A representative of the lower house
declared that there should be chaHge.
i'll the method of taxing railroads. and
asserted confidently that the ehahgei
has to come now. Why" exchanged
he, ''this is the only state in the Union
where the lands of railroads are Bot
taxed. The present system of taxing rail-
roads on the gross earnings is deui-.
mental to the country outside of the
larger cities. There are counties that
are so poor that if is hard to raise neces-I
sary taxes. Ii they were allowed to tax
railroads on the mileage of track, or on
their lands, it would make a great DIFF
ference in the taxable valuation of
property. The time has come fora
change in the system, and a change will
come at some period. 1t is only ques-
ton as to how long the railroads can
delay the matter"

Another gentleman said: "The state
ought to stop the selling of school land
timber under the burnt district act. AS
it is, millions of dollars are lost to the
state by the selling OF pine timber on
school lands that ought to be preserved.
Almost every case where there is sale
OF timber Oh school lands, it is made i'll
the interest of timber men who want
the land, and the timber sold is on lands
that have not been touched by either
fire or storm to do any damage. The
timber is simply sacrificed in the inter-
est of the rich lumbermen. These lands
ought to be preserved until time when
the timber will be more valuable, or
until they can be divided up and sold to
settlers for their full value"
i
One other gentleman spoke of the
stone and timber act of congress. He
said that the precedent was set by all
act of congress of dozen years ago
when'the valuable timber lands of Ore
gon and Colorado were secured by a
few individuals. Later another act was
passed that extended the provisions of
the law to other parts of the country
and it has reached Minnesota. The
lumber kings are now laying plans to
get control of all the valuable timber
lands in this state. The plan is for
timber men to ask the survey of
townships. They are prepared with
estimates and surveys and have men
selected 10 file on the timber lands of
the territory surveyed. The surveyor
general makes the survey, and the land
is Immediately gobbled UP by the lum-
bermen, who know where the valuable
lands are. The people at large have no
chance to get the benefit of the act, be-
cause they are not aware of the opening
until the lands are gone to enrich the
few men who planned the opening"

In England during the reign of
Henry VIII the public miGd became
greatly excited through several cases
of poisoning. and parliament enacted
a law making boiling to death the
penalty. This law was on the statute
books about sixteen years. 1t was
made retroactive, so as to take in a
case that chiefly prompted its enact
ment-that of Richard Rosse, other
wise Coke, the Bishop of Rochester's
cook, who poisoned seventeen persons,
two of whom died. Coke was boiled
at Rochester. The iDfliction was at
tended with peculiar cruelty, as Coke
was put into q cauldron of cold water
aud gradually cooked to death.
A few years later, in March, 1912, a
young woman named Margaret Davy
was punished in similar way on con-
viction of poisoning. The public were
not satisfied as to her guilt, and, not
withstandiDg the comparatively slow
travel of news in those days, the story
of Margaret Davy's trial and punish
ment soon spread through the king
dom and aroused universal horror.
Boiling to death remained on the
statute books, however, as long as
Henry reigned, perhaps because the
monarch himself had a dread of being
poisoned. Immediately after his death
parliament repealed the law.-Pitts-
burg Leader.

THE WORK OF RELIGION.
In fhe Heart OF n Little Child.

II love them that love me; ant
those that seek me diligently shall fine
me. prov. viii, L., r. V.
The following remarkable circum
stances was related to Ann Miff1in
wife of Warner Miffiin, by person
who attended the meeting of Friends
although not member.
"Reading the life of Fenelon, one
First-duy morning, in my bed, two OF
my children being with me-a son OF
seven years cd, and d daughter of four
Il requested them to remain still
while read and to induce them to
be so, 1 proposed that they should
think for half all hour and then tell
me their thoughts.
"After pause, my little son replied,
1t was impossible to tell his thoughts
they were the same that had been in
his mind more than one year; and
that they were so delightful, the more
he thought, the more he wished to con-
tinue in that sweet meditation and if
all the world could get into the same
feeling, it would be impossible for any
to be damned.
"Being very much startled at such
an unexpected reply from 80 young a
child, / inquired of him if he could
iecol)ect the first time when he felt
these serious impressions. He said
they came on by degrees, and from a
desire to be good and serve God.
II then asked him If he was willing
to die and 60 to heaven. He said he
had heaven already in his own heart,
therefore he believed if he should be
called from this world, his spirit would
unite with God his Father. But he
wanted to live to pray for others who
were wicked and that many times
when he was alone he had burst into
tears for the sins of the world, and had
wished it were in his power to bring
them into the same feeling as himself.
He also said that he could not speak of
theie things to his companions at
school, knowing he should ba rid
iculed and also, that if I knew all he
suffered in his mind among such set
of wicked boys, I should weep for him.
Il asked him what he meant?
"He said he grieved for them, lest
they should continue hardened in
wickedness was sorry that they should
offend so good God, and was distress
ed for himself in struggling against
the temptations before him, and was
afraid he should do something wrong
himself but that these thoughtswhich
were continually with him, were his
comfort.
II asked him if he knew from
whence those thoughts proceeded?
"He said 'Yes, from God;' and
added, it was Gods Spirit in him and
that he sometimes enjoyed heaven
without waiting for DEATH"
After the child had left the room,
the narrator continued "My eldest
aged twelve years, who was
present, burst into tears and said ::
'What but the Spirit Of God could
make a child like this speak in this
manner?' Unpublished by the Tract

