 tions in Germany.

According to the manager of the Berlin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals, an excellent or ganization, there are no laws, ordi- nances or police regulations in Ger many prohibiting the use of the check rein on horses with the exception of the police ordinances of Berlin. The only law in Germany, as far as this authority knows, which prohibits the i'll treatment of animals is that con- tained in the imperial penal code, ac- cording to the provisions of which any one who publicly cruelty tortures or maltreats an animal is liable to a fine not exceeding 150 marks ($3570) or to imprisonment of not over six weeks. Throwing stones or other hard bodies or mud at animals is also punishable by fine not exceeding 60 marks ($14.2S) or an imprisonment of not over 14 days. AS the existing statutes are not regarded as sufficient properly to protect animals from cruel treat ment, the various societies for the pre- ventation of cruelty to animals in Germany are endeavoring to secure the enactment of new legislation which would provide them with more efficient legal support in their praise worthy efforts.
 A leaf1et published by the same so- ciety makes 1t appear that laws of Germany for the protection of animals from cruelty are not as efficient as those of the United States. Although the societies and even number of horse breeders deprecate the use of the check rein, they have not been sue cessful hitherto, with the foregoing ishment.

GIANT FIR TREE WORTH s42s.
Contained 42,ooo Feet of Lumber and
 Required Four Cars to Move It..

Raymond, Wash.-Four fir logs, all cut from the same tree, and contain ing more than 42,000 feet, were shipped to the Kalb-Gilbert Lumber company's mill at this place the first of the week from the company's camp near Raymond. Each log occupied a car. The larger was 101 inches in diameter at it's small end and 36 feet in length, containing 17,000 feet. The measurements of two other logs were 80 inches in diameter and 36 feet long, 8,74S feet; 53 inches in diameter and 40 feet long, 5,900 feet In addition to these four logs another smaller one was cut from the tree, but has not yet been shipped to the mill. This would bring the total up to more than 45,- 900 feet. The large logs are perfect specimens, and perhaps the largest sawed by mill at this place. The stump from which the tree was cut measured ten feet eight inches in diameter. At s1050 thousand, which is the price paid in this harbor for high grade fir, the four logs would bring more than $423

Clar- enee whirled her around and around in a wild dance, and her mother could not stop asking questions. Lucia look ed at her rather responsibility as she slyly tucked her book out of sight; but JuIge Whitman made her most courtly and ceremonious bow, say ing: q congratulate you, my dear.
 At last the heroine of this ovation escaped to her room to adjust her hair and gown, which had become sadly rumpled with embraces, leaving her friends to chatter and eXclaim, and talk at the top of their voices all together. It was the proudest moment of her life. Maturer years brought other triumphs, but never one so glo- rious as this.
 And thus it happened that Dorothy, while she by no means ceased to be domestic, did become an artist, and carved out for herself a career which had its beginning in the queer COWS" :"

smile, They pop out on the casts and still life exactly as they did on the manuscript" She was a brave little soul, and if she felt hurt by this indulgent neglect she kept 1t to herself
 When she had been in the Art Insti- tute for about a year without having ever seemed to accomplish anything to attract attention in the least, MT. Winters began to talk very much about new artist who had of late been sending in drawings as illustra- tions of current events. They were humorous in character, and good many of them appeared in his paper Everyone said they were remarkably clever, indeed quite superior to any furnished by the staff artists The fam fly all enjoyed the pictures greatly, and they were the subject of much favorable comment after every issue of MT. Winters paper.
 'I believe" he himself said one day, "that this Henry Page Esmond has the making of a great artist in him. AOSc ShStCuGS u HIS are Just UuU- bling over with fun, and his wit is keen and delicate. I believe his art will find expression in something higher than caricature, too."
 "Fll tell you what, Dot,' continued her father. I'm going to invite him to dinner some day-fve never met him myself yet-and then you can show him some of those queer cows you used to draw"
 The idea of infiicting these crudities upon the artistic vision of this rising man was excruciatingly funny, and the family laughed loud and long, Dor othy most heartily of all
 And so it was agreed that MT. Henry Page Esmond should be invited the coming week Wednesday for din ner MT. Winter wrote him an invita- tion to meet him at the office on that date, in response to which the young man-everyone seemed to take it for granted that he was young-sent very polite note of acceptance.
 The days business was over, and MT. Winters sat in his office awaiting the arrival of the young artist. He

Water Power Going to Waste.

