He was born in 17x1 at Wyi:.'1 ;a
Northumberland. where his ratliot
worked as a colliery Seeman, an oc-
cultation which gave hint t1 we rkly
wage of twelve slrtlliu:zs. upon
pittatare he hats to maintaiu hint
his wu•r and six childtcn, of whom
00ot was the cart 1 son. Node
of the children had any e'hleat' e,
for at an early nge they were all
compelled to earn money for -tau: no-
-keep of their home, which eonsisted
of one shall room.
As a child George was employed
as 0 row -herd, and at the ager of 14
he went to work in the colliery as
assistant to his father at a wage of
six shillings per week. Four years
later he became a fully -qualified fire
man, and he was then able to spare
from his wages each week the sum
of three pence to pay for tuition at
a night school. It was thus that he
secured his first education and he
made rapid progress, although much
of his leisure, after working' for 13
hours a day in the.rnlliery, was de-
voted to earning extra money by odd
jobs, such as hoot and clock repair-
ing.
His industry and study speedily
gained him better -paid employment
in outer celli•ari-,es, and he established
a local reputation as an ingenious , n-
ineer, When he was thirty he in-
vented a safety lamp for miners,
which divided honours with the one
produee•d simultaneously by Sir
fiumpin•,•y Davy. and this brought
hlim a large sum of money and con-
siderable fame.
In 1,C'19 he turned hi; attention
to the !emblem ef steam traction.

t'1 on It was originally
Ott a,l• d that this line should only ler
vl for the vonveyaune of freight,
oat passengers were carried from
the opening day, and it was the first
public steam railroad in the world.
Stephenson demonstrated the many
advantages o fthe new method of
travelling at the formal opening of
the line on the 27th September,
1825. when he drove the first engine
oyer the road and hauled 34 wagons,
a total weight of 90 tons, at a speed
ranging from 10 to 15 miles per
hour.
Shortly afterwards he became the
construction engineer of the Liver-
pool and Manchester Railway, and
he then succeeded in building the
road -bed across a great stretch of
bog -land known as Chat Moss, a feat
which every other engineer in the
country- had declared to be an im-
possibility. It was for this railway
that he built his famour engine—
"The Rocket," which embodied all
the principh s of the modern loco-
motive, and the changes effected dur-
ing the past century have been
mainly a gradual increase in size
and power with improvements in de-
sign, material and mechanical con-
struction.
Stephenson was responsible for the
building of several other railroads in
Great Britain, and he lived to . ee
a new era of prosperity and enter-
prise established throughout the c•ivil-
iz,-a1 wnr1.1 as a direct result of the
..ml speedy means of transpor-
'at'on with w'h'en his name will ever

This is due, of course, to the start-

an Old Country paper. For tons of
thousands of years there was prac-

Man had a few herbal remedies, but
he had no way of combating terrible
diseases and epidemics, :melt as the
plague, typhus, and smallpox, dis-
eases which swept away whole cities,
even whole races. He did not know
their causes, so he not only had no
cures, but no tvay of preventing then..
Thr Idea that infectious dase•ao^n
could be spread by insects and ani-
mals had never occurred to him. He
did not even know that many were

Meek soils Which aro avid require

ant meadow plants are grown. There
are snarly acres of muck, however,
that are not acid. Light dressings
o1' well rotted manure applied to
muck land will give very beneficial
results, but when only sufficient
manure is available for the upl.ancl
soils, commercial fertilizers should be
applied to the muck areas. Almost
all soils of a peaty or mucky char-
acter are deficient in potash and us-
ually lacking also in phosphorous.
Mixtures of 75 to 150 potualds of
muriate of potash and 200 to 300
pounds of acid phosphate (super-
phosphate) per acre will, in almost
every case, give excellent returns in
crop yields. Dressings such as these
may be applied to intertilled, cereal
and hay crops.
Hay mixtures composed of alsike,
clover, timothy and red top, and
other crops, such as rye, wheat, corn,
nlangels, bax, potatoes and sweet
clover have all been grown with sue -
less on muck soils. Meadows and
pastures, however, cover a larger
area of these soils in Eastern Can-
ada, than any other farm crop. Fur-
ther information on the management
of muck soils, and soils of other
types, may be obtained by writing
to the Publications Branch, Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a
copy of Bulletin 72 new series on
"Crop Rotations and Soil Manage-
ment for Eastern Canada."
TAX IS HEAVI, R
I:NOL COUNTRY
Comparsion Gives Benefit to United
States — Average British Citizen
Pays $75 a Year.
Striking contrasts in governmental
finance are presented in the relative
positions of the treasury of the Unit-
ed States and that of Great Britain,
states the Index, published by the
New York Trust company.
The revenues of the two countries
are virtually the sante. Last 5,eaar's
income of the United States treasury
was $1,120,394,441 compared with
$3,007,640,850 for the British gov-
ernment. Of these two amounts ap-
proximately 11 per cent. is derived
from customs in both instances, This
means that the average Brutish citi-
zen pays $75 in various forms of tax,
compared with $30 paid by the aver-
age American on a per capita ba -4s,
Prosperity in the united States has
enabled that country to recover from
The war inflation to the extent of re-
ducing the national debt more than
a billion dollars in one year and
closing the year with a surplus. The
recovery looked for in Great Britton
however, is still a considerable
tance around the corner, as the bud-
get for the present fiscal year would
indicate. The income tax holds the
key to the revenue situation in bath
countries, -
Tn the United States the problem
at the moment is one of determining
what to do with the surplus, In
Great Britain the immediate prob-
lem is to find greater revenue from
old sources and to develop business
to the point where the tax yield will
be sufficient to enable the govern-
ment to function without loss,

