"One Cent a Day,n

A Republican speaker abandons the
cry that the foreigner pays the tax and
resorts to mathematics to show how
easy it is for us to pay it, claiming that
zone cent day from every person in
the United States would pay the duty
on all our imports"
But one cent day is $3.65 year;
and for laboring man with wife and
five children this would amount to
$25.5 year. Our population is now
about 81, 100000; and one cent day for
every man, woman and child means
a yearly tax of $244, 900, ,000-to say
nothing of what the domestic protected
industries collect for themselves.

1t has been stated before the Royal So

earth has not long ago been deluged in a

of nitrogen is higher than the temperature

the fame is not hot enough to set fire to

A Warbling Girl.

A lady writing in the British Medical
Journal says that she recently heard a
young girl of fourteen years "whistle, 4"
as her people called it, but "warble" it
really was, for she kept her. mouth slightly
open, and the lips merely trembled, the
notes being formed in the throat, the
centre of it working as a birds does
when singing, and the sounds produced
were exactly like those of biackbirds and
thrushes. She warbled several airs to
pisnoforte accompaniments faultlessly
and most beautifully modulated, and so
powerful were the notes that her grand
mother, who was excessively deaf, could
catch every one without the slightest
effort in another room, little distance
off. In the same room some notes were
deafening when she poured them out at
the forte parts. She had been self
taught, entirely from "whistling' TO her
dog and sitting III the window to
''warble' to the birds.

tinues until August, attaining an eleya-
ton of from twenty-four to twenty-six
feet above low water mark, and flowing
through the "ValleY OF Egypt" in a

During the last thousand years there has
been but one sudden rise of the Nile,
that of 1929, when 3O,000 people were
drowned. After the waters recede each
year the exhaations from the mud are
simply intolerable to all except natives
This mud deposit adds about eight inches
to the soil every century, and throws a
muddy embankment from twelve to six
teen feet into the sea every year. This
being the case it is plain that the mouth
Of the river is thousands of feet further
north now than it was in the time of the
Ptolemies, and it is only question of
time when the sediment will make dam
entirely across the Mediterranean Sea.

AFTER THE cows,

The pasture reached to the bleak uplands

Firmly rooted amid the rocks, at the edge of
the great pine wood:
The brook from tho spring in the forest
leaped downward in clouds of spray,
And the tall ferns drooped and nodded their
heads above the bowlders gray.
The hush of the summer evening fell, restful
and cool and damp;
The FREELY in the buttercup meadows lighted
his ghostly lamp;
And high in the fare of the sunset climbed
up the dome of the blue,
As three little children went after the COWS,
barefooted through the dew.
The whippoorwill sang in the alders that
fringed the bank OF the stream
And, like the mystical music one hears in
beautiful dream,
The tinkle of cow-bells blended with the
ripping waters below,
And the full red moon in the shadowy east
on the horizon hung low.
The air was sweet with the clover bloom from
the nqueting-grounds of the bees,
And the woodsY scent Of the MOSES that hid
in the shade Of the trees;
The cow-path wound through the hemlocks
and round the high lodges curled,
Where, gazing out through the distance, we
saw to the ends of the world
We called the COWS through the cleaning

And down the path through the clearing they
thundered, and trampled, and roared,
With their believing heads borne high aloft
as they galloped to reach the ford.
Knee-deep in the gurgling water they
crowded and pushed as they drank;
They reared and hooked at each other as
they climbed the slippery bank;
They plunged their heads in the clematis as
it hung in its tangled net
And tossed on their horns the eel grass, SO
snaky and green and wet.
Three little children followed them close, all
fearless and happy and free.

An interesting contribution to the dis
cussion of American country roads
comes from Professor Richard T. Ely,
who afiirms that "poor roads cost this
country on the average over $50 a
horse" Ho is sustained by Professor
jerks, of Knox College, who thinks
1915 horse is a low estimate for this
loss" The Board of Trade, of Knox
vile, Tenn, has also made the sugges-
tive computation that bad dirt roads cost
the people of that one commonwealth
more than $7,0O0,000 a year. From
tables made upon other statistics it is
also declared that on a gravel road
horse will draw nearly one and half
times the load, and on macadam over
three times the load he can draw on the
common dirt road. The losses from
time consumed, from wear ON beast and
vehicle and from repairs in indirect ways
fall principally, of course, upon those
engaged in agricultural pursuits. The
average cost which produce carriers
bear in hauling to the Knoxville market
from the surrounding farming region is
estimated at $3.50 a load. This aver
age, it is authoritively stated, could be
reduced one-half upon good DIRT roads
and live-sixths over good macadam roads.
That is to say, one of the chief expenses
borne by farmers is doubled through
the extravagant economy which perpet-
yates poor roads. 1t is, comparatively
speaking, saving of cents and a spend
ing of dollars. The amount of money
annually lost in this country from coast
to coast through badly kept highways
can only be guessed at, but it is some
thing enormous.
