I ■m'* Liao in a _ lnr
Tax Dodaers Discussed.
If the Legislature doesn’t frame a
law at the present session, to bring
tax dodgers to law, we shall be great
ly surprised. Speaker Little is earn
estly in favor of such legislation, and
will introduce a bill seeking to cor
rect the evil complained of.
Ex-Senator E. A. Flewellen, who
has given the subject Jmuch thought,
writes as follows to the Atlanta Jour
nal:
“No man can be in more hearty
accord with the Comptroller General
in his recent recommendations for a
complete revision of our code of tax
laws than the writer of this.
“During the last session of our leg
islature, and since, much thought and
study was and has been given to that
subject. There is an evident de
mand and necessity for the change,
for those who are most able to bear
their just proportion of taxation have
their investments mostly in such prop
erty as is known as invisible, and
which they manage in various ways,
to withhold from taxation. That
greatly increases the burden of taxa
tion upon all property which is tan
gible and cannot be concealed.
There is very general clamor for re
lief.
“Our tax laws need revision in so
many particulars that no man should
be blamed for making suggestions.
The bill ’"hich passed the senate of
our last legislature on this subject
contained many good points worthy
of consideration.
“All holders of taxable bonds
should be required to return each
bond by number, and state by whom
issued. All land lots are required to
be returned by numbers. Why not
bonds? The holders of notes and
accounts should be required to file
with the tax receivers a list thereof,
stating the face and cash value of
each. While the law requires mer
chants to return for taxation their
real estate, meachandise, money;
notes and accounts, it is becoming
quite common for them to form
merchandise companies and return
only their capital stock, which is gen
erally far below the true value of the
entire property. While there is no
law known to the writer authorizing
such returns, they are received by
the tax receivers. They ought to be
stopped.
“If nothing else is done, much
more good can be accomplished by
defining more explicitly the duties of
our tax receivers and tax collectors,
and enact a penalty of forfeiture of
one-half of their commissions for fail
ure to perform all of their legal re
quirements. If tax receivers are
made to administer the oath required
of tax payers, in solemn form, that of
itself would greatly increase the
amount of property on the digest,
for that oath is so comprehensive
that no man who takes it can evade
making fair and just returns without
perjury. As it is, there is, perhaps,
not a tax receiver in the state who
formerly and in solemn form admin
isters the oath. The tax payer is
to make out his tax returns
A suit his own interests without be-
But few read the oath
to the tax returns. It ought
made the law that when any
signs the return it shall be
. r ßhjred that he has either read
or heard it read, and that
HHB re turns are made he shall be
to indictment for perjury.
i equipments of law are more
Hit for tax collectors than for tax
Yet it is rarely the case
■t one ot them fully discharges
H legal requirements. Where rich
Kn of influence are known to have
Bluable property of the kind known
■ invisible which they fail to return,
lat property is not assessed and
■uble taxed as required.
(“Tax receivers and tax collectors
■e both constitutional officers, and
Bnnot be displaced or removed from
ice except by indictment. Hence
e necessity of providing for a for
ture of part of their commissions
r non-compliance of law in the dis
arge of their duties.
“Paragraph 635 of volume r re
lires grand juries to correctly assess
operty returned at an undervalua
on. That law ought to be so
nended as to require them to add
> the list property not returned.
“Many other suggestions could be
lade, but this article is already too
jng.
“Uy all means let us have a tax
:ommission something like the one
n operation in Alabama, with such
mprovements as have been indicated
iy experience.”

SLATE PENCILS.
What They Are Composed of and lfow
They Are Made.
Slate pencils undergo a number of
processes before they uro ready for use,
and in making them nearly all of the
manual labor is done by boys. First
broken pioccs of slate are put into a
mortar run by steam and aro crushed to
a powder, which is then bolted in a ma
chine such as is used in flouring milla
A fino slato flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in a large tub with stea
tite flour and other materials, the whole
making a stiff dough. The dough is
kneaded by being passed between iron
rollers a number of times, and it is then
taken to a table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or five inches in
thickness and containing from eight, to
ten pounds of material each.
Four of theso cylinders are placed in
a strong iron resort which has a change
able nozzle so that the size of the pen
cils may be regulated. In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed t hrough the
nozzle in the shape of a long cord. As
the cord comes through the nozzle it
passes over a knife and is cut into the
desired lengths. The leugtlis art; laid
on boards to dry and are then placed on
sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation
preventing the pencils from warping
during the baking process. The baking
is done in a kiln into which sujs'rlieat
ed steam is introdutxid through pipes.
The pencils go from the kiln to tbo
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instunt under a
rapidly revolving emery wheel, which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed in pasteboard
boxes, 100 pencils in each box, then 100
of the pasteboard boxes are packed in a
wooden box, and they are ready for
shipment.—Philadelphia Times.

