Some day, perhaps, we will return to sane methods in the teaching of child? ren. Speed that day. At the present time the little ones are the vi vet i irs cf education gone mad. Their small ?cads are troubled with things beyond tiheir understanding and they are made -to say things like a parrott Fairey a little grammar student Not l(f at? tempting to diagram a sentence taken from a history of mythology! And laney a child of 9 struggling to read ancient history, with all the latter's unpronounceable names! It is ail-ali ?Tong. We are not teaching children in these days. We are simply attack? ing their nervous systems and racking their undeveloped brain.-Indianapo? lis Star. British-income Tax. The income tax was introduced into England.by William Pitt-who other? wise had his points-in 1799 under the stress of the French war. It ceased in 18X&V but was revived bv the das : tardly Sir Robert Peel in 1842, and extended by the iniquitous'Gl?dstone in 1S53- From being a temporary war tax it has now become a perma? nent part of the British financial sys tem, and is resorted to by every chan? cellor who fmds,himself in difficulties. It is not such an inquisitorial tax as you would think, as over half-I nave seen it stated two-thirds-cf the amount collected is not assessed di? rectly on tne^ultimate payers, but at the source of origin. I own stock, let ns say, in a railroad and industrial company. The income tax is assess? ed oil and collected from the railroad company in one sum, and the burden erf it distributed among the stockhold? ers in proportion to their holdings. 35y dividends, that is, reach me "less Income tax." Ia this way evasion is made extremely difficult, the product? ivity of the tax is largey increased, and Its incidence is deprived of that personal element and that direct con? tract between'tbs individual and the tax colecting agency which are nsually reeponsible for the unpopularity of imposts. On the whole, it is proba? bly true to say that in no other way can the srea?th derived from property and investments be so adequately, so regularly, and so equally laid under contribution.-Sidney Brooks in Har? per's Weekiy.

Judge Pritchard Dismisses Con tempt Proceedings and the Ed itor Receives Congratulations. Raleigh, N. C., June 3.-The con tempt proceedings of Federal Judge Pnrnell against Editor Josephus Dan iels of The News and Observer, who has been in custody since Monday for refusal to pay a $2,000 fine, were dis missed today and Mr. Daniels was re leased. The habeas corpus writ was heard by Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, the new justice of the fourth district, who came fcom Washington for that pur pose. United States Marshal H. C. Dockery brought Mr. Daniels into court at 3 o'clock. A great crowd was present to\hear the case. Justice Pritchard sat alone, though this week the federral court is in ses sion and Judge Purnell is on hand. Argument was made for Mr. Daniels by ex-Judge R. W. Winston and by instructions of Judge Pritchard Dis trict Attorney Skinner represented Judge Purnell. After argument Ju3ge Pritchard dis missed the case and released Mr. Dan iels, saying that he failed to find any thing in section 725, revised United States statutes, to warrant the action and hence he ordered the respondent dismissed. Mr. Daniels was fined by Judge Purnell for editorially criticising the judge for his action in appointing re- j ceivers for the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad. The appointment of the receivers was overruled by Chief Justice Fuller and now Judge Pritch ard has released Mr. Daniels. Telegrams ' of congratulations are pouring in on Mr. Daniels. SUS H8S OF RED' HTS. Several Hundred Acres of Cotton Land* Cleared of Boll Weevils. San Antonio, Tex., June 2.-Jose Cassia.no, "former county collector, who has several hundred acres of cot ton in this county, is the bearer of good tidings concerning the work of red ants.' Mr. Cassiano's fields, less than a month ago, were alive with boll weevils. Today he said there is not a live weevil in his fields. The rows are strewn with dead weevils, which the busy little red ants are car rying away by thousands. Mr. Cassi ano says a close inspection failed to show a single live weevil on a cotton plant anywhere an his fields. The ants are on the plants-and the rows between in. countless thousands. They seem to have completed the slaughter of the weevils and are now engaged in carrying the corpses away, probably, to be stored for feed.

Eight Bottles Completely Cured ne"-Says Mrs, fi. C. Allington, Nashua, N. fi. "My life has been saved by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey; my old ago comforted and made happy.

I have used it as a medicine for many years and will continue to recommend it; tb all suffering from consumption a>id throat troubles. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey actually cures consumption; my own case is a living evidence of the fact. " I am ia my 70th year, and in rugged health. A number of years ago I had three severe attacks of grip, the last one being followed by pneumonia. I was left with a bad cough and severe hemorrhages of the lungs. The doctoro did not help me and I was in despair because consumption was, upon me. I tried cough medicines and so-called consumption cures without benefit and was nearing my end. when a good neighbor brought me a bottle of DufiVs Pure Malt Whiskey. It helped me from tho first and I began to mend. Eight bottles com? pletely cured me. "I always keep a bottle of Duffy's in tho house and when I feel the least badly I take it according to direction. It keeps me weil and hearty. " Mrs. H. C. ALLINGTOX . 74 Amherst St., Nashua, 2s. H.
