OBJECT TO EXTRA TAX.

Nineteen Brewers Appeal From the State
Mercantile Tax Assessment.
Nineteen appeals from the appraisement
of Mercantile Appraiser Herriot were fled
Yesterday by the brewers of the county. The
brewers first appealed to the Appraiser from
the assessment of a State mercantile tax,
holding that the payment of license fee
was sufficient and covered all taxes due the
State,
The same question was raised last year
and Judge Ewing practically ended the
Question in favor of the brewers, though
their appeals were dismissed because they
had not been properly made. This year the
appeals were taken in the manner pointed
out by the Court.

IF NO WERE YES.

II No were Yes, and Yes were No,
The world would topsy turvy go.
A veto then would be assent,
Defeat would join hands with Content,
And war would mean arbi.rament,
If No were Yes, and Yes were No.
If No we're Yes, and Yes were No,
The timid would the bolder grow,
A blush of shame would bring delight
And harsh re5uffs would gain the fight,
The blacklist night would then be light,
If No were Yes and Yes were No.
II No were Yes, and Yes were No,
The poor would harvest veal from woe,
For Plenty, with sullsn face,
Would seek them out in every place,
And ugliness would then be grace.
II No were Yes, and Yes were No.
If No were Yes, an1 Yes were No.
The weak were strong, the high were low,
Grim disappointment would be bliss,
Who won would lose, who hit would
miss,
A frown would thus presage kiss,
If No were Yes, and Yes were No.
II No were Yes, and Yes were No,
Thy scorn would be my dearest foe,
Thy coquetries, which now fear,
Would bring thy day Of conquest near,
For through thy wiles I'd win thee, dear,
If No were Yes and Yes were No.

How Tea is Carried in Tibet.

The packages of tea, each about four
feet long, six inches broad and three or
four thick, and weighing from seventeen
to twenty-three pounds, are placed horl-
zontally one above the other, the upper
ones projecting so as to come over tue
porter's head. They are held tightly to-
gcthcr by coir ropes and little bamboo
stakes; straps, also of plated coir ropes,
pass over the porter's shoulders, while
little string fastened to the top of the
load helps to balance the huge structure,
which it requires more knack than
strength to carry, for its weight must
bear on all the back and only slightly on
the shoulders. In their hands the por-
ters carry short crutch which they
place under the load when they wish to
rest without removing it from their
backs. The average load is nine pack
ages, or from 100 to 200 pounds, but I
passed number of men carrying seven
teen packages, and one had twenty-one.
A man, was told, had few years ago
brought on iron safe weighing 400
pounds for Mgr. Biet from Ya-chou to
Ta-chien-lu in twenty-five days. Old
or decreipt people commonly travel
along this road borne on the backs of
porters. Many of the women potters
carried seven packages Of tea, nearly
200 pounds, and children of five and six
dged on behind their parents with
one or two. The price paid for the
work is twenty tael cents (about twenty
five cents; package, and it takes about
seventeen days to make trip from va
chou. So tar as my knowledge goes
there are no porters in any other part OF
the world who carry such weights as
these Ya-chou tea-coolies; and strange
as it may appear, they are not very mus
cular, and over half of them are con-
firmed opium smokers. - Century.

The Despair OF Astronomers.

The statement is made that the forty
inch telescope will bring the moon to
within one hundred miles Of the earth.
While not entirely accurate, such conf
parison will serve to show how little will
be disclosed of all that we want to know
most about the surface of the moon.
From the summit of high mountain
other mountains at a distance of one
hundred miles may be seen on clear days;
but they appear only as clouds. Details
cannot be made out. A forest seems
patch of color; the largest buildings are
mere spects when viewed from such
distance. And as for the surface of our
neighbors, Venus and Mars, the case
would, of course, be more hopeless still.

There seemed no nope. Mrs. Adams
was more hysterical than ever, and could
recall nothing of the combination. The
telephone rang, but Mr.. Price could not
be reached.
After the closing of the door, Marga-
ret had turned and glanced about her,
half-expecting to see some rays of light.
But the absolute blackness frightened
and oppressed her.
"How dark!' she said. II never
really knew before what real darkness
is"
She heard Janct's call family through
the thick door, and after exchanging the
first few words with her, waited with
such patience as she could summon.
The confusion of excited voices out
side very soon conveyed to her thought
that her danger Of suffocation might be
greater than she had in the first few
moments imagined.
4 slow terror crept to her heart, as
the sounds seemed to take on increased
agitation, and one or two screams reached
her strained cars. Her heart beats came
slower, and her breath already seemed
difficult to draw.
Janet called again, and each one of
her reassuring words seemed to tell anew
of the fate which might be closing about
her.
She guessed too we'll what the delay
must mean. She knew that Mr.. Barrow,
the senior partner, was out of town; that
his Junior lived in the suburbs, and could
not be reached before-what2
With strong shudderlngs she strove to
draw free breath, but already the suf-
locating air seemed to refuse any relief
to her gasping lungs. In paroxysm OF
despair she flung herself upon the floor:

beautiful a thing it was! How sweet

call attention to the fact that there are
thousands OF people born with thirst for
strong drink-a fact too often ignored.
Along some ancestral lines there runs the
river of temptation. There are children
whose swaddiing clothes are torn of the
shroud of death, Many father has made
a will Of this sort. I'm the name Of God,
amen. bequesth to my children my houses
and lands and estates; share and share shall
they alike. Hereto afix my hand and seal
in the presence Of witnesses" And yet per.
haps that very man has made another will
that the people have never read, aud that
has not been proved in the courts. That will
put in writing would read something like
this: "In the name OF disease and appetite
and death, amen. bequeath to my children
my evil habits, my tankards shall BIO theirs,
my wine cup shall be theirs, my destroyed
reputation shall be theirs. Share and share
alike shall they in the infamy. Hereto l of.
fix my hand and seal in the presence Of all
the applauding harpies Of hell"
From the multitude of those who have
the evil habit born with them this army is be-
ing augmented And am sorry to say thata
great many of the drug stores are abettln2
this evil, and alcohol is sold under the name
of bitters. 1t is bitters for this and bitters

Down with you, down with your Bitters!
