vides for a cruise of the timber we will be as much in the

to arbitrarily raise the values, and then the owners of tim

county court sitting as such aud present proof to show that
they have been unjuuly dealt with. In counties where a
cruise has been made the first year's assessment has more
than paid in increased valuation the cost of the cruise. It

gone the value will b.: reduced to comparatively nothing.
Men are making forttt: es out of it; and while it is true that
they arc giving employment to l tbor, there is no good reason
why they should be permitted to escape their just share of
the burden of taxation. This is a good subject for dispassion
ate discussion by the Grange, and let it be remembered that j
that ti,osc wh0 are demanding equity should be willing to
o i j t
j do equity. There are some farmers and business men
w ho are very anxious to sec
value but who never fail to insist upon a minimum valuation
of their own property. Fanners can afford to pay their full
share of the taxes provided railroads and timber men are
compelled to do the same. Give us the limit, tut see that it
is honestly aud intelligently expended upon roads, bridges

BURNING IN EFFIGY.
A Custom Horn of the Superstltlaai
of the Aaeient.
The burning of people In effigy baa
come from a fojMsh superstition of the
ancieuts, who liel'eved that by buru
iiig a likeness of a person they were
iutlicting pain upon the Individual him
self. Theocritus tells us that the Greek
sorcerers killed tlieir enemies by magic
rites performed over the etfigy of the
persou who had ofieuded them, aud
Virgil also makes mention of this.
In the days of witchcraft and perse
cution one of the most common charges
against witches was that they made
waxen images of their enemies which
they melted before a fire ami thus
caused the dissolution of the originals.
The Japanese still regard the effigy
as a means of punishment of faithlesa
lovers, aud in France to tho time of
the first revolution execution by effigy
was a legal rite. In the Netherlands
tho same illogical custom prevailed,
ami the different religious burned the
elligies of each other's Icadeua with
zeal. Iu England the burniug of ef
figies was also practiced, as it was
later iu America.
No doubt from the ancient custom of
burniug the etligy arose tho idea of
placing tho wax figures of em incut men
In Westminster abbey. Iu oldeu times
upon the death of a celebrity a waxen
figure representing him fully dressed
as iu life was made uud carried in the
roar of the funeral procession. After
the service the clllgy was set up iu the
church as a temporary monument, and,
during the time it was ou exhibition it
was customary to paste or phi pieces
of paper containing couiplluieutary
epitaphs upon it. The royal figures Iu
Westminster abbey date back to the
fourteenth century. New York Trib
une. Stanley the Explorer.
Although the fever of African ex
ploration did not seize upon Henry M.
Stanley until after he found Living
stone, when the example set by the
latter fired the Welshman's ambitions,
there can be little doubt that Stanley
was a born explorer. Otherwise he
would scarcely have been able to ac
complish thoso arduous Journeys which
enabled him to fill up an enormous
blank In the map o( Africa. Stanley's
discoveries were of the greatest po
litical importance and led to the found
ing, among other thlugs, of what Is
now the Kongo Free State. His ulti
mate discovery of Em In Pasha furnish

Considerable amusement was
caused by a slip of Emperor Nichols)

-companies of Siberian nillltia who vol
unteered for service at the front. Th

majesty's feet our desire to b por
mitted to fight and die for the father

on the margin of the petition In bis
