MISS LIBERTY ALMOST 21.

Miss Liberty of Bellows Island will
be 81 on October 20. Her charms were
unveiled in the mellow october of 1856
to be strictly truthful, it rained a steady
drizzle when President Cleveland, the
Count de Lesseps, M. Bartholdi, the
sculptor, and other notables Joined in
the dedication. 1t was great day for
New York, for the United States, Tor
the world; but most of us have forgot
ten all about 1T. Only when bill
comes in for the goddess millinery or
to make a better setting for her stat
uesque beauty and improve her sur
roundings are we reminded OF what an
imnorta1t female she was on October
%. 1885, and how we tingled with pat
riotism and shouted ourselves hoarse
in her honor.-New York Sun.

II was stated in parliament the
other day that the New Hebrides be-
long to nobody.
Presumably, this curious statement
meant, If it meant anything, that the
Islands belong to the New Hebrideans
themselves.
But even this is not quite true. For
although the French and British COM
rnlssioners, while expressly disclaim-
ing ownership, exercise joint control
over the group by virtue of the Anglo
Franco convention of October, 1906,
island which belongs outright to
Great Britain-which is as much
British soil as is, say, the Isle Of
Wight
It is situated in Southwest Bay,
Malekula, is of considerable height,
although only a few hundred yards in
circumference, and the story OF It's &C
QUESTION is an amusing one.
Southwest Bay has always been
considered the best place IN the
islands for target practice by the man
of-war patrolling the group, and this
small islet was used as target so fire.
quently that it seemed in danger of
being gradually shot away.
The chief who owned 1t protested.
and wanted compensation. The cap
tain of the man-of-war, who under
stood New Hebridean nature, knew
that these claims would be a ceaseless
source of blackmail unless they were
settled once for all; so he bought the
island outright for the British crown,
paying ten sticks of tobacco for 1t, and
every one was satisfied. The place,
since then, has always been known as
"Tens Stick Island" and is undoubt-
edIy the smallest isolated bit of Brit
ain existent upon the surface of the
Weekly.

The OF Horse.

Charles P Neill, the United States
Labor Commissioner, whose efforts pre-
vented in the early summer, the strike
of $1,000 telegraphers, is interested in
the various charitable associations that
send the children of the poor to the
country during the hot weather. In
New York the other day he told story
about one of these children.
There was a little boy he said,
whom the Country Week association
of Philadelphia put on farm in Aug

a walk to the village, three miles away
and as he stood in front of the post

They Never Stop Advertising

We wonder if our home mer
chants ever stop to think why th,
big mail order houses are so sue
Icessful. Their success lies in thei,
|continual advertising of theil
goods. says the HunkviIle (Mo
Herald. They never stop adyet.
Using because Of changes of sen.
sen or for any other reason. The
country newspapers have been
lighting these mail order houses
hard FOR years for the benefit of
the home merchant. and some oj
the merchants appreciate this and
some Of them do not. IF the mail
order houses would practice ad
yertising by "spurts," in certain
seasons of the year, like some
country merchants, they would
soon go out of business. While
the local or home merchant keeps
his business under a bushel - so
to speak, or out of their local
paper on account OF hot. dry or
wet weather, or bad roads. they
are giving the mail order houses
the advantage Of them before the
people, for those houses never stop
advertising for any kind of wealth
er or for dull times.

Especial session and that were gput
to sleep until their resurrectiuh al
the regular session need no IfYi
sion as they have been thoroughly
Iaired during their brief existence
But there are others spoken Of
which have reached various stages
Of realization and on some of their
considerable time has been spent
and much data has been gathered.
AT the regular session it is al
most certain that here will be bills
introduced along the following
lines:
To make changes in the mode of
letting the State printing contract
land looking to the investigation of
| the various modes in which This
work can be done at the least ex-
Ipense to the State, including fie
restriction of various departme hts
from indescriminate expenditures
for useless printing.
One OF the most prominent meas
ures at the regular session will
be the introduction Of bill
abollshing the State Board of
Equalization and the State Board
of Appraisers and consolidating
these bodies into a State Board Of
tax commissioners, whose duties
1T will be to appraise an equalize
assessments on all classes of prop
erty and likewise TO levy taxes
thereon in proportion necessary to
meet the expenditures budgetted
by the Legislature in its appropria
tion bill. This will be made one
of the principal reforms before
shn regular session and will be
one Of the most radical reforms
presented to that body.
Bills will be introduced to
change the designation of "par
ish" to county so as to con
form with all the other similar
subdivisions Of government in the
States.
A uniform style Of legal instru
ment such as sales, etc. will be
provided for in a bill under con
slderation and it will be proposed
to do away with the present an
tiquated form of recordation in
practice in the country parishes |
of the State.
Steps will be taken to protect |
the legislative assembly against |
the effect of lobbyism and other |
protecting influences will be plac- |
ed on various branches of govern
lnent. 1t is almost certain that |
steps will be taken to make the IN |
crease in the salary Of the State |
superintendent Of education which |
was virtually pledged at tie time |
when that official sacrificed posi-
ion carrying five thousand dollars
per anntm and expenses to retain
his position as the head of the
State s school system at two thou
