The poorer class take their domestic
animals OF all kinds, dogs, cats, par
rots, sheep. horses, burros, etc, to be
sprinkled with holy water, and to- re-
ceive, through the priest, st. Anthony's
blessing. 1t is the custom of the com
mon class to clean and bedeck their
animals specially for this blessing.
Dogs are gayly decorated with rib
bons tied around their necks. Sheep
are washed thoroughly until their

to the father to be blessed. The beaks
of the parrots are gilded. Horses and

FAMINE IN CHINA
Thousa nds of People Left Starving
by the Recent Yellow River
Floods.

Even the great Yellow river floods
of IL years ago did not cause more
widespread suffering than the recent
inundation, which has left thousands
of poor Chinese homeless and starving.
At Iangehow there are now gathered
10000 refugees who are absolutely de-
pendent on public charity for life. The
Chinese authorities, assisted by the
missionaries, are trying to relieve the
sutf ring. but their funds already are
nearly exhausted. Every day rice Cruel
is distributed free to the hungry mob.
with the result that it requires all the
police force of the city to prevent the
starving wretches from trampling to
death the aged and weak. On the first
day Of this relief distribution the crowd
pressed so about the doors that several
children and aged people were crushed
to death. Since then the police have
prevented such brushes Should the
general government furnish aid. the
suffering will be severe and rioting will
probably result. Most of the refugees
saved only their clothes and few ar
ticles of household use. They live

A COMPARISON EXAMINED.

Figures, we are told, do not lie, but
comparisons, to be Instructive, must
be fairly made between things of the
same kind. Contrasts are shown by
an inspection of things that are un-
like. 1t may be true that in the g.
year-period of 1S93-94-95 the total
taxes levied in Trego co lnty amount
ed to 900, in round numbers. 1t
may be true that in the next 3-year-
period 1S96-97-9S) the total taxes were
only S1O5,OO0 1t may be true that
taxes were lower and that the bonded

These statements may all be true and
yet no credit be due the last period or
the administration of the years 1896
97-98.
There is no opportunity for fair
comparison of the two periods because
the conditions were unlike and una
voidable. They may be contrasted
because the conditions were radically
and greatly different and when
brought into contrast it will be seen
that every difference favorable to the

the first period.
Those who have access to the COM
missioner's proceedings Tor have kept
their tax receipts) for the years 1898,
'94 and 80 may readily learn, if they
do not already know, that bond tax
was levied in each of these years.
They can tnd the rate of levy printed
on the back of their receipts. Every
thinking person will recall the fact
that thousands of dollars of the taxes
levied IN the years of the first period
were collected in the second period
and were then available for the pay
ment of debts and current expenses.
This is true OF all kinds of taxes,
state, county and school district lev
les. Every one knows that much of
the taxes of IS93-4-5 were delinquent
and unpaid until the last year or two
MORE than SI2, 900 of the former taxes
have been collected in the last three
years and considerable sum may be
added to this in the way of costs and
penalties. That these delinquent
taxes have been largely collected is
fortunate fact but it is no especial
credit to the men whose duty it hap
pens to be to keep the books and han
die the money. Neither can they
take any special credit to themselves
upon the fact that the money has
been applied as originally intendtd d.

The men who paid the taxes are the
ones who should be congratulated and
commended.
Has our indebtedness been reduced?
1t should be. That is what the levies
are for. Is there money in the treas
ury? There should be. The delin-
quent taxes are being paid. Are taxes
lower? They should be. even if they
are not. Thousands of acres of home
Steads. timber claims and school lands

New Uses For Corn.

Farmers may not be aware of the
fact, but 1t is, nevertheless, iue that
the manufacture of the new smoke
less powder promises to benefit them
extensively. The British Government
closed contract last fall with the
Standard Distilling Company, of Chi
cago, for the immediate delivery of
$4,000 gallons of distilled spirits at
Montreal, with an intimation that il
would want 100000 gallons more IN
a short time. The spirits ordered
were for use in the manufacture Of
smOkeless powder. The japanese
Government has recently ordered g..
coo barrels of spirits for the same
purpose, and has given notice of large
future requirements. Our own Gov
ernmeut has recently ordered 10000
barrels, and further orders will fol
low. Henceforth smokeless powder
will be exclusively used in civil
lied worfare, and in the mauufac
ture of this powder distilled spirits
play prominent part, thus opening
up "a new and quite extensive market
for American corn.
Ia the light of these fscts. the prep
aratiou of Great Britain and the con
s'aut rumors of great European war
take on a local and personal interest
to every Western corn grower. An
extensive war among the great Euro
pean nations would have marked
effect upon the market for spirits and
for corn, az the hole world is 10 "A

The White Mans Burden.

1t is officially stated, says the Fair
fax Herald, that the negroes Of Vir-
GINA annually receive $500, 900 more
from the Commonwealth than they

The Wedding Ring.

The travels of the wedding ring
are one of the curios in the history of
jewelry. 1t has. at one time or au-
other and in one or another country.
been worn on every finger of each
hand. During medieval times it was
sometimes even worn on the thumbs.
The ring worn on the left hand is
said to signify the subiection of the
wife to the husband: the right hand
signifies power, independence, author
ity: the left, dependence or subiec-
ton. Columbiere remarks: "Some
Of the ancientS made the ring TO de.

bridegroom was 10 give il to his bride
to denote to her that she il TO be sub
ject to him, which Pythagoras seem
ed to coSiirm when he suggested
wearing straight ring; that is. not
to submit to overrigid servitude." In
an old English book of curios, the
information being conveyed in form
of question and answer, this question
is asked: why is the wedding ring
placed on the third finger of the left
hand:" The answer is: There is
nothing more in this than that the
custom was handed down to the pres
ent age from the practice of our an
cestors. who found the left hand
more convenient for such ornaments
than the right, in that It's ever less
employed; for the same reason they
choose the fourth finger. which is
less used than either of the rest. ''
Some of the ancientS believed that
the ring was SO worn because TO that
finger. and 10 that only. comes an ar
tory from the heart: but the know

clearly demonstrated the absurdity of
that notion.
