These wero frequent occurrences among Italian nobles, nnd to put n stop to them tho clergy Introduced tho loving cup, which had three, handles. Two of these were grasped by tho host, who drank first to Nhow that the liquor was not pois oned, The guest then took the cup by the third, The host released one han dle, tho right still holding one, so that he might help raUe tho cup and Incidentally so that hla right hand might be too busy to draw a sword or dagger. When the guest had drunk, tho host released the cup, which was passed to the next one. The monks In early times named this tho "pocula carltatls," or Cup of Love. It was filled with wlno with a pleco of toast floating therein and circulated from right to loft nround tho table. Hence tho phrasu "drinking n toast."

Wilson, Branson, tWebbcr, Spencer and Kellam were present. The object of the meeting was to try and settle the tax dupli cates of ex-Tax Collector T. E. Boland for the years of '94, '93 and '96. The secretary, as Instructed by the board at tho previous meeting, had seen his attorneys, Messrs. Willard. Warren and Knapp, and read their opinion. It stated that If tho account for the above years remained unpaid It Is the duty of me present school board to take tho matter In hand and settle them. Also, If tho tax collector Is not able to collect the tax from the tax able, then It becomes the duty to re turn the property and that may be sold for the collection of tho tax. The per sonal property of the taxable or tho personal property upon premises Is liable to be distrained for tho pay ment of taxes. It matters not whoso personal property It is, so long as It Is upon tho premises. All this Is set out In the tax collector's warrants and there snoutd be no dlfllculty In the tax collector following the law. If ho will read his warrant he will find ex actly how he Is to collect his tax. The tax collector should collect all the taxee on his duplicate within a year and then these questions about the change of ownership would not occur. Also, that the school board has not the power to compel the auditors to per form their duties. The auditors are In dependent ofllcors and are responsible for tho faithful performance of their duties.

Government Does Not Expect Fur ther Advices for Somo Days. Washington, Jan. 23. At tho state department today It was said that no advices can be expected from Apia be fore tho latter part of next week. That statement is based on the presump tion that the reports will como on the regular line of vessels that travel be tween Auckland and Apia, but there is a possibility of some private sail ing craft making the trip if events of suttlcicnt importance to demand an Im mediate report have occurred there since the last steamship sailed. By Friday or Saturday of thla week the British warship which left Wel lington recently should arrive at Apia, and thus make it possible for one of the two British vessels which will be In the port there to be used for the conveyance of mall advices to Auck land. Exchanges between tho three gov ernments, parties to the treaty of Ber lin, In relation to the uprising in Apia, have been unofficial In character, and have been confined closely to expres sions of a willingness to stand by the terms of the treaty In adjusting the difficulty. With that disposition ex hibited, there Is every reason to be lieve that tho affair will be settled by ordinary methods of diplomacy un less something has happened In the meantime at Apia to aggravate the sit uation.