The newly inland waterways commission is going to teach the peo- pie lot of things about the most yalu- able mineral in the world-a mineral of which, because it is plentiful, we are more wasteful than of anything else, throwing it away wholesale, and exhibiting a stupid neglect of it's possi- bilities of usefulness. So writes Rene Bache in The Technical WorS Maga- zine. The mineral in question is wa ter. Everybody drinks it, and most folks use it for bathing. The latter employment is considered by many non-essential, but as a beverage it is so far indispensable that, if wholly deprived of it, all of mankind on the earth-not to mention the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field-would perish in about four days. The crops, too, are made to grow by the same benefcent fluid, which, incidentally furnishes power on an enormous and steadily y-increasing scale for manufac- turing purposes. To the harnessing of their rivers the southern states mainly owe their recent industrial rejuvena- tion.

Vegetable Endowed With Brains,

Brain of plant life are the tendrils. Sensitive plants retract their leaflets when people approach as if they re- sented further intimacy. All vines which develop climbing organs called tendrils will reach out toward us if we place our hands in contact with them, and will even use a finger as a support to climb on. These tendrils will wind just as readily around twig or grass stem. Tendrils are cap able of exhibiting faculties and going through eyolutions more wonderful than perhaps is realized. With their sensitive tips they test the objects they come in contact with apparently considering their suitability as a sup port, and then accepting or rejecting them, as the case may be. The thor oughness with which these tips do their work is illustrated by an in- stance with grape vine. A cherry branch whose leaves had been various ly punctured and scalloped by insects hung near the tendril and particular leaf his just one small hole in it's blade, not over three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. So careful had been the exploration of the leafs surface that this one small hole had been dis covered by the tendril, which had thrust itself nearly three inches through the opening.

The cost of living is increasing not merely in the United States but abroad, and largely because of the ar bitrary action of producers and deal CTS in advancing prices. The matter has become serious in some quarters, notably in countries where the wage scale is low. In Italy the public au- >thorities are beginning to take matters aR hand. The city government of
 0me proposes to step in and fix a
 Simum price for all provisions, im-
 Sg penalties for violation of the
 ,hlations. Municipal ownership in ,Ay form is something to be wary of, but if such control takes the shape of checking extortion that adds vastly to the hardships of the people great many may be inclined to condone the procedure.

Increased Production of Salt.

More salt was produced in the United States in 1906 than in any previous year, and the value of the product was greater than in any year since 1890. The quantity was B. 944,133 short tons, or 2S,172,380 bar rels, valued at s6,65S,350, a gain of 30S,S76 tons, or 2,206,5SS barrels, over the production in 1905. This increase in production was accompanied by a slight increase in price from $168 to $1.69 per ton-not sufficient, accord ing to some producers, to offset the increased cost of labor and supplies.

Hornets Building for Mild Winter.

A mild winter, says John Peterman, Buffers hornet nest prophet. The hornets are building high in the air
 If the signs are for severe cold they build on the ground, where the snow drifts over them to protect the larvae from the cold. If they select a place high for their nest they prophecy warm, open winter, says the hornet nest prognosticator. The husks are thin and few.-Punxsutaw ney Spirit.

Constitutional government is becom ig so popular that it begins to look as though no country with any pretense of being up to date will be content to remain without it. Even so conserva- tive an old lady as the dowager em- press of China has been seized with a desire to follow the fashion and has promised her people constitution. Persia, hitherto reckoned among the most non-progressive of nations, is as- sured a constitution, the shah having signed an edict to that effect. If Rus sia's czar does not wish to be help lessly behind the times he will have to hasten to grant constitution to his subjects. Why not try it, even if dumas are not always as subseryient to the royal will as might seem ad- vfsabIe to the sovereign?

A JoIIier.

