HOW NATIONS MAKE MONEY.
Queer Methods OF Raising Revenue
Adopted In Some European
Countries.

The Russian government won a
unique reputation for enterprise when
it made a small fortune out of the
Crimean war. For months after the
end of the war cid iron. shot and shell
were picked up around Sabastopol. For
a time there was regular trade, thou
sands of tons of metal being sold. 1t
was too good a chance to be missed.
and the government stepped in be-
tween buyers and sellers with a tax of
u cents per hundredweight. When the
last shot had been picked up and dis
posed Of the treasury had reaped a
little harvest Of $4,000. says Youths
Companion.
Humorists have had a great deal to
say about the taxation of bachelors.
Such a tax would not be altogether
novel. It is already in operation in
Hesse There the government draws
a little extra revenue by taxing bach
elors 25 per cent. more than mar
ried men, The result of the law,
which was only enacted something

well-to-do bachelors have emigrated
TO Prussia.
Greece has found a way of raising
money on amusements without a di-
rect tax. The government has a mo-
nopoly in playing cards, and from this
source draws a considerable income.
Paris is glad to increase its revenue
by few dollars year by the eulti-
vation of a little stale orchard in
the Luxembourg gardens. just as it
takes its share of the profits of the
Eiffel tower.
To the snow of heaven the prince Of
Palermo owes most of his wealth. for

WHAT ARMY OFFICERS EAT.
The List Of Foods Includes some-
thing More Than the Mere
Necessaries of Life.

No one outside Of the army has any
idea of the variety Of commissary ar
ticles which are carried in the sub
sistence storehouses OF army posts.
The present extensive stock is grad
ual growth since 1866 when the old
army sutler was supplanted by the
post trader, who in turn was driven
out of the service by an exposure of
corruption and collusion which in
volved even the wife of cabinet Off
Ger and dragged the latter into re-
tirement, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
The post trader carried a few ar
ticles, which he sold to officers and
men at exorbitant prices, and one of
the choice government snaps" was
post leadership, for which men were
willing to pay large sums that they
might have the protection and license
of the government in robbing the
helpless army officers and soldiers of
remote frontier garrisons. The va
riety of the post traders stock was
as limited as its quality was indiffer-
ent.
When the post trader was banished
the subsistence department of the
army extended its system SO as to EN-
brace something besides the ration
which it purchased and issued to
troops. 1t began to keep such ar
ticles as smoked fish, sirups, canned
oysters and Holsters, jellies, jams,
-four, hams, coffee, candles and salt.
The list was meager one, but it
was the beginning Of an elaborate
system and an extensive stock. The
department has improved its supplies
year by year, keeping in mind the
needs and the desires of the enlisted
men, the officers and their families
These supplies are outside the regular
ration and are sold at contract prices
even to officers and men on the re-
tired list, provided they certify that
the supplies are intended for their
own consumption.
In the list of foods there are now
all kinds of canned and evaporated
fruits, canned vegetables, fish and
meats, four varieties of soup, four va
rieties of crackers, and. three varie-
ties of white sugar. There are all
kinds Of spices and seasonings. sauces
and iellies, among which are four va
rieties of pickles and two varieties
of table sauce. There are four brands
Of cigars and four varieties of smok-
ing tobacco, with other smoking ar
ticles and supplies. Sometimes these
varieties do not meet all the demands
of the army and additional kinds are
provided, but there is limit placed
on certain articles, and the depart
ment does not provide more than ten
varieties of cigars (none costing more
than six dollars per hundred, or $l2
in the open markeD, six varieties of
pickles or crackers, and five Of smok-
ing tobacco or soup.

CHAPTER XVI.
SAVED.

Frederick'S arrest had been conduct
ed so quietly that no hint of the mat
ter reached the village before the next
morning. Then the whole town broke
into uproar, and business was not only
suspended, but the streets and docks
overlooked with gesticulating men and
excited women, carrying on in every
corner and across innumerable door
steps the endless debate which such an
action on the part Of the police neces-
sarily opened
But the most agitated face, though
the stillest tongue, was not to be seen
in town that morning, but in little
cottage on an arid hill slope overlook
ing the sea. Here Sweetwater sat and
communed with his great monitor, the
ocean, and only from his flashing eye
and the firm set of his lips could the
mother of Sweetwater see that the
crisis of her sons life was rapidly ap-
| preaching and that on the outcome Of
this long brooding rested not only his
own self satisfaction, but the interests
of the man most dear to them.
] Suddenly from that far horizon upon
which Sweetwater's eye rested with a
look that was almost a demand came
an answer chat flushed him with Il
| hope as great as it was unexpected.
Bounding to his feet, he confronted
his mother with eager eyes and out
stretched hand.

Then he entered the carriage.
The solemn way in which Frederick
barred his head in acknowledgment of
this public recognition of the hold he
still retained on this one faithful heart
struck awe into the hearts of all who
saw it. So that the carriage rolled
off in silence, closing one of the most
thrilling and impressive scenes ever
