Taxation In France.

Taxation in France is most thorough
and complete. Almost everything of
any value or of money-producing pow
err is taxed in France. If saloon
keeper or restauratcur places tables,
chairs, plants, flowers or statuary in
front OF his establishment, or an avn
ing over his front door or windows;
IL "a merchant, a secondhand furni-
ture dealer, grocer, greengrocer or
flower vendor displays goods in front
Of his establishment--he pays the city
tax or rent for the use Of the side
walk or the space in the air occupied
by the awning. Everything that comes
into the city in the shape of wine,
fruit, poultry, fish, any kind of food
or drink, is taxed at the city gates.
All banks, stocks and credits are taxed.
Money unproductive is not taxed, and
no special effort is made to get at it.
The principle pervading the tax sys-
tern is to make everything pay that Is
productive.-NewY York Press.

Notes from the Paris Exposition.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, Of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Class 70, at the
Paris International Exposition. where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
is used in every country on the globe.
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that It
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction. efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
tion to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction Of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action Of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago.
where Singer machines received 54
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds OF sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States"

men went into Dave Arronsons Sec
