Another Decision Against Alien Tax Law.

AAONlCA 0CS4eAoA nj eA1ot lAAoA @e4 N@~
Another decision has been given against
the alien tax law, this time by the Blair
county court, which holds that the act is
in conflict with the provision of the con-
stitution requiring equal taxation and
that ii puts premium on idleness and
taxes the industrious of class.
The objections which the courts have
made to the alien tax law were raised
during its introduction in the legislature,
but were thought 10 be sufficiently an
swered by its supporters. The purpose
Of the act is sound, but it is necessary, of
course, that any restrictions upon the cm-
ployment of alien labor shall be clearly
within the limits secured by the constitu-
ton, and if the supreme court take the
same view of this act that has been taken
by the courts Of several of the counties,
the legislature viii have To try some OF b

The Method of rIanuaI Training.

The method by which manual training
arouses and fosters many sided inter
est and stimulates desire is by giving chill
dren something to do, and by allowing
such free play of choice and individu al-
ity both in the something and the doing
that at the very first possible moment the
activity shall be self-directed. When this
point is once gained, the work of educa-
ton has begun. Where the will is weak,
as in the case of poor, anamic children,
the interest may soon flag, may indeed
sputter and go quite out. And all this is
| very discouraging. But the interest must
simply be aroused and stimulated afresh.
Never, however great the seeming ex.
tremity, must the interest and desire of
the teacher be made to do duty for that
of the child, for, the moment this occurs,
the work of education ceases, and a mean
ingless, unpsychological process takes it's
place.
1t is not much learning that makes us
mad, but much interference. From The
Philosophy of Manual Training, by c.

lar Science Monthly for July.

Picturesque Brooksville.

A Charming Resort on Penobscot Bay and
its Myriad Attractions for Summer Wis
itors.
We see many places spoken of as sum-
mer resorts, many of which have become
noted along the coast of Maine and one
not acquainted might think these were
all or at least the best. But from my
own knowledge of the coast of Maine and
particularly of the vicinity of Penobscot
Bay, whose beauty cannot be rivaled, l
should say they are not.
| know this as in every thing there is
great diversity of taste. We see things
differently. Some of our resorts have be-
come world famed. There are those
stint or hindrance. These have become
known by the influence of noted men who
happened to take a liking to a certain
place, not stopping perhaps to see if there
was not better but lent all their energy
to build up the same. Still there are
other places where nature has strewn her
beauties with a lavish hand and is only
waiting for circumstances to bring them
into note. One of which l will speak is
Cape Rozier, the south western part of
Brooksville and promontory extending
into the Penobscot Bay some five miles.
This Cape, as it is called, is often passed
by summer visitors on their way to and
from Bar Harbor who look upon its rug
ged shore, little dreaming of the hidden
beauty that lies beyond. Nature seems
to have done her best to crafty the eve
and please the taste OF every beholder
From our numerous hill-tops can be had
some of the finest views of the PenObScot
Bay and surrounding country. Wild Der
ries grow in abundance and large pond
of many acres filled with various kinds of
fish give not only pleasure but profit to
the angler. The cod, hake, haddock aud
pollock of former years have again made
their appearance in our bay and good
deep sea fishing can be found one half
mile from the shores of Cape ROziel. We
are also free from much of the fog which
is SO troublesome farther east Our
nights are cool and refreshing ana while
we are free to admit that we have not Tile
wealth or luXuries of Bar HaIb0r to
offer the visitor we have that which is
much better and at less price, health and
happiness derived from ocean breezes
which daily sweep Our hills uncoutami-
mated by the hand Of man. Our drives
and boating facilities are unsurpassed.
All that is needed is push and capital to
bring il into not.

''The tug left Seattle on May . for

We arrived at st. Michael's on June II,
and found several sailing vessels anchored
and discharging cargoes. The ice left st.
Michael S on June Is. The New England
was the first steamer to arrive at st.
Michaels where several stern wheel
boats are being built for the Yukon river
traffic. On the way south we passed
four steamers with lows. At Dutch Har-
Dor were several steamers and two sailing
vessels which were towed to sea by the
New England on June %.

'On account of high water the river

American Butter to Foreign Markets

Commencing with July list, ton of
best American creamery butter will 60
every week to London and ton to
Manchester, England. Since April, the
Department of Agric lture has been sys-
tematically shipping American butter in
cold storage with the intention of estab-
fishing a reputation abroad for American
butter, which, in point of fact, compares
favorably with the best Danish OF Aus
tralan product with which it has to COM
pete. All the butter is stamped 'Americ-
can Butter,' so that consumers know
what they are getting. Arrangements
are being made now for opening market
for our buttei at Hamburg. Last year a
number of such shipments of butter We're
made to London at different times, but
this year the work is carried on sySte
matically, so that merchants know when
to expect it and what to expect, for the
same class of butter is sent them from
week to week The butter is procured
from New York, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota Major Alvord, the chief of
the Dairying Division of the Department,
has just returned from a trip through
these States, where he has visited the
principal dairy plants and talked person
ally with the proprietors concerning the
opening up Of foreign markets for Ameri-
can butter. Notwithstanding the higher
price which butter now brings at home
over last year, so that shipments are
made by the Department of Agriculture
at an actual loss, the work is being
pushed steadily on, the object being
solely to establish reputation in
Europe for American butter in order that
producers, when price conditions are such
that they desire to export butter, will find
a ready and eager market for it.

could at home.
