AFTER FOURTEEN DAYS OF ARDUOUS WORK
CITY COUNCIL FINISHED WHERE II BEGAN

And the mountain gave birth to a
mouse. HI en-
d For fourteen days, at cost of
about $500, the city board Of equal
.ization has wrestled with the diff
cult problem Of finding out whether
the city assessor was properly onto
his, job. Values have been shunted
upward in the scale where they did
not encroach upon the property Of
some of the fathers and given a
downward push where the reverse
was the case; allowed to stand where
they we're manifestly unjust and
boosted out Of sight where it was
thought the merchants would stand
for it.. There were gymnastics ga
lore, and cinchings and uncinchings
when the taxpayers failed to call at
the captains office" in humble sup
plication to have the burden remov-

"A great deal of sleep was lost, and
all for naught. For the board has
adjourned. The assessors figures
stand as presented to the board and
the taxpayers are satisfied that about
as fair an assessment as could be
had is now a matter Of record.
\ The board Of equalization had a
very interesting session for a wind
up last night, and as q whole the tax
payers feel they have. got off Nucky,
even If some Of the council bosses
will have to pay more taxes than they
figured on at the beginning of the
session. fsss5 ".
All felt that the critical moment
was at hand and some had loaded
themselves for it. s,j
AS unfinished business which had
been held over from last week the
assessment of the water works came
on first. This assessment was placed
at $4,000 by the assessor. Marquett
moved that it be raised to $4,000,
which was lost by. vote of Z to 5,
the mayor, Auditor Young, Aldermen
Peterson, Marquett and Horner vot-
ing for the motion. Horner then
moved that the amount be placed
at $4,000, but this was lost by the
same vote. Richholt moyed that it be
placed at $4,000, but this was also
lost, and the assessment was left as

EVANGELICAL HOSPITAL.

The committee having the matter
in charge, are out soliciting funds
from the business men for the new
hospital. The object is a worthy
one, not only from a philanthropic
point of view, but also as business
venture and will no doubt receive the
hearty support Of our people. Like
st. Alexius hospital it will be the
means of bringing people here who
become consumers and help the bust
ness interests, some of these will be
permanent residents, Others will be
transient, but all will add to the
growth of our city. I55is5B /

in a Fod.

Nothing has such a bewildering ef- feet as fog. Only animals which find their way by scent can get about in it with any certainty. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain all day motionless and half asleep, hud- died up, either in or just outside their pigeon houses. Chickens remain mo tionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters call, perhaps because it fears to betray it's where abouts to an unseen foe. During one very thick fog blind man was found wandering about a certain district of London. This man was in the habit of coming up every day from a suburb
 carrying notes and parcels, and had scarcely ever lost his way before. Ask. ed why he had gone astray Qor he was quite blind, and it was supposed that weather would have made no differ ence), he said that in fog the ground sounded quite differently.

Readinu the Face,

Restless eyes denote deceitful, de signing disposition; greenish eyes mea,' falsehood malice and a love of scan dal;s blue eyes tell of tendency to co Quetry; black eyes mean lively. sp!r ited and sometimes deceitful charac- ter; eyes with a yellowish. bloodshot white usually betoken strong emotions and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig nifty and intelligence and brown eyes a tender, true, kind and happy nature. A mouth had better be too large than toe small, for very small, pursed ul mouth is seldom significant of good conversational power. Large mouths are more often found in conjunction with liberal dispositions than very small ones. A person with pointed chin is fanciful, refined in taste and difficult to please. A broad, square chin signifies ardent love, often accom- panied by jealousy. A broad, round chin means ardent love, with stead fastness and purity of affection

BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Board of Trade President "Made Good" With the People.

How Young Board of Trade President
 Made Good" With the People.
 Systematic town boosting is a fea- ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instead of personal profit. One western town had board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anything in particular, except eating some food once year at banquet and listening to some spread eagle oratory, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The organization was an honor no longer sought for. The directors met and gave the place to young man of the type i've like to encourage" The young man took his job seriously and went to work. Ii wasn't long before he grew an idea of bis own.
 Every family that moved to town he spotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary and the new people were made to feel at home. When this personal atten. ton had got in it's work. representa-. tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This In. terview was incorporated into letter. mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken to the newcomer. and he was asked to address them to his friends ''bac,i east" The scheme worked like magic. and the population boomed. Of that idea many new ones were born The young man has been several times re- elected president of the board of trade. and he can have anything the people of that town can give him.

School Gardens Create Taste,

The educational value of the school garden cannot be overestimated. What we want to do is to teach the children taste-get taste into the child, get taste into the household and then finally taste into the community-and when we have done this we need not fear the results. says the Los Angeles Times. The lack of taste in the community generally is an unfortunate fact, notwithstandin. our grand school system, and may be attributed in large degree to the failure to appreciate it's necessity by our educators. It is particularly pleas ing to those most deeply interested to note how universal is becoming the demand for school gardens. Reform in many branches of public improvement would be far easier of accomplishment now had the children of the previous generation been trained in the funda- menta! principles of taste, the powei of perceiving. approaching and discov- ertng beauty and excellence. The more we consider the curriculum of our pul. lie schools, the more we perceive how 1t could be improved to meet the chang ing conditions of our American life. Our children need far more than the three R's to fit them for citizenship aa It IS drawing upon us. The atmosphere and appurtenances of the schoolroom should tend to impart culture and taste which in turn are transferred to the home and thus minister to the gen eral upbuilding. One of the surest and best ways to accomplish this greatest good to both school and home is to carry at times the schooroom (figura- lively, at least) out into the pure and elevating atmosphere and influence of the school garden.

Medicine In Ancient Egypt.

There is much evidence in inscrip- tions and manuscripts that the ancient Egyptians practical medicine and sur gery extensively Probably their prac, ttce was based on little knowledge of anatomy. Each physician treated only one or two diseases. The sick were exposed in public places so that others who had suffered similarly might tell them of helpful remedies. Diseases of the eye were best understood and re- ceived both medical and surgical treat ment. The most important medical manuscript found in Egypt Is the Uapyrus Ebers. written 5000 B. c. and discovered In Memphis. Disease, ac- cording to the Egyptians, was due to the anger of some deity, the result of the triumph of evil in its struggle with good, an idea which Is still very gen. eral throughout Africa and Asia and which at some time has been prevalent in modified forms in almost every race. -"Records of the Past"

A Froo of Peculiar Habits.

South America has frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests lat the tops of the highest trees. it chooses as a site for its nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds to line 1t with resin procured from trees in the neighborhood. This lining serves { to catch and hold the rainwater, witt which it quickly becomes filled. As
 soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo de velopment into tadpoles. How the re sin is collected is mystery, nor is ii yet known how the separate pieces be come welded to form the water tigh1
 basin necessary to insure the safety ol
 the treasures deposited therein.
