istratrix, contends that the Santa Clara
courts have no jurisdiction in the mat
ter, and a petition has been filed in the
local court to oll'set that claim. The act
creating the tax is almost a fac-simile of

two policies of $1,000 each, giving two
notes in payment of the first premium.
Later on Urifliths told the local agent he
could not pay one of the notes at matu
rity, and one policy was canceled. Grif
fiths was accidentally killed before the
Becond note matured. The company re
fused to pay the amount of the policy on

suit, secured judgment, and on appeal
the judgment is affirmed. .

Carolina, growing out of the conflict be
tween the State authorities and the Fed
eral Courts over the collection of taxes

taxes assessed by State,, county or mu
nicipal authorities against corporate
property snail not be claused as debts,
to be passed upon in the first instance
by any United States Court, but shall
be collectable by the proper local au
thorities, whether in the hands of a re
ceiver or not, and a tax sale under such
circumstances shall effect the removal of
such property from the jurisdiction of
the court and receiver. The ordinary
rights of application for an abatement

criticism of these waterways, and gave
notice of motions to reconsider on the

De Armond from the Judiciary Com
mittee reported to the House, with the
recommendation that it pass, a bill to
prevent interference in the collection of
State, county and municipal taxes as
sessed against corporations. The meas
ure, the Representative says, is designed
to put corporations in the hands of re
ceivers appointed by Judges and courts
of the United States in the same condi
tion with respect to the collection of
these taxes as if no receiver existed. It
often happens that corporations by order
of the United States Courts pass into
the hands of receivers and remain there
for a number of years, during which
time taxes assessed against them and
their property are paid or not paid, ac
cording to the judgment and discretion
and sometimes the caprice of the Fed
eral Conrts. By this practice corpora
tions in the hands of receivers are ena
bled to defer the payment of taxes
almost indefinitely to the great inconve
nience and prejudice of the States. The
committee is of the opinion that corpo
rations in the hands of receivers should
not enjoy any greater immunity with re
spect to payment of taxes than that
which it poeseseed by corporations car
rying on their business outeide of court
and without receiver..

Most Fftectlve and Hlmpleat Way to
Prevent Horn. Orowlng on Cattle
Prof Roberta of Cornell University is
persuaded after several experiments that
caustic potash in slick form, which may
be procured at any drug store, ia the
cheapest, most effective and simplest
way to prevent horns from growing
on cattle. He says: "The best time to
apply is early in the life of the animals,
just aa soon aa the little horns can be
distinguished by the touch. The hair

to which a few drops of ammonia have

Care must be taken not to moisten the
skin except on the born where the pot

stick of caustic potash is dipped in wa

then rubbed on the moistened surface of

Teaching Calves to Drink.
According to E. E. Emery, agricultur
ist at the North Carolina experiment
station, the successful calf feeder will
use more tact than force in teaching a
calf to drink. He will never allow a
foolish calf to betray him Into a naosion
or display of brute force. Do not allow
the can to suck the whole hand or sin

hand over the nose, gently bring it to

in the other hand. By separating the
fingers hold back the sides of the tongue
and insure the entrance of milk when
the calf sucks. If the milk ia warm,
there will be less trouble: then give the
calf more or less of the two lingers, ac
cording to tne success in Keeping it in

doing well the fingers will scarcely be

badly, give the fingers to suck and con

now and then will encourage the calf to
continue. I have been obliged to dip
my hand repeatedly into the milk and

would allow its nose to be turned into

PRKNCH ANAKCHIftTH.
Urgency on Hill forbidding Publication
of lleport. of Their Trial. Voted.
Pa bis. Ernest Bordes died in a city
hospital this evening. The physicians
say that his death was due directly to
injuries received in the cafe of the Hotel
Terminus on the eveningof February 12,
when l-.nnl llenn threw a bomb among
the guests. As this is the second death
which was caused by the Hotel Terminus
explosion, the charge of murder is likely
to be established against Henri without
great difficulty. Paul Bernard, one of
the most dangerous international an
archists in Europe, haa been sentenced
at Montbrison to one year's imprison
ment lor having exhorted an audience
in Koanne four years ago to murder and
pillage, and the Chamber of Deputies
has voted urgency on a bill forbidding,
the publication of reports of anarchist
trials. The frameri of the bill argued
that the notoriety given to men like
Ravachol and Vaillant by public trials
was the most powerful incentive toother
anarchists to commit horrible crimes.
The proposal for nrgency waa approved

The Animal View of Man.
That man is, generally speaking, from
the animal's point of view, an object of
fear, hostility or rapine is today most un-
fortunately true. But whether tins
their natural relation and not one induced,
and capable perhaps of change, is by no
means certain, eavage man, who has gen
erally been first in contact with animals,
Is usually a hunter and therefore an object
of dislike to tlio other hunting animals
and of dread to the bunted. But civilised
man, with his supply of bread and beef, Is
not necessarily a hunter; and it is just
conceivable that he might be content to
leave the animals in a newly discovered
country unmolested and condescend, when
not better employed, to watch their atti
tude toward himself.

Upon this question the Town and
Country Journal of Australia says : Of
all the evil habits that hens can acquire
that of egg-eating Is perhaps the most
provoking and unpardonable and at the
same time most incurable. In the nat
ural or wild state the hen hides her nest
in a thicket to protect it from her com
panions, male and female. Here the
preservation of her eggs is paramount to
everything else. II we follow the nat
ural order of things, all is well ; if we
deviate from it to a greater or less 'de
gree, to a corresponding degree will dis
astrous results follow such action. "An
ounce of preventive is worth a pound of
cure." Therefore start properly with .
tne puiiets by Placing their nests in a
retired and secluded portion of the build

this passage way also give, besides the
seclusion so much needed, a degree of
darkness favorable to the quiet occupa-
