ORBIS PICTUS.
The First Picture Book Made by Ccmenius
Three Centuries Ago.
1.-THE HOuseholJ)

Three hundred years ago German
savant had a wonderful vision. At that
time children were taught to read by
force of arms, so to speak. through
hardships and with bitter toll on the
part of the teacher. 1t seems curious
that the first real step toward tightening
the labor of children as they climb the
ladder of learning was the product of the
imagination, not of some fond mother or
gentle woman teacher. but of bewigged
and bet, tied university doctor.
1t was Johann Comenius. however, who
first conceived the daring idea that chill
dren could be taught by the aid of the
memory and the Imagination working to-
gcther.
by means" as he quantity expressed
it of sensuous impressions conveyed to
the eye. so that visual objects may be
made the medium of expressing moral
lessons to the young and of impressing
those lessons upon the memory"
In other words. the good Herr Doctor
had the bright idea that picture books
could .e useful to children. COmenius
made his first picture book and called it
the .Orbis Pictus.''
1t contains rude wood cuts representing
objects in the natural world, as trees and
animals, with little lessons about the
pictures. 1t is Il quaint volume, and, one
that would cause the average modern
child not little establishment were it
placed before him. As truly, however. as
that term may be applied to any other
book that has since been written, "Orbis
Pictus" was an epoch-making book. 1t is
the precursor of all children's picture
books. and modern childhood has great
cause to bless the name of Comenius.

The term internal revenue has been
restricted in it's meaning to such reve-

the Treasury Department, and does not
include all revenues that are, properly
speaking, from internal sources; that is,

DAILY STATEMENT OF TREASURY

1t would be interesting, if it were DOS
sible, to segregate one of the daily state
ments of Treasury receipts into its sep
arate items, so as to show the sources
from which these receipts for specified
day are derived. 1t is one of these DAVIS

The daily statements issued from the

show the general heads of revenue only,

THE TAX on oLEoMARGARISE.


The "oIeomargarine' feature of the In
ternal Revenue law is of peculiar inter
est from the fact that it is measure
both for revenue and for the avowed pur-
pose of protecting the people from imposi-
ton in the making of an important arti-
Gle of food. 1t was inaugurated by the
act of Aug. 2, 1866, defining butter and
imposing a tax upon and regulating the
manufacture, sale, importation and ex-
pOrtation of Oleomargarine." This bill,
with subsequent notifications and amend
ments, is still in operation, producing a
considerable revenue, and serving, indi-
recty, as decided protection and CT
enlargement to the legitimate dairy in
terests of the country.
The following ingredients enter into the
manufacture of oleomargaine: Olio oil,
neutral lard, some liquid vegetable oil, as
cOttOnseed, sesame or peanut butter, in
the higher grades, cream and milk, to-
gether with salt, and annotto or other
coloring matter. Very few of the cleo
margarine manufacturers make their own
oleo oil or neutral lard, and none of them
refine or crush the vegetable oils used in
the lower grades Of oleomargarine, but
buy them in the open market, these
materials being now well established COM
merciai products. The manufacture of
oleo oil is generally carried on in connec-
ton with the large slaughter and pack
ing houses situated in or near the prin-
cipal cities, where every effort is made
TO utilize all portions of the cattle
slaughtered
1t was not claimed that the substance,
properly manufactured, was injurious.
The imposition lay in selling it TO con-
sumers as genuine butter, to prevent
which increasing restrictions and more
severe penalties have been attached to
the original law. An authors banquet
in Kentucky with n julep for each jester
and n posSum for each poet may be a
juicy fiction, but for an everyday bill of
fare the average citizen prefers some
| assurance that the lubricant to his staff of
life has been churned from cream rather
than squeezed from cottonseed
After long agitation, and in the face of
violent opposition from the c0ttonseed in
terests and the slaughter-house owners.
the 5Sth Congress added to the oleomar-
garine law still more stringent feature.
This was the provision that when "arti-
| ficially colOred to resemble butter it
should pay tax of 10 cents n pound in
stead of two cents, when not so colOred
But the manufacturers have so adjusted
the mixture of lawful ingredients as to
produce rich butter color without using
any artificial cOloring matter-thus de-
feating the object of the law and produc-
ing greatly reduced revenue during the
present fiscal year.

one of the most serious here in years
President Mead of the company threatened
to move the entire plant from the town

wards the lower animals. With the assist

photographs and drawings, the lecturer
took his hearers with him into the forests
and impaired to them much interesting
information about the habits of wild ami
mails. Their cries to their young, their
battle calls and their love songs were
initiated so perfectly that one had only
to smut his eyes in order to imagine him