Mayor Douglass of Niagara Falls said the other day of an office-seeker: .'He is a jollier. He reminds me of a chicken thief of Utica.
 "A police reporter wrote of this thief, The prisoner laughed aloud for mercy And when the night editor asked for an explanation of that queer sentence, the reporter said:
 It's exactly what happened. Every poor old feeble joke the magistrate made, the scoundrelly thief roared 1t to split his sides.'

was just saying to himself that MT Esmond was going to be late when the office boy brought in a card bear ing, in the familiar handwriting of that gentleman, his name
 Show him in at once," said MT Winters in his most abrupt and edito- rial tones.
 When he heard footsteps in the out CT room he arose to his feet and made haste to arrange his features in their most cordial and engaging expression. The door flew open in theatrical manner under the hand of the office boy, who announced, in a somewhat muffied tone: "Mr. Esmond," and i'll walked-Dorothy!
 MT. Winters countenance was in- deed study to gaze upon. He look ed at his daughter with eyes as round as moons and opened his mouth sev- eral times without making a sound. In short, he was completely bewilder- ed until Dorothy, her sweet face all flushed and quivering, half laughing, half sobbipg, rushed into his arms, ex- claiming:
 "Oh, papa, dear, don't you under stand? I am MT. Henry Page Es- mond!"
 When her father had got her home at last, and they had managed to ex- plain matters to the assembled com pany, the commotion which arose was wonderful to experience. Dolly was laughed over. cried over and passed

yout.. becoming fearful of mollycod- ding influences at coeducational institutions? asks the New York World. At least there were no mollycoddles in the Cornell boat at Poughkeepsie, nor on the Michigan and Wisconsin university elevens. Doubtless the main cause is a discon- tent with the invasion of their ancient domain by women in numbers which threaten soon to reduce the male stu dents to minority. In ten years the growth of the great coeducational col leges has been phenomenal, Cornell in- creasing it's numbers from 1,S00 to B. 399; Michigan adding 1900, and Wis 5consin 1,400 At the University of Chicago the college population almost trebled, advancing from 1881 to 5,997. Tufts itself jumped from 300 to 1,160. Meantime the strictly women's col. leges have grown greatly. Smith, which this year has a freshman class of 800, increasing from $50 to 1875, and Vassar doubling it's numbers. The gain is suggestive when contrasted with the increase of Ill at Williams, 227 at Princeton, 1855 at Bowdoin and 21 at Amherst.

BANK TAXES ARE REDUCED Valuation Placed at 60 Per Cent. MAKES ASSESSMENTS UNIFORM Action Taken by County Board of
 Equalization. On New Basis. Stock. Are Assessed At From ss to ss Per Cent Of
 The Par Or Full
MAKES ASSESSMENTS UNIFORM

The long pending application of the banks of Montgomery for a reduction of the assessment on their capital stock was granted yesterday by the board of equalization of Montgomery county.
 The valuation on the stock of the i've banks which applied was fixed at 60 per cent of the market value of the stock, thus putting the stock on uni form footing with the assessment on bank stock in other counties in the other States and making such valua- ton practically the same as that placed on real estate.
 On this basis the Exchange National was assessed at 75 per cent of its par value, the Fourth National and the First National at ss per cent, the Un- ion Bank and Trust Company at T5 per cent, and the Montgomery Bank and Trust Company at 36 per cent.
 There was no opposition to the re- Auction. w. H. Lawson, of the board, talked briefly endorsing the reduction. saving that he believed it was the in tention and purpose of the State board Of assessment to have the assessment fixed at go per cent of the market value.
 Al inc former meeting of the board of eaualization, 1t wifi De recalled. the application of the banks was turned down. because 1t was thought the board had no authority to make a schanwe ia the hooks after fhAv had been closed.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE
Breathe fiyomei's Tonic Healing
 and be Cured of cRtarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, treatment that is far better than dos- ing the stomach with medicine. 1t is the healing oils and balsams of Hyomei which medicates the air you breathe, reaching the most remote air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, Killing all catarrhal germs, and restor- ing health to the mucous membrane.
 Tn using Hyomei you are treating your catarrhal troubles with the only. natural remedy. for it gives a curative cir bath to the air passages that has as powerful healing and antiseptic ef- feet as that found in the mountains where the pine forests give off ther fragrant and healing balsamss
 Breathe the invigorating and healing Hyonnei. and see how quickly you will xet relief from your catarrhal trou- bles. E. c. Fowler has seen so many cures even of the worst cases of ca- tarrh, with offensive breath raising of mucus. frequent sneezing drop pings in the throat and spasmodic coughing. that they feel warranted in selling Hyomei under ran absolute guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not do all that Is claimed for it. ~3e takes all the risk.
