The schoolhouse was one-story
wooden building with several high
windows on three sides of it, and with
two doors on the fourth side-the one
next the road. The doors opened into
two good-sized entries, which served
as dresslng-rooms for the girls and the
boys respectively The walls were
set thick with hooks, but so high on
the wall that the smaller children
could not reach them.
From the closest vestibules the chill
dren passed into the one schoolroom,
which was filled with desks and bench
es. One-third Of the space, that In
front Of the room, was given to tho
teachers platform and desk, to the
long benches for the reciting class, and
to the huge alright stove, shaped ike

"a certain municipality in Sweden"
is credited by a correspondent of a
London paper with securing its income
by taxing citizens according to weight.
A man who weighs less than 1876
pounds can laugh at the tax collector,
but one who weighs 200 pounds pays
about three dollars year. Upon one
who weighs from 200 to 270 pounds,
the tax is about six dollars and a quar-
ter a year. Beyond 270 pounds the tax
Is nearly two dollars a year for each
extra pound. Many a stout man will
maintain, with good sense on his side,
that the basis Of taxation Is wrong
side up. His bulk Is burden and the
tax Is another. 1t Is the lean man
who should pay for the privilege OF
being lean.
