HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May
Be an Inspiration to Future
Generations.

History does not relate for the sake
OF relating; 1t does not paint for the
sake Of painting; it relates and paints
the past that it may be a living lesson
Of the future. 1t proposes to instruct
new generations by the experience of
those who have gone before them, by
exhibiting to them a faithful picture
OF great and important events with
their causes and their effects, with
general designs and particular pas
sions, with the faults and virtues that
are found commingled In human
things. II teaches the excellence Of
prudence, courage, and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. 1t shows the vanity of
fmmoderate pretensions, the power Of
wisdom and virtue, the impotence of
folly and crime. Thucydides, Polybius,
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or a worn threadbare
imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract, but more to
instruct they are the avowed masters
OF statesmen and the preceptors of
mankind.-Victor Cousin.

GROUND UNDER HEAVY TAXES
People in Bible Times Completely at
Mercy of Extortionate Extract 1
ors of Tribute.

People in the Bible times were taxed
heavily. They were on straight levy,
not based on incomes or excess profits.
Payment was compelled and no excuses
made, nor were there any exemptions
to married men or heads of families.
Although there were no army or navy
establishments and no airplane pro-
gram, the people paid their assess
ments In both gold and silver.
King Solomon compelled the Ca
nantes who were left irN the coun-
try to pay him tribute. The rebellion
OF Jeroboam on account of the heavy
taxes levied by Solomon, after
ward growing into the revolt of
the Ten Tribes, was the most pre-
tentious kick against the levy Of the
powers in Bible times. Jeroboam was
at first compelled to take refuge in
Egypt, and it was on account of the
taxes and levies laid by Solomon that
the Israelites said to Rehoboam, the
son of Solomon, upon the latter's
death:
''Thy father made our yokes griev.
Gus; now therefore make thou the
grievous service of thy father and
his heavy yokes which he put upon
MS lighter and we will serve thee"
When Caesar Augustus was in
power and Quirinus was governor Of
Syria, after having just been elected
for third term because he had kept
the Syrians out of war, the first named
issued proclamation signed by his
secretary Of state that the whole world
should be taxed. And all the people
went to their own city to be taxed.
The later editions of the Bible speak
of the act as the people being ZEN
rolled"

For a Headache.

A correspondent recommends the
following simple remedy for headache
sick headache particularly. Cut a
lemon in half and squeeze the juice
into a tumbler. Add few-a very
few grains Of sugar, and fill the glass
nearly three-quarters full of cold wat
er. Now stir in half an eggspoonful
Of ordinary baking soda. This will fizz
up, of course, and the draught must
be swallowed during effervescence.
If one does fails to relieve headache,
repeat it three hours after. Taken
fasting, the first thing in the morning,
1t will do much to settle the stomach
after the sick headache, and probably
prevent its recurrence for some time to
come. This kitchen physic has pre-
vailed when phenacetln and other
nerve-quleters have signally failed to
do so.

Teach Child COURTESY.

Good manners in children as well as
grown people are the expression Of
an innate consideration for the rights,
privileges and opinions of other peo-
pie.
Years of experience have crystal
lized this feeling into certain conven-
tional forms of expression, Which ev-
cry child should be taught. The lit
file habits Of courtesy, which should
be part Of every day life, are really
the outward and visible sign of an
inward grace" Few acquisitions are
more valuable to anyone than that
charm of manner which wins the i'm
mediate regard of everyone with whom
they come into contact.
