A Domestic Moose.

A COW moose came out Of the woods
near Houlton, Me-, recently and is now
making her home with the cattle on
Ira Porter's farm. The moose seems
to have lost all her wild instinct and
is contented to remain with the cows.

lar rc!uri &. II. property at its
true value was to cuu.,lly distribute
the tax burden upon it as required
by the constitution; and to produce
a just relation between all valua-
tons OF property within the state.
1t was not to increase the amount
OF revenue raised. The refusal to
make such provision in the law
created constcrnation among as
scssing officers. Auditors, town.
ship and county boards became a
law unto themselves. Real estate
valuations were reduced from 10
to SO per cent in many counties Of
the state; while the unfortunate
taxpayers who had returned their
personal property at its full value
failed to get relief. The state
board OF equalization met as usual,
but rcfucsd to even take into con-
sldcration the inequalities existing
in the state. AS an example Of
the condition prevailing, the town.
ship board Of Dunklin township, il
Grccnvillc county, assessed all
lands in that township at S5 per
acre. The taxpayers appealed to
the county board for relief, but that
board adjourned without giving
them hearing. Ecighty-four tax
payers appealed to tho comptroller
general. The evidence showed,
AND the assessment records substan-
tlatcd the fact, that the township
assessors made no prctcncc at as
scssing and cqualizing property ac-
cording to value, but assessed all
lands at SIS per acre. The testimony
showed that lands that would real
ly sell on the market at from $40
to 800 per acre were assessed the
same as lands recently sold in open
market at So per acre. 1t is thus
seen that a taxpayer owning lands
whose market valuc was SIS per
acre would be paying eight times
as much taxes as the taxpayer OWL
ing lands worth $40 per acre.
But the assessment in Dunklin
township was not an exception
the same condi tions prevailed in
u any portions Of the state. Unless
some provision IS made for assess
mcnt OF real estate more frequent
~ than provided for by Our pres
cnt laws the present incqlabIc val
uatlon must continue to be used |
until 1910. AS heretofore repeat
cdly recommended by me, I be-
llcvc that provision should be made
Tor the assessment Of real estate !
annually. renew this recon-
mcn,lation in view Of the rapid and
constant changes in values Of real
estate caused by the rapid ant con-
tlnuous development Of our state.
1t is necessary in order to secure
uniformity Of taxation upon real
estate, both as between different
pieces OF land in different portions
OF the state and around rapidly
developing towns, and also as be-
tween it and other classes Of pro-
pcrty; and also to correct errors,
which creep in every year. Should
your honorable body prefer to
continue the present system Of only
assessing real estate every fourth !
year, then no better time than the |
present can be found to enact such |
laws as will provide for fair and |
cUlablc assessment in the year 1910.

The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack of
Business Instinct.
The Dundee Advertiser tells a story
illustrating Whistler's forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct.
Being hard pressed for debt and hav-
ing finally been informed he would be
sued unless check for the amount
was sent by return post the artist
mentioned the matter to one of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ng that he had few pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his &C.
count good for check of slightly over
800 and to deposit that amount for him
as loan.
The friend was quite willing and in
due time stood ut the cashiers desk
of Whistle Tx asking the amount
of his balance and explaining the err
rand. The cashier was interested. He
went to the big book of balances, turn
ed over few pages. wrote down some
figures and in moment placed them
before the astonished friend Whis-
tiers balance was more than $4,000.
The artist was delighted, but found 1t
difficult to remember when he had de-
posted so much money or where he
had got IT.

Mirth of a Murderer.


With the help of little tool, not un.
like n tin opener, our burglar cut two
long slits-one perpendicular, the 9TH
CT horizontal-in the iron shop shutter.
Then lie wrenched the flap toward
him, bending 1t with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid of n
sardine tin. Another minute and he
was inside.
Quietly and methodically he thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tie bag, choosing those which besides
being small We're Of great value. The
bag was all but full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop. He carried candle in one hand
and a revolver in the other.
The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
81 did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day."
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand,
when, with sudden thrust, the bur
glar stabbed him to the heart.
The bag was rapidly filled to almost
bursting point, and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote a few
words on a sheet of paper, which he
pasted on the outside Of the shop:
"Closed on account of death in the
family."-I.ondon Scrapa.

