Delinquent Taxpayers.

Persons who have failedto pay
their taxes, however small they
may be, cannot settle them now
for less than $500 cash, and
should the lands be sold the cost
very rapidly accumulates. There
are some lands in this county that
cross-tie makers should look after
when it sells; namely, the J. B.
Parker lands, which lie near the
river and are well timbered. All
delinquents should settle before
day of sale. The tax attorney
will defend tba. title to any lands
he sells.

CONGRESS A MIMIC SHOW.
When Ex-President Harri
son says 1T was the Butt
of Jealousy and
Ridicule.

IIdCtlCdiiy Iuclo wan III uuiou
of the states; and certainly moth
ing that could be called a National
Government until the Constitution
was adopted in 1889, writes ex-
President Harrison in January
Ladies' Home Journal. Before
that we had a Congress consisting
of a single body of delegates. All
votes were taken by States-a
majority of the delegates of the
State casting the vote of the State.
There was no Senate, no Presideet
nor any separate executive de.
partment, and practiclly no judici-
airy. The Congress, either by the
whole body or by committees, per-
formed the necessary executive
functions: commissioned officers;
raised and disbursed revenue; con.
Quoted our diplomacy; audited &C.
counts, and exercised certain ju-
dicial functisns. 1t vas weak
attempt to organize q Govern
ment, but it answered so long as
the common peril of British sub.
jugation lasted. When that
threa at was withdrawn by the peace
of 1888 the selfishness and jeal-
ousies of the states became in.
tense and threatened to snap the
feeble bonds that held the States
in union. The congress became
the laughing stock of the country,
and the best men stunned it. 1t
had contracted debts in the pros.
of the war; and, the States neg.
lecting or refusing to pay their
quotas, Congress was protested
and dishonored, for it had no pow.
err to lay and collet taxes. 1t had
made commercial treaties with
foreign powers, and the States
refused to allow their ports the
privileges guaranteed by the
treaties. Congress was mimic
show, the butt eff jealousy and rid
icule. Great things were demand.
ed of men who could do nothing.
Each State made its own tariff
law. If one, with a view to rails
ing money to pay its pressing
debts, fixed a high rate on foreign
goods imported, another would
adopt lower rate to attract COM
merce to it's ports. 1t was hence
impossible for the States to make
a beneficial use of the power to
levy duties on foreign goods
And besides, commerce between
the States was hindered and bad
blood engendered by duties levied
by one State Oh goods coming
from another. New York laid q
duty on firewood coming down
the sound from Connecticut, and
upon garden truck crossing the
river from Jersey. Out Of these
and many like things grew the
conviction in the minds of oul
statesmen and people that "a
more perfect union' was neces
sary; that we must have a nationa
government, to which should b.
entrusted all those general powers
, affecting especially cur relations
with foreign countries, ant
T the relations of the State
with each other, and including
: such 40 we're necessary to the
! general defense and welfare.

States to write sincere, hearty words
of praise and t~hankfulness for this
grand invigorator. People enjoying
perfect health sometimes wonder at
this gratitude; but whoever has suf-
fered from prostration of the nerves,
of which insomnia is II of the symp-
toms, will understand how hard it is
to overstate the torment of this con
dition. And whoever has been made
we'll by Paine's celery compound
feels that no words can overstate the
Joy and gratitude such persons feel.
This is the state of mind OF thous-
ands of nervous, sickly, broken-down
persons who have used Paine's celery
compound and been made well.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy re-
suit in the case of her grandchild.
One of the most conspicuous instances
of the remarkable power of Paine's
celery compound owe debility
is shown in the relief it has afforded
children. OF course the dose is
adapted to the age of the little pa
tent. The compound purifies the
blood and corrects any tendency to
constipation. Pale, puny children
are made vigorous, rosy and healthy
by this Incompatible remedy.

g~estion. Here is what Mrs. Sample
says:

mia, arising from Indigestion and
poorly nourished nerves
81 should add that my grand
daughter, Vera Hafleigh, was so thin
and puny at the age of ten as to

had no difficulty in inducing her to
take Paine's celery compound. To-
day the roses bloom in her cheeks,

SPRING FASHIONS FOR MEN.

Irish homespuns and rough light
colored suitings are very popular for
spring and early summer wear.
The prevailing shades for neckwear
are green and red; mario club house
ties of maroon or navy blue silk are
extremely correct.
Colored shirts are rather fancy in
design this spring. Blue and black
are the prevailing colors, and white
collars are invariably worn with col
ored bosom shirts.
1t is no longer fashionable to wear
a silk handkerchief stuck in the full
dress vest. The proper thing is to
tuck the handkerchief under M of
the cuffs.
Trousers are gradually getting mar
rover at the bottom. Sixteen inches
is now considered the width.
Pointed shoes are being slowly
crowed out by the nobby New Lon
don and Cottage toes. They are still
worn by many extreme dressers,
however, and this style will probably
never die out.
The length of sack coats is noticea-
bly, shorter this year than last. The
prevailing length is between 30 and

NOSE N NOSOLOGY.

There are fourteen bones in the
nose.
Burns had the genuine Celtic type
of nose.
A blunt nose is generally indicative
of dullness.
The lose of the mole is movable like
that of the hog.
The Greek nose was straight and
tolerably prominent.
Pimples on the nose are frequently
caused by Indigestion.
The nose of Beethoven was large,
thick and lily shaped.
In extreme old age the sense of
smell is often entirely lost.
Fish are undoubtedly provided with
a reasonably acute sense of smell.
y s of proper proportions should
be one-third the length of the face.
Goethe had a large Roman nose,
rather more bent than usual III that
type.
Small nostrils are said by physiolo-
gists to indicate small and weak lungs.
The Turkish nose bears a tolerably
close resemblance to the Semetic
type.
a sharp nose pointing forward is
the characteristic of impudence and
curiosity.
The sense of smell is probably more
acute in the dog than in any other
animal
