Thk trouble with a great -many county politicians is that they aro on tho retired list and don't know It. John J. Ingam-s has Just tost a law suit involving the ownership of a calf. It is ti long-time since life was an iridescent dream to the ex-United States Senator. Senator QUAY ha donled that he advised Cameron to get out of the Senatorial raco. Tho withdrawal, however, has had no apiront evil effects upon the Junior Senator health. Thk Ited Cross 1km been overwhelmed with apiilicatlons from doctors and nurses for tho privilege of going to Armenia and assisting it in Its humano work. There is a heroism which does nut carry guns. It is said that in oarly iife Du Mauricr's gu-atost ambition was to become a water color painter, lie did not then expect that his pencil would niako him juore famous than Ills brush, and his pen do more for him than either. Till; air gun is again getting In its work, and tho only reinarkablo thing about its uso is that more fatal results aro not recorded.

In his annual report Secretary of Internal Afisirs Latta. duals with tho subject of realty assessment in a manner that siiows tho pres ent system to be anything hut just and equitable. Much complaint from the Ine quality of ajwebsed values of real estate as made in Shenandoah for the past several years is apparent, making some pay more than their full share of the county burdwu, while others escape with but paitial payment. The law itself is all right, if honesty admin istered. Secretary Latt shows that tho ratio of real value to assessed value varies from 25 to 75 per eeut. in the various counties of tho state, while the law requires all property to bo assessed on it real value, or what it would bring at a public Hale. But this is disre garded nearly everywhere by the assessors and the county commissioner. In many of the counties, if not in all, the local assessors make the valuation low in order to keep down the amount Jld to tho county, because a high tax rat fur local purposes ou a low valuation does not iucieaw tho amount of the local taxes, as a certain sum of money is re quired fur schools, roads, poor, etc., while a higher valuation at once runs into money for county purposes.

Peculiarities of Each. Tho cat and tho tiger belong practically to the same genus or family. But they vary in habits and natural tendencies. A tiger will spring Upon and destroy a deer. for hours and take delight in destroying vermin. Each organ in tlio human body has its special function or duty to perform and does it, The stomach seises upon our food, digests it, mid so prepares it us to nourish tho various tissues. The kidneys, on the other hand, have. different work to do Like the cat they lie ill wait and seize and throw out from our blood every poison, im purity, and disease germ as fast as the blood passes through them.
