A Government to Kick About ' I “We kick about our own govern- ( ment,” said a reformer, “and it is doubtless pretty bad, but what would we think if it took the taxpayers’ money to pay every year a pension of $50,000 to the Goulds, another of $75,000 to the Astors and another still of $25,000 to the Vanderbilts? That is what goes on in England. The English doctor, the English druggist, the English carpenter, all sorts of hardworking Englishmen, are taxed S2OO or S3OO a year, and the money goes to pay the huge pension of some d.ucal loafer who is already too rich. Charles 11., for Instance, granted an eternal pension of $95,000 a year to the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. In all the years since Charles ll.'s time that pension has been paid out of the taxpayer*' pockets. To this day it is paid. The present Duke of Richmond and Gordon settles for his dinners at the Ritz in London or at Giro’s In Monte Carlo with money earned by English butchers. bricklayers and blacksmiths.”—Exchange. The Lion’s Mouth. The use of the lion's mouth as the vent of a fountain is so common that it cannot be regarded as accidental. As a matter of fact the custom (like so many customs—not forgetting the fountain pen) came from Egypt, which adopted It because the annual inundation of the Nile takes place when the sun is in the constellation Leo—the lion. The allusion is too obvious to need pointing out. The oldest fixed date (4241 B. C.) can be traced to Egypt where the calendar was introduced in the middle of the forty-third century. And the history of modern shipbuilding began in Egypt, where it can be traced to about 3000 B. C. The most recent discoveries give to the land of Egypt a clean run of about 11.000 years without any admixture of foreign races. “Egypt, land of hidden mysteries' great mother of science and art. what thinking mind has not dreamed of thee!”—New York Press. Husband Would Settle. | From India conies a story of the discomfiture of a very distinguished soldier. It happened at a big dinner, where he had taken in a pretty American globe trotter, who asked him to pass a dish of almonds and raisins. “With pleasure,” replied the gallant son of Mars, “but do you know that what you have asked for is called in the vernacular klssmlss and that the penalty of a kiss attaches to the request?” “Is that so?” answered the woman calmly. “I must consult my husband,” and she called across the table to him and told him of the request. “Quite so,” he replied, "according to the custom of the country it is a just debt and must be paid, but is the gen eral aware of the arrangement made when we married that I must settle all my wife's liabilities?” Submerged Aristocrat*. Some curious letters are quoted by Mr. Percival Bickerstaffe the pedigree searcher, in an interview with a representative of the London Tribune. One runs: “I am a plumber and gasfiter out of work. My stummick is empty, but in my art is the bind of noble burth. * • • I claim the family title and tenements which 1 will not be denyed the same.” A city clerk wrote: “I have long suspected that I am of high birth. People tell me that I have manners above my station of life. My photograph herewith shows that I have an aristocratic cast of face and will perhaps be a clew to my ancestry. I do not ask for fortune, but I aspire to the pride of race.” Beans to Separate Bone*. Anatomists, when they wish to separate the bones of a skull, sometimes resort to a very peculiar procedure. They fill the skull with small beans and place it In a vessel of water. The beans swell and rend the skull apart at the sutures. The well known German physiologist, Grehaut, measured the force which the beans are capable of exerting under these conditions and found that it indicated five atmospheres, equal to the average pressure

in the Doner or a steam engine. Put on More Than the Saddle. A cookery teacher was giving a lesson to a class of children and questioning them on the joints of mutton. The neck, shoulder, leg and loin had been mentioned. “Now,” said the teacher, “there is another joint no one has mentioned. Come, Mary, I know your father is a groom; what does he often put on a horse?” “A dollar each way, miss,” was the unexpected answer. — Cassell’s Saturday Journal. — Not a Dog. Old Lady (to chemist)—l want a box of canine pills. Chemist—What's the i matter with the dog? Old Lady (indignantly)—l want you to understand, sir. that my husband is a gentleman. (In profound silence the chemist put up some quinine pills.)—London Queen. His Name. “Who is that long haired fellow?” “Uriah Rembrandt Peiggs. He’s making quite a name for himself.” “I should think he would. If my parents bad given me a name like his I’d have started to make one for myself at once.” A Good Example. Father — Why did you run away. | Franz? Franz—Because mamma was 'so unkind. Father—That is no reason. I Do I run away?—Wiener Caricaturen. The Universal Tyrant. •| Everybody condemns the silk hat.

