him by the tail and he skirled. Though

the decision of the supreme court in
regard to the income tax will be apt to
land man in the insane asylum The
litigation over the tax has hardly be-
gun. 1t will be years before all parts
of 1t shall have been judicially con-
strued, and meanwhile it will be a
bother and vexation of spirit to all
those who have to pay the tax.
As none such are to be found in the

Capt. Robbins had an experience with the peculiar taxes in Sicily, says the Portland (Me.) Press- He took over a cargo of oil from Philadelphia to Marseilles and had thirty cords of ordinary four foot irewood to pack the oil barrels with to prevent their roll ing. It is called by the sailors "oil wood." He paid for this wood one hum
 dred and fifty dollarf in Philadeiphis. He did not sell in harseilles because he expected to get more for it in Trapani. But the dealers there offered him only fifteen dollars for the whole of 1t, say ing that the enormous tax upon it would not allow them to offer more. He declared that he'd bring it beck to America before he'd sell 1t ct that price, and 90 he did, and it is here in Portland now, after travelling eight thousand miles over the ocean, and it may 20 three thousand more, because If he can't get decent price for it here he will take it beck to England, where he Is going from here with spool wood. There he can get about one hundred dollars for it. England doesn't went cordwood. She hes got enough coal. and less is paid for eordwood there thaa here.

 Among other expedients to raise money, Ivan resigned the crown in favor of Tartar khan, who was bap- tized under the name of Simeon, says the Gentleman's Magazine. Ivan feigned to withdraw himself from pub lie affairs. but in realty he held on to them, and made the new ear call in all the charters formerly granted to the monasteries and bishoprics and all the charters were cancelled. The. curious interregnum, or by what other name it should be designated, lasted nearly a year, and then Ivan declared he did not like the new regime, and disrnissing the baptized heathen, again took up the scepter which, as 8 matter of fact, he had never really discarded.
 He issued fresh charters to the Inonas- teries, but was careful to keep back several fine slices of the revenues, ex- torting from some of them fifty thou sand and from some thers one hundred thousand rubles annually. We shall see, as Ivan character is .unfolded, that this spoliation of the monasteries was not the only thing in which. he ;resem- bled our own merry monarch, Henry VIII. He would send his agents into the various provinces, there to buy up at low prices the whole of some partic- ular commodity for which the province was noted.
 After retaining the monopoly for awhile he would sell for a high rate and even compel merchants to buy at the prices he named. He followed . similar course with foreign imports, creating a monopoly and forbidding others to sell their stock until he had disposed of his own. By these means he cleared two hundred thousand eubles in a year.

 One of the two factories of this eouH- try for the making of patent food and patent medicine. for dogs has been de- scribed in the New York News. The founder of this novel lestablishment was Scotchman. He was employed in London kennels. studied the needs of dogs, thought out special treatment for them, and finally took out patents on food and medicines, and in his unique business amassed a fortune.
 On the second floor the visitor enters the receiving room Of the raw mate rials. Thousands of pounds of butchers scraps are brought here in the course of month. Oatmeal in wholesale quantities and tons of herbs are used. The old-fashioned dog's bane, boneset, catnip and beet root, under various scientific names, find a use as food or as medicine.
 The second floor is occupied by. four curious machines with great cylinder attachments. After the fat and the meat have been sorted, they are ground
 
 placed in great wooden tubs where various mixtures are added.
 The next process seems so much like the ordinary bakers work that one is quite disposed to taste things, and when the round and square cakes of tempt ing brown have been taken from the brick ovens, one really envies the aristocratic dog. After cooling, the biscuits are packed in neat pasteboard boxes.
 According to size these boxes are ls- belled for pet dogs, for greyhounds end for St. Bernards. There are spec iAlly prepared dishes for cats. Suf1- eient food to keep pussy for two days may be had for i've cents- But it costs pretty penny to keep . dog. A large deg must have six or eight cakes beside . quantity of meat. The meat costs probably about ten cents and the cakes arc four cents apiece.
 The most interesting department is that of the patent medicines at the top of the building. The mixture of herbs and chemicals are boiled in great ket- ties, and the liquid is brought up to this floor to be put in bottles of various sizes and labelled ''cure for mango" :" 'liniment for sprains, and ito prevent bsldness." Sure cures for seventeen diseases, and pills as well ss liquid med teines are made.
