Another member Of his tribe stood

kinky and he carried a short rifle. In
the pocket of his ballet skirt he carried
some blank cartridges. Every two
minutes he would load his rifle and
take a shot at the nan in the boat.
Immediately afterward he would cut
a few fancy shuttle steps and bark in a
gleeful manner. A Columbian guard

The cauoeist had an effective way OF

he was about TO run into a launch, but
he dropped his feet over the sides of
the canoe and it stopped with a lurch.

For small equestriennes, as for their

habits have been much relaxed of late.
The postillion basque, which custom
used to require as a part of every
habit, is often replaced by a Norfolk
jacket or n box coat over a loose blouse.
Habits for little girls are now made
like those for grown women, except
that the skirt is usually more simply

The Tobacco and Other Taxes.

The United States Government collects
annually more than thirty millions of dol
lars OF internal taxes upon tobacco. OF
this large sum about one-half is the pro-
duct of the tax on smoking and chewing
tobacco. Our Washington correspondent,
IN his last kilograms from that city, says
that nobody has as yet been bold enough
10 propose TO increase the tobacco tax,
but Notwithstanding leaves 1t to be in
ferred that somebody may yet be found
courageous enough 10 propose to perpe-
trate this wrong upon the Woodworking
men, who have no other luxury than to-
bacco. When 1t was proposed years ago
10 reduce the internal taxes upon tobacco,
and its manufactures. it was found that
some OF the largest dealers or spectators
in those articles were opposed TO such re-
duction. 1t was only after the people had
made II hot' for these monopolists and
their hackers that Congress enacted the
law reducing the taxes upon tobacco in
all its different forms. AS In the case
Of whiskey and beer, so, no doubt, in the
case OF tobacco, to increase the internal
taxes will be TO put hundreds OF thou
sands. IL not millions. OF dollars into the
pockets Of the spectators. unless in the
law authorizing the increased-taxes pro-
vision be made for preventing "a rush of
hands into the pockets OF the people.
To increase the tax from six 10 nine cents
per pound. as Is proposed. would be TO
add hfty per cent. 10 it, and fifty per
cent. OF fifteen millions Of dollars. which
Is less than the sum-total OF the internal
tax upon chewing and smoking tobacco.
would be seven and half millions. This
large sum would be made a gift TO the
men holding large stocks Of tobacco at
the time tho now law took effect.

vision Of the internal taxes Will be the
