H II. Dsrneille, the District Assessor,
has forwarded to the Commissioners a
recommendation advocating the discon-
tinuance of noting upon tax certificates
issued by his office the tax lien certificates
Of the years 1871 and 1872. In stating his
reasons for this step, Mr.. Darneille says
the tax lien certificates are barred by the
statute of limitations and that by the
decision of the courts they are uncOlIect-
ible.
Mr.. Darneile refers to the weIl-known
decision that taxes over twenty years old
are not conectible and points out the fact
that these tax-lien certificates are more
than twenty-eight years old. He holds
that the rights of the persons holding
them have long since expired, and he says
that the noting Of the same on the tax
certificates issued now only serves to put
cloud upon the title of a property holder.
In arguing the matter further, Mr.. Oar
nellie says:
For instance. if a person desiring to
sell piece of property applies for a Ger
tificate of taxes and upon obtaining same
finds noted thereon, as the only tax
against said property. an outstanding tax
lien certificate of 1S7l-72 which the in
tended purchaser Immediately wants paid
before cOnSummatlng sale, and which the
owner tries to find out something about
but cannot at the District Building find
out where said certificate is held or own
ed or whether or not II is in existence
clearly showing by noting same, that we
only do an injustice to the seller of prop
erty.
THE holders of these old tax lien GER
tificates have clearly slept on their rights
for more than twenty-eight years and
could not force collection thereon in any
court of competent Jurisdiction"
1t is understood that the Commissioners
viii approve the recommendation, and by
that means lessen the work of the As
SCISSORS Office.

The District Commissioners yesterday
granted a hearing to parties interested in
the question of allowing dealers in gas
stoves and ranges to make the proper pine
connections in setting up the stoves. This
question was raised by a case recently
brought into Police Court, and still pend
ing, where stove dealer, w. S. jerks,
vas arrested on the charge of violating
the plumbing regulations. There were
present at the hearing w. d. Nolan, Pres
ident of the Master Plumbers Associa-
tion; William Koch, Secretary, and Ed.
J. Hannah for the plumbers; b. f. Leigh
ton. w. s. jerks, f. S. Hodgson, J. b.
DOdson, and Henry Hammond for the
stove dealers.
Mr.. Leighton introduced the subject for
the stove dealers and explained the ques-
ton under discussion by stating that IL
involved merely the simple operation of
connecting the range with the gas pipe
In the room. Mr. Leighton called atten-
tion to the fact tnat similar question
was raised two years ago in regard to the
right of stove dealers to make connections
With the water pipes in setting up stoves
and ranges. In this case Mr.. Leighton
stated, the Commissioners decided that

Paid His Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers. A certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bill through the house, was approached
by one Of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends,
who said:
"Chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him chance"
"Well, you know, think 1t would
not do. He's new member, and no.
body knows what the dickens he might
say"
Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-became a power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, on the
contrary, had made series of plumbers
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent. Forgetting his
previous record, he thought that II he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon.
orable gentleman.

A HistOrtc Die.

On the desk of the secretary Of one
Of the oldest copper manufacturing
firms In this city is steel die which
has served as a paperweight for 30
years, and the coins struck of by 1t are
now, for the most part, in the hands OF
collectors. This die was used for strik'
ing copper tokens which symbolized
the contest between President Andrew
Jackson and the old United States bank
of Philadelphia in 1882. The engraving
OIL the die represents President Jack
son, sword in hand and apparently
standing in money chest. Around the
central figure is stamped Jackson's ex-
preston, "l take the responsibility"
which arose out Of his controversies
with the bank.
When this die was made. the prede'
cessors of the present company not
only manufactured copper wire. but
also made a special feature of copper
coins, chiefly for South American couu'
tries and for private business firms
which made a practice of issuing their
own copper coins to be redeemed by
them afterwacd. During the civil wal
and just preced ding it many private cor
porations issued tokens which circu'
lated as pennies, and some Of them are
now worth a great many times theil
original value to collectors.--New York

farm to become rich or famous in the cities. A convention of county super intendents has agreed upon this as a necessity if the country schools in that State are not to become extinct from want of pupils. Whether this educa- tional movement will have any effect upon the Illinois country boys is uncer- tain. If it were possible to secure census of the country boys who have left the farm to swell the poverty and crime of the cities instead of improv
 ing their condition, the chance of checking the migration from country to town might be improved. Unfortun- ately, the country boys of Illinois, like those of other States, read and hear only of the small minority who achieve a conspicuous success. The names of those who fail don't get in the papers. Teaching agriculture by scientific meth ods will doubtless make farming more profitable and less irksome to the boys who remain on the farm, but the sure way for the Illinois school teachers to check the migration from farm to city will be to convince the boys, if they can, that 1t pays better, on the whole, 10 be Of some account in a country neighborhood than to become an un- counted unit of city rabble.

A JAPANESE SCIENCE.
Ski11ful Arrangement of Stems, Flow

Ski11fu1 Arrangement of Stems, Flow
 CTS and Leaves.
 The chief difference between the ar engagement of flowers in this country and in Japan is that whereas in this country the art Is merely considered as pretty accomplishment for gentle women, in Japan 1t ranks as science and a philosophy, which can only be mastered after several years of close study.
 Far from being practiced only by ladies, this pretty Japanese art has among its devotees princes, scholars, and other prominent men, who, having retired from the cares of political life, are in search of hobby which will af- ford not only amusement but will also offer intricacies and obstacles worthy of their trained minds.
 All cultured people in Japan are pro- ficient in the science, just as the better classes among Western nations culti- vate taste in dress, or in the artistic ar engagement of their household goods.
 The Japanese term for a hoWer- hana-also implies blossom-clad stem, and even the stumps or branches of fowerless trees and shrubs; and their science of flower arrangement consists not only in grouping flowers, but more particularly in grouping their leaves and twigs according to pre- scribed formulae The blossom IS looked upon as minor detail in the artistic composition, and of very small value if separated from the parent stem, whose sweeping, though arh- ficiai, curves emphasize Its beauty. The whole science is, therefore, reduced to curves which, though really distorted, have the appearance of being true to nature.-Pearson's.
