COLLECTING TAXES
The method OF assessing aud collect
ing taxes in this state is cumbersome
and unjust and no better plan OF reform
in this particular could DO devised than
that suggested by my honored pre-
decessor, Governor Markham. in his BIZ
ennisl message to the thirtieth session
OF the Legislature. That interesting
/ and able document indicates many
I abuses, the correction of which would
save the people large sums of money

The governor of California must ap.

is quite within the figures to say
that upwards OF a million dollars .

the state by placing the affairs of the
government on q strictly business basis;
preventing loose management, az of our

Therefore, though he uttered no word,
he swore an oath that sizzled in its fer

low that when the morrow came with the
laggard bridegroom he'd find never a
bride waiting to receive him, but instead
the tidings of her marriage to him who
had been known to all as the confirmed
bachelor, for that very night would he
flee with the maiden to the inviting shores
of an adjacent land where all obstacles in
the way of sudden and unprecedented
marriages are swept away that lovers may
be expeditiously launched headlong on the
turbulent sea Of matrimony
Ha! A little plotting on his own hook
would he do and surprise them all.
And it was done even as he said
But, alas! the surprise was in store for
himself alone.
Thus is told and recorded the story of
the marriage of him whose title and
condition matrimOny changed from that
of the confirmed bachelor to the confirmed
misogynist on account Of the deceit prac-
ticed upon him.

Brains In the Finger Tins.

1t may not be so generally known that
recent post mortcm examinations of the
bodies Of the blind reveal the fact that in
the nerves at the ends of the fingers well
defined cells of gray matter had formed
identical in substance and in cell forma-
ton with the gray matter of the brain
What does this show? 1t proves that a
man can think not alone in his head, but
all over his body, and especially in the
great nerve centers like the solar plexus,
and the nerve ends, on the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet. The COM
ing man will assuredly perceive and think
In every part, from his head down to his
feet. Arena.

Some of the precious leaves were passed
along the line at a recent meeting of the
Wisconsin Loyal legion. A sturdy New
York lad, whose book of knowledge was
stored with negatives Of stirring scenes in
Virginia-Captain Theron w. Haight of
Waukesha, not a lad now-took impress
sions from some Of his memory negatives
and brought out pictures, scenes and facts
that were so lifelike, so vivid, so perfect
that men who had been with him in the
Virginia battles were again on tho same
grounds, saw the lines of blue and the
lines of gray, saw the glistening rifles,
heard shrielling shell aud shot, the awful
rattle Of musketry; saw brave men fall to
get up nevcrmOre, heard the grOans Of the
dying, the appeals of the wounded; looked
upon the horrors of war once more. II was
never my fortune to listen to a more
graphic description Of battle scenes than
this contained in Captain Haights paper

secretary to Commander Mitchell and

nor did he chew, smoke or swear, was
good nature itself and never allowed his
work to get behind. He was a practical
joker. While the captain and most of the
officers were away week after we had
been paid Reed directed tho men to come
to his quarters and receive a months pay.
We were astonished. The government had
not acquired the habit of paying in ad-
vance. But there was Reeds written di-
rection to come and get another months
pay. We gathered around the smooth
faced, happy hearted young paymaster,
when he handed out to each of us as many
dollars as we were entitled to for 30 or 81
days of service, but they were Confederate
dollars"

THE HENLEY REGATTA.

Cornell has won the first heat i'm the
race for the grand challenge cup at Hen
ley by default, the mighty Leander crew
not going over the course Under the
rules of the Henley regatta a crew that
fails to start III a heat that il is drawn for
is out of the regatta "for keeps. +"
The famous season of aquatics at Henley
dates back to 1889, and many of the
trophy events were established between
that date and 1855. The principal prize,
which Cornell is entered for, is the grand
challenge cup, but contests are also held
for other important prizes, among which
are the diamond challenge sculls for
singles, and the Stewards challenge
cup for "fours. &" The Henley course is
not over four miles, as is the Poughkeep-
sic or New London course, but extends
for one mile and $50 yards, tho narrowness
OF the Thames at Henley allowing OF but
two crews to row over the course together.
This rule, restricting the number of crews
In each contest, necessitates the division
OF the race into a number OF cheats. -,
The first heat is usually started at noon.
while the last is rowed about O'Clock at
night 1t being quite light enough in that
latitude for the crews to row without ac-
cldent, in spite OF the fact that the course
Is only l3O feet wide. However, the way
over the course is easily kept by the aid
OF the white flags with which it is marked
along its length. If any crew fails to re-
port at the starting post on time, il is
considered to have lost its chance by de.
