Fewer Love letters Now.

TITS wonderful how few love letters
are recalled through the mails these
days" remarked a postoffice attache
the other day. 81 can remember when
scores of SWANS came in every day to
take advantage of the postal provi-
sions for recalling letters after they
had been mailed. 1t is not difficult to
notice a great falling off in the pro-
portion OF the letters from young men
to girls that are recalled. 1 take it
that people are getting more careful
about what they say. Then there is
another reason-the telephone. Young
men do not write love letters so much
when they can call their sweethearts
on the phone and have a few minutes
chat with them every day or two in
a Deighboring city. Still, I don't sup
pose the oldfashioned love letter win
ever be entirely supplanted"

class are not borrowers, but lenders.
This is markedly so in Ontario.
Turning to the other side of the

current loans and discounts, which
represent the volume of money en-

ALANe OF NEW GUINEA.
Grass That Makes Fierce Warfare on
All Other Kinds Of Vegetation.

DR.. Pooh, the Austrian anthropo-
logist. who has spent a long time in
New Guinea studying it's natives and
its geography, tells OF a remarkable
variety of grass that makes fierce
warfare upon other kinds of vegeta-
ton SO that practically nothing else
grows where 1t gets foothold
The natives cali il alang, II has a
tall. thick and tough stalk, but its
greatest popularity is its roots, which
spread out through every particle of
earth they reach and give It a matted
texture something like felt. There is
really no room left for the the roots
Of any other kind of vegetation.
Fields of aiang cannot exist In for
ests because the plant does not thrive
in the shade. Neither can any kind
OF tree make Roadway in a patch of
alang.
The two kinds of vegetation are an
tagonistic. One win not grow where
the other exists. Large patches Of
alang are found surrounded by tim
Der and remain there like islands, for
no trees will grow in them. Between
the alang and the forest is a sort of
neutral zone, for the shade Of the high
trees prevents the development of the
grass.
The New Guinea natives help to ex-
tend the area covered by this grass.
Each year they make new clearing
in the forest for their little planta-
tons. AS soon as these are aban-
doned the alang takes firm lodgment
there 1t has won Just so much ter
ritory from the forest and it yields
to no corners.

One OF the sights of London is the
great ivory floor at the London docks,
where, previous to and during the
periodical sales, ivory may be seen
literally by the acre, for the tusks
are laid out In lots on the floor of
one Of the great warehouses for in
spection by intending purchasers.
For weeks previous to the actual
sale the special staff of the ivory
department have been busy prepar-
ing the various consignments and
arranging them according to the size
and quality and CHASING them into
the various grades, each Of which
has some particular use for which it
is especially adapted.
There is practically no waste in
the manufacturing of articles from
ivory. The smallest chip is not
thrown away, but carefully preserved
to be utilized for some purpose. Even
the shayings from the turning down
Of a billiard ball have marked
value for use in inlaid work Com
sequently the lots in an ivory sale
by no means consist of tusks and Sec
tions of tusks alone, but include the
residue from many previous sales.
Buyers purchase the particular class
that they require for their own I'M
dividual industry and subsequently
return what in most other material
would be waste to be resold to manu-
facturers of a different class os
goods.
Though there is "no waste" oddly
enough the most important consid-
GRAFTON from a buyers point of view
is how much waste will certain
lot produce in the course of trans
forming it into its own particular
line? Thus, lot that would be
dear to one would be a gift to an
other, and vice versa. The most
valuable class of ivory is thai suit
able for making billiard balls. To
conform to the requirements the
tusk must be perfectly sound and
solid, without the slightest suspicion
of crack or flaw, and, moreover, they
must measure only a trif1e more than
the regulation size billiard ball or

manufacturers point of view. On

worked elephant ivory from abroad

of the interior or hollow part of the

REFORM FISCAL SYSTEM
Change Needed In The Finan-
cial Conduct Of the State
REDUCTION or STATE TAXES
From Five TO Two Mills Il Suggested
By Governor Smith.---Mueh Property
Not Returned.

Atlanta. Ga.--That Georgia's fiscal
system is in need Of some kind Of re-
form Is the opinion Of every state
house official connected with the finan-
cial conduct Of the state. This was
very clearly brought out in the dis
cussson as to whether or not there
would be an unsual dehcat to be as
sumed by the Joe Brown administra-
tion next July.
AT present the states fiscal year Is
from January / to January /. The
taxes for the year to pay appropria-
tions made by the legislature, which
meets In June, come In mainly during
December and January following. The
deiinQuentS continue to come In dur
ing April, May. Juno and even as lato
as July.
Thus. for example, although the
state prohibition law went into effect
January !, 1908, the proceeds from the
old TAX on liquor received during the
present year has amounted to $4,000,
according to the figures In the Office OF
the comptroller general
Yet to every suggestion Of change
in the present fiscal system there Is
strenuous opposition. If 1t is pro-
posed to change the fiscal year so that
1t will stand from July to July 1,
there is objection If the proposed
change affects the time at which tax
es are to be returned, there Is still
more vigorous complaint.
Still some system Of tax reform Is
universally agreed to be necessary.
Governor Smith favors the appoint
ment Of a tax equalization board which
will bring into sight for taxation,
property not now returned, and which
there is no way of reaching.
1t is his idea that the work of this
board would result in reducing the
taxes on the great body of the people
by forcing certain classes of people
to bear their full share OF the burden
of carrying on the state administra-
ton.
IN discussing the evil of tax dodg-
ing, Governor Smith said that il some
system could be DEVISED to force the
big corporations to pay taxes upon
fair valuation Of their property, the
states tax rate could be reduced from
mills, which is the constitutional
limit, to miles.

SHOOTING ON HIMALAYAs.
Game Birds of India Their Habits
and Peculiarities.


The common pheasant of the Mus
soorie district and also of Kumaon is
the white crested kali, says writer
fo~ Field. My experience of the Him
alayan pheasants points to their be-
ing birds of unsporting, Nskulking
habits. When flushed by dogs they
frequently perch in trees, and when
sitting thus 1 have occasionally shot
them with. rock rife after they had
been freed by my spaniel. Very close
and strict. beating is necessary in or
der to send the birds over the guns;
even then they seldom make long
flights, diving back again into covert
on the first opportunity.
OF course, the heavy and extensive
Jungle of the Indian hillsides is large
ly responsible for the disappointing
nature of the shooting. Even the
English pheasant has, in the thick
and continuous bush Of New Zea-
land, become a bird of low sporting
value, preferring, like the Indian
kali, to run rather than fly. No
doubt, if the kali could be estab-
lished in a country of small detached
woods, such as the Neilgherry pla-
teau, where the beaters could compel
them to face the open, they would
give nearly as fine sport as the Eu-
ropean pheasant.
A peculiar and difficult shot, which
oh mr. ic
called on to take, is when kali
dives perpendicularly from the top to
the bottom of a steep sided ravine.
One must hold then well below, as
though the bird we're a falling stone.
BY far the best time for shooting
is in the winter, when the covert has
thinned. When the season first opens,
Just after the monsoon is over, all
vegetation is at its rankest, and it is
then especially hard to turn the
pheasants out of their Businesses.
At high elevations in the Hima-
layas the sportsman constantly meets
with the great snow cock. These
birds are not pheasants, but gigantic
mountain cartridges, and are found
in pairs near the snow, from 1900
feet upwards. They are heavily
built, sober colored birds, and the
plumage of both sexes is alike-grey
above, penciled with black, and with
chestnut borders to the wings; the
tail, which is square ended like that
Of : grouse, is reddish gray and chest
nut marked with black.
