Taxpayer. Squeezed by Austrla.

The taxpayers OF Galicia have many
grievances against the Austrian gov.
eminent. says Michael Henry Die.
wieki in the Chicago Record The
chief complaint is that the assessors
of taxes will not admit the declaration
of income drawn up by the taxpayer
as what he really gets. but substitute
a sum which they say he ought to get.
This is flagrantly unfair and contrary
to law, and makes the taxpayer liable
to rates for what does not exist. When
challenged as to this arbitrary pro-
ceeding the assessors answered that
they had merely raised the taxes, and
maintained that in order to raise an
action against them the complainant
would require to prove a false state
ment. This deprives the taxpayer of
any legal remedy, except going before
the commission of complaints; but
as the commission is supposed to deal
with 10000 appeals within a few weeks
1t can be readily seen that 1t canno.

Rule Against Whispering.

The fathers and mothers of the pu-
pills who are under the instruction of
Miss Lucille M. Nye, teacher of room
No. 7 in the Milford High School, New
Haven, Conn, are doing a good deal
of thinking over new plan of disci-
pline just introduced by order of Miss
Nye. For several months the teacher
has tried all manner of devices to keep
the pupils from whispering. Yester-
day new rule was enforced among the
boys, whereby when they are caught
whispering they must get up before
the school and publicly kiss some girl
designated by the teacher. AS all the
youths in the room are particularly
shy of the maidens, it is said that the
rule has the desired effect and lessons
are studied better than ever before
Not lad in the room has had the
courage to break the rule.

Napoleon Used Bran.

British critics of the Beers are fond
of asserting that the sturdy Transvaal-
ers use little soap. This may be true
or not. Even IL true, there is plenty
of precedent. The Japanese, the most
cleanly people in the world, rarely use
soap. The Russians use vapor baths
for cleanliness sake. Rough inside
clothing cleanses the skim. There are
doctors who have cured skin diseases
by insisting upon their delicate pa
tients abandoning silk underwear and
using very coarse stuff instead. Napo-
leon, whose hands were good to model
and beautifully white, used bran and
lemon juice and no soap, unless to
shave. In England, on account of coal
smoke and smut, soap is more needed
than in countries with clear air.
Many fashionable ladies of today, who
would be much offended If they were
called barbarous or uncivilized, never
use soap. They grease themselves
with vaseline and such stuff and care
fully rub it all off again.

Mr.. Monnier tells this story about
official life in China: "a short time ago
the emperor of China made up his
mind that the street of the legations in
Pekin should at last be paved. To in
sure the work being done, he himself
appropriated the money--some $4,000.
This sum was handed to high official
of the public roads and highways de-
partment In entered into the mind OF
this dignitary that the work could be
done for much less. He soon found an
enterprising contractor who undertook
the task for $4,000. No. had, how
ever, views similar to those of No. /
and was equally successful in finding q
No. 3, who, in his turn, considered ST.
500 an extravagant sum for so insig-
nificant an undertaking. The street was
eventually paved at the cost of $16.'
And yet some say that the Chinese are
not In an advanced condition of civil
cation.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 3.-The rally Of
Democratic clubs in this city yesterday
proved grand success During the
day hundreds of people listened TO pa
triotic speeches at the Tabernacle upon
the questions of the hour. Senator

manner handled the evils OF the Repub-

triotic speech.
At night, from 6 o'clock until the
hour the convention reconvened, the
uptown streets were lined with thous,
ands, who were out to witness the
torchlight procession. The parade was
one of the finest that has been seen here
IN many day, there being something
like 1900 men in line, bearing banners,
torches, flags, and cheering wildly for
Democracy.
! After the parade, at the Tabernacle,
the State Association of Dem )cratic
Clubs was formed, and Hon. John S.
Denton was selected as President.
: Gov. McMillin delivered a rousing
Democratic speech, in which he de-
nounced as absolutely false the recent
utterances Of his opponent, Mr.. Mccall

A Shoot That Proved a Corker.

