The increase Of 3-4 Of a mill
or 7 1-2 cents on the S100 worth
Of property that the taxpayers
are paying is to pay the debt OF
S160,000 the State owes the gov
eminent. The State owed the
government an old debt which
amounted to about S3,OOO,OOO
and for years our representatives
in congress had been trying to
settle it. The government agreed
to take $3.50, 900, payable in 1900,
and square the debt, hence the
increase in taxation.

King soIomon's Mines Located.

Rider Haggard wrote romance about
the finding of king Solomon's Mines, :"
which DR.. Carl Peters now thinks he
has discovered. DR.. Peters does not
give their precise situation. but says
that they are near the eastern en-
trance of the Lupata gorge, on the
banks of the Muira river, about fifteen
miles south of the Zambest and half
way between Sena and Tete. The
modern name of the locality is Fura,
which DR.. Peters says is a corruption
of "Afur," which in turn was the Sa-
baen, or South Arabian name of the
Hebrew "Ophir." The natives call
themselves Makalange, which means
children of the sun, and, unlike other
Africans, are sun and fire worshipers to
the present day, He says that they
are quite unlike other native races and
have distinctly Jewish cast of fea-
lures. So he claims unhesitatingly to
have discovered the golden Ophir of
King Solomon and King Hiram.

Actresses Paint Their Faces.

'It is q mistaken idea that actresses
are as a general rule handsomer on the
stage than of" writes Franklin Fyles,
of "The Theatre and Its People" +" in
the March Ladies' Home Journal.
"The reverse is as likely to be true.
Nevertheless, all theatrical faces have
to be painted. 1t may be assumed
safely that none of the complexion is
genuine. An exceptionally clear and
pink skin may require no falsity. A
dark one may chance to suit the char
acter to be assumed. But these excep-
tions to the rule are rare. The glare
of artificial light would make most
faces CHASTITY white or unpleasantly
sallow if bright hues were not laid on.
The art of coloring pretty visage just
enough, and not OVERRIDING it, is one
which all actresses should learn. Many
do not, and so we see beauty disfgured
instead of enlarged. Others are very
expert. There are two distinct pro-
cesses. One makes use of colored pow
ders applied dry. The other mixes the
same powders with grease, making a
substance called grease paint"

SELF-DEN!Au WEEK.
Another Factor in the Great Work of
the Salvation Army.

/ The Salvation Army stands foremost
as powerful spiritual and social factor
among the Christian nations of the
earth. With their characteristic
energy and thoroughness they are ex-
tending year by year their work into
territories as yet untouched, especially
in heather lands. They settle embar-
RAISING financial questions by volun-
tarily depriving themselves not only
of comforts. but even of necessaries,
in what is known as the Week of Self
Denial The money thus secured in
this great annual effort is spent direct
ly in the extension of their field of
labor both at home and in the foreign
missionary field.
Besides their regular missionary and
relief work, the Salvation Army has
this year another and most urgent
work of relief on hand. A desperate
cry for help comes from India, where a
fearful famine is raging at the present
time. Not less than 10000, 900 of
Hindoos are on the verge of starva-
tion.
Salvationists are linked together in
all lands in strong bond of true
brotherhood, and there will be during
Sef-Denial Week of this year great
rallying of forces to the relief of those
famine-stricken people in India.
A glance at the annual report for
1899 reveals development in the social
operations in the United States of
which the Salvation Army may well be
proud.
Their Shelters, Rescue Homes,
Children's Homes and kindred social
institutions are highly commended for
cleanliness and practical management.
Their permanent Relief Depots, viz:
One Cent Meal Depots. Labor Bureau
and Salvage Brigades are doing an i'm
mense amount of practical and efficient
work in the way of relieving the ap-
palling distress among hundreds of
thousands of the poor of this country.
The Salvation Army is the recog
nized friend and comforter of the
poorest aud lowliest. and their efforts
in behalf of the millions of sub
merged" are deserving of the highest
praise aud the liberal support on the
part of those who are in the happy
position to be free from the wretched
worry for their daily bread. May
every one who belongs to this fortu-
nate class help to swell the Salvation
Army Relief Fund during their an
nual Week of Prayer and Self-Denial,
which for this year is set for the days
from March 25th to April I'd.

