Even Family Secrets,

The inquisitorial proceedings of in
come-tax collectors in Austria are a
source of great annoyance to self-re-
specting citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do even more than, that.
They attempt to check the income Of
man by finding out what is sent him
by rail. The inspector of taxes at
Myslenice, in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for GER
tain time in order to examine all par
GELS sent there or thence, and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. OF course the purpose of
such a demand is clear Proof is re-
CURED that certain persons spend
more, and therefore have a greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that man may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

SEEK TO DEVELOP THE YAuTlA.
New Vegetable of Enormous Import
ance to Porto Rico.

Efforts are being made in Porto
Rico to develop new vegetable OF
economic and commercial importance.
1t is called the 'yautia, and is nearly
related 10 the taro-the plant that fur
nishes so valuable food to the ma
tives OF Polynesia, and which, under
the name of elephant ear" is famll-
iarly known as an ornament in our
own gardens.
Yautia was we'll known to the ma
tive. of the West Indies long before
the landing of Columbus and was
cultivated by the Caribs when the
Spaniards first arrived. Its starchy
tuberous root, which is the part that
Is good to eat, looks somewhat like
sweet potato, and is six or eight
inches long, with diameter OF a
couple of inches. When cut into
pieces and boiled it resembles boil
ed white potato in appearance.
The people of Porto Rico use the
root as a substitute for the potato,
usually boiled. though there are sew
eral other ways of preparing it for
the table. 1t costs one and half to
two cents a pound-twice the price
of taro root, which itself is used as
a food throughout the West Indies.
The plant has long. spear-shaped
leaves, instead of the broad one re-
sembling elephant ears, which dis
tinguish the taro.
There are about twenty-five varie-
ties of the yautia. 1t takes very
long season to mature the plant
which would not produce plant in
the United States unless 1t might be
in the south of Florida and along the
gulf coast.-New York Herald.

ed she could not dismiss it. She had
revealed her whole feeling, so far as
tho king was concerned, in her speech
to Abba. There may have been other
springs within her soul which she did
not then dare TO touch, but in her own
soul, unsupported and unlntiuenced by
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown fear
or Hsram, and terror of being his
wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena
until the dead queen seemed almost
an attendant spirit upon her, sent to
warn her. The night passed and the
day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
ii she could avoid it. When Abba
came, and asked her what she had de
ternined, such was the purport of her
answer
But" said the bondmaiden, there
is but one way in which the sacrifice
can be avoided. Are you ready to
ilee?"
Not yet-not yet, Abba. Wait
through the day"
In the afternoon the king made
visit to the house OF his prime minis
ter and spent a short time with Ulin
He never looked more repulsive. He
was loud in his words OF love. and
made the announcement that fortune
had turned full in his favor. 1t was

hands.

you can prepare for leaving the city, l
will accompany you this very night.
The bondmaiden promised that she
would do all in her power; and without
waiting to waste time in useless words,
she went forth to search for the help
she needed.
Evening came, and Ulin had not
shrunk back from the decision she
had made. There were two reasons
why her home had not power to win
her back from her resolve. The death
OF her mother had taken away the
brightest part of that home; and, fur
thermore Its character of home was
soon to be changed if she remained.
1t could not be her home any more.

CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour.

cit seemed like a dream to Uin.
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion of Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf of the
ciieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
The door was closed, and Abba re-
marked, as she took a seat:
HE will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my lady; and if we
can help him, we must do our work as
speedily as possible
Help" repeated ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. "How can we
help Julian?'
'The thing may be possible" replied
Abba in a thoughtful mood. eff you
would serve him, think way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said:
IF the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. I can very easily
see how the powerful robber band.
moved to desperation by the death of
their beloved leader, might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, if we can be the
means of averting so dire a calamity,
it is our duty so to do"
81 think it u.s." added Abba.
"But,' continued Ulin, elf Julian is
in the power Of the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him."
81 can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded "Osmir and Selim had a hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have hand in guarding him. judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case if the
kings officers had known it. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude of
this Osmir, and I think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom We found faint and
dying upon the shore of the lake, and
who must have died if we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
cumstance?"
Gle had almost been killed by some
slaves Of Aleppo," explained Abba.

an unusually large number had
