The state board Of equalization is
bound to conclude that county and
township assessors have assessed all
property within their respective iu-
risdictions in the same proportion.
Or, il they have not done so, that
county boards of equalization have
eoualiIed all individual assessments.
Hence. the state board takes no no.
tice OF individual assessments. Its
only duty is to equalize assessments
in gross between the counties.

KEYTESVILLE. MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JULY 20. 1894.

The state board OF equalization
cannot equalire assessments between
the different counties like q parent
might equalize lot OF apples he
tween his children. by taking the
surplus apples from one child and
giving them to another, and thus
leaving the number Of apples divided
among all the children the same.
To try to apply such q rule in the
equalizing Of assessments would be
insxpressibly silly. Whenever you
add to" the assessed value OF the
property OF any county in order to
bring it mp to its true value, as the
law directs, you necessarily add
that much to the aggregate assess-
ment OF the entire state. And when
ever you take from the assessed val
ne of any county in order to reduce
the assessment 60 its true value. the
opposite 10 true II. then, when all
the counties have been gone through
ths undervaluations have beeng great
or than the o~er-valuations. the
aggregate assessed value Of all the
property In the state is bound to be
increased.

Killing

"There are two ways of killing croc-
odiles, " writes an ex-resident of India
Zone is by shooting with rife, but the
most satisfactory way of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing, is to bait a good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten it by
a chain to a good long rope, the end Of
which is firmly picketed, the rope being
coiled and the bait laid in shallow wa
ter. There must be lots of slack line, as
the crocodile does not swallow anything
at once, but seizes it and takes it into
deep water to gorge. A number of lines
may be laid and looked up in the morn
ing or cool Of the evening. When hook
ed, it will take a good many men to
haul a crocodile out, and as he resents
the operation and can use his tail as
well as his jaws one or two sportsmen
viii find considerable entertainment in
dispatching hum with spears. Some croc-
odiles grow to an enormous size, and
their NAV always contain round white
stones, and often trinkets, the relics of
inside passengers. The writer assisted
at the death of a not extraordinarily
large 'snubnose' which had six women's
rings in her. "-Badminton Library.

A Maid of An Work Adjective.

1 inquired of the head mistress of a
girls school why she so frequently made
use of the adjective mice. She replied,
Because it is such a useful maid of all
work adjective and saves one the trou-
BILE of thinking!'' ''Then you teach your
girls to be inaccurate?" 81 don't think
it is being inaccurate. The word in most
cases expresses my meaning better than
any other. Arelative of mine reproved
one of her nieces for her liberal use of
lawfully jolly" The young lady re-
piled: "Oh aunt, do not deprive me of
that awfully jolly expression If I were
deprived of it, 1 shouldn't know what
to say"
The frequent use of the expletive
'you know" was justified to me on the
ground that it keeps the listeners at
tention awake.
The fashionable novel presses into its
service these flowers of speech. In Mr.
Norris Countess Radna" a young gen.
tleman thus addresses a young lady,
'I'm so awfully sorry that you are
going to desert u.s." ''I'm awfully sor-
~ to have to CO." replied the girl COM
posedly, land my parents will be aw-
fully sorry to see me-"
Of this young lady's two lovers the
author himself declares in the same
chapter (24) that one was much s'nicer"
than the other. In chapter 81 the nicer
one, in declining an invitation, says,
Thanks awfully, but I'm afraid I
can't. Notes and Queries.

near this, which was known to be more
than 80 years old, died finally of good
old age and was purchased and trans
ported in its entirety to the Chicago
fair. This one is Al to so years of age
and hale and hearty yet. At the base it
is So inches in circumference. 1t grows
straight up for about 8 feet, then di-
vides into six branches, and at this
point is 5 feet in circumference. At a
height of perhaps 2 feet it spreads itself
in all directions over an immense arbor
covering a space by actual measurement
Of rs by Sc feet. It bears in one season
6, 500 pounds of the purple mission

as it is eaten and given away by its

that prince among landscape gardeners,
Furst Hermann Won Puckler- Muskau,
who somewhat bluntly expressed his
disappointment at the slow rate of prog

grounds-improvements which he had
himself suggested on the occasion Of a
previous visit. The future emperor plead
ed his limited means. "But does your
royal highness never borrow money!

amazed. "Never, my dear prince, was

was coined. The $50 means that it is

that it was made at Carson City, and

you will find some very small letters &C.

Above the dusk of the windy forest
The young March moon is silyery cold.
Come, love, and lean on the gate beside me,
And will tell you a legend old.
A jealous wizard with whitened tresses
Beheld a maiden with yellow hair,
And seized her form In his frosty fingers,
And bore her far 10 his ley lair.
He bound her fast in a sleep enchanted.
And hid her deep in q grave Of gloom,
Till over The purple seas came sailing
A slender prince. with a pale green plume.
From the withered grass and earth above
her
He brushed the wreaths of the SHOW aside
And slew the wizard. whose name was Win

And she rose from the tomb to be his bride.
Looki There she stands by the broken trellis.
Where budding sprays of the ivy cling,
For the captive maid was the golden crocus:
Her gallant lover, the prince. is Spring!

The Thirteen Superstition.

The inevitable 10 superstition came
up in a company of which I was the
other day. In my own experience that
foolish superstition has been knocked
out SO often that I rather enjoy sitting
down to dinner with Is. Once I sat at
a table with Sir Arthur Sullivan, the
composer, as host. There were IS Gov
ers, it was the 18th of May, and the &C.
casion was the thirteenth performance
of Sullivan and Gilbert's 'Iolanthe. :"
Of course nothing came of it. Another
time I dined with the Thursday club of
Philadelphia at a roadside inn on the
Wissahickon. It was discovered that
there were IS at table, and one of the
party being superstitious the landlord
was asked to come in and make the
fourteenth. He did SO, and the result
was that he and not one of the IS died
before the year was out This is the
nearest l ever came to having a vertical
ton of the superstition within my OBJ
servation--Major Handy in Chicago
