The Metamorphosis of HOG.

"You can talk all you want to about
your queer names, but I've got. one
that caps them all" said well-known
railroad man who just returned from
a trip in the southern part of the State.
''This mans name is Thing, ard he's
a preacher, too. He is called Every
Thing, Any Thing and sometimes any
old thing, but he bears it all with a
patient shrug.
The way he got his name is rather
amusing. He lives near Zumbrota, in
Goodhue County. When he was youth
and his name was handed to him it
was 'Hog'-yes, spelled the same way,
and also pronounced that way. After
he engaged upon his ministerial duties
he did not care to be called a hog, SO
he asked that his name be changed.
He appealed to the District Court, and
the Judge asked him what name he pre-
ferred. He replied, saying anything
would do. Therefore, they gave him
the name of Thing, and it Is his for
keeps. He is the pastor of pretty lit
tie white church, with green blinds, and
everyone that knows him says he Is a
good Thing. duluth News Tribune.

Special Taxes in France.

In France doors and windows are
taxed in over 100000 houses and re-
turns made a few years ago showed
that the amount received from such
taxation was just about half as much
as was received from the land tax.
Every railway ticket in France is taxed
and, in fact, in that country almost ev-
erything of any value or of money-pro-
ducing power is taxed, either by CEN
trail or local authorities or both. Every
thing that goes into any city or town
in the shape of wine, fruit, poultry, fish
or any kind of food or drink is taxed
as it enters.
Any person placing tables, plants or
flowers in front of his establishment or
an awning over doors or windows is
taxed for so doing. The town authori-
ties of Bonn, in Germany, have decreed
that every projecting window or bal
cony shall be taxed 80 marks, or about
f2 10 shillings, year.
