The Vicomte de Montfort, deputy for
Yvetot, has suggested military tax upon
every alien residing in France. This tax
is to be increased in the case of any
aliens exercising a salaried or patented
profession at the rate of per cent, pay
aple monthly, and based upon the military
service from which a foreigner is dis
pensed. The product of these taxes would
be devoted to the needy wives and fami-
lies of those under arms.

How Money Is wasted.

The owners of the building known as
the Corcoran Art gallery in Washington
want to sell it to the government to be
used by the court of claims They want
to sell it to the government because they
can get about twice as much for 1t, in all
probability, as they could get if they were
to put il up at auction or offer IL al private
sale. There are those who think that $780,
600 would be a fair price for it, and others
think if there were a boom in Washington
real estate it might bring 500, 900.
1t seems the Senate has agreed to pay
SS25,00O for IT, For that sum the govern
ment could purchase a superb site and
erect a building in every respect suitable
for the court of claims. Why then, does
the Senate wish to pay for the Corcoran
art gallery such an enormous price?
Senator Vest protested against the SEN
ate's action with great vigor. He said
the building was an old firetrap. not at all
suitable for the purpose intended, and that
the price was exorbitant. He declared 1t
was an outrage to pay $21 foot for prop
erty when property nearby could be had
for $l.75 per foot. Not more than a year
ago the property was offered for $4,000
less than is now asked for it, Mr.. Vest
declared that lit is too much of a fash
ion in this district. when property cannot
be used for any other purpose, to unload
it upon the government"
1t doesn't seem to be matter of much
consequence 70 senators what the govern
ment has to pay for what II needs. As the
money dosn't come out of their pockets
they don't seem to care whether unstable
property is unloaded on the government
or not.

with Tongue or Tooth.

In the county Jail yesterday afternoon,
says the Cleveland Leader, John Atkin-
son, the alleged robber and 'par' of
O'Neill. who is now serving a long term in
the penitentiary for one of the most dar-
ing "hold-ups" in the history of the city,
did not know that the Leader reporter was
a newspaper man, consequently talked
more freely than is his won't The con-
versation drifted from one subject to an
other, and all the while Deputy Barry was
playing with the combination lock on the
door of the 'bull pen"
That's pretty good lock-" said Atkin
son.
Atkinson smiled. THAT lock on a safe
would be easy" said he.
Come out and let us see how you would
go about anything like that" said the dep
uty, becoming interested. Atkinson hest
tated for several minutes, saying that he
could not work that combination be-
cause it did not have the same backing as
a safe lock. Deputy Barry insisted upon
being shown how 1t was done. Atkinson
got down upon his knees and went to
work. He kneeled as close to the lock as
possible, and put his tongue upon the
metal ring around the knob of the COM
bination Then he slowly turned the knob
of the combination. Deputy Barry watch
ed him intently, and suddenly stopped At
kinson in his work. He had made the
first move in the combination correctly
and the deputy thought this enough. At
kinson was willing to stop and then ex-
planned his work =.
You perhaps know" said Atkinson,
that the nerves in the end OF the tor que
are very delicate and sensitive. Well,
when the combination gets to the right
point, the minutest click is at once sent
to the brain. That's how we know we are
right
Deputy Clark was astounded. William
Clark, the alleged murderer, was stand
ing near at the time. He seemed to be
perfectly familiar with Atkinson's meth
DDS, and Immediately proposed another
and better method. He said; ut is much
easier if you have darning needle, place
1t on the tumblers, and put the other end
in hollow tooth. If there is a nerve in
the tooth, the first click, no matter how
slight, sends a thrill through your head"
i've tried that scheme, too said At
kinson, land have found it to be a good
one.'
