The proposition, backed by the State
grange, to increase the school mill tax by

mittee on taxation last week. Opponents
OF the measure certainly made out very
powerful case. Several of the largest
cities in the State sent their mayors along,
while the ssleetmen of a number Of
towns were on hand to assist in downing
the proposition. Hon. E IS. Clark. who
conducted the case for the opposition, had
his case we'll in hand and called witness
after witness who marshalled facts and
gave damaging evidence against the meas

the last legislature, and provides that tax
ltof two mills on dollar shall Annually be
assessed upon all property in the State ac
cording to valuation, and shall be known
as the mill tax for the support of common
schools, rather than one mill as the pres

The finest coasting hill in the world
is at st. Moritz, in Switzerland. The
hill is mile long, and to coast down
it takes, on an average, sixty-seven
seconds. The Cresta course, as 1t is
called, Is iced and runs between snow
banks. Its turns are dangerous. and

They use the American fiat toboggan,

Tea Etiquette In China.

The etiquette pertaining to tea drink
ing in China is curious. If a lady
asks you to drink tea with her, and
especially If the tea be sweetened, you
can count yourself as well received
and much liked. If she does not like
you, the tea is, bitter, and report say
eth in cases Of this sort DRAWINGS are
often used. OF course it is needless to
say that after one sip of such tea the
unliked visitor makes a prompt exit.
When paying a call, if the servant
should bring in a cup of tea, there is
no necessity of taking any particular
notice of it. Allow the servant to-
place it where he likes near you and
continue your conversation as though
nothing had happened. If your bust
ness is pleasant and agreeable to the
mistress or the master Of the house.

you; If not, you are expected to leave
it untouched; otherwise you are like.

Dreams Wrought In Masonry.

81 remember reading a poem once in
which certain types Of architecture
were referred to as dreams wrought
in masonry" says Waldo Pondray
Warren in Thoughts on Business"
''This seemed mere poetry at first, but
as / think Of 1t now it seems to be
the truth. Take that tall Office build
ing yonder, with lights cleaning from
every window, tier on tier. All that
was once the dream Of one man. Be
fore the first stone was laid, before
the architects plans were drawn, there
was time when one man said to an
other, Let us put up great building
there And before that first audible
expression the building existed only as
an idea thought or, l might say,
dream in the mind of that man. He
walked its corridors when 1t was still
a dream. But now it is dream
wrought in masonry Every building,
bridge, railroad, steamship, machine,
book, organization or government In
the world-eyery one-was once an I'M
expressed thought like that. Great
credit is due those who first conceive
the ideas that underlie the worlds
work. The man who thinks Of new
things for the development Of your
business should be literally compen-
sated,"

DEACON BRo obi
He Was the Original of Stevenson's
DR.. Jel<yll and Mr.. Hyde.

Dr. JekyII ana mr. 1yoS.
Deacon Brodie, whose singular story
Is said to have inspired Stevenson with
the immortal tale of DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde, was a substantial wright
and cabinet maker in the Lawnmarket
of Edinburgh. He was burgess and
guild brother of his native town, and
SO high did he stand in the estimation
of his fellow craftsmen that for four
years they elected him a member OF
the town council as deacon Of the in
corporation of wrights. Success in
public life helped the deacon In his
business as wright, and few men APP
peared to have less ground to quarrel
with the conventional conception Of
meum and tuum. Nevertheless the
deacon was always in want of money.
He was an inveterate gamester, gay
and much involved bachelor, and he
had passion for the fashionable sport
of cockfghting. All this brought the
respected burgess into bad company,
particularly at certain disreputable
tavern in the Fleshmarket close, fire.
quented by sharpers. In 1888 Rrodie
was even accused of himself using
loaded dice. The charge was very like
ly true. but it never came up for trial,
for the deacon meanwhile had been
convicted of hanging matter.
Brodie, in fact, had for years been
living a double life. In the daytime
he was an honest craftsman, but at
night he exchanged his chisel for
Jimmy and a dark lantern. The dea-
con was humorist, and the situation
doubtless appealed to him. The friend
he had robbed overnight he would con-
dole with in the morning, and after
some particularly ingenious burglary
he would be the first in the council
chamber to suggest offering reward
for discovering the perpetrator. For
twenty years this prince of cracksmen
remained unsupported, and he was
only brought to book at last by the
treachery of confederate. The dea-
con was sentenced to be hanged-on
the new drop gallows he had suggest
ed himself to the city fathers-and
hanged he was, though not without
characteristic attempt to cheat the gal
lows. A French quack, DR.. Peter Del
gravers, SO the story goes, came to him
in prison and undertook to restore him
to life after he had hanged the usual
time. To the last his fellow citizens
loved to cherish belief that he had
been resuscitated and had escaped

The COTTAGE.

It Should Be Without Sham Elegance
and Elaboration.
There are cottages and cottages. Any
modest, unpretentious house designed
on strictly economical lines may be
fifty called a cottage, and it is more
satisfactory to regard ones own SIM
pie little abode as a well built, commo-
dious cottage than as small house Of
comparatively cheap construction and
cramped dimensions. 1t is when given
to the big staggering seaside houses of
the rich that the term cottage" be-
comes a misnomer and an affectation.
To the man of moderate means the
very idea of building cottage rather
than house carries with it sense of
making a home within his means free
from vain striving for a sham elegance
and elaboration. The cottage which
apes the mansion Is as absurd as the
affected and exaggerated dignity Of the
pompous and understood individual
who seeks TO create an impression out
Of all proportion to his real Importance.
Since simplicity is one of the main at
tributes Of well designed cottage, its
charm and effectiveness must depend
upon the quiet excellence of its proper.

AERIAL TELEGRAPHY.
First Attempted by Amontons In che
Fifteenth Century.

Fifteenth Century.
One Of the first systems of aerial
telegraphy was attempted in the If
teenth century. The originator was
Amontons, at that time considered one
of the cleverest scientists of the world.
Yet you never hear the name nova
days in connection with that of Morse
or Bell. However, Amontons develop
ed a system of signal telegraphy so
that a message could be sent from
Paris to Romc in three hours. Those
who assisted in the transmission Of the
message along the line were unable to
tell the nature Of the message.
Posts were placed from Paris across
the Alps at consecutive points, where
men were stationed with telescopes.
Different signals, representing COM
binations of letters, were run up at
each post The man at the other end,
seeing the signal, placed similar one
before his post, and so the message
was carried to its destination.
The key to the. signal was known
only to those who sent the messages
in Paris and to the recipients thou
sand miles away. Amontons was not
encouraged in his work by the puffy,
equity functionaries of the time and
discontinued his efforts. = Philadelphia
