The grapes were red. and the apple; green

WHALE BONE SUMMERHOUSE.
Novel Structure Erected on SuiIi-
vans Island.


Capt. John II. Devereaux has refused
an offer of $500 for the jawbone of a
whale which was killed in the harbor of
Charleston, S. c., about fourteen years
ago. The jaws measure II feet each,
and are used as a grand entrance to a
summerhouse on Sullivans island made
Of the bones from the whale. The house
is prettily arranged, and vines which coy
er it give it a most handsome appearance.
Tea was served in this little house the
other afternoon, and the fact was brought
out then that Capt. Devereaux had re-
fused the offer for the home. The whale
was considered the largest of its kind
that ever drifted to Southern waters.
Capt. DevereauX is the supervising ar
chltect for the government at Charles
ton, and it was his idea to build the ar
Dor with the most artistic effect Back
Of the main entrance the ribs have been
put up as a covering and support for
the vines, and the large bone of the
whales tail is used as the throne seat in
the arbor
The bones are thoroughly bleached and
SuperStltlOuS negroes who have to pass

BREWERS ASK RELIEF.
Reduction of the Tax on Beer will
Be Attempted at the
Coming Session.

Washington, D. c., Oct ia reduc
ton OF the beer tax will probably be a
part Of the Republican programme at the
next session of Congress. The ways and
means committee was authorized at the
last session to sit during the recess and
recommend notifications of the war rev
enue law 1t is generally understood
that the beer men, who have been paying
about $30.O00,O0O per year toward the
cost Of the Spanish war and its cOnSe
quences, in addition to their old rate OF
payment. will get some concessions in the
new legislation.
The tax on beer actually collected by
the treasury was SCI, 673, 3O1 in the fiscal
year 1899 and $72,762, 07O in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900, without tax
ing special taxes into account. The
brewers have been protesting all along
that the sum assessed was an excessive
amount to take from one industry, and
they are likely to get some relief this
winter.
The entire increase in taxes made by
the war revenue act which advanced the
rate from 81 per barrel to $1.S5, will not
be wiped out Such change as is made
will probably be in the form of increas
ing the rebate. If the rebate, for in
stance, were made 80 per cent. of the
tax, instead of ~ per cent, the net
TAX WOulu ldll u pItO per UdIIel. lit
number of barrels on which the tax was
paid last year was 39,33O,S49 At the
rate of $1.4O per barrel, the revenue
would amount to about $50, 100000, and
the brewers would be relieved of ST.,
100000 Of the taxes paid last year.
Secretary Gage is not likely to recon-
mend the abolition Of all the war-rev-
enue taxes, nor even of all those outside
Of beer. The stamp taxes on proprie-
tary articles have proved a source of
considerable annoyance and have not
yielded much revenue. The receipts I'M
der schedule B fell from 1929, 1877 in
1899 to $4,54S,2 83 in 1900. A deter
mined effort by the druggists and others
interested throughout the country might
secure the repeal of this entire schedule
The chances are not quite so favorable
for the repeal of the other stamp taxes.

Crooked Houses Built in Holland.

There are many buildings in cities in
Holland which were originally and I'M
mistakably built out of the straight. For
Doelen, where the delegates to the peace
conference stayed, there is an extension
being built to one OF the churches, and al
though the walls are not yet completed,
they lean outward more than twelve
inches. Another instance Of this is found
in some of the corner houses, whose walls
lean out over each street. In many cases
new houses are evidently put up to match
the houses alongside. Strangely enough,
though, there are comparatively few
cases on record of collapse.-Pearson s

Democracy's Trouble with Farmers.
Mr.. Bryan and his followers are hav-
ing a hard time to convince the farm
ers that they are worse off in 1900 with
sound money and protection than they
were in 1896, with a free trade law in
operation and the shadow Of tree silver
impending.
A general comparison of articles of
farm consumption and farm production
between the years 1896 and 1900 COM
pIetely disproves the Bryan theory.
In the item of farm animals alone,
the farmers are worth five hundred
million dollars more than they were in
Democratic days. The table printed

ture, is worth study:
