FRENCH INCOME TAX.

The New seheme-IIow the Percentage
IL Settled.
Some particulars have been made
public OF the ineome-tax scheme which
will be submitted to the chamber OF
deputies by NJ Peytral. the minister OF
finance. says the London Post. The
tax. It was known. was to have for its
basis the external signs OF wealth"
The rent paid by the taxpayer will be
the principal point taken into consid-
Grafton by the taxgatherers, but such
indications as the number OF servants
kept. carriages, horses. autocars,
yachts, pet dogs, parks, gardens, ponds.
and lakes will not be overlooked The
percentage Is TO be settled yearly by
the financial bill. The minister OF
finance proposes to fix 1t the first year
at 2lA per cent ON incomes estimated
according to the foregoing Indications.
The mode OF computation in Paris will
be as follows. There are fye classes.
represented by figures 4, AZ. 5, and
10. The figure I in Paris represents
the lowest class. with rental of 500
francs. This sum multiplied by 4 gives
the taxable income as 1000 francs.
But the principle adopted is that every
one whose income does not exceed
900 francs is exempt from income
tax. The progressive character of the
tax is arranged thus: Assuming the
I income TO be, say, 5000 francs, no
charge is made on the first 1000 francs.
I the second 1000 francs is assessed at
! IL per cent, and all above these 1000
francs at the full rate Of 21z per cent
/ There is also provision for a rebate
| of one-tenth to every family having
two children. and this rebate increases
in proportion to the number of chill
dren. But no rebate is proposed under
I this head from any income exceeding
! 90. 900 francs. The scheme strikes one
/ simply as another tax on Injuries
! and in that respect it will doubtless
be agreeable to the radicals and So
cialists.

Excavation around the base of a col

recently, marking the spot where the
body of julius Caesar was cremated,
has resulted in new discovery. A
heap of ashes, carefully covered over
with bricks, were unearthed. The
ashes are considered to be without

No Profanity.

Americans boast little over what
they have. There is one country in
the world that has good right to re-
ioice over what it has not. Japan is
destitute of one particular form of evil.
Its authorities never have to put down
profane swearing There is, says the
evangelist, no oath in the Japanese
language-no word that is equivalent
IN an oath. Not only is there no ma
tive word in which profanity may take
refuge. but there is no imported word.
During the past ten years foreigners
have added thousands of new words to
the language, but not one profane word
has been incorporated. In this respect
Japan is believed to stand alone among
the nations.

THERE MAY BE A CLASH.
Board of Control Committees Are
Stealing Thunder.

There is liable to he a clash between
the supply committee of the board of
control and the special committee re-
Gently appointed to investigate the
question of coal supply.
At last nights meeting of the supply
committee it was decided to recon-
mend at the meeting of the board Oct.
10 that coal be delivered at the school
buildings between the hours of $50 a.
m. and $3.50 p m, during which time
the principals would be in the buildings
and able to receipt for deliveries.
As the action taken by the supply
committee is one of the points being
considered by the special investigation
committee, now tardy in its report, it
is inferred that the latter will take en-
ception to having some of its thunder
stolen.
