THE cANAANITEs.

The following extracts are taken
from an article entitled What Do
We Know Of the Canaanites," by r. A.
Stewart Mascalister, MA, FS.A., Dr.
rector of Excavations, Palestine Elk.
ploration Fund, as printed in The Sun
day School Times of September 2S,
1907:
In answer to the question, What
manner of people were the ancient
Canaanites who, about 400 years ago,
drove out the rude aboriginal tribes?'
we may fairly hold that they singu.
larly resemble the modern Arabs who
now hold their ancient territory.
This has been established by &C
tual comparison Of bones OF the an
cient Canaanites, found in excava-
tons, with the living bodies OF their
modern representatives. Both alike
are people of moderate stature-pef.
haps five feet eight inches is the
average for males, for females some
what smaller. A height Of six feet
is rare in both the ancient aud the
modern race. So far as the skulls
preserve indications of facial charac.
ter, we can restore from them counte-
nances with the heavy features OF the
modern Arab II cannot be doubted
that hair and eyes were uniformly
dark.

THE TAX QUESTION.

Referring to the tax question, The
Brooksville Argus says:
III the land paid the tax there would
be more improvements in our rural
districts and more people in the rural
districts to make the improvements.
Let the land, not the industry and
enterprise of an agricultural country,
nay the taxes levied to maintain the
peace, good order and safety of COM
munity." -
The Sun is in thorough accord with
Bro Russell on this question. There
are hundreds of large land owners In
Florida who will neither improve
their holdings or sell an acre to per-
sons who would improve 1t, and they
should be made to bear a larger pro-
portion of the taxes for maintaining
the government. AS, 1t is, the men OF
thrift and industry who improve
their property are. taxed for every
dollar expended for improvements, but
the wealthy persons who own large
tracts of vacant land return the same
at a nominal sum and thus escape
tner just proportion of taxes on prop
erty which they are holding for specu-
latiye purposes. All land should be
classified and each class taxed at the
same rate, the unimproved in the
same class being taxed on the same
valuation as the improved land

this department has had only a few
phone service it has made such prog
ress as to put the Japanese system in
condition which makes it so much
superior to others in the east that 1t
is not for moment to be compared
with them, says the American Tele-
phone Journal. In fact the Japanese
telephone men have adopted many
ideas in connection with the building
and operation of their plants which
show that they could give valuable
pointers to many Europeans in charge
Of telephone systems under govern

Their progressiveness, for example,
in the use of telephones to aid in
army maneuvers is known to the
whole world. 1t is acknowledged
everywhere that in the late war with
Russia they developed field telephone
service to a point of greater efficiency
than has been reached by any other
army.
Toxic has, as would be expected
the largest telephone system of any of
the Japanese cities, and the general
features of construction and operation
there seem to be typical of the prac-
tice throughout the country.
Out of a population of nearly a mil
lion people about $4,000 are subscrib-
ers for telephone service. The lines
are divided between five offices. The
rates are 66 yen (about $33) for
either business or residence stations.
All lines are individual party line
service being esteemed unsatisfactory.
Cleanliness is the most noteworthy
thing which impresses itself upon a
visitor to one of these central offices.
The reason for the absence of dust is
made apparent to the stranger by the
request that he shall remove his
boots before entering, which is
courteously made at the door. AL
though pair of slippers is provided
as a substitute for the foot covering
worn out of doors, the shape of those
shoes is so peculiar that the writer
has in some instances found it more
convenient to walk in his stocking
feet. The advantage of this oriental
custom of removing the shoes before
walking upon the floor of room is
shown clearly enough by the results.

a laugh. To-day, in New York, with
Its strange commingling of foreign

WAS George Washington a liar?
w Must another idol be shattered?
These questions seem to be answered
in the affirmative by official records
now musty with age but in a fairly
good state of preservation. For years
there has been a legend in Virginia
that George Washington was seven
times indicted for perjury. No one
gave serious consideration to the ru-
mors, unworthy of association with the
beautiful childhood dream of the little
Ratchet and the cherry tree. A young
man of inquisitive temperament, hear
Ing the legend, made inquiry at the
congressional library to ascertain
whether any records gave it support.
He was cited by the expert in charge
to the court records of Fairfax coun-
ty. There he discovered that Nc
Dowell's men, after the battle of Bull
Run, ransacked the courthouse and
carried away most of the records, but
that one volume had recently been re-
covered through the executor of the
estate of one of the Pennsylvania sol
diers. This volume was carefully eX-
amined, and it was found that on May
21, 1850, the grand jury returned a
presentment against George Washing
ton for having lodged taxes on "a
