CHANGERS ARE STUDYING,

Whether the constitution shall he
amended to provide for a classifica-
ton Of property for purposes of taxa
ton Is the burning question of the
hour. The grange has not vet pro-
nOunced on this proposition. The
oranges are studying the question dill.
iEently. At the last session, by unan.
aimOus vote, the State Grange declared
its willingness to cooperate with all
other interests in promoting such a
revision of our tax system as would
be just and fair to all classes. AS
master of the State Grange / have
neither authority nor desire to speak
for that body till it has declared its
position. What say is the result of
my personal convictions and upon my
own responsibility Fifty-six years
ago the trainers of our constitution
fixed therein the uniform rate on a
property value, binding their own and
future generations. The tether is too
snort to meet present conditions; let
us cut it and under proper restraint
have liberty to go far afield in an
efort to reach the millions of intangi-
Die property now withheld because OF
the iron-clad uniform rate for all
classes OF property. 1t is my dellber-
ate opinion that there should now be
lodged In some department of the
government, directly responsible to
the people, authority to revise our
system Of taxation from time to time
as changed conditions, necessity and
experience suggest-F. A. Der,hick

WHO IS "OLD?"

Governor Harris and Candidate Har-
mon Both "over Twenty-one."
The Honorable Judson Harmon,
who, 1t should be explained is the
Democratic nominee for governor this
year, is travelling the county fair cir
cult telling that Governor Harris is "a
nice old gentleman" From the et1ec-
tive way in which he dwells on the
world "old" some might imagine that
Harmon Is still in his teens and is
compiling his speeches from the
bright lexicon of youth. However,
ris might, with extreme propriety, re-
tort by referring to Judge Harmon as
"a nice old gentleman" be it remem-
bered that the Democratic candidate
Is five months older than Senator For
aker, who enlisted in the war of the
rebellion in 1861 and emerged as
captain and veteran. He s - years
older than President Roosevelt, II
years older than Secretary Taft and
ID years the senior CT Bryan, who is
old enough himself to have been

been II years since Mr.. II on re-
tired from public life with III inten-
tion of spending his declining days in
an obscurity marred only by an occa-
sional newspaper reference to his
name as being "also mentioned"
How old is a man, anyhow? Th3
answer of the doctors is that man
Is as old as his arteries. He may be
in the full vigor of his maturity at 72,
reaping the reward of clean life
spent out of doors. near to natures
heart, or he may be the mere relic of
a forgotten political episode at 62.
Governor Harris may be "a nice old
gentleman" but that is no argument.
There are good many Of his seniors
actively engaged in the worlds work
today. Pope Plus X and the king Of
the Belgians are the same age, and
Mark Twain at 70 Is amply able to
take care of any one with the temer-
ity to place him on the re ired list.
Hetty Green, Andrew Carnegie and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson were
born the same year as Governor Har.
ris. Senator Depew, Pesident Eliot
of Harvard, Cardinal Gibbons and the
dowager empress of China are 70.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har-
Ian of the supreme court are "A, as
are also the president of Panama,

Who is "old" indeed? Certainly not
the active, hearty, busy man of 72,
who rises at a. m. and devOtes IA
hours daily to public affairs and has
time enough to enjoy life beside. But
there may be grave doubts about the
lingering youth of that candidate who,
emerging from a retirement of II
years, finds his thinker SO encased In
cobwebs that he can not devise bet

Had You
Planned to do
Any Papering?

Well, by far the most particular
part of all your plans is to make
sure that the right paper goes on
the walls.
The cost ofthe paper is worth con-
sidering-but style, newness, suit
ability is your main lookout.
For it is quite possible for you to
pay us &c a roll and get new de-
signs, while at other places you
may pay as high as 40c roll, and
still have patterns away behind
the times.
The hint should be plain enough.
We've a whole NEW stock to
show you-a bright, dependable
lot of paper. Wall paper that you
can buy from in safety without

Rhinoceros Takes Drugs.

Fifteen New York veterinaries
made the discovery recently that the
dose of anaesthetic required to put a
rhinoceros to sleep is pound and
three-Quarters of chloroform and half
a pound of ether.
This accession to veterinarian
science was made during an opera
ton to remove cataracts on the eyes
of Mogul. the Indian rhinoceros IN
the Bronx Zoo. Mogui, after succumb-
ing to more than half a gallon OF
anaesthetic, remained under its influ-
enoe for an hour, and at the end OF
that time began to crouch hay as
though nothing had happened.
Through q blow on the head IN his
native jungle Mogul nearly lost the
sight of both eyes, and the operation
was agreed upon after careful exami-
nation.
The big problem was to tell how
much aneasthetic it was safe to give.
The hide Of the pachyderm was SO
thick that no pulse was Obtainable,
and the stethOsoope was useless. BY
means of derrick and harness Mogul
was thrown. A roll of cotton batting,
stuffed in cone of brown paper.
was used to administer the anaesthet-
ic. Before the rhinoceros was put
to sleep the fumes nearly overcame
the doctors and keepers. The opera
tion consumed half an hour.-NeW

CaterpilIars in Church.

