DONKEY AND MULE
SERVE MAN WELL
In Some Countries Rank Fear
Above Horse.
. 1
The donkey and the mule, slandered
and slurred, more often cursed, than
maligned and impugned as
obstreperous, cantankerous beasts of
burden, have served man long and
well. The best donkeys, says the
■ Brooklyn Eagle, ore not to be found
In this country,  although In the coal
mines and mountainous regions the
pntiently working little beasts daily
render a service that no other animal
could well perform, fiecause of tlie'.r
hard, tough hoofs they ate able to
cllnlb rugged and rocky mountains and
to traverse parts of the earth's sur
face that would be Impassable to a
horse. 4
The donkeys of Spnin are especially
good, and In Egypt the donkey Is far
more-precious than the horse. It Is
said that the donkey Is far better,
able to find Its way over the desert
than is the camel, and travelers have
reported seeing long lines of camels
traveling In a caravan with a single
donkey in the lead. The camels carry
the water supply for their little pilot
of the caravan and. In return
service, he leads them nafely In the
right direction.
The donkey is the father of the
mule. On the eastern continent don
keys rjxn wild and have Interbred
with horses. The mule Is the result
of this Interbreeding, Its father being
the donkey and Its mother the ljorse.
The mule and the donkey ore alike
In many respects. The mule Is the
larger of the two animals, but both
havß the sfme streak of obstinacy
and an excellent memory. As a mat
ter of fact, their memory Is often too
good. They will long remember peo
ple who have mistreated them and
plainly show their resentment for a
long time after. They are alike en
dowed with a will power that Is
peculiarly strong and they like to
have their own way. This trait has
earned for them the reputation of be
ing balky, and obstinate.
The donkey has a mouth that is
lined with very tough skin so that
he can live on vegetable fare that
would probably kill a less hardy anl
maL Thistles he can masticate thor
oughly: Both the mule and the donkey
can live OQ rough food on yrtilch U'
horse would starve to death. Each
eats considerably less than a horse.
In European and Asiatic countries
and, In fact, to all countries where
there Is much mountainous territory,
a great part of the commerce Is de
pendent upon the donkey. The hardy
little animal can carry a load of un
believable weight with apparent ease
and little discomfort Caravans of
them will start on a long trip over
the mountains heavily loaded with
merchandise for all parts of the world.
Over the mountains and down to a
seaport he will carry his burden.
%liere the cargo of spices, camphor
and what not Is loaded on ships and
carried to the four corners of the
• earth. '
The Caste System
This Is a social system In India. The
. population Is divided Into a large num
ber of hereditary groups which refuse
to have anythitig to do with members
of any other group. In some parts of
India there are as many as two hun
dred of these groups, any member of
which would be considered tainted If
he so much as sat down at a table
with a member of a lower caste. The
system Is now being rapidly broken
down by the Influence of the British.
Castes are supposed to have had their
origin In the successive conquests of
the country by peoples from the porth.
With each conquest the superior caste
was supplanted by a conquering caste.
These different classes refused to In
termarry and for the most part the
* individuals followed the occupations of
their fathers. The word "caste" is
now loosely applied to the different
social classes in any country.—The

Pre-Raphaelites
The name "Pre-Baphaelltes" ..was
given In about 1850 to n»
group of 'painters, Including Mlllals,
Holm an Hunt, Alma Tadema and
Dante Gabriel Bosettl, who rebelled
against the conventionality of routine
teadilng in art, and sought to return
to the natural method, as practiced
previous to the time of Raphael 1483-
1520). The Pre-Baphaelltes were ably