AS was confidently expected by many
OF the Gun Club devotees, the argu-
ment between Messrs. s. H. Voss and
j. M. Sheppard, Sr as to which of the
birds they recently took "crack at"
left the most feathers behind as a
souvenir of the engagement. resulted in
the prompt acceptance by Mr.. Sheppard
of a challenge to mat"h at 10 clay
pigeons, issued by Mr.. Voss, and shot at
the club grounds on Saturday afternoon.
At the hour designated in the challenge
both contestants were upon the grounds
and shook hands as preliminary to the
arrangement and adoption of rules and
regulations which should govern the
shoot. Each of the contestants sue
ceedeo in smashing" the first birds
thrown from the traps, and from the
eyes of each, aside and beyond the ex-
tremely jovial mood of the shooters shot
CLEAN of defiance. At the end of the
match the score showed broken birds
to the credit of each, though there had
been some argument and doubt
over bird thrown from the traps
which Mr.. Voss failed to shoot at, claim
ing that he did not see it, and for which
he was allowed another shot. In the
shoot off, Mr.. Voss proved the winner
The shooting of both, everything con
sidered, was remarkable indeed, and
especially 50 in the case of Mr.. Sheppard
who is II years of age and never fred q
gun over a trap before in his life.

A good saddle horse nowadays must
walk, trot, canter and gallop, says
Ainslee's Magazine. These are all nat
ural gaits to all horses. so that any
ordinarily active horse can be more or
less perfected in them. But more was
needed In the time of our great-grand-
fathers, when long Journeys had to be
made over roads which were not much
better than trails. Then the amble
was considered desirable. and later a
much pleasanter gait. which is called
the running-walk. The amble Is a
slow pace. a gait where the progress
sion is secured by the feet on the same
side moving forward at the same time.

The great foe to potted plants Is the
little white worm that feeds upon the
roots and even bores up into the
stems of plants. To get rid of the
pest the simplest plan is to stick
matches. heads down. into soil
and in a short time the worms will
disappear. The phosphorus which
does the work is beneficial to the
plant besides being disagreeable to
the worms. Carbolic acid may be
used instead. Add about five drops
of carbolic acid to cup of water and
sprinkle on the earth in the flower
pots.

Stats Forestry Commissioner Both
rock, who, with other members. of the
commission has completed an inspec-
ton of the forests of Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania, has outlined in brief the
purpose of the state in acquiring large
tracts, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
He said: THE duty of the commits
sion is to purchase three timber res
crvations of 10000 acres each at the
headwaters of the three principal riv-
ers, the Delaware, Susquehanna and
Ohio. The idea of these forest pre-
serves Is to raise timber on ground
that will not produce anything else.
The state wants to put the timber
back, and cultivate and rear forests
Of the same order as the extensive
Black Forest in Germany was started
The elimination in our present ideas
may not be in this generation 1t took
Germany 200 years to make the ia
nous Black Forest what it is now.
But the United States will probably
make as much progress in that line
in fifty years as Germany has done in
two centuries. The climate Of Penn
sylvania is far more h llthful than
that of any other state in the Union,
but the people do not know it. Be-
sides, they can not enjoy outdoor life
at present without trespassing on some
ones or some corporations domains.
| There will be no need for our citizens
to go to the Adirondacks, to Colorado
California, Florida or elsewhere when
we once get these timber preserves in
full operation, for healthful outdoor
| recreation. One out of every 1000
persons dies of pulmonary consump-
ton in the Adirondacks region, while
in the Keystone State the rate is only
one in every 1880 persons. 1t is only
| question o. time when Pennsylvania
will be called upon to take care Of Its
consumptives, and find way to pre-
| vent the spread of that dreaded dis
ease. Our state timber reservations
will be the remedy to help the state
ant of that dilemma" J,a.
