A Tuneful Tax Collector.

 Miss Lizzie Peckham will hereafter col lect taxes for the town of Sclpio, Cayuga County, this State. In a dispatch mem tionng some of her qualifications for the work it Is stated that Miss Peckham can milk a COW. harness a horse and inter pret upon the piano the works of any master from Chopin to Wagner. She is, In fact, considered the most all around girl in the County"
 Of the varied accomplishments of this new collector 1t is likely that those re- lating to the piano will be most useful. Music hath charms to soothe the say age breast" and there are few rural breasts which do not heaye with more or less of the savage when 1t comes time to pay some tax which has not yet been shifted off upon New York City. A Chopin nocturne where calmness is need ed, or a bit of Wagner "Gotterdammer- ung' for the more strenuous case, might prove an invaluable aid to the process of peaceful collection.
 It may readily be assumed that in clas- sic Sicipio at least the tune the old COW died on'' will quickly be succeeded by the melody to which the property owning farmer walks up and settles. But what ever else that tune may be, it certainly will not be a quickstep.

IMPROVING THE FLAVOR
A very popular. as well as attractive
way to serve the mammoth berry is
to heap them in pyramid form on small
individual dishes, the stems left on to
hold them by as Trey are dipped into
powdered sugar and eaten. But a less
artistic, but more satisfactory way. if
you desire to enjoy the full flavor of
these delicious morsels, is to crush or
cut the berry and blend with the sugar.

Variably mash their berries on their

berries with a silver fruit knife, sugar
