If New Zealand maintains her
present laws it will be utterly i'm
possible for any man there to ever
be worth 100000 and almost inn
possible for one to get much above
100000. All land is taxed as land
at its selling price, but all improvs-
ments to the value of $500 are
exempt. Above that wealth is tax
ed in increasing ratios, so that q
millionaire would have to fall forp
about IL per cent. All tools of

exempt. Incomes, legacies and in

AN EMPEROR
Washes the Feet of Twelve Poor Men. IN
Imitation of the Divine Example.

Washes the Feet of Twelve Poor Men In
Imitation of the Divine Example.
| VIENNA. April 15.-In compliance
with an ancient custom, the Emperor
Francis Joseph Thursday washed the
feet of twelve poor men at the imperial
palace. This custom is in imitation of
the washing of the feet of the disciples
by Christ, and has been followed by the
emperors of the house of Hapsburg
from time immemorial.
The poor men are carefully selected
from among the respectable and deserv-
| ing. and the attendants see to il that
the feet are in no actual need of wash
ing before the emperor touches them
The twelve poor men are expected TO go
through thorough ablution before
J they are brought TO the palace. and
after their arrival their feet are in
spected and undergo "a final cleansing
before being uncovered in the presence
of the kaiser.
The poor men We're brought before
the emperor, who, approaching them in
an humble yet dignified manner. dipped
some water from a silver ever. and
touched the feet of each one in success
sion, afterward applying towel also tn
each. This took place in the hall of
ceremonies and in the presence of "A
brilliant assembly of members of the
imperial house. and of the nobility and
ministers.
The Il poor men were very old,
their collective ages amounting To /. O5s
years. With their snowy hair and
boards, and bent and lettering forms,
they presented remarkable contrast
to the giittering aSsemblage around
them. The kaiser himself is beginning
to look venerable, having aged consider.
ably since the death of the crown prince.
and as the venerable sovereign bent be-
fore his veteran subjects and performed
his humble task, even the courtierS
seemed to bc touched by the spectacle
After the ceremony the kaiser pre-
sented to each of the old men purse
containing thirty pieces of silver. accom-.
panying the gift with "A few kindly
words. Then the twelve poor men re.
tired and partooll of meal provided for
them, after which they were conveyed
in carriages to their homes.
This ceremony always touches the
popular heart in Vienna and crowds
watch ON the streets for the old men to
pass Thursday loud cheers greeted
them as they were borr.e to their homes.
