DIRECT TAX.-Concerning the re-
funding OF the direct tax, a complica-
ton has arisen in West Va. We read
1t has been discovered that in the
counties of Jefferson and Berkeley the
direct tax was collected by agents of
the Government and from the people.
At the time Of its collection it was
doubtful whether these two counties
would remain part of Virginia or be-
come portion of West Va. The Gov
eminent officials were not disposed to
await the settlement of the question,
but agents were sent through the coun-
ties and forcibly seized upon the prop
erty of citizens. The Treasury officials
admit that no matter how the dispute
is decided, the law requires that the
money taken from the citizens of Jeff
erson and Berkeley shall be returned
to them. The records show that in
the two counties about ten thousand
persons are interested in the refund y

As to deciding the length of the
school terms, the new law provides
that the School Board or twenty or
more voters of district can have the
question of the number of school
months submitted to the voters at the
election for County Superintendent,
good for two years. The new law does
not go into effect until after the cleo
ton of superintendent this year in
which case the State Supt by the add
vice of the Attorney General suggests
that petitions snail be presented TO the
Board of Education in districts where
more than four months school may be
desired, signed by twenty or more
voters, the Boards are then to submit
the question to the voters at TIE cleo
ton for Superintendent in Iiay neat.
The County Supt urges that such petit
tionS be gotten up ct once where more
than four months are desired, and let
the petition state expressly how many
months school are desired.

THE CHlLD-klNGS
A Quaint Old Religious Procession on tho
Spanish Coast.


Spanish Coast.
One of the most charming festivals
of a religious character to be seen in
Europe is that of the Three Kings, or
Magi, celebrated every winter on va
riable dates at st. Jean de Luz in
Spain.
The church of St. Jean de Luz is
said to possess some relics of those wise
men of the east who followed the star
until it lay over Bethlehem, and led
them to the manger where the Christ
child lay.
In the old days this festival was
general in the country round about,
but it is now confined to procession
in the town. in which all the religious,
civil and military authorities join.
The chief feature of the procession
is the trio of kings, represented by
three beautiful boys in fine oriental
costumes, their long trains borne by
pages in costumes of the time of Francis
the First.
The chronology is little mixed, but
the intentions are excellent and the
effect of the whole is like that of
looking into some illuminated missal
of the middle ages.-N. Y. Journal.

Use and Abuse of Perfumes.

Let fair women beware of using per-
fumes of pronounced and aggressive
odor, lest they offend and ALLEVIATE the
regard of her friends. One of the chief
causes of the separation of the king of
Holland from his first wife was the
penchant of Queen Sophia for the scent
of musk, which odor was intensly dis
agreeable to her royal consort. So
generously did she indulge her passion
for this perfume that not only were her
own apartments permeated with it, her
clothes, hair and belongings offensive
with it, but any room through which
she passed would smell for days after
of her favorite perfume. The secret of
the fascinating fragrance which seems
to surround and emanate from dainty
women lies ever in the constant use Of
most delicate and faint perfumes whose
odor is intangible and suggestive
rather than the liberal use of permeat-
ing and intense odors, which are sure
to offend some sensitive olfactory or.
