ahead when the House reaches tho

spite this opposition from those who

is largely for county benefit. He
would be glad to have incorporated
into the bin senator Hollands bill
providing that the county should bear
par, of the local assessment expense.
The Tucker amendment ne thought
unwise.
Some provision must be made FOR
tax revision and reform. Nothing
more important can be done than the
creation Of tax commission to pro-
vide data for the scsaion OF the Lcgis-

mate must be attempted

counts could summon local assessors

| In case the commission declined to
revise appeal might be taken to the

Senator Parsons offered an amend

! each county, consisting of a competent
I man from each magisterial district
! He thought the Auditor the busiest

TIME FOR REFLECTION.

The Ohio Republicans, notwith-
standing the fact that there was a
disagreement Of opinion on some is
sues, were unanimous on the question
of the tariff and the plank in their
platform is set forth in large letters.
at did not raise the rate of duty
on a single common food product"
says the Ohio resolution. The in
creases were made on luxuries and ar
ticles not OF ordinary use. II affords no
more than adequate protection to the
industries of the nation and is fair
alike TO consumers, Iaborers and pro-
ducers- No tariff bill was ever more
unjustly assailed."
1t is just as well that all the facts
were kept before the people all the
time. The people who work for liv-
ing, and they are in a large majority.
are more deeply interested in the final
settlement OF the tariff question than
any other class Of citizens. 1t is a
time for study and reflection.

THE HUMAN FOREHEAD.

PhrenOlOgy is not an exact science
but, according to the evidence Of ply
siognomy, the forehead may tell few
tales. For instance, a high forehead,
to be very good, would be we'll devel-
oped about the eyebrows
Breadth Of forehead is always ia
vorable. It is distinctly connected
with breadth OF character. A fore
head that curves back reveals poetic
temperament, fondness for the arts
and talent for either music or paint
ing. Of course a broad forehead may
be part OF a weak face, and a weak
chin and mouth will naturally give a
truer impression of character than
even a combination of narrow fore
head with an otherwise strong face.
If there is quite a perceptible bulge
of the eyebrows, combined with a high
forehead, the sign is of a calm, cool,
deliberate thinker.
If with these eyebrows is combined
a forehead that slopes gradually back.
a sensitive, poetic temperament is dis
closed. If again, they are combined
with a short. narrow forehead, the
subject will be successful in business
and in everything connected with
worldly matters. but he or she will be
incapable Of approaching to any ex-
tent or Of creating anything connected
with the arts.

DOUGH- FOR CLEANING WATCHES

From the earliest times in the his
tory of matchmaking, II has been the
custom of Watchmakers to reduce
fresh bread to the form of dough.
This is done by steaming and knead-
ing. They can use this dough for re-
moving oil and chips that naturally
adhere, in course of manufacture, 70
pieces as small as the parts of a
watch
There are many parts of a watch,
by the way, which are so small as to
be hardly visible to the naked eye
The oil absorbed by the dough, and
the chips stick to it. and there is no
other known substance which can be
used as a wiper without leaving some
small particles attached to the thing
wiped. This accounts for the con-
unued use of bread dough in the
matchmaking industry. The Elgin Ma
tional Watch company uses something
over forty twO-pOund lOaves per day,
or about $4,000 pounds a year.

NEW WORKER SURPRISED.

A New Yorker who has wandered
as far west as Chicago and returned
with his scalp in the proper position,
saw many things to interest him which
he announced to the proVincials upon
his return For instance:
Garbage cans in New York with no
covers and the contents all. over the
sidewalks; garbage cans in Chicago
covered. Dogs cannot get at them.
New York store and sidewalk sweep
ings deposited in the. streets: people
fined in Chicago If this takes place.
Many conductors in New York street
cars have their hands in a filthy con-
dition; in Chicago all conductors are
compelled TO keep their hands prop
erly washed.
Politeness on street cars in New
York a rare occurrence by both con-
ductors and the public; In Chicago it
is a pleasure TO ride. as you are treated
as a gentleman.
Gentlemen" in New York put their
feet on the seats of the cars and cross
their legs so the public can fall over
them; gentlemen in Chicago never put
their feet In the improper place.
Storekeepers in New York dump the
refuse on the drives and streets in the
Washington Heights section; in Chi
cago such a thing is never thought of
even in the cheapest part of the city.

The temper of the anti-Catholic agi-
