In the matter of taxation the Isle OF
Man is unique. There is no income tax,
no succession duties chargeable against
the estates of deceased persons, no
highway or turnpike tolls. Roads are
maintained by the revenue from two
sources-a small tax upon every wheel
and shod hoof and n levy upon every
male inhabitant, who must give days
cash. There are no stamp duties ON
receipts, checks, promissory notes, ETC.;
in fact, stamps are used only for post
age.-London Standard.

A GRAIN OF RICE.
A Few Statistics illustrating How
Figures Do Not Lie.

A Few statistics illustrating How
Figures Do Not Lie.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat.
"If a fellow throws an old shoe filled
with rice after you when you get mar
ried this winter, young man, go pick
every grain of it up" said a rice en-
thusiast. for there is a fortune in it.
1 was just thinking to-day about the
vast amount of wealth that has been
wasted in this way, and it is simply
alarming when you come to think of
it. 1 went to the convention of rice
men at Crowley recently, and 1 learned
a few things about rice that 1 never
knew before. Why. the possibilities Of
a grain of rice will actually make a
fellows head swim. Here is grain
which l have been carrying in my
pocket since the convention, purely for
illustrative purposes.
Il was reading in the Plaquemines
Protector that one grain of rice would
bring in the first year sixty punches
of rice, and that each bunch contained
250 grains, which would give a total
yield of $1,000 grains for the first year.
Now, this is no small thing, when you
come to think of it. Suppose we plant
the $4,000 grains the second year, on
the same basis we would have yield
of 225, 100000 grains, which is 10000
times $4,000. Now, the yield during the
third year would amount to $4,000 times
225, ,O00, 900, on the same basis of COM
putation, which would be 1876, 900, 900
grains of rice.
II was reading in another paper pub
lished in the rice section that there are
probably 10000 grains of rice to the
pound, but this is an approximation.
Adopting it as correct, at the end Of
the third year one grain of rice will
produce S37, 100000 pounds of rice. and
the rice mathematician, allowing 162
pounds for barrel of rice, figures that
this will amount to 2,0SS, 1888 barrels. So
you can see that ! am actually carry
ing a fortune around here in my vest
pocket, and there is plenty of room left,
too, for such other things as 1 may
want TO put into my pocket.
I'm these figures I have made no al
lowance for those things which some
times happen to any kind OF seed that
may be sown, but there is a good les
son in the calculation at that. When
we come to think about the number Of
grains Of rice that have been wasted
in the happy practice of tossing an old
shoe after the newly married couple,
we are almost shocked at the eXtrava-
gance of the world. The rice thrown
away since the custom was first
launched would have saved the lives of
all the people who have ever starved to
death since the world began, If it had
been allowed to reach it's full multi
plying possibilities. So 1 say, young
man, when the old shoe is thrown after
you, go pick every grain of rice up,
settle down where rice will grow, and
get rich"
The Savannah morning news., 1902-01-05

They also measure the quality of the
voice, it's shrillness, or softness, or
strength. Contrary to human analogy,
if the little feathered prima donna
opens it's mouth too wide it receives a
bad mark therefor. If birdy does not
sing at all, why, of course, 1t is gone"
The averages of the various marking
points having been taken, the proud
and successful owner is presented with
sundry medals and buttons to COM
memorate the achievements of his pets,
There are two gold medals valued at
$25 and SIS, one of silver valued at $40,
and a dozen buttons awarded at The
competition.
The young birds Matched last Spring
sing best from now until April Then
the mating season comes and the
males are said to throw discipline and
training to the winds and sing in the
most crazy fashion. Amy twisted song
that pops into their little heads is
flung to their sweethearts.
Another period when the voice is still
is the moulting time. This occurs in
birds of maturity. Mr.. Kaiser says that
keeping a bird in the light day and
night leads him to sing himself out in
a few months. The birds should have
an eight-hours day as we'll as car
penters. They should be kept in the
dark at night. If the owner desires
little song service or an act or two OF
bird opera when he comes home in the
evening he should cover up his canary
during part of the day and it will feel
fresh to sing for its master at nightfall,
After the annual exhibition is over
Mr.. Kaiser leaves the birds in the
light about six hours every day. He
does this to keep the singers in strong
voice for customers. Were he the
owner of a single pet it colud enjoy
the whole day as other birds do. He is
a firm believer in keeping the birds
protected from the light at night, how
ever contending that they need their
nest as much as other beings and that
the preservation of their voices de-
pends upon it as well as their health.
He says another thing: Don't feed
and some egg will do, but not pork or
"any old thing" 1t makes the pet too
fat and obesity is fatal to vocal energy
In the Hartz Mountains nearly every
family raises canaries. Some or them
raise them as business and produces
300 or 400 annually, which they may
sell for 81 each. But all families how
ever poor, raise 20 or 30 on the side, so
to speak, simply to help out the fam
lily exchequer. The woman of the
house will sit patiently presiding over
the stocking machine, at the same time
keeping an ear attentive to the at
tempts of the youthful birds at her ell
bow to sing. Teaching the canaries is
a science One master even holds
stick threateningly over his charges
to warn them from false notes and
uncertain tunes. The bird business in
Germany has reached large propor-
tions One bird store in Leipzig en-
ploys fifty clerks.
