The New Tax Law.
{ AsheborO COu rier.)

Some people in some sections seem
to think there is some new thing
under the sun in the assessment law
The law is PRACTICAL a re-enactment
of the old law, save in neparticular,
and that change is in favor OF the
taxpayer. The change is the simple
requirement that the list taker shall
visit the people, instead of the peo-
pie going to the list taker The law
has always required that property
be listed at it's true value in money.
No honest man can complain; the
law still requires him to furnish a
list of his property, as heretofore.
Some one else is not to furnish it for
him. OF course where a man desires
to conceal his property he is not so
likely to succeed in doing so when
the assessor is at his house.
The honest taxpayer should not
complain, for the purpose of the
change was to get on the tax books
property not heretofore listed. The
dishonest taxpayer in the past has
had the advantage. Not SO now
The purpose of the law is not to in
crease the valuation 80 much as it is
to equalize the taxes and to see
that all property holders are treated
fairly and Justly. The law should
not be condemned before it is tried,
for the simple reason that there is a
slight change intended for the better.

At the age of siXty-seven DR.. Har-
vey W. Wiley, chief chemist in the
department of agriculture and chief
crusader in the United States for pure
food and drugs. at last has taken unto
himself wife. His marriage to Miss
Anna Campbell Kelton o. Washington
was an event of national importance.
Some of the jokesmiths are expressing
the hope that the new Mrs. Wiley is a
good cook, for DR.. Wiley certainly de-
serves a wife who, if she does not ac-
tually do the family cooking, is capa
BILE of supervising the work scientifi-
cally.
Mrs. Wiley is the youngest daughter
of the late Brigadier General John Q.
Kelton, who was governor Of the Sol
diers' home at Washington at the time
of his death. She is president of the
iWoman's Suffrage league Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. For several years
she has held an important position in
the library of congress.
1t is gratifying to note that "a break
fast followed the wedding ceremony"
after which DR.. and Mrs. Wiley start
ed on a bridal tour to last several
weeks. Mrs. Wiley's age is less than
half that Of her husband. DR.. Wiley
is the man who led the crusade
against food and drug adulteration
which resulted in the enactment by
congress of the measure known as the
pure food law. This law requires the
labelling of all food packages so that
the buyer may know the exact nature
of the contents. Recently DR.. Wiley
in a speech declared that this is an
overdrugged nation and also that al
cohol is harmful. and the prohibition
of the liquor traffic would be bless
ing to the world

Extravaqance Then and Now

extravaganza Then and Now.
It is very much the fashion to berate
modern woman about her extrava-
gance.
When you can't scold a woman about
anything else, when you have wasted
all your ammunition against freak
fashions and other pet feminine fol-
lies, then it is considered timely to
scold women for the reckless way in
which they spend money nowadays.
And you always add nowadays" just
as if the grandmothers were always
frugal.
The nowadays is rather unfair. 1t
is safe to assert that there have al
ways been feminine spendthrifts as
well as those who were careful and
conscientious in the expenditure of
money.
The wardrobe excuses of Josephine
form appalling reading. with their
hundreds of sets of things, and evil
dence more than anything else the vul-
garity of the parvenu.
Maria Theresa, the second wife OF
Napoleon, on the other hand, conduct
ed her expenditures on moderate lines.
although springing from one of the
most ancient courts of Europe.
Extravaganza is not necessarily an
appanage of rank. 1t is, as a rule, the
outward and visible sign of the man
who has made riches quickly and who
desires that his women folk should
blazon it forth to the world by run
ming through the whole gamut of mod
ern pleasures in the most costly pos
sible way.

Rose Hats For Sprinc,

Some of the new spring hats are al
ready on exhibition in the exclusive
shops, and among them is the flower
hat. Roses of all kinds and sizes seem
to be the most popular flower used.
Some of these roses are made of gros-
grain ribbon with picot edge set off
by leaves and stems of ribbon of the
same Shade as the flower. Large and
small roses are often used on the same
hat. The soft pastel tones of blue, pink
and green bid fair to he favorites. On
some Of the large hats the wreath of
roses Is yelled by malines, and on some
of the models valenciennes lace is
used to set off the beauty of the roses.
Among the small flowers used are the
forgetmenots, lilies of the valley and
heliotrope. One of the handsomest of
the spring models has long wreath of
forgetmenots which are made of old
gold velvet. Rosebuds of pink and blue
chiffon are also used on some Of Inc
advanced models.

