New Taxes i'm France.

Frenchmen. and Parisians in particu-
lar, are much concerned in the sweeping
changes in taxation which have marked
the birth Of the new, century, says a
Paris correspondent. While no octroi tax
will in future be imposed on wine, beer,
perry and cider and such like beverages,
yet those who drink alcoholic liquors will
have to pay more for them-Frenchmen
for their absinthe and brandy and the
Englishmen in France fop their whisky;
the latter drink has been increased to the
extent of sd bottle.
No octroi tax will be paid on non-in-
toxicating beverages entering Arbris. a
small city in the department Of Jura, but
any citizen importing piano must pay
s.. It seems that the unmusical lnhab-
itants have demanded the change.
