Turkeys Way Of Raising Revenue.

The land in all Turkey and her
dependencies belongs to the reigning
sultan and is only occupied at his
will. 1t is divided among those who
wish to cultivate it at nominal
rental of one-fifth of the produce,
which goes directly to the crown.
Three-fifths more are taken from
the lessee on other pretexts, all for
the maintenance of the government,
the pasha in each district having the
authority to lease the ground and
collect the taxes, which may be in
kind or money.
If crops are short, they take four
fifths of all the man has in animals
and even household utensils, some.
times all his possessions, to make UP
the deficiency which Providence has
withheld.
Everything that can produce, be
it tree, beast, fowl, worm or the
labor of man and his family, is
subject to the four.fifths tax.
Those who toll at any labor or
trade other than agriculture are
taxed also pro rata according to
their wages and must pay or go to
prison.-Pearson's Weekly.

THURSDAY MORNING, July 16, 1896.
A Typical German Duel.

Gentlemen, l think it is time to
60 home. One of you, at all events,
seems to have had few glasses
more than is good for him.
These were the words spoken by q
medical student shortly after mid
night at L. IS restaurant, where he
had been carousing with some col
leagues. Evidently the remarks of
the speaker had been addressed to
his friends, but at neighboring ia
BILE were sitting several officers gar
risoned in the town.
Lieutenant H.. to whom the criti-
cism applied fairly well, though it
was not addressed to him, rose in
dignantly, and turning to the stu
dent, who bore the sobriquet 1.-The
Rat" exclaimed in loud voice,
do you venture to intrude your
uncalled for advice upon me?"
Put the cap on, since it seems to
fit you" was the sarcastic answer,
and the result pistol duel the next
day, in which Lieutenant H was
killed.
The Rat was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment in fortified
town. Three of these he actually
spent in the fortress, the restriction
of his liberty consisting in the me-
cessity of being home as early as Q
p. Man event that, to the best of
my knowledge, had rarely, if ever,
occurred during his university ca
reer before the fatal duel. But the
remainder of the sentence was remit
ted, as usual in such cases, "by the
grace of his majesty" The punish.
ment of the seconds in the tragic af-
fair was merely nominal, and as re-
CARDS The Rat, he returned to 1iber-
ty as boisterous and as ready as ever
to back his words with sword or pis-
tol.-Pall Mall Gazette.

in bed, thus dispensing with the at
tendant fatigue of holding a heavy
book" Why go to all this trouble
and expense? Why not buy from
the publisher copy of book be-
fore it is stitched for binding? In
this way handful of pages can be
taken up at time, and they are so
light that it would be no effort for
the weakest invalid to hold them.
Another advantage of these IN
stitched sheets is that oil the family
can read the book ut the some time
Let one get the start and the others
can follow on. I gave some of these
unstitched pages to friend once,
and she was delighted with the ar
rangement. The pages open out
readily and have little or no weight,
and then, she said, lit is so amusing
for all of Us to be reading the same
book at the same time" The sug-
gested invalids' library would be
expensive, and do not think that
it would be as practical as the plan
that I propose.-Critic.

Coveut Garden Market.
How many flowers this morn
ing?"
Twenty tons.
This seems large order for cut
flowers, but it represents the guam
tity sent off by one steamer during
the season from the isles of Seilly.
At the busiest time this will be re-
peated three times week for weeks
in succession, and occasionally 80
tons have been sent at one time.
The question who was the first ex.
porter from Scilly to Covent Garden
is difficult to answer satisfactorily,
but the trade has assumed proper
tons which its originator could not
have dreamed Of When he looked
around his garden and picked o few
handfuls of flowers with the inten-
tion of sending them to market as
an experiment he little thought
that within 20 years the flower trade
would be tho most prosperous trade
which had ever been known in Sicily.
Now every farmer is a grower of

and almost every individual house.
holder, if he can get a garden, is
one. say if he can get a garden,
for in Scilly every available piece of
ground is used as a garden, and if
from any cause one is given up a
number of would be tenants apply
to the lord proprietor for it. Some
times a piece of farm may be di-
vided up into gardens, and those
who are fortunate enough to get a
portion Immediately set to work and
plant hedges of veronica, escallonia
or euonymus, or put up wooden
fences at stated distances apart to
make shelter for the flowers that are
to come.
In Scilly it would be hopeless for
any one to think of growing flowers
unless he had first provided shelter
for them, for every wind sweeps the
islands, and protection from storms
is absolutely necessary. On the 9th
er hand--and this no doubt is the Sc
cret of the success with which the
flowers are grown there-the equa-
bility of the temperature is remark
able, severe frost being almost un-
known. The flower gardens divid-
ed into these squares by the hedges
have quaint and pleasing appear
ance. AS rule, each square patch
is devoted to one variety of flower,
though most of the larger growers
have many squares of each sort, es-
peoially of the older kinds, such as
Scilly white, soleil d or, ornatus, etc.
The flower season begins about
Christmas, when a few small con-
signments find their way into the
markets and are usually sold at good
prices, especially if the French f1ow-
ers have not yet made an appear
ance. From this time up to the end
of May flowers in larger or smaller
quantities are sent by every steam
or, the busiest time being, as rule,
during March and April. Besides
the narcissi and daffodils, marquee
rites, gladioli, arum lilies, the scarlet
anemone fulgeus, white single stocks
and wallf1owers are grown in large
quantities. The white and yellow
marguerite bushes attain dimensions
which would astonish people. who
grow them in pots under glass. st.
