JUST WHERE 1T STARTED.

The Board of Equalization Comes Around
to the Point Where IL Started and Quits.
The Board Of Equalization held a very
brief session last evening, but accomplished
the feat of getting around to exactly the point
where is started several days ago. and then
quit for the present.
The first thing that confronted the alder
men whan they met was a petition from
officer & Pusey asking for a reduction of
taxes on lands lying inside the corporation
and adjoining the property owned by Leonard
Everett, who was favored with a reduction
at the session on the previous evening. Some
Of the aldermen had been remarking strictly
entire nous that the only reductions so far
granted had besn to the mill:onaires Of the
city, and they were in a favorable mood to
jump upon this last bankers proposition with
death dealing vigor. This they proceeded to
do and rejected the petition almost before ii
had b;en presented This prepared the way
for a reconsideration OF the action on the
Everett property, and a motion to put back
Everetts assessment to the original figure
was quickly made and carried.
Two remonstrances were received from the
First National bank, one from President
Sanford, and the other from the stockholders
Both were received and placed on file. A mo.
tion was then made and carried to let all Of
| the bank assessments stand as returned by
the assessor. This ended the whole vexet
question, and the aldermen took up the watsl
works assessment with less timidity thar
| formerly. Discussion lasted about half
| minute, when a resolution was introduced
| raising the assessment of the plant to $50 900
and this went through without a kick.
The clerk was instructed to post notices o

quir5d by law, and the council adjourned Il

work.
OF course, there are people who think
that these kindergarten methods are all
play and good for nothing but to keep the
children out of mischief. Well. that is just
exactly what is done. They have good care
and rational amusement. Their active
brains are set to work, and not left to plot
mischief but the work Is only scientific
play so sugar-coated that they swallow 1t
greedily and ask for more. These young
students are kept in but half day, be-
Cause the school facilities are not ade-

You think that the noise in this room would

that moment, there was excellent cause for
the suppoSition. One of the small maidenS
had bug, and was gleefully giggling and
dancing about while two or three of her
mates were craning their necks to see the
ugly thing creep over her fat hands. An
other had a branch of maple leaves, and
was eloQuently discoursing about its va
Iious attributes in a stage whisper to q
stupid-looking boy, who was industriously
trying to rub the heel off his shoe on the
legs of his desk. About twenty of the pu-
pills were nervously interested in what the
teacher was saying to The Star reporter,
and twenty pairs of small boots came
Clumping up to the desk, their owners
Matching up numerous excuses for the ex-
cursions. Every blessed one of the fifty or
more acted as though it had st. Vitus
dance. Then the teacher said: Attention.
And quicker than scat, every leg strai ght-
oned. every foot was on the floor back
bones became ramrods, and every smiling
face was turned in eager expectation on

task, and, in the quiet that ensued, she
finished what she had commenced to say.

jerk or break the hair, because that splits
and retards its growth. Don't put up till
every hair is dry. In pinning your hair up
never strain 1t, for that makes the scalp
sore and hurts the hair Curling irons are
much better for the hair than paper and
crimpers. A moderately hot iron will curl
the hair naturally one too hot defeats its
own purpose, and the hair loses it's elas-
ticity and comes out Sf curl at once. Never
put the curler in the fblaze, for that rough
ems the iron and huEts the hair. Never ap-
ply it until you ars nsure It will not burn,
and you can go OH using the iron indefi-
nitely. Putting the hair in papers pulls and
strains the roots and frritates the scalp.
and that retards gaoFth and soon kills the
roots. So long as your mistreatment Of
your hair does not reach the roots it does
not much matter, only that 1t will not look

hair. Brush 1t well: then part and make
into two loose braids, and let them hang
unconfined. This cools the scalp and lets
the air to it. A liberal expenditure of COM
mon sense and a small supply of toilet ap-
purtenances will give almost every woman,
no matter how plain, a neat, sweet-smell-

Fishes That Cannot Swim.

From the Fishing Gazette.
More than one species of fish is met with
which cannot Swim, the most singular Of
which, perhaps. Is the maltha, Brazilian
fish, whose organs of locomoton only en-
able it to crawl, or walk or hop. after the
manner of a toad, to which animal this
fish to some extent bears a resemblance,
and it is provided with a long upturned
snout The anterior pectoraD fins of the
maltha, which are quite small, are not
capable of acting on the water, but can
only move backward and forward, having
truly the form of thin paws. Both these
and the ventral and anal fins are very diff
ferent from the smaller fins in other fishes,
and could not serve for swimming at all.
Other examples of non-swimming fishes in
clude the seahorse another most peculiar
ly shaped tnhabitant Of the sea, which re-
sembles the knight in a set of chessmen;
and the starfsh, Of which there are many
specimens, which mostly walk and crawl
on the shore or rocks, both being unable
to swim.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Charles Litner is one of the luckiest sail
ors that ever sailed out of this port on q
sealing schooner. He is going to be mar
ried to one Of the prettiest girls in Japan.
Not only is she very pretty, but her par
ents are very wealthy, according to the
story told by c. Burdell. Burden came Up
on the steamer Coptic last week. Speaking
Of young Litner. he said:
Charley is the son of Sebastian Litner, q
laborer. who lives out on 10Th avenue. He
is an athletic young fellow and has always
had an ambition to see the world. That's
why he shipped on the schooner Jane Grey
and went rowing over the seas In search OF
seals and adventures.
ago, Litner happened to be on one OF the
spirited Japanese pony ran away with q
japanese girl. Miss Siena Kato. Litner
saved the girls life by springing in front
of the runaway and striking the pony q
stunning blow on the head with a club.
THE act was regarded as one OF rare
bravery, and before we left Japan 1t was
announced that Litner was engaged to
marry Miss Kato. He was hurt in the ac-
cident and was first taken to q hospital
but was afterward removed to the young
ladys residence at the request of her par
ents. The marriage ceremony was to have
taken place two weeks after we sailed.
They are probably married by this time"

TALE OF A RESENTFUL CAT.
A Story That the Reader May Think
Requires an Affidavit.

Story That the Reader May Think
Requires an Affidavit.
From the Boston Transcript.
Blossom is a big gray cat. She has been
in the family fer seven years, and her
mistress thinks she was fully ten when she
came unlimited and took possession. Her
charms made her welcome, and visitors. as
a rule, pet her to her hearts satisfaction.
Still, she shows her loyalty to her mistress
by many feline felicities. One day a young
man came for short visit. He was an IN
veterate tease. As there was no one else
for a victim, he took Blossom in hand, in
spite of pleadings and protestations. Her
ears were greeted with the strange TERMS
"Old rascal" "Scapegrace," Tramp" and
kindred names, till the astounded cat did
not know what had come to her. Her
pretty ways disappeared, she fed from his
approach, and hid whenever she could till
he was out of the house. One morning she
was missing for some hours, and was rot
to be found in any of her hiding places. A
loud cry from the .chambermaid revealed
her whereabouts. Blossom had revenged
herself on the visitors nightshirt, which
Soolded, and every one was cautioned to
keep the door shut. In vain! The cat
would find her way in and hide till the
chambermaid was through for the day, and
then the claws went 10 work, first on the
visitors own clothes if any could be found,
and then on the pillow cases. The young
man tried to soothe her feelings, but she
would have none of him, and he was glad
to cut short his visit Blossom quickly re-
covered her usual demearor and has never
been known to destroy anything from that
day to this.
