WILL NOT USE GERMAN DYES
Real Reason Why the Red Trousers
of the French Infantryman
Have Been Discarded.

The red trousers of the French army
are to be no more. There is political
and economical tragedy about it with
which very few people are familiar.
The originator of the red trousers was
Napoleon, who was prompted in his
reform" by desire to help the ma
tive cultivation Of madden root against
the Dutch and Italian rivals.
But then came the Graebe-Lieber-
mann discovery of the alizarine dyes,
and in less than ten years, between
1870 and 1878. the production of mad
der root in France shrank from $4,000
to 500 tons, and then it disappeared.
This was a great German victory. New
ertheless, the army trousers continued
to be dyed red, only this time the dyes
had to be imported from Germany.
It evidently required a great war to
put an end to this humiliation.

Farmer in Patterson Township, Dur

Assessment Was not Too High.

Durham.-The life of the assessors
is not always assessing. It is calcu-
lated to spring surprises, as in the
case of Robert Hopson, in Patterson
township, which occurred in the past
few days. Spence Suit and Gene
Shepherd, townships assessors of real
estate, were in Paterson township,
and assessed Mr.. Robert HOpson's
farm of As acres at $500. Mr.. Hopson
objected to the figures in emphatic
words, and said he would sell his
farm at that price, and consider that
he got good price for it. The two
assessors took him at his word, and
took his farm right there and then.
Before the deed could be made out in
their names they sold the place for
the sum of $4,000. Mr.. Hopson made
the deed to the party to whom the
assessors sold the place. Not every
time is a mans property assessed too
high.
