FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature at it's approaching
session should by all means provide
d better and more just revenue and
machinery act. Every intelligent
and fair minded man must admit
that all our and machinery
acts Can be, and ought to be, i'm
proved and reformed. And this has
been the case for many years.
We are pleased to note that Treas
urer Worth, In his next annual re-
port. will call special attention to
this important matter and insist
upon "a reformation in the manner
of listing property of the State for
taxation" He recommends that the
next Legislature appoint d board of
tax commissioners, whose duty it
shall be to get up a new revenue and
machinery act. This is d most timely
recommendation and we earnestly
urge that it be effectively carried
out. This board of tax commission
ers should not be appointed to re-
port to some succeeding Legislature,
but should report to the Legislature
this winter, so that the present
Legislature may at once enact the
proposed new revenue and ma
ch1nery act.-Chatham Record.

Nearly Every Known Means of Loco

Everywhere up the Nolga and its
hundred tributaries ascend the iron
barges of the Caspian sea oil fleet,
while through the canals to st. Peters
burg alone pass annually during the
215 days of free navigation thousands
of steamers and barges bearing mil
lions of tons of freight. Every known
means of locomotion is used, from
men who, like oxen, tramp the tow
paths, hauling the smaller barges, to
powerful tugs that creep along by
means of an endless chain laid in the
bed of the canals and minor rivers,
dragging after them at snail pace great
caravans of heavy bargeS.
From the greater streams immense
craft nearly 400 feet long, 10 feet in
depth, carrying 5000 tons of freight,
drift down TO the Caspian, where they
are broken TO pieces TO be used as fire.

In all there are 5000 miles of naviga-
BILE waterways in the valley of the Vol
ga, or If the streams which float the
giant RATS that form so large a part of
the mileage is increased to nearly To-
600, or as much as that of the valley of
the Mississippi.
Fifty thousand RATS are fioated
down the Volga annually, many OF
them 160 feet long by thick. and this
gives but faint idea Of the real traffic
OF the river. for in addition there are
100000 tons OF produce passing up
and down the river during the open
season. Much of this centers ut Mini
Novgorod. TO this famous market
steamers and barges come from all
parts Of Russia, bringing goods TO be
sold at the great annual fair, over
$20O,0O0,0O0 worth of merchandise
changing hands i'm n few weeks. Thir-
~ thousand craft, including RATS, are
required for this traffic. They come
from as far north as Archangel. as far
east as the Trails, from Astrakhan in
the south, st. Petersburg and Moscow
TO the west, while great caravans of
ships Of the desert arrive daily from

Didn't Cut His Corners.

\ writer in the Boston Transcript
gives this "reminiscences of the Rev. DIR.
Elijah kellogg of Harpswell. Me-:
"One Sunday before his sermon the
doctor announced from his pulpit: The
widow Jones' grass is getting pretty
long. 1 shall be there with my scythe,
rake and pitchfork at 4 o'clock toner
row morning, and hope every male
member of the congregation will be
there too
"'The next morning they were all
there and among them Captain Griggs,
six feet two in his stockings, with 4
weight of nearly go pounds. Par
son. said lie as they were working Up
the field near each other. I'm goin TO
cut your corners this mornin.i
Now, DIR. Kellogg was n little man..
weighing scarcely more than $50
pounds, but lie knew how to handle
a scythe, and, as he told me, with n lit
tie shrug of his shoulders, he didn't
cut my corners that morning More
than that, the man who had thought
he could beat the parson at moving
dropped under a tree exhausted from
working with such n pacemaker."

He Hacked on HI. Lcg.

Caught in bear trap on the banks
of the Athabasca, near Milford. Me-,
John Mcleod. a lumber scaler. was
obliged to take out his Jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease It. He was far from any human
being. and the only way out of it SEEM
ed to be to cut of the leg.
That was done easily, because the leg
upon which he operated was of wood.
But when he stumped back to camp Il
made him mad to hear the jeers of the
French Canadian cook of the lumber
crew
"why you no take of you whole
wood laig. ah? You get out UNI thrap
and no spiIe you wood laig tall. ah?"
Such way out of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before. .~n

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city in the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into n loose bed
of sand form n roadway which is al
ways dusty in summer and muddy in
autumn, and in many of the roads
there is no attempt at a roadway of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned.
The city is regarded by the Russians
as 1.-THE holy city," probably because of
the large number of monasteries it con-
tains. 1t was once the capital of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
of being considered the capital of the
interior, but there does not seem TO be
any particular desire on the part of
the authorities to make it more worthy
of its title.

THE OCEAN sCORCHER.
He Who BrnEs About How Many
Times He IIns "CrOssed."


The ocean scorcher, the woman or
man who was forever Dragging about
how many times he had crossed" is,
thank heaven, on the decrease. Fash
ion has at last set the seal of her dis
approval on him, and he is rapidly be-
coming obsolete. The fashion is now
never TO mention the number of times
one has been to Europe. The last time
1 was OYER" is the way to refer to an
over the water experience if you wish
TO be in the vogue. OF course you may,
if you truthfully can, say the time be-
fore last was over" or the tenth time
l crossed or during my seventh trip
through Europe" but n great majority,
you will find. say 1.-The last time l was
over" 1t is safer-when one has been
over but once.
Pin many of these travellers so fond
of relating their European experiences
down to the figures, and you will find
that 1.-The last time was over bears a
close relation to the little boy who said
he was next TO the head of his class,
to have it transpire later that the class
consisted of himself and a little girl.
The last time L was over may, like
as not, have been the first. Still any
thing is better than the ocean scorcher
and his Dragging. To him it didn't
matter where he hadn't been or what
he hadn't seen or anything, but simply
how many times he had crossed.
The one time ON record that any one
was known to get ahead of these
scorchers was when a lot of them were
sitting swapping lies on certain
steamship deck and nonscorcher, hav-
ing learned that the star scorcher's rec
ord was 1SS runs, remarked, There's
man on board who has crossed see
times" Then, as the excitement caused
by the news somewhat subsidized: Hes

anything, but just cross the ocean 566

law of the strictest nature has been
framed governing the preparation OF
all foods which are placed on sale for
public consumption, and the act will
go into force at once. 1t is said to be
the strictest food law ever enacted in
the United States. It's enforcement
has been entrusted to the New Jersey

Messrs. Ellis and Werner of Carson
have patented process of manufac-
turing rubber from sagebrush. From
all indications the scheme looks like
one of the biggest discoveries in this
State, says the appeal. There is Ger

earth for some use and it is hoped that
these gentlemen have discovered the
secret.
