TAXATION IN EUROPE.
The italian is the Most Burdened
Subject in the Old World.

/
1t has been said that when man
| is unhappily circumstanced he derives
sort of grim satisfaction from the
| knowledge that there is somewhere
another unfortunate whose case is
even worse than his own. If this al
| legation be we'll founded the British
taxpayer, who has been Tuning and
| fretting recently on account Of the in.
Icreased burdens placed upon him by
the budget, should feel greatly com
forted when he learns that he is not
/. taxed anything like so heavily as other
| Europeans.
| Take the Italians, for example. Their
accumulated taxes are positive night
mare. An Italian pays away in taxes
| % per cent of his earnings, com
pared with the Britisher's 9.3. The
population of Italy is 100000 less
than that of Great Britain, and yet
hte income tax in the former country
is made to produce as much as in the
United kingdom.
| An even more striking comparison
! is that between Russia and Italy. Rus
STA has population of 93,000,O00;
Italy has. only 100000, and yet the
total amount of the income tax is the
same in both countries. italy has a
debt of e500,000,OO0, which is growing
at the rate of G14,000,000 q year. The
only way the Italians can escape the
taxation is to emigrate mad this they
are doing in considerable numbers.
France has G20,000,000 more taxes
than Britain. Each irhabitant pays
lis. a year more than anyone lucky
enough to be living in the United
kingdom. Moreover, an Englishman's
earnings are greater than those of a
Frenchman The latter devotes 1876
per cent of his income to maintaining
his country.
The German is much better off than
his Gallo neighbor He pays in taxes
nearly 80 shilling a year less, or only
10.4 per cent. of his earnings. An
other proof Of the prosperity of Great
Britain is that, whereas each subject
of the Fatherland contributes 6 a
year less to the revenue than an Eng
lishman, he really parts with ! per
cent. more of his wages.
Hollanders are more heavily taxed
than Britishers. Substantial taxes are
| imposed on such necessaries as sugar,
salt, soap and beef. The result is
that each resident in the country OF
canals must needs set aside 15.1 PER
cent of his income to meet the re-
quirements of the national expend1-
| ture.-London Mail.

She Had TWO Voices.

Eyes" said the old man with the
long-drawn sigh, 81 am the man who
married telephone girl on account Of
her voice. / used to talk with her
over the wire, and the way she said
'bye-bye' made me fall in love with
her and propose"
"Well?" was queried.
Eyes, it was that 'bye-bye' that
brought about our marriage, but our
happiness was brief. The way she
said shut up within three months
after marriage tied me up in knots,
and l gave her $4,000 to let go. Tele-
phone is a mighty good thing, and we
couldn't get along without it, but them
'bye-bye' girls don't play it on this
old man again-not for Joseph"

THE CARE OF GEMS.
Diamonds Require Gentle Treatment to
Continue Sound and Brilliant.

Diamonds Require Gentle Treatment to
Continue Sound and Brilliant.
The best of all jewel boxes are not
the satin-lined, velvet-colored ones in
which the jewellers alluringly display
their wares, but alright cases simply
lined with wool. Even in such a recep.
tacle diamonds should be wrapped in
silversmith's tissue paper to keep them
of exquisite brilliancy.
Diamonds, in spite of their hardness,
must be treated with great care.
Though they can hardly be scratched
they, nevertheless, chip, and when
roughly used are easily loosened in
their setting, and fall out at the most
unexpected moment. When they are
sent to be cleaned the expert first
tests the settings, and then dips the
ring or pin repeatedly into little eau
de cologne. A powerful magnifying
glass is used to detect any foreign
bodies" in the setting, and an orna.
ment that has an accumulation of dust,
grease or soap on it's under side, a
blemish that is often noticeable in
rings, is dipped alternately in soapsuds
and eau de cologne, and a very fine
soft camel-hair brush pointed like a
pencil is employed to reach delicateEy
between the claws of the setting
When the jewel is thoroughly clean it
is buried in a jar of fine sawdust to
dry. This is all done after the gold or
silver mounting has been carefully
rubbed with jewelers. rouge, dried and
polished with a tiny chamois-covered
pad.
When diamonds and turquoises are
set together the most exquisite care is
taken that alcohol only is utilized with
whiting to clean both the setting and
the diamonds, and as little moisture as
possible is allowed to come near the
blue stones. If a turquoise has been
carelessly treated, and is turning green
from the effects of water, the cleaner
sets it to soak in stale beer which
treatment will frequently restore the
pure azure color. But old turquoises
that are nearly green have value all
their own.
Pearls require great deal of human
companionship, and that is why they
are SO constantly worn by their own
ers. When they are "sick" Ito use a
technical term they are given sun
baths and sometimes are sunk in the
sea in perforated caskets to be re-
stored to health and lustre. Pearls
held in a warm, dry hand and drawn
slowly backward and forward through
the half-closed member are benefited.
Some women have the pearls restrung
every season. and when the owner can
not arrange to wear a fine string Of
these gems at least once a fortnight
the cleaner lays them in cup of warm
-four or lukewarm fresh milk to keep
their skins in good order Experts test
real diamonds by touching them with
the tip of the tongue; diamonds are
icy cold; paste is not Real pearls they
can differentiate from false, it is said,
by the touch of their finger tips, for
the skin of the real pearl has feeling
peculiar to itself-London Express.