HOW WILD ANIMALS DIE.
Hungrr Get* Then. Even If They Escape
the Hwotor'i Gau.
What becomes of all the dead
birds and animals ?
Some of them, hastened in their
exits by villainous saltpeter, go into
cooking pots or yield up their blqod
dabbled feathers for woman’s adorn
ment. But how about those who
die a natural death?
It is the rarest thing to find the
bodies of wild animals, except such
as have plainly died in conflict or
by accident. At salt licks the ground
is often covered with tire bones of
animals who have been killed in
fights with each other.
In tropical countries tlio bodies of
dead animals rapidly decay, and
their smaller bones are devoured
by greedy beasts of the pig and
hyena types. But the same scarcity
of animal remains is noted in the
arctic regions, where decay is al
most unknown. Here big bensts
like tho Siberian mammoth have
been “cold storagod’’ for many cen
turies and actually eaten at tho lust.
But each succeeding spring does,
as might be expected, disclose the
skeletons of birds or animals who
have died during the year and been
buried by the snow. Yet birds
swarin by the millions in summer
on the arctic tundra, and seals, rein
deer, foxes, walruses and othor land
and water animals are there. Nor
denskjold notes this strange absence
of “self dead” polar animals. Not
one did he see, thougli there were
plenty of traces of man’s wanton
waste of life in creatures dead of
gunshot wounds. "The polar bear
and the reindeer." he writes, “are
found in hundreds, the seal, walrus
and white whale in thousands and
birds in millions. These birds must
die a ‘natural dentil’ in untold num
bers. What becomes of their bod
mu
Jt is strange that on Spitsbergen
it is easier to find the vertebra of a
gigantic lizard of tho trius than the
bones of a seal, walrus or bird which
has met a natural death.
It is probable that animals most
universally hide themselves when
they feel the pangs of appronchiug
deuth. Their chief foe is hunger,
coupled with old age. Distemper
kills foxes and wolvos as well as do
mestic dogs and cats. Chills and
hoart disease count animal ns well
as human victims. Old animuls die
of indigestion, especially when their
teeth become too poor to permit of
ohewing their food.
Tumors, diphtheria and consump
tion uro frequent animal complaints,
and anthrax, influenza, glaudersand
cholera claim their share. Rabies
comes in epidemics among wild ani
mals as well as tame ones. It wus
so common among foxes in 1830 to
1838 in France and Switzerland that
fox hunts were organized for the
protection of domestic animals.
All this, however, doesn't explain
what becomes of tho dead animals.
Perhaps that will cease to be a mys
tery when we tiud out where all tint
pins and shoo buttons go.—New

THE NAVAL CHAPLAIN.
Ill* OflHolul Station anil l>utie In 'lima of
Tip mo.
The chaplain’s official station in most
ship ceremonies and. i<t time of battle is
at the sick hay, whew lies the sick. Dis
cipline and fresh air tire wonderful pre
servatives of health, and a chaplain’s
duties to the sick in times of peace are
Very light. At naval hospitals, however,
whither uio brought from the ships the
very sick and the seriously wounded, a
chaplain finds ample field for the exer
cise of that tender sympathy which
wins souls to Crod and for the minister
ing of the consolations of religion. It is
also the duty of the chaplain to wwi-t
at naval burials. The regulations re
quire that Christian burial be provieled
for all men who die in the service. If
possible, the body is interred with the
rites of the church to which the deceas
ed had belonged. When this sod duty is
required at sea, the ship is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the ofli
cers and men are mustered on dock to
pay their lust tribute to the departed.
The funeral services follow, and ths
body is then consigned to the deep. A
guard of honor fires three volleys over
the watery grave and the hugler sounds
the last “taps”—sad, mournful notes of
the bugle which tell of the hour of
sleep. If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and a guard of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at*
taehed accompany the funeral cortege
to the grave. As the procession enters
the cemetery the bugler precedes, fol
lowed by the chaplain. This spectacle
is always impressive. It naturally sug
gests the prayer that angels, led by tho
angel guardian, may boar the soul of
the deceased before the throne of God
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the angel at the judgment seat
may proclaim welcome, joy and glad
ness as the hugler at the grave real la
loss, sadness and regret.— Duuahoe’a
