Boards are not In any proper
sense of the term instruments for rais-
ing revenue. Their functions are pre-
| cisely the same as county boards of
| equalization, but their field of action is
broader. Our board does not levy any
tax as does the board in Washington.
It adjusts valuations of property, and
the result may be that the total valua.
tion of the state is increased or decreas-
ed, but this is merely an incident and
not the object of their action. 1t would
seem TO be chimerical for any county to
attempt a notification of the action OF
the state board on the ground that 1t
raises revenue. 1t levies no tax, but
the plainest construction of the statutes
Is that it has original jurisdiction to
value and assess railroad property. The
value of this property was last year
greater than all the improved land pat
ented in the state. OBSERVER.
