bill that is about the most simple and
practical solution of the remedy for
tax lodging that has yet been de-
vised. It makes the Assessors work
on percentage and the more property
they dig up the more they make and
OF course the money they make comes
out of the added valuation. If they
get too much to run the State govern
ment, the surplus will result in lower
taxes the next year.

Welsh Lady Villa gers.

There is a village in Wales, by name Llandrylin, which possesses a lady barber, a lady doctor, and a lady lamplighter. The lady bar Der has scraped the chins of men for 40 years, and is an expert and adept at her vocation. Yet this Welsh lady is modest, unassum- ing, and thinks little of her achievements. The lady lamp lighter has lit lamps enough in her time to attract the inhabitants of Mars-if all the lights could have been condensed into one simul. taneOus bonfire-and no one has ever complained about her. She peyer missed a lamp, never over slept herself by five minutes in the morning when the lamps had to be extinguished, and never failed to light a lamp at night at the pre-. else time of her instructions.

RHUBARB AND ROSES.
Some Useful Plants Can Be Used to
 Adorn a Garden.

'Well, of all thingsl What do you suppose that boarder from Dan'Ps was hanging over the fence for just now? She wanted to inquire what that perfectly lovely plant with the tall spikes of shaky white flowers was; said she must have some like it in her flower garden. My land, the ig- norance of some folks is amazin'.. 'Twasn't anythin' but rhubub. Jest , rhubub. told her so, but she only laughed and brazened it right out. She said it was handsomer n am'sneedle, an if twas good to eat, why, that was an extry in ducement if twas anythin'; it cer- tainly want an objection. Said she'd got corner where 'twOuld look fine, and she should certainly have some next year. 1 hope I wasn't rude, but l did tell her l never heard of pie plant bein' good for anythin' but pies. Rhubub"
 "Well, now, 1 don't know," said the neighbor, thoughtfully. q never thought of it before, but it is sort of slightly. Mebbe it's as good for the eyes as it is for pies, if only we stopped to look at it that way" Among the many delightful re- suits of the present revival of small gardening for owners of the home acre or it's fraction, one of the latest is the perception that there are many delicacies for the table which can be raised in com. bination with flowers and orna, mental shrubs without sacrifice of beauty.
 Of course, says the Youths Companion, any large proportion of small garden given up to a vegetable patch means, even if the crop has beauty, unattractive bare spaces as it passes, or dwindles by use; but odd corners and back ground spaces can be used without this drawback. A few rows of corn, than which no one of the sub- tropical decorative plants is hand somer, a few pole-b beans rising in graceful festoons in corner these, with roses, lilies or old-fash toned gay perennials growing in front give truly charming result. Sweet herbs, summer savory, marjoram, thyme and sage can be mingled with the flowers here and there. The despised rhubarb, too, besides being a perennial and of the easiest culture, is indeed a stately and striking plant; the scarlet runner is equally effective over the porch, and yields good beans besides. No screen for a wall is prettier than raspberry, blackberry or barberry bushes; no vine over an arbOr is lOvelier than a grapevine. No ornamental tree is finer than an apple, pear or cherry when in bloom, and the cherry especially possesses excel lent form and foliage.
 Already villages and suburbs show not a few little gardens in which use and beauty are thus de lightfully blended; and year by year, as the children return from their lessons in school gardening, as their elders draw more and more gardening books from the library, and, most of all, as exam. pie inspires more and more house. holders to imitation, we may as. pire in our own country to equal, and in time perhaps even to ex- eel, the bewitching little cottage gardens of England, with their mingled berries, herbs and roses, which are the admiration of every summer tourist.

REMAINS EXHUMED.
But Nothing Definite Decided from
Agatha Reichlin's Remains.

Lorain. Ohio, May 1.-THE remains
of Agatha Reichlin were exhumed, to-
day, in order to settle the question
raised as to whether the young woman
had been choked as we'll as struck with
a stone on the head. The body was
found to be well preserved.
Discolorations were found on the
right wrist and upon the neck a dark
blue tinGe beneath the right eye.
At the conclusion of the examination
Coroner French said that the marks
found were the same he had seen at the
post mortem, but that at this time it
was impossible to say how they had
been caused.
The coroner was not prepared to say
that he would reopen the inquest. The
decision would be announced later
Detective MintZ at whose request the
body was cXhumcd said: Il more than
ever believe that girl was choked in
sensible if not dead before she was
struck with the stOne.'

Mr.. Carnegie knew they were making
steel or intended to make finished steel in

succeed ON the other hand it was r'dtc-
uIous to compare anything that the 600 90
people could do with what could be
achieved by the S0.0o000 in the United
States which are making more steel than
the rest Of the world. If views are TO have

Hauled Up at Newport-Stripped to
Receive New Sails.

Newport, r. l.. May 1.-the Reliance
met with more delay In getting off to
New London, today, on account of her
tender, the Sunbeam. consuming more
time for her trip to Bristol where she
went to obtain sails and other racing
equipment for the new boat. When the
Sunbeam returned the hour was so late
THAT it was decided not to start for
New London, today.
The Reliance is completely stripped
of sails as she lies at anchor off Goat
Island, but as a practically new main
sail was brought on board, this after
noon, from the Sunbeam, there is q
probability of her having sailing trial

ther is suitable