Trees eurst From Cold.
Explorers who penetrate the Arctic
and Antarctic seas have n chance to
observe one of the strangest phenom-
ena In nature. that of smoke rising
from the sea. Wherever the tempera-
ture falls to Is degrees below zero
clouds of steaming vapor ascend from
the ocean to be Immediately frozen
into tiny particles of ice and dropped
once more into the water.
The same thing takes place on land
the vapor rising from the snow and
even from the bodies of the explorers
themselves. In this case, however, the
Ice particles fall on the ground and
make weird rustling. like the swish
of silk dress.
AT 40 degrees below zero the sap Of
trees is turned to ice. and the trunks
burst asunder with sharp report.
These mysterious sounds and sights
are awe inspiring to all who do not
know their cause, and they may ac-
count for some of the strange tales
that are told Of the frozen north.
Natural light at sen is much more
common phenomenon. AS the screw Of
a steamer churns the water under GER
tain conditions you may see the waves
glowing angrily where they have been
disturbed. This is called phosphores-
cencc. and scientists arc not agreed as
to its cause.

So They Took the Woman From Her
Washtub to the Galows.
The hanging of a woman, which in
these days calls forth public protests,
was apparently matter of indiffer-
ence to our grandfathers and grand
mothers 1t was in the nineteenth
century that woman found guilty Of
some triliing offense was sentenced to
death. By chance the warrant for her
execution was not sent to the high
sheriff, and she remained in prison
for about three years, acting as jail
washerwoman and occasionally, as a
favor in acknowledgment of her good
behavior, going out, as was then the
custom, as washerwoman to private
houses. But clerk looking through
the home Office records found the war
rant that had never been dispatched
and it was thereupon promptly for.
warded to the sheriff for due process.
The woman was found by the turn
key at the washtub in house in the
town : Aylesbury. ''Well, missus,"
said he. you are to be hanged. The
warrant has come at last, and we must
carry the sentence out tomorrow morn
ing ut the latest" VERY well, them"
the wretched woman submissively re-
piled, II suppose l must CO." and, hay
ing washed the soapsuds off her arms,
departed with the official. She was
duly hanged the next morning, from

THE cows HORN.
Various Ways In Which It Is Made
Useful by Man.

Useful by Man.
Have you any conception of how use
full that horn is to us? Scientifically IL
Is known rs combination of phos.
, phate of lime, gelatin and albumen,
and. like all natures products. the in
gradients are in the right proportion
TO make the article useful to man as
well MS to the animal that bears it.
The lime makes the horn hard, but
there is just enough lime to make it
hard without making it brittle, and
there Is just enough gelatin to make
the horn easy to cut and shape. The
core of the horn is bone, and to get
that out the horn is soaked in water
for several weeks. When the core Is
taken out it Is ground up and made
into crucibles which are used for melt
Ing gold and silver in.
The outer end of the horn is hard
and solid, and that Is used for making
knife handles and other things. The
hollow part of the horn is soaked for
half an hour or so in boiling water,
when 1t becomes soft and may easily
be split with a knife.
1t is then spread out fat and put
between iron plates. There was a
time when these horn plates were
made very thin by hard pressure and
! used in windows and lanterns as we
now use glass. They may be made
quite translucent.
When the horn is heated 1t may be
nodded into almost any desired form.
That is the way knife handles, but
tons and other articles are made.-Chi-

AN OLD TIME DRINK.
Refreshing Switched and the Way Il
Used to Be Made.

Used to Be Made.
They don't make 1t nowadays-not
mostly. But they used to make 1t
years ago, and how good 1t was! The
corn lot had to be cultivated, and it
was long way from the house, and 1t
was very hot up there on the hillside.
When they loaded the cultivator and
the hoes and spades on the stone boat
and hitched the two horses to that dry
ground vessel, they slowed away as
part of the cargo a big stone jug. And
when the corn lot was reached the jug
was slowed away in shady fence
corner under the butternut tree and
covered over with grass to keep it
cool. What was In the jug? Switched.
1t was made Of vinegar, molasses, gin
ger and water. The water was drawn
from the spring beside the kitchen and
was as cold as ice could have made it.
And the stone jug kept it cold. The
vinegar gave it pleasant acidity, the
ginger little "tang'-that's what they
called it up in ''the country"-and the
molasses just sweetened it bit And
how good 1t was to go over into the
fence corner and take few swallows
out Of that jug of switched!
Come on, let's so and get glass of
ice cream soda. 1t will be somewhere
about the hundredth part rs good as n
