Dead Rabbit,

When B. was only two and a half
and D. was four years old, they were
out In overalls one day shovelling
snow. I was shoyelling not far away.
and suddenly / heard them shouting
and calling excitedly for me to come
and see the kittie-cat. Going over to
investigate, I found a full-grown rabbit
sitting in the snow in an angle of the
wall of the house, stone dead.
1t took some time to explain to them
that a rabbit was not a cat, for they
had never seen a rabbit.
Then / had to explain, as well as l
could, what death was, for they had
never looked on death. The life-like
pose Of the rabbit made it all the
harder for them to understand. I don't
believe that the little fellows did UNI
derstand. but their faces were grave.
Suddenly the elder frightened. 1t was
evident a>moment later that he had
been thinking Of the story of the Res
direction, which he had from his
mother, and Of my assurance that
when the snow melted the grass would
grow green.
Papa said he, when the SHOWS
gone, when the trees are all green, and
they's grass and flowers, and no mud,
will the rabbit get alive again?'-Cy
Warman, in Lippincott's Magazine.

The Wings OF = Bird.

1t was my good fortune once to be
invited to dine with an eminent Epis-
copal clergyman Of New York City.
who was noted as a genial host and for
the grace with which he presided at his
table. Placing a fork in the turkey,
without rising in his stirrups, but sit
ting in his chair, the good doctor laid
the bird, well carved, nicely on the
platter, entertaining all meanwhile
with his wit and edifying humor.
In admiration of his skill, l said,
Doctor. some day you must give me
a few lessons in carving" Indeed, l
WILL" he replied with a smile, ''but
you will find it easy if you will always
remember to cut off both wings the
first thing you do, when you begin to
carve" MAY l ask why the wings
should be cut off first, doctor?" I
asked. why? so the turkey will not
fly over the table."-Good H%ousekeep-

An Arctic Meal.

Dogs were unhitched and fastened,
as usual, and then each of the Eskimos
climbed over the ice-foot with his
snow knife and disappeared behind the
parapet, where the other two were al
ready cutting snow blocks. I fastened
my dogs. got out their ration of penn
mican, cut it up, and fed them, stand,
ing by with whip In hand to see that
there was no bullying, and that each
dog got his share. Then I unpacked
the cooker, oil can and kitchen box,
passing them up the ice-foot as high
as I could reach. I did not wait for
the completion Of the igloo to COM
mence my preparations for supper, but
with q few strokes of the spade ex-
cayated a niche in the snowbank, put
the cooker in out of the wind, filed
the lamp with oil and the boiler with
ice, placed a few snow blocks around
it for still better shelter, and lighted
up. By the time the igloo was COM
pleted I had enough water melted for
our tea, and supper was entirely ready
by the time my men had fed the dogs;
and they lost no time in freeing their
clothing from snow and joining me in
the igloo. Still less time was con-
sumed in putting away the tea and
biscuit and pemmican, and less again
in falling off to dreamless slumber.-

Food value or the Pie.

Seasoning" savoriness, is the essen
tial element in this New England favor
ite, and in studying the position Of pie
in the colonial diet, it must be borne in
mind that beer and wine to wash the
food down was not permitted in Puri-
tan households and that the monoto-
nous diet of plain corn and wheat
bread and sailed meat needed some
thing to brighten it, and that something
the housewife found in the evolution
of pie. She was also wise in securing
high food value. Pastry for two pies,
according to the cook book, is made by
adding eight ounces of lard and butter
to eight ounces of flour. This gives a
food value of 1900 calories, or of itself
enough for a days ration. One nine
inch homemade mince pie is quoted at
1882 calories; one-quarter Of this with
the invariable accompaniment Of
cheese would make a good meal.-Good

FRANCHISE LAW INVALID.
New York Appellate Division Declares
Ford Act In Part Unconstitutional. N


