In addition to these demands, tn, fact must
be taken into consideration that one third of
the ordinary receipts into the revenue fund is
set apart for the use and benefit of the public
schools.
AS an evidence of efficiency on the part of the
county assessors, county clerks and collectors
in the assessment and collection of the reve-
nue., the auditor gives table showing the per-
centages of delinquency in the ueyeral coun-
ties.
AS regards the future rate of taxation, the
auditor closes bis report with the following sig
nifcant paragraph:
Section of article 10 of our constitution pro-
vides that whenever the total valuation of taxa.
$500, COO 900 the state revenue tax rate shall b,
reduced from 20 cents to l5 cents on the si0l
valuation ~ & 70 tne aSsracts t .bs o. IN
port, it will he seen that that point has been
reached, and unless the state board of equaliza-
tion, which meets the last Wednesday in Feb
ruary, shall, IN ,equalizing and adjusting the
valuations of the several species of property
between the counties, reduce the total to less
be reduced to the rate of Is cents on
the 500 valuation, This board, ut its meeting
in February, 1890, fixed the total valuation at
graph property: When it meets next February
the abstracts of assessment of property in the
counties, certified to this office, will, with the
property. foot up, probably, about s9lOO6O.OSO
It is evident at glance that levy OF Is cents
on the 500 valuation in 1892 on assessment or
S9l0,O00009 will not be sufficient to meet the
transfer of one third of the receipts into tho
revenue fund appropriated for 1852 by tho
Thirty sixth general assembly, for the support
of public schools and to pay the expenses OF the
state government. The difference between the
taxes raised on this sum at this rate will DO
$500 ,445 less than 20 cents on the 500 on SS77,-
722 779, the total assessment for 1891 taxes. This
is serious problem and must be solved, for IL
will be impossible to meet the demands on the
revenue fund with reduction of $500, 445 in the
oiIafu

THE DATES OF EASTER.

1t has been over 1 800 years since the
rule was adopted which makes Easter
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line.
By this arrangement of things Easter
may come as early as March % or as
late as April 25. AS all readers of the
Republic, foreign-born or native, have
some superstitions concerning this
fast day, have compiled the follow
ing facts concerning the days of the
month upon which it has fallen from
1903 to 1891, inclusive. In looking
over the dates | have been struck by
the variety of days represented, which
include every one in the month of
April except the last five, which, as
shown above, are mot in it, Since
the date mentioned (1S03) it has Oc-
Cured three times ON the 10Th, five
times on the 10th, five times on the list,
four times each ON the Cd, l. It'll and 18th,
four times on March 31st, four times ON
April 9Th, three times on the 4th, 5th,
18th, 9Th, 10th, 18th, 14th, and 22d April
and 27th and 28th March. March god,
1918, was the earliest date upon which
it has occurred. Nine days in March
are represented, viz: 22d, 23d, 25th,
Goth, 27th, 2Sth, Goth, 90th and 31st.

LIFTING An ELEPHANT.

From Harper's Young People.
London has been entertained lately
by feats of strength that are certainly
remarkable and probably unsurpass
ed in modern times. First there was
man named Sandow, who was an
enormously powerful man he was
succeeded by Sampson, and he in
turn by an Irish-American named Sui
Ivan. Curiously, the three names be-
gin with the letter 8, which is also the
initial of strength" and of the Greek
word for strength (sthenOs). Sullivan,
the latest conner, is thirty years of age,
stands feet 81 inches in height, and
weighs 169 pounds. His appearance
presents little that is unusual in the
way of muscular development, and
his biceps are neither very large nor
wonderfully rigid. 1t is in his neck
and jaw that his strength chiefly lies,
and the majority of his feats are such
as bring this popularity into special
prominence. AT an exhibition given
in London he fastened a chain to a Sc
pound weight, and the other end be-
ing gripped between his teeth, swung
himself round and round until the
twirling chain assumed nearly hori
Zontal line. The feat was repeated
with the weight doubled, and as the
performer, with both hands to his
hips, and using every sinew in his
frame, swirled round and round, the
audience wondered with anxiety what
would happen if one of the links
should fly asunder. The most remark
able feat, however, that Sullivan per-
formed was the lifting of an elephant
by his teeth. 1t was a baby, tits true,
but it weighed about 1900 pounds,
and was lifted a clear three inches
from the ground, its whole weight
pendent from the jaws of the man
above. Sullivan was not successful in
an attempt to break chain with his
arm, having injured this limb on the
previous night. He succeeded how
ever, in proving that his prowess was
not entirely confined to feats with his
teeth, by lifting barrel of water,
weighing $50 pounds, with the middle
finger of his right hand.

TINE TELLING FLOWERS.

Almost every flower has time for
opening and closing it's petals, and a
particular way of doing it, But there
are some flowers which are regular
clocks, and others are regular baro-
meters.
The common "chick weed" is sensi-
tive to cloudy weather, and the pin
pernel" or poor-man's weather glass,
hangs its head at the approach of a
storm.
There is a flower called -four
o'clock" which opens at that hour
The ''morning-glory opens at three
o'clock in the morning and closes
about nine or ten, according to its To-
cation. The evening primrose
opens between five and seven O'Clock
in the evening :.
Plants sleep just as animals do.
When the little ''marsilia," water
plant, goes to bed, its four leaves meet
with click that can be heard. Some
petals droop in slumber, and others
fold crossways while few curl up
lengthways.

o Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head
Our load was laid on Thee;
Thou stoodest in the sinners stead,
Didst bear all ill for me.
A Victim led, Thy blood was shed;
Now there's no load for me.
Death and the curse were in our cup
o Christ, twas full for Thee!
But thou hast drained the last dark drop
IT'S empty now for me.
That bitter cup-love drank it up;
Now blessings draught for me.
Jehovah lifted up His rod
D Christ it fell on Thee
Thou vast sore stricken of Thy God;
There's not one stroke for me.
Thy tears, Thy blood beneath it flowed;
Thy bruising healeth me.
The tempest's awful voice was heard
o Christ it broke on Theei
Thy open bosom was my ward,
1t braved the storm for me.
Thy form was scarr'd, Thy visage marr'd,
Now cloudless peace for me.
For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died,
And have died in Thee;
Thou'rt risen my bands are all united,
And now thou liv'st in me.
When purified, made white, and tried,
Thy Glory then for me.

DO YOUR TRADING AT HOME
1t IL an Error TO 20 Abroad for Goods
which can be Bought In your Own

1t is n feet that goods are sold at retail In the
small towns where rents are cheap, IN uch low
er than the same goods can be sold in tho
cities where rents and taxes, and living gcner.
ally, are much higher.
1t is also true that your own home mcr
chant Is more likely TO sell You the right
goods than the city merchant. The home
merchant knows your need or wani, and, it Is
TO his interest to treat You squarely. The city
merchant Is stranger who never expects to
see you again. and may be less careful to sell
you the right goods.
Not one buyer i'm ten is n Judge of goods
and he must trust the merchant with whom
he trldes, no matter whether lie Is Il friend ol
u stranger.
The idea that q few dollars may he saved by
ordering groceries is talaciouS. The list price
of some standard article may he Il shade less
but when the freight and drayagc are takeI
into consideration, you can do just as well a
home-if you pay the cash.
Every city newspaper urges the citizens tC
patroniZe home enterprises. Why should no
the country people patronZe their own home
markets?
Don't run up your credit account until 1t II
near the danger line. and then send of you
cash for goods.
Buy at home, where you see what you buy
and where you have Il known dealers guar
antee.
! Stick to your home merchant, and you will
do better for yourself than in sending OFF u
strangers.
