Too Busy To Get Old.

"You don't seem changed bit, !"
said an old acquaintance, half won

There was lawyer, Mr.. Sydney,

The new tax law takes off eleven
cents of State taxes next year, and
commands, and enforces the oom-
mand by a bond in the sum of
$1,000, that the farmers land shall
be assessed at "the true and actual
value thereof; that is to say, at
the price for which suoh property
would sell if voluntarily offered for
sale by the owner thereof" Let
US see how this work. A farmer
owning 100 acres of ordinary land
finds it assessed now at $40 an
acre, or $1,000 for the tract. The
total taxes outside the oity averages
81 IS on the 500. therefore his
total taxes are SIS. so on the farm.
The new tax commissioner who is
compelled to assess the land sat
the price at which suoh property
would sell if voluntarily offered for
sale" This is not an extravagant
price, and there are not many
farms whose owners would volun-
tarily part with them less than $50
an acre When this assessment is
completed the State will take off
eleven cents of it's levy, leaving the
total levy S1.74 on the 500. The
assessment having been increased
three. fold the farmer will have to
pay three times Sl.74 instead of
only S1,95. And the result is that
the land owner pays S52.20 taxes
under Dawson's tax reform law,
whereas, under the old law he
paid SIS SO. Now the farmer, OF
any other person. who can figure
out the benefits to property owners
may have the stage.

Germany Stands By Its Women.

Germany Stands By Its Women.
Germany has started in the right
direction with it's characteristic
energy to minimize the evils and
enhance the advantages of all
women who engage in industrial
pursuits
She is providing industrial
schools. AS long ago as in the
decade of 1860, our CONSUL at
Chemnitz reports Germany began
providing private commercial
schools to give unmarried women
instruction. These grew steadily
and with such success that they
have been folio we'd by the broader
schools known as the Lette. Ferein.
Here women have the chance to
study different traces for which
they may be specially adapted, as
photography. millinery, tailoring
dress making, all of the domestic
industries OF pursuits, together
with fancy sewing, embroidery and
ornamental drawing.
The success of the Lette- Verein
led to the foundation of many other
organizations for the benefit oi
women. there being sooIe in as
many principal cities.
Saxony, which is thu seat of the
greatest German industries, and
where the largest percentage oi
women are employed in proportion
to population. has twenty-foul
special trade schools and fourteen
general industrial schools for girls
Besides these trade or industris
schools there are others devoted
especially to domestic science. Th
domestic science schools check tn
tide of young women toward th
factories and workshops.
| The effectiveness of all thes
schools has been so great that the
are universally recognized both b
government and pet pie, DRAWN
, from the one increased approprit
+ tions and from the other libert
endowments. The idea of th
schools seem to be this: Given