Facts About Tobacco.

The historical iconoclast is a busy
man. He keeps men occupied in I'M
learning history they have learned.
Now comes a French writer in O
French paper who says that tobac-
co was used in Europe before the dis
coyery OF America, that the Modes
and Persians smoked tobacco in mar
ghiles ages before the sprouting of
the trees from which the Nina the
Pinta and the Maria Teresa were con-
structed, that tobacco reek was ia
mlllar in the colonies of the Greeks
ana Romans, and that cigars and
cigarettes were in common Use by
natives and aliens in the Indies be-
lore Columbus thought of getting
there by sailing west. The word
cigar is now said to come from an
Arab word, sahara" meaning
smoke.

FIRST OF ALL EVICTICaS.
Magyar Version of the Expulsion From
the Garden of Eden.

Magyar Version of the Expulsion From
the Garden of Eden.
Among the folklore Of the peas
antry of Roumania and some of the
adjoining Magyar states of eastern
Europe is found the story of the ex-
pulsion Of our first parents from
the garden of Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God
sent Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to
turn them out of Eden as a punish
ment for their sin. Gabriel was re-
ceived most courteously, food and
drink of the best being set before
him. Now, Gabriel had a kind heart
and took pity upon the poor folk
and would not accept their hospital
ity, remembering his errand. So he
returned and begged that some one
else be sent to evict the sinners, as
he really could not do it. Then
Raphael, the Roumanian angel, was
sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. He, however, was very
fond of a good dinner, and so he
sat down and thoroughly enjoyed
himself. The feast over, he told the
erring pair his errand. They at
once began to weep most piteously
and beg for mercy. Their bitter sor-
row so touched his after dinner
heart that he, too, returned and
asked that some one else be sent, as
he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hos
pitality. Then it was that Michael,
the German angel, was sent. He
was received as the others by the
trembling pair and treated even
more sumptuously. He sat down
and enjoyed himself till the last
morsel Of food had vanished and
there wasn't a drop of liquor left.
Then he arose and, turning to his
host and hostess, said, 'Now, then,
out you go, and be quick about it."
Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time, even remind
ing him that he had partaken of
their bread. All in vain. Thus it
was that our first parents were
driven out of Eden.

KILLING WITCH GRASS.
Two Ways of Fighting the Pasture
Weed Destinations Is Unusual.

Weed Oescribed-One Is Unusual.
One spring witch grass began to
show in a clover pasture. 1t was
wet season, and we couldn't keep
down. SAYS a Wisconsin correspondent
of the American Cultivator. The next
season l put some ground into CAP
bage, Just a little cabbage along wnere
this duack was, and there is one or the
crops that will help to clean the iahd
by the amount of thorough cultivation
of the ground. l hoed it out all sum
mer long, clear on up to the LIST OF ser
TENDER, and last season | put strip OF
corn again on this same ground IN OF
der to kill the quack out If there was
any left, but 1 failed to ft1d any there
at all. and it was cleaned out just by
working it thoroughly with the cab
bage crop the year previous.
A somewhat unusual method of fight
ing witch grass was described In
Wisconsin farmers meeting. The in
tested land was heavily manfred In
the winter or spring and the manure
narrowed two or three times to work
it down among the roots and stimulate
rapid. growth, which brings the roots
nearer the surface. When the grass
begins to bloom is reckoned as les
weakest stage, when it is most easily
destroyed It Is then plowed under,
using q chain to turn under the tops
and then carefully bury all the grass.
The field Is then narrowed and disk
narrowed, the harrow being set over so
as to slightly loosen the upper soil.
Then buckwheat is narrowed in. two
bushels per acre.
1t was found that the buck A leat will
keep down all the witch grass surviv-
ing, and the little that is left will be
killed if the field is plowed and left in
the furrow over winter. No attempt
is made to harvest the buckwheat. but
the improvement of the soil in the de-
struction of the witch grass is consid-
cred sufficient repayment for the use
Of the land one year. Those who
would be unwilling to give up their
land entirely for a season could plant
q hoed crop even after the witch grass
had bloomed and was turned under.
No doubt a hoed crop would more thor
oughly kill out the grass than any 9TH
er means and would afford some direct
return for the labor.
