 Cites Ten Reasons for Action.
 Gov. Donaghey cites ten instances which led him to strike a blow at the convict lease system The firm is a case in which two negroes were sen fenced to serve 36 and IS years, re spectively, for forging orders for IS quarts of whisky. Another cites an Instance in which a young white boy was compelled to work in the hot sun while he had burning fever on him, with the result that he died.
 In conclusion the governor said:
 My principal reason for discharg- Ing the large number at this time is to break up forever the convict lease system in Arkansas, I would be un- true to my convictions and. as see 1t, untrue to the states best interests, If did not do everything in my power to bring about this result"

Things Soft.

There are many things, such "A

or things that can be boiled soft, and
one OF them Is the potato.
The potato belongs to a class Of
foods called starchy. because 1t is al
most entirely composed of grains of
starch. These grains are contained in
stiff woody sort of covering, which
will not expand. as it is not elastic. II
the potato were left in the ground, it
would need this starch for its future
existence. but when 1t Is dug I'D and
boiled something happens to the
starch
The hot water soaks through the
hard woody covering and gets to the
grains of starch. which Immediately
begin to expand, and as the hard Gov
ering cannot expand with 1t, there ia
nothing for 1t but to burst, and by
the time all the hard part of the potato
has been broken up in this way and a
quantity Of water has been absorbed

Taxes That Never End.

The surprising fact Is announced
that the London city corporation is
still paying land tax for the houses
which existed ON Old London bridge,
houses that disappeared about the
year 1855.
1t has at last been decided to re-
deem this ancient tax, which by act
OF parliament has been levied ever
since the old bridge was demolished.
A copy Of the old act Is in the city
archives The amount of the land tax
is about $500 year, and the city
will be able. to secure a redemption
by payment OF lump sum Of $4,000
or SO.
1t may seem strange that rates and
taxes have been paid for so many
years upon houses which disappeared
so long ago, but 1t is not generally
known that II. Is the custom when
houses are demolished to make way
for public improvements to include In
the parliamentary authorization a
clause compelling the authority con-
cerned to make good any loss occa-

Greater London.

A description Of London as a mu
nicipality is found in a report which
has been sent to the department of
commerce and labor by United States
Consul General John L. Griffiths, sta
toned at the British capital.
Instead of having one mayor and
several borough heads as New York
has, Mr.. Griffiths points out that from
a governmental point of view London
is very complex organization, con-
sisting of 20 cities and boroughs, all
with separate administrations. Each
has Its own mayor and council, there
being, however, an authority whose
jurisprudence Is co-extensive with
what is known as the administrative
County of London, called the London
county council.

OaffodiI Poison,

The poison of the daffodil is the
plants means of defense. How effec-
tive 1t is may be judged by the fact
that rabbits, rats and other small pests
which devour hyancinths and crocuses
with gusto, leave the daffodil severely
alone. Nurserymen, too, will tell you
that the men employed in gathering
Lent lilies suffer from poisoned hands.
After working little while their
