County Board of Taxation.

The Burlington County Board of Taxa
ton is rapidly reaching the end of its pre-
| liminary work and will probably announce
the tax rates early next week. AS was to
be expected the Board has been criticised
and complained Of but the objections
come mainly from those who think they
know what has been done and what the
result will be. In many instances there
are growlings from those who, having for
years escaped paying their just proportion
of taxes, feel aggrieved at the prospect of
paying somewhere near the value of their
holdings. Many instances might be cited
to substantiate this statement, In one
case a property has been assessed for
years at $1,000 when its owner is known
to have refused cash offer of three times
that amount. Right next to it is a pro-
perty that is not nearly SO valuable and it
has been assessed at $4,000. In another
case valuable cranberry bog has been
assessed at So per acre. In another a
property that sold at Masters sale for
So, 900 was assessed at S., 200, and so on
through the list Instead of complaining
the people who have not been paying their
share ought to be thankful that they are
not compelled to pay up portion of what
they have been escaping.
The county tax rate will undoubtedly
be lower and where the township authori-
ties have not been extravaganza and asked
for increased appropriations there will be
considerable reduction in that rate. In
Palmyra the people have been compelled
to pay rate of So per 800. Valuations
in that locality has been decidedly low and
there has been great change in that
respect
The Nesoark Ne,os gives good advice
when it says:
People whose tax bills are somewhat
larger this year than heretofore should not
be too hasty in condemning the law which
provides for full and equal taxation. 1t is
to be expected that this year there will be
many injustices and inequalities, but that
does not prove that the law is bad one.
1t simply proves that as yet the county
Board of Equalization has not had time to
make thorough study of the assessments
or perfect a system of supervision that
will insure justice and fairness. This was
made impossible by the short period in
tervening between the time the assessments
were made and the date prescribed for
fixing the tax rate. There are several
years of work ahead of the county board
before it can be said to have accomplished
the purpose for which it was created"

The fortunes and changes in base ball
were plainly shown on Saturday when the
Bachelor club, of Philadelphia, came to
Mount Holly and was defeated by the
home team. A few weeks ago the Bachelors
shut Mount Holly out, after gaining -four
runs for their share. On Saturday the Mount
Holly team took kindly to the pitching
of the opposing team and scored five runs.
After that the runs came in singles and
Mount Holly ended with eight runs. The
Bachelors were unable to get more thar

>adroit manipulation of Mrs. Pelham
and an apparent denseness on the part
of Mrs. Hamilton. he failed miserably
and found himself paired off with the
widow at golf while his wife went on
a fishing jaunt with Van Slice.
On the next day all the blood of his
ancestors asserted itself and he arose
early with his plans ready made and
took possession Of mis- wife with his
old domination and he kept her to
himself all day-and indeed during all
the rest of the time they were in the
country
After they returned Mrs Van Vecbt
met Van Slice. She had heard moth
ing of the party and was anxious to
know as to the result
"Oh, yes, we had good time" re-
piled Van Slice in answer to her
query. But do you know, Hamilton
is the most jealous brute. Why, he
took his wife away from the crowd
positively by force, and spent most of
the time with her. 1t was most rude
to the rest of the -party-and positive
ly brutal to Mrs. Pelham, who was
invited solely to be taken care of by
him-as every one understood.''

Harvesting the Rhone.

+. The French river Rhone is a subter-
ranean stream near Bellegarde, vanish
ing in a subterranean gulf and there
remaining for considerable distance
The engineers propose to change this
romantic geology by damming the
river and turning the water into two
parallel tunnels which will conduct the
river two miles and half to two power
generating stations. Here a fall of
200 feet will yield 10000 horsepower
for 300 days in the year. The cost is
placed at about $5,000,000, and the use
of the power is estimated as equivalent
to working an inexhaustible coal bed
supplying 100000 tens year.

THE POINT OF THE PRovERB.

An old prOVerD ADVISES the SlOs
maker to stick to his last. 1T means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means, stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush:
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures. ]. =.
It is amusing, however, ito remark
how every one. Of Us secretly thinks
he could do some Other fellows work
better than. the other, fellow, hims M self.
The painter. imagines he can: make
paint better than the paint nianufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a job of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one OF Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters Union, "Any-
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None of your. ready made mixtures
for me; T.. reckon I ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: "Shoemaker, stick
to your last The fancy farmer
can farm, of course, but it is an ex-
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
as pleasant to grow Strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars dozen, it
is a form of amusement, to be sure,
if he can afford it, but it's not farm"
ing. If the farmer likes to. slosh
;around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense OF hav'
ing a practical painter do the JOB
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. II the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off, In half
the time it should, they have perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
in none of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class Of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it: right; and. that is the
paint manufacturers-the makers OF
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints;
the paint manufacturer grinds them
together. In. a good ready-prepared
paint every article of one. kind OF
pigment is forced to join hands with
particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter is forced. as it
were, to open its mouth and drink in
it's share of linseed oil That is, the
only way good paint can be made, and
if the painter knew how to do it he
has nothing at hand to do it with A
paint pot and a paddle are a poor
substitute for power mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills..: + ~ ,.z~ >-:: ,-:'
The. man who owns a building and
neglects to- paint it as often: as: il
needs paint is only a degree more

TOO MNueH|=FoR* HIM

The proprietor of a tan yard built a
stand on one Of the main Streets of a
Virginia town for the purpose Of sell
ing leather and buying new hides.
When he had completed the building
he considered for Ia long time what
sort of sign to putEup to: attract atten-
ton to the new establishment. FL
nally happy thought struck him: He
bored an augur hole through the door
post and stuck calf's tail into it with
the tufted end outkide.;
After awhile he saw a, solemn faced
man standing near]the door looking at
the sign, his eyes fn a round, medita-
tive stare behind His spectacles. The
tanner watched HIN. a. minute, then
stepped out and addressed him.
"Good morning. air!'' he said: :;
