IMPERIAL TAXES VERSUS DEMOCRATIC TAXES.
Despotic government based on force is the
most costly kind on earth. For example, to
cover the pay of the officers alone in conquer
ing foreign territory and peoples, the Nc
Kinley government has appropriated for the
fiscal year S6 829, 800. 1t takes 81, ,684 900 more
for officers on the retired list. 100000 for
Communication quarters for commissioned OFF,
GERS, another S 100000 for travel allowence of
officers and 81, ,SOO, 900 for travel allowances of
men on discharge: The collosal war debts Of
Europe show how imperialism costs, how mil
itarism costs, how crown colonies and imper-
ial subjects cost to subjugate and hold and
rule; Blue Earth's imperialistic war tax at 81
per head is S1440O0 per annum. How does
compare with the ordinary peace taxes
paid to support democratic and republican
institutions? The last published report of
the state auditor, pages 1865 show that Blue
Earth taxes to support state, county, school
and township governmenton the peace basis

Other Ttnts Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 Tt is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as a gem of tich velyety blue in color," observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. "As a matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues. Tn Ceylon, for in> stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft yelyety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost taultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transversely, but having bit of fine blue tint on the under point. Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the pe.st ten years. The American gems are light blue. blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have SC far never been discovered in any part of this countr~ Washington Stars s,rest Honor For German Crs wn Prince.

Years ago I was stand ing beside a gun at state muster at Augusta, when salute to the gov" ernor, who had just come on the field. was being fired. The cannon used was of the old-fashioned kind, and 1t was orematurely discharged, with the -s- sult that the index finger of the right hand of the man ramming the load home was blown off. The shock, to- gether with the Judgement of flying particles of powder, had the effect of iriving the blood back from the wound, during which fragment of time the injured man calmly examined hts mangled hand; but when the blood did come back 1t came with a rush, anc fairly bubbled out in torrent. The mans calmness left him as if by magic at the sight of the blood, and With loud scream he keeled over in dead faint. They used to tell a story there of two men who were working on op- posite sides of a buzz saw.
