The assessors OF the various coun-

session In Boise, decided that for the
present year all property should be
assessed at one-half its actual value.
The law says that the assessment
shall be at full value, but the law
has never been followed in this state
and probably never will be, II ought
to DO amended to read that all prop
erty should be assessed at one-half
Its cash value and the assessors would
then be able to comply with the law.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Soap Bubble Parties.

Soap bubble parties are most inter.
esting for all sizes and ages. Good
clay pipes and CASTLE soap and bowls
enough to go round are the needful
things; also a room which will not be
hurt by a. sprinkling of soapsuds, and
one thing more, the smaller the child
the bigger the apron to cover him.
A little glycerin in the lukewarm
soapsuds will make the bubbles bright
er and more durable, and If a thick
shawl is spread on the floor they will
bounce upon It like transparent balls.
A bubble tournament is great fun.
Arrange sides, with leaders, Of course
Let one side step forward in a line,
with pipes and bowls; then the leader
starts and sees how many bubbles he
can make with one dip Of his pipe,
Each Of his followers does likewise,
while some one not in the game keeps
the score. Then the other side takes
its turn, and the side which blows the
greatest number is the prize winner.
There are many different ways Of
enjoying this pretty pastime, and sci
ence has discovered several methods
of heightening the colors in the bub-
bles before bursting.

A Mantle With a History.

In the windows Of a silk and lace
shop at The Hague there was dis
played few weeks ago a mantle With
q history. OF finest lace, all in one
piece, It was made for the coronation
of the Empress Eugene, and seven
Aeedlewomen worked several years
upon 1t. An eminent French artist
made the design for the lace, and the
sketch was destroyed as soon as the
pattern was worked. 1t cost something
like $4,000. But the event for which
1t was made never took place, and the
empress wore it only once-at the
opening of the Suez canal in 1869. For
twenty eight years it reposed in a
pawnshop in Athens. How it got there
no one seems to know.

WHERE me GOLD CAME FRoM

One of the interesting questions OF
our recent raid on London's gold was
how that city managed to send US
nearly seventy million dollars of the
precious metal In November, and
still leave the Bank of England, the
country'S gold repository, with gold
holdings seven millions and a half
larger on November 80 than on Nov
ember /. The November statement
of the British Board of Trade gives
the answer; 1t is rather remarkable.
In all, Great Britain exported in No
vember s19, 100000 more gold than
It imported OF the months $780,
100000 total exports, s69,600, 900
were shipped to the United States,
says the New York Evening Post
Every one knows that the new
gold from the Transyaal and a gold
loan by the Bank of France helped
to make good this heavy loss the
official figures show, however, only
ten millions dollars received from
South Africa and sixteen and a half
million dollars from France. Whence
did the twenty-nine million dollars
balance of imports come? India APP
pears to have sent only $500, 900 and
Australia only 100000; therefore
two of England's greatest reliances
failed her In the emergency. Dur
ing that period of crisis, Berlin was
in financial straits; yet the Board OF
Trade figures disclose the extraor-
binary fact that Germany has sent
to England, In November, $780,
100000 gold, or more than came
from any other single quarter. How
did Germany spare this gold? The
question Is perplexlng. None OF 1t
could have come from Russia, for
the Imperial Bank OF st. Petersburg
reported as large gold holdings at
the end of the month as at the be-
ginning. AS for the German Imper-
ial Bank, its specie reserve decreased
only seventeen and half million
dollars In November. Is 1t conceiv-
able that American demand, operat-
Ing through London, actually drain
ed Germany coin circulation?

Animal InteIIiasnee.

Recently a mare and colt belonging
to Wisconsin farmer were turned out
In a pasture where there was a swamp.
After day or two the colt got mired.
When the mother realized that he was
beyond her help she galloped to the
house and nelghed and by her conduct
showed that something was wrong.
The farmers wife followed her to the
field, saw the situation and then got
her husband and other help to extri-
cate the colt.
In Michigan not long ago calf got
caught In the fence, and its mother
galloped half mile to where some
men were at work to let them know
1t. There Is no doubt that animals Of
q kind can talk to each other, but 1t
has been proved thousand times over
that all domestic animals depend upon
man when in trouble.

Novel Experiment with : Rat.

In seattle's fight against the spread
Of the bubonic plague by rats an inter-
esting experiment was made recently,
says the New York Tribune. A rodent
was dyed blue and turned loose to find
Out just how long It could retain Its
liberty and how far II could travel
without falling into one of the myriad
of public and private traps set for the
plague distributors, The particular rat
selected for the test was caught week
after being turned out mile from the
point where 1t was liberated. In one
week lately 2025 rats were received
by the health department, Of which
1.629 were paid for at the rate Of 10
cents each. The total number Of rats
brought in since the plague campaign
started Is 1881.

The sons Of New Hampshire farm
er routed fox out Of his den few
days ago, and their two dogs ran him
mile. Reynard made for barnyard
and upon reaching it ran directly up
to a COW and stood between her front
feet. When the dogs came rushing up
the cow went for them and tossed one
over the fence and badly gored the
other. When the boys arrived she re.
fused to let them enter the barnyard.
The fox hung about her until he got
good and rested and then went bis
way. The COW couldn't have mistaken
the fox for little calf, and just why
she took up his battle SO promptly is
a matter to puzzle over.

KipIinR's Idealism.

That Rudyard Kipllng would have
received many votes--perhaps a ma
tority Of the ballots-of any board Of
American critics selected on broad
lines IL a fair inference from the com.
ments Of the newspaper and periodical
press Of this country upon his capture
Of the Nobel prize for literature. The
Norwegian committee of award set
tied upon Kipling as the foremost ideal
list among living writers of English, a
characterization which the Phlladel-
phia Press declares "lncomprehensi-
BILE to those whose reading began be-
fore his (Kipllng's) work and natural
to those moved and nodded by his
genius" This last view is sustained
by the New York Independent, which
says
No other living author has done 20
much to show to tlbe world the real IDEAL
ism which even in this assumedly pro-
sale and gordid age is the motive power
OF our days work. He alone has been
capable of mastering the machine In
poetry as we have mastered It in modern
life. He has preached in verse and story
the gospel of service, of obedience and
OF stubborn fulhllment of duty with the
spirit and often with the phraseology of
the Hebrew prophets.
This note of appreciation, which finds
many to echo 1t, leads the Chicago Post
to declare at the end Of an analysis of
Kipling's gospel Of service" that "his
selection is highly discredltable to the
Nobel trustees" The Post comedies
that Kiplings songs OF the "glory OF
labor and service" form single strong
claim to producing most excellent
work Of an idealistic character" and
continues:
But when one considers the ends to
which Mr.. Kipling dedicates labor and
service this claim can be dismissed. His
idealism 10 ideallzation-the ldealization
OF might, combined with the faith that
might Is right. Mr.. Kippling has no con-
ception of the idealism of democracy.
From the "Plain Tales to the Island
ers'' he has harped on the militaristlc

MIR. Kipllng is infected by Biblical Eng
fish. His fine "Recessional" is psalmlike.
But In essence It Is a prayer to God to
stick to the Anglo-Saxon In his dominion

This paper adds that no one can dare
to say for Mr.. Kipling that his writ
lngs "have undenlably had a liberal,
emaneipating and ennobllng influence"
while the Outlook, addressing those
who question Kipllng's right to the
prize, asserts that he has struck the

of achievement land has appealed to

The posters are worded as follows:
"Hoboes, keep moving. Rent is high

The Idea originated with Marshal

memorable events took place, and
there are few monuments which
serve the same purpose. But the out.

Washington said farewell to his troops
and where the first chamber Of com.
