New Source of starch.

In bulletin of the Jamaica De-
partment of Agriculture II. H. Cous-
lns, the Government chemist, states
that the high percentage of starch in
the cassava makes the latter more
valuable than the potato as source
of this substance. The cassaya is
also not subject to the fungoid dis
eases prevalent in the German pota-
to fields, from which large proper
tion of the starch now. sold in Great
Britain is derived. The cassava sea-
SON is unrestricted, and this gives
further Important advantage over
the one-crop-a-year potato. Mr..
Cousins apparently believes that the
manufacture of starch from the cas-
sava can be done so cheaply that the
German potato starch will be driven
from the English market.-Argus.

HOPKINS COUNTY
Fiscal Court Increases Tax Rate.

The county tax rate was in
creased from 40 to 80 cents on
the 800 Thursday by the fiscal
court. This action was deemed
necessary on account of the ex-
tremely bad condition of the
roads throughout the county and
the urgent need for making I'M
provements to them and to sever
al bridges that are in bad shape.
One half of the revenue de-
rived from the taxation will be
set aside for road and bridge
improvement. This will mean a
sum of between $24 900 and $685.
600, and the members of the
court believe they will be en-
abled to macadamize some OF the

RATE LEGISLATION.
Public Printer StiIlings Has Ruled

BASEBALL FOR FILIPINO STUDENTS.
Interesting News from The Bees Wash.
ington Correspondent.

w sh in ton, April o.
Especial. )-The decision of the
Supreme Court in the Michigan
tax case has further involved the
question of rate legislation, but
it has INDICATED the position of
the leading lawyers of the Senate
who have maintained all along
that the Hepburn bill, as framed,
is unconstitutional. The decision
was voiced by Justice Brewer,
who said:
''In the nation no one of the
three great departments can as
sumo to be given the functions
of another, for the Constitution
distinctly grants to the Presi-
dent, Congress and the judiciary,
separately, the executive, legis-
lative and judicial powers of the
nation. Lit may, therefore, be
conceded that an attempted del
egation by Congress, to the
President or any other minister
ial officer or board, of power to
fix a rate of taxation or exer-
else other legislative functions
would be judged unconstitu-
tional."
Senators Knox aud Spooner
are investigating the ruling, and
the Senate ,anxiously awaiting
the result of their inquiry. The
immediate effect Of the Supreme
Courts dictum, however, has
! been to strengthen the belief Of
! several Senators that the pro-
posed rate legislation, as now
drawn, shows dangerous ten
dency to obstruct free access to
the regularly constituted courts,
and that it is class legislation,
the deleterious effects of which
would be felt in every phase Of
commercial life.

In flowery dell, a herd-boy. kept
his sheep; and because his heart was
joyous he sang so loudly that the sur
rounding hills echoed back his song.
One morning the king, who was on
hunting expedition, spoke to him and
said: why are you so happy, dear
little one?"
why shall not be-" he answered.
Our king is not richer than L."
Indeed" said the king; tell me
Of your great possessions.
The lad answered: THE sun in the
bright, blue sky shines as brightly
upon me as upon the king. The flow
ers upon the mountain and the grass
In the valley grow and bloom to glad
den my sight as we'll as his. I would
not take hundred thousand thalers
for my hands; my eyes are of more
value than all the precious stones in
the world; have food and clothing,
too. Am I not, therefore, as rich as
the king?'
''You are right" said the king, with
q laugh; "but your greatest treasure
is a contented heart. Keep it 80, and
you will always be happy"

The Eagles Eye.

The eye of the eagle and of other
birds of prey, is different from the hui
man eye in several respects. We can
not look at the sun without danger of
running our sight, but the eagle can
look at it, not only without danger,
but without pain. Nature has provided
the birds eyes with thin skin, or
membrane, inside the lids, which it
can draw down at will, thus protecting
the eyeball, while not interfering Sc
riously with vision. The eagle has
also the power of adjusting the focus
of it's eyes SO that it can see as we'll as
a great distance as it can near the OBJ
ject.- It can see its prey as distinctly
from the height of a mile above the
earth as it can only few rods away.
All this is merely a part of the great
scheme of self-protection that nature
has arranged for her creatures.-Chi-