Gopaf XnifcerJl, Ind'an lecturer and au
thor.
Mr. Mukerjl asserts that all real do
ing was the result of active contem
plation and thinking, ami that deeds
unpremeditated were Short-lived, and
cltes-examplcs from lilq experiences
with animals In India.
"Once." said Mr. Mukerjl. "I was
with a party of inr-n who were travel
ing In India on elephants. One morn
ing ire saw the purplish color In the
high grass which indicates that a tiger
Is lying there. Before any of us could
raise a rllle the male, for there were
two of them, had leaped to the back
of one of the elephants and remained
there face to face with the helpless
rider. Meantime liis mate, the tigress,
slim!; away into some deep underbrush
and safety. She uttered'one little cry
and her mate leaped from tliq hack of
the Clephimt, and followed her. He
was shot down.
"The whole act -was not one of ag
gression, iiut of The tiger
did not want to 1 attack our man, but to
prevent us fronj nttacklng his mate.
He did not Instinctively save his own
life, but, after thought, however brief,
determined to sacrifice his owri"to save
hers. He knew that she who could
bear cubs and bring them up was of
more value than lie, and that it was
his clufy to sure her.
"In another instance the elephant
was left with a little Indian bnby In
a basket while the parent of the babe
went nwny for several hours. The ele
phant was tied so that he could not
reach the basket. When the parent
came back (I was with him) we saw
that a huge polsrfnous snake had
colled Itself around the basket. We
did not know whatUo do for fear that
the snake would strike the boby If wp
made any move.
The elephant all the while was
straining the rope which held him nnd
trying to attract the snake's attention
by swinging his trunk. He was clearly
trying to get the snake to attack him
and leave the baby. Thp parent car
ried n club. Suddenly the elephant
saw It and with one swoop of his
trunk wrenched it away from the mnn.
He moved the club back nnd forth
over th"e ground until the snake saw
It. The snake uncoiled Itself and
moved over and colled Itself around
the stick. With one rapid stroke the
elephant raised and lowered his trunk,
killing the snake.
"The elephant had thought out the
whole ruse nnd the snake had been
outwitted. The -elephant's actions
throughout had been Intelligently cal
culated to save the baby even* though
It were necessary to be bitten himself."

"Auntie" Felt Better
"Auntie" Is a venerable colored
woman who. succeeds in making -a

bright side of life, even though she Is

Dear Air. Editor:
Fifty ye irs ago my father, Daniel I
V. Davis, began growing tjimcco.
A few yoars later he decided that!
tbi'je are better days than others lor j
harvesting tubacco in order for it to
euro up nicely and have a rich, j
"Waxy" and heavy body. To I'uiU I
the v.ny to 101 l these days ahead was I
a hard job, but ho was finally sue- j
ce.-sful.
" Foiir some tvasoy my father keptj
ill is, information a secret from every
bi.dyj even his own family, until a
S!K n while before his sudden dea'hj
liist November, a year ago. In
August he called a visiting sister
a'htl myt-etf to a tal>l« where ' e was
doing Rome writing and explained it
ull to us.
1 Me.iii e to |»b-a this information
to as many tobacco growers as pos
sible. In explanation, lot mo say
that tobacco has oily substance,
which is n natural possession, li has
i sap (water) liko other vegetation.
When the *ap rises it runs the oij
out through the pores ol the leaves
on the principle * that, til and wate
dou't mix, and oil being lighter is
pushed out by the sap. Tobacco
harvested in this state will be light
and "chaffy" when cured. There
being only sap (water) in the to
bftcco this evaporates in curing and
lt'aves the tobacco light and worth
less. Hut tobacco harvested \vhen
the sap is down and oil in the leaves
renders it easily cured and makes it
rich, Oily and "ivaxy." This is bt -j
cause the tobacco is full of oil instead
of sap ami oil being unable to'evap
orate remains lo give the tobacco
weight.
I shall be pleased to answer-cor
respondence from tobacco growers
who may desire to write me, pro-1
vitled postage is sent for reply.

. PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TAX.
If Not Paid Before August Ist 20 per
cent Penalty Will be Added.
It in the desire that all Personal
Privilege License Taxes be paid
prior to August Ist, and*, thereby
relieve the taxpayers from any
penalties which accrue for failure
to pay game prior to that date.
To this end Hon. R. A. Doughton,
Commissioner ot Revenue, Ra»
leli'h, has issued the following,
bulletin to all Deputies, in tho
State, with request that the vari- ••
otis newspapers print same sis the
same is of considerable interest to
their subscribers.
"It. A. Doughton, Commissioner
of Revenue, stated today that
there had been collected by his
Department during the months of
May and June, 35 per cent more
License Taxes than was collected
for tho same two months of 192 a,
which ho construes to be a pur
pose of the taxpayer to pay at the
time required by law and avoid
penalty.
This excess collection was grat
ifying to the"" Commissioner, as ho
does not desire to impose penalty
for the failure to pay license tax
within the time prescribed by the
statute.
The Revenue Act provides that
all license taxes paid subsequent
to Angus' Ist carry a penalty of :
20 per cent. The Commissioner'
has called the attention of the
taxpayers to this provision of the
Revenue Act several times, and 1b
this date issuing a circular letter
to all the Deputy Commissioners
throughout the State directing:
that they give as much publicity
to this fact as possible.
The Commissioner earnestly re
quests that all persons liable for
