1t is one thing to have a chair, and
another to know how to sit on It. The
Ideal of n graceful sitting posture has
varied in the different ages of the
world. The Egyptians sat bolt upright,
the knees and feet closely pressed to
gether. 1t was the ceremonial attitude.
The Greeks and Romans, when their
seats had no backs and they were at
liberty to forget their dignity, sat
STOPPING. with one or both elbows sup:
ported by the arms. The Chinese ideal
was the knees and feet wide apart
They have maintained that attitude In
sitting for 1000 years. The .saxons and
early Norman kings, are represented In
old manuscripts and on coins In the
same, position. Down to a date com.

fact that under the present law. the

that the Legislature authorize the
publication and distribution of a

mended that a change be made in the
sale of delinquent lands by sheriffs, so
that, while the sale shall be made an
nually, it WILDE for the taxes next
preceding the year previous to certifi-
cation. He wants some drastic
remedial laws enacted concerning for
felted lands It appears that the
auditors office can get but few reports
of action taken concerning these
lands. BE suggests that the counties
should bear the cost of constable's
feesin preliminary arrests and also
the cost of witnesses before Justices in
preliminary hearings. He suggests
uniformity of-practice in the fees Of
court stenographers. he says the
counties SHOULD bear proportion of
the cost Of the maintenance of luna
tics, and thus agrees with the State
Tax Commission. He advances the
idea that the state auditor should re-
ceive quarterly reports from deposit
tories, showing average daily balance
for the previous quarter. He does not
believe in multiplicity of approprla-
lions. He asks for an earlier date for
the anal settlements between sheriff
and auditor. He favors discontinue
ance of reports of marriages, deaths
and births to the auditors Office. The
report contains still other less import
ant recommendations. Without speak
ing lightly of the report, it contains
enough recommendations to keep the
Legislature busy all the term.

a HIGH legal authority in this state
says that the adoption of the Consti-

election did away with the salaries of
judges. That may be but they are all
hammering away nevertheless and will
no doubt draw the usual warrant for
their pay, when the time comes. Still
it would not go very hard for them to
