Nash ran up under the same system was
3,5i7.76 pounds. Not long ago Henry w.
Lane, tho Sandow of Amherst college,
made total strength record of 3,S23
pounds, which on its face Is a much better
performance than that of Nash, but IL is
said that the record made by Lane cannot
be admitted on the ground that he did
not conflne himself TO the limited time al

different tests at intervals II this be true
Nash Is the strongest eoilegian in America
Nash looks every inch the strong man
that he Is. Heis "a years old, and his home
Is in Haverhill, Mass. Since he entered
college two years ago he has been closely
identified with athletics. In his freshman
year he played substitute in the varsity
football team, and in his sophomore and
junior years he had little difficulty in get
ting on the team as a regular player, his
position being left tackle.
His strength is natural to him, although
IL is in measure to be attributed 70 his
interest In athletics and to the excellent
training he has received IN swinging the
broadax at his trade of shipbuilder, which
he followed for some years prior TO enter
ing collegs. He entered on the engineering
course, but intends TO change next year
and take special work instead.

ms Ola wnooi. a new saddle, like new
friends, should not supplant the old.
Cycling does not need the matchmaker;
he Is a twin brother 10 the fakir, and as
such his absence is more desirable than his
presence can ever bo says The Wheel.
1t Is a remarkable fact that no rider on
earth Is so cocksure Of his speed and stay
ing power as the fellow OF one seasons ex-
perienco who has just acquired a new bi
cycle.
That the wheel Is a most remarkable We
hicle for dispatch carrying was plainly
demonstrated by the recent Chicago-New

1000 miles in 68 hours and 58 minutes.
The Kings County Wheelmen will hold
their fourteenth annual race meet on the
now track at Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn,
June 90. This track is one-third Of mile
in length and Is undoubtedly the fastest
and safest track in the world.

frontage toward tho main read and extends
round tks Cssner into bystreet 1t Is
entered by several doors, and each opens
into q separate compartment Of the bar
room, which but for the dividing parti-
lions w0ula be an extensive saloon fully
40 feet ia length. This arrangement in
compartments is peculies TO the British
urban public house and is designed partly
for the sake OF greater privacy, partly TO
diminish the chances Of disorder and to
assist the landlord in quelling IL when IL
arises. The second Is the chief object In
places frsquented by the lower Glasses,
while privacy gratiaes, or is understood to
crafty, castoners Of superior station. The
Blue Boar entertains both, having two or
three compartments mt one end rather
more comfoysable than the rest, and fur
ther protegfed from the public gaze by q
glass screen, such as Is now almost univer-
sal in the west end, rupninS along the
counter, but raised sufficiently above it to
allow glasses 10 be passed underneath.
This screening off Cf customers may per-
haps bc taken for a sign of grace indicat-
ing recognition of the growth Of pnbic
opinion against bar loafng, and especially
In women, who seem to deisre privacy the
most.

out fear and without repreaeh. Some bare
wooden benches adorn most Of the com
partments, but they ire litsle used. The
floor Is sawdhsted, filthy with spilled
liquor and eypectoration, the counter slop-
py with beef marks, which are periodical

and thrce or four girls, are tidy, quiet and

WASHINGTON, March &C. People who
take exception TO the income tax and the
few internal revenue taxes imposed in tho
United States may take some satisfaction
in learning how much worse off arc tho
French in this respect, as disclosed in re
port to the state department by United
States Consul Wiley, at Bordeaux. He
shows that every form of legal paper,
checks, notes and documents, bills OF lad
ing, even Autograph posters, must have
revenue stamp affixed. From this source
the treasury draws It's principal revenue,
amounting last year to io0o),0O0. Tho
spirit and wine tax amounted to 1920, 00O-
600. The custom house receipts were $780,
100000. Tobacco, matches, playing cards
aud other government monopolies yielded
s13000o,0 900. Sugar paid an internal reve-
nue. tax Of .052 cents per pound-S20 OO0,-
COO in all. Tho land tax brought in $780,
900, 900 and personal property S2s, 100000.
If clerk occupies hall room he pays
tax of 81 per annum, while his landlady
not only has to pay for her poodle but for
every door and window in the house. AS
the treasury receives SIC, 900 900 por an
mum for windows alone, the architect who
can design house with tho least possible
amount of ventilation does the best bust
ness. If you own a horse, carriage, bill
lard table or bicycle you are taxed. The
government collects 50, 400, 600 annually for
permitting such luxurles to exist, and
bill was recently Introduced in the cham
bers to tax the wearing Of oorsets. Bust
moss licenses bring in $4,000 600 per an
mum.
AS to expenditures, the interest on the
national debt is s270, 900 900, and the main
tenance Of the $50, 900 men in the army,
for which the French are running them
selves, costs $3.50, 900. The navy costs
$50, 900 each year, and 1t costs 2oo0,-
0Oo to run the government match, tobacco
and cigar factories, for individuals cannot
make or sell these things Salaries cost
5000, 900 for the president, senators and
chambers. The presidents salary alone is
$4,000 per annum, Ave times as much as
our own presidents salary, and the French
executive has seven year term.
The judiciary costs IS, 900 600. and as the
state also pays the priests 100000. The
foreign office and diplomatic service costs
5000, 600, and when it comes to public
works not less than $1,000, 900 is spent an
nua.ly, making our river and harbor and
public building appropriations seem ri
dculously small There are many other
items of expenses, requiring the exercise
of ingenuity to devise new taxes from
time to time, and how long tho French can
continue to support such nn expensive es-
tlblshment is a matter of speculation.
