Swiss Toy Barometer.

Familiar all over the world is the Swiss toy barometer that gives notice of storm or sunshine by the appear ance of little man or little woman outside of miniotare house. If the prospect be of fair weather, the wom- an comes out; if of storm, the man.
 The toy is really fairly reliable weather prophet. Its mechanism is, of course, extremely simple, the two figures acting in response to the twisting piece of catgut, which con tracts in dry weather and expands when there is moisture in the air, thus turning the little platform on which the manikins stand.

SHEEP HERDING LONELY JOB
Men in Australia Have Strange Ways of Keeping Count of the
 Days.

Each boundary rider on the im- mense sheep ranches of Australia has a district to look after, and he has to keep the wire fences in repair and see that the sheep come to no harm. It is a hard, lonely life, in which the rider rarely sees another human be- ing. Many of the men have strange ways of keeping count of the days.
 One rider named Eagan tried sev- eral plans to keep count of the days, but always failed. At length he hit on novel and attractive method. He made big damper-the name the Australians give to cake of flour and water with seasoning of salt on Sunday and marked it into seven parts. Each section was days a1- lowance, and the slices that remained told him the number Of days9 that must pass before Sunday came again.
 For several weeks this method never day he fell in with fellow rider who was very hungry. Eagan Stinted him. self in order that the ravenous one might be satisfied with that days sec tion of the damper. But it was no use. The host saw the knife cut the boundary line and the hungry rider carve into the almanac. He could stand it no longer.
 "Stop, now, stop" he yelled, as he clutched the remains of the damper md glared at his visitor. ''There," he went on, you've eaten Tuesday and you've eaten Wednesday, and now you want to slice the best of the mornin' off Thursday! NJ. if I can stop it, sonny!

TAXATION BIGGEST
 SUBJECT BEFORE THE CONVENTION

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 13.-After three days debate the constitutional con- vention by a vote of 4 to 30 struck out the section of the article on tax ation, submitted by the committee on labor, which embodied the lad valo- rem and uniform" principle of the old constitution.
 It was admitted, however, by the proponents of the proposed new plan of Segregation and classification that the convention did not thereby declare decisively for the new pro- posal as some of those who voted to strike will demand some radical changes in the new plan proposed by the committee.
 It is probable that the articles on taxation will take up the greater part of next week, as it is admittedly the biggest subject before the convention.
 The fight for the new plan was ably led by Chairman J. D. Head and Henry Rector, while Judge J. H. Evans led the fight, for the retention of the old constitution with some modificaions.
 The argument ragged for three days about the questions of tangible and intangible property, advalomen and uniform assessment, and segregation and classification of property. The proponents of the new plan argue that the plan which has been in ex- istence since 1886 has proven a mon- umental failure, and that the legisla- ture should be left free to adopt such a plan as may appear to be the best after mature deliberation on the part of commission of experts.
