The basis for the lax assessment in this conDty, as fixed nine year agn hen the assessment was raised S5S 3fiS im thinl t me lull value, but gradually through A p?aln. Adjustments, Increased cost of building eta. it has been dropped In nine sections to less than one third value; this was particularly true in Orcene township at the triennial as- scsntneot three years ago, when tbe asetment on all buildings In that township was increased. The action of the board of revision for the present triennial ar in adopting and acting on the following resolution: 'Wherean believing that Buddings Houses, jBarns, etc., as assessed and rated by the assessor, for the year 1910, in Matainoras Borongh, are rated and aasesejd to at least 10 per cent lower value than like Buildings, Il'iusea. Barns, etc, in Milford Bora and the various townships of tbe county, therefore be it Resolved: That the valuations on all Buildings, Barns, Houses, etc, In Mstamuras Borough, aa returned by I he assessor for-1910, be and are here of increased ten per centum (10).") is meeting with tnuoh adverse crit icism, which it weald seem, is not eostained by the facta. Below are given some figures taken from tbe as sesvinent of Matamoras Boro, at ran dom, after tho 10 per cent bad keen added; and anyone at all conversent with vuluen; or that has gone through ttieordedl ol bailding, will rapidly see that in most instances these prop, erile are still, rated low, and but few rated hiph in comparison with like properties elsewhere in the coun T.

Isty-elx Nalla, Also Wlrs and Fine Woven Inta It "la the Argentina Republic" ears writer in the Strand, "where the summers are loos and hot. It Is custo mary to leave the windows open both day and night during ths hottest part of the ysar. A bird, taking advantage of this, proceeded to build a neat In my room, fixing It firmly to one of the Venetian blinds over the window. The eggs were hatched and the young birds fledged. On taking down) the empty nest I found It to be practically armorclad, tbe outer part being composed almost entirely of old rusty nails woven in among the bay. On counting the nails found that no fewer than sixty-six had been used, beside some wire and pins taken from my dressing table. The bird waa about the slie of a robin and very tame." " ' Iver Increasing Beggars of Bombay. The nuisance caused by beggars In Bombay has assumed unbearable pro portions. The Orientals practice charity aa a religious obligation and relieve poverty where tber find It. Recitals from Keblt and Marshal nev er fall to touch the. Innermost chords of the natives with their Innate rev erence for aplrltuallsm, and the fakir backs up his appeal for alms with pro fuse quotations from ths poets. Then there are Imj beggars and rellgloua beggars, the ash besmeared ascetics wbo practice mendicancy aa a heredi tary profession. Last and not least are unfortunate sufferers whom the loss of limbs or eyes or some fell dls- disables for work and drives them to beggary aa tbe last resource. These latter have a genulns claim on our charity, but aa there are ao few asy lums In India for the halt, the malm and the blind the streets and byways of towns are flooded with beggara, piti ful typea of suffering humanity. from ths Raab Orafler. His Simple Statement. fanny Kemble. the famous actress, is a warm supporter of "Women's Rlgbta," and ene evening at dinner she waa seated next "Poodle Bync." well-knewn man about f town. The conversation . turned on "woman's rights." and Fanny Kemble expressed her views with so much vehemence that Mr. Byng took refuge In polite silence. After finishing a brilliant tirade, shs turned to ber neighbor and asked his opinion. "Poodle Byng" looked at her with a half smile, and answered her In ftve words; "I don't agree with you!" --J. A Boomerang. At a small country boarding-house sort "down In ole Vlrgtnie," this past summer, the girls decided to give a dance In the town hall on the mutual benefit plan, so to speak. Half of the expeasea of the hall, music and re- freahmenta. It waa planned, should be borne by them and the other half by the men. ' The fair chairman of the refreshment committee, la exhorting the prospective dancers to maks no mistake in the details agreed upon. wrote: "The girls wUl furnish the sugar 4 the men will bring the lemons." CofTtne Mads of Paper. Borne undertakers, whose custom ers are poor people, are using coffins made of paper. Tbe coffins are made In sH stylee of pressed paper pulp.

A Convsnlent Arrsngsmsnt for Giving Early and Often. A custom among attendants of the Greek Church st Treblsond explains the use of certain tokens which have been presented to tbe American Nu mismatic Society In this clly. According to tbe Journal of tbe so ciety sometimes several collections are made during the service in these churches. Even should there be but one, the visitor may desire to make a apeclal contribution at the sbrlne or picture of some of the sainta whose Impression be desires to secure, or be may wish to purchase a candle for use In some of the ceremonials In public or private devotions. On entering the church, therefore. be exchangee a certain sum of monry with the deacon at the gate tor an equivalent amount of these tokens. He ts thus able to respond to the calls for the various offerings during the ser vice or to deposit his gift at tbe shr'ne of the saint by using one or more of these tokens as he may be disposed, yet without any heavy demand on his purse. These church tokens are sometimes of brsss and sometimes if paper. Value of "6tooplng." Always be civil. Try to treat rich and poor alike. la not tbe poor man's 29 shillings aa good as the rich mr.n's pound? The working men's w'fe. with her basket on her arm, says Sir Thomas Lip ton In the Strand, is en titled to as much respect aa the lady who comes In her carriage. When Benjamin Franklin waa ambassador at the French court, speaking to a young man, he said: "Tbe last time I saw poor father he received me In his study. As I was leaving be showed me a short way out of the house through a narrow passage crossed by j a beam overhead. Suddenly he cried: i Stoop! Stoop!' I did not understand ! what be meant until I felt my bead ! bump against tbe beam. He was s man who never failed to give good id- vice. 'You are goln,' be said, 'and have got to go through tbe world. Stoop as you go through It, and vou will miss many bard thumps.' " I have never failed to be Impressed by this lesson of humility. Results Becoming Msnifest.

First Love. It Is a popular fallacy that tbe first love Is ths true one, unique In Its ex cellence, says an exchange. As well say that the first picture of a painter Is the best of all he will paint In tbe course of his life; that tbe first speech. the first book, the first statue, the first composition, will be tbe best of the statesmen, novelist, sculptor or musi cian, aa tbe case may be. First woiks have all tbe Imperfections of uncer tainty, of Inexperience and Ignorance. And It la rather by chance than by anything Inherent In the nature of Cupid's ways that the first love turns nt In be the great one. Origin of Pasquinades. Pasquinades Is a term frequently applied to anonymoua publlcatloaa of a satiric or libellous nature, some times written and soiretlmes printed.
