This tussock moth resembles the forest caterpillar in appearance, but is not quite as large. They have a vom- cious appetite, and once they attm-k the foliage of a. tree they soon make short, work of it. Lastsummer they wrought great havoc among toe shade trees in Toronto. The only remedy is the spray. and Mr Dippel thinks that people who wish to save their trees should not omit to get them sprayed early in the trprintr.-Teletwope. What can't School Inspector Camp- bell do, anyway ? On a recent Sunday he took the service in the Pteslsytevian Church, Durham, and did so well that he has been warmly congratulated on his effort. He never undertook any- thing yet that he did not do thorough! 5.. --Fletsherton Advance. I Mr. Shirl.

The merchant with it 810000.00 stock, of goods was certainly assessed more for hie stock than his neighbor with a 82000.00 stock goods, tre. Under the new Act stocks are assessed at 35 per cent of the valuation of the property they occupy', hat no assessment to he less than $250. A merchant doing hust- ness in a store valued at 84000 will he assessed 35per cent on 84000 or $1400. He may have a stock worth 810000. or he may have a stock worth only $500. it's all the same assessment. Here is where ahig injtveticelooms up. Take for instance. 2 stores side by side, each vnlued at $3000: in one " dry goods hus- incss is being dc he with a stock valued at 83000, in the other' a groceiy hltsines's is "eine done with a stock valued at $600. Under the new Act lhev emh pay taxes on an assessment of 81050. Under the old Act, allowingeach ofthem 20 percent off for goods in stock not paid for, the Inelchnnt would have to pav taxes on $2400 and the grocer would pay on $480.
