Dumb Animals Pay Taxes.

It will be surprising to some people
to learn that all income-tax payers
are not human beings, and that some
of the Canadian governments income
is derived from pet animals whose hui
man owners and benefactOrs provided
for their future comfort by an endow-
ment. Such is the case at London.
Ont, where several such pets are
annual contributors to the city's cof-
fers. One large dog in that city re-
ceives an annual income that many
small families would appreciate, due
to the fact that the animals legacy
was large one and grew from year
to year by the accretionary process.
Gold bonds, deposited in trust, keep
him in comfort and also yield a small
return to the city tax Office in income
levy. A beautiful Persian cat, now
sleepily rounding out life. of adven-
ture, also receives an income left by
an eccentric master. There is a par
rot, too. All these are contributors,
though some one else has to fill out
the tax form for them There are
doubtless many such animals in other
countries

WORLD HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Eiectioneerng Methods in Old Pcmpei
Much Like Those in Vogue in
Our Own Time.

Archeologists have uncovered at
Pompeii a barroOm singularly reminiS-
cent Of the heater sort of drinking
places that were to be found in Ameri-
can cities before the days Of pro-
hibition, and they have found the dried
lees of the liquor in the jars
The outside walls of the saloon are
covered with appeals to the voters
of the city to "Vote for Lollius for
duumvir" The duumvir was a sort
of selectman or half mayor, an official
whose powers or perquisites made the
office one that was much coveted. The
election notices are everywhere to be
found on the walls of Pompeii usually
in red paint, sometimes in black. They
seem to have been the customary
means of notifying the citizens Of
nominations that had been made.
The crafts seem to have acted in
place of party caucuses. "The bar
bers nominate Trebius for aedile," says
one placard "All the goldsmithS
nominate G. Cuspius Pansa for aedile, :"
says another Sometimes man is
referred to as v. b., which means vir
bonus, or a good man. One is certi-
fed as "an honest young man." OF
another it is said that ''he will save
the peoples money"

Meridian of Greenwich.

The meridian of Greenwich is gen
orally accepted as the starting line
from which to reckon longitude and
time all over the earth. But objec-
lions are, from time to time. raised
against the universal adoption of the
Greenwich meridian for such pur-
poses. Recently italian savants have
emphasized these objections by point
ing out that on the meridian of Green
witch clouds and bad weather are fire.
quent, interfering with astronomical
observations. They suggest that the
civilized world should agree to adopt
the meridian of Jerusalem as a COM
mon reference line, because there the
skies are clearer, and the possibility
of making Palestine neutral territory
would eliminate political objections.

ARE SYMBOLS OF AFFECTION
NIcknames Never Bestowed on These
Who Prove Unpopular or Are
UnduIy Dgnified.

The selection of name for the
baby is very important matter iB
most households, and of course it
should be considered sufficiently to in
sure the poor helpless mite of hui
mainly having a label that it viii not
be ashamed to sign the rest Of its life.
Any good plain English name will do
that. But a matter even more impor-
tant and not so easily disposed of is
that of the nickname. What names
will this young person acquire as he
goes through life? That depends
largely on himself and the kind of as
sociates he has. The very last thing
to be wished for him is that he snould
never be niclynamed. Usually the
only people who are never nicknamed
are either very unpopular Or very dig
nified. though there are exceptions.
But the nickname is a sort of express
sion of affection, and those who ac-
cumulate many as they GO through life
should regard them as insignia of
friendship and hence Of honor. The
final word on Dicknames was written
many years ago by Oliver Wendell
Holmes:
When fades at length our lingering day,
Who cares what pompous tombstones
say?
Read on the hearts that love us still,