Painting and Staining Floors.

If the entire floor is to be stained
and the boards have not been prepared
for it, be sure that they are perfectly
smooth and even; if there are ahy

kind, 90 over the floor Carefully, with
putty for the holes, and sandpaper-t Tor

After all is smooth and even, give

may be made by adding an ounce or

fresh and clean.
A coat of bright red, or any dark
paint on kitchen floor is always a
source of annoyance 1t is impossible

the floor has once been carefully pre-

allowed to become perfectly dry before
there is any wear on it, you will have
very little trouble in keeping it bright
and fresh looking. See that it is not
scrubbed with soap and hot water, but
frequently wiped With warm water;
AMI when at last it becomes sppotted
with grease, or so badly soiled that the
warm water will not clean it, it may
be scrubbed and another thin coat of
the paint applied. This is not difficult
proceeding, in fact, it need not take
any more time than the "wiping up"
Have the kitchen work finished a
little earlier than usual some evening,
and the floor cleaned then. placing a
little paint in basin, thin it with tur-
pentine until it is merely wash, and
with a cloth apply it quickly and

long, will become thoroughly dry dur
ing the night, and you will find q
bright, fresh-looking kitchen await
ing you in the morning.-The House

The old South Carolina railway has
a curious history. 1t was one Of the
earliest lines in the country and, at one
time in its early history, the longest,
though it extended at that time only
1877 miles. The earliest trains were
moved by sails, and mules were em-
ployed until the early locomotives had
been made more efficient than they
were at first. Large sections of the
road were eff.ctualy destroyed by
Sherman's army near the close of the
war. In the early days of the war
railroads were simply torn up by the
Union or Confederate armies, and the
rails were promptly relaid as soon as
the enemy had disappeared. In later
years, however, the armies actually de-
stroyed railroads by burning the ties,
heating the rails red hot and twisting
them about the trunks of trees.
Grants army was frequently engaged
in that kind of work on the Weldon
and South Side railroad during the
seige OF Petersburg. and Sherman's
army did the same thing with various
roads on its march from Atlanta to the
sea. The South Carolina railway,
which has been in financial difficulties
for many years, is about to be sold un-
der foreclosure OF mortgages.-Ex.

every beginner in the Christian life we
would say: You can not trust your
self too little. and you can not trust
Christ TOO much! In fact the real con-
flict with you will be just this: "Shall
I trust myselfor my Lord and Savior?"
Your soul has no soul-lifting power,
any more than your body has power
to lift itself by grasping at the straps
of your boots. You can no more find
your way to heaven without Christ
than you can find your way through
the Mammoth Cave without guide
or torch. Let poor Peter in Pilates

CLEANING LAMPs.-If a lamp is
properly brushed out with e stiff lit
tie brush, which may be Kept for the
purpose, there is no need of washing
the burner. All that is necessary is to
wipe the burner out in every part with
a soft flannel or cotton cloth, which
should also be kept for the purpose.
This keeps the burners bright and free
from surplus oil and dust. The best
way of treating wick is to brush off
the chsrred part and thus allow it to
trim itself. If the scissors are used it
is apt to be uneven until the flame has
burnt it even. A few drops of alcohol
will do more to remove the dust and
smoke from the inside of lamp Chin
ney and leave it crystal bright than a
quart of water. When dust is difficult
to remove apply little alcohol on a
cloth.