about 1,500 the Baja got possession
of the area 1n the pb ms lulown as
the Jaintla Pargnnas. and from that
date we have a continuous record.
Throughout its moistener the state
was engaged in continual struggles
with sty neighbors, the result being
Laval -121)1y the same, temporary sub-
jection followed by recover'0 inde-
pendence. Our first dealings with it
were in 1774, when a British force
occupied the conllry, but restored it
on payment of a fine. Wo know
nothing of the causes which led to ,
this elgtedition.
In 1821 some emissaries from Jain.-
tia were caught in the act of kid-
napping a Brithib sahi"et, from Syl-
(set, with the intention of offering
Mat as a t,'acrilcn to Kali. It was
learnt that snch sacrltices had been
arusnally offered for some time, In
the hope that the sister of the Raja
might be blessed with offspring. By
Khasi custom, which still survices,
inheritance Is through the female,
and the chief of a Khasi state Is
succeeded, not by his own, but by
his sister's son,
The offenders were punished, and
the Raja warned, but attempts con-
tinued, until eleven year's later four
British subjects were kidnapped, of
whom only one escapedalive to re-
port the outrage. The Rasa refused
redress, and his territories were
annexed in 1835.
The temple walls are still standing
at Jaintiapur, where saeri0ces were
offered. They are ponderous masses
of brickwork, some three feet thick
and ten feet high, and the enclosure
is full of Jungle, now partially clear-
ed, as the ruins enjoy the protection
of the Government. One enters
through the broken gateway in the
southern side, flanked with plaster
designs of some weird kind of dragon,
and spirited scenes of tiger and ele-
phant hunts.
Facing the high altar, on its stone
platform, lies the object which
arouses the greatest interest, the
stone of sacrifice. It is some ten
feet across, with a concave top of
plaster, and a sprout to carry off the
blood is fixed at the end towards the
altar.
Although all the Rajas boar Ilhrdu
names, and were more or loss under
the influence of the Brahmins, there
is nothing to show that this was ever
more than a veneer. The sacrifices
were nominally offered np to the
goddess Kali, in accordance with the
Tantric observa.nee's, but, t11"re is lit-
tle doubt that the system prevailed
over the whole of Assam in pre -
Hindu tunas. In the Jaiutie hills,
according to tradition, human semi -
floe was made to the .goddess of 111e
Kopili river, whose place was later
taken by•hali.
Frequently the victims volunteer-
ed, in reward for which they enjoyed
the privilege for a short, period of
being allowed to do whatsoever' they
pleased. When the supply of these
fell short, renonrse was had to :kid-
na9ping strangers from across the
border,
Tnr'mi rly the hnilclines at Jain-
tia:nnr nest have been numb mor" ex-
tensive than they now are. The vil-
lages abounds with ruined temples
and old tanks, The two forums of
ar'•hitecture form 5. str•on.^, contrast,
the Iihasi monoliths of massive
stone, and the brick temples in 1he

Ono of these tables, hidden away

least twe feet in thickn »ss, anal twen-
ty in diameter, supported on teat
stone legs. Close by lies another of
the same breadth hot somewhat thin-
ner, and broken by tts own weight.
Tile' nearest place from which these
stones could have been brought is
not far off, about four miles away on
the hillside, bet from there it world
have to be lifted down the Mee of a
steep percipice, and across several
foothills, and a swamp. No more vil-
lage could have managed its trans-

atones is now a lost art.
