Mr. BulIock has Introduced a bill

the State revenues in the hands Of
county, circuit, criminal, chancery,
law and supreme court clerks, coun-
ty trustees and attorneys commits
stoned by the comptroller for the
collection of back taxes and to force
said officials to report promptly to-
the State comptroller.
All hope Of amending the Dortch
law so as to make it apply to every
county in the State has now been
shattered, and probably nothing
more will be heard of the measure
during this session.
The advocates of a constitutional
convention have about lost hope.
Should the Democratic caucus fail
to take definite action on the ques-
ton this week the idea Of a constitu-
tional convention will be abandoned
altogether, and then perhaps an eff
fort will be made to come to some
agreement on Mr.. Skeletons pro-
posed amendments to the constitu-
ton, permitting counties to adopt
their own road and election laws.
It is obvious that a road law which
suits the middle and eastern coun-
ties would be Of no practical bene-
fit to the western counties, hence
the idea of leaving to the counties
the settlement of the question.
The Democratic caucus met last
Friday night, but there was not a
quorum of members present, and
nothing was done. The revenue
bill, the assessment bill, the bill to
re-district the State into new judi
cial circuits and ehancery divisions,
and a number of important meas
ures are to be acted upon yet, and
it will require persistent and hare
work to put them through before

Economy In Foot Wear,

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style Of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest OF persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of a large
foot and forms a very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front Of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. CATERS, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles of dress.-Jen Miller Monthly

"A Vile Lie In the PillOry.

Weeks before the royal wedding it
was openly whispered that the Duke of
York, gallant sailor and a gentleman,
had made false step, had been forget
full OF his princely and knightly duties
and obligations, and had, in fact, been
secretly married and involved himself in
mesalliance, repugnant to his sense Of
honor and illegal in the eyes Of the well
known statute law. That law is simple.
None of our blood royal can legally con-
tract marriage without the consent Of
the relgning sovert i'm. Morganatic
marriages have been recognized as such,
and such love inspired sanctity as at
taches to these unions when faithfully
adhered to- The world knows all about
them and sympathizes with them. But
what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers,
the irresponsible, the chattering spar
rows who build under the caves of pal
aces?
Blankly this, that George Of Wales
was married: that the name Of the place
and the name Of the lady, alleged to be
the daughter Of a naval officer of high
degree, were known, and both names
and places changed and huctuated as the
price of scandal shares rose or fell in the
gossip market. Like i'll winds, the ugly
runor grew apace over the dinner table
and afternoon teapot. Men talked Of it

very ''outsiders' got hold of it, and all
the time the story was positively and alb

stant that the head Of our church would
have married our prince and princess
had he not first satisfied himself, as we
have reason to know he did, that the
silly story was wholly untrue, absolutely
baseless? The question carries it's own
answer. We contradict it directly with
uthority.-London Gentlewoman.

The tune of '.Yankcc Doodle has had
seven OF eight treatiscs written upon it
in the last 80 years, ascribing it to yali-
Gus dates and origins, even back to The
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Gharlescs. Dir. George Grove OF
London, author Of the .'Dictionlry of
Music and Musicians." has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But Yankee Doodle had an origin
and has a history. 1t was written by
Dr.. Richard Schuchburg, whose com
mission dates 1871, in the French and
Indian war of 1865 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as a

Calculating the Distance Of a storm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval Of
shorter OF longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound tray
els only at the rate of LOO feet per sec
ond, while the passage Of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately, how many miles a thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse Of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet, which
can be reduced to miles,
For example: If 30 seconds elapse be-
tween the flash of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance Of $4,000 feet, or about 64
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using watch with a
minute dial.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A Woman Who Got Along.

The ability OF a woman to get on alone
in the world is sometimes questioned by
her big brothers. But there are plenty
of instances where women have been
left in circumstances which would try
the powers of the stoutcst hearted man
to the utmost and have come out tri-
umphant One of these was mentioned
to a reporter the other day in connection
with a rough side hill farm i'll d remote
part of an inland town. There" said
our informant, pointing to the place,
'lived Aunt Abby S. when her hus-
band died. She then had three small
children, and another was born soon
after. The farm was in poor condition
and had about all the mortgage it could
bear. Her husbands old father. feeble
and f11ssy, was left on her hands.
did she send the old man to the poor
farm, think you? Not a bit Of it. She
kept him a year or two, and he was so
fussy she couldn't live with him. Then
she hired neighbor to take him, and she
paid his board II years, when he died
She raised her children and brought
the fa11lk into good condition. She paid
the mortgage, and when she died she
left a good property free and clear Of all
debts. The boys hadn't the old lady's
spunk, for there's Il mortgage up there
now, and nothing in the world but lazi-
ness did it. They had everything left
ready to their hands and amt had no

q ssim ao3s.cr Pound,

There is y lobster farm, or pound, as it
is called, IL acres in extent at Southport,
Me This pound is the most successful
on the coast. whence 100000 Holsters
are shipped each year. The pound is
formed by building Il solid dam across 4

top is placed IL fence Of iron rods, per-
hitting q daily change Of water and pre-
renting the Holsters from, escaping. In

When the fishermen bring the Holsters
to the pound, the fish" as they are
Called are hoisted to the dam, measured,
and those which are more than 10l
inches long. Tie legal limit are thrown in.
It IL lobster is clever, his life in the pound
may be long and full Of JOY. If he is
stupid he will be fshed, out with Il drag

The seine is made of stout twinc and is

which sustain the weight of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom Of
