Most Ever RENTED.

This is the farthest that the remit
ting of taxes has ever gone in the
history of the state of Wisconsin.
Up 20 1903 there never had been any
remission of the taxes for the state
government expenses, and in 1908,
1904 and 1905 all taxes for the sup
port of the state government Were
RENTED, but the so-called mill tax
was collected for the schools. Now
the state treasury is SO fat, by reason
of acts of recent legislatures, that the
secretary of state desired that all
taxes be RENTED, those for the state
expenses and also the so-called mill tax
for the schools. However, Governor
Davidson thought that it would be
wiser to leave ample funds on hand
for the building of the capital and
for such other purposes as the conf
ing legislature might see fit to max .
appropriations.

Chemical PuIp.

The best wood pulp, however is made by
a chemical process. In this manufacture
there is no grinding whatever. The logs
are out into chips and put into an enor-
nous steel tank. which Is filled with sui
phurous acid and steam. This works on
the wood as the stomach works on food,
and finally digests It into pulp. The diff
ference between chemical pulp and me-
chanical pulp is about the same as the diff
ference between short staple cotton and
long staple Sea Island cotton. The chem
ical pulp has longer fiber and it makes a
stronger paper. The tank used for maxi
ing chemical pulp at Sault Ste. Marie is
almost 100 feet high and the most COM
plete Of its kind in existence.
large part of the wood pulp of Canada
is shipped in roll to different parts Of the
United States and there manufactured into
newspapers. Some of our newspapers have
their own paper mills for this purpose In

up something like 100 cords OF wood and

him?" asks the long-suffering teacher, with
a discouraged tremor in her voice and
tired, long-drawn sigh. Well. In the first
place, have him sit next to you. Insist
upon this; though you will probably not
need to insist If you make the request pleas
antly and as though you expected him to
acquiesce at once. Give him something to
do as far as possible; have him find the
place in the singing book, encourage him
strongly to sing have him mark the attend

ever is to be done; study the lesson with
him In your mind, and have one point at

leave enough to put a clean coat on the
