Cracow Taxes Too High.

The excessive taxes laid on house
rents by the Austrian government are
slowly but surely bringing their nat
ural fruits all through the country, but
especially in the large towns. For ev-
cry 100 kronen ($20) Of rent the owner
must pay 4S kronen ($9.65). At pres
ent there are 147 houses in Cracow to
be sold by auction because the taxes
cannot be paid. If one counts about
$500 houses, at the rate Of fifty inhab-
itants a house. this will make almost
10 per cent, and many houses have
more than 100 inhabitants. Further
more, the government has raised the
duties on sales from 2 per cent of the
value Of each house to 4 per cent. No
wonder, II, notwithstanding the heavy
penalties in case of detection, owners
defend themselves by putting the rents
in their official reports at lower figures
than they really are.-Chicago News.

Popular Educa tlOn In the South.

Popular education comes on slowly
in the south. Even in Georgia, the en-
pire state of the south, the showing is
not one to be proud of. DR.. Curry, the
representative of the Peabody and Sla-
ter funds, was allowed the other day,
to make a plea before the Georgia Leg
islature for education and for the rec
ognition of the colored race as a class
capable of being lifted up by education.
He told the Georgia lawmakers that
wealth does not consist in gold, marble
and limestone; that II the state Is to
grow great the children must be edu-
Gated and ignorance must be driven
out. Massachusetts,. he showed, gives
$50 to the education Of her children
where Georgia gives $3.50. Yet Massa-
chusetts has neither gold, nor marble.
nor limestone, as Georgia has, but her
wealth is greater. She has done more
for invention, discovery, science, and
art than Georgia has done, and the
reason OF It is that Massachusetts has
educated her children. And so he
concluded that the paramount issue
is education, the ratio between gold
and silver being insignificant compared
with the ratio of those who can read
the Bible and those who can not.-1n-

RahY Whala Is Thriving.

A baby whale, two and one-half feet
in length, was washed ashore in the
breakers a few miles south Of the Cliff
House recently, and was picked UP by:
c. Baker. S. Roberts and George
Whistler. who were walking on the
beach. The little whale was lively and
in good condition, except for a slight
brlise on the side Of it's head and in
half an hour the young neE had him.
in receptacle filed with salt water.
The little fellow was brought to this
city, and thrived so well that in a..
short time, to the amazerent of his
captors, he had grown to length Of
nearly four feet. He is one of the blue
species, and blows vigorously most of.
the time he is thrashing around in
his tank. Seafaring men who looked
upon the little whale said they had
never seen so diminutive specimen
of his species before, but that he was.
nevertheless whale. His tail is shape
ly and is already avoided by the young
men who have taken it upon them
selves to raise the embryo leviathan tor
adult size-San Francisco Chronicle.

of Alaska, and extend eastward along.

found a few miles inland at Vain

WORTH FORTUNES.

Mention 81 Some Of tho Worlds Cost
Hest Pictures.
''The Anssdei Madonna" by Raphael.
holds the distinction of being the most
expensive picture in the world It was
purchased ont Of parliamentary grants
from the Duke Of Marlborough for
1885,, 900, which Is equal to $50 per
square inch. In repose, oolorlng, draw
Ing and technical achisvement-it 10
one Of the finest of Raphaels paint
|fhgs, but there vas much dispute con-
corning the advisability Of the English
nation paying fer it such an unprece-
dented sum. Aonther costly purchase
from the Duke of Marlborough's COL
lection was the portrait Of Charles +.
by Van Dyck. This picture was sold
for a pretty sum by the parliament
after the death of Charles l., and the
parliament Of 1885 paid $S7,5oo to get
It back. The Family of Darius" said
by Ruskin to be "the most precious
Paul Veronese in the world" was
bought by the London National gallery
a few ears ago for $6s,250. Terberg's
THE Peace of Munster" sold for $44,-
900, which was about $120 per square
inch. LA Verge au Panier."' by Cor
reggie, sold as long ago as 1925 for
$4,000, a sum which it was said at the
time would cover this little panel with
sovereigns 81 times over. Other pic
lures for which fortunes have been
paid are the PORTRAIT of Man." and
Portrait of an Old Lady," by Rem
brandt, for $6s,5O0, and ."The Two Am
bassadors," by Holbein; Admiral
Pareja," by Velasquez, and can Italian
Nobleman," by Moroni. For these
three pictures was paid the princely
sum of $125,000.