The plague of small spotted cater
pillars made everybody uncomfortable
in the upper Bedford section Of Brook
Ign Sunday. Two large chm trees on
McDonough street, between Sumner
and Lewis avenues, were 30 covered
with them that the bark could not DO
seen. There were groups OF curious
onlookers about the trees all day.
The caterpiNars are only half an
inch long and have q sharp sting.
They fell from the trees on church
goers, and then, during the service,
they struck where the armor was
thinnest. With the crawling sensa-
ton and the bites, women who wore
open work waists and gauzy hose were
in misery until church was over

A Tribute to Admiral Sperry.

1t is fortunate that we should have
in command of the fleet visiting Ja-
pan so accomplished and able an Off
Ger as Rear-Admiral Charles s. Sper-
ry. He has no superior in the navy
of the United States, or in any other
navy, for that matter. At the last
Hague conference his Intellectual
ability, his thorough knowledge of
his profession, of international law
and of technical details concerning
the navies and the harbors of other
nations placed him in the lead among
the representatives of great navies,
and his countrymen were proud to
have as their representative so able
and well equipped an officer. The
ability with which Admiral Sperry is
handling his fleet, the courtesy and
good sense he is showing in his inter-
course with foreigners, will add still
further to the esteem in which he is
held at home and abroad as an able
sea officer, we'll equipped in all that
concerns his profession, and high
minded and dignified representative
of his country. - Army and Navy

A DYING MANS RECORD.

The first explorers to perish on the
Ice cap of Greenland were Mylius
Erlchsen and his two comrades, in
November last. The earlier report
that they had drifted on an ice foe
away from the east coast was mac.
curate. Here are the facts as given
by the surviving members of the ex-
pedition upon their arrival in Den
mark:
In the spring of last year Erichsen
started from his winter quarters in
latitude 76 degrees 40 minutes, where
his ship was in harbor, to explore the
unknown northeast coast of Green
land. He had ten sledges, divided
among four sledging parties. The
work was successfully achieved, the
northeaGt coast was outlined and was
found to extend much further to the
east than had been expected.
Three of the sledge parties re-
turned to the ship, but the fourth
party, consisting of Erichsen, the
commander, and Lieutenant Hagen
and Mr.. Bronlund, did not come back.
several parties were sent out to hunt
for the missing men, but it was not
until last spring that definite news of
their fate was obtained.
Erichsen and his two comrades had
remained behind on the north coast
to complete some details of their
work. Bad weather set in and thew
were detained until late in the sum-
mer, when they set out over the high
ice cap of Greenland to regain their
vessel. Their fate was revealed in
a remarkable manner.
One of the search parties in March
last reached crevice in the ice in
which they found the body of Bron-
lund. Near the body were sketches
showing the results of the final ex-
ploratlons, and the dying man had
written In his diary the following
words:
Il am dying in latitude 70 degrees
north under the hardships of the re-
turn journey over the inland ice in
November. l reached this place I'M
der a waning moon and cannot go on
because of my frozen feet and the
darkness. The bodies of the others
are in the middle of the ford. Hagen
died on November Is. Mylius Erich

New ZeaIand's Prosperity.

The following gives some zdea- OF
the progress made by New Zealand in
fifty years: In 1858 the population
was $4,000. The land cultivated
measured 100000 acres, and the live
stock numbered 1,716,G00. The fig
ures in 1907 were 100000 persons,
100000 acres and 23,400,000 head
of stock. The deposits in bank fifty
years ago amounted to &44S,000 COM
pared with e23,517,000 in 1907. The
Savings Bank held $4,000, against
s12,S25,0O0 in 1907. The vessels
belonging to New Zealand fifty years
ago represented 1000 tons gross: now
they total $4,000 tons. The exports
in 1853 made a total value Of &434,-
600, as compared with e17,300,OOO
in 1907. The values of the principal
exports show enormous increases in
wool, butter, cheese, flax, gold, gum,
meat and coal.-Scottish American.

WHAT THE BIRDS SAID.

81 think those cherries are ripe.
They're as red as they can be-
Harry stood by his window and
looked out at the cherry tree just
before he went to bed. Grandma
had told him they must not be
touched for some days yet.
II can see them shining red in the
moonlight. If 1 get up early In the

Harry left the curtain up, so that
the sun would awaken him early.
1t did. AS we all know, the sun
is very early riser.
Harry lay for few minutes half
asleep. Just outside the open win
dow the birds were singing. They
brought to Harry's mind a funny
story grandma had told him the night
before, in which some little boys had
fancied they heard words in the bird
twitter.
81 wonder if you really CAM" said
Harry. 'There, now! Hear that
one so near the window"
"Cherry-tree, cherry-tree!" chirped
the bird.
Harry opened his eyes wide.
cit certainly did say it," 1t came
again:
"Cherry-tree, cherry-tree, cherry
tree!"
He listened as a soft cooling came
from a tree farther Off.
81 do believe it says, Don't
touch! Don't-touch!"
By this time all the birds were
Joining in the chorus. and If you
could have heard it! Marble, coo,

touch, don't-touch! Listent-o-
me-me-me-meme! Wait little, wait
a little!
That's just what I'm going to do, ="
said Harry. I'D be ashamed to have
these birds know I'd do mean
thing"
Three days later grandma gave
him a handful of cherries. And in
three days more she told him he
might eat all he wanted Of the shin
ing red fruit How he thanked the
birds.-Sydney Dare, in the Bee
