State Airt for Public Schools.
The State Constitution imposes
upon the (ion oral Assembly tho
duty of providing "for tlx' main
tenance and support of a thorough
and sufficient system of public
schools, wherein all the children of
the Commonwealth above the age
of six years may be educated."
To this end it is further provided
that at least one million dollars
each year shall be appropriated for
the purpose out of the State funds.
The General Assembly has of
late years far exceeded the mini
mum of aid for the schools made
imperative by the Constitution.
About six million dollars are now
contributed by the State toward
defraying the expenses of the com
mon school, but this is only about
one-fourth of the aggregate of year
ly expense. About 618,000,000 is
raised by direct local taxation.
The school tax is perhaps the heav
iest direct burden borne by the
taxpayers of the Commonwealth.
The willingness evinced by suc
ceeding Legislatures to shift a
larger and larger proportion of the
burden of school support upon the
general revenues of the State has
been notable. The State revenues
were so excessive that the diversion
was no less feasible than popular.
But appetite grows by what it feeds
upon. Some of the grangers in
Bradford county and other parts
of the State are organizing "Free
School Clubs," whose aim is to
abolish the direct school tax and
put tho whole burden upon the
shoulders of the State.
This scheme is full of taking
possibilities. It would require the
collection pf about $18,000,000 ad
ditional State revenues. The
grangers urge that the corporations
are fat and prosperous, and can
easily be made to come down with
the necessary cash. They take no
note of the fact that the public
service corporations are themseves
experts in theart of taxation. For
every dollar they pay to the State
they are sure to add a dollar, with
use, to the tolls exacted from their
customers. It is the vice of in
direct taxation that, like the vam
pire. it sucks the blood of its vic
tims without their knowledge.
The farmers who shift their burden
upon the corporations will never
suspect the share of it they are
made to pay back. They have
been educated to believe, as a re
sult of the policy adopted by the
State in abolishing direct State
taxes, that they have been relieved
of anv share of the cost of carrying
on the State government. They
are quite logical in desiring an ex
tension of the policy.
This new movement is interest
ing. If it shall gain headway it
will clash with tire other granger
movement to direct about $4,000,-
000 of the State revenue from per
sonal property taxes and licenses
to the County Treasuries. It
would also bo likely to halt the
proposed payment of millions of
dollars to the improvement of the
roads. But sufficient unto the day
is the working out of the tax
problem. It is the riddle of the
ages.—Philadelphia Record.

What is adulterated paint?
Is clay paint? Is chalk paint? Is
barytes paint? Is lime paint? Is benzine?
Is water? Is soap? Is mud?
We know what is; what is not is the
question. Apparently nothing is not;
but we're ouly a paint manufacturer, not
a lawyer.

should be, though it is better than the corres
ponding month last year, except in a few depart

The final reviews are now in progress to be
followed soon by final examinations, and yet
some parents seem indifferent absut the attend

broken on account of sickness. Let all pupils
take advantage of what still remains. A four

from school while it lasts.

I that u mun who stops advertising is

which the forgetting business gets in

Color Schemed 111 IluildlnK.
Strange how little we Americans do
with color. We have a red brick house
or a yellow brick house with a red tile
roof or a green roof, and that's about
the gamut we run. Most beautiful ef
fects can be gained by the use of enam
eled colors even 011 flat surfaces; dainty
patterns can be worked out and bril
liant yet harmonious effects gained.
Our coloring schemes are tame. We
certainly have much to learn in that re
spect from the Persians of old. They
were masters in enamel, and their
work was gorgeous, beautiful. WJtli
us It is lack of taste; It certainly Is not
lack of material. There are American
makers of tile that produce material
equal to that of antiquity, the richest
colors and the most easily adapted
shapes.—Clay Worker.
The Stin PTIIIK Tree.
The stinging tree of Australia some
what resembles a gigantic nettle. It
has an unpleasant odor, and the na
tives and native animals are careful to
avoid it. When a man Is stung by the
tree—or, to put It more prosaically,
pricked by the tree's thorn—the little
wound gives him at first no pain what
ever. But In a few minutes a madden
ing pain is set up; the victim shrieks
and rolls upon the ground. For months
afterward when water touches the
stung part great agony ensues. Dogs
when stung rush about with piteous
whines, biting pieces of flesh from the
place that has been stung.
"Gent."
An early use of this slang expression
Is to be found in some verses—proba
bly by Elkannh Settle—quoted by Wal
ter Thornbury in his "Old > and New
London," from a poem oa tho "Lord
Mayor's Banquet of Sir Samuel Flud
yer," 17<il. and apparently published at
the time:
Where are your eyes and ears?
