the verge of starvation. A long
list of heartrending cases came to
light, and no doubt was left that
not a few of the unfortunate little
ones had died ot inanition. The
intelligence, heralded abroad
through the local press, at once
became sensational, and the starv
ing school children are now the
idols of the hour.
The children, cross examined
by a relief committee, corrobora
ted the evidence already taken. It
transpired that their principal
food consisted oi dry bread ami
occasionally a little weak soup or
coffee. It is quite true that some
of them affirmed that they were
habitually given a glass of spirits
to slifie the cravings of their ap-
etor and ace if any storm is blow

I If we remember correctly the
Commissioner of Agriculture of
Georgia estimates that that State
usually spends about $8,000,000
annually for Western corn and
|K>rk. That Slate has 1,542.180
inhabitants. Alabama. Georgia,
Florida. Looisana, Arkansas, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina, Tennes
see and Texas in 1880 contained
i about 10,077,931, inhabitants.
' If each of these nine Slates con
sumes as much Western corn anil
poik as Georgia, according to
their population, it would aaonnt
in the aggregate to about $50,
000,000 fur the nine Slates. And
this is perhaps not more than half

By this means fire may be con

rapidity. It must never he for

of a fire, and not a single second
of time should be lost in tackling
it. In a room a tablecloth can
be so used as to smother a large
sheet of flame,\nd a cushion may-
serve to beat it out; a coat or
anything similar may be used
with an equally successful result.
The great point is presence ol
mind, calmness in danger, action
gntded by reason and thought.
In ail large booses buckets ot wa

to attack the bed of a fire; if you
cannot extinguish a fire, shat the

Taxing Farmers.
“How much do the farmers pay
the Slate for the fertilizers which
they use?'' inquired a Journal
man ol Commissioner Henderson
yesterday.
‘-Eighty three thousand and
thirty five iloUara.’’
“And bow tnuclt.ia that sum in
excess of the cost of inspection?"
“Sixty eight thousand anti one
hundred and seven dollars and
thirty five cents.”
‘•Then the fanner pays the
Stale that large special lax with
out other return than $14,939
worth of inspection?”
“Not exactly. The State sup
ports the agricultural department
tor the former’s benefit. That
josts at present $14,200. This
department and the ins|iectioDS
are the two benefits which the
farmers get from the Slate. To
gelher they cost $29,128. Take
that sum troiu the gross amount
paid by the farmer and yon have
$57,807 as the special tax on
farmers for which they get no
»l>ecial return. This surplus goes
to the support of public schools,
and you and 1 and all men of all
clnsseB can get at least as much
advantage from it as the forming
class, which, unassisted pays it.”
“Do you think this large sur
plus is disposed of properly?”
“Indeed I do not 1 think it
should lie set apart for the bene
fit of the class from whose pocket
it comes.”
“In what way?'.
“It ought to be appropriated to

was jierformed by the Pope on the