New York Appellate Division Declares
Albany, N. Y.-The Appellate Divis-
ion of. the Supreme Court, Third Divis-
ion, by a vote Of three Parker P. j.,
Chase and Kellogg to two Chester
and SMITH, has decided that the Spe-
cial Franchise Tax law Of 1899 is un-
constitutional in the respect that it
takes the power of assessment from To-
cal officers and imposes it upon the
State Board Of Tax Commissioners,
thus violating the 'shome rule" princi-
pie of the Constitution.
The prevailing opinion, by Presiding
Justice Charles B.. Parker (who should
be distinguished from Chief Judge Par
ker, Of the Court of Appeals), admits
the Legislatures power to add fran
chises to the list Of taxable property.
but insists that property SO added must
be assessed by local officers. Justice
Kellogg, in a concurring opinion, raises
the question whether the whole law.
may not then be yitiated by the diff
Guilty Of local officers assessing parts Of
a "chain of franchises" between differ
ent municipalities.
In dissenting opinions, Justice Ches-
ter holds that the power to assess is
an incident of the States taxing power,
and may be located as the State sees
At; Justice Smith, that the powers and
functions of local boards are not in
violate, and may be modified for any
lawful State purpose.
None Of the opinions questions the
taxability Of franchises.
The decision will be appealed from
by the State, and the case will go to
the Court Of Appeals as soon as the
points can be prepared.

Anecdotes Of DR.. Temple.

A country rector who was walking
with DIR. Temple, the late Archbishop
Of Canterbury, past a field in which a

Grace. That poor fellow is doing
something that you on / could not do
for all our learning"
"Umph" calculated pr. Temple, who
was a man of few words.
Next moment he had climbed owe a
gate and was guiding the pillow down
the field with the skill Of a practiced
hand; what was more, he accomplished
a difficult turning at the end Of the
row, and gained the u1stinted admira-
ton of Hodge.

Twelve Times Married.

Zerad PomeroN Of Middlefeld,
Conn, has just, at the age of eighty
nine, married his twelfth wife. He
began his matrimonial career in 1883,
when he was twenty years old. In
the early part of his career he not only
married frequently, but rapidly. He
had only been a husband a year when
No. 1 died, and in a few months he
married again, and when that wife
died at sea his eye was speedily at
tracted to another, and a third mar
rage soon followed. In New York,
where he settled for a time. he had
six spouses, four of whom died, one
disappeared, and n he divorced. His
last wife is the granddaughter Of Mr..
Pomeroy's first wife.-New York Com

ton Of the boiling Senators, Bracket,
Of Saratoga County; Brown, of Jeffer-
son County, and Elsberg, of New York
County, casting votes for him. The
votes Of the Republicans in revolt were
given for Elihu Root.
John B. Stanchfield received the
votes of twenty-one Democratic Sena-
tors and fifty-seven Democratic As
semblymen at the joint session Of the
Legislature. Senator Thomas C. Platt
was declared elected for another term.
The insurgents, as the three inde-
pendent Senators have been called by
their colleagues, stated the reasons for
their opposition in speeches, which will
no doubt increase the bitter feeling at
present existing between them and the
Plat organization.
Senator Bracket, the first of the
three Senators in revolt, when called
upon for his vote, spoke bitterly In OPP
position to Plat, saying New York had
better sons to offer.
Senator Brown declared that the Re-
publican party could select men worth
Ter Of the honor than Senator Platt,
and that in voting for Mr.. Root he
merely expressed the sentiment in his
district against the senior Senator.
Senator Elsberg said the position
he took was not based on personal dis
appointment or personal hostility.
Senator Green, whose district en-
braces Tioga County, the voting coun-
ty of Senator Platt, replied to the at
tacks made on his constituent. Senator
Raines likewise defended the candidate
of the Republican caucus.
The Republican Assemblymen voted
unanimously for Senator Plat, giving
him III votes: St~anchfeld, Is, and

Properfy-Sulcide After Arrest.
Fort Worth, Texas. - Robert Ray
poisoned a family of three persons on
a ranch fifty miles south of Pecos a
few days ago. The dead are T. J. Ray
and his two sisters, Louise and Amy,
the latter being seventy years Of age.
The poisoner was a nephew Of Ray
and was heir to the ranch property,
which fact is thought to have prompted
the commission Of the crime. Soon af-
ter the death of the three people young
Ray loaded his wife and child into a
wagon and drove to Pecos and boarded
a west-bound train for Colorado City.
Arriving there he was arrested by the
Sheriff.
When Ray saw the officer he swal-
lowed a dose of poison and died soon
after. The Rays resided on a little
ranch about fifty miles southeast Of the
town of Pecos. The poison was adj
ministerd to the three people in their
food.
