Catching book Titles.

Most readers would be at loss to
discover the source of some book titles
and would forget II they ever knew
that "The World Well Lost Is bor-
rowed from Dryden. that "a Dream
and a Forgetting" is Wordsworth's
phrase and that It was Othollo who
loved Not Wisely, but Too Well" We
might add that I'm spite OF the famlll-
arlty of the famous "Elegy" not one
reader in ten win trace Mr.. Hardy's
"Far From the Maddlng Crowd" to
Gray or will connect zone of Three"
with the mariner who held the we'd
ding guest with his glltterlng eye. Mr..
Hardy's titles. like nowells', are al
most invariably attractive. "a Pair OF
Blue Eyes" 1.-TWO on n Tower" and
"Thc Return OF the Native" stimulate
curiosity.
Often proverb or any other famll-
lar phrase is as good as n recognized
quotation. "Put Yourself In His Place
and ut Is Never Too Late TO Mend"
were strokes OF genius on the part OF
Charles Readc. and Second Thoughts" !"
dead Mems Shoes" and "rhe Root OF
All Evil" are hardly less inviting

Your father often returns from plsca-

The phrase in such instances. howev-

When you see woman with band
OF white plumage almost invisibly
tinted with blue and green and more
strongly with golden brown ornament
ing her hat, know that from one to six
of these harmless, lovable, sweet
voiced little grcbes were stripped from

you see that othcr woman wearing n
cape the collar of which reaches above
her ears aud the skirt to her shoulders
and 1t seems to be made up Of almost
indisccrniblc sections the size of your
hand know that each section stands
for the life of one Of these charming
little chatterers. The breast OF the
grebe Is its curse. Its feathers are 80
tiny and fine as TO be almost spincless.
so thickly set they stand on end and
so dellcatcly colored as to render ade-
quatc description impossible. Crested
grebes are killed without mercy for
this little patch OF rare fcathering,
and the little marsh ones do not es-
cape. There is no bird slaughter for
plumage more wanton unless 1t be
that of the cgrct, which takes the life
of the brooding bird for a few beauti-
iui feathers found on the shoulders

the doctor
Several months afterward the pa

asking him to remit SIS and answered
1t thus:

The Poll Tax in the Con.
StitutiOn,

The defeat of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment which was
intended to repeal the poll Tax
clause OF the suffrage provision
has become assured, AMI the poll
tax will have to be paid in, and for
each year, as condition TO, being
able to vote in pu bic elections.
The failure OF this election brings
into active force Act 1876 If the
legislature Of 1902. which requires
all Sheriffs and Tax Collectors to
keep a separate record in a houna
book, which shall always be open
to the inspection Of all persons, aud
in which shall be posted, at least
once q week, the names of all per-
sons who have paid their poll taxes,
together, with the date of payment
and the amount paid by eacll- The
act then goes on to provide that all
sher,ffs shall make two lists IT al;
who have rald their poll taxes and
when paid, at the close Of each cal.
endar year, and that he shall before
Jan. l Of each year file one Of these
eworn lists with the Clerk of the
Court and one with the Registrar
Of Voters; and these lists shall also
remain open for inspection. The
penalty for failure to comply with
the requirements OF this act is
a fine Of $500, payable to the SCHOOL
Board of the parish, for each such
failure, and may be removal from
Office.
Act No. 21l Of the Legislature Of
1902, which provides most drastic
and strenuous regulations for the
collection Of the poll tax, is nullified
and made of no effect by the failure
of the proposed amendment.
