one of the commissioners OF inland
revenue. MIR. Mallet placed the nations
al income at S9,OO0,OOO,O0O against the
$500, 600, OOO of Prussia. The capital
Of the United Kingdom lie estimated as
$42,5OO,O0O.O 600, which was double that
OF France and four times that of Italy.
According to his estimate, the number
of persons possessed of fortunes of
over 100000 was in the United King
dom 10000, In France $4,000, in Prus-
STA 1900 and in Italy 1900. An Eng
lishman with an income of $4,000 pays
$3.50 income tax, a Prussian pays
$212.5O on $1,000 of unearned income
and $3.50 in the case of earned in

paper on which our greenbacks are
printed occurred up in the Maine
woods last winter. Three years ago a
lumberman who had been given a ten.

money on his way home. One day in

an open field, where 1t had been drop

WINDOW CLEANING.
item of Expense That Mounts I'm In
the Case of Biz Buildings.

Item of Expense That Mounts Up In
tho Case of Big Buildings.
The cost of having house or apart
ment windows of ordinary size cleaned
BY professional window cleaners is
about 10 cents a window. So q man
living, say, In an apartment having
ten windows would pay 81 for having
his windows cleaned; If he had them
cleaned twice a month 50 and IL once
q week 81 q month-not a matter of
very serious moment.
But when it zones to big buildings,
with many windows. the window
cleaning question may easily be a very
different proposition. The most re
Gently opened of the city's great mod
ern hotels has about $500 windows.
Obviously if it cost 10 cents each to
have these windows cleaned the cost
Of a single cleaning of them would
be $3.50.
II they We're cleaned twice a month
at that cost the expense would be $500
a month, or $500 a year. and to clean
them once u Wees at 10 cents d win,
dow would cost annually $4,000.
As a matter OF fact, the expense is
much less than that. but still the actual
cost of the work, done partly by con
tract and partly by the hotels own la
Dor, amounts TO Il sum that many Il
MAJ would be glad to have for a salary
or to have added to his annual income.
The cleaning OF the windows of this
great hotel from the ~greundstioor up to
and including the parlor floor is done
by contract by u window cleaning
concern. On the twenty floors above
the parlor floor the window cleaning
is done by men employed on the sew
eral floors, a la on each looking aft
er the windows on that floor.
For its part of the work the window
cleaning concern sends eight men. and
the number Of me employed by the
hotel that work on the windows on the
higher floors is twenty. Thus it takes
a considerable part of the time OF
tw~enty-eight men to keep the windows
Of the big hotel in order. and the AN

The Humor Of The D.el.

There was a touch of humor in the
bloodless duel between NJ. Millevoye.
the French editor, and Comte de No
allies. After the shots were fired the
editor hustled away. perhaps to get
out a special edition. The Comte Ma
thieu de Noailles scurried across the
field with an ugly looking knife in his
hand, uglier looking than the pistol,
and hacked away at a wooden fence at
the end of the ground. ~ have it!' he
shouted, after a minute, the ''it' being

put in his pocket. He has evidence that
something was fred in his direction.
