the provision of the law to assess
property, the commission says:
"The commission is often asked
if the selling price of a particular
tract of land is a fair valuation of
that tract. The commission does
not hesitate to say that it does not
think this would be a safe general
rule for fixing tax valuations.
knowledge of prices at which
particular tracts have sold is in
formation of value that assessing
officers should have. It is the
best concrete evidence that he can
get. But the selling price of any
one plot of land at a particular
time depends partly upon the
judgment of the buyer; it's gener-
al market value is fixed by the
collective opinions of the many
individuals who make up the
market for that particular parcel
of land, or similar land in the
neighborhood."

The usual insipidity of potato
soup is improved by adding a dash
of vinegar just before serving. AS
all may not like the flavor the
. cruet can be passed.
All furit salads are improved by
marinating In French dressing,
though later served with mayor
naise.
Instead of the individual paste,
it is more popular now to pass one
or two large pates, each guest serv
ing herself. Fill with mushrooms,
oysters or creamed sweetbreads.
Biscuits or French rolls for for
NAL use are more diminutive than
ever. The former should be the
size of a 50-centpiece and a quar-
ter-inch thick.
A delicious salad was made
from different nuts, white grapes,
a little shredded grape fruit,
pineapple cut into cubes and
| shredded celery. Mask in may

dressing.
When a boiled egg is the usual
breakfast dish, vary it by break
ing it raw into the eggcup and
cooking in hot water to the de-
sired consistency. The flavor is
quite different than when cooked
In the shell.
Fingers of bread about four
inches long, quarter of an inch

with boiled eggs.
Salad is now usually passed in

A few weeks ago it looked as
Is there would be war, rebellion

tiles in the camp of the DemocratH
party, by reason of the ambitions
Of certain leaders in the party who
aspired to the high office of United
States Senator, and who represent
ed different factions in the party
in this States. Things were look
ing pretty gloomy. Grim fore
bodings were making anxious the
minds of many good old Demo
Gratis; the various candidates
themselves were experiencing the
first stages of nervous prostra-
tration at the prospect of a three
sided battle, and Republican lead
ers throughout the State were
prancing up and down in an ex-
tatic state under the joyful an
ticipation of mutiny and riot in
the enemy's camp.
But suddenly there comes a
peacefcl hush. Quietude and rest
fulness pervade the camp Of the
Democracy. Relief appears upon
the faces Of gray haired leaders
of the party. The leaders of the
enemy are seized with despond-
ency, and the funeral march takes
the place of their joyful dance,
while the erstwhile candidates
themselves smile up their sleeves
in unfeigned delight that there
was only one man who could ac-
complish this miracle, and his
mathematical position was not in
the well-known triagnle.

fulness? Why the joy here and

terrific wind storm swept over
this section last night, and while
not much damage was done in the
town the gale farther east in the
townships unroofed small build

storms passed through the thinly

reason that no grave harm is re
