The Mongolian in his diet is greatly diff
ferent from the Chinaman, and consider
ing the high prices OF meat, it is fortu-
nate for him that he does not live in this
country. An American traveller reports
that a Mongol often consumes 10 pounds
of meat at sitting and puts mutton
no unusual amount.

While the income tax is not a new
idea the manner of rating the liability
of the individual 20 pay such a tax was
a century ago quite at variance with
the method now obtaining. In those good
old days the style in which a man lived
was the criterion and that style was
measured by the class of carriage that
he owned and The number of horses
that drew it. This standard was in vogue
in some of our states and was copied
from the laws Of England. However,
in England the style of the mansion usu-
ally measured the aristocrat and the tax
rate was determined by the number of
hearths or window panes that the man.
sion contained. The taxing of windows
is In vogue in Paris at the present day
and it is now a question as to which
would yield the greater revenue, a tax
upon windows or a poll tax.

offered a title of duke while a refugee
in Mexico, which honor he declined to
accept. At the close of the war between
the states Harris, who was Confederate
governor of his state, fled across the
Rio Grande, carrying with him on pack
mules $500,000 in specie. Here he re-
mained for a year and, although he de-
clined the proffered dukedom. the Mex
leans always accorded him that title.

the amount was missing. Official hon

Grant colleges. was observed by
the faculty and students of the
State College as agricultural day.
All other exercises Of the college
were dispensed with and the en-
tire force of workers assembled
in the chapel and devoted the
time to discussions of problems
affecting rural and city life in
the various sections of the State
represented. Special addresses
were made by designated men,
bers Of the faculty and interest
ing papers were read by students
assigned to this feature Of the
conference. The day was most
interestingly and proftably spent
and has doubtless inspired many
ideas of community Improvement
among all attendants. The day
will be an annual observance in
the future life of the college.
It is a notable fact that of the
887 students enrolled in the insti-
tuition this session, 697 came
from farms. This shows that
our people are lining up strong
on agricultural education. The
other trades and occupations of
industrial life are also we'll rep
resented. The students have
come from six states aside from
South Carolina, North Carolina,
Georgia and Florida are we'll
represented.

teachers will begin this year
