are not all owned by companies, but many
by the government. They stop at the most
expensive and best hotels, and buy a great
deal from the various manufactures, shops,

to the u of the country. In spite
of this a nonresident who travels must be

How to Tan Coyote and Other Small
Skins.

Soak the skin until soft, and then re-
move all superfiuous flesh; then soak in
tepid soft water one hour. For each skin
make a solution consisting of boraN, one
half ounce; saltpeter- three-quarters
ounce; Glauber salt, one-half ounce. Dis
solve or moisten with soft water sufficient
to spread on the feshy side of the skin.
Put on with a brush, taking into eonsid-
GRAFTON the different t~hicknesses, and APP
ply accordingly. Keep in a moderately
cool place for twenty-four hours, when the
skin is to be washed thoroughly clean, and
take sal soda, II ounce; boraN, one-half
ounce; good soap, two ounces. Melt
to a boil, and apply the heated mixture
while warm to the heshy side. Heat up
again, and keep in a warm place twenty
four hours longer. Wash clean again as
before, and apply saleratus, two ounces;
hot water, three quarts: alum, four Ounces;
salt, eight ounces. Dissolve in the water
the other Ingredients. When sufficiently
cool to allow the handling without scald-
ing the bare hand, put in the skin and al
low it to remain for twelve hours. After
ward wiring u the moisture and allow it
twelve hours longer in which to dry.
Finish up with pulling and working, and
finally by rubbing with a piece a sand
paper or pumice stone.

The income Tax in Germany.

Americans, and, in fact, all visitors VINO
spend any time in German cities, expert
ence considerable annoyance on account
of the imposition Of an income tax upon
them after they have been residents for
three months, writes a Berlin correspon-
F., dent of the New York World. This tax
or levy is a great imposition, but it is east
ly avoided by the initiated. One may live
a year at a hotel and never be called upon,
as hotel guests are regarded as travellers,
but when boarding in a family or 'spen-
sion" everyone is liable to taxation. If
one chooses to remain three months and
go off for a visit and return, taxation can
he avoided three months longer. It ap-
pears that every man or I'M who has a
residence" in the lega. sense must pay an
income tax. Even the servants do not es-
cape. Though they are paid a very meag-
re scale Of wages, much lower than that
received by servants in America, they are
obliged to submit to the extortion. A first
class cook here receives 50 thalers and a
Christmas present of from s to 10 thaler..
An ordinary cook commands from so to 20
thalers, with a Christmas gift of 5 or 10
thaiers. These sre annual wages, and
when one considers that a thaier is equal
to about 90 cents in American money, the
taxation to which they are subjected seems
very oneroUs.
A governess of this city was taxed not
long, ago while in Dresden, not upon her in
come, but upon thesvalue Of her board ard
lodging as received. Since then she has
prudently stipulated that when travelling
with her employers this taxation should
be betrayed by them. A lady came to this
city recently to be near her two daughters,
and after remaining three months was tax
ed according to her means. Her daugh- |
ter escaped, though she, too. lived upon
her private income, but being 4 young
lady, and such seldom possessing indepen-
dent resources in Germany, she was not
called upon. Another lady and gentleman
this week left the city sooner than they in
tended simply to avoid taxation. When
the gentleman was confronted by one of the
.'polyse' and was asked, What is your in
come and how much are you WORTH He
promptly replied, None Of your business
He was astonished to learn what was eS-
pected of him and left the city rather than
submit.
