IN the southwest pavilion of the LIZ
brary of Congress is now set forth
an exhibition of etchings by Cailot
and Della Bella of uncommon IN
terest. Three hundred and sixty
FIVE works by Callot are shown, and 24'
nv Della Bella. These have been selected
from the collection assembled with so
much care and discrimination by the late
Gardiner Green Hubbard. and presented
after his death by Mrs. Hubbard to the
nation; from the T. Harrison Garrett COZ
lection. which has, for a number Of years,
been generously left on deposit IN the
Library of Congress, and from the IL
brary's own collection, built up largely
under the direction of Mr.. A. j. Parsons,
chief of the division Of prints.
Cabot was a Frenchman, Della Bella
an Italian. and both were contemporaries
of Rembrandt, the master etcher. This
is specially worthy of note, inasmuch as
1t goes to show that the art of etching
was, as 1t were, born full-hedged, and
that the impulse for this manner of ex-
preston was felt almost simultaneously
by artists in France. Italy and Holland.
1t is true that jacques Cabot lived
much in Italy, but his traditions were
French, and his inclinations from the
first Indicated preference for line rather
than color. His. was rather, an extra
ordinary history. Born at Nancy IN 1872,
the son of a nobleman, the herald at
arms" for Lorraine, he was 1t is said,
destined for government service. but twice
escaped parental vigilance and betook
himself to Italy. The first Of these
escapades was when he was but twelve
wears of age, the second while he was yet
lad In the first instance he was taken
home by an elder brother, in the second
less forcibly by some Of his fathers
friends. The latter time he made his
way as far as Florence in the company
of party of gypsies, and found en-
pioyment in the atelier Of Canta-Gallina,
the engraver, whose instruction proved
of great service. Thence he went to
Rome, where he was discovered and re-
turned. His father, meanwhile, had learn
ed wisdom, and, finding his determination
to become an artist unaltered, eventually
consented to assist him. ami arranged
that with proper escort he should once
more journey back to Rome. For while
he studied there under Philippe Thomas
sin. In 1911, for all this had happened
before the young artist was nineteen, he
went again to Florence, met his old mas
ter, engraved certain great paintings, and
made a number Oh etchings from his own
designs. Then began his career. First
one noble patron and then another kept
him from want and encouraged his eff
forts. But it was not until 1921 or 1872
when he returned to his old home. that
his individuality asserted itself and he
won wide reputation.

back grim and angry sea; before him
lay an eigth of a mile of sand-locked

it presents an appalling problem, but

of a concentration of light and happy re-

The very high rate here must be

We believe that with the proper

ANCIENT DOCTORS.
Some of the Things They Knew Twelve
Hundred Years Ago.


Hundred Years Ago.
The Russian Academy Of Medicine
after examining a Tibetan Hand
book of Medicine" first published 1,20O
years ago. acknowledges that 1t con-
tainS many truths discovered or redis-
covered by modern physicians. Here
are some extracts from the ancient
volume:
Number Of bones In the human
body, 800; number of nerves. 80: num-
ber of pores. 100000.
"The heart is the king Of the organs
and the STAFF Of life. The lungs EN-
brace 1t as mother does her child.
Sicknesses are due to mans malice, ig-
norance and inability to curb the pas
sions, for these things interfere with
the proper nourishment of the human
organs All unkind thoughts react
upon the heart and liver"
The methods for ascertaining the
state of a persons health were very
similar to those methods employed to-
day-looking at the tongue, feeling the
pulse. etc. Vegetable medicines are
advocated; also baths, congresses, mas
sage, bloodletting, etc. Fines were i'm
posed upon physicians who did not
keep their instruments clean.

Our High Tax Rate.

A man working for the public
should give the same service as If
working for an individual and should
not receive any more pay.
If care and good Judgme ent was
exercised in the expenditure of the
money of the village the same amount
of improvements and repairs could be
done at much less cost.
The fact that many people give in
their property for taxation at an
absurdlY low valuation and that no
taxes are paid on large amount of
property is well known.
AS long as people are lacking In a
sense of honor which requires them to
give in their property at its true
value or to attempt to evade taxa
tion entirely just that long will a
community be compelled to pay a
high rate.
Some will pay much more than they
should while others will not pay any
thing like as much as they should.
The tax rate for Hillsboro for 1909
is 40 8 mills.
A high tax rate is a disadvantage
to any community and the rate here
should be decreased at least 10 mills.
Amy town when the tax rate is over 30
mills is certain to have trouble In
securing new industries to locate
there. People do not want to invest
