"They say that France has taken
a strenuous step to encourage
matrimony. Bachelors are to be
taxed from the ages of 20 to 20,
when they become exempt. From
20 to %, young men must pay So
a month for the privilege ofsingle
blessedness. From 25 to 80, he
pays $40 a month, from 80 to 80
$40 a month, 80 to 40 $50, enough
to support a wife in comfort.
From 40 to 70 the tax decreases,
when only IS cents a month is
charged While this plan to en-
courage matrimony may seem
rather severe on the lords OF ere
alton it is but fair to say that as
they claim that they never re-
main unmarried because nc one
is willing to wed them, they sure
ly cannot blame fate. 1t is also
only fair and just that women
should be exempt from taxation,
as it is generally conceded that
they cannot elect or WOO their
life partner and can't we'll help
themselves. The taxation of
bachelors may do very well in
France. but would surely be hard
on Americans, where the average
man barely earns enough to
make tongue and buckle meet un
til he is past so. But worst of all
would be a decided encourage
ment for the lazy and INDECENT
bachelor to tie Oh to a wife who
will support him, because she has
to choose between that and starva
ton. Then too, he would be ex-l
empt from taxation. Sunny France
may be up TO date in style, but We
trust Americans will have the
good sense to refrain from follow
ing her in the bachelor taxation
business.

REBUILDING OF MONUMENTS
sIgnOr BOni Finds Most of Ancient
Work of Italy in DepIOra-
BILE Condition.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Discussing signor
Bonis work in connection with the recon-
struction Of monuments in Venice, a dis
patch to the Times from that city by way
OF London says the church Of st. Mark, the
doges palace. the procurate Vecchie, the
Zecca and the churches OF Santa Maria
Gloriosa, Del Frari and SIS. Giovanni e
Paolo need prompt attention II eatastrophes
are to be averted.
In st. Marks there. is a crack in the
great arch Of the Apocalypse and the arch
says downward almost a foot. 1t is ex-
pected that 1t will be necessary to remove
all the mosaics Of the arch and that the
brick wall behind will have to be more
soiidiy constructed.
In the doge's palace diagonal LESSONS are
visible and It looks as though the brick
work was tumbling outward. The corre-
spondent says that this is not surprising
seeing that one OF the chief internal walls
was cut through in order to make room
for an elevator for the heavier books in
the Biblioteca Marciana.
In the procurate Vecchie there are
serious cracks caused probably by y the
wholesale demolition OF internal walls and
the stacking OF heavy goods in the rooms
above the colonnade.
The correspondent comments on the
folly of the civil engineering corps, which
is preparing TO remove the Biblioteca
Marciana to the zecca. The latter building
is already in a rickety condition from top
to bottom.
The correspondent says 1t is probable that
the place will tumble in before the library
can be opened.
Regarding the general subsistence OF
Venetian soil Signor Boni believes that the
land has sunk at the rate of about three
| and a half inches in a century.
