France has been one of the foremost European coun tries In reforestation, especially In tho mountains, where planting has been a powerful factor In controll ing torrents and regulating stream flow. The Btate each year buys uncultivated lands, In the mountain regions, and up to January, 1007, it bad acquired 603 . 00 acres In this way. Communes, associations and prt nto Individuals aro also assisted In reforestation work by grants of money and by supplies of plants and seeds.. Altogether 249,000 acres have been planted through this public assistance. Complete exemption from taxation for a lory? period of years Is granted In the case of plantations made on the tops and slopes of mountains.

Mr. Jenks, who lately told thu tale to a wrltor In tho Atlantic Month ly, had to wait by a certain pond for tho turtlca to como out and lay thulr eggs In the sand.

"So and Bo's grnvo" has been, tlmo out ot mind, a favorite name for somo bunker of par ticularly Infamous reputation In this country, but It has nover borno so literal a meaning ns It might In China, says a writer In Fry's Magazine. At to tho Chinese caddlo, the China man, wo are told, docs not under stand golf at all. Perhaps he sees a Kama In Its proper light, two middle aged persons becoming absurdly heat ed over a trumpery little ball. At any rate, his ono aim Is to got dono with tho round and receive his fee, and ha patiently Inquires of his employer at Intervals how long ho proposes to fol low the llttlo white ball. Tho golf courso at Pcktn Is also on a flat piano and, as Tientsin, the plain la muddy. It lies close to the Antung gate and to got there from the Euro pean quarter necessitates a long and dusty Journey by pony or rickshaw.

Thus the character ot the course chauges from day to day In a way cal culated to dispel monotony and a goiter who has carefully placed his tee shot In such a way ns to get a clear run up to tho hole tlnds himself confronted Instead with a most dim cult pitch over cabbages. The difficulties ot the situation are enhanced at Pekln by the tact that the golfer Is only allowed to play on condition that ho does not disturb the cabbage patches. "Golf Is not agricul ture," so It has been written ot those who tear vast and hideous divots from shrinking turf, It Is held to ba true at Pekln and tho native agricultural ist will have the law on you If you Interfere with the fruits of his Indus try, Cabbago patches are strictly out of bounds. Otbor hazards of a less transitory character aro camel roads, which tra verse tho links from the mountains. Along theso roads there come, In ad dition to camels, great drove of po ntes, which the Mongolian! bring down to sell In Pekln.

I) LEGAL IKFORMATION 1 1 An act was patted in Alabama which orohlblted talt of certain nonlntoxl eating llquort at any plact wtiore tho sale of spirituous, vinous, or malt liq uors wat forbidden by law. In Elder vs. State, 60 Southern Reporter, 370, It was urged that the legislature had no power to prohibit the sale ot articles not Injurious to cither the health or tho morals of the people, and that such a statute was ah unwarranted Invasion of the rlghtt ot the citizen. On tho other hand, It was asserted that In order more thoroughly to prohibit the sate ot malt liquor, known to be an Intoxicant, and to safeguard against evasions ot auch law, tho atato had power to prohibit the sale ot any bovor agea containing tho Ingredient ot malt liquors. The Alabama Supreme court hold the act unconstitutional, conclud lng that these drastic prohibitory laws are doubtlosa Intended tor the moral benefit and elovatlon of mankind; but their aioral purposo or beneficent ro suits mutt not be considered to save1 them, when thoy Invado the sanctity of tho constitutional rights of our citi zens.

Tho dt- murror to tht declaration was ovor ruled. Tho Supremo court of South Carolina waa called upon to determino me vanu Ity of a atatute of that state providing taxation of Insuranco companies, in New York Life Insurance Co. vt. Drad ley, 65 Southeastern Reporter, 433. Dy section 1808 of tho South Carolina Code of 1903, Insuranco companies art required (1) to pay a license fet of $100; (3) to make a quarterly rtturn of their gross premiums; (3) to pay quarterly an additional graduate 1! const fet to the ttate treasurer of one- half ot 1 per cent on gross prtmlums. Dy section 1809 tht comptroller gener al Is required to transmit to tht county auditor In each ot the various countlta a statement of the amount ot prem iums or receipts collocted thoreln dur ing the preceding year from tht dlf forent Insurance companies, and such statement Is directed to be placed on the tax duplicate, together .with other Itemt of taxable property owned by tho companies. Procoodlng under this last provision, a tax amounting to $171.35 was paid under protest by the New York Lite Insuranco Company to tin treasurer ot Abbevlllo county, and pro cecdlngs thereafter Instituted for iti recovery. It was contended that thu tax was simply Imposed as a condition to the right ot plaintiff, a foreign in surance company, to do business in tho state. The court tield, however, that It was a property tax, and as It was not restricted to property or money ot tho Insurance company within the state at tho time ot assessment, but covered Its grots receipt! for tht entire year, It was Invalid at constituting a taking ot property without dut process ot law, Batter Than CUIden Kn. Recently a ben wat exhibited at Wllketbarre, Pa., and took all tht prtzea at tho beat of her kind. So Im portant did the' grow In tht estlma tlon of tho holdera that her owner was offered $10,000 for her, but re fused It. At about tblt time the ben laid an egg and, that it might be evi dent that the wat a producer at well as a show bird, ber owner allowed the product ot her labor to remain In the pen with her. This waa a tactical blunder, tor the egg waa purloined shortly and has not been seen since. Now there Is a well known story to the effect that a goose of tha dim and distant nast once laid a aolden egg. Taking It that the historian was sure of his facts, this goose of fame has no such claim upon renown as has tho Wllketbarre hen, Here Is a bag of gold containing $10,000 In the treas ury at Washington which visitors are allowed to lift to get an Idea of Just how heavy that much money Is. It wolghs something like thirty pounds. Now, If the egg ot tblt hen, with tht prospect of being hatched Into a creaturo at valuable, at the parent, la estimated as being worth one-tenth as much as she It, tht stolen tgg would be worth $1,000 which amount ot money would weigh three pounds or aa much aa two dozen eggt. So the egg of the Pennsylvania hen la worth 24 times aa much aa the greatly- touted goose egg and deserve fame In accordance. ADVICE fO M1KV0U8 JatAV.