A City of Caravan*. The first of November is the official beginning of winter in Paris. Then, no matter what the temperature be, fires are lit in the schools and public buildings, and the janitor turns on the heat for the sad race of flat dwellers. Then all the smaller shows which cannot pay for a “stand" in the streets or squares go into winter quarters. Where? I found a city of them out in the waste lauds by the great gate of Montrouge. In an empty lot were scores of caravans drawn up behind the wooden palisades, ranged so as to form veritable streets, named after this showman or that. Dogs, chickens, rabbits, children, swarmed everywhere. Corkscrews of smoke rose from the chimneys of the wagons. Gaudy rags were drying on lines. Will you look in one of the vans? It has two rooms. In one are the beds. The other is for eating. On all sides the walls are lined with closets and drawers. A little stove glows near the door. Here they are born, here they live and die, the enternal dynasties of the voyagers.—Vance Thompson in Outing Magazine. The Truly Beautiful. There is, it has been said, no fixed standard of art criticism. What is lauded today is discarded tomorrow, and even connoisseurs disagree bewiiderlngly; but, glancing back over the ages, it will be found that the discord has been caused by technical divergence and that in every land and among all peoples the truly beautiful has been generally recognized and correctly esteemed. No one questions today the beauty of the Greek temple or the charm of the Babylonian pottery. It does not require trained eyes to recognize the merit of an oriental flower painting or to find delight in one of Whistler’s nocturnes. The fundamentals in each instance are the same—rhythmical line, fair proportions and harmonious coloring. We have to be led ofttimes up the ascent of art, and there is much discussion concerning the byways, but once on the height all dissension ends, and we no longer need a guide.—Leila Mechlin in Century. Dryden** Rime. The story is told that Dryden, finishing his translation of “Virgil.” sent it to Jacob Tonson for publication for a sum specified upon the manuscript. Tonson was desirous of obtaining the book, but determined to take advantage of Dryden's need of money. He therefore informed the poet that he could not pay the sum Dryden asked. In reply Dryden sent the following lines in description of tbe publisher: With leering look, bull faced and freckled fair. With two left legs, with Judas colored hair And frowzy pores that taint the ambient air. When this was delivered to Tonson he asked if Dryden had said anything more. “Yes.” replied the bearer, “he said to tell the dog that he who wrote these lines could write more i ke them.'’’ Tonson sent the money at once. Crocodile, and the Core. One does not usually connect crocodiles with a health resort—rather the reverse—but the creatures are quite a feature of the Indian bathing place of Manghapir, about nine miles from Karachi. Tills town Is a place of pilgrimage for pious Hindoos, but it Is chiefly famous for the value of its waters in the cure of the dread scourge of leprosy. The waters are hot. and more than 60 per cent of the sufferers who bathe there annually, it is said, are cured. The crocodiles are rather noteworthy in that they live In the hot water, apparently suffering no inconvenience from its temperature or medicinal qualities.—Wide World Magazine.

Terror Blnnches Hair. It has been repeatedly affirmed that Queen Marie Antoinette’s auburn hair turned white in the days of the reign of terror, says the Caledonian, and an English surgeon named Parry states that just after the Indian mutiny he actually saw the jet black hair of a rebel Sepoy, who was under examination. and feared a dreadful death, turn white in the course of half an hour. In the time of the commune in Paris the dark hair of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild was blanched tn a few hours. I ______ Holding Him <WT. "The head of the firm,” said the superintendent, "insists upon our employing his son in this department, and it’s much as we can do to keep him .file” "Idle! You mean busy, don't you?" “No, 1 don't. If we kept him busy it would keep three or four other men busy correcting his mistakes.’’—Philadelphia Press. Why He Quit. “For the drunkard and the glutton shall eome to poverty.” “I figured out years ago.” said a prosperous farmer, “that with very moderate drinking I’d drink an acre of good land every year. So I quit.”—Central Christian Advocate. A Stronsr Man. Daughter—Wasn’t Julius Caesar one of the strongest men that ever lived, pa? Father—What makes you ask that question, my little girl? Daughter—l was just reading that he threw a bridge over the Rhine. Belated TeatitnoniaSe. If the testimonials of love and faith on our tombstones were uttered in our daily life, how often would they have helped us over the briery fields and rocky roads of existence!—Baltimore American. Speaking of signs, when you wake up and find a burglar In the bouse it is * sign that unexpected company has arrived—Pittsburg Gazette Times. } - -.-naß

Important Notice to Taxpayer*. May 6, 1907, is the last day for paying the spring installment of taxes. Unless paid at said date a penalty of 10 per cent will be added, according to instructions from the state auditor, I am compelled to obey the law to the letter. It is impossible for me to grant any favors. I trust all taxpayers will remember this and settle on or before May 6, and avoid paying penalty. Yours very truly, J. F. LACHOT, 86-lmo.
