Of course, into the pockets of the man,
darins. The unfortunate farmers are
the people who suffer by this method
Of collecting the tax, as they are made
to pay not only the price OF the grain,
but the eXtravagent cost of transit to
the capital and the fees incidental to
its expedition. A large sum OF money
is in fact, squandered by these provin-
ces in transporting the rice to Pekin,
everybody being concerned in making
as much out of it as possible. The
total amount of grain tax paid into
the provincial treasures is estimated
at G,562 600 taels, of which sum four
dfths reach Pekin.
The salt supply is administered
by the division of the country
into seven principal districts, each of
which possesses the sole monopoly
within its boundaries and it is not
permissible to dispose Of any salt out
side Of the district in which it has
been produced except under specIal
circumstances. Everybody is at liberty
to manufacture as much salt as he
Dleases, but he is obliged to sell it
either to the government officials or to
licensed salt merchants. The general
system is, however, for the officials
of the salt department to purchase
the salt from the producers and sell
it to the licensed merchants at a re-
munerat.ve price

SIX CROPS IN ONE YEAR.

South Carolina is becoming famous
for its extra crops. Its newspapers
have often reported most creditable
farming experiments. Now comes a
report that Mr.. S. NJ. Key, a noted
farmer in Beaufort county, had actual
Iy grown six crops in one year on the
same land, A letter in the Charleston
News and Courier tells the story and it
is interesting On a poor, light piece
of land he raised "a fine crops of oats
averaging 80 bushels to the acre
planted it in corn in May, making 30 to
50 bushels to the acre, at the same time
growing a full crop of green peas be-
tween the corn rows; then planted a
crop of cowpeas, which yielded 10 or Il
bushels per acre; and now has growing
second crop of cowpeas,' which will be
harvested in time to make way for
crops of turnips and cabbages on the
same ground-making six crops grown
on the same ground in one year"

CHINESE REVENUES.
They Are Paid in All Sorts Of Articles
Rice a Legal Tender.

The sources of revenue of the Chi
nese government may be grouped under
the following headings: Land tax,
grain tax, salt monopoly, foreign mar
thine customs, likin (inland transit
dues, native customs and land trans
fer fees. licenses, special levies etc A
vast amount of peculation is said to go
on in the Yang-tse provinces, which
show a greatly diminished revenue
from this source. The officials pretend
that the land is still suffering from
the devastation created by the TAPPING
rebellion, whereas almost the whole Of
it has been reclaimed and is yielding
abundant crops, That is, of course,
more serious form of embezzlement
than that tacitly encouraged by the
central authorities, as it deprives the
imperial government Of the legitimate
tax
Two provinces, Kiang-Su and Che
Kiang, pay tribute in rice. The local
officials, however. in order to make as

The storm which began in the West

broke at Galveston and from thence
proceeded nOrthwardly, finally blowing
itself out on the great lakes, was more
remarkable, declares the Chicago

its vast sweep and the destruction OF

phenomenal.

degree Of west longitude, in the neigh
