made no mention of the increase OF the
ewes. The lambs yeancd in the fol-
lowing winter were sold and the price
thereof garnishced in the hands of the
purchaser by an execution creditor of

creditor or the execution creditor was
entitled to the fund.
The Circuit Court held that the in
crease of the ewes was subject TO the

execution creditor appealed for a writ

From Circuit Court of Pulaski county.
Opinion by judge Keith. =.
The bill in this case AYERS thar the
title is in the state by virtue Of lis
purchase at tax sale and that she
comes into court of equity to restrain
trespass upon a.d waste of its proper

The main conclusion set by the plead
ing OF the defendants was that n court
OF chancery is without Jurisdiction 10
entertain such a suit.
The right of the commonwealth as a
purchaser OF the land nj n sale for 4 10,
linquent taxes is not insisted upon.
The decree of the Circuit Court
which in part grants the relief PRAYED
for by the commonwealth. and which
is appealed from because 1t did not
grant all she demanded, rests upon the
proposition not that the commonwealth
is a purchaser of the land in contro-
versy, but that She and the county. of
Pulaski have q lien upon IL for taxes
due and unpaid, and it is this aspect
of the case alone which is considered
In this opinion.
The Court OF Appeals held that the
obligation of the citizen to pay taxes
Is imposed by the state by virtue of
her sovereign power; that 1t is purely
of statutory creation, and that taxes

For Old Folks

It seems too bad when you see an
aged man or woman slowly hobb ing
along with the aid of a cane. In such
cases Omega Oil ought to be recon-
mended by all means. 1t should be
well rubbed into the joints and other
places on the body where there are
aches and pains. Omega Oil is a
blessing to old folks. 1t does them
so much good and gives SO much re-
lief that no one can understand it
until the Oil is tried. Always rub
toward the heart in using Omega Oil,
to help the circulation of the blood,
and never be afraid Of it, for it can do
nothing but good. 7O7

Sir--I would state what follows in re-
gard to the happening previous to the re-
solve yesterday by other senior foreign

2-On Thursday, June 4, Rear Admiral

was not authorized to intimate any
act of war with a country with whom my
country was at peace. that my limit was
to protect American interests, both by
regulations and under recent instruc-

Son the 10Th at consultation Of the
other foreign naval officers It was agreed

sir-I have the honor to report as fol
lows:
The commanding officer of the gun.
boats in the river met on the afternoon OF
June 10Th and agreed for the senior oil
Ger Of the gunboats to direct the move
ment. This officer happened to be a
Russian. The position Tor the various
gunboats were then assigned. The gun
boats participating We're the Koreetz.
GuiIak, Bobs, Russian; Tits German ;
Lion, French. Algerine, English. The
English torpedo boat destroyers Fame
ami Whiting joined in the latter part af
ter securing the captured torpedo boats
near Tong Ku. The japanese gunboat
claimed that her engines were disabled,
so she remained moored near Tong Ku,
and was assigned charge of the railroad
station at that place. The U. S. S.
Monocacy being under orders, remained
moored at Tong Ku and took no part in
the action. Many foreigners We're afford
ed shelter ana protection during the
night. A copy Of the report of the com
manding officer OF the Aionocacy is here
with enclosed.
The vessels, except the Iltis, took their
assigned positions early in the evening Of
the 10th inst, and at about II 55 M,
one hour before the expiration of the time
of limit, all the fort guns which could be
trained on the ships fired simultaneous

The vessels returned the fire with d
rapid fire from their guns which, with

by surprise four new modern torpedo

Nursery Notes.

The childs tendencies should be
carefully watched, and everything in
him which apears vicious or unpleas.
ant should be nipped in the bud.
If child is careless of his toys, and
breaks and defaces them, the proper
punishment is to take them away from
him, and say he cannot have them fol
a certain period of time, and then give
them to him when he promises to take
care of them.
1t is very bad policy to be contin'
ually buying new toys for child, who
is destructive and disobedient; these
are not qualities to be encouraged by
frequent rewards of gifts
If a child is cruel and domineering
to its little associates, it should be
sternly reproved and taught to behave
gently and kindly. Boys should be
especially taught to be tender and
chivalrous to all girls, and particularly
to their sisters.
Children who treat their pets roughly
and cruelty should be deprived of them
No right-minded person places little
helpless dumb creature in the complete
power of young children who are cruel
through ignorance or through vicious
nature. The treatment of pets should
be watched by the mothers of children
having them.

Care of the Coffee Pot.

An actual experience, and a testing
of the daily coffee pot by the mistress
will sometimes reveal the fact that it
has not been cleaned in a manner to
insure good coffee.
In many kitchens is the remnant OF
the morning coffee left on the back OF
.he range for a mid-foreno0n cup for
the cook, when not only the rank
flavor is extracted from the long
STEPPED grounds, but certain deposit
is made upon the sides of the pot
which adheres with great pertinacity,
and which only a most careful wash.
ing will remove. This deposit, If left
on, will surely faint the coffee that is
subsequently made in the pot, and
even to a taste not over critical will
injure the flavor of the best coffee in
the world The cook is prOverbially
sensitive with regard to the washing
of the coffee pot, insisting that it is
clean when it is not, and it sometimes
requires not little diplomacy TO eff.
feet the cleansing of the coffee pot
and preserve the sweetness of the
cooks temper at the same time. The
reward will be a much better cup of
coffee.-San Francisco Examiner.

Nursery Hygiene.

Give the baby and each child a bed
to himself. Two single beds take but
little, if any, more room than one large
bed. Have the sleeping room furn-
ished with only necessary furniture.
See that the clothing of the little
sleeper is loose at the waist, neck and
arms, and keep the head uncovered.
If there is anything young children
cannot do without it is fresh air.
Through the pores of the skin the body
is continually throwing off poisonous
vapors. If the head is covered with
the bed clothes the unfortunate in
FAINT will be breathing bad air. The
average child suffers from overlooking
and overdressing. Let him learn to be
a trife hungry. Do not take him for
an oyster or a clam, and keep him In
a stew all the time. Half the time the
child cries he wants fresh air or fresh
water-wiping the lips of a crying
baby with cool water will often soothe
and refresh him.-United State
Health Report.