ONE ON HENRY CLAY.
He swapped the Site for the New Court
Building for Jackass


Attorney General Griggs says the
new building for the Department of
Justice, erected according to the plans
already accepted, will cost half mill
ion dollars more than was expected,
the total expenditure required being
s15, ,000,0Q Fortunately the Govern
ment owned the site-a plot of ground
just opposite the Treasury, respecting
which, with its immediate surround
ings, some interesting stories are told.
Commodore Rodgers years ago
brought to Washington from Spain
four Andalusian jackasses-jackasses
of high degree and purest lineage.
The long-eared quartet excited vast
deal of admiration. Henry Clay saw
them, and, being himself interested in
the rearing of fine stock, was most
anxious to possess one-so much so. in
deed, that he offered to ''swap" large
lot of land near the corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Madison place,
valued today at about $500 The
Commodore accepted, and Mr.. Clay,
having thus acquired title to one of
the jackasses, Immediately proceeded
to lose it over a gambling table. This
did not end the matter, however, for
Mr.. Clay afterward redeemed the jack
ass and sent it to Kentucky, where it
became the progenitor of what is now
the most remarkable strain of mules in
the United States.
AS for the lot Commodore Rodgers
built on it large and imposing man.
sion of brick, which in later years OBJ
tanned the cheerful designation of the
"House of Doom" because of the series
of tragedies and misfortunes connected
with it. The Commodore died in it
soon after it's completion, and then it
was turned into a fashionable boarding
house, which failed, swamping the
finances of the proprietress. Next it
became the home of the Washington
Club. When the Civil War broke out
the club went to smash, and Secretary
Sewdad leased the mansion for his resi-
dence. 1t was here that he and his
son, with three other persons, were
nearly butchered to death by the
assassin, Payne. Undeterred by its
tragic history, James G. Blaine bought
the "House of Doom" in 1890, and
from that time on he had nothing but
misfortune. He lost a daughter, and
his son, Walker Blaine, died in the
house. Finally he, himself, died there,
and then the mansion was torn down
to be replaced by theatre, which now
occupies the site once swapped for
jackass of Andalusia.-E

Genteel Tramps in Our Church.

The famous author of "The Bonnie
Brier-Bush" has discovered that the
modern church is infested with gen
teel tramps," " and he is going to make
them the subject of an article in the
April Ladies Home Journal 1t may
be said in advance that "Iau Ma
claren's" tramp are not what we know
in everyday parlance as ''hobos, " but
seemingly most estimable persons who
are attentive to their churchly duties,
as they see them, but who are. never
theless, a drawback to the advance
ment of the church. "The Genteel
Tramps in Our Churches" gives the
Scotch clergyman some exceptional
opportunities for forcible and direct
words to the church -goers-words that
would probably create much consterna-
tion in a congregation if uttered from
the pulpit.

Wanted Two Rabbits

Robbie had longed earnestly for a
baby brother and a pair of white rab-
bits. The answer to both wishes came
on the same morning, but it was not
quite satisfactory, for there were two
baby brothers and only one rabbit.
Robbie was greatly disgusted at the
mistake. The next day his father
found the following notice tackled to
the gate post:
'For Sail-One nice fat baby or 1

Growing Ezclusiveness in American Works.

There is no doubt that the free in
terchange of ideas and experiences of
persons engaged in similar lines of man
ufacture tends to the general advance
ment of any art, but there is, appar-
emily, growing feeling that this has
been somewhat Overdone in America,
and it is now becoming more difficult
Tor visitors to obtain permits to inspect
the large industrial establishments of
the country. Within the past few
years, or since the great invasion of
American manufactured products, es-
pecially of iron and, steel, in many for
eign markets, there.has been marked
increase in the number of foreign visi-
tors, engineers, mechanics, and other
experts, chiefly from Great Britain and
Germany, to the large industrial estab-
lishments of the United States, and
several of these visitors have given the
results of their observations to the en-
gineering world.
As the result of observation in some
large establishments, and of inquiry
elsewhere, | believe that it is becoming
more and more the policy of manufac-
turers in America to keep secret i'm
provements in processes of manufac-
ture, and while visitors are, and prob
ably will continue to be, cordially
welcomed and even permitted to make
Investigations more fully than they can
do at present in European establish
ments, these secrets are now as care
fully guarded in American shops as in
foreign factories. es.-A. E. Outerbridge,
Jr., in The Engineering Magazine for
