"Baiderdash!"

An illustration Of the manners of
critics in bygone days is furnished by
a scathing notice once printed concern
ing volume of Browning's poems. 1t
was an early volume, and Browning
was delighted to receive letter from
j. S. Mill proposing to write notice
Of them in the Westminster Review
A few days later his expectations were
dashed by hearing from Mr.. Mill that
he could not write the article. as he
had been forestalled by notice which
had appeared in the Westminster Re-
view itself. With palpitating heart
Browning rushed to his club and
searched the pages of the Westmin-
ster Review, to find, to his dismay. the
article which had robbed him of Mr..
Mills notice. 1t was to this effect:
"a volume of poems by Browning

Is Oratory a Drawback?

The great orators have not been the
most fortunate aspirants for the presi-
dency. Webster, Clay, Douglas and
Blaine were idolized by their follow
ers, not only for their abilities and
personal traits, but also for their per-
suasive powers of speech. Horace
Greeley, candidate of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in 1872, was
not.a notable orator, but was none the
less an effective talker. He made a
speaking tour in the latter part of the
campaign, and, although his position
was an anomalous one, he acquitted
himself with credit, even if he was
overwhelmingly defeated. Tilden, who
in his free soil days made speeches.
obtained his mastery by his pen, not
by his tongue. Grant. who was called
the silent man because he could not
make a speech when he first became a
candidate, learned to speak very we'll
in public, his speech for Garfield in
1880 being a good example of his de-
velOpment in that direction.-Boston

The Palisades.

To see New York city from the Pail
sades is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder of the Palisades them
selves. One Of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur is that they lie SO
close to the most artificial, man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip Verrill Mighels
in Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
is like stepping to the edge of the
world, where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as if it were only
a part Of space, it's countless lights
looking like millions of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base of the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar Of the substantial city.

WORK YOUR ROAD TAX.

There is still one way that farmer
can work out part of his road tax; it
may be done without asking the per-
mission of anyone; il will improve your
farm far more than you will get pay
for and still you will draw bigger pay
for the work by the day than
you would earn working for the town
ship. This is the law: Section 2 Of
chapter Y of act No. PAP of the Public
Acts OF 1881 as amended, provides
"Any person planting shade trees
along the highway adjacent to property
owned or occupied by such person shall
be entitled to be credited twenty-five
cents upon his highway tax for every tree
80 planted, but not to exceed in the aggre-
gate twenty-five per cent of such per-
sons highway tax in any one year"
Nothing could add more to the value
of property than to have each land
owner take advantage of this law. Do
you not think that your land would in
crease i'm value one dollar an acre each
year for ten years If you surround it
with thrifty naples?
